I was over in Poland for a week last summer !
While over there I failed to notice any golf courses
not only that I never noticed any golf equipment in
any sports shops !
Why is this?
Is the game not played over there !
To my knowledge there are not too many golfers from
Poland on the professional circuit !

Anyone got any answers to this !
Or is Golf just a game that has never taken off over there ?

We prefer more active sports


Soccer, boxing (not too popular, bit it's big) hockey, racing, etc.

First Warsaw Golf & Country Club was OK. Three years ago there were about 8-10 course only in Poland. It's expensive for the locals to play but that should change.

The golf courses I have seen so far and the golfers who play are both horrid. They have one part down though! The drinking! I'm suprised it's not as popular in Poland. In the states it's a Great drinking game

Mark Twain was wrong. It's not a good walk spoiled it's a good walk oiled

It was similar over here until about 20 years ago but it became more accessible to more people !
Do you think now would be the ideal time to inject some interest in the game ?
I had the idea of starting a golf driving range over there to try and create more interest in the game for more people ! It is really a good and sometimes frustrating game to play !!!

A few people have tried it already. I remember there was an indoor range in Warsaw that lasted about 6 months. I think the game will take off more when disposable incomes increase. And correction it's always a frustrating game

Yep, I'm waiting until BW and Giles have just built a new development then I'm going to hire Ola123 to knock it down and build a new course

Farming will take a dive in Poland too like it did in England 20 years ago !
My advice to Polish farmers would be to diversify now before it is
TOO LATE !
I know a number of farmers who did this ! AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN AS WEALTHY
Dont be sentimental in business !
People get swallowed up if they are too slow to act !
They said England was a country of farmers but now look we even
import a percentage of our milk !
