Golf in Norway - Nice Landscape!

in backpacking •  8 years ago  (edited)

Hey guys, Golf and Norway? Did you know that, golf is the third most popular sport in Norway after skiing and football? I tried to hit some golf balls. Ørjan from Norway showed me how to manage it :D Circa 122 000 of the five million inhabitants of Norway are registered in a golf club! And there are circa 190 golf courses in the Country. Most of them are in the Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim area.

You can play from the middle of May til Oktober, even golf around the clock is possible. Amazing midnight sun let you play "golf around the clock! During these periods it is not getting dark. I love this time <3 <3 I hate the darkness :P But in wintertime there are areas with no light at all, just 2 - 3 hours it can be a bit light outside. Norwegians are calling this time "mørketid" - translated "dark-time". But it is not that bad, Norwegians like to have it cozy together, the house is full of candles and friends are sitting together and playing board games eating Taco on Friday (Taco-Fredag). This time they call also kosetid (cozy time). And by the way, I love their language <3

This is my first time that I hit a golf ball :D If you want to play golf, you need a membership card. Golf is possible in Norway but also without such an ID card. The daily charge is usually 250 to 500 Norwegian crowns, which is about 28 to 56 euros.
