Greg and I aren't the only folks on the base with more time on their hands than they know what to do with - not by a long shot! The group of people that take care of the Air Force Ammo are right along with us trying to figure out how to spend their "extra hours" during deployment. They looked around the area and took inventory of their assets - namely a lot of empty ground between ammo bunkers - and decided it would be a perfect place for a golf course. 
The course they set up is 9 holes, each hole between 60-90 yds in length and complete with "greens" of raked dirt and a drilled in cup for the flagged hole! Quite amazing what they did with the space!
Greg and I managed to make a connection in this group for the express purpose of golfing on the course, which they are happy to share. Here we are practicing at the driving range. 
You can see the golf bags (missile launching tubes) only need 3 clubs: a 9 iron, a pitching wedge and a putter.
We had a great time hitting around and made plans to schedule a round of golf on a weekly basis until we departed the theater.
