The World Ice Golf Championships


         
The world ice golf championships are held in Uummannaq, Greenland. It started

in the year of 1997 and has been going every year since. The world ice golf

championships are located on the frozen Arctic Ocean; the golfers compete on

glaciers, and icebergs. The course is different every year though because the

glaciers and icebergs that slowly moves around from year to year. Playing golf on

a frozen land would be hard but it is not just the landscape that makes it difficult,

the green is white since it is frozen ice and snow and the ball is fluorescent orange

so they don’t lose it, plus there is an unlikely risk of losing the ball to a polar bear.

Even though golfing sounds difficult on ice it sure sounds fun and I would love to

try it.
