Driving Range - Egypt

As the world over it seems, you can play golf in the most unlikely of places.

A game that was invented in Scotland with a frequently uncomfortable climate in terms of rain and temperature so promoting the growth of lush and verdant grass is transferred to somewhere that does not support the growth of grass at all without the addition of vast amounts of desalinated sea-water at considerable environmental cost.

This is my son having a golf lesson on a lush green in what should be desert. His coach was the epitome of charm and professionalism itself, but I have this huge nagging problem that I was condoning here what I should have been condemning.
