You just won the lottery worth 20 million US dollars! what would you do?

Figure out a safe way to invest the money so we could live very comfortably off the earnings.

Take care of my extended family in ways that will be meaningful to them. Spend time with the family doing things that they will remember forever.

Take $4 million and buy a few nice homes, cars and misc toys. Take the rest, put it away and live off the interest while traveling around playing golf!

I would golf, and buy this town in the midwest that I read about on CNN, 853K and you get 43 Pecan trees with it, not a bad deal if you ask me.

I'd buy a nice house overlooking the Ocean, then after I was settled I would buy one of those Golf Digest peg boards of the "100 Greatest you can play"
and go to work

5 mil house in Northern Cali, 2 Mil house in Florida, 1 Mil house in Arizona = 8 mil.

1 Mil worth of golf memberships in the area's

2 Mil worth of cars - Ferrari California, Nissan GTR, Audi R8, Audi S5, BMW M3, Bently Arnage, Mercedes CLK 63 Black, Mercedes SL55 AMG etc

Buy a local muni, renovate it, make it world class and semi-private for 5 Mil.

16 Mil spent, save the other 4 for equipment, investments, and monthly dues

You better believe I would have about 15 scotty, bettinardi, and slighter limited edition putters. Not to mention new irons yearly and wedges monthly. Fresh Ball every hole. Range ball would be right out of the box.

I may buy out the golf channel and fire everyone.

$20 Million is not that much these days, but it still is a very nice chunk of change.

1) I would set up some kind of trust fund for my church and various organizations my Wife and I support.
2) Set up a trust fund for my son.
3) Buy an apartment in Downtown Vancouver, I already have one in mind, and renovate it
4) Buy a nearly new Infinity QX45 for me, and a Mercedes 4DR C-Class for my wife
5) Travel doing missions work, photography, and playing golf.

That was fun...

Cheers, Allan

Head to the UK and play golf everyday at some of the worlds greatest golf courses. After I'm tired of that, I'd head to Australia and New Zealand for some more golf. Then I suppose I head back to US and start my trip around the country playing every course I come to when I come to it.

I would move west,the trip to Japan this past July killed all world travel for me 14 hrs on a plane is enough to do that, And besides warm weather and being able to play golf almost all year round and spend time with the family is perfect for me.

This is great! I have the opportunity to let everyone know how generous I am without ever having to put my money where my mouth is!!!!
$5 million to my church
$5 million for a trust fund for local underprivileged children
$5 million trust to develop worthy young golfers
The rest for my old school
And spend the rest of my life doing missionary work!

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Pay off anything I owe. Then buy both my parents new cars, pay off their house. Then new car for me.

Then I wouldn't know what to do. I'm sure I'd buy some goodies, but I'd probably save a good chunk of it.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
