Latvian NHL star Sandis Ozolins is reportedly planning on opening a golf course in Riga.

It would be the first golf course in Latvia since the country regained independence.
The estimated 5 million dollar facility would be built in the Mezaparks district of the Latvian capital, an area with large tracks of open land and forest that was first established as a residential area in the 1930s.
Estonia was the first to construct a golf course after the Soviet collapse near Niitvдlja, a small village about 30 kilometers outside Tallinn.
Last year, another Latvian NHL star, goalie Arturs Irbe, said he plans to open a stud farm on an 85-hectare seaside estate near Salacgriva, 75 kilometers north of Riga.
