With some tree removal, they could have a skyline green there...
So I jump ship in Hong Kong....

Pace of play shouldn't be an issue.  :)

Probably the only course in the world with years of forced labor as a penalty due to a lack of etiquette.

Looks like that guy topped it so bad he could have put his hand out after his swing finished and caught the ball.

Wildly off topic, but a golf buddy recommended a novel about the PRK that has haunted me since with a morbid fascination with that land.  I don’t have it at hand, but remember the title as “The Orphan Master’s Son.”  Good read, no golf, but beware of sticking something in your head that you can’t get rid of.  This a golf-themed reminder of “reality is what we say it is.”
