    Ahh…the tee box, it’s where it all begins. We’ve all stood there, huddled on this scrap of grass while someone casually flips the tee to see who will take honors. It’s the prime setting for all pre-drive pageantry: the gloating, the waggling, the jeering. Then, a hush settles and it’s time to show and prove.

And as you aimlessly scratch your head and squint your eyes, looking for your ball in flight, there it lies with just enough gas to make it past the forward tees.

     I arrived in Morocco on an April morning after a long but pleasant flight from Qatar. As the terminal in Casablanca filled with the morning’s soft golden haze I felt as if I had traveled back in time.

The command is straightforward: scope the land, see the shot and execute.
