Would You Rather...? #23: Play a round of golf at a slow pace (5+ hours) with great company, or play at your preferred pace but paired with obnoxious playing partners?

I would pick my buddies, mainly because I miss the three of them since I moved.  On the other hand, two of them have no patience for slow golf and would pick the faster round.

Definitely hole out from the fairway twice a year for the rest of my life. An eagle on a par four is -2. A hole in one is -2. Two awesome shots/year would be something to look forward to forever.😃

You know, immediately after I posted my previous post I started thinking I may have gotten it wrong, primarily because of the O-Value. I'll revisit that in a bit, though… Not that much lower.

I’ve done both in a day....but they sold nachos at the Putt-Putt so that helped.

"Would you rather is  one of my favorite threads on this forum. So, I just thought I'd stick up a quick "Would You Rather" to spark non-virus related discussions:

Would You Rather...? #24: Win the US Open, Win the Open Championship, Win the PGA Championship or Win the Masters?

Yeah, I know there is more than two choices here @iacas. If that's illegal and you need to modify or take it down I'm cool with it. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I'm going to go out on a long limb here and say that most of us will want a green jacket. Me too.

Not me, brother. I'm going with the Claret Jug!

Here's my thought process. When I was living out in Europe, it seemed to be the most respected victory in golf for the folks out there. (Granted this was 25 years ago, but I'm guessing it might still be the same.) It's the oldest of the majors. It's played out where golf began. As an American I'd love to go out to the "Old World" and win The Open. Don't get me wrong a Green Jacket would be sweet. Winning the US Open would also be sweet. (Okay, winning any tournament is sweet.) But...

I wanna win the Claret Jug!!!!!

I think I’m gonna go with the Open. It’s the tournament I look forward to the most every year, and I love the challenge of links golf. Winning the Open would definitely be special to me.

Good point! You can drink from the Claret Jug.  You can't drink FROM the Green Jacket, but you can drink IN the Green Jacket.

Being a hack in middle america, I've gravitated slightly to the US Open. 

Aside from any patriotic tilt, the fact that amateurs can qualify for it is a factor. The fact that it is known for being one of the hardest tournaments of the season appeals to me as a viewer. 

I won't lie, The Greatest Game Ever Played story totally worked on me.

Definitely The Masters. I really don't care about the rest.

I like Tin Cup, but it didn't make me feel more warmly to the tournament than I did before.

The PGA Championship. Toughest field, and I'm a PGA members, so why not? I'd be revered among PGA members. 😉

And, it's the toughest major to win.

Do you say that because of the field of talent or the playing conditions?

That, clearly. The Masters has a field of about 60 people who could possibly win, and the Opens are about the same with all the qualifiers they allow. The PGA is by far the strongest field.

The Masters.  There are plenty of good reasons to select any of the others, but for me it’s a tradition unlike any other.   :-D

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
