Pros and cons of attending LIV golf tournament in Orlando.
When we arrived had no idea which parking lot we were suppise to park in. We went to wrong parking lot. The officer told us we had to turn around and go back to where we came from. I asked if there was any handicap parking, He didn't know so we went to the 1st parking lot. We asked 3 people if there was handicapped parking. Nobody knew so they parked us in this big field. We had to walk probably 300 yd to front entrance to go through security. Took about 30 minutes to get through security, even though they had 4 separate lines, because line was so long. Then we had to walk about another 3 or 400 yd to number 9 green. They did have a handicap spot set up for handicapped people by number 9 green. Just about all the spots were taken. We had a hard time watching when the players got on the green because all the cameras were right in our way. It got pretty hot once the clouds were not blocking the sun. One of the volunteers walked by we asked him where could we get some water? He said how many do you need I said too? He said I'll be right back. He came back in about 10 minutes with 2 Cold bottles of water which was really nice we thank them a lot. We were told when we came in that when we were ready to leave to go over to the Ada shack and they will give us a ride back to the parking lo. so we walked over to the Ada shack. We had to wait 30 minutes before somebody. Finally came around in a golf cart to give us a ride back to the parking lot. Was not very well organized we did get to see some of our favorite players. Very casual took a little get used to the different format. We heard a lot of people complaining about the disorganization. Don't think I'll be attending anymore LIV tournaments
I'm sorry you had to experience all that. I went on Friday so I could avoid the crowds. I walked right in, no line, they didn't even check for my ticket on my phone! But the parking situation was very difficult. I can't imagine being disabled and dealing with all that sand to walk through, let alone find the dang thing!
