The very first written mention of golf, which is considered the beginning of the official history of the game, refers to 1457. It was then that King James banned the game of golf, because for her his soldiers neglected primary responsibility - training in archery. The ban was expressed in the resolution of the Scottish Parliament.

Playing golf - this is a whole separate culture that cherishes many traditions, stories and legends. So, the first woman - golfer considered Scottish queen Mary Stuart. The title of the oldest golf club challenge each other "Gentleman Golferz" (now "Onorabl Kampani of-Edinburgh Golferz") formed in March 1744, and "The Royal Burgess Golfing Segayiti" of Edinburgh, which is considered the date of its founding in 1735.

In 1870, Sir David Mankreyf made a bet with John White eksvayrom-Mel-wine that one of them, who live longer, should give the golf club St. Andrew silver stick, which will be recorded the terms of the wager. 13 years later the club was presented to the club by Mr. White, Melvin. In the same year he was elected president of the club, but has not had time to begin his duties, he went away to the other world. His portrait adorns one of the smoking rooms of the club.

In XX century golf even reached the moon! In February 1971, Alan Shepard, the captain of the spacecraft "Apollo-14", made two hits in two balls. In 1974, the putter, which Alan enjoyed when playing in space, was donated to a museum.

An introduction to golf is much more than just a passion for a new sport - rather, it is a very special introduction to the culture: a rich tradition, aesthetic, aristocratic and multifaceted. (From the series: "An alternative guide to Britain") in a fine Sunday afternoon you can meet a large number of excited mood pensioners, women and children in British golf club ... - yes, golf in Britain played everything from small to large and without distinction as to gender.
 
What is the secret of such popularity of this sport? Chances are that many Britons are looking at golf not as a sport and as entertainment. Starting to play golf is never too late. And who of us in childhood did not want to run around on the grass and roll the ball? And do we not want to fill cvoyu life with new colors? So you've decided. Start with a walk through the exploration and the nearest golf club. All golf clubs are different, that is, private, municipal and club members only, which on certain days may be open to all. They are separated and course types.
 
In addition to regular courses, which we very rarely, but it's still on TV (we are talking about the channels "Eurosport" and "Eurosport-2", there is also mini-golf, crazy golf (or adventure golf) and putting-golf. Putting golf - the easiest one club. with him we should start to anyone who is going to get out in the big field. Mini golf and crazy golf - child's play. Like the "Disneyland" with attractions, pirates, dinosaurs and more. These types of golf most and suitable for families hit procedure in the field is simple:... buy a ticket - and more cost of the ticket depends on the club's location, field size, and also on the day of the week, ranging from two to fifty pounds, but do not be upset: in Japan, for example. the minimum price of a ticket - $ 100 Japanese and accidents are going to England specifically to play golf.!
 
In Ukraine and that trenchant: only two golf club and members only. And membership can afford a millionaire. And we have here - a huge selection. If you do not have the necessary prichindalov, do not hesitate. When the clubs there are shops where you can buy everything from golf podshtanikov and ending avtomobilchikom for movement on the golf courses. If desired, perhaps, can be ordered and a helicopter.
 

   My winter holidays were very busy. At first my family and I went to the country to visit my grandparents and to celebrate New Year. I like to go there because there is a beautiful forest and a small river not far from my granny's house. My sister and I went to skate and to ski. It was great.

      And on the 3d of January we went to Kiev by our car. My mother's sister Ann lives in this city and sometimes we visit her. I was very happy to see my aunt and uncle and to play with my little niece.

      I like my winter holidays very much.

 

Мои зимние каникулы были очень насыщенными. Сначала моя семья и я ездили в деревню, навестить моих бабушку и дедушку, чтобы отпраздновать Новый год. Я люблю ездить туда, потому что там есть красивый лес и маленькая речка недалеко от дома моей бабушки. Моя сестра и я ходили кататься на коньках и на лыжах. Это было здорово.
       А 3 января мы отправились в Киев на нашей машине. Сестра моей мамы Анна  живет в этом городе, и иногда мы навещаем ее. Я была очень рада видеть мою тетю и дядю и играть с моей маленькой племянницей.
       Мне очень понравились мои зимние каникулы.
