Baywatch star Pamela Anderson celebrates midsummer at Linna Golf, Finland’s finest golf resort and country house hotel
(Vanajanlinna, Finland – July 3, 2007) Linna Golf, Finland, Europe’s best new course and a member of the PGA European Tour Courses group, hosted Pamela Anderson for Finland’s recent midsummer festivities.
Anderson, whose great grandfather was Finnish, was visiting the Nordic country for the first time and spent two days celebrating midsummer at Linna Golf, the stylish country house hotel and golf resort 100km north of Helsinki.
Mika Walkamo, president of Linna Golf, said: "Linna Golf was thrilled to welcome Pamela Anderson and her father on their first visit to Finland. They enjoyed the bright midnight sun, shared a wonderful family reunion and an intimate meal prepared by our internationally acclaimed chef."
Anderson enjoyed her visit to Finland and Linna Golf, and, writing on her official website www.pamelaanderson.com, said: "I will have a summer home there one day and plan on going back every summer to enjoy the midnight sun."
Finland enjoys 24-hour daylight at midsummer, a time of national celebration and holiday, when golf can be played long after midnight over Linna Golf’s world class course, venue for the 2010 European Amateur Championships.
Anderson’s official web diary talked of her excitement at discovering her Finnish heritage and enjoying the national pastime of sauna. Linna Golf’s new luxury clubhouse opened in early June and features 18 golf suites and holiday apartments, with en-suite sauna that offer views out onto the golf course, and spa and Jacuzzi access.
Linna Golf is popular with celebrities from across the sports and business worlds. Formula One Racing driver Kimi Raikkonen is a member at Linna Golf, and international fashion tycoon Peter Nygard met with Anderson during her midsummer stay at Linna.
