POPEYE
 Published: Feb 26, 07 Views: 3,399 This is not the first time for the the World Ice Golf Championship. “The world championship has taken place since 1999 in Uummannaq, Greenland. ” The World Ice Golf Championship is held almost 600 km north of the Arctic Circle, on the west coast of Greenland in the little town of Uummannaq. From December through to May, the fjord leading in to Uummannaq is covered by a metre-thick sheet of ice. Huge icebergs containing thousand-year-old ice lie frozen in the fjord, caught by the freeze on their journey out towards the open sea.”  " providing glacial scenery, sub-negative-25 temps, and tongue injuries for those brave enough to try to pronounce it. The plus of the icy setting is that the shifting frozen seascape makes each round unique and wholly unrepeatable, though the glaring whiteness necessitates using fluorescent orange balls, a stunning juxtaposition against your frigid gray ones.
Anyone with very thick skin and a decent handicap (36 or better) can enter this numbing affair -- your $2,592 entry fee includes five nights of room and board, much needed de-icing activities (a gala dinner, sled dog cuddling), and two days of tourney play."
