Golf A new attraction, preferred by numerous tourists, especially the foreigners, is the golf. In addition to other holiday enjoyments, there is in Alba a new golf course in Pianu de Jos, near Alba Iulia. The "Prof. Paul Tomita" Golf Club (my note - Mr Tomita was His Majesty King Mihai I of Romania golf teacher) was inaugurated on the 12th of May 1995 and its purpose was to promote the playing of this game throughout Romania. Currently this is a nine hole course but it is hope it will be omologated and will equate to the international standard courses. This golf club arose interest among the golf players, as there is another golf course in Bucuresti-Baneasa but this is under standards being endowed with only six holes. Top
