Can someone enlighten me on the appeal of getting the opportunity to get to see golfer's practice hitting around some golf balls? I just don't get it.

Nobody is on the course. Honestly it's amazing. Taking your kid there is as good as it gets. They get to just stand off the side of the green and the players walk right up to them say hey and sign something. The idea of the practice rounds is also that they take time out to sign and be around fans.

I was at the British Open this week. I walked with tom lehman for a couple holes on tuesday. I literally stopped walking with him because it was somewhat awkward that I was the only person following him.
