That's nothing. Google China, train, new year and look at the images.

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

Yeah... I might get a motor bike if I go there. That looks horrible.  I'd be so stressed/pissed off at everybody around me. I'd almost have to drink and drive.

Okay, looking at the photo more closely, I take back what I said because this is pretty epic:

I've experienced 10 - 2 maybe 15 - 2, but that's like what, 40 - 4. Seriously, I'd shoot myself by the time I get to that bottleneck.

These are provincial and border crossing areas. The normal traffic jams are about as bad as the 101 freeway in LA. G4 is the worst road in China. I totally gave up driving there. . .

I took this when I was in Shanghai a few years back. When the traffic light changes, everyone just keeps going. This wasn't a bad one either.

that explains why bicycles are preferred mode of transportation for the majority of people in China.

One of the downside of economic progress, I guess.

Yes! I have said this about Chinese taxi drivers for the last 12 years. A red light is merely a suggestion that you might want to consider stopping. Many near death experiences, including a collision with a guy on a bicycle with 5 chickens on the back in a cage. They argued with each other for 5 minutes meanwhile I wondered off to another taxi.

Give the police ticket quotas like we have over here and you'd see their problems come to an end real quick. I'm now picturing a Chinese cop rolling up in gold plated squad car. :-)

At least they obey the speed limit! The drivers I've had in China will not go over the limit. Now in Poland, slowing down to the limit is a sigh of weakness!

That's because it's so congested, they can't! :-P

      Which Aim Point Is Correct for One Cup Outside?

      By GolfLug ·

      A cup out is B and a ball out is Z. A cup is a unit of measurement like an inch and a ball out means edge of the ball to edge of hole, as in entire ball out of the cup. Not sure how and when I arrived at that, but that's where I'm firmly at.

      Which Aim Point Is Correct for One Cup Outside?

      By iacas ·

      Because there's a difference between a ball and a hole. A ball is easy to imagine "replace this ball with the one you're hitting," while a hole provides an "edge" and isn't really something you'd "replace" with the ball you're putting. I'm fully on board with "B" being the choice above, but I also think that many would choose "Z" if you say "a ball out." I get their logic: the entire ball is "out" of the hole, and people can picture aiming their ball at that ghost ball. But, yes, it differs from the way we talk about a hole, and that would make "left lip" and "half a ball out" the same. Yes, it feels inconsistent, but a cup and a ball are not consistent either, and I just know I've seen some contentious polls on "a ball out" more than I've seen them get contentious over "a cup out." FWIW I rarely use balls as the aiming point because of this. I feel pretty comfortable that most people will say B, but I've seen enough "ball out" polls to see that a lot of people pick Z. Yeah, I was bugged by you saying something that was almost a half inch difference at Sand Valley. 🙂 I forget the details but I think I asked if you played it a ball out (1.68") and you said something like "yeah, half a cup (2.125")." Then I said "which is it?" and you said "they're the same thing" as if the half inch didn't matter… 😄 Heh.

      Sounds like perhaps too much ulnar.

      Which Aim Point Is Correct for One Cup Outside?

      By DaveP043 ·

      For me, "a cup out" means I am aiming at a spot just over 4 inches outside the edge of the actual hole, #2.  For "a ball out" I'm doing the same thing, aiming at a spot about 1.7 inches outside the hole.  Its a lot more crucial for "cup" measurements, the difference between #1 and #3 is over 4 inches, enough that a misunderstanding could result in a complete miss.  When the difference is 1.7 inches, a misunderstanding might mean the difference between left-center and right-center.

      By klineka ·

      Why? The size of the ball is constant just like the size of the hole is constant. People might be better at gauging the size of the hole better than the size of the ball but the exact same logic should apply, right?
