Taking Up Golf

Regular readers would know that I have a long time German pen-pal whom I have corresponded with for 17 long years. Even though we hardly write to each other now, we still keep in touch on various celebrations, festivities and other personal occasions like birthday, New Year, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.

With each passing year, I am surprised to see how our lives have changed. We have seen each other through our studies, graduation, job interviews, family births and deaths and many more.

My pen-pal, Mark, told me recently that he has taken up Golf sport. Well, he's an architect now and a professional like him has to socialize with clients. Mark told me that golf is a very popular game and he felt that he has picked up the game too late because his colleagues have really low handicap and he finds it difficult to keep up with their pace, even though some of them just passed their Golf Platzreife test.

I was told that there is a very famous golf club in Chiemsee in Bavaria, near where Mark works and it offers everything that a golfer needs. Mark feels that he shouldn't be playing there yet until he has improved on his game. I am sure that he could take up golf lessons if he really wanted to improve on his game quickly and then he could go for a swing at Golfclub Gut Ising. Check out images of the course on the site. The view is so breathtaking.

If you are in Germany and shopping for golf equipment and accessories, they also have the largest golf retail store, carrying all major brand names so that you will have a large selection of quality golf equipment and accessories to choose from. Because of their volume, you can be sure that prices here are most competitive. And the good thing is that delivery is fast because they have ready stock.

I used to think that golf is a pretty boring sport to play but seeing how Mark could be so enthusiastic over it, I too would like to try it out myself someday.
