Svångemåla has unfortunately no golf course but all its inhabitants play golf. This makes it a truly unique village. One of the main reasons for this exceptional interest in the noble game is its closeness to no less than four golf courses. Two are within 25 minutes drive and the other two are not more than a further 10 minutes away. Two of the courses are also in the deep forests with plenty of water and deep rough while the other two are closer to the sea and have more of a seaside feel to them.
I have had the great pleasure to play three times since coming back to Svångemåla and it has been a real joy every time. It is hard to explain to those who have never tried the game but the mixture of physical activity, social interaction and nature experience makes it the probably most rewarding of all hobbies or sports than I can think of. It is also one of the few sports that you can enjoy regardless of your playing partners abilities. The last game was a three ball with two old friends and the banter started already on the first tee and the joking never stopped until we drove away from the parking lot. A nice lunch before the game and a cup of coffee after did not make the day less enjoying.
(Svångemåla’s total population is currently three adults.)

There must be somthing else going on in Svångemåla, than golf, nordic walking and flowers. I´m waiting.
My blogg on nybroit will soon discuss why it seems that Svångemåla has gone down, and maybe you need international aid.
The cyberspace is enourmous but it is also hard to be heard./
