Welcome to the Drambuie World Ice Golf Championships

From the 17th - 22nd March 2002 why not visit the Drambuie World Ice Golf Championship. This will be the 4th time this exciting challenge will have been played - put it in your calendar

Almost 600 km north of the Arctic Circle, on the west coast of Greenland, lies the little town of Uummannaq. From December through to May, the fjord leading in to Uummannaq is covered by a metre-thick sheet of ice. Huge icebergs containing thousand-year-old ice lie frozen in the fjord, caught by the freeze on their journey out towards the open sea.

If you've tried the greens of Europe, you'll find playing on Greenland's "whites" something quite special! It is in the midst of this fantastic scenery that the Drambuie World Ice Golf Championship 2002 will be held.

Participants will come from all over the world, drawn by the prospect of a magnificent experience in breathtaking surroundings breathtaking even to the most seasoned of travellers. Anyone with a handicap of up to 36 can take part.

Uummannaq Ice Golf Committee and many excellent people in this small community are responsible for the arrangements. Drambuie has been our main and title sponsor right from the start, and they have taken the tournament from strength to strength ever since, making it bigger and better than ever imagined.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Uummannaq.

At the time of the tournament there are 15 hours of daylight in Uummannaq. As the ultimate golfing adventure, The Drambuie World Ice Golf Championship achieved international recognition in 2001 with broadcast coverage reaching 530 million homes in over 130 countries.

In 2002, Drambuie will be heightening the excitement by bringing back Annika Östberg to defend her title in a bid for a unique hat trick. Facing her will be strong American challengers as well as leading golfers from the European Challenge Tour.
