Erró – Sandgerði´s little golfdog

Yesterday there was a golftournament in the middle of winter in Sandgerði, a little town in the South-West of Iceland of  1683 inhabitants ; Iceland´s 26th most populated municipality; (as of January 2011).

94 golfers were competing in a temperature of 0° Celsius (32° Fahrenheit), at least the sun shone and there wasn´t much wind and there was no snow on the golf course. Perfect conditions for playing golf in Iceland!

There was one in particular, who was watching the golfers enthusiastically from the Club house of Sandgerði, Erró, Sandgerði´s little golfdog.

Erró follows his owner, Skafti Thorisson, who is a member of the Golf Club of Sandgerði (abbreviated: GSG) each time Skafti is playing golf or competing or like yesterday preparing the hot, sumptious, creamed soup of aspargus for the golfers to eat after a rather cold round of golf.

Erró is even in the photo when the men´s team of Sandgerði moved from the 2nd division up into the 1st division, where they will be playing this year and has a gold medal around his neck (see picture below).

The Men´s team of Sandgerði who won their matches in the 2nd division and will play in the 1st division this year, 2013. Sandgerði´s little golfdog, Erró, is in the middle with a goldmedal around his neck!!!

When you come to play a round of golf in Sandgerði; you´re almost certain to see a little dog named Erró on the golfcourse, who loves golf!
