The timer really added a new factor to this.

There was one last time, but I lowered it to 3 minutes this time to add some pressure. Was it too low?

It wasn’t unreasonable. You know it or you don’t.

I propose a new rule:

If you post your own game, please specify if you’re using exact location where the camera is versus Google Maps label of the course.

Me, a west coaster, trying to identify new york golf courses and just guessing long island over and over

Just look at Google Maps 6 hours a day like me, you’ll learn where things are soon enough.

2nd Place :eyes: I knew all that time not working and looking at golf courses on Google Maps would be worth it!

Combo of street viewing golf courses ant work every day and being from here helped.

Summary

Mixed up Van Cortlandt and Dyker - was 50/50 and went with VC with it being more well known/historic. Was DANGEROUSLY close on the rest. Pound Ridge is close to my house but don’t expect people to know it — though I should’ve known @golf4miami would sneak Pete in there

Has anyone tried this Geo Hunter game?

It’s very addicting and trying to get under the 200 points is really more luck of the draw but dammit if it hasn’t sunk its calws into me.

I don’t understand if some of them are like you want a country with the most crime or the least crime. I got DR Congo and was like “well, that’s a high crime neighborhood” and it was 100+

Yeah, I’ve seen some ranks that def don’t seem to match. It is the highest crime rate, the lower to number/higher rank

I did get a career low for me earlier today:

Worse than walking 300yds only to get randomly shot in the head by an unseen enemy?
