Golf in Kabul, it's worth the trip
2010.05.21
My trip to Afghanistan was worth it. It was a great experience. Playing golf there was the thrill of a lifetime. Lots of people have played St. Andrews and Muirfield and Carnoustie like I did last year. Not many people have teed it up here on the outskirts of Kabul.
A real treasure, a real treat was getting time with the Afghan people who don't gripe about how high the greens are mowed or a little indention in the fairway. Those who know golf are thrilled about it. Rocks and sand and Russian tanks and portable astroturf. Priceless.
My life is richer having interacted with the people from Afghanistan and the westerners who live there. Here is a link to some pictures from the trip and a video about the course below.
