So you won first prize and you get to chose 3 players from the PGA or the LPGA to play a round with at any course in the world. So who would you pick? Would you take them to your course or go for 1 of the courses you wish you could play at.

I head out to West Sayville (Long Island) with...
Vijay Singh: This guy is a workhorse. Like him or not, he seems to really know his stuff and may be able to offer a tip or 2 for me to improve.
John Daly : He brings the beer and seems like he can make me laugh and keep the mood light
Natalie Gulbis: Sue me, I want to roll around in the rough with her.

I got engaged on November 19, 2005 to a lady who had bought me a Taylormade R580XD, Adams Irons a Calloway "MLB" bag, a Calloway Golf jacket (different holidays / birthdays / etc) and tells me I should "go play with the guys."

Paula Creamer - I'm in love with her.
Tiger Woods - Hello? Duh.
Cristie Kerr - I used to be in love with her until Paula came along.

Course? Augusta of course. Because it's probably the only course I couldn't play that I want to if money wasn't an object. I figured since I'm never going to be able to play with Paula (I'm talking golf), Tiger, and Cristie, I might as well pick a course I'll never get.

Ernie Els - Who wouldn't want to witness such a swing from up close?
Tiger - just to see the expression each time I outdrive him...
Nick Price - Veterans tell the best stories. Plus a helluva nice guy.
(Of course, Natalie Gulbis can greet me with a frostie as I walk into the clubhouse)

Paula Creamer
Tiger Woods
Arnold Palmer

Course: Augusta, for the same reason as above: tough to get into normally, so why not?

Arnold gets to come along because I'm a PA guy and I'd be interested in seeing if I could beat him. Paula and Tiger come along for obvious reasons. If Paula couldn't go, Laura Diaz is next in line... very close call actually.

I might actually win longest drive, and Fred could explain to our wives what we're doing out on the course with Nat and Paula...

Tiger woods
my uncle
my self
john huh,

for get all those other pros, you only need tiger, and my uncle is so annoying and brown nosering?, that he tiger would rip the ball everytime.

I would play on my home course just because when ever you hit over 300 yards, its usually in rough or in water, lol. Plus I like feeling like I own the place until tiger owns me, damn.

It would have to be Phil Mickelson, Natalie Gulbis, and my Dad

Phil- Lefty, my hero, and an awesome guy, probably the nicest guy on tour who can still win!

Natalie- well im sure we all know this one, not to mention if i hit a bad shot i could look at her and realize that things arn't that bad when you're playing with the hottest girl on tour...

My Dad- got me into the game early, helped me play often. simple as that....oh yea, and the simple fact that hes MY DAD

(he'd probably kill me if i left him out besides haha)

Annika Sorenstam: because lets be honest she is the best LPGA golfer out there right now.

Tiger: because he is just amazing.

Paula Creamer: b/c man I bet she could make anyone cream up.( sorry ) lol. maybe VJ as well if we could have a 5 some just to piss him off b/c he backed out of the tournament so he didnt have to play with Annika.
