I was just asked to go to the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay for work. I'll be entertaining two of our key contacts for one of our accounts. I assume it's pretty casual. But, I have never been to a golf tournament of any type before. I'll be in our hospitality tent.
Suggestions?

Tailored white cropped pants, a cute but cool (if it's hot) top, jewelry, flats or nice sandals.
Since you'll be entertaining in the tent and it's for work, I'd go a little dressy. You could also wear a sundress type of thing with a cardigan or jacket over it and then take that off if you get hot.

Business casual at the most casual. Personally I'd probably go a bit more dressed.. suit skirt and short sleeved blouse with a low heeled shoe.
The average spectator is usually dressed quite casually (jeans and t-shirts or polos). But you aren't an average spectator.

Or this kind of thing:
DH's company sponsors a tent at the Masters and this what I see people wearing there. If it's really hot and you're following the players, people are a bit more casual bc it's so hot (tailored shorts with a nice pretty tank top), but under a tent for a sponsored tent, I'd err on the side of dressy.

I've read there's a lot of walking involved so you might want to plan your shoes accordingly.

I've seen it run the gamut from golf shirt with cropped pants to silks and linens. Flats, nice sandals or a new pair of nice sneakers (if you're planning on sneaking out of the tent and walking any of the course). If your tent has a balcony, a visor or nice hat would be good to have on hand. The tour sales tent will have great apparel for sale and is worth checking out. My favorite part of my husband's work having a tent at the Women's Open was being able to use the trailer bathrooms with no lines or waiting and real sinks. It sure beat using port-a-potties.  |

Yes, I would dress smart casual. No shorts but either a sun dress or slacks or capris. Nice top to go with them and jewelry earrings and shoes Should be flat. I guess I am thinking Coldwater Creek catalog casual.  ? |

Have to add that I once got to work hey hospitality tent for a golf tournament that the zoo was having. I was at hole nine and had a blast all day talking to the golfers and offering them food.

I would opt for a knee length dress, smart but comfortable/low sandals.

Thanks...I was thinking Talbots kind of casual. No shorts for sure. I live in Seattle, so I should have a good idea of the weather. Hopefully it won't be too warm.

My daughter worked in the NBC tent @ Bethpage Golf Course in NY when Tiger Woods was playing. She had to wear a black shirt (golf type of shirt) tucked into khaki pants.

Rereading the email I received and I don't know if I'll be in the tent or out on the greens or both. I know I am not working the tent, we have a team that handles that. Although it sounds like a fun job. I am supposed to get more details soon.

How long will you be there? It sounds like they are using the high school I teach at as a type of headquarters for some sponsors. We have to have absolutely everything locked up and stored away in our classrooms. I like to come in the week after school is out and get ready for the next fall because my daughter's school gets out a week later. Unfortunately the teachers will not be allowed to park anywhere so it would be pointless to come to school that week.

shamrockpea I can't believe all the parking and road restrictions in place for the tournament! I grew up in UP and my parents now live in Steilacoom. My Facebook is full of people frustrated with all the closures. Traffic is going to be unbelievable! I had to laugh - some buffoon on ESPN said he was getting ready to head to Gig Harbor for the Open.

I am not looking forward to navigating parking and traffic...I imagine that will be a nightmare. Hopefully we'll get some guidance on that front. The other three in my group are all flying in from out of town and our company has blocks of rooms reserved at a hotel somewhat close by.

I would wear nice cropped khakis or khaki capris. I wouldn't wear white pants in a hospitality tent

I would happily pay for the ride vs. the price of parking and not having to fight the traffic. |

Uber is definitely an option. I'll have to see where our three out of owners will be and perhaps drive to their hotel and all Uber together.
I'll be there on Fri June 19. Our hospitality tent is billed as a "hospitality chalet". It looks pretty cool.
