The king of sports in Bolivia is obviously football (or soccer),
however, the special situation of the country offers the activity of some
unusual disciplines.
This is the case with Golf; effectively the country with high
lands has several golf courses in perfect conditions.
The origin of golf in Bolivia is linked with the railway company
called “Bolivian Railroad Company” that, thanks to the development of railway
lines, attracted from the headquarters located in England engineers and
managers who founded the first club in La Paz in 1912.
The cultural specificities of the country are also present on
the course, for example, you could see women that are in charge of the course
trying to play golf with traditional “Cholitas” clothes. It is in the city of
all superlatives, La Paz, that is present the highest golf course of the world
(about 3700 meters), that just has been recommended by the “Golf Diggest”.
Most of players say that the ball flies better
thanks to the lack of oxygen due to the altitude.
You also could try golf courses located in the Western Bolivia,
into the warm and exuberant tropical vegetation. If this experience tempts you, do not hesitate to let us know.
