NIPPON PARKGOLF ASSOCIATION

The courses of park golf are made using trees, moderately undulating parks, riverbeds and idle lands. Agrochemicals are not used for the lawn maintenance as much as possible. By removing signs and cups of halls, they can be returned to the original park at any time.

The course is played in half, 9 holes (par 33) and 1 round, 18 holes (par 66). Par is the average number of strokes

The distance of 1 hole is set within 100 m, and par 3 to par 5 are set. Inner diameter of the hole should be 20 cm to 21.6 cm. Pin (Flagstick) placed in the center of the hole.

The reason why the distance of one hole is set to 100 m or less is to prevent the risk of excessive hitting a ball too far and minimize the handicap (disadvantage condition) due to age, gender difference. Even though it is difficult for most people to approach a distance of 100 meters with a single stroke, but possible to do it with two strokes. That is why it is popular as three generations (multi generations) sport that amongst many people regardless of age or gender can enjoy the game together. Playing such a sport beyond generations, the sound of dropping a ball in the cup is more fresh and refreshing.
