It's called J O H N A N D J E A N N I N E H E N E B R Y N E W Chambers Bay Golf Course: Site of the 2015 U.S. Open Thursday, May 14 The U.S. Open is coming to the Pacific Northwest for the first time ever June 15–21. With expected total attendance of 235,000, it will be the largest sporting event ever held here. Nestled on the shores of the Puget Sound south of Tacoma, Chambers Bay opened in 2007 after being redeveloped from an abandoned gravel mine. The course was designed as a tribute to the links of Scotland, the birthplace of golf. Nothing will come easy for the best golfers in the world when they descend on Chambers Bay, where rumpled greens, sand, and wind off the water rule the day. Get to know the course and find out how Chambers Bay secured one of golf's four major international tournaments during this exclusive and informative daytrip from the WAC. Upon arriv- al at Chambers Bay, take in sweeping views as you stroll the grounds and observe prep- arations for the Open. We'll enjoy a buffet lunch and hear the story of Chambers Bay from Blaine Newnham, renowned golf writer who for 23 years was an associate editor and sports columnist for e Seattle Times, and Larry Gilhuly, Northwest agronomist for the Western Region of the U.S Golf Association. Newnham chronicled Chambers Bay's birth, its comparisons with Scotland's St. Andrews, and its selection for the 2015 Open in the recently published book, America's St. Andrews. Gilhuly helps make sure the U.S. Open greens are up to desired USGA standards. Trip includes motor coach from the WAC, lunch, and a cocktail or glass of wine. America's St. Andrews is on sale in the WAC Club Shop if you'd like to pick up a copy for Newnham to sign. 10 am–3 pm; $58; cancel by May 4 SU M T W TH F SA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 February 5–6 | 67th Father Daughter Banquet "Puttin' on the Ritz" 6 | Circus Oz 6–28 | Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel 7 | 8th Annual Tubing & Brews 11 | Grande Finales: Pairing Sweets and Spirits 12 | Bullitt Center The World's Greenest Office Building 14 | Jim Henson Dinosaur Train Live!
