Liv Golf Invitational Portland Wine Control Series
The Oregon Alcohol Control Agency has mandated licenses to sell alcoholic beverages at large events such as the Invitational Series at Pumpkin Ridge and staffed with controllers.
This competition, in addition to the top golf competition with many A-list stars who have just quit the PGA Tour, also combines three days of entertainment and dining. There is a music festival every night, with skydiving performances before each round, jugglers riding unicycles and music buzzing until golfers enter the competition.
The daily package costs $70 per person and $90 for a family of two adults and up to four children. A beer is $5 and wine and cocktail is $10. Those involved in drinking will wear identification bracelets.
"The beer here is very cheap, only $5. I will spend $70 drinking beer and witness the big stars' games with my own eyes," said Benjamin Beacher, an audience member.
In order to prevent overcrowding, the cooking department of Invitation Series Portland hired Baoan PAC-TAC Company. This service is dedicated to providing police with at least three years of experience.
In Pumpkin Ridge, they have at least 15 alcohol control officers in food courts or amusement parks. According to GolfWeek, there are both adults and young people in the force because they are just old enough to vote. They all wore pale yellow uniforms with a capital task name on their chests.
The nature of this job sounds like trying to ruin the party ethos. But in reality, the group only found signs that people were drinking too much and intervened to help them avoid being caught by authorities and issuing fines.
PAC-TAC boss Jeromy Hasenkamp said there were only two minor issues to deal with throughout the game. One of them is a case of spectators falling after grabbing the trunk of a recording truck and crossing the fairway.
The Invitation Series Portland takes place in a joyful atmosphere of welcome and protest. The last round, July 2, recorded severe traffic jams on the way to Pumpkin Ridge.
The event ended on the morning of July 3rd, Hanoi time. South African golfer Branden Grace won the individual title with-13 points for $4 million and another $375,000 when Team GB split $1.5 million to finish second. Grace trailed Mexican runner-up Carlos Ortiz by two strokes, while American golfer Patrick Reed finished third (-9). Ortiz received $2.125 million.
Former world No 1 Dustin Johnson had the same $1.275 billion points as compatriot Reed, but was fourth due to a low score in the second half of the final round. Johnson captained the Four Aces, leading Reed, Pat Perez and Tallor Gooch. They ranked first in the group group, with a prize of $750,000 each.
