Tom Watson's because it has served him well and his turn means he can still compete in his 60s.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Duff Daddy!

I figured the question was meant for pros that are still alive today.  If it was ANY pro in the history of golf, I would go with Byron Nelson

Forgot about Oosthuizen, his for sure

I would take Zach Johnson or Dufnahhhs.  they have such a clean and efficient approach to hitting the ball, its annoying to see how easy they make it look.

if I just wanted to look cool and get the ladies wet, I would take Rory or Seung yul noh

I think for iron shots, I would love to have Adam Scott's swing. However when it comes to the driver and woods/metals, I would love to have Rory McIlroy's swing. For the short game and putting I like Mickelson's techniques and results. If I were to choose one player's swing for everything though I would love to have Rory McIlroy's just because I can't stand Adam Scott's belly putter and Mickelson is far too long in the backswing for me personally.

I am having an argument with myself between Robert Rock and Charl Swartzel. If I was forced I would go with Rock.

I am happy with my swing.  Not so happy where the ball goes after I make that swing.  So if I am going to dream of something, I want the ball to go where I think that I am aiming.

If I could "graft" something from the pro's into my game, it's the wedge and short game.  Putting / chipping / sand play.  That is really the biggest difference.

I am not saying that with a pro's short game I could be a pro, because I don't hit enough Fairways, greens, etc.  BUT that alone would probably be the biggest improvement on the score card.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

When you say "have", do you mean I get to take theirs and they have to have mine?  Ooooo!  Who's career do I want to ruin!

Jason Dufner for that tucked right elbow. Awesome Hogan like position coming into the ball. BAM!

Yours in earnest, Jason.
Call me Ernest, or EJ or Ernie.

I wouldn't want Adam Scotts just simply because I can't STAND the guy.  Absolutely HATE Adam Scott.  For 2 reasons mainly - 1.  THAT PUTTER MY GOD!  2.  He has the BIGGEST douche of a caddy on tour.  Absolutely HATE Steve Williams I want to punch him in the face everytime I see him.

I love Dufners waggle, I wish I could do that like he does, 6 or 7 times and then just boom start the swing, I can't though.  I rest my club on the ground at address for a few seconds.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
