Winston Churchill said that, and he was talking about golf.
He totally ripped it from Mark Twain too, but hey; I've never said anything in my life worth quoting, except that time I pointed to my mouth and said "Food goes here". (Looking back now, totally wish I'd said Foot goes here. Hindsight - second worst form of sight.) Anyway, i guess that since he belted out a plethora of other pearlers during his time, I think we can let this one little indiscretion slide. You've been warned, Churchy.
Now that I've sneakily introduced the subject of Golf, I'd like to talk to you about my mate Ben who has just recently been sent to Kabul as part of his DFAT posting. Exact details on his role are a little vague as you might guess from a department of that nature, and God only knows how he got past their initial personality tests; he's got a cultural insensitivity record a mile long.
Fortunately for us, he's been sending back some incredible photos and anecdotes from the region. Below is one of his latest:

ps: While we're talking about quotes, you really should check out the quotation site Think Exist. It's completely wonderful and gives you every appearance of being poignant when really you're just a Googling nobody. kinda. like. me. *sniff*

I'd play if I got to ride on a camel whilst playing. The sand traps will be made of astroturf obviously.
