What's that whirring noise?

So Rico turns on the Golf Channel and there's a bunch of guys playing PGA golf at the Le Meridien Moscow Country Club. No, not a golf course in Moscow, Idaho or any of the other twenty-some Moscows in the United States, but a golf course in Moscow in Russia. Who knew?

Russia's first and only 18-hole par 72 (7015 yard, 6390 m) Championship Golf Course, home of the "Cadillac Russian Open", an event on the PGA European Challenge Tour, was designed by one of the world's finest golf architects, Robert Trent Jones Jr., built under the direction of Ivan Ivanovich Sergeev. In 1988 an idea became reality when construction began on what would become Russia's first 18-hole golf course. "The Golf Course", in Jones's words, "was designed to be a very traditional parkland course. From the back tees, it has sufficient length and difficulty to host any type of championship tournaments." The deep Russian forest with large evergreens, birch, native wildlife and songbirds complete a magnificent setting.

In addition to the course, there's a clubhouse, a hotel, and a sport club, including a pool.Rico says the whirring noise? Lenin, in his tomb, of course...
