Jimmy Bullard, former Wigan Athletic, Fulham, and Hull City midfielder, is hoping to qualify for The Open later this year. A scratch golfer, Bullard is set to compete in a pro golf tournament next month as part of his preparation for The Open qualifying.<\/p>\n
Following a football career that included a call-up to Fabio Capello’s England squad, Bullard transitioned to TV and internet fame after retiring in 2012 due to injury issues. He now appears regularly on YouTube as part of the TUBES & ANGE GOLF LIFE channel. With a strong following from his football career, Bullard aims to qualify for The Open with a 0 handicap. The Clutch Pro Tour Instagram account announced Bullard’s participation in their pro event at Tandridge on May 16th as part of his “Quest for the Open.”<\/p>\n
Bullard previously attempted to qualify for The Open in 2013, falling short with a +6 round of 78. Now, with his prior experience of competing at the third tier of professional golf on the PGA EuroPro Tour, Bullard hopes for a different outcome this time. On the Golf Life YouTube channel, Bullard discussed the challenges of becoming a touring pro in the golf world, expressing his belief that he could compete at the EuroPro level. However, he recognizes the difficulty in making a living from it and the level of dedication required.<\/p>\n
Despite the challenges, Bullard is determined to compete and make an impact in the world of golf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
