Golf in Afghanistan

When I was on active duty in Baghdad, we used to joke that with the clear skies, palm trees, and man-made lakes, the International Zone would make a great golf course in more peaceful days, which we would call "Tigris Woods."
Well, today AFP has a great little piece on Afghanistan's only golf course.  Apparently, security hasn't been a problem thus far as "Deminers cleared the course, but as an extra precaution Afzal set several thousand sheep roaming over it for five days -- they set off no mines and all survived."
