Boss just asked if we can play Oakmont...

We have business up that way in a couple weeks. His question to me was "how do we play Oakmont". I said I think he could have his private club's Head Pro call Oakmont's to get us on and we'd pay our own way (obviously) but that I had to "check with some people who would know".

 

Anyone know if it will work this way at Oakmont?

I would have the pro call but they are kinda picky about things like that but never hurts to ask they just might say come on down.

I got on Oakmont last summer. The Ernie Els for Autism site had opportunities to donate to the charity in exchange for a round at various private clubs. Oakmont was one, so I was able to get a threesome that included lunch and supports a great cause. No, I won't tell you what I shot. Yes, it was as great as I had hoped.

Thanks everyone.

His course is Woodmont CC, a US Open Qualifier course (Shigeki shot 59 there a few years back). Head pro David Dorn, head teacher Wayne DeFranceso.

Definitely not exclusive to the tune of Congressional (down the road) but still 'exclusive'.

We will dig deeper into this tomorrow.

I say, it can't hurt to ask.

i live in oakmont pa allmost impossible to get on--they are very snotty
[/quote]

Why is it snotty for a private club to act privately?
[/quote]

agree.

People that play the "snotty" or "snobby" card are usually just jealous that they don't belong to said club.

I called a few years ago after qualifying for the PA Open which was at Oakmont that year. I know Bob Fords brother really well as he is our area Taylormade rep and I was a head pro at the time. He was very kind, but declined my request saying that I can only get on with a member. It can't hurt to try, but don't get your hopes up.

IIRC didn't Oakmont not allow any practice rounds for PA Open participants?

Played Oakmont last summer. Shot a great round there and it was an amazing experience. I would guess you don't get on without a member.

Oakmont's exclusivity makes some of the more prestigious private courses in my area (Aronimink, [b]Merion[/b]) look like muni's. If you get on kudos to you but I don't see it happening without a member.

Is Merion [i]relatively[/i] easy to get on compared to Oakmont? Maybe there is still hope as I've always been fascinated with the place. I'm pulling for the OP to get on. Maybe the boss knows a friend of a friend of a member.

I just want to know if the OP and his boss were able to play there or not, any updates?
[/quote]

Will find out Monday when I see the boss. His pro was going to reach out this weekend.

I'll keep you posted

Yeah Merion in the past has been fairly easy to get on to, you just need to call the pro shop a few weeks ahead of time and ask to play on a Monday and they are usually fairly accommodating. With the open coming up next year I can see them tightening up non member play though
