Playing golf is one of my favorite passtimes (OK, favorite passtime). There are two courses here in Bahrain. One is a desert track where you carry a mat with you and place your ball on it for each shot. The other was designed by Colin Montgomery and has actual grass. Guess which one I played today. Next week I plan to join. There is also a 9 hole par three course called the 'Wee Monty'. Therefore, I am christening the regulation course the...wait for it...'Full Monty'.

| Beer and golf...feeling like home more each day! |

| Two of the people I played 9 holes with. Jeff and Sarah. Jeff is from Detroit and a lions fan. Sarah is...well...dang it, I travel 7,000 miles and meet Sarah...a PACKERS fan...I just can't seem to get away from these people. Look closely at her shirt. That ugly green and yellow 'g' was the first thing I saw. All we needed was a bears fan and we would have had the entire NFC North covered. Both are stationed here with the Navy for the next three months. |

| Sarah, Jeff and D. All Navy personnel and all nice people. |
 |
| I don't know if you can really see this green, but it has about nine breaks to it. Putting is a real challenge here. |

| Golf in the Middle East just wouldn't feelright without an oil rig and active pipeline. |
