Golf at the North Pole? Unlikely, but it happened. The author persuaded a Russian ice breaker to transport his golf clubs to the North Pole and during the journey sought out other possible golfers who might be game enough to participate in a tournament. He is now the North Pole Open Champion but his friends know that that is not meaningful.
Golf at the North Pole? Unlikely, but it happened. The author persuaded the crew of a Russian ice breaker to transport his golf clubs to the North Pole and during the journey he sought out other possible golfers who might be game enough to participate in a tournament. As the ship progressed to 90 degrees north he was continually reminded of the exploits of earlier Polar explorers who did not had the advantage of heated cabins, berths, good food and the attentions of a delightful crew. He tells the tales of the early explorers who attempted to find the North Pole by airships, balloons and boats and while telling these tales he intersperses the narrative with golfing stories that appear pertinent. He is now the North Pole Open Champion but his friends know that that is not meaningful.
