New service in Albena: Beach golf
From Sunday, June 15, 2014 in Albena resort begin weekly BEACH GOLF classes. They are organized for the first time in the free area on the beach in front of the hotels Gergana and Kaliakra. The classes are open for guests of the resorts, as well as for any other visitor who would like to take part in the game.
In May and in the beginning of June there already have been two beach golf tournaments organized in which participated more than 35 students from Bulgaria, Turkey, Nigeria and India, as well as representatives from different schools in Varna and Dobrich.
Beach golf is a sport born 20 years ago in Italy and widely played on the Mediterranean beaches. The rules of the game are like those of the classic golf. The goal is to hit the ball in the last hole, using the fewest number of strokes. Competing players are divided into teams, with two players in each and there are between 9 and 18 holes at a distance that can reach up to 2 km. Players play with a soft rubber ball and classic clubs. Animators ensure the safety of players, moving behind each player with wide safety belts, in order to protect the audience and the players themselves from injuries during a stroke. The wide beach strip of Albena offers excellent conditions for this kind of sport.
