This is a golf cart in a little village northwest of Kandahar city. Golf is different in Afghanistan, at least in this part of Afghanistan. There are no "greens," since there is no grass. The whole course is basically a sand trap - at least those parts of the course that aren't mined. On the other hand, the holes are larger, since they've probably suffered the occasional incoming mortar. When we visited what's called a "strong point" in this isolated rural area, we came across a bag with 8 or 10 golf clubs on the lookout deck, perhaps to while away the time on watch. But we also came across this little golf cart, which, as you can see, is somewhat more heavily armed that your usual golf cart. Word of advice: when you're playing with this guy, and he says he thinks he should be able to take a mulligan, it's probably wise not to argue.
