Our Maldives obsession is getting out of control.

We just heard that the One and Only Kanuhura allows golf hacks to drive balls off a resort owned jetty, Kramer style (pre-racist tirade), straight into the Indian Ocean.

Don't worry, the golf balls are biodegradable, and dissolve in about four days, so no fish will be harmed. However, four days is still plenty of time to clog a whale's blowhole, and do major damage, if there isn't a marine biologist nearby.

Seriously though, we are raising the paradise level on the Maldives from yellow to orange.
