A link would be nice.

I will add that his personal golf course is only about 40 minutes away and he is often there when not on tour events.

At about $230 in points, the golf and extras are a decent deal.

This is a phenomenal deal. Olympia fields is awesome and to get access is really rare unless you know members. Good value... no great value.. wish i was in the country as I'd do it.

I would have jumped on this for my son & I given the cache of points going unused. How was it announced? Usually get emails about these, didn't see any today. Darn the luck...

I got an email to each of my subscribed addresses. I'm guessing this was targeted regionally… are you in IL? It did sell out very fast.

Thanks for replying, no I'm in NY. Would have been an easy ISP-MDW flight until 2 years ago when WN canned the route. I loved changing in MDW, it was 1 stop to the entire WN world for me...

REALLY wish I had seen this. I didn't get an email on it. Have you seen golf events before? How common are they? Wish WN would have more of these - obviously this one went quickly.

Maybe Perry being on the senior tour needs more "money"

My hunch this was a one time thing, because he lives near the course.

They've done the golf at Pebble Beach thing at least twice IIRC.
