Would you rather play only one round all year, but it's at Augusta National, or play unlimited golf at your local course/club?

I'd choose Augusta.  I only played about 10 times this year as it is, and I'd definitely trade that offensive pile of hacks for one glorious day at the National.

I would need to practice full swing shots though.  My short game would definitely be rusty, but I think a first-timer should expect their short game to suck at Augusta under any conditions.

This was too easy. I personally don't even get that excited about celebrity courses. I live 2 miles from Torrey and could play there all the time if I wanted to. But it wouldn't necessarily be more fun than hanging with my buddies at our home course.

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

In the "Golfing Experience," the course, IMO, means little when compared to the action of playing golf.  I play to have fun and to, hopefully, be constantly improving.  If my travels brings me across Augusta, GREAT! It'll be a tough challenge at a beautiful course, but I play to beat myself more than the course.  So, I chose unlimited golf, no question.

Definitely unlimited golf.  I would love to play Augusta but not at the expense of giving up an entire seven month season.  I would trade a week off from golf for one round at Augusta (or Pine Valley here in NJ), but that's about it.

Unlimited. But I like playing different courses, so I still would not limit myself to just my home course. So for me unlimited at my home course equates to playing there 1-3 times a week, and at least once every two weeks at a different course. That would be a realistic scenario for me.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
