If you go to a public course with some friends, drink like a fish, and just have fun. Golf doesn't have any of that environment. Now I take it you are in the UK from what you say, so maybe its different. But I can go to a public course

I have this complaint about a lot of more modern history, which is that the idea of the great man theory is so abhorrent that some historians have started to treat the concept of free will as non-existent where the forces of history are so

Egg production fell because of avian flu, which the US has regulatory restrictions limiting the usage of the vaccine in agriculture compared to other developed nations. Its not an intentional crisis.
