Meet Rob O'Neill of SEAL Team 6, who squeezed the trigger on the night of Operation Neptune Spear

Quote:
"There was a golf course nearby," says Rob O'Neill, a member of SEAL Team 6. "I can't say for certain that I saw it, because I had a lot going on in my head. But I knew where it was, and I kind of looked for it off to my left on our final approach to Osama bin Laden's house. A golf course. It made the mission feel, well, different. As far as I knew, there hadn't been any golf courses in Afghanistan or Iraq. We're going into a place where they have golf courses, I thought. Abbottabad must be a civilized place." And for about the thousandth time, he asked himself, How did a guy from Butte, Montana, ever end up here?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.
