The visibility of the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department
It has exceeded those expectations nike air max 2011 mens to such an extent that officials are considering halting weekend ticket sales to the Bear Trap (near holes 16 and 17) and perhaps for weekend general admission, too, before the start of the March 1-4 tournament at PGA National.
“It’s something we’re studying as a possibility,” Kennerly said. “We want to make sure it’s as enjoyable an experience as possible for everyone who attends.”
Call it The Woods Effect.
Woods has played in the event only once – as an amateur in 1993 – and never during the five years it has been conducted at PGA National. The tournament drew 111,000 fans last year, and Kennerly said advance ticket sales were up by approximately one-third this year even before last week’s announcement that Woods would be in the field.
With Woods in the field, attendance could soar to something beyond 160,000.
It’s a wonderful concern for the Honda Classic to have, of course, but Woods’ decision means tournament officials must make adjustments in areas ranging from security to concessions to transportation.
“We’ll make sure extra security attention is paid to entry points nike air max 2010 mens away from the main gate and along the perimeter of the course,” Kennerly said. “We don’t want anyone jumping a fence to get in.”
The visibility of the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department will be increased. A private firm also will be involved in providing security.
And then there’s the business of concessions.
