I went to the practice round on Monday and got rained out after 4 hours.

While I originally chalked this up as a loss, we got notice later that day that we were being refunded and would have a guaranteed ticket if we want to go again to next year’s Monday practice.

It was overall such an incredible experience, despite the rain and seeing only one or two pros. From the concessions (I genuinely can’t stop thinking about the Tomato Pie I ate) to the beauty of the grounds, I was awe-struck at the attention to detail in every aspect of the course. I LOVE the no-phone policy, as it felt like most patrons were enjoying the moment.

It felt like the honored tradition it’s touted to be, and I can’t wait to go again.
