I love both. But with a tournament round, you need to have a plan IMO.

Plant your chair on the hole you want to watch the most, and then look at the tee sheet for which groups you want to watch. From there, use your judgment to figure out how many groups in advance you need to be at a specific hole. If I want to watch someone on 15, I’m going to get there while they’re on 14 fairway.

In between 2, 3, and 4 is a really good place to walk around (if you’re willing to move). Switching behind 1 & 8 can be fun.

Also, personally, I like to see the hole when people are putting, so when I do my early morning walk, I’ll scout out which pin positions are best for viewing (if that makes sense).

You’ll have a blast regardless.

Agreed - especially if you only have one day.

Yep. We plant ourselves on the hill overlooking 16 green everyday so we have a view of 15 approach/green, 16 green, and 17 tee...also have 5 green and 6 tee behind us, as well as relatively quick access to bathrooms, food, and the smaller gift gift shop below.

Over the years, Thursday & Friday have been just bounce around days - we'll follow whomever we're interested in and maybe spend some time on holes we know we likely won't on the weekend.

On Sat & Sun we're generally following specific groups, and camping on a few holes like 4, Amen Corner, and 16.

I love it. There's no place on Earth like it.
