Golf Clubs � History and the Welsh

Over in the British Isles, St Andrews in Scotland is renowned for its place in golf history � but the golf clubs in Wales are just as fascinating.

Golf clubs with history

When you put the words �history' and �golf clubs' together you'd be forgiven for thinking of St Andrews in Scotland � widely considered to be the �home of golf'.

However another Celtic land � Wales - lays claim to a proud history and tradition of the game, which, if you visit its many golf clubs you will see still endures.

International acclaim

As well as over 150 golf clubs and courses, some which have hosted international championships, one of the greatest players in history was Welshman Dai Rees and in more recent times the country has given us the Masters Winner, Ian Woosnam.

The notable golf clubs that have witnessed history in the making include St Pierre , which hosted the 1996 Solheim Cup. And one of the most prestigious golf clubs is Celtic Maonor, a golf club and hotel which has been selected for the 2010 Ryder Cup.

Hive of golfing activity

As well as having a rich history, Welsh golf clubs are hives of activity with amateur and professional championships being held year-round throughout the country, pretty impressive for a land that is just 160 miles long.

Proud people

Like Scotland and Ireland , this Celtic nation is one of the most ancient in the world, its history dates back thousands of years. It is clear its golf clubs are central to that history and that the Welsh are proud and patriotic people. Although English is widely spoken, Welsh is proudly kept alive as a living language and celebrated by the Eisteddfodau festivals. History breathes through the abundance of castles; add to that the dramatic landscape, swinging your golf clubs in Wales is an experience that gives Scotland a run for its money.

 Celtic culture

Wales has a lot more to offer than its golf clubs � as well as the history, rolling moors, snow-capped mountains and rugged coastlines; Wales is a beacon of culture. From the poetry of Dylan Thomas, romantic voice of Richard Burton right to the present day stars Tom Jones and Charlotte Church � the country continues to be a vibrant and inspirational country.

Hip City

Even the once gloomy city of Cardiff has turned into a cosmopolitan and vibrant city � Wales is now on the map not just for its mining history and its golf clubs � but now a new television spin-off series from Britain's cult TV show, Dr Who, is turning it into a hip place to visit.
