Just curious, and I'm sure there's an older thread but maybe your view has changed. So what's your favorite major and non major to watch, on any tour. As far as majors, I lean towards the US Open. There's just something about watching the best gets their arse kicked by a course that makes me feel good. Lol. It's nice to know they are human. Non majors, I like the national pro am and the Accenture match play. With this being the last year at dove mountain, hopefully it will move to a course that more of the pros like and get the bigger names involved. I just like seeing the different formats in the lime light.

Masters - minimal commercials, lots of live streaming options. Non tour - any Euro tour event with a good field and course - usually fewer commercials and less yapping than US coverage.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Masters and the US Open.  I love watching the amatuers in both, and I especially enjoy the extremely difficult set-up in the Open.

The fact that it falls over Fathers Day weekend means I have a free pass to watch and play as much golf as I like too. :-D

1. Masters

2. US Open

3. British Open (yes, I still like to identify that as the British)

4. Ryder Cup

5. Accenture Match Play (with a decent field)

I would put the PGA on this list if it went back to match play.

Without question and for many reasons I like watching the Masters best.  My second choice is the US Open.

I also like watching the Match Play in Tucson.  Match play is the only way you get to see the man on man competition.  Make for some exciting shots that you would never see attempted in stroke play.

Major - Has to be the Masters Non-Major - AT&T; Pro Am @ Pebble. Not so much the celebrities but that course gets me everytime. I will definitely be in attendance when the US Open returns to Pebble in a few years.

And it's fun to see superstars in other sports struggle like the rest of us at golf. Lol

The Masters has to be at the top of my list for majors, I think that it has something to do with the strategy of placing your approach shots and still being able to go low scorewise. I hate watching Pebble Beach because of the amateur coverage but I love the Waste Management tourny.

Definitely the Masters - Good coverage, new season beginning, great time of year and tradition.  Favorite non-major - the Phoenix Open (recently called the Waste Management Open until another sponsor takes over).

Masters The Open (British) - it's just fun to watch them play the "different" game that those courses impose in them.

I'd say Masters, mostly because it's the first major of the year and I always get excited for it.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
