Golf spectating

Posted by: user107015 | Mon 6th Jul 2009 17:10 | Last Reply

Hello,

 

Recently I was given trickets for the Scottish Open at Loch Lomond and having never spectated a live golf event was wondering  whats the best way of doing it. I understand it comes accross as a really stupid question

Do i pick a player and follow them on their round or choose a spot and watch the players come in, I just want to make the most of it. Thanks in advance and sorry for the silly question

 cheers

I've attended the Scottish Open the last 2 years and still may be going up on Thursday. You'll get a list of tee-times as you go in. Theres 2 ways of doing it. 1) find a spot on the course and watch all the groups come through or 2) follow a few groups around. You'll find you won't be able to keep up with a group if you follow them as they move so fast so you'll have to workout a few shortcuts. For instance at Loch Lomond you can watch play on the first then cut through to the par 3 5th which is a fantastic hole. That starts my favourite stretch along the loch, 5th,6th,7th. Last year I saw Mickelson hole in 1 on the 5th, shame he's not there this year. If you need any help let me know.
