Would you rather play only one round all year, but it's at Augusta National, or play unlimited golf at your local course/club?

Unlimited golf, for sure.... And especially at a low attended course with no wait times, where I can practice as much as I want.

I'd choose Augusta.  I only played about 10 times this year as it is, and I'd definitely trade that offensive pile of hacks for one glorious day at the National.

I would need to practice full swing shots though.  My short game would definitely be rusty, but I think a first-timer should expect their short game to suck at Augusta under any conditions.

This was too easy. I personally don't even get that excited about celebrity courses. I live 2 miles from Torrey and could play there all the time if I wanted to. But it wouldn't necessarily be more fun than hanging with my buddies at our home course.

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

Yeah even if it was 20 rounds at AN I am still going to choose unlimited golf.

In the "Golfing Experience," the course, IMO, means little when compared to the action of playing golf.  I play to have fun and to, hopefully, be constantly improving.  If my travels brings me across Augusta, GREAT! It'll be a tough challenge at a beautiful course, but I play to beat myself more than the course.  So, I chose unlimited golf, no question.

Definitely unlimited golf.  I would love to play Augusta but not at the expense of giving up an entire seven month season.  I would trade a week off from golf for one round at Augusta (or Pine Valley here in NJ), but that's about it.

Unlimited. But I like playing different courses, so I still would not limit myself to just my home course. So for me unlimited at my home course equates to playing there 1-3 times a week, and at least once every two weeks at a different course. That would be a realistic scenario for me.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
