[quote]An al-Qaeda (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria or ISIS) allied group in Syria has enlisted Tinky Winky in its fight for hearts and minds of Syrians.One of al-Qaeda’s fatal mistakes in Iraq during the war there was alienating the Iraqi people, who turned against the group that had killed so many civilians and imposed severe Islamist rule. Now, as al-Qaeda-allied factions are pushing into Syria, they’re endeavoring to project a softer, fuzzier image. That’s recently included, for example, a family fair in rebel-controlled Aleppo, complete with ice cream eating contests and sermons about jihad.
Now al-Qaeda’s campaign for Syrian hearts and minds apparently includes toy give-aways, some of them a bit surprising for a group dedicated to total war against Western culture.

The video showed a gathering there for the Eid al-Fitr religious holiday, held by the al-Qaeda-allied faction Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The group, whose name is abbreviated as ISIS because it uses the traditional word “al-Shams” for the Levant, changed its name from al-Qaeda Iraq just a few months ago. The event appears to be a combination of al-Qaeda sermonizing – mostly to children – and a toy giveaway.[/quote]

I’ve played about ten much more rounds with my irons considering the fact that then, and I've to say, I’ve never ever hit the ball better.

But 1 day I was headed over for the driving range of my golf club, and I saw the Callaway demo tent set up.
