     Better yet, have an event on a golf course, and hold the melee and 
     golf game simultaneously!!
     
     I can hear the [golf tournament typical] dialogue now...
     
     [...and as he lines up on the tee, Al, I can't help but wonder if his 
     nerves have settled from that rather odd hazard he played right into 
     on hole number 10...]
     "Yes, Dave, that was rather unexpected.  That may well be the first 
     time in modern history that anyone has seen a moving hazard, 
     especially one that runs over the golfer..."
     [...he's lining up his shot...only needs a par to move into a 
     commanding lead on the rest of the field...and]
     "Whoa, Dave, here they come again!!  His guard's formed up around him, 
     but they look rather whipped from their last encounter with-"
     *SMASH**WHACK*
     [...and it's in the air!  Rather wobbly, but at least he got this one 
     off!  Decent distance, especially considering the circumstances, don't 
     you think, Al?]
     "Dave, that was a classic case of courage under fire.  However, he may 
     be penalized for unsportsmanlike use of a golf club...no, wait, I have 
     a ruling from one of the judges that declares that rule is only valid 
     if the golfer attempts to STRIKE anyone, and that blocking is valid, 
     so this shot is good, whenever it lands..."
     
     
     
     ANYWAY...
