This is always a fun day. It's nice to be outdoors, follow your favorite golf pro's AND the people watching is stellar. Try to score VIP tickets if you can. "Free" trumps the $7.00 beer anyday!
The Open is well organized, civil, and ahem, lots of bathrooms available. The parking/ shuttle system works seamlessly. We prefer Sunday when it is less crowded. Haven't attended the parties or music events but they look fun. It is an annual event we look forward to.
