The athletes and celebrities at Edgewood Tahoe this week are usually happy to sign autographs for fans, but sometimes it depends on catching them at the right time.

It also helps if you're a child — in stature and age, that is; not behavior.

The American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament runs through Sunday at Edgewood Tahoe.

Here's how to go about trying to procure autographs:

Stake out practice areas: The practice putting green and driving range are the best spots to catch celebrities.
Follow key holes: Wait near the No. 17 tee box or the No. 18 green. Play often gets backed up at No. 17, allowing celebrities a few minutes to chat and sign autographs.
Bring a Sharpie: Come prepared with a permanent marker, and limit your items to one or two per celebrity.
Follow tournament rules: During official competition rounds, players are usually prohibited from signing autographs while on the course. Sports memorabilia like loose jerseys, trading cards and balls are generally prohibited; stick to the official tournament program or a hat.
