Eco-Friendly Sports ( Urban street Golf & Bike ridding )
Golf originated from a game played on the eastern coast of Scotland, in an area close to the royal capital of Edinburgh. The popularity of the game quickly spread throughout 16th century Europe thanks to this royal endorsement. King Charles I brought the game to England and Mary Queen of Scots introduced the game to France when she studied there; the term 'caddie' derives from the name for her French military aides, known as cadets.
From Golf courses to STREET GOLF!
City life keeps changing and one exciting new trend is Street Golf. It's a unique mix of the classic game of golf and urban living. No longer just played on well-kept greens in the countryside, it's now also happening among city buildings and streets.
The usual golf course is swapped for city landmarks. Manholes become hazards, fences act as boundaries, park benches turn into tees, and a painted circle on a brick wall can serve as a hole. This article will explore how golf has moved from quiet green fields to the busy city streets, turning every swing into a bold move and every hole into a new journey.
