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

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

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.

      By saevel25 ·

      Not sure, I think players have their own pace. Speith was always slow, regardless if he was in contention or not. Well, more so when he was in contention. It might be a push there on that question.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Without knowing the study at all, this could be more of a reflection of who is tournament ready and who isn't. If you have a quick trigger, it could mean your swing is working really well. Fidgeting, lots of rehearsals, maybe means your swing's not functioning as well as you'd like it to and you need more time to feel it all out before you hit your shot.

      A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.

      Vintage PING Hoofer Lite - How to Adjust Straps?

      By Gregsfolly ·

      I recently picked up a vintage Ping Hoofer Lite carry bag.  I am not sure how old it is but estimate it is probably from around 2012 or so? I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps! I am going to try to attach a picture of the bag and will also describe it below. I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps in a way that makes the bag comfortable to carry.  The bag also seems to want to be more upright/ vertical than how you would normally carry a bag like this. I have tried to search this site and others on the web but almost all info is on the newer ping Hoofer bags which have quite a different design. The bag is pretty minimal in terms of pockets and has no handle on the top.  It has 2 backpack straps that are not connected to each other.  They are connected to the top of the bag and in the middle of the bag above the primary ball/ gear pocket. Any feedback appreciated, thanks for your help!
