Spring came! Birds will soon arrive and dries, the kidneys swell, the snow melts, the grass climbs! And on the grass you can deal with different interesting things. And that immediately "again you", we, for example, about golf. One of the most nasty sports.
Moreover, he was included in the Olympic Sports, so in the summer for flying over the lawns, the whole earth will follow! Editors PICS.RU went to get acquainted with golf in the Moscow Golf Plaza Club. Moreover, there I expected an old friend with a stick, the former author PICS.RU Lyalya Brynza, Now - Golfer and Club Member . The company has amounted to her Dmitry Spire , also a golfer and a member of the club.
PICS.RU: If we talk about how golf is present in Russia, it seems to be impressed, mainly on American films. That is, we know that the lawn needs, you need a ball, you need a stick. It is almost the same as not to know anything. What other common ideas about golf can be encountered?
Lyalya: with stereotypes generated by all the same films, mostly. For example, that golf is for the rich that it is not quite a real sport, so to speak, for lazy, and that they can only be engaged in those countries where grass is greasy almost all year round. In general, in every stereotype there is some truth, otherwise no one believed in him, and yet it is wrong ideas.
PICS.RU: Is Golf really not entertainment for rich? Successful businessmen play in the cinema, he is almost a synonym for a good life.
Lyalya: While you do not go to the level of competitions (and this is absolutely optional, you can simply play in golf for the soul), you can do with lowest costs. Take the most simple club, balls. Play only in the season, it is in our latitudes from April to, for example, the beginning of October, depending on the weather, from what year. In winter, it's quietly to train the ball to the well, when there is one strike. In this case, the golf comes out with rather budget pleasure, it does not require any large spending. Another question is when you want to reach a new level, participate in competitions, show class. Here it begins the same thing with ballroom dancing or any sport. It is already needed good equipment, special sticks, training in winter on a simulator, separate physical training. Then yes, Golf begins to fly into a penny.
PICS.RU: Separate physical training? Some exercises to beat stronger?
Lyalya: First of all, to keep the hand in general the key. Sluts are heavy, try. (Takes one and makes something with it that resembles juggling a cane. The editor is also taken on the key and almost do not drop them. Heavy!) It is necessary to strengthen your hands, especially the left, it is believed that there is a major load. It is necessary to strengthen and stretch the muscles of the back, because a large load and on the back, without additional preparation it can be simply disrupting. And if you are preparing for competitions ...
Dmitry: There you have to four days on your own, without any cinema machines, wearing a bag with sticks. Try it just to raise it. Not easy? And you still have to walk with it.
PICS.RU: And when in Russia is not the season, where and how serious golfers do? Move into warm countries until April?
Lyalya: This option is also possible, but more often use simulators like those worth in our club. You will see them when the competition starts. Of course, not exactly the same thing that go out with the stick in the field, but keep the form help.
PICS.RU: Here is another stereotype, and too from the movies. Golf - for men. It is difficult to remember the film where the golfer appears.
Lyalya: Yes, in this sport a lot of prejudices. And if in a professional golf athlete a lot, then amateur remains something like a male club. They look at the girl condescendingly. If a man beats with ordinary whites ... ti is where the ball is put on ... then a woman is offered to beat with the reds who give her odkers. Recently, a woman decided to play on the general reasons, with whites, also beat everyone. There was a scandal. Wherein From Russia to the Olympics, it is a golfish, Maria Balikoeva . The boys merged, the girl will defend the country's honor. What else can be seen in the female golf - this is, for example, capturing the sticks. See how I hold. Hand, Other, here, here is the fingers of the lock. This is a female grip.
Dmitry: No, this is a common grip. There is a traditional one. He is uncomfortable, nobody uses them. Some players hold the club as a bit, but it is to demonstrate their physical strength. Normal, the usual player keeps the stick as Lyalya.
PICS.RU: So, in amateur sports, a woman is a phenomenon?
Lyalya: I would like to break it, but so far exactly so. In a golf, a woman comes at the same time with a man and is always afraid that she does not work out. "I'm a girl." And the man choir: "Yes, you're a girl." Beggrel silent that in a professional golf, such girls put records and boil men for the belt. By the way, due to the cultivated and declared approach, "Golf is a mini golf appeared. At first it was kind of like an Light version for women who stand, look like their husbands play golf, and they are bored. Invented to make a toy field, decorated it with everyone that was found, gnome gardeners and other things ... and suddenly such an interesting thing was released that mini golf was widely and separate popularity.
PICS.RU: If golf we now have an Olympic sport ...
Lyalya: again. He was already, then removed him from the program.
PICS.RU: If golf is now now the Olympic sport, then the Olympic reserves will grow? How is it at all possible? It is hard to imagine!
Lyalya: You can say, he is preparing since 2012. The "Association of Golf Russia" with the consent and support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia actively helps to introduce golf as a sport in schools. The Association Instructors go along with equipment to schools, communicate with physical education teachers and children, show how to play golf, how to train. The project is called "School Golf", it is planned to drag half a million Russian schoolchildren by 2020, create hundreds of school golf clubs, organize acquaintance with golf on ordinary physical education.
PICS.ru: What are the golf golf golfers? How much are they doing a simple mortal?
Lyalya: the one whom we now stand - to work out shots, for example. These are where we put the ball. You can stand on the stand without. Here is the club, in the direction of the mesh beat. I won't get great pleasure from him, but at least something.
Dmitry: There is away there, similar to a small piece of field with a hole - to work out the last blow, when the ball is already near the hole and it should be carefully driven. Try, there is another key, easier. It is already important not power, but accuracy, accuracy. Although accuracy and when hitting the start does not hurt.
Lyalya: And now we can go to the competition. They are in the room, out there ...
PICS.RU: In the room?! Competitions for the Cup?!
Lyalya: Yes, and for this you need a very good simulator. Our club is the business project of the Koreans, the simulator is also Korean. Before the player on a special screen show a copy of the present golf course, you can choose which one. Look, the player puts the ball on Ti, preparing to strike, beats ... The ball is hidden into a soft screen, a special program expects wherever it flies with such a strike and trajectory in real life and, see, displays the movement of the ball on the field on the screen. This simulator is a very good simulator. With him, the player can live in our latitudes. Well, you won't put this house, except that you can highlight a separate room for it. And in general, for a private person it is not noone. Becoming a member of the club is economical.
PICS.RU: In this place you, of course, invite everyone to golf plaza?
Lyalya: Yes, I invite you. I want to create a women's team here and show everything!
