How Russia's Raising Its Iron Curtain!

Playing golf in Russia sounds exotic but it's more accessible than you would imagine thanks to a website which offers the opportunity for tourist golfers to enjoy great golf, a taste of Russian culture and an exciting nightlife.

The first golf course in Russia was built in 1989 near the Mosfilm film studios, an area of the city where many foreign Embassies are situated and where visiting film celebrities could relax in familiar surroundings. The nine-hole (par 33) course was inspired by a Swedish ice hockey legend Tumba Johansson and now carries the name of Moscow City Golf Club.

The body rotates the clubhead through, and because of this, Stricker is able to consistently reproduce a stacked impact position. What's that mean? It means Stricker, like many good players, can better gauge different distances by adjusting his swing length. So, longer chips require a longer swing; shorter chips need a shorter swing. He doesn't have to make big changes to his ball position, how he releases the hands, etc.

In 1994, Robert Trent Jones (Jr) was invited to create the first 18-hole championship course at Moscow Country Club which has since hosted several European Tour events The TaylorMade Rescue Hybrid 2009 is surrounded by birch and pine forests and many holes feature both natural and man-made water hazards. To further challenge some of the world's top golfers, it has been lengthened since 2003 and now provides a tough test for all abilities.

For almost a decade Le Meridien at Moscow Country Club remained the only 18-hole course in Russia but in 2005 Pestovo Golf and Yacht Club opened up near the famous Pestovskoye reservoir with a unique links flavor. Welshman David Thomas, twice a runner-up in The Open Championship, put his distinctive stamp on it, using mounding, bunkering and the wind off the reservoir to achieve a tough examination for visitors and members.

"We have tried to create a challenging course for championship players," he said at the time. "I believe we have introduced a balance that will encourage and satisfy golfers of all levels, abilities and skills." The Taylormade R9 Max Irons features wide, long fairways surrounded by deep and rich hay-type rough, and the greens are well protected by strategically placed sand and water hazards.

Signature hole is the par-5 third - a dogleg left designed as a three-shotter. Trouble emerges from a pulled tee shot into the bunkers, which only big hitters can carry. The second shot demands an aggressive strike over more bunkers to open the green up for an attacking approach.
