Tickets to the U.S. Open cost over $100. It’s a trek to get to Bethpage Black. Yesterday’s rain out left fans with very little golf to watch, not even half the play was finished.
Yet the USGA has decided no refunds or rain checks for those fans who bought tickets to Thursday’s round. That is pretty shameful. That is one of the reasons why golf has a major problem with sponsors pulling out and negative reaction in Congress. The perception is that golf is an elitist sport that doesn’t care about the average Joe or Jill. If I spent my pay check on going to the U.S. Open on Thursday, I would be livid.
