Fans get to walk course with no-rope policy at Vic Open
LPGA pros teeing it up Down Under will get their most intimate on-course tour experience at this week’s ISPS Handa Vic Open.
Per tradition in this unique men’s and women’s event, officials aren’t roping off galleries at the 13th Beach Golf Links in Victoria, Australia.
Fans are welcome to walk the course with players, to set up behind and alongside them as they play.
“One of the joys of watching live golf is being able to get close to the players, to see what they go through in preparation of a shot, to be able to stand behind them and watch,” said Stephen Pitt, Golf Australia’s CEO. “It really adds a special dimension to the event.”
