I know that this is a little compared to PGA or LPGA.. but it was fun..
It was at Stone Lick Hill Golf Course in Batavia Ohio..


I took my wife and my 3.5 year old son with us. We made sure that he wasn't too loud (He did great).

Got an autographed balls from Briana Vega and Ashley Gomes (they are both from Big Break show).
My kid also got an autographed glove from Adrienne Gautreaux.
We also saw Ashley Prange, but she was busy playing so we didn't get an autograph.

I see people asking for autographs.. Players were very nice and everything ran very smooth.

The key is to take a kid to these shows and instead of just autographs, they will give you balls signed.

We didn't even ask for them.


Great weather (very little rain), great day overall..

Can't wait till August so we can go to PGA event in Akron..


Just wanted to share..

Man, I gotta get me one of those "kid" things! Does anyone do short-term rentals ? Is there a particular make/model that scores the most schwag?

Sounds like a great time. Did junior understand what was going on?

Neither the LPGA nor Duramed Futures Tour has a stop in Seattle. Bummer.

Make sure you get the "kid" model that walks and at least talk little. ANything under the age of 12 should be good.


My kid acts very shy, but loves attention. He understands golf very little, but likes to be outside.
It was very much a fun day.
They didn't charge for the kid and it was $5 each for all 3 days..
Cheap fun, great day to spend outside..
Can't ask for much more..

sounds like a great time. i missed out on their stop in texas this spring. i;ll have to check it out next time.



regarding foxtrot's schwag seeking.......



i have three for rent. 11, 8, 5. All girls, blonde hair, well behaved, personality plus. You are required to feed them and buy them souvenirs........seattle would also include travel expenses.....no greyhound bus.

the 8 y/o is a mini-me so she costs double. but if you want all three...i can cut a deal.

Don't tease. I have a gigantic soft spot for little girls. Put me in a room with them and I instantly develop a father/big brother complex and I want to protect them from the world.

Not sure I could handle 3 at once. My experience is that 1 is a handful. You must have some mad momma skillz.

I went to two events last year. Had a blast. I decided to enter this years pro-am. A great deal. Alas, my game has gone to pot.

As far as he kid and the events, if you get the "tour kid" you guaranteed an extra 3 signed balls and gloves per round.

That was one of my questions about the tournament..

I see some players with a caddie, some carry their own bags, and some have bags in the golf cart.

I guess there are no rules? Can we ask if I can carry the bag?
