Alright, so I needed to figure out where and when this year’s John Deere Classic golf thingy was happening. Pretty basic info, right? But you know how it is, sometimes even the simple stuff takes a bit of digging, and I just scribble down whatever happens along the way.
Starting My Search
I just fired up the browser on my laptop. Went straight to my usual search engine, nothing fancy. Typed in “John Deere Classic 2024 dates and location.” Hit enter.
Boom, immediate results. But honestly? Too many. First page had official golf sites, some news articles, event listing pages… Felt kinda overwhelmed.
- First Mistake: I clicked on a fancy-looking link promising “official details.” Turned out it was an ad for some travel package. Ugh.
- Second Try: Scrolled down, spotted the PGA Tour website listing. That seemed legit. Clicked it.
Getting Concrete Info
Loaded up the PGA Tour event page. The page design screamed “professional golf,” so I figured this was the real deal. Scanned down the page looking for the essentials:
- Where is it? Big font usually shouts the place. Sure enough, right near the top: TPC Deere Run. Silvis, Illinois. Got it.
- When is it? Needed the actual week. Scrolled a bit more, past player lists and ticket ads. Found the date block. Clear as day: Scheduled for July 4-7, 2024. That’s Thursday through Sunday. Nice, nailed it.
Double-checked because, well, you gotta. Looked for any “important notice” banners about date changes. Didn’t see anything screaming at me. Seems stable for this year.
Why I Even Bothered
Listen, I got a buddy coming to town that week. Big golf fan. Mentioned something about maybe trying to catch a pro tournament if timing worked. So yeah, I needed the exact dates and location.
Could I have asked him? Sure. But where’s the fun in that? Plus, finding stuff myself means I learn something new. Like, I never actually knew where Silvis, Illinois even was before today. Had to pull up a map for that little factoid.
Finally Wrapping Up
So, the whole process? Mostly straightforward once I stopped clicking on travel deals masquerading as info sites. It boils down to this:
- Where: TPC Deere Run, Silvis, Illinois. Seriously, Illinois. Who knew? Not me yesterday.
- When: Thursday, July 4th, right through ’til Sunday, July 7th, 2024.
Basic info. Found it. Done. Now I can tell my buddy the when and where without sounding like a complete idiot. Might even go with him if the weather’s decent.
