All year. Do you ever dream of playing golf in Paris, treading those green and pampered lawns and whizzing around in one of those little buggies like a millionaire, in the style of this rather standoffish sport?... Well, clubs to the ready! Paris and its region is teeming with golf courses which, contrary to popular opinion, are accessible to all. In exchange for a (reasonable) sum, you can practise your putt and streamline your swing under the practised eye of the experts, cross clubs with other keen players or simply hone your handicap. Armed with your golf bag, you will stroll across the greens with a professional air, a Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus in the making, improving your performance as you go. Tempted? To choose one of the 74 golf courses (107 greens) in the Ile-de-France region, check out the list on www.ffg.org.
