Another hazard to avoid...

What a great story:
Yellowknife's golf course was shut down on Friday after an unarmed missile fell off a Canadian Forces CF-18 jet and landed on the driving range.

Just what I need! I can barely hit the fairways and green at the best of times, and now they are dropping bombs on courses! That's it, I'm taking up crocheting. Less risk of serious injury.
Maj. Rob Carter said it was a real missile, not a practice or training device. Carter said the safety systems were on and there was no danger of the missile exploding.

The bomb fails to explode, meanwhile my game inplodes! What kind of trade-off is that???
Kennedy said he was forced to cancel a major golf tournament and there's no word when golfers can return to the course.

Well they should consider themselves lucky! Hey Chappy, Yammers... any plans on going north this summer?
