Golf at the end of the tunnel

Context and background

Golf has a rich history, and playing on links courses is an essential part of traditional golf culture. These courses, often located along the coasts of England and Scotland, offer not only beautiful views but also unique challenges. The weather can be unpredictable, with strong winds and rain, making the game even tougher. The Open Championship, the oldest golf tournament, often takes place on these iconic courses and attracts both professionals and amateurs.

In recent years, golf courses around the world have faced the repercussions of the pandemic. Tournaments have been canceled, and golfers have had to rediscover their love for the game.
