[QUOTE name="14ledo81" url="/t/73673/100-million-dollars-or-10-wishes-but-you-cant-wish-for-money#post_971959"] I wish I could average 300 yard drives.[/QUOTE] Careful about the terms you wish for.  Remember you gotta wish for 300 yard drives with the shape and trajectory you want that finish right on target.  300 yards with a 45˚ pull or slice two fairways over don't help a whole lot  :-O

True, but I hit it about 230 on a decent drive. I would like to crack a few out to 300 even if they were off target.

I suppose there are two ways to make your wish come true. Improve your swing a little, and get a driver with a .93 COR. There's a service that thins your face, not sure where or for how much. 230*.93/.83*1.1= 283 plus 17 roll. It's possible.

Believe me, after a couple of those you would have to use your second wish to take back or straighten out your first wish. ;-)

BTW. I would take the wishes even though I don't need or want much that I don't already have.

I wish I could average 300 yard drives.

Would your second wish be "in the fairway"?

Maybe. Or I might decide it wasn't that cool after all and use the remaining wishes on something else.

Reminds me of an old London finance joke.

I'd take the wishes, no doubt.

Health and long lives for myself and all loved ones. What good is $100M if you die in a year?

The best of luck for myself and my loved ones. What good is $100M if you get hit by a bus tomorrow?

The best business savvy. You can make your money without directly wishing for money).

Alternative idea: wish for the ability to accurately predict the outcome of every major sporting event. Bam: you can make your money easily. :)

Never-ending happiness for myself and all loved ones. Cuz hell, even if you're poor, but you're happy, who gives a shit?

See, and I still have six wishes left.

I like your thinking.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

The wishes. And I'd make sure that one of the wishes was something really stupid and inconsequential, like that a meal I ordered would come out perfectly or something, just because it would feel good.

I would wish for a remote control for time. I could fast forward, rewind, pause, slow motion. The possibilities are endless.

Besides the obvious, I'd wish to win every event in which I participated, never lose.    They would kick me out of casinos because I would win so much, I'd play professional sports and professional golf.    Everyone else could fight for second place.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By DeadMan ·

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
