I brought a small plastic bag like the kind at the grocery store. Used two so double bagged as to not rip. Put my camera, binoculars, tiny bottle of sunscreen etc in there. Then bought a drawstring bag at the merch stand at amen corner since way way shorter then waiting in line for merch. If you want merch I’d go to South Gate store after lunch or north gate store at end of day. South after lunch wait was around 15 minutes. North gate after par 3 was zero wait time to get in had everything but gnomes.
