Samuel Langhorne Clemens once said,

'Golf is a good walk spoiled', even though my home in the UK is in a golf course I have to agree with Samuel, although he wrote the quote under the name of Mark Twain, even a British Prime Minster got in on some peoples dislike for golf when Winston Churchill said “Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose,” but not so in Germany where golfers do not have to walk, the Scholss Auel Golf Club near Cologne, Germany, splashed out £175,000 on the smooth-running walkway after its management were inspired by watching ski lifts carry people to the top of the slopes,

the 98ft-long walkway takes members to the summit of a 30ft hill between the first green and the second tee which had left even the younger members out of puff, the 500ft travelator does away with the need for members to hire a golf buggy, did I mention it is April or All Fools Day today? but is this one?
