"... É como se a vida alemã fosse lentamente desaparecendo do contacto com a Europa Ocidental, inclinando-se para os desertos do leste." (D. H. Lawrence, A letter from Germany, 1924)
A Alemanha está próspera, graças, sem dúvida, à sua mestria produtiva, mas também à custa do consumismo dos países periféricos, seus grandes clientes comercias, que foram compelidos a desinvestir na agricultura, nas pescas e em muitas indústrias tradicionais. Falta em Berlim um líder forte e capaz de unir a Europa e tornar esta região suficientemente forte para enfrentar todos os outros poderios actuais e emergentes… é urgente mandar a senhora Angela jogar golfe!...
Tive a minha primeira lição de golfe!
Comprei uma luva para a mão esquerda, dizem que é para agarrar melhor o taco.
Aprendi alguns movimentos de aquecimento muscular, e sobre um tapete sintético, a imitar relva, lá tentei acertar na bola que para o efeito estava posta sobre um pequeno tubo de borracha.
Já sei a melhor maneira de pegar no taco (a isso chama-se pega ou “grip”); que a bola é posta encima de um pino chamado “tee”; e lá tentei acertar na bola e fazer com que a mesma voasse alguns metros… não foi fácil!...
Pernas afastadas, e ligeiramente flectidas pelos joelhos com estes apontados um ao outro, costas direitas dobradas pelas ancas e braços pendentes.
Rotação do taco para a direita (que eu não sou canhoto) até ficar a vareta paralela ao chão e rodar depois para a esquerda fazendo passar a cabeça do taco pela bola obrigando-a a levantar e voar a alguma distância, quando se consegue acertar nela… não é mesmo nada fácil!... mas foi bom.
"... As if the Germanic life were slowly ebbing away from contact with western Europe, ebbing to the deserts of the east." (D.H. Lawrence, A letter from Germany, 1924)
Germany is thriving, thanks no doubt to his mastery of production, but also at the expense of consumerism of peripheral countries, their large commercial customers, who were compelled to divest in agriculture, fisheries and many traditional industries. In Berlin there are lack of a strong leader capable of uniting Europe and make the region strong enough to handle all other current and emerging power ... it is urgent to send frau Angela to play golf! ...
I had my first golf lesson!
I bought a glove to my left hand, they say it is important to better grab the club.
I learned a few moves for the muscles heating, and on a synthetic carpet, imitating grass, I tried to get the ball there which was put on a small rubber tube for that purpose.
I know the best way to handle the club (this is called the handle or grip), the ball is placed on top of a pin called tee, and there I tried to hit the ball and make it fly some meters ... was not easy! ...
Legs apart and knees pointing to each other and slightly bent, back straight bent by the hip and arms hanging.
Rotation of the club to the right (I'm not left-handed) until the rod is parallel to the ground and then run to left by increasing the club head to the ball forcing it to rise and fly some distance, when you can hit it ... is not it all easy! ... but it was good.
