Thinking about going to watch the womens open in blackpool. Bit never been to watch golf live what should i expect what days are best??
I dont mind going on the practise days if they have them when the players are more relaxed and more likly to sign autographs.

Went to Birkdale on a practice day last year. Saw loads of players as described above for first half of day then followed Jim Furyk and his group for 18 holes. Some serious practicing went on and alot of messing about, having a laugh with the spectators etc. Enjoyed that practice day more than the actual event day because you could almost pick your own spot anywhere on the course within reason and give them abuse if they messed up (and they do, believe it or not) just like you would with your mates. All in good fun. Just amazed me how much practice they actually manage to fit in during the course of the day. Watched Rocco Mediate practicing in a bunker and he put 20 out of 20 on exactly the same spot every time. Well worth going in my opinion.
