I didn't get the 24-70 on because it's pretty wide on a full-frame camera and I didn't really want any "crowd/amphitheater/scene" type shots. Justin Williams said on June 7, 2007:

Press get press credentials and usually have badges and big stickers that show that they're allowed inside the ropes, with cameras, all days. Very cool that you'll be a volunteer. If you see me (you may recognize me), stop me and say hello. Where are you volunteering? DaveD said on June 5, 2007:

(First timer, and first time at a pro tournament.) At my training last weekend, they mentioned cameras are allowed only Monday-Wednesday? Is this only a USGA rule? An Open rule? Hearing this makes sense in ways, but I was still surprised. I was amazed at the preparations they are doing. 36,000 square foot merchandise tent. A row of generators, plywood _above_ the ground everywhere. They had to have closed the course down 2-4 weeks ago with everything they are putting up. Looking forward to it!
