Golf is more than just a car. Since 1974, the year of launching the first generation of the German model, the 26 million copies sold in five consecutive series is the guarantee that when you start to write material about the best selling European model of all time, readers already know a lot about the Golf family.
Volkswagen introduced to the world the new Golf in September of 2008. A sixth vertebrae in the backbone of VW. The first official contact with images of the new Golf was weird. Many expected a revolution, an attempt of Volkswagen engineers to address completely different the design chapter and the technical chapter. They were disappointed at first sight. The most conservative managed to see the lines of Golf old model, the very personal line of the German car and a continuation of Volkswagen forms.
At the technical level, Golf 6 is based on the previous generation. Being a model that has not had major problems to solve during his lifetime, the differences were, practically, the evolution of each constituent.
On the inside, the new Golf is changed. The materials are of good to excellent quality, attention to detail is one of the chapters in which the Germans have worked intensively.
Golf has 6 DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control), a package opened by the Volkswagen Passat CC. Basically, DCC is based on a series of sensors that automatically calculates each race suspensions depending on the conditions of rolling wheels in each hand.
VW Golf 6 has two diesel engines of 2.0 liters (110 CP/250 Nm and 140 CP/320 Nm), and for the fans of gas propellers all the new generation of TSI engines. The most interesting being the top of the range: 1.4 TSI 160 Nm CP/240.
One over another, 6 Golf remains one of the great family golf. Element that provides stability and comfort of a good image among fans and no brand only. It is clear however that the public will be divided into two groups: those who love the element of the new conservative Gulf and those who would be more desirable, especially in terms of aesthetics.
Many of us recall old movie images of golfers in plaid pants, sweater vests, billed caps, and other stereotypical apparel of golfing lore. While clothing on golf courses has changed over the years, proper golf apparel is still expected. And the greater the prestige of the golf club, the greater the expectation you will abide by their dress code.
Most clubs and courses, even the public ones, require that golfers follow a dress code. The most common rule is the collared shirt. Many courses require long pants, not jeans, and golf shoes.
5 Minutes Early Is Late
When it comes to actually starting your game, the primary rule of etiquette is to show up on schedule for your tee time. That means you will have already done everything else in preparation for the start of the golf game. You'll need time to park your car, warm up, practice, buy balls, change, and pick up a cart. Being early is a matter of consideration for others.
Leave Cell Phones In The Real World The exclusion of cell phones from golf apparel is another common courtesy on the links. Cell phones should be left in your car or locker. If you do need to bring 1 onto the course for emergencies, keep it turned off.
When you're on the course, you'll need to understand how the other golfers in your group want to play. Some let the best score tee off on the next hole, while others let whoever is ready tee off first. You can offend players by not following their rules, even if their rules are, from your perspective, wrong.
Time-Honored Conventions Make Golfing Unique
An obsession with quiet is another characteristic for which golfers are known. Like most traditions, this one is based on necessity. When your object is to hit a small object with a long pole, you need all of your concentration. Even when golfing with friends, respect the fundamental rule of keeping quiet during shots, and standing out of the direct line of vision.
Today's golfing rules of etiquette can seem archaic -- a throwback to days of old. They harken back to a slower paced time when consideration for others was perhaps easier. In the 21st century, golfing provides us a time away from the bustle of everyday living. Though golf is highly competitive, it is, nonetheless, a gentleman's -- and gentlewoman's -- game.
