The burka is worn mainly in Afganistan and it's much more conservative. You could never play golf in a burka. They're both ways for women to follow hijab which is the modest islamic dress code for women. It's interpreted differently in different countries. Personally I'm going to bring both...just in case. Probably in several stylish colors. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/william.wolfrum/2006/11/17/can_golf_turn_the_tide_in_iran_and_the_m#c44491 Ron Mon [Member] in response to: Can golf turn the tide in Iran and the Middle East?

They are Persian, not Arabs. And they appreciate the western culture.<br /> <br /> They deserve our help the most, whereas in Iraq, it is a country made up by three rival fractions - Sunni, Shitte, and Kurds. Removing Sadamm simply remove the obstacles for them to embark in a civil war. Same thing would not happen in Iran.

That said, I've got an invite to play The Flower of The East as soon as it's finished, now I just need the regulation chador. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/william.wolfrum/2006/11/17/can_golf_turn_the_tide_in_iran_and_the_m#c44446
