[simpits-tech] don't golf on an AFB

I was briefly in the USAF and while down at Willford Hall in San Antonio, I
would play golf on their course.  It, too, was right next to a runway, but
they only have C-5's doing touch and go's there.  Now you want to talk about
distraction.  I would hear the unmistakable whine of those mammoth engines
and look up and, if the sun was just right, would get a gigantic shadow cast
down over me while playing.  Shot my best game on that course.  Blame my
game today on the fact that I can't play unless there are C-5's lumbering
overhead.  They weren't fighters, but there were still pretty fun to watch.
