The Conwy Morfa ((ウェールズ語:Morfa Conwy)) is a piece of originally marshy-sand based spit, north of the western end of the modern A55 entrance to Conwy in Conwy county borough, north-west Wales. Known locally as "The Morfa" (Welsh, ''Y Morfa''), it shapes the south side of the estuary of the River Conwy. Today a large sandy bay, which at low tide forms part of the extensive sandy beaches and mussel banks of Conwy Bay, Conwy Morfa has many developments on its land, including: * A beach - a large sandy bay, which also provides excellent fishing 〔(Good Beach Guide search results )〕 * The Golf Club - possibly the place the first place people played golf in Wales * A marina - Conwy Quays, developed by Crest Nicholson, managed by a third party * An industrial estate - on the south-side of the A55 road ==Golf Course== In 1869, three Scots laid out a few holes on Conwy Morfa - they may have been the first to play golf on Welsh soil. In 1875 members from The Royal Liverpool Golf Club, Hoylake realised the potential of the Conwy Morfa, and had a 12-hole course professionally laid out. On 30 June 1890 The Caernarvonshire (Conwy) Golf Club was formed, and on 30 July the Club's first Captain, Mr. Sydney Platt opened the club house - a donated military mess hut from the local army base. In 1895, the club became one of the founding members of the Welsh Golfing Union, and after extending the course to eighteen holes staged the first Welsh National Championship. Today it is a typical links course, with an abundance of gorse and wind adding to the challenge. Douglas Adams the golfing painter created three of his most famous paintings on the Conwy Morfa: 'A Difficult Bunker, 'The Putting Green' and 'The Drive'. These are on display in the present club house, completed in 1996, the fifth since 1875. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conwy Morfa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
