The Golf War is an ongoing military campaign which began on the 20 March 2003 with the multi-national coalition of the Allied nations who know how to play golf (and therefore exempting Australia).

| abstract
| - The Golf War is an ongoing military campaign which began on the 20 March 2003 with the multi-national coalition of the Allied nations who know how to play golf (and therefore exempting Australia). Dwarfing most tours, the Golf War is the biggest and most controversial of golfing events. Prior to the war, Iraq's alleged possesion of illegal clubs was claimed to pose a serious and imminent threat to Western national golfing laws, an assessment supported by U.K. intelligence services, but not by other nations such as France, Russia and Germany (which is fair enough, none of those nations have any golf courses). When no evidence of such clubs were found in Iraq, the Allies then accused Saddam Hussein of disrupting international golfing events in general, but the war has come under widespread scruntinisation and cricitism, as no-one likes having their favourite show being cancelled in favour of boring golf on the TV. __TOC__
