(WTNH) - Here are some of the rules of the course if you're heading to the Travelers Championship.

Cell phones are okay

New for 2011 -- You're allowed to bring your phone, PDA, etc, but you have to keep it on silent. There is a  Mobile Device Policy.

No cameras, except...

If you have tickets to the pre-tournament events, such as the Celebrity Pro-Am or practice rounds, yes, you can bring your camera and take pictures. However, once tournament play begins on Thursday keep the cameras away.

Alcohol

Yes, you can buy alcohol at the course once you have acquired a wristband. You get the wristband by going to a concession stand and showing ID that proves you're 21 or older. Once you have that you're good to go. Look for the concession stands throughout the course.

Entrance Gates and times

There are three entry gates. There's one at the main entrance, a second at the 9th fairway on Golf Club Road, and a third by the 6th Green off Field Road. The gates open at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the gates will open an hour earlier at 6:00 a.m. Pairing sheets will be available at the gate and information centers. We'll also post them on WTNH.com.

Keep an eye on the weather

Yes, it's summer in Connecticut and that means the chance for showers or even thunderstorms. Keep an umbrella handy along with your sunscreen, a hat and jacket. You just never know.

Golf shoes

Yes, you may wear golf shoes if you want, but NO metal spikes allowed.
