The dream foursome thread got me thinking. Everyone would love to play Augusta, Pine Valley, etc...

What would you be willing to do to actually be able to?

The other day I said I would give my left you know what, to play augusta, and I believe I would stand by that...as long as my right one worked. I would easily give up a kidney too.

I honestly think I could give up sex for a given amount of time... not sure what that says though.

That a good question Rusty, I would be careful to give up too much, don't get me wrong, I'd absolutely love to play Augusta National but I think that when it was all said and done if I had to turn around and give up much of my normal life I'm not sure it would be worth it....that being said....my pinkie finger on my left hand in about 2 seconds!

I hear you Rusty, I would definately do the same if the other was completely functional, I would give up the other one too if Tiger was thrown into the mix... wow, did I just say that?

I'd give up cigarettes. Oh wait, I don't smoke...

The only nasty addiction I have is golf. At least that's what my wife says.

Fairways and Greens.

most of the responses are in form of a joke giving how unreal the idea is.. But a bit on the serious note - Pebble Beach has the most expensive cost of play (with a overnight stay -which is required- a round will cost you about $900) - what is a "reasonable" price to play Augusta? It's hard to cut it off and say $1000 is ok, but $1100 is too much... After all - it's just a golf course... pretty, history, the Masters, etc - but it's just a golf course.
With $1000 green fee I'm in. Anything more - count me out. I'd rather go for a week of golf to Myrtle Beach

Dave - wife calling golf "a nasty addiction" is a PERFECT candidate of something you could give up...

That's kind of why I went with the 'give up' option. There are a lot of wealthy people who would like to be members at Augusta and aren't so greens fees weren't really what I was going for. Not to mention $1000 to you may be like $100 to me or $10 to someone else, wealth and money are all relative.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
