What is NUDE GOLF?

Updated: Apr 3

Although I been hearing a loot of buzz around "nude golf" or "naked golf" I have never, tried it and i don't plan on trying it anytime soon. However, for all of you freaks out there who keep asking us about it, I did a bit of research and here's what I found.


It is important to note that Nude Golf, also known as Naked Golf or Naturist Golf, is not a widely recognized or established sport. It is considered more of a niche activity that involves playing golf while being naked or nude.

The idea of nude golf may seem unusual and perhaps even inappropriate to some, but it has gained a small following in certain parts of the world, particularly among naturists who enjoy being nude in natural settings. For them, playing golf in the buff is simply an extension of their preference for being nude in other activities like swimming, hiking, and sunbathing.


Nude golf is not typically played on regular golf courses, as most courses have strict dress codes that prohibit nudity. Instead, it is played on private properties or designated areas where nudity is allowed. These may be small courses with only a few holes or even just improvised courses set up in a natural setting.


The rules of nude golf are generally the same as traditional golf, with players attempting to hit a ball into a series of holes on a course with as few strokes as possible. However, there may be some slight modifications to the rules to accommodate the unique nature of playing naked, such as the allowance of towels or the relaxation of certain etiquette norms.


The origins of nude golf are not entirely clear, but it is believed to have emerged in the early 20th century when naturist movements were gaining popularity in Europe and North America. The first recorded instance of organized nude golf occurred in the early 1930s in France, where a group of naturists played on a private course.


However, the activity did not gain much mainstream attention until the 1970s when it was featured in a few news articles and documentaries.


While the idea of playing golf without clothing may seem frivolous or inappropriate to some, proponents of nude golf argue that it can be a liberating and fun experience that allows them to connect with nature and their bodies in a unique way. They also argue that it can be a form of body positivity and acceptance, as players are not judged on their appearance or clothing but rather on their skill at the game.


However, nude golf is not without its controversies and challenges. Some golfers and course owners may view it as a violation of traditional golf etiquette and decorum, while others may find it inappropriate or even offensive. There are also concerns about hygiene and safety, as being nude in a public setting can increase the risk of sunburn, insect bites, and other hazards.


So all in all... Nude Golf is a niche activity that involves playing golf while being naked. While it may not be widely recognized or accepted, it has gained a small following among naturists who enjoy being nude in natural settings.


The rules and origins of the activity are generally similar to traditional golf, with some modifications to accommodate the unique nature of playing naked. Proponents argue that it can be a fun and liberating experience that allows for a unique connection with nature and the body, while others view it as inappropriate or even offensive.
