Armed Golf

I have often thought while playing a round of golf about all the horror and hell that has been plotted, dealt, and then easily forgotten on the course. Rank businessmen and corrupt politicians carving up parts of the world, dealing in oil and rare minerals, then slicing one more drive and another fat chunker-- all the while bombs being dropped on some country most of us couldn’t identify if we were air dropped there ourselves. Presidents authorizing air raids and then atrociously ripping drives down into some swath of trees. This game has truly been the thoroughfare of blood and war. For me, it was just a nice way to compete with my older brother.
