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 second this sentiment

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.

For all of you who chose $1000 I hear the checks are in the mail.  For the rest of you I can't wait until March 19 to hear all about your 67's.

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.

I will take the money and run.

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!

 And Santa Claus is much more famous than Tiger Woods.  He also knows the game and I am pretty sure he can play.  After all he has been bringing me golf gear every year since I can remember and it's always exactly what I need.
