Anyone going this year? I ask because I would love to go watch a practice round or the skins round and maybe a saturday or sunday round. However, I cant afford to buy a whole week package and miss that much work. Or I cant bring myself to shell out 20+ for a practice and a 50+ for a regular round through online ticket agencies, when a patron pass costs $155 for the week. Anyone have a patron pass they would like to split, or anyone want to split one with me? I am probably taking a friend, so looking for 2.

Granparents have tickets for all 4 days, they usually give one of the days up to me and its usually Fridays session.

Check out volunteering. Give a few hours of your time a week or two before the tournament and get your patron badge for free.

I have volunteered at a hospitality house for a few years on the 18th hole. Pretty fun and we usually get to go out on the course whenever we want after our time is up. Last year a buddy and me grilled all kinds of food for the whole party. I'd say probably a couple hundred people. Also, the last few times I've been there, a couple of the CBJ's pepsi girls have been there either bartending or doing something else while scantily clothed. While we were grilling their main task was refilling our drinks and cooling us off with cold wet towels :D Definitely trying to make an appearance this year too.

Just found out I can work at house on 18 all day every day, get paid $10 an hour, drink for free, and go out on course after party dies down a little bit. Pretty sweet deal.

I did a sales and marketing internship, lot of grunt work, but it was a fun time and good experience.
