By Brian Weis

Get ready for the U.S. Senior Open

The big event is almost here! We're just days away from hosting the top senior golfers in the world at SentryWorld. There's still time to get advance tickets for the Tuesday-Wednesday practice rounds and Thursday-Sunday championship rounds.

Already have your tickets? Here are a few things to know before you go:

USGA APP: Download the app to access your digital tickets, get course information, view the fan guide, and receive updates on the tournament, weather, and more.

TICKETS: To keep the entrance lines moving quickly, have your phone fully charged with the USGA app opened. If you're bringing any kids 17 and under, stop at Will Call and request a complimentary gallery ticket for up to 4 juniors per day per ticketed adult.

WHAT TO BRING: There's only a short list of items you can carry into the grounds. For example, smartphones are allowed if they're silenced and not broadcasting any live action. You can also carry in an empty water bottle for refills at the on-course hydration stations. See the complete list of what you can and can't bring in the official fan guide.

PARKING: We offer complimentary parking in Lot Q at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Free shuttles will run continuously to and from the main gate. Event gates open daily at 7 a.m.

WHILE YOU'RE HERE: You can use the paved cart paths to walk the entire course and view the action from a variety of places. Check out the fan guide map to locate general admission grandstand seating. Only premium ticket holders can access private hospitality tents, skyboxes, and the clubhouse.

IT'S MORE THAN GOLF: Be sure to visit the Experience Wisconsin Fan Village with themed food, beverages, and activities for all ages. It also features a jumbotron for public viewing, lawn games, and umbrella tables for shaded seating. The Merchandise Tent, covering 8,000 square feet, will be a must-visit for golf fans looking to take home a piece of history. Keep in mind all purchases on-site will be cashless only.

You can access the complete fan guide here or on your USGA app. Enjoy the U.S. Senior Open!
Just a reminder: All SentryWorld properties-including Muse, PJ's, and The Inn-will be closed to the public during this special event.

In 2016, Brian won The Shaheen Cup, an award given to a golf travel writer by his peers.

All of his life, Brian has been around the game of golf. As a youngster, Brian competed at all levels in junior and high school golf. Brian had a zero chance for a college golf scholarship, so he worked on the grounds crew at West Bend Country Club to pay for his University of Wisconsin education. In his adult years, his passion for the game collided with his entrepreneurial spirit and in 2004 launched GolfWisconsin.com. In 2007, the idea for a network of local golf directory sites formed and GolfTrips.com was born. Today, the network consists of a site in all 50 states supported by national sites like GolfTrips.com, GolfGuide.com and GolfPackages.com. It is an understatement to say, Brian is passionate about promoting golf and golf travel on a local, regional, national and international level.

On the golf course, Brian is known as a fierce weekend warrior that fluctuates between a 5-9 handicap. With a soft fade, known as "The Weis Slice", and booming 300+ drives, he can blast it out of bounds with the best of them.
