Viral Golf

The kids like to speak about videos and memes going viral, and we've got a couple of those for you this morning.

Everyone has had this video, and thanks to thos that have sent me the link.  It's alternately called the longest 3' or 4' putt, and I just want to know where shotlink is when you need it:


Of course we'd all like to know how many takes it took...

The second virus is this rather dramatic photo:


Here's the background from the Guardian:
The two radically different realities, just metres apart, was what greeted a dozen or so migrants caught on the triple fence that marks the border between Spain’s north African enclave of Melilla and Morocco on Wednesday. After 200 had tried to scale the fence, Spain’s interior ministry said 20 people had made it to the enclave and another 70 remained perched on top of the fence for several hours. 
The photo was taken by José Palazón, of the migrant rights group Pro.De.In Melilla, after he noticed that some of the migrants had got caught on the fence in the area overlooking the golf course.
Here's the nut graph:
Each year thousands of Africans – many of whom have spent years travelling across north and sub-Saharan Africa – try to reach Europe by making it past the fortified fence that separates Morocco from the Spanish enclaves of Melilla and Ceuta. Many of them spend months living in makeshift camps on the Moroccan side, waiting for the opportunity to rush the fence.
It is quite the contrast, and a stark reminder of how lucky we all are.

That's all for now as work beckons...
