\nVier jaar geleden speelden we in Rotterdam regelmatig met een klein clubje internet-namen urban golf<\/i>, een in 1992 in Duitsland ontstane volkssport die het elitaire golf terug wilde brengen naar de plek waar het ooit, in het Nederlandse Loenen, is uitgevonden: de straat, of in ieder geval de stad.
\nOp de site<\/a> van fotograaf Thomas Schlijper – die ik trouw iedere dag bezoek – is te zien dat het fenomeen nu ook in Amsterdam is doorgedrongen en van mede-urban golfer Corrie<\/a> begrijp ik dat het spel zelfs op AT5 te zien was. Terecht want urban golf is een van de prettigste sporten die ik ken.
\nHet wordt vast een hit deze zomer.<\/p>\n

Hier een uitleg<\/a> voor wie zin krijgt. En hier de site van de Duitse club waar het allemaal mee begon: Natural Born Golfers<\/a>.
\nWel oppassen met die keiharde ballen want urban golf is niet voor niets een van de oudste verboden<\/a> sporten: The earliest evidence of a game we can definitely recognize as golf appears in 1296, when documents begin referring to something called Spelmeten Kolven in the village of Loenen, Holland, where the game seems to have originated. It spread to at least 40 other townships in short order. The game grew popular enough that laws were passed to prohibit people from golfing in the streets.”
\nZelfs in het vrije Amerika mocht het niet: “The Dutch brought clubs and balls to Fort Orange (now Albany), New York, as early as 1657. By 1659, another ordinance had to be passed banning the game from the streets.”<\/p>\n
