The Deadliest Golf Courses in the World

Golf can kill you! Well, sort of. Apart from the risk of getting a stray ball embedded in your skull should you be stupid enough to walk through someone's game, you may actually find the golf course itself threatening your life.

The days are getting shorter, and the weather is getting colder and wetter; winter is definitely on its way. Who wants to golf in that?

Two hours from the UK lies the beautiful island of Mallorca (or Majorca), the largest of the Balearics. The Romans saw it as strategically important and guarded it jealously.
