Not Sure but A golf-like game is recorded as taking place on 26 February 1297, in the Netherlands, in a city called Loenen aan de Vecht, where the Dutch played a game with a stick and leather ball. The winner was whoever hit the ball the most number of times into a target several hundreds of meters away. Some scholars argue that this game of putting a small ball in a hole in the ground using golf clubs was also played in 17th-century Netherlands and that this predates the game in Scotland. There are also other reports of earlier accounts of a golf-like game from Continental Europe!!!
If you've been a golfer for quite some time now,like Stefan has ... now he is looking back and remembering just how frustrating it was working on that swing and simply playing good, but it's worth it ....as you can see he is enjoying the game as much as possible!
He said to me once .... Don't think of golf as an obstacle, but a challenge. Stefan loves golf mainly because it is challenging. ...... it looks like he has done a Perfict Swing !!!
All it takes is some practice, and more practice! Hear that Jasna .... Keep going !!!!If you get frustrated and discouraged easily, you may easily quit the sport that many others are truly enjoying.
Golf to many is a great way to relax, spend the weekend and enjoy nature. Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be as much as four kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more. Playing golf regularly can help you:
Stay fit -Improve muscle tone and endurance -Lose weight and body fat.
Some equipment you'll need for gold include golf clubs, a bag designed to carry golf clubs, a set of golf balls, and a proper attire for golf. You may ask for some assistance at the shop when it comes to choosing the types of golf clubs and golf balls you might need. A good golf attire would be something light and comfortable, like a shirt or blouse that allows more movement for you to swing comfortably. Shoes should have soft spikes underneath and comfortable.
And of course, sunscreen and a cap or hat are advisable, as you will be out under the sun probably the whole day!!!!!!
