The
game of golf is thought to have originated in
the 15th century on the rolling grassy moorlands
of Scotland, but today it has become popular all
over the world, not only for the enjoyment of
actual play, but as a source of exercise, socialising,
and prestige. When to this is added its environmentally
friendly character, golf might aptly be described
as a green way of life. In recent years, golf
has also become a tourism sector in its own right.
Can any other sport lay claim to such a diversity
of qualities?
The tranquil green landscape of a golf course
stretching out beneath a blue sky, with small
lakes filled with fish and clumps of trees is
like a scene out of paradise created by human
hand. After the tense and stressful bustle of
the day, a game of golf is the perfect way to
wind down. Chatting to spouse and friends as you
wander across the grass, the harmonious sound
of birds singing in the background, and glimpses
of squirrels amongst the trees are a pleasure
in itself. |
