WOULD YOU RATHER #34:

Would you rather watch the Super Bowl, have your favorite team win, drink too much, pork out on nacho chips & dip and feel like crap afterwards...

...or...

Play 18 holes and shoot 6 strokes below your best ever round?

B, easily.

Especially since you said a bunch of "and" stuff in the first thing, which means I could play golf and do all of the above minus the "feel like crap afterward" part.

I should have toned down A. to make the two more equivalent.

I don’t think it would’ve mattered with this crowd...a career best round by 6 strokes? That’s a no brainer

Definitely B.

Although I do love watching and getting hype for the Super Bowl every year, a personal best by six strokes takes the cake by a mile. My lowest score is 80, so that means a 74. Gimme the 74!!

Ah, is this really a question?
6 strokes below my best round. My best is a 76, so for me that would be a 70. No brainer.

Yep, I should have made the question more difficult to answer.  Maybe making it 4 strokes and no detrimental side effects from watching the Super Bowl. Other than being a KC fan...

Forget the stokes, Golf vs another Super Bowl that was over in the 1st half....Golf Wins.

I would have taken option B even if it was, “You get to play a round of golf on Super Bowl Sunday.”

It’s February and I live in NJ. Hell it snowed 6” today, on top of the 20” we got last weekend. I have a mountain of snow and ice 6’ tall at the end of my driveway.

If its either/or, I'd rather play golf.  But with the game coming on in the early evening on the east coast, I'd really rather do both.  And I've been lucky enough to have my favorite team win at least a few times, and old enough to remember it happening during my adult lifetime.

WOULD YOU RATHER #35

Would you rather watch the regular coverage of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am where you see a mixture of "Celebrities" and Tour Pros (the normal coverage of this tournament)

...OR...

Watch the same tournament but only see the Pros eliminating the "Celebrities"?  Assuming you view the same number of shots, just all shots you see would be the Tour Pros.

I'll take both Celebrities and Pros. Once in a while there's an interesting Celebrity. That and its kind of different so, why not?

I would rather Watch the same tournament but only see the Pros eliminating the "Celebrities".  Nothing against Bill Murray or the slew of CEOs they show but I do not care to watch them golf.  Show me the Tour Pros.

Several years ago the owner/CEO of the whole Whistling Straits complex, Herbert Kohler, was worth watching.  Even funnier that Bill Murray.  He had arguably the world's worst swing with the world's worst results.

I don't mind a few celeb shots here and there. Naturally, I'd prefer they be celebrities I've actually heard of. They can pick the best (or most entertaining) celeb shots and fit them in here and there. 

Like @ChetlovesMer said. It's a little bit of variety.

This is a tough one for me because I’d rather see Pebble Beach as a US Open venue than a lower tier event. If it is going to be a B event, then let the celebs play but don’t show them that much. If you are going to do it without celebs, then make it a tougher tournament.

Thank goodness they almost never show the remaining celebs on Sunday.  This Sunday there will be none to show... and I'm "forced" to watch the tournament because temperatures are in the 20's and it's snowing here.
