My answer? The next one. I think one tournament at a time.

It's nearly impossible for me to choose. If the Ryder Cup was every year, that would be my choice. It's my favorite event in golf when it comes right down to it.

As for the annual PGA Tour events, I'd say The Players Championship. Even with all the majors, The Players Championship is still my favorite tournament to watch. The field is just as strong as the majors, and the course keeps me more entertained than Augusta National (I'm not saying it's better).

I love all the majors, however, I really enjoy watching the (British) Open Championship, especially when it's at St. Andrews. It seems the most challenging course style for the U.S. players, and I like watching the cream of the crop battling ahead by using their versatility of talent.

I voted for Masters, but I certainly agree with your statement. Being lucky enough to play the St. Andrews courses just a week ago - I know EXACTLY what you're talking about - it's just absolutely different type of golf being played there. I'd not limit it to the Old course only, Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and all similar links courses play very alike... It takes not only talent and imagination, but also a lot of intelligence to play well there ( that's why I stunk them up I guess

)

I don't dislike the Old Course at St. Andrews because of the vast history of the place. However, it's not even close to my favorite British Open course. My favorite is Royal Troon, and Carnoustie and Royal Birkdale are up there as well.

I enjoy watching the play at St. Andrews, but it just never seems hard enough compared to the other Open Championship courses. Last year's was better though, with the winning score -12 or something in that area.

I might go to Hell for even questioning the Old Course.

MASTERS -no brainer.

It's always the same course.It's history. It's tradition.

And it will NEVER-NEVER-NEVER be given a sponsor's name. (Could you imagine the Viagra MASTERS ...or the Virginia Slims MASTERS?)

Bury me with a golf glove in my pocket - just in case!

    • Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.  
    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄 
    • The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.
    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
