02 May Gök Otta Tournament – June 2, 2011, Pipers Heath Golf Club
Piper's Heath Golf Club in the early morning
“Gök Otta – Early Cuckoo Morning” or Ascension Day dates back to the year 68 and is a celebration of the arrival of Spring and looking for nature to predict the future, especially in the call of the Cuckoo bird.
The day is often celebrated by getting up early in the morning – around 3 or 4 a.m. meet with friends in a forest glen to hear the birds sing and eat a picnic breakfast….sounds like the perfect opportunity to merge a dash of ancient Swedish culture with a relaxing morning on the Golf Course!
