PGA Championship: Paid Parking and Free Concessions Abound

With official parking limited and resale prices soaring, local residents have turned to offering parking spaces on their lawns and driveways. Nick Scamuffa, a salon owner, is renting out parking spots for $150-$200 a day, expecting to make up to $20,000 over the weekend. Lexi Dahlin, a local resident, is renting nine spots on her lawn for $100-$150 a day.

Meanwhile, the PGA Championship is offering free food and non-alcoholic drinks to all attendees at three market concession locations. This includes items like biscuits, hot dogs, salads, and bottled water. However, alcoholic beverages come at a premium, with beer costing $15+.

Why does this matter? The parking situation highlights the entrepreneurial spirit of local residents and the challenges of hosting large-scale events. The free concessions program enhances the fan experience but is offset by high alcohol prices.

Prices vary, ranging from $100 to $200+ per day, depending on proximity to the course.

Free items include biscuits, hot dogs, salads, bottled water, sodas, teas, and coffee. Alcoholic beverages are not included.
