The European Challenge Tour stops outside Helsinki for the Talma Finnish Challenge, at Golf Club Talma, 35 km northeast at Uusimaa. Finland, on the Baltic penninsula that includes Sweden and Norway, lies just north of St Petersburg, Russia, and across the sea from Estonia. Santa Claus lives in a cave in Finland on the Artic Circle in Lapland. There are over 50 golf courses in Finland! This country is VERY Internet savvy.
