The Bob Hope Classic had something new this year. They put up an area called the Bob Hope Square. Normally the fans walk through the tent with Hope Memorabilia to get to the field at PGA West. One year, they put up a tent just with Bob Hope items, such as a small museum. I would like to see that return next year to the venue. Hope Square is a large area just behind the Driving Range at PGA West.



The Longest DriveVendor tents were set up with food, drinks and music. Other vendors included a Longest Drive contest where golfers could try to hit the ball as far as they could in the hitting area to win a prize and golf balls. The First Tee sponsors free golf for kids in the area. They held a putting contest with prizes. The putting green was erected in the shape of the Bob Hope Face logo by Back Nine Greens and was a hit with people as they walked by.

Hope-Square-139Music was provided all day. Sofas provided by Back Nine Greens were a good place to sit and watch. Tables were placed all over the area for people to sit and eat or drink. Many fans just took a rest from walking the course. Others just sat and listened to the music.

Barbecue, pizza and sandwiches were just some of the foods available in the Square. Other food and drink vendors were in front of the Club House at PGA West, but there was no seating.

This new and novel idea was well received by everyone attending. I think it will be bigger and even better next year.
