Who thinks that playing Golf is boring? Me for instance....until I tried this afternoon!!
I made up a kind of typical uniform picking out something from my closet and I was ready to challenge this new sport and, above all, the burning sun, the 44° degrees and the strong wind...
I didn't know how it could be possible to grow such a wide playground of real grass in a desert area like that, but it was true and I couldn't believe my eyes: I was surrounded by hectars of real green lawn!!
So, the outift was pretty good, except for the fact that I definitely needed a cap to prevent my head from burning up...Then, I found a little cap passing by the Golf Shop and I bought it immediately. It was white (perfect to block the heat), with a peak and a little black logo on the front; a T. and a W. crossed together in a square.... mmmmm....Oooops, I had just bought the TIGER WOODS' collection cap!!! Now I had a responsability: I couldn't making ass of myself while wearing the name of the Golf World Champion!!!! Shame that I never held a club and I hardly knew the difference between drivers and fairway woods or irons and putters....but basically, what I was really interested in, was just enjoying it and so I did.
Morale: non c'ho capito una "mazza" (ah-ah) di come funziona...ma mi sono davvero divertita. Da rifare!! :-D
ABOUT DOHA GOLF CLUB
Doha Golf Club boasts an 18 hole Championship Course, a 9 hole Academy Course, an enourmous driving range and putting green, 8 artificial lakes, graceful landscaping and a beautiful clubhouse designed in old traditional Arabic style, which has been located at one of the highest points on the course giving it a magnificent prominence.
The Championship Course is a tough course from the back tees and offers many strategic and heroic holes where the scratch golfer can test his skills. The course has been designed with two starting and finishing holes which maximises playing flexibility and the number of daily rounds. The unusual 150 hectare site has been enhanced by emphasizing the natural attributes and features. We have created lakes which will double as obstacles and aesthetic features. We have planted about 5000 shrubs, 6000 trees, 10 000 cacti imported from Arizona which will emphasize the nature of the rugged surroundings.
The Academy Course is less demanding and can be played by beginners, ladies and those who want to play a quick nine holes. The fairways are larger, the holes are shorter with less hazards and generally the course will allow the not-so proficient golfer to enjoy the game and the good golfer will have the opportunity to have an enjoyable round during a short break from the office.
Whatever open-hearth.
