Ever heard of playing golf in the sand ? The Sand hazard is every golfers nightmare, but not in this new sport. Beach golf takes the traditional game of golf from the lush greens to the sandy beaches of the seaside. Although along with the game so do the mechanics change. The game uses a redesigned golf club made specially for the sport. The light weight club is almost hollow except for a mesh screen on which the ball impacts. The club designed by Adrien Norihomme has a head that can rotate from 12º to 64º so you don't have to lug all your clubs around with you. Golf enthusiasts may no longer crib going to the seaside with their families on their weekends, away from the greens.
