Arizona is a true golfer’s paradise. Home to more than 300 golf courses, all varying in difficulty and magnificent landscapes, there is a course or two (or five) for every kind of player: amateur, professional and those in-between. With stellar golf courses (and not to mention ideal golf weather for most of the year) comes stellar

tournaments — the kind people travel to attend. Take the Waste Management Phoenix Open as one example. Growing up in Scottsdale, Jason Richardson had access to these stellar courses and tournaments right in his backyard. Golf inevitably became a hobby of his.
