Urban Golf: Jab Fairway Ki Jagah Sadkein Ban Jaayein Course – Ek Funky Aur Free-Spirited Naya Golf Culture.
Sochiye, agar aap golf khel rahe ho lekin lush green golf course par nahi, balki sheher ke beech galiyon, rooftops, aur parking lots mein ho. Na koi fancy club, na koi dress code – sirf aap, ek modified golf ball, aur urban jungle. Yehi hai Urban Golf – ek street-style, unconventional aur thoda rebellious version of traditional golf, jo aaj ke naye urban sports culture mein fast popular ho raha hai.
Yeh sport traditional boundaries todta hai, aur freedom, creativity aur accessibility ko celebrate karta hai.
Urban Golf Kya Hai?
Urban Golf ek alternative form of golf hai jo urban spaces mein khela jaata hai – jaise:
- City streets
- Parking lots
- Rooftops
- Abandoned buildings
- Parks aur even construction zones
Players traditional golf clubs ka use karte hain, lekin ball thodi soft aur safe hoti hai (jise “almost golf ball” ya foam ball kehte hain), taake koi damage na ho.
Urban Golf Ki Shuruaat
Urban Golf ka origin 1990s Europe se mana jaata hai – khaaskar Germany aur UK, jahan kuch golfers ne golf course ke high cost aur exclusivity ke khilaf protest karte hue street golf ki shuruaat ki.
Phir yeh ek urban subculture ban gaya – jisme performance aur place dono mein freedom aur fun aaya.
Urban Golf Kaise Khela Jaata Hai?
🔹 Format:
- 2 ya zyada players
- Har round mein ek “hole” define kiya jaata hai – jaise koi dustbin, tree, signboard, ya painted target
- Har player ko kam se kam strokes mein us target tak pahuchna hota hai
🔹 Equipment:
- Standard or modified golf clubs
- Foam or rubber golf ball (safe for street play)
- Chalk ya cones (target mark karne ke liye)
🔹 Rules:
- Har target location unique hota hai
- Players ko obstacles ke around ya through ball maarni hoti hai
- Sabse kam shots wala jeet-ta hai
Note: Real cars, pedestrians aur public property ka dhyan rakhna padta hai – safety aur ethics zaroori hai.
