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...

      Day 26 (16 Feb 25) - Basically a repeat of yesterday- only it was a bit more expanded chips/pitches - 7i, 9i, 50° and 58°.   Big exception was I was hitting groups of 5 one club at a time.  Focused on a specific target point - and coming smoothly through the ball, not punchy.  Got it right about 3 out of 5 - more work needed.

      You probably haven't turned much and instead have just pulled your left arm across your chest.

      Things didn’t work out with the cutting horse barn my wife was working for there in Virginia. Their Texas facility we were supposed to move down to ended up delayed for at least an extra year after they’d had us leave Virginia to meet them down there “shortly”. So we ended up getting some land by her family in Missouri and building a house of our own down here instead. Not as many courses, but there is one 5 minutes from the house that’s only $62/mo for both of us to be members at and other nicer ones within a reasonable drive as well.    @Rick_D I’ll try to remember to let you know when I’m heading up that direction. It may happen more frequently in the coming year since a dealer for a business I started recently is based out of St Charles so making deliveries myself might be more economical than shipping.

      I don’t know why my swing got so vertical there. That wasn’t normal.    What did you mean by point 3? I get the hip turn portion.
