I have been to a few PGA tournaments and some PGA practice rounds. I agree - practice rounds are much better as the players are relaxed, joking with the gallery, and you can see how they prepare for the tournament. At a practice round, I saw Rory, Lee Westwood, Darren Clark, and Graeme McDowell playing together. Between one hole, they all walked very slowly along the gallery signing an autograph for anyone who wanted one! Must have been 50 or 60 people and it took about 15 minutes. Not very legible writing - more of a scribble but still very nice and people really appreciated it!
Golf is much better watched on TV. At a tournament, you can only watch one group at a time so you have no idea what is going on at the other 17 holes while if you watch on TV, you can see what is happening all over the course.
