Tom Watson's because it has served him well and his turn means he can still compete in his 60s.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

The big Easy, Shrek or Luke.

Afraid mine is more like a combination between Furyk and Westwood (the lesser parts combined)

Duff Daddy!

I figured the question was meant for pros that are still alive today.  If it was ANY pro in the history of golf, I would go with Byron Nelson

Forgot about Oosthuizen, his for sure

I would take Zach Johnson or Dufnahhhs.  they have such a clean and efficient approach to hitting the ball, its annoying to see how easy they make it look.

if I just wanted to look cool and get the ladies wet, I would take Rory or Seung yul noh

I think for iron shots, I would love to have Adam Scott's swing. However when it comes to the driver and woods/metals, I would love to have Rory McIlroy's swing. For the short game and putting I like Mickelson's techniques and results. If I were to choose one player's swing for everything though I would love to have Rory McIlroy's just because I can't stand Adam Scott's belly putter and Mickelson is far too long in the backswing for me personally.

I am having an argument with myself between Robert Rock and Charl Swartzel. If I was forced I would go with Rock.

I am happy with my swing.  Not so happy where the ball goes after I make that swing.  So if I am going to dream of something, I want the ball to go where I think that I am aiming.

If I could "graft" something from the pro's into my game, it's the wedge and short game.  Putting / chipping / sand play.  That is really the biggest difference.

I am not saying that with a pro's short game I could be a pro, because I don't hit enough Fairways, greens, etc.  BUT that alone would probably be the biggest improvement on the score card.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

When you say "have", do you mean I get to take theirs and they have to have mine?  Ooooo!  Who's career do I want to ruin!

Jason Dufner for that tucked right elbow. Awesome Hogan like position coming into the ball. BAM!

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I wouldn't want Adam Scotts just simply because I can't STAND the guy.  Absolutely HATE Adam Scott.  For 2 reasons mainly - 1.  THAT PUTTER MY GOD!  2.  He has the BIGGEST douche of a caddy on tour.  Absolutely HATE Steve Williams I want to punch him in the face everytime I see him.

I love Dufners waggle, I wish I could do that like he does, 6 or 7 times and then just boom start the swing, I can't though.  I rest my club on the ground at address for a few seconds.

    • Day 14, April 22.  This morning, before going to work, I took the time to hit two dozen balls (indoors, off the mat, into the net), all with a 6-iron.  As before, this was focused on the pelvis separation and the length of the backswing -- yesterday's video view was encouraging that I'm making progress.  
    • Hey folks, Here's be a better video that outlines some of my challenges.  Any suggestiosn welcome.    
    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
