Description
There's never been a sportsman like Sven Tumba. After playing Ice hockey at the Winter Olympics and football in the European Cup, he turned his attention to golf, became a professional, and represented Sweden in the World Cup. Oh, and he was also Sweden's best waterskier.
He's credited with popularising golf in Sweden, and designed the course at Ullna which opened in 1981. When it needed a revamp, he called up his friend Jack Nicklaus to oversee it.
The course is now rated one of the best in continental Europe.
