Would You Rather Number 72:
 

Would you rather have a legitimate 5 handicap but every round you play the other 3 people in your foursome are playing off a 20.
Or
Would you rather have a legitimate 10 handicap but every round you play the other 3 people in your foursome are scratch or better. 

Being a hack, I generally feel more comfortable playing with other hacks. However, since the question presumes I'd be no worse than a 10 handicap, I'd slightly prefer the 2nd option. 

I'm no gambler and wouldn't really feel put out shooting worse that the scratch guys. I'd assume the rounds would be faster. There are exceptions, but too many of my fellow hacks blow by their three minutes searching for golf balls.

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.

      The early St Andrews hole diagrams weren’t just maps—they actually named hazards like “Coffins,” “Cat’s Trap,” and “Lion’s Mouth.” You can almost read how the hole was meant to be played just from the illustration. I’ve been restoring a few of these recently—curious if anyone here has come across others like this?

      Day 20, April 28.  6-iron and PW, mostly the 6-iron, 30 balls in my indoor practice room.  I also did a few balls putting on the ruler but didn't count what I was doing (it was more doing 6-10 balls a few times while something loaded in another room for work)

      Day 50 (28 Apr 26) - best drills ever as it was a nine-hole captain’s choice with grandson as part of the group (our church men’s group monthly outing) - great session of course management and just being relaxed behind the club.

      I've been using Gatorade Zero powder that I get at WalMart.  Sometimes Propel, which I think is more or less the same thing.  Before a round of Spring/Fall golf, I'll often prepare a two-quart pitcher of water and two of the packets, then partition that (with some ice) into water bottles.  In the summer, I'll do that plus some more (so maybe 3Q of total water, more when the ice melts, which it does because my bottles aren't perfectly sealed I guess).  The suggestion of Ultima Replenisher sounds like something I'll give a try.
