If you’ve read
my article on Golfing Malaysia you’ll
know that I’ve already recommended
that you head to Malaysia for the
Golf Inter-Team Amateur Championship.
That’s still my recommendation,
but first you can tune up in Uummannaq,
Northern Greenland.
Uummannaq, 367
miles north of the Arctic Circle
will again be host to this unique
event in March 2008. But not
everyone can play in this spectacular
event…only those with an authentic
handicap of 18 or lower are eligible
to take part in the two day tournament.
Without going
into too much detail you should
be aware that it is a 36 hole competition
that will run over two days.
The first day has been set aside
for practice and then the real deal
happens on glacier ice. Because
it is a real glacier the course
changes from year to year so it
really does no good to memorize
the last year’s course—it’s history.
Literally.
