Programming alert: New In Play with Jimmy Roberts examines golf in Israel

In 1993, I went to Israel for the first time. To decompress after the long flight, we went to a resort town outside Tel Aviv.

What was the first thing I saw in Israel? We drove by a golf course.

Holy Land, indeed.

Unfortunately, my wife quashed any notion of playing on the course, one of the two in Israel at the time. She didn?t come all the way to Israel to watch me hit wicked slices into the Mediterranean.

Turns out it was a different story for Hunter Mahan. The latest edition of In Play with Jimmy Roberts (Tuesday, 10:30 p.m. ET, Golf Channel) features a Tim Rosaforte report on a trip Mahan, Amy Alcott and other golfers made to Israel last fall. During the goodwill mission, the golfers found themselves close to the violence that plagues the region.
