It is as true in golf as it is in football, cricket and rugby – you will never quite understand the atmosphere or excitement of the sport at its highest level until you experience it live. There are plenty of reasons for this, ranging from being a part of the crowd to seeing how golf’s superstars play the game at an entirely different level. And although television coverage of golf’s great championships is comprehensive, it can never match the thrill and atmosphere of actually being there.
This is Ryder Cup year, one of the most eagerly anticipated events in golf and one that generates more electricity in the galleries than any other. This September it is at Whistling Straits on Lake Michigan, a spectacular course that must be seen to be believed. Make sure to stay in downtown Milwaukee, brewing capital of the USA, and head to one of Golfbreaks’ hosted Fan Rallies for the ultimate Ryder Cup experience!
Attending the Ryder Cup is on most golfers’ bucket lists and would be a dream come true for most. As one of the tournament’s official partners, Golfbreaks can make this happen.
