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

      Day 188 (06 Nov 24) - Played the Weds men’s group scramble today as I won’t be able to play Fri.  Our group started on the back nine - shot a PB 38 on the back (7pars and 2 bogies). 2-over at the turn and reality returns with a dbl-par-dbl start.  Settle down to 3 pars, 3 bogies, a tap in birdie that missed eagle by less than 2 inches.     This was on 7, nice drive with 110 to the flag (this is normally a Pw for me, but the weaker lofts the the DCI irons had me play up to the 9i.  Solid swing and it rolls this close).   I was playing the old DCI 962 irons w/Rifle 6.0 shafts - man those things are still some sweet playing irons.  Finished with +6 on the front for a 42 and overall score of 80.

      I'm looking forward to it! Funny thing is that I really didn't play much this year either, and no 18-hole rounds. Among other things, I had surgery to repair a hernia, which I know about in June but put off until early September. Mostly played just my Friday night league, although I am playing tomorrow at NKGC. It's winter rates so a flat $39. I'm planning to walk, which I always do for 9, but will likely cut the round short at the 12th hole.
