It looks like Augusta is going to be very crowded with all of us there playing. But, if i could pick one, The Masters would certainly be it, then the U.S. open followed by PGA, then the British. I actually enjoy watching the british second to the masters, but, I do not like playing links style courses.

Enjoy life now ladies and gentlemen, there is no second time around.

The Masters, because it's exclusive and probably the most prestigious event.

Definitely the Masters. It just has a different aura about it and the Augusta National golf course holds a certain mistique for me as well.

Plus, given the way the USGA handled the women's open qualifying where a dozen qualifiers shot almost 160 for two rounds, I figure I might have a chance to get in if I could get my handicap down under 2, lol.

While the US, British and PGA venues change courses throughout the years, Augusta remains the sanctuary of the sport and the sole scene of the Masters.

Besides, I can pay money and go to any other course where the other majors are played...

Please don´t swing while I´m talking !!

I think I'd give my exemption to someone far more worthy.

If I had a U.S. Mid-Amateur Champion level game I'd want to play the Masters, then the two Opens depending on the course.

The Open Championship, or the US Open (depending on the location). I love the Masters but I'm an ocean course type of guy. Augusta is probably the nicest course in the US, but if it was somehow on the ocean it would be unbelievable.

The Masters, except about 10 years ago, when they weren't trying to be the hardest major. Short rough, fast greens and under-par winners. That's how I like my Masters.

For me it would be The Open Championship. That tournament has so much history and prestige that to me personally it would be the most important.
The Masters and the U.S. Open are great tournaments, but they dont have the history and the prestige of The Open Championship.

For me it would most definitely be The US Open!

My game is built far more to compete in a US Open. I can handle making 10-12 straight pars at a time! Throw in a birdie and bogey here and there and you come close to shooting even par!

I can deffinitely see myself winning a US Open shooting Even Par more than winning the Masters/British Open/PGA having to shoot -5 to -10 in those tournaments!

I would pick the Masters.
Even if i was in the trees every second shot haha.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      By iacas ·

      https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
