favorite major

[obsessedgolfer]

I love the us open it is amazing to see how hard the courses get for them

You just show yourself to be a complete donkey with that.

People like you are everything that is wrong with game of golf. Its snobby jerks like yourself that make me not like the tournament across the pond. Older isn't necessarily better in my book.

elsfan, how can you not appreciate the many absurd cultural nuances of the open? like that old bat who announces everyone at the first tee, risking bladder damage holding his urine all day just so he can be ready every 15 minutes. really, it takes 2 minutes to run to the loo and so i can't figure out why this guy makes a big spectacle of the day holding it in. i imagine we will have some colorful commentary when this guy's gears begin to loosen and he has to take a few breaks potty breaks.

Yeah, his tone needs some real help.

The Open was, however, the first stroke play event ever. Gotta give it some ups for that.

I guess if you search deep enough you can find beauty in anything. lol

I appreciate it. It is my least favorite major though.

Well we do agree on "The" Open.

I don't remember ever sitting down and watching the thing. I catch the results when I get home from the course. Next week, I'm watching.

[Elsfan]

Well we do agree on "The" Open.

Actually last year it could have been my favorite cause I got to see Mr.Europe Sergio blow it.

[obsessedgolfer]

i think the pga championship really needs to improve it is the weakest link out of all the majors. Probably because every other year tiger will just dominate and it will be a boring.

[JeffJ]

Whichever is next! I am seriously glued to the TV all four days of every major.

Snobby? No, I don't think so. The quote from you I was zeroing in on was 'British open not considered a major to me'.

In fact, the entire list you posted was: "1.U.S. Open 2.The Masters 3.Pga Championship 4.The Players Championship 5.John Deer Classic 6.My regional championship 7.Junior Golf Last in the world.British open not considered a major to me" If that doesn't exemplify chauvinistic snobbery then I struggle for an alternative definition. If I said 'The US Open is not considered a Major to me' and placed it the bottom of a similar list, you'd think I was an ignorant ass and I expect you would say so - and, you know something? You would be absolutely right. If your tone in doing so was robust then I think very few people would disagree with you - and I could not complain nor expect anyone else to come to my defense. As I said, one can legitimately argue that you prefer others but to suggest that the British Open isn't a Major is crackers.

The Masters because for me, it's the most exciting golf of the year. I just love the Sundays when the back 9 is a free for all and there is no way to know who will win it.

1. British open (open championship).
2. US Open - Like seeing the thick rough and watching people putting on glass like greens.
3. Masters - Prestigious and a lot of fantastic players, also the first major.
4. PGA Championship - It doesn't seem as special :s

[Hogan Fan]

By far the Masters is my favorite followed by the British then the US Open.
Is there a fourth? I think the Memorial should be the fourth.

[Three Putt]

1. The Masters...it's an absurdly immaculate tract, (plus I still think the board of directors run the USA), also seems the Pros are the most proud of the "Master's Champion" Title.

2. The Open Campionship....obviously moves to the best major when played at St. Andrews, sorry blue bloods...I like pure golf, keep your blooming flowers.

3. US open...sort of boring, but I watch

4. ????????

Hiya all.
I've gone for the Open.
The Masters is a good competition, and clearly the one of the moment, but seriously, how could you vote for the club that only allowed a black member in 1990. 1990! Just shocking.

Read the piece on the sandtrap website for more info.

Its all about the Open, the hardest one to win.
Masters is too fabricated for me

[Jeepthrills]

My list would be:

1. Masters. Much of it is because it is the first one of the year. I love all the tradition and the course is awesome.

2. US Open. Always ends on Father's Day. I get to play in the morning in an outing then come home and relax in front of the TV watching the final round.

3. Open Championship. I love the fact that coverage is on in the morning when I get home from playing. Great history at some of the orriginal courses.

4. PGA Championship. Someone had to come in 4th. It's still a major and it still has great players playing great courses. Not much bad to say.
