First sentence: If you should ignore this cautionary tale and fly to Helsinki anyway, and from there clatter eight hours north by train, and from there drive 1,251 miles, deep into the Arctic Circle, in search of the northernmost golf course in the world, 3 A.M. tee times, caddying reindeer, tee boxes built atop saunas, the Swedish Loch Ness monster, Santa Claus (jolly old St. Nicklaus), and an effective mosquito repellent, then at least promise me this: On the odd chance that you make it home alive, confirm to your friends that this story is true.
