Golf is a deceptive game. When you hear about how it is played, it sounds easy. No one is going to throw a ball at you. The ball you have to hit sits motionless. Just swing a club. How hard can that be right? You might think “Oh, how can this be exciting?” and move on with your life-giving the consent to sell your golf clubs. Then, you hit a perfect drive or you drain a 45-foot, double-breaking the putt, or you just miss your approach shot within a mere foot of the cup. Once again, you are motivated and you get the flavor of the game which is very much an acquired taste.
What makes golf exciting is the rarity of success. Not only is it extremely difficult to star of PGA Tour Radio as a pro-golfer, playing a high profile tournament but, it is also quite the task to be a decent golfer even in your country club. The ball might be sitting still but the physics involved in acquiring the desired ball flight is hard. You have to take in length, shape, distance, and trajectory into consideration and you cannot afford to be off even by a couple millimeters.
Summer is finally here and with that, so are the golf tournaments. This season, there is impeccable news for every golfer who loves to go to their country club and swing the club to watch the ball fly.
The golf tournament schedule is packed till September and is just one exciting tournament after another, with little to no breaks. This schedule is sure to keep every golfer on their toes with its dynamic range of activity. You would expect only a few of the tournaments to be worthwhile out of a packed schedule. However, you can not skip any of these tournaments since they are all high profile.
Here is a schedule for the upcoming five months:
