 A
game of midnight golf seems an unlikely prospect to many
enthusiasts and few golfers have experienced this delight. But now
you have a novel opportunity to participate in an event which
features round the clock golf in mid-summer at high latitudes. The
Akureyri Golf Club hosts this tournament which is known as The
Arctic Open Golf Championship. It is an international event which
attracts golfers from various parts of the world. Players do not
have to worry about darkness cramping their style because the sun
barely dips below the horizon. This championship tournament is
open to professional and amateur golfers alike. Played is by
Stabelford points. Maximum exact handicap for men is 24 and 28 for
women.
Please
note, a confirmation of handicap is required.
Prizes
are with and without handicap.
The
Golfers Handbook of the Royal Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews,
states that: "The most northerly course
is the Akureyri Golf Club in Iceland which is situated 65° 40´
north of the Equator."
*Due
to a limited number of participants, please make your reservations
as soon as possible.
