1.

1. 9-iron, generally.

2. Augusta, no question. 3. Long putt for par. Means I at least got on in 3. 4. Firm putter, softer-ish ball. 5. Club distances being equal... hybrid for a shorter shot (>=19* loft), wood for a longer one (<19* loft). 6. Play professionally. You can always fall back. Can't always move up. 7. 3 hour, unmarred round. Pfft... People... 8. Walk. Hands down. Well, not really hands down. That would be hard. 9. Heat. There's a reason I moved south...

[wkdspd]

1. 5 iron from the fairway - I prefer control to distance
2. 10 rounds at a muni - the munis here in dallas are ridiculously good
3. 30 footer - if Im chipping for par, then I didnt follow #1
4. Firm putter, soft ball - there's the control thing again
5. Wood - I can't control the hybrid yet, it's new
6. Pro - if I have it my way, that still may happen
7. 8. Ride - helps with 9. Heat - although Ive played some great rounds in 38* weather wearing shorts

good topic!

Augusta any day, I mean come on just to say you did it is worth it 3. 30 footer, hole out get's you congrats, hitting a 30 footer get's you called cuss words from your playing partners. 4.firm putter soft ball. 5. Depends on the distance I like both although fairway's better. 6. Play pro golf are you kidding me, even strugglers make way more than I do. 7. A round with freinds no question . 8. Ride, I do it for fun not exercise ask me again in 15 years. 9. I like it warm but um 40* is not really that cold to me and 85* is pretty warm I like it more around 65*-75* now that's perfect, I play in 40* weather every year between late march-late may and from mid october to early november and then I play in 30* weather until it snows.

[QUOTE=denver_nuggs_15;245326] 1. Hit from the middle of the fairway with a 5-iron, or from the rough with a 9-iron? 9 iron, if the rough wasn't tangly burmuda or a buried lie. Fairway if the lie is bad in the rough. Bad lie in the rough, if the ball is in a terrible divot in the fairway.

2. Play one round at a top-rated course (Augusta, etc.) or 10 rounds at a muni? If they were free, Augusta. If I had to pay, the muni

3. Drain a 30 footer for par, or hole-out for par? (Just wondering what gets you more pumped.) Hole out from 80+yards. If less than 80 yards, 30 footer. 80 yards is my current record for hole out.
4. Use a firm putter with a soft ball, or a soft putter with a firm ball? Soft ball every time.

5. Hit a hybrid or wood off the deck? Used to say hybrid. But, I just bought a used Sonartec S001 15 degree. I am in love.

6. Play professional golf and struggle to make cuts (and money) or do what you do now and earn a steady salary? Both, but if you struggle and make every cut in every tournament, but finish last, you will still be a multi-millionairre playing golf. (if you make every cut, you will get an endorsement)

7. Play a round in under 3 hours by yourself, or play a 4 hour round with 3 other people? Under 3 hours.

8. Walk or ride? Walk, unless the course is ridiculous to walk (400 yards between green and next tee, etc.

9. Play in the cold (<40*) or in the heat (>85*)? I'd define heat at 100 plus in Texas. I'd still say heat.

Additional questions.

Play with your father/brother or Gary Player/Nicklaus/insert your favorite pro?

Play at a good course with miserable, rude staff or an average course that treats you like royalty?

Score well or Play well (great ball striking, with lots of lip outs/barely misreads?

[Dub]

Hit from the middle of the fairway with a 5-iron, or from the rough with a 9-iron? 9irong from the rough....right now our rough is dormant and a breeze to play from.....now in a few months I may very well change that as our rough is a nasty affair.
2. Play one round at a top-rated course (Augusta, etc.) or 10 rounds at a muni? Without a doubt, play a round at Augusta National GC. Next is Pebble Beach and after that I'm open for muni play.
3. Drain a 30 footer for par, or hole-out for par? (Just wondering what gets you more pumped.) Holing out for a boring, routine par....doing dramatic things to make par simply reinforces the fact that I'm scrambling.
4. Use a firm putter with a soft ball, or a soft putter with a firm ball? Firm putter, softer ball....I detest inserted feel on putters.
5. Hit a hybrid or wood off the deck? wood....I'm not a fan of hybrids...at least on yet.
6. Play professional golf and struggle to make cuts (and money) or do what you do now and earn a steady salary? Tough call....especially in this economy.
7. Play a round in under 3 hours by yourself, or play a 4 hour round with 3 other people? 4 other round with company is always prefered.
8. Walk or ride? Lately my right foot and left knee have kept me riding.
9. Play in the cold (85*)? Either extreme sucks.....at least with the heat there are no frost delays and the beverage cart girls wear less and less.

1.

Id rathar hit from the middle of the fairway with a 5-iron. Unless its a shot little wedge shot, Id always rathar hit from the fairway.

2. Play one round at a top-rated course (Augusta, etc.) or 10 rounds at a muni?

It depends upon the top-rated course. I personally couldnt care less about playing at Augusta due to their policy with women golfers, but Id much rathar play 1 round at the old course at St. Andrews than to play 10 rounds at a local muni.

3. Drain a 30 footer for par, or hole-out for par? (Just wondering what gets you more pumped.)

Hold-out for par.

4. Use a firm putter with a soft ball, or a soft putter with a firm ball?

Firm putter, soft ball. That way, you get feedback and you know why you miss a putt. With a soft putter, the mishits feel the same as the solid hits.

5. Hit a hybrid or wood off the deck?

Hybrid. Right now I suck with my woods.

6. Play professional golf and struggle to make cuts (and money) or do what you do now and earn a steady salary?

Do what I do now and earn a steady salary. I dont like the thought of not know when my next meal is going to be.

7. Play a round in under 3 hours by yourself, or play a 4 hour round with 3 other people?

It depends upon the people.

Walk.

8. Walk or ride?

9. Play in the cold (<40*) or in the heat (>85*)?

Cold. I dont really consider 40* to be cold though. Where Im from, thats considered to be mild weather.

Additional questions.

Father/brother. If I played with a pro, I think I would be so nervous that I would play well, would know what to say and probably wouldnt have any fun.

Play at a good course with miserable, rude staff or an average course that treats you like royalty?

Play at an average course that treats you like royalty.

Score well or Play well (great ball striking, with lots of lip outs/barely misreads?

Score well. All the great ball striking in the world doesnt mean a thing if you cant sink your putts.
