The birth of a child is a very special event in a person's life. You welcome a new life into the world and rejoice with family members. Having said that I would still choose Augusta. I mean come on its Augusta National!

Ha! Having hit a hole in one, and been present at the birth of my first son, I would DEFINITELY choose birth. And I KNOW that I would NOT give up my hole in one for a day at the Augusta. BIRTH is just so freaking happy. . .


Baby... Augusta... Baby... Augusta...

Slave away at a job 60 hours a week for 60 years as opposed to early retirement, at 35...

Heh, if I had it my way I'd have the baby at Augusta. Two birds with one stone.

I know my wife will never be pregnant again . Thanks to modern medicine . Augusta will only happen once in 24 million golfers life . There would never be a dream come true for any avid golfer than to have the most remotest of a chance ( You have better chance by being hit by lightning) to smell the grass at Augusta . The place where the Godz of golf reside .

You all know that if this did come true and you picked Augusta National the golf gods would punish and you would either have a terrible round or even worse get to the bag drop just as Hootie says, "Sorry, the course is closed because it is too wet to play. See you next time." You know that would happen.

Could any of you honestly look at your wife and say " I know that baby johnny is coming out today but me and the fellas are heading out to play golf so you are on your own. Cya!"

First, I honestly don't see how anyone could enjoy that round of golf considering their wife was bringing another child into the world.

Here is how I see this playing out for everyone here...

What you say:

"Honey, I know that your water just broke, and that the contractions are just a few minutes apart, but I just got this call, and I have a opportunity to play golf at an incredible golf course, this really is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Could you go ahead and drive yourself to the hospital and I will meet you there after the round."

What she hears:

"Listen, I don't care that your water just broke, and that the contractions are just a few minutes apart, I just got a call, and I am not going to be there for the birth of our child, golf is more important to me than being there for you when our child comes into the world. Drive yourself to the hospital and I will meet you at the hospital after the round."

What she says:

"Honey, that's great, I am so happy for you, go and have a great time! See you at the hospital after the round!"

What she means:

"What, are you kidding me! Are you really that stupid! Do you honestly think that you not being there is okay with me! If you go, you better enjoy that round of golf, because it will be your LAST round of golf.

For me the choice is simple, BABY.

BTW, my wife and I are expecting our second daughter any day now, so this thread hits close to home.

Anybody who says play golf needs to seriously re-evaluate their priorities... and their wife needs to seriously re-evaluate her desire to be married to such an inconsiderate, uncaring schmuck.

This is a BABY, people.

It depends on how much child support you can afford to pay . Because you would be telling your spouse divorce me now, I have no clue.

Not only would it be your last round of golf, it would also be your last round period.

(It will be obvious in reading this response: I am one of the ones who voted for playing Augusta over having a kid)

Wait, hold on. What makes my priorities so bad? First of all, I don't want a wife or kid(s), so that may bias my answer somewhat. Maybe I shouldn't have answered the poll, since it specified "wife." Suppose I were in this situation, and my wife were to be upset that I choose Augusta. It isn't (only) that she has to wonder why she's married to someone as inconsiderate and uncaring as I am: I have to wonder why I got married to someone who is so inconsiderate and uncaring to my goals and desires in life. This applies even if I were invited to play a goat track instead of Augusta.

We're talking about a one time chance here. You can always have more babies!

priorities my Son, do you have children? I know personally being in the Labor/Delivery Room for both of my children was the best experience I have every had, NOTHING (not even the Masters) can replace that, then again my Golf game isn't good enough to play there so it makes the choice even easier for me.....

    • Adding in, feeling like I purposely try to smash the clubhead into the ground 2 ft behind the ball. Just an arms down swing feel visual. 
    • Its good to hear you're back to swinging, and more important that you're feeling healthy enough to do it.  As Bill says, take it gently, push just a little, I'm sure you'll be back to speed soon.  
    • Yeah, all of the basic PA relief options are available for just one stroke.  However, 17.2a(2) offers an additional choice, the Player might choose to take Stroke and Distance by dropping within the PA, where he made his first attempt to play from the PA.  If he decides after dropping not to play it, he can then take any of the other options, for one additional PS, two in total.   Model Local Rule E-11 is probably being used.  The Committee can define whether the rule applies only to specific power lines or structures, could limit it to only those lines or structures in bounds.  However, then you have to determine where the ball hit the power line, which is pretty difficult, so most often they apply no matter where the ball hits the power line.  You can check the specific wording of the local rule to be sure. And the MLR as written applies no mater where the ball ends up.  So I think you did right, the player should replay the stroke with no penalty. You're right, the DQ only applies if a Stroke is made with the non-conforming club.  We'd have acted very quickly if we could have avoided that.  However, he had stickers on the driver, and we were made aware he had hit driver several times before we got the report.  
    • Always summed up my feelings about the man.  I'm a life-long Reds fan (took me till 12 to discover hockey). Even though I was pretty young, I remember the excitement when Rose came back to Cincinnati from Montreal and broke Cobb's record.  My parents weren't big TV people, so the night he got that hit off Eric Show, I was messing with an ancient black and white we had in the basement. Got it to work just well enough with the rabbit ears to get a half decent picture. It was an exciting moment for sure.  Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. I suppose it is always tough on kids when their team's major stars show their warts. All those years of denial plus the occasional indication that he may have been an out-right pedophile, makes it hard for me to feel much one way or another. After all, the man is dead.
