Svein Heglund
Svein Heglund (10 December 1918 – 18 June 1998) was a Norwegian pilot, officer and engineer.

Heglund was a conscript in a Norwegian anti-aircraft battery in Oslo when  Poland was invaded in 1939. When his national service period ended, he applied for the Army Air Service Pilot School, but it was after the  application date. He then went to Switzerland for engineering studies. When Germany attacked Norway in April 1940, he and fellow student Jens Müller signed on a ship heading for Portsmouth. From there they headed for Little Norway in Canada, where they were enrolled in the first class at the pilot school.

Oslo Golfklubb
Oslo Golfklubb was established in 1924 as Norway's first golf club. It is a parkland course located south of Bogstadvannet and Sørkedalen.

When the young ship broker Ragnar Halle came home after years abroad, he  wanted to form a golf club to continue to play the game he had learned  in United Kingdom. A commitee was set to explore the possibilites to lend land for a golf course. In June 1924 the committee got a deal with landowner Westye Egeberg at Bogstad. He was willing to let the golf club hire a portion of his estate south of Bogstadvannet. Few days later Kristiania Golf Klub was founded. The first hiring was the skier Johan Grøttumsbråten as assistant green keeper.

The first few holes were soon planted, and as funds allowed more holes were laid out. Within a few years more land was needed.

The present club house was erected in 1935. Prior to that, an old refurnished barn had served as club house. This barn burned down during the Second World War.

Oslo Golfklubb was, with Borregaard Golfklubb, Høsbjør Golfklubb and Bergen Golfklubb, a founding member of  the national golf federation, Norges Golfforbund, in 1948. The club's influence in Norwegian golf was huge; it took 33 years before the  federation got a chairman from another club than Oslo, and from 1948 to  1956 the club championship also counted as the national championship.

The course has been host to two Ladies European Tour events, P4 Norwegian Masters in 2002 and SAS Masters in 2006, both won by Laura Davies. From 1995 to 1997 it was host to Norwegian Challenge on the Challenge Tour.

After the 2007 season, the course was closed for upgrading, and reopened in the spring of 2009.
