    The Xtreme 19th, on a course in South Africa.

    You have to take a helicopter to get to the tee box.

    Green is shaped like the continent of Africa.

    If you make a hole in one, you pocket a million bucks.

    That million-dollar prize ought to just about cover the greens fees.

    Actually, it's only $220, and that includes the helicopter ride.

    Less than Pebble beach, I believe.

    You also might want to watch your alcohol intake during the round. Lose your balance on the tee box and it can be curtains.

    I'd be in-between clubs. Probably take a little off a 7-iron.

    I've always wanted to hit a golf ball off the side of a mountain.

    That would be fun. There is a Seattle city course which has a tee box set up on a giant hill. The hill is so steep you can't drive carts or walk down the fairway, you have go down a switchback path.

    Jackson Park Golf Course, is it's name. I played it once and was rather inebriated and don't remember much of the day.

    Says you get a DVD of your shot. I'd hate to be the videographer who must stay at the tee box waiting for people to come up.
