Founded by 25-year-old Texan Joe Shields, the Sunday Golf Tour is designed to offer a pleasant contrast to [traditional golf tournaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/professional-golfers) in that it is affordable, fast-paced and welcoming to newcomers. A round of golf including a cart and [drink tickets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transfusion-5hour-energy) costs only $68. Entry fees are guaranteed to be be lower than traditional weekend rates, and users are given every chance to enjoy the playing time and playing partners of their preference.
