I love Judas Priest, and I hate golf. Played once and by the time I got around to the 7th hole (meaning I actually got the ball into the whole) I was ready to kill myself. And it didn´t get any better with the remaining 11 holes

Beware of Nightcrawlers in the sand traps, Loch Ness in the drink and Manalishis on the greens. And you what they say, there two types of shots: Diamonds and Rough.

This is pretty cool, though.
