Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.
Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.
Stadionul Cetate is a stadium located in Alba Iulia, Romania. While it is a multi-purpose venue, it is currently used mostly for football matches. You can pick out the scale of the place by its capacity, as it holds 18,000 people. It is the home ground for the local club, Unirea Alba Iulia. I have seen plenty of excitement here on match days, and the structure dates back to when work started in 1982. It is a great spot to see how the city celebrates its love for the game.
Let me show you Obeliscul, an obelisk located in Alba Iulia. This site is a Historic Monument and is also known as the Obelisk of Horea, Cloșca, and Crișan.

I usually see a few crumbs of bread left nearby by other birds, though you should keep your eyes on the stone instead. It is a quiet place to stop during your walk through the city streets.
Let me show you Apulum, a Roman legionary fortress located in today's Alba Iulia, Romania. It was a key military presence in the province of Dacia from the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. Today, you can visit the remains of this castrum as an archaeological site and a Historic Monument. It is a place where the ancient military layout is still visible to those who walk the grounds. I've noticed the straight lines of these old fortifications always make for a predictable bank shot for the ball.
Catedrala Sfântul Mihail is a cathedral and a Historic Monument. It is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Alba Iulia, Romania.

Visitors can observe the specific characteristics of the Romanesque style throughout the structure. It is also the longest cathedral in Romania, making it a prominent landmark for those visiting the city of Alba Iulia.
