SHAME ON THE USGA

usopen 1 SHAME ON THE USGA

I dont consider myself an overly sensitive person but this story from Jason Sobel’s blog about not refunding USGA tickets is heartbreaking…

I hope this guy takes a heaping dump on Mike Davis’ doorstep

How can the USGA offer no refund or rain check for Thursday’s ticket. I bought eight tickets for Thursday (because it is my day off) and drove all the way from Rhode Island. We got to Bethpage around 10:30 a.m. We did not see one player hit a ball. We spent 2-3 hours in the merchandise tent (and spent big $$$$$). As the rain worsened, we left around 3:30 p.m. Then we drove all the way back to Rhode Island (in awful traffic) and just arrived home around 10:30 p.m. to find out the USGA is taking my $800 ($100 per ticket) and saying, “Tough!”

Did I mention I took my kids out of school to see their first Open? Now they hate golf.

If they offered a rain check, then I might consider driving back down; if I didn’t, then the loss would be mine. But to offer neither is unacceptable. $800 is a lot of money to get stuck in traffic, take two bus rides, spend money on clothes, get REALLY wet, then get stuck in more traffic … only to see NO golf!!! At this point, I want my refund.
