We at the USGA are thrilled to bring the 114th U.S. Open and the 69th U.S. Women’s Open to Pinehurst No. 2, which has had a remarkable legacy and unquestioned influence on the game. This year’s U.S. Open is the third to be contested on Pinehurst No. 2, all within the past 15 years, and it has also hosted two U.S. Amateurs, a U.S. Women’s Amateur, and a U.S. Senior Open. With this year’s U.S. Women’s Open, it will become the first course to have hosted all five of these prominent USGA championships. Pinehurst Resort was founded in 1895, the same year in which the USGA conducted its first national championships. Golf was introduced here three years later, and in 1900, Donald Ross was hired to direct golf operations, propelling a renowned course-design career whose crowning achievement is generally acknowledged to be Pinehurst No. 2. Ross nurtured and improved upon the course over the nearly five decades that he lived here, and the extensive work completed in 2011 by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw has restored Ross’ genius. The first U.S. Open at Pinehurst in 1999 provided one of the championship’s enduring moments, when Payne Stewart sank a par putt on the 72nd hole to edge Phil Mickelson by one stroke. In 2005, Michael Campbell of New Zealand defeated Tiger Woods by two strokes to become the first international qualifier to win the U.S. Open. Other USGA champions at Pinehurst are Labron Harris Jr. (1962 U.S. Amateur), Vicki Goetze (1989 U.S. Women’s Amateur), Simon Hobday of South Africa (1994 U.S. Senior Open) and Danny Lee of Korea (2008 U.S. Amateur). Pinehurst’s place in the game has long been assured, and it is poised to provide more memorable moments with these historic championships. We hope that you enjoy the U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open, and we urge you to join us at another of our national championships this year. As always, thank you for your support of the USGA and our mission of honoring and giving back to the game of golf. Thomas J.

WWW.USOPEN.COM WWW.USWOMENSOPEN.COM | 5 SPECTATOR INFORMATION Autographs Spectators should keep in mind that the players’ first responsibility is to compete for the national championship. For this reason, a no-autograph policy is in effect on course throughout both championship weeks. Spectators should not approach any player for an autograph from the time a player is en route to his/her first tee until the completion of the player’s round. This policy applies to practice rounds as well as championship rounds. Camera Policy Cameras are only allowed on the championship grounds for the U.S. Open practice rounds, Monday through Wednesday, and for the U.S. Women’s Open on Tuesday and Wednesday, and only for personal photographic use. No photography is permitted in the presence of a player from the time he/she addresses the ball until the completion of his/her swing (i.e., when a marshal’s arms are raised). Video recording is not permitted at any time with any device. Corporate Hospitality The USGA provides a range of hospitality facilities for on-site corporate entertaining. Only the specific ticket for each corporate hospitality location provides access to that facility. Children will also need the specific corporate hospitality ticket to gain access into the corporate hospitality facilities since regular Junior tickets do not provide access. IBM Business Centers offering internet access, printers, phone service, etc., will be available in all hospitality facilities. For information about corporate hospitality for future U.S. Open Championships, please visit www.usopen.com or contact MSG Promotions, Inc. at 484-223-3295. Disabled Spectators The USGA is committed to providing a positive and user-friendly experience for all spectators with disabilities and is pleased to provide the following services: Accessible parking spaces for all vehicles having appropriate HD/DP license plates or placards will be reserved at all parking locations.

  • Playing Hickory Golf While You Piece Together a Vintage Set
    CHAPTER 10 cmyk 4/11/08 5:13 PM Page 165 Chapter Title CHAPTER 10 Questions And Answers About Hickory Golf Q: How much does it cost to get started in hickory golf? A: You can purchase inexpensive hickory clubs for as little as $25 each. Obviously, these are not likely to be of a premium quality and will probably require work to make them playable. At Classic Golf, we offer fully restored Tom Stewart irons for about $150 each with a one-year warranty on the shafts against breakage. Our restored woods are about $250 each for the premium examples. So, a ten-club set with two woods would run $1,700. A 14-club set would be $2,300. This compares favorably with the purchase of a premium modern 14-club set where your irons are $800, your driver is $400, fairway wood $200, two wedges at $125 each, hybrid at $150, and a putter at $200 for a total of $2,000. Q: Can a beginner or high handicap golfer play hickory golf? A: Yes. That is how it was done 100 years ago! It can be an advantage starting golf with clubs that require a more precise swing. Q: Are there reproduction clubs available and are they allowed in hickory tournaments? A: Reproduction clubs are available from Tad Moore, Barry Kerr, and Louisville Golf. Every tournament has its own set of rules. The National Hickory Championship allows reproductions because pre-1900 clubs are so difficult to find and are very expensive. At the present time there are ample supplies of vintage clubs available for play, but this could change with the increasing popularity of hickory golf.

Americans infatuated with golf established country and golf clubs, built ornate club- houses, laid out inland park courses, experimented with new types of equip- ment, and even modified time-honored rules. Scottish and English officials resented the upstart Americans who dared to challenge the traditions and authority of the sportsmen of St. Andrews and other hallowed centers of British golf, but in the long run the British had little power to stop or even slow down the inexorable tide of change.
