I saw somebody say they went to the British Open so I didn't want to derail that thread with this question so I made a new thread here.
What majors have you attended? What was your experience like?
2006 U.S. Open Winged Foot Practice Round
The only golfing event that I attended was actually a major. I was fortunate enough to receive tickets for the 2006 US Open Winged Foot practice round and it was incredible. The crowds were very reasonable and I got close to everybody I wanted to see. Tiger's crowd was a little ridiculous but I was 5 feet from him at one point when he was teeing off for one hole. A lot of the golfers were pretty easy going about giving autographs.
I was fortunate enough to get to speak to Sean O'Hair during the practice round when they were waiting on groups ahead of them and nobody was really following that group around. He really is a nice guy, I'm always rooting for him now. Sergio was kind enough to get in a picture with me (because I was talking to one of his friends in the crowd and he called Sergio over and he actually came right over).
2006 U.S. Open Winged Foot (Saturday Round)
I wish Tiger had made the cut but it was not to be. Still had a blast and followed Mickelson, Monty. J.B. Holmes, and a lot of other golfers. The crowds were very manageable the entire time and I could get close to the action on almost every shot. Awesome day.
