Ice Golf Baby

Golf on a frozen lake in the middle of winter. Can you say f-f-f-f-fore?

My friend Mike does the wackiest things. Last weekend he participated in an ice golf tournament on Pigeon Lake. When I asked him why he did it he replied, "Cuz it's crazy fun."

Golfers make their way around a course marked out by old Christmas trees and putting greens made of indoor/outdoor carpeting. I'm told you don't have to be an especially skilled golfer because you are only allowed to use two irons and a putter. You're not even required to have an eagle eye to spot the little white golf ball on the snow because coloured balls are used.

The tournament draws around 200 people for golf, dinner and a chance to thumb your nose at Old Man Winter. Are you game?

Check out some of the creative costumes and methods of transporting beverages around the course.
