The little brother of a great sporting fun
The sports grounds in Seepark Sellin is called „Citygolf“ and it is true: the green oasis is situated in the middle of its wedding cake style spa architecture. The times in which crazy golf was just the little brother of “big golf” and when everybody was just playing around without sticking to the rules are gone. Crazy golf is a totally different sort of sport with its own rules – but above all with its own fun factors.
Just because it is fun, this does not mean that it is not worth a real competition. In Germany crazy golf is played from local league to 1st national league as a competitive sport. Whoever spends his holidays in Sellin may learn to exercise the healthy sport. Main object of this social sporting event is to put the ball into the hole with as little strokes as possible.
Six strokes are allowed but if the ball did still not find the hole, seven strokes will be noted. It is not enough to master the stroke with both hands to win. Apart from this tricky hazards like a “somersault”, the “net”, the “volcano” or the “lightning” are to overcome. The rules are easily to learn – on a chart at the entrance you may read them.
People of all generations play crazy golf in Sellin on modern felt lanes after the Scandinavian model. And the little quarrel a young couple has whether “it” was in or not in does not mean anything – both of them had a lot of fun with the game, as have staff members at a company spree or guests of a birthday party. For Sellin holiday guests the grounds are a further attraction and a welcome alternative to recreation on the southern beach. Fitness comes with itself, the sporting event offers perfect mixture of concentration and physical exercise.
The crazy golf grounds are opened daily, if you want to play here please rent your strokes and balls at the reception of Seepark Sellin daily from 8.00 to 18.00. |
