A smoggy day in Beijing Town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
Smog delayed golf had lost its charm

I'd post the photos directly, but this being Getty Images, I think I'd better do the links instead.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

It's bad over there.  I've been to Shanghai, Guangzhou and a few other cities and thought they were bad.  I have not been to Beijing, but I have heard it is the worst.  When you can't see the mountains 5 miles away, it is bad.

Used to be that way in So. Cal., my aunt recounted not ever knowing there were mountains over Pasadena. I wonder if China will switch to electric cars anytime soon?

It's the coal power plants and coal used for heating and cooking that is the major cause.  Electric cars would really just shift the problem back to the power plants.

True.

Last month, I noticed a lot of solar panels on many of the factory rooftops. Hopefully, that will mitigate some of the demand as well.

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      A sand trap is not supposed to have 3 inches of water in it. To me that’s temporary, casual water. Just like if your ball lands in a deep rain puddle in the middle of the fairway. I would have gladly hit out of any spot in that bunker. I understand that it’s a different rule. I just think it’s a dumb rule. You are penalized because it rained.  Here’s what I think is the dumbest rule in golf, and all sports for that matter - professionals playing for millions of dollars in a tournament have to carry around a little pencil and scorecard to keep their score and sign it, when there are big scoreboards all over the course and on tv. Can you imagine the Knicks losing because they didn’t count their score correctly? Like I said, I love the game, but it’s time to move into the 21st century already.

      Could course committee have an MLR option to declare this bunker GUR?

      Sorry, I will disagree. You got a penalty because you hit it somewhere and didn't want to play it from there. Bunkers are not the general area. If you had hit it into temporary water in the general area, you'd be entitled to relief. You hit it into a hazard, a bunker. Why should you get free relief when you hit it into a bunker? If someone else hit it into a different part of the bunker, without water, they'd not get a drop for free out of the bunker. Heck, it'd cost them two strokes if they didn't have an ACC and wanted to drop it out of the bunker.
