It’s positively completely different.
I’ve had the fortune of doing and seeing a variety of issues on this planet of golf and on Friday I did one thing that I by no means had in experiencing an occasion placed on by LIV Golf. Friday marked the start of LIV Golf Dallas and I, our resident Dallas Cowboys knowledgeable round these components, figured this was the proper place to take a look at what LIV is all about.
You might have heard that LIV is completely different from what you thought skilled golf is or was like. It definitely is.
Friday featured a ton of golf, let’s set that straight. Harold Varner and Patrick Reed, teammates on 4Aces, completed the primary spherical tied for the lead at 5-under as proof of it.
However LIV is sort of the expertise when it comes to issues occurring outdoors of the particular golf. If I needed to describe it in any kind of manner it seems like a pageant occurring the place world-class golf is the principle act that’s accessible at any level on property.
That is partly the case for LIV given their shotgun begin. Motion started at Maridoe Golf Membership at 11:05am native time and you might step foot anyplace you needed to go to any gap and be part of the expertise.
Incredible meals choices are round each nook the place all kinds of households and teams are gathered. Strolling across the property I noticed full-on household teams, younger associates sporting merchandise from well-known YouTube golf creators and golf fans with merchandise from tournaments just like the Open Championship. All factors of the spectrum have been represented.
One of many issues I discovered fascinating is that LIV has an tools truck on the property that travels from event to event. This truck stays by way of the complete competitors, a element that’s completely different on different excursions in golf, and exists as a spot for the golfers to tinker with their tools on a second’s discover. If a level must be altered or a shaft doesn’t really feel proper or another variety of hypotheticals… they will are likely to it within the identify of giving every athlete one of the best probability attainable within the competitors at hand.
In order for you a extra upscale expertise at LIV Golf you’ll be able to spring for Membership 54, one other level on property the place you’ll be able to enter (solely the professionals get to enter the tools truck, clearly). A wide selection of meals choices exist, all that I noticed seemed unbelievable… there have been even brownies formed like golf balls, and there are a selection of cooling mechanisms in place to maintain issues comfy when it’s scorching prefer it was on Friday at Maridoe. In order for you a extra energetic expertise you’ll be able to head to the Birdie Shack the place equally scrumptious choices await alongside a vibe that is a little more loud and dialed up.
This in the end describes what LIV was and is in my estimation. By now persons are conscious of what they assume are the variations in it with it being a shotgun begin, “solely” being 54 holes and no matter else you wish to add to the listing for conjecture. When you can hunt for issues you could not like what I skilled was golf performed on the highest degree attainable with followers from all walks of life and with various ranges of expertise in golf at giant having fun with it at a most degree. Who can’t get on board with that?
Each a part of my Friday at LIV Golf Dallas was enjoyable and crammed my cup as an enormous golf fan. I even modified my thoughts on the shotgun begin of all of it (I used to be initially towards this) provided that I used to be out of the occasion properly in time to take pleasure in the remainder of my Friday. There may be room for every part in golf, no less than there must be, and I’m a fan of the room that LIV is changing into. I’m trying ahead to what Saturday brings and sharing my ideas from there as properly.
If solely the Texas warmth might relax a bit of!
