I never thought I would become interested in golf. It always seemed like a boring sport to me, until I started reading about Adrian Meronk.

Adrian is a Polish professional golfer who is making his way on the European Tour. He is the first card-holding Polish native on the European Tour and the first to play in a European Tour event and win on the Challenge Tour. And he’s not just any golfer–he’s one of the most successful golfers in Europe!

What’s even more impressive is that Adrian has worked extremely hard to achieve his success. He didn’t just wake up one day and become a professional golfer–he has been practicing and competing since he was a teenager. In fact, Adrian was only fifth from the Old World’s second circuit when he graduated in 2019!

It’s truly amazing what Adrian has accomplished, and I’m so proud of him for representing Poland so well on the world stage. I can’t wait to see what he will achieve in the future!

Martyna Mierzwa is another Polish golfer who has been making waves in the golf world. Like Adrian, Martyna has also had some impressive finishes in her career. I’m so impressed by both Adrian and Martyna and all that they have accomplished in their careers.

So, what about Polish golfers?

Golf in Poland is not as ingrained as most countries would boast of. This means their supply of golfers who go on to shake the golfing world is quite limited.

However, things are changing since there has been an increase in the number of golf courses all over the country and the emergence of new stars who are not afraid of challenging the forces that be.

Golfing in Poland goes back about 100 years. (Source). At present, there are about 35 18-hole and 9-hole golf courses. There is also the Polish Golf Union that is alive and kicking.

It is working to promote golfing via some new courses still in the planning stages.

Poland might not be the instant thought that comes to mind when planning a golfing holiday. However, Poland is known for its great value for money. This, coupled with its impeccable quality of courses, is enough to capture the attention of the serious golfer.

Their rankings place the Sand Valley Golf Resort as the best there is in the country. This is the handiwork of Lassi Pekka Tilander, the architect. Others include the Postolowo Golf Club, the Modry Las, designed by the Gary Player Design, the Rosa Golf Club, and Krakow Valley.

This amazing architecture has played a great hand in popularizing golfing all over Poland, which has led to the birth of professional players who have gone on to make their mark on the halls of fame.

They might not be as many as most countries that have had the game going on for longer periods, but they are not negligible. The most famous Polish golfers are:

Adrian Meronk

Adrian Meronk is a 29-year-old professional Polish golfer mostly playing on the European Tour. In 2022, he won the Horizon Irish Open, which made him the first Polish to have a European Tour win.

He became a professional golfer in 2016 and, to date has two professional wins. His highest-ever ranking was number 57 on the 7th of August 2022.

He has played the Challenge Tour both in 2017 and 2018 and was in 2017 the runner-up on the Ras Al Khaimah Golf Challenge.

He has since shown his excellence in the Open de Portugal, where he beat Sebastian Garcia Rodriguez by two strokes. In 2020, he came just four shots behind the winner of Alfred Dunhill Championship, Christian Bezuidenhout.
