Man, I’ve been hooked on golf lately, and I’ve really been trying to up my game. I mean, I’m no pro, but I figured I could at least try to get better, right? So, I started following this guy, Harrison Endycott. Seems like he’s got some potential, and I thought maybe I could pick up a few things by watching his matches.
I started by just watching a bunch of golf events. There was the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run, the RBC Canadian Open at Hamilton Golf and Country Club, and the Mexico Open at Vidanta Vallarta. Man, those courses are insane! Watching Endycott play on those was pretty cool.
Then, I stumbled upon this article about the RSM Classic at St Simons Island in Georgia. It mentioned that Endycott was one of the players fighting for their PGA Tour cards. I didn’t even know what that meant at first, but apparently, it’s a big deal for golfers trying to stay on the tour. That got me thinking, what else don’t I know about this sport?
So, I did some digging, and boy, was there a lot to learn! I found out that most tournaments are 72-hole stroke play events. That means they play four rounds over four days, and the guy with the lowest total score at the end wins. And those major tournaments like the Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and the Open Championship are the cream of the crop, the most prestigious events in golf.
But here’s where it got even more interesting. I discovered that getting into those tournaments isn’t easy. Some PGA TOUR events have these 18-hole qualifying rounds on Monday of tournament week. And get this, some players even have to go through a pre-qualifier just to get into the Monday qualifier! It’s like a whole other level of competition before the actual tournament even starts.

After all this, I started watching Endycott’s matches with a whole new perspective. It’s not just about hitting the ball; it’s about strategy, endurance, and fighting your way through qualifiers. This whole golfing world is way more complex than I thought! I am very glad to follow Harrison Endycott to enter the world of golf.
I’m still no expert, but I’m definitely learning a lot. Maybe one day, I’ll even try to qualify for a tournament myself. Who knows? But for now, I’m happy just watching, learning, and trying to improve my own game, one swing at a time.
