and "funnel" greens, which if you get your ball on green the elevation will suck the ball into the cup. The Ananti CC is located in North Korea near Kum-Kang Mountain and they are open for membership from 8/15 and on. They are also holding an open house for people interested in "test driving" their course. Oh and the par 7 is the longest in the world at 1014 yards. I will try to find some pics to put up - not even sure if they are available.

You can call: 82(country code) - 2 - 553 - 5564. I am pretty sure you will have to speak in Korean though.

I considered using this opportunity to visit North Korea (it is closed off from non-Communist countries, I think the only airline that flies into North Korea is China Airline) but my friend went on a cruise tour (this is the only other way into North Korea, I'm sure they need the money) and he said the first day he got massive food poisoning and was on the toilet for a week.

Anyways here are some pics (none of the par 7 yet)

According to wikipedia, it'd be a "Vulture". Equivalent of a Hole-In-1 on a par 5.... I could've sworn I looked this up a month or so ago and it was called a "Condor"....oh wells, its wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf#Scoring OK, I found a site with it listed as condor. But then again, this site also has bird names listed through 15 OVER par, so I'm questioning the credibility... http://www.anyonefortee.com/Scoring/Birds.html

That is in fact the course I posted about. I guess they are ready to open up for Capitalism. I can't remember the exact figure but life time membership was I think around US$50,000 - 60,000.

what about that seems like a joke? The division between North and South Korea is a remnant of the cold war, hence their communist regime. As I mentioned afore, only China Airlines is allowed to fly into their restricted airspace. And for the lifetime membership - are you surprised that the fee is too low or too high? I'm sure there are memberships for cheaper and the most expensive one here in Seoul in like 2 or 3 million. That of course doesn't include the yearly fees.

Theres a course in egypt, its 24,000 something yards, you have to take a Jeep and a Tent to camp out because the course takes 2-3 days to finish. And its all one hole. I think the par is 340 something.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By GolfLug ·

      I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By gbogey ·

      I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.

      As long as it's from a reputable seller it should be just fine. Just make sure the picture of the weight looks the right shaped weight for that specific driver head. You can even weigh it yourself when you get it if you want to be extra sure. Personally I don't consider $15 for something that can greatly change your impact and delivery characteristics to be "not cheap" but that's just my opinion. Especially since you know it's bringing it closer to what you were fit into and you're already saving a bunch of money by going the used/prior model year route too.
