Bicycle Golf- The New Way to Hit the Course?

With many people trying to think up ways to encourage new golfers and former golfers to get onto the course we bring you the latest trend currently being tested in America- bicycle golf.

As the name suggests, the Kierland Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona is encouraging its members to enjoy a round using one of their specially designed bicycles to navigate the course.

Westin Kierland Resort & Spa Director of Golf Nancy Dickens told a local news station, “It's fabulous, a great way to get a workout.”  Adding, “Why sit on a stationary bike at the gym?”

The club is offering the option for free at the moment to golfers willing to give it a try.  The bikes have been specifically created to minimise the effects on the course and are fitted with custom golf bags on both sides of the back.

Dickens believes the new mode of transportation will definitely catch on, citing it can help you to play nine holes in an hour!
