Marham's golf course was just the other side of the 57Sqn pan next to a taxiway. I saw more than one golf balls in front of the aircraft while taxiing. And sporting FOD is not just a preserve of military airfields. The old Bangkok airport (Don Muang) has a golf course between the two runways. I once had a golf ball bounce off the runway in front of the aircraft on roll out after landing. We mentioned it to ATC. Ther reply was. "Yes, that happens sometimes".
