These Guys are Good!

Operation 19th Hole is underway. Several bases in have Iraq have now installed driving ranges and putting areas for our deployed men and women. All that is lacking is the equipment to put these new facilities to good use.

If you have something to contribute or would like to assist in the gathering effort please contact me at Op19thHole@earthlink.net
