Golf

Golf (English word derives from the Dutch Kolf, which means stick) has its origins far enough in time. It seems, in fact, that the Romans of the Roman Empire delights in a game that was held in the country very similar to golf. The first evidence of course is referring to the fourteenth century Scotland, when the first rules were written in 1744 by the Edinburgh Company of Gentlemen Golfers.
Based on the rules drawn up by golfers of Edinburgh, through the association of golfers at St. Andrews in May of 1754 the famous 13 rules of golf, who still form the basis of modern regulations observed in all races, both professional and amateur.
In Italy, more precisely in Rome, the Golf comes only after much time, exactly in 1903 at the circle of Acquasanta, circle that was founded on January 12 of that year the headquarters of the British Consulate in Via Condotti, 20 property ; Prince Torlonia on Via Appia Antica.>
A few years later, in 1907 also open circles Menaggio and Cadenabbia, but must wait until 1927 for the formation of the first Italian Golf Federation (FIG), already the following year expands to 20 clubs, he moved to Rome and joins the Italian National Olympic Committee.
But the sport continues to expand to arrive in 1999 to have 258 clubs. Given this large and rapidly growing golf FIG decides to introduce the National School Golf to standardize and improve methods of teaching.
Today golf is the sport most played in the world with 80 million practitioners in great growth in our country. In fact until a few years ago golf was considered a sport for a few, elite, today it is one of the areas with greatest potential for development. Italy with its abundance of fields is considered by the European Golf Federation golfers of an importing country, which is why you are trying to build a dualism tourism / golf sport that can unite the holiday itself by offering alternatives to families escorts attractive, thereby increasing the growth of tourism in Rome.

And that is now rethinking Roma as tourist pole of attraction not only for its ancient beauty, but also for new sports and leisure facilities that can offer in line with international tourism. Thanks to its strategic geographical position at the center of Meidterraneo, and the Lazio region that fits with its conformation green hills and watered by rivers and streams, to host golf courses, Rome has great development potential in this area and in recipes that call around the golf industry is gradually developing.
