Attending the Phoenix LPGA International Tournament

After the 2009 season the LPGA cut back its schedule due to fewer sponsors and other economy-related issues. Arizona fell of the LPGA list. Hopefully, it will be back. This is a beautiful place to host a golf tournament!

Here are a few things you should know about attending the Phoenix LPGA International Golf Tournament that I hope will make your visit more enjoyable.

Tips for Attending the Phoenix LPGA International Golf Tournament in Arizona

1. There is usually good signage on the road approaching the event telling you what lanes you need to use.
2. Wear comfortable shoes. You may do a lot of walking, and not all areas are flat.
3. The best days to get autographs are on Pro Am days and before and after practice rounds. That's Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Golfers walking from the clubhouse to the practice greens, from the practice greens to the driving range, and to and from the media tent are most likely to grant an autograph.
4. Even on Pro Am and practice days, it is not appropriate to ask for an autograph during a round of golf, although some ladies will sign in between holes. A good place to get autographs on those days are the finishing holes, 9 and 18, when their rounds are over.
5. You may bring a camera to the event on Pro Am and practice round days, but not during the tournament, which is Thursday through Sunday.
6. On Thursday and Friday, when the entire field is playing, tee times usually start very early, around 6:30 a.m. and players will tee off from both the 1st and the 10th holes as their first holes. After the final cut is made, for Saturday and Sunday play, tee times usually start at about 7:30 a.m.
7. Please leave your cell phone home or in your vehicle.
8. Lawn chairs are not permitted. Low beach chairs and golf stools are allowed.
