When: 11:10 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 28
Ever been to a professional golf tournament? Ever been to the Torrey Pines golf course? The answer to both questions for me is no, but I intend to change this Monday. Due to inclement weather over the weekend, specifically heavy fog, the tournament was delayed from finishing on Sunday and tournament organizers announced free admission for Monday’s conclusion. Quite a discount from the $40 regular price for a daily pass to the event.
Additionally, parking will be free Monday at the Torrey Pines gliderport (Lot A) until the lot is full per the tournament twitter account .
If you are riding a bicycle to the event, you can help raise funds for the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition (SDBC) while enjoying a free round of spectating. The tournament has free bicycle parking next to the driving range and Farmers Insurance will donate $10 to the SDBC for each attendee that checks their bicycle.
The weather for tomorrow is forecast as sunny with a high of 59 degrees, so it should be a beautiful day on the course. Tiger Woods is currently the leader with a six stroke lead over Brandt Snedeker and Nick Watney. For the icing on the cake, Monday’s round commences at 11:10 a.m., so in addition to getting free admission you don’t even have to get out of bed early or fight traffic (until the parking lot anyway).

So, how was it?
The day was great, but unfortunately the two 2-year-olds with me weren’t very interested in the golf scene so we didn’t make it in. Arrived about 9:45, there was already a pretty heavy traffic flow to Lot A, and the little ones were getting antsy in the back seat so we opted for Torrey Pines beach.
Great day for walking and throwing rocks – I guess I’ll have to accomplish my PGA viewing goal another day though.
