3G = Ghana, Golf and Goats

Mr Secretary,

After a fine game of golf at the Celebrity Golf Club in Accra Ghana today, there
ensued a discussion on whether the course was to be qualified as a goat track
or not. The participants in the earlier match between Ghana and China did not
seem to be occupied too much with this issue, nor was I as my golf partner
and I had won the game by the time we Teed off the 16th hole. The cool Star
beer afterwards helped settle the issue, the caddies received a nice tip and
we all agreed that, as nobody had lost a ball in the lagoon nor was anyone
bitten by a viper, plus that the scorecards were sponsored by Porsche, the
course was not quite a goat track. With that, I humbly report my visit to a
new country. MvH

Bob Sahib @ One Tuna Beach

Mr Secretary,
Lovely Lion Lager on the Beach of Unawatuna, Sri Lanka! You would love it here even more than India - colonial and clubby for sure, yet cleaner, fewer touts, and dynamism post civil war! Bob v/d Z
