A detail that make this event so special is its “low tech” approach. The display boards aren't electronic; they're manual and regularly updated by real people changing names and numbers. Then there's the policy about absolutely no cell-phones, cameras and video cams that can be brought (even turned off) on to the course.
Don't plan to snap too many shots and post them on Facebook! Not much connection with the outside world for as long as one is on the course. A nice way for everyone to take a break from these all-invading electronic, hand-held devices! We seemed to saw bigger crowds on Friday than we did the day before and the people in attendance were mostly men. I would say 80 to 85% of the attendance. Only a few rare kids, that's all. No dogs, obviously, what a relief.
Around noon, we had a brief rain shower and as we were taking shelter under a clump of trees, we were told that king snake might fall on us, from the tree, but that they were harmless. Yuk! The rest of the day saw more sun pounding on us and we remained more time sitting on bleachers than walking the grounds...
