i went for the first time last year, for the final day only. i was able to stay in a spot or two (on the first tee, and then under the big tent by hole # 6) to see a good number of players throw (i saw paige pierce, dave dunipace, avery jenkins, holly finley, paul ulibarri...). i followed nate doss' group for a few holes (if i remember right, steve rico was in that group), and then followed a group with simon lizotte, the champ ken climo, and eric mccabe -- gotta see simon throw hole 5, right?) for a bit. then, i looped back and met up with the lead group on hole 5 and followed them from there.
so, through a combination of staying in one spot and following groups, you can see a lot, both of the course and of players you might want to see throw. i loved the experience and would do it again in a heartbeat. the final group was definitely crowded, so not the best way to get the close-up view of how the pros play the course. but the final group was epic -- hole 14, where mccray took off running, and patrick brown hitting that long put? and those long put-ins mccray kept hitting, like on 7? come ON!
a couple things that surprised me (ABSOLUTELY not a knock -- i think there are good reasons for these things, and i could also have just missed something): 1) i couldn't find food at the tournament -- i left the course for a while to go get lunch; 2) i only saw innova selling discs. i live in a place where stores only sell innova, so i was looking forward to fondled some plastic by other manufacturers, and maybe chatting with some of the reps. this definitely appeared to be primarily innova's shindig throughout, though, so it made sense once i got there.
hope that helps!
