Hello from Iceland

[joeybee]

Hi there. I´ve only been a member for 2 or 3 days and now is the time for introduction. I´m almost 32 years old, live in Akureyri Iceland and I´ve been playing golf for about 4 years. The first 2 years were just for fun but last year I joined my hometown club GA (Golfclub of Akureyri). I just LOVE golf and everything connected to the game of golf. That´s not nice over winter up here but when summer finally comes I can play golf 24/7. Believe me, it´s a special feeling to play golf in the midnight sun :) I´m very happy to have found this site and look forward to be a part if it. Golf on!

Hello from Canada. Although I'm Irish, so when growing up I could play till 11pm in the summer (4.30 in the winter , not quite 24/7 golf... must be awesome not to have to ditch work early mid week to try and get a round in. You could probably go home, have dinner, watch TV and then go I'd fancy a round at 9 in the evening .... awesome!!!

Nothing beats playing golf at midnight, knocking the ball towards the bloodread sky when very few people are playing the course. Very peaceful and quiet. I actually work nights but thats only 2 weeks a month. Soooo, the other 2 weeks of the month I play golf a lot :) When my wife goes to work at 08:00 in the morning and the kids are at kindergarden I show up at the course and usually get 18 - 36 holes in before I go pick the family up. But I always try to play midnight golf a few times over summer. Last weekend me and my friends played our annual Mini Arctic Open (our version of The Arctic Open) and started at 10:30. For 9 holes the weather was PERFECT and we got to play while the sun was setting. Then, after we ate our pizza at the clubhouse (it was closed but we sat down outside) the fog came in. So 9 holes played in fog too. It was fun though and I got a few thousand "krónur" in my wallet for the win (91 shots). Pretty nice.

Must be nice to play at 12:30. The closest we come down here is using the car's head lights to light up the range. Cant see the balls but you can hear them land. Still fun none the less, does'nt beat playing 24/7 though. enjoy it

Hello from Canada as well! I love golf (obviously). It is only my second year but I am addicted (at 16). I am about a 8-10 handicap now playing on a tour and at good courses.

Hello right back at ya (from NJ)! That's got to be a real strange (and awesome) feeling to be able to play golf all day (err nite) long. But isn't that what we all want?

Golf by the midnight sun... I'm in the wrong locale. Does Iceland market golf vacations?
