GolfIt’s no exaggeration to say that Skåne is a golfer’s paradise. The photo in top of this site is take at Vikens golf course where the king of Sweden played already 100 years ago. Not far from Viken you will find Mölle Golf Club founded in 1943, is considered to be one of the finest golf courses in Sweden, well-known for the excellent greens. Imagine an early morning sun just you and your friends and a magnificent view. West you will have glimpse of Denmark across the sound, east you will see the island Hallands Väderö just south of the mainland of the Bjäre peninsula. Read an article in the New York Times to find out more about this area of Skåne.

Famous Golf Architect for Skåne

Sunday, March 5th, 2006

With the purpose to attracting future tournament play (and to offer members a longer, more challenging test), the Vasatorp golfclub has retained Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates to remake the full-length nine-hole loop and add nine more holes to create what is essentially a brand new, championship 18 here in Helsingborg.

Vasatorp Golfklubb, whose original 18 was completed in 1974, played host to the European PGA Tour’s Scandinavian Enterprise Open (later becoming the Scandinavian Masters) from 1978 to 1981, when Sweden was just emerging as a European golf land.

Having produced champions such as Seve Ballesteros, Greg Norman and Sandy Lyle, the Scandinavian Enterprise Open and Vasatorp are generally credited with establishing golf in Sweden as a spectator sport.

The new renovated course will be open in spring 2008.

Golf for life

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

Professor Bengt Saltin, Univeristy of Copenhagen, Muscle Research Centre, has in his new book given us scientific facts. The conclusion is that all test connecting to health will be better if you play golf. So now we have a real authority to back up our arguments for playing golf as often as possible. Since the sport activates all ages we suggest that golf will be a part of the national health programme.
