8/10 on the city streets map, and 9/10 on the subway map. :beer:

Oh, and I actually KNEW Moscow immediately - did not guess on that one (like I may have on a couple of others) or take advantage of the subtle hints.

Streets 7/10.

Subways 8/10.  (Had a couple lucky guesses on this one.)

6/10 and 7/10. I guess city planning is not one of my areas of expertise. :-P

9/10 (damn Venice!) and 6/10. The non-US subways really killed me.

Is this a Rorschach test?

There are two things it can be, but since this is a family-friendly forum, you're left to your own devices figuring out what those things are!

Anyway...

All of the streets, nine of the subways. For some reason, I thought Seattle had a more expansive transit network than it actually does.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...


7/10 on both. Much better than I thought I'd do.....

In David's bag....

Driver: Titleist 910 D-3;  9.5* Diamana Kai'li

    • Totally, but keeping the ball in line i will keep you a LOT more out of trouble.    I agree! but still, in average greens are more depth than wide so what you are showing are less normal in golf courses. Take the time and you will see that even on your own home course you have a lot more greens that have more depth than width.  So having less dispersion sideways is better than in depth just because of how greens are made in general.  Also average greens generally have more danger sideways than directionally so makes it even more important to keep it straight. Perception of reality is on thing, numbers that backup your ideas is another. 
    • I'm in a bit of a transition, at my home course I play the Blue tees most of the time, the regular men's tees.  But many weekdays I play with a group of retired players, and play the "senior" tees, close to 600 yards shorter.  I've set up two lines in the "home" compilation page, one for the regular tees, and one for the senior tees.
