Billy-Bo-Jim-Bob 7 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Attended last years PGA at Bethpage for $100/ticket for a grounds pass. This year I laid down $150 for the US Open at Winged Foot. Shouldn't there be a ticket type that's more family friendly? How does the average Joe bring his family of 4 for a walk in the park? Something amiss here! 3 Quote Driver - Titleist TS3 9.5 Hzrdus Smoke 6.5 3 wood - TaylorMade SIM MAX Irons - 3-PW Titleist DCI 990 Wedges - Titleist Vokey SM4 50 degree and SM4 56 degree Putter - Odyssey WH RX VLine Link to post Share on other sites
GolfSpy MPR 10,684 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Defending high ticket prices isn't really my idea of a good time, but it's important to add: every time I've bought tickets for any PGA Tour event, one adult ticket also admits (at least) two kids free. 2 Quote Epic Flash Sub Zero, 9°, Aldila Rogue White 130 MSI 70 X Mavrik Sub Zero 15°, Aldila Rogue White 130 MSI 70 S F6 5-6W, 18.5°, Fujikura Motore 6.3 XTD Proto dHy 21°, Aldila Green NV Hybrid 105 S 699 Pro, Modus3 105, 5–PW Forged Black 50°, 54°, and 58° Stroke Lab EXO Seven Mini, 34" Z-Star XV Full WITB with pictures Link to post Share on other sites

The PGA Championship lets juniors (17 and under) in for free with a paying adult. I brought my kids to the 2017 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. Actually not a bad deal for the three of us. 2 hours ago, tony@CIC said: Another reason why I like going to LPGA events.

And if you have a local LPGA tournament and a daughter that's into golf, get her signed up for LPGA/USGA Girls Golf, and she'll most likely get to go for free. https://www.girlsgolf.org/ 1 Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 4 Wood (17*) - Big Bertha S2H2 - RCH 90 "Firm" 7 Wood - Big Bertha Warbird S2H2 - RCH 90 "Firm" 5i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) GW - LW - F8 - N.S.

Outlier 0 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Also, why does everything need to cater to the Avg. Joe? Why has America somehow assigned some level of "valor" to Average Joe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chadwzimm 53 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 That's an incredible policy to be able to bring kids for free basically! Wish more sports were like that. I can't wait to bring my 2 year old when she's older and I have a little more control over her need to constantly be talking! Maybe we'll start with a practice round... 1 Quote Mizuno ST200G driver, Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-6S shaft Mizuno ST190 3 wood, Graphite Design Tour AD GT-8S shaft Titleist TS2 19* hybrid, Project X Hzrdus Smoke Black 80g 6.0 shaft Mizuno MP18 SC 3i-PW, KBS Tour 120 stiff shafts Titleist Vokey SM7 F grind 50*-08* wedge flex Titleist Vokey SM7 S grind 54*-10* wedge flex Odyssey Stroke Lab Marxman Srixon Z-Star/Z-Star XV balls Ping C-4 Hoofer stand bag Link to post Share on other sites
