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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
