The office is closed for the day, but this Type A golf fan isn’t interested in clocking out. The Open offers a golden opportunity to grease some wheels and schmooze some future deals – i.e. a “Let’s do lunch!” Friday afternoon – and he needs to make sure he looks approachable, polished and accomplished. It’ll be a long day of corporate tent pop-ins, catch-ups and glad-handing, but his look is ready for it.
This nocturnal creature has come for the Birds Nest and its three-night bill of top musical acts, making up for the Ticketmaster shows she missed out on.
