US Open 2020 - Winged Foot

[Billy-Bo-Jim-Bob 7]

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!

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.

Thanks, I'll check the terms on the tix when I get them.

Another reason why I like going to LPGA events. Prices are reasonable and you get to see some great golf up close and personal.

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.

Yes!  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.

Also, why does everything need to cater to the Avg. Joe?  Why has America somehow assigned some level of "valor" to Average Joe?

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...
