Alright, wanted to share how I went about finding the tee times for the U.S. Senior Open this year, the 2024 one. Heard it’s happening over at Newport Country Club – pretty neat historical spot, one of the original USGA clubs, apparently dates back to 1894 which is something. The dates are set for late June, 26th through the 30th. So, I figured I better find out when the players actually hit their first shots.
My Process for Finding the Info
Here’s basically what I did, step-by-step, nothing too complicated:
- First things first: I just opened up my web browser, the one I always use, and went straight to my go-to search engine. Standard procedure for me.
- Search terms: I typed in something simple and direct. Tried a couple of things like “US Senior Open 2024 tee times” and maybe “Newport Country Club golf schedule June 2024”. Kept it basic.
- Sifting through results: Got a whole list of pages back, as you’d expect. News articles, some sports sites I recognized, maybe a few blogs. My main goal here was to skip past anything that looked like guesswork or just re-reporting old news. I wanted the official source. Usually, that means finding the USGA website itself, or a dedicated page they set up for the championship. That’s generally the most reliable place.
- Navigating the official site: I spotted a link that looked like it went straight to the USGA’s championship section for the Senior Open. Clicked that. Once the page loaded, I had a quick look around the menus and links. Sometimes you gotta poke around a bit. I looked for obvious labels like “Schedule”, “Player Info”, “Pairings”, or the golden ticket, “Tee Times”.
- Finding the actual tee time info (or the plan for it): Okay, so I found the area with the schedule information. Now, here’s a common thing with golf tournaments – they often don’t release the exact player pairings and their specific start times until just a couple of days before Round 1. Like, maybe the Tuesday or Wednesday before things kick off on Thursday. So, what I actually found confirmed the tournament dates (June 26-30) and had a note saying something like ‘Tee times will be posted closer to the championship’. Pretty standard stuff.
What I Did Next
So, no big surprise, I didn’t get the full list showing exactly who plays when, down to the minute. But that’s fine, I sort of expected that this far out. The really important thing is, I found the official page where they will eventually post that information. Knowing exactly where to go back to is key for me.
To save myself hassle later, I just went ahead and bookmarked that specific page right there in my browser. Easy peasy. That way, when we get into tournament week, say that Monday or Tuesday, I can just click that bookmark. Boom, straight to the info I need without having to do the whole search routine again. Should show the pairings and times once they’re official.
All Set Now
So yeah, that was my little practical task, finding where the Senior Open times will be. Just involved a quick search, pinpointing the official spot online, and saving it for later access. Now I feel prepared. Just gotta practice some patience until late June rolls around, then I’ll check back on my bookmark. Really looking forward to seeing the matchups and following the action from Newport this year.
