PR clean-up needed
Much of the material added from the end of June to the beginning of July 2020 is absurdly positive, and subjective:

"The distinctive feature of Russian courses is that most of them are the work of the best world architects, they are perfectly manicured and harmoniously match the rich nature of Russia. " - unjustified (and improbable) superlatives

"The golf season in Russia is not as short as it may seem. " - 'as it may seem' to whom?

"The active development of the tourist golf destination in our country began after the FIFA World Cup in 2018. Russia has become more open to tourists, which has allowed to significantly expand the boundaries of the golf industry and reach an international audience." - 'our country'? This makes it sound like it was written by someone working for Russian tourist development. It's also ungrammatical, and without citations.

"Interesting fact: The first golf club on the southern coast of France, Cannes Mandelieu Golf Club (modern Club Old Course Golf Cannes-Mandelieu) was founded in the 19th century by Grand Duke Mikhail Mikhailovich Romanov." - Not revelant, and Wikipedia should never have a paragraph starting with a chatty "Interesting fact:". This is, perhaps, just lifted from a Russian-language article? This 'fact' is also irrelevant to "Golf in Russia" - it's about golf in France.

" first stone of the first Golf Club was solemnly placed by famous Swedish hockey player, former world champion Sven Tumba. That marked the beginning of the construction of the first golf course in the USSR. On the same day famous athletes, Pelé, Mike Tyson, Sven Tumba and Alexander Ragulin made symbolic strokes with golf clubs." - tedious detail, with subjective "solemnly", "famous", "symbolic".

It continues with tedious detail about nearly every golf course in Russia, with a "Course Style:" at the end of each. Sources are Russian language - so we need a fluent Russian speaker to evaluate what is accurate, or reasonable detail.

The sections "Features of Golf in Russia", "Features of Golf courses in Russia" and "Annual Fam-trip «Golf in Russia" should be deleted completely - they read like a PR-driven article trying to get Russians to take up golf, and travel agents to send people there.
