#1 Cant wait to see Tiger and other select members show up.

I suspect using a mortar for a driver is best for the looong #3 fairway. by the runway.

I wonder what the ettiquite for incoming fire is?

Will the taliban be allowed to "play thru"?

And of course the obligatory:

Can the ~~18th~~ 9th green be saved for democracy?

#2 It still does not beat the Korean DMZ course . . . live anti-personnel mines are occasionally found on the course, deposited by NK sappers overnight. Artillery and small arms fire are a regular feature. But the RPG's are a new twist . . . I suppose that they occasionally add a new divot, maybe becoming a water trap over time . . .

#3 In Saudi they oil the sand - what else?! - heh. Putting is a whole 'nuther world. The only course I know of is inside Aramco's Dhahran Camp (Little America)... No one shooting at you there, yet... but things change.

#7 So, if your shot sets off a mine, is that loss of a stroke and replay the shot or take a drop at the mine's crater?

Kabul's about 700 feet higher than Denver. Bet you can get off some hellaicious drives in the thin air.
