Swiss Town Creates Urban Golf Course
The Swiss town of Fribourg decided to create an urban golf course to allow locals and tourists enjoy a unique experience, tourist officials say.
Fribourg Tourism head Nicolas Zapf said the idea initially came from a business intern and has proven to be a fun golf experience for various groups, Swissinfo.com said Friday.
I think it’s a course and a sport suitable for everyone — families, work outings, groups of friends, Zapf said.
The tourism official has warned those hoping to use the urban course to emulate U.S. golf star Tiger Woods will likely be disappointed.
If people want to come and improve their handicap this isn’t the way. It’s really just a game, to have fun, discover the town, he told Swissinfo.com.
The Web site said the risk posed by the course to residents in the town is minimal, despite each hole being located in pedestrian areas of Fribourg.

Minimal? They might injure some people, break windows, etc. But yea, i guess an urban golf course is fun.

I think this is a good exercise for relaxation but you have to make sure the safety first.

It sounds like fun. I wonder if the idea will catch on in other areas. Although safety does sound like it’d be an issue, even if they say it’d be minimal risk.
