To all the golfers! I am a golf nut, who have been lucky enough to play on some great (grass) courses, so have a number of questions about what golf is like in KSA.
What is it like to play golf on sand, and how does it work? I understand that you take a piece of artificial turf with you (where do you get one?), but how does that work with putting?
How many holes is the course, and how long is it (is it just a pitch and putt)?
Are there any facilities for buying the 'turf', golf balls etc.?
I normally walk round carrying my bag here - it's the only exercise I get! - but is it too hot to do that over there?
Do buggies/trollies even work on the sand?
Are you limited to times/days you can play, or eg is it seasonal due to bad weather (heat/dust etc.)?
Is there a driving range/professional lessons (for me or for kids)? Or are these only available in DHA?
How hard is it to get to the course in DHA (presumably the drive is the same as for the commute to work), and is it always busy there? Do you have to play in 4-balls? How long does it take to get round?
I take it that there are no water hazards, at least...
If you have read this far, then thanks! You must be a golf nut too. :lol:
