I like it. The long summer days are amazing. Most of the terrain is
either Canadian Shield rock outcrop or swampy muskeg. Neither one is
conducive to fairways or greens (or chile gardens). So our 9 hole golf
course is on the beach of a lakeshore and has sand "greens". The 24 hour
long midnight sun marathon tournie on June 21st is becoming quite
famous.

So is winter golf.... it's played on snowshoes with bright orange balls.

If a raven (over-sized crow) steals your ball you can either shoot it
and play where the ball falls or take a two stroke penalty.
