WEATHER WARNING & SPECTATOR EVACUATION
The USGA has meteorology staff on-site monitoring the possibility of inclement weather. In the event of inclement weather, please avoid open areas, hilltops, high places, isolated trees, golf carts and wire fences. If play is suspended, which will be indicated by one prolonged air-horn blast, please close your umbrellas and seek shelter. In the event of suspension of play, the grounds will be cleared immediately and spectators will be directed to return to their cars by shuttle. Spectators will be directed to return to the shuttle stand for transport back to their cars. Or, spectators may relax in the Main Clubhouse bar until the inclement weather subsides.
