...When you have ice, play ice golf!
(Okay, maybe it doesn't roll off the tongue as smoothly. But you'll see what I mean...!)
It may be freezing outside (depending on where you live)... But that doesn't stop some people from getting out on the "green"... err, I mean the "white"... and hitting a few golf balls around!
Instead of a golf course, they choose a frozen pond.

And those who are real keen, can go to Greenland for the World Ice Golf Championship!

Call me crazy... But I may just stay in with a hot cup of cocoa! :)
