C'est l'été, le soleil, les vacances et ... le golf

Hi !

Golf is like when I was working for Christian Dior, 
I feel like "posh" or "snob", but the thing is : 
I am not.
I just started golf when I was 30 years old, 
bachelor, working @Dior, 
and I decided to go to "Iles Caraîbes" with U.C.P.A.

UCPA (Union des Centres Sportifs de Plein Air) is a non-profit French organization that makes outdoor sports holidays available for people of ages 7–39. Formed in 1965, it is a union of government bodiessports federations and youth associations. About 250,000 people travel with UCPA annually.
UCPA has three areas of operation:
  • sports holidays
  • recreation sports outreach
  • vocational training for careers in sport
UCPA is mainly located in France, but is also present in some fifty countries around the world.


I first registered,
 to do some kite-surf but once arrived, 
I told them I was not a good swimmer at all. 
So I swap with another girl and decided to go for golf instead. 
I ... just.... loved it. 
I knew nothing about golf. 
I, even put, my club in the opposite side to play !!! 
But, I played full day for 2 weeks there and came back, bought 
a set of clubs, a car (Mini Rover) to play around Paris every W.E. 
I was in love with golf...
And ... 
I met my husband through golf as well !
Very funny. 
Anyway, life went on, with 3 children, and we put golf on side for few years.
But, since our  last "piou-piou" is 10 years, we started to play again.
And I have to play more, and more, 
to have fun when I play
 and trust me, it is not
that easy. 
But I still like it and try to follow my boys 
to share that nice sport.
It is a very pleasant environment, but also a good way to learn 
the patience, and how to control yourself. 



Lost ball already ? Bad luck .

We are pleased as we found 
a nice family Golf Course nearby.
And we can enjoy more.

Golf is also about spending time
with your children, friends, colleagues,etc... 
in a peaceful environment. It is very refreshing. 
You do not need to have the exact same level. That is important too. 
To play 9 holes, you are doing exercise for 1h 30 / 2h and 4 hours for 18 holes.
So... if you have the opportunity to play during holidays
Just have a go, 
You can love it !
Have a nice summer !
