It would be really tough to decide between #1 and #2 but I'd probably opt for #2.

 

If I could make up my own group I'd play with Trevino, Couples and Charlie Sifford. I interviewed Sifford many years ago and he had some great stories...a few of which i could actually use (after some editing 😳 ). 

 

That would be a memorable day on the course to say the least.

Great answer, Charlie used to play at a course outside Houston when I first moved there in the early 80's. He was very friendly, and could tell quite a tale.

Players play, tough players win!

It was 1973-ish and I was a college kid listening to a legend. The only thing I really remember about the interview was him talking about winning his first US Negro Open. I wasn't that naive but hearing that come out of his mouth was sobering. Or something.

Sorry to derail the topic here but I hadn't thought about that in a long time.

My old but trusty bag is filled with clubs I built...Integra SoooLong 450 10.5°, Jackaroo II 13* 16* 23*  hybrids, Dynacraft irons and wedges...plus a sweet Tad Moore Peach putter.

An experience to last a lifetime....

As would the round..!

 

I'd pick group 4 although I'd like to follow group 2.   I can see group 4 having a good time on the golf course.   ie..."hold my beer, watch this..."

Definitely group 2 for me. No desire to play with Player so he kills group 1 for me.

Group 2. GOAT, the Escape Artist and Rory’s beautiful swing. My choice.

Group 1, Love to talk with Jack and Arnie, but would not want to listen to Gary Player drone on about himself.

Group 3, would be cool watching the power twins and Bubba bending it.

Group 4, would be cool too. Pound for pound some of the strongest players.

Group 5, not household name but still Pros.

6.My group would be 

#Patrick Reed

#Jordan Speith

# Club Pro Guy.

# Me

That would make for an interesting 18 holes of Golf. 
Speith and Reed have to share a cart as well.

Club Pro Guy and myself would be in another.

Venue would be  The International Golf Club's Pines Course in Bolton, Mass just for laughs as it is the longest course @ 8325 yards short.

 

Remember its just a game.....more serious than life and death.

I don't know those guys.

I'd much rather play with three of my friends.

But that's just me, I guess.

Oh my dear friend how can you play this incredible game and not know or heard of one of those names. These are legends that will live on in the winds of golf. I’m truly sorry or the biggest sucker ever

I picked Group 4, and if we were playing a fourball, I would probably take Jordan as my partner. I’ve heard really good things about all of them, and it would probably be an enjoyable and relaxing round.

WITB:
Woods: Cleveland Launcher (Driver, 17 degree, 22 degree)
Irons: Titleist T200 (4-PW)
Wedges: Callaway Jaws (50/54/60)
Putter: Odyssey White Hot

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      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.

      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.
