At least a few clips, anyway. There should be some good ones online by now. Just search for PNC Championship 2021. I know golf isn’t for everyone but I’ve played since I was a kid, thanks to my dad. And he played thanks to his dad. It’s a great way to get away from stress, challenge yourself mentally and physically and you always meet new people. I know more and more people getting into it. But as far as TV coverage- I’m not sure it will be interesting unless you play and/or are familiar with the players. I just encourage people to check it out.
I think 20 years ago or so our company took us to Dave and Busters where they had the golf. That was the time I realised its much harder than it looks. No matter how many times I swung I never connected to the ball. Thats when I knew, I had other important things to achieve in life, haha.
But I know once you master it, it can be a very good stress relief. Maybe when all this is done and I have some free time to relax, I might give it another shot.
Couple things-you can always take a lesson or two. The clubs you used at D&B may have been too short (or maybe you were playing righty when you should have been lefty, it’s surprising how many people play golf on the “wrong side.”) There are a lot of variables and you never really master the game but I would say, try again if you’re interested. You can get preowned clubs once you figure some things out. Good luck!
Just start out going to a driving range. Some let you borrow clubs but if you can, get to a used sporting goods store (like Play It Again, ) and grab a driver and a 7 iron, maybe even a putter. The range will let you rent balls (buckets) and just spend time there. Lots of time. Playing on an actual course can be really intimidating and so I’d go to the range a lot, maybe take some basic lessons on swing and check out the millions of videos online. Later... if you can find someone to let you play along, that would be fun. Or even just ride along to observe. But start out hitting balls and see if you like it at all. At driving ranges- you get every ability level. Nothing intimidating at all really.
What I enjoy is that the courses are always nice places to be. So you're guaranteed to have a beautiful landscape for awhile, and that's always better than working.

Thanks! I will definitely give it a try, make it my post-awakening hobby.
