While the Air Force gets the lion's share of the credit in the Department of Defense for beautiful Officers' clubs and golf courses, the Army is not to be outdone. It is a little known fact that the Army has installed lush golf courses at all of its forward operating bases in Afghanistan. This is a view of the famous 18th hole of The Olde Course at scenic FOB ___. It is a 9-yard, dogleg right, 4 par. The hole is known, of course, for the signature ammunition case hazard along the left fairway.
I have omitted the name of the FOB for national security reasons and to prevent over-play by non-members.
I'd definitely call that an exclusive club, with incredibly high dues to pay. Do they serve delicious MRE's at happy hour?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a finely manicured pebble fairway too. Reduces the roll on the approach to the green I suppose.
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at military folks ability to have/make fun in places where it is in short supply.
ReplyDeleteIt must be an Army FOB if it has a golf course.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! FOUR!!
