If you haven't been to an Open, I'd definitely suggest going, though. The experience at Q-Masters is worth the travel time.
It is a fun tournament for railbirds. I enjoyed each Open I went to. It was the week-long stay and expenses incurred that puts a bite on me going now. I don't have work coverage anymore, and I can't afford to take that much time off of work. It's only a 3.5-hour drive from me, and a beautiful drive, I might add. Virginia is a great state once you leave D.C. proper. The rolling hills, green grasss, trees, foilage, it's very scenic.
This tournament room, though, is way smaller than the Chesapeake Conference Center, unless they have remodeled. I was there when it was Holiday Inn. Now it's a Marriott.
