Would you rather shoot a 67 the 1st day of Spring 2020 or win a $1000 lottery the same day while shooting a 95?

Not even close.  Shoot 67.  It would be my personal best, and likely never to be repeated, let alone beat.

Shooting 67 would require supernatural intervention.  It would not be me shooting a 67. What good is that? I'll take the money and keep working on my own game.

If I ever shot a 95, my clubs would be in pieces (I might take a 95 at Augusta though) and $1000 isn't nearly enough to buy new ones. I'll take the 67.  Add another 0 to the cash and I might consider it.

A 95 is an average day at the park for a hacker like me. I'll take the $1000.

I'll happily take the 67, which is better than my personal best by 4 and would also be on a much harder course (rating 72 or greater you said), whereas my 71 was on a par 70 rated 69. Yes, the $1000 could buy me a different memory, like playing Pebble (it's in my neck of woods so no additional travel expense really), but as they say: "you can't buy game", so it's unlikely I could buy something equivalent (say a hole in one on #7 at Pebble?).  Even if that 67 is a fluke to never be repeated. It's still be a cool story for a long time. :beer:

Easy.  The experience of having a new career low is easily worth $1000.  Hell, I'd take a 69 over the money

Almost jinxed myself.  Was tracking towards 69 before fading at the end.  But I was playing from winter tee boxes and it wasn't the first day of the season so it wouldn't have counted anyway.

They raised them, but not by a lot. Priv. I, which is what I got went from $450 to $475. 

Priv II went from $850 to $950. Given how well they keep up the courses, I think I am going to pass and look for a better option. There are too many private courses offering great deals. They may not be as close, but they aren't THAT much further.

Fancy man.

I've heard about some of those deals, but they still aren't in my limited golf budget.

Be curious to learn where you end up.

Would you rather play golf with Santa Claus at the North Pole and receive the present of 2 holes-in-one in that round or play golf with Tiger Woods and have him beat you by 35 strokes while looking away from his drained putt on 18 to shake your hand?

I'm going with the TWoods scenario. Getting beat by 35 playing against Woods would be a better conversation piece. 

Also, I have been told that pace of play at the North Pole is ridiculously slow when Santa is playinh. 

Besides, I already have some hios.

I'd not want to golf in the cold weather regardless of my partner.   I'll take the round with Tiger and hopefully it's warm!

I’ll take Santa because that’s a much better story than playing with someone who actually exists.

Also @Double Mocha Man stop breaking the rules. Post your answer before commenting on others.

I choose Santa because I've never made a hole-in-one in two feet of snow.  And because I don't want a lump of bituminous coal in my stocking next year.

Santa is now trending up.

Heck, as much as I love Tiger, I’ll take playing with Santa over getting whooped by Tiger. With two holes in one, I could win.

I’ve never had a hole in one, so I’ll take Santa!

    • Day 191 (09 Nov 24) - After band rehearsal and afternoon yard work, broke out the 8i and hard foam balls to work on low pitches.  Main emphasis was on foot (especially the lead) position, hip rotation and ball position.  Spent time between each shot reflecting on the results of the previous swing. Making small adjustments as needed.  
    • Seconding the aimpoint thing. I had a tournament a couple of weeks ago. Had a putt from the fringe about 25 feet. I looked at it and I thought it looked flat, then went to do my aimpoint and I was trying to figure out the left right break, but realized I was on quite a downslope. Turned sideways to do it the other way and estimated about a 3% slope downhill. Basically straight. It was on a green with two tiers and I was all on the top tier. It's a hole that's benched into a slope and I think relative to the slope around me it just looked flat. My feet told me otherwise and I hit that putt like it was six inches and got it to tap in distance. If I had only relied on my eyes I'd have been chipping from off the green (literally - greens were very fast and the hole was only 6-8 feet from the tier. That ball would have gone off the green. When I got in the clubhouse afterwards people were talking about how many putts they had on that green. Combine that with my having four-putted 4 holes earlier (another tier was involved in that one except I had to go down it). I was thanking my lucky stars I did the aimpoint check. Use your feet. It might take you a little while to get used to it, but once you do, it's golden.
    • Agree.  Look at it from the side to determine if it's uphill or downhill. Also, look at the hole and determine the highest point of the hole.  That's the direction of uphill, at least near the hole.
