Earlier, the President of Turkmenistan met with the famous golfer Jack Nicklaus, the head and founder of the firm "Nicklaus Design". The issues about the future partnership in the sphere of the formation and popularization of golf in Turkmenistan were discussed during the meeting. As the head of "Nicklaus Design" assured, the company will undertake to conduct first-class international golf tournaments in Turkmenistan, and will also build ten professional golf courses in different parts of the country.
According to historians, the features of golf origin can be observed on the territory of Scotland, where in the middle of the 14th century shepherds in endless fields put down stones into rabbit holes with the help of crook. Since that time, golf has changed a lot and turned into the most popular sport on the planet.
Golf has a large positive impact on the health - it develops flexibility, coordination and endurance, but it also strengthens family ties and values, as it requires the active participation of all family members, thereby making them more united. In addition, golf is the ability to own and control your emotions, qualities that are necessary for every person for personal growth.
Thus, the appearance of golf courses in our country will help to improve not only the health of sports fans, but will also give them harmony.
