Golf, Tigers and the DMZ

Filed under: Sports — @ 3:00 am

There is a golf course that lies right on the border between North and South Korea, right next to the DMZ (demilitarized zone). It only has one hole but it’s a monster. A snap hook to the left may end with a ka-boom as it lands in a mine field. It acts as a little ’slice of life’ for the soldiers stationed at this lonely outpost. Did I forget to mention the Korean tigers and vampire deer? It sounds like one of those crazy golf holes you see on calendars…except this one is real.

The course is between both Koreas
And to play it is no panacea
For the boredom and stress.
Still…the soldiers attest
‘Hats off’ to one crazy idea.
