Pre-Majors Site Practice: Should It Be Controlled?

The Clubhouse Lounge

View Poll Results: Should the USGA limit U.S. Open course access prior to tournament week?
It is survival of the fittest. If an Exempt player can 'get on' the course, he should be allowed unlimited access prior to tournament week. 10 19.61%
The USGA should allow unlimited access as long as the standard practice round rules are observed. 13 25.49%
The USGA should impose limits on pre-tournament practice visits. 20 39.22%
There is no competitive advantage, so it really doesn't make any difference one way or another. 8 15.69%

You're not ever going to limit the advantage of knowing the course, but you CAN limit the advantage of knowing how the course is setup/playing in the weeks before the tourney and there can be big differences.

I don't think anybody should be allowed to play the course within the weeks leading up to the event and all players should be given the same standard practice rounds during the first part of the week.
