Golf in the Czech Republic

The show will come from the Czech Republic’s capital Prague this month as Living Golf explores the country that’s recently been voted the best undiscovered golf destination.

Ever since the Velvet Revolution of 1989, the Czech economy has been growing, thanks in no small part to the tourist dollar. Situated geographically in the very heart of Europe, it's an attractive destination for anyone interested in history, architecture, a spot of romance or simply a good beer. But of even greater value to Czechs in future are visitors that bring their golf clubs and we'll discover on this show, there's plenty of courses to check out in the Czech Republic.

PAULA CREAMER

As fans of Europe versus America contests will know, the Solheim Cup is just a couple of weeks away and one of the stars this year is expected to be the USA's Paula Creamer.

The 21-year-old was the youngest player ever to qualify in 2005, her rookie season. She's one of the hottest players on tour and Justin Armsden met her recently at the home of golf, St Andrews in Scotland.

CZECH'S COMMUNIST PAST

40 years of communist rule means that Prague's recent history is as interesting as its ancient past although life under an oppressive regime obviously wasn't much fun.
