When asked about maximum range, the Captain would only say that "It'll go a fairway".

True, but they still only play with a Putter instead of a Driver.

Having listened to complaints from the Ships Warrant Officer, the deck has been turfed over to allow him to practice his "SAILOR, GET OFF THE GRASS" and his "MAN OVERBOARD" routines

As we haven't any aircraft to use, It's been installed as an MOD subterfuge for talking to the Government, the two sandpits have been named Iraq and Afghanistan, the lakes are named the Med, the Adriatic, the South China Sea and the Pacific, the green is the Falkands and the fairway is known as South Korea, thus when a hotspot flares up and the Government ask for troop deployment figures, the MOD sends us a signal, we put people out on the course playing a round, we then report back that the Navy has troops actively engaged in the Iraqi sandpit etc, which the MOD then transmit on to the ministers concerned, and it seems to be working.
