& # 039; I want to be the Federer of women & # 039; s wave & # 039;

With inaccuracy punished by a ball landing in the lava fields, Icelandic golfers have an extra incentive to make the fairways. Some runways lie in ancient volcanoes and require players to fight against howling winds while shooting across vast ocean. The golf season only lasts from May to September, before the elements get stuck and the sensible comes in. It could not be farther from the Augusta National azaleas. And yet, for all obstacles, wave flourishes in the land of fire and ice.
