Nick and Andy- Love the game, and the walk, except when the ball goes in the drink. I think it would be great to go to Croatia and start up Golf courses if they don't already have some.

Joining the golf course talk!!! Here in AZ, we have an over abundance of golf courses. Most are very expensive. Neither Jerry or I golf, nor our grown up kids, but my brother does. He bought his retirement home in a sub that was building homes before the course went in, so he got a great buy. 7 years later, he wanted a bigger home in the same sub and didn't want to be on the course any more (he had to replace windows, repair stucco, etc, and had to put netting around so they wouldn't get clunked in the head). He made about $60,000 on the sale and moved 2 blocks away to a bigger slightly higher priced home. It cost a fortune for fees and you have to dress a certain way and drive a cart and there are cart regulations. I think it is a rich man's sport.

Dave ; I understand there still land mines in the ground, would that be a hazard or a bunker.
