This time I’m gonna speak about…
golf! I’m not an expert or fan of this sport, but I do love landscapes and how
they form. I must admit I enjoy more the scenery rather than swings or golfer’s
technical gestures!
Since I’m not an English native
speaker, I always double-check for slang. So, I just learned that obstacles in
a golf course are called “hazards”. In Earth Sciences, “hazard” has a precise
definition, that is an event posing a threat to humans, society, the built and
natural environment… it’s funny how language can create connections!
Thinking about golf courses and landscapes in August made me wanderlust; I used Google Earth to explore the locations of 2019 Golf Major Championships… take a look!
