    Golfing "Sort of"

    Well golf is not my game but as it was a entire kilted team I will be a sport about playing 18 holes in 90+ heat.
    so i wore my U.S Army Poly kilt (USA) and hit the links.
    Well my buddy mike handed me a balll and asked if i wanted to tee off first. "Sure" i said, so with about 3 other 4somes watching i whacked the ball. Every one was surprised when the ball went off. A good practical joke was played on me, and it was all in all a great day. More photos to come.

    This actually brings up a question... I picked up new clubs on the weekend, and will be going kilted. Does anyone ever bother to wear a sporran while on the field? Or do you just store them until your game is done?

    Usually, I leave my sporran in the cart.

    Great picture, great prank.
