It's A easily.

Sometimes the ball goes straight. Sometimes three-putts are avoided and I can buy my own beer.

What I can't do is hit ball for any kind of distance. 100 extra yards on each drive would be a game-changer.

As long as "+100 to your drives" means any shot off the tee, that's obviously the best choice. If it only meant shots with the driver, it might be a different story.

+100 on my drives-I am assuming you mean playable.

I can fix the rest and I don't drink much anyway.

none of the above - I like my game and earning my improvements on my own.  It would be less fun if I took a pill to get anything.

Alas - and I'm not a beer drinker

 

(if the question was what do I think would have me score better, then it's the option to hit +100 yards on any drive - though I'd feel silly hitting putter on very short par 3s)

I'll take +100 yards with the driver.  Skins money alone would pay for the beer and then some.

Man, I know 100+ yards is technically the best answer for total score improvement, but...

  • My #1 issue is clubface control; put 100+ on my misses and I'm off the planet!
  • Lots of terrain variance, and twists and turns on my home club course (that tips out 6700ish); finding (and hitting) landing spots would take some insane shotmaking.
  • Imagine the looks & comments you'd get standing around waiting for groups 350-375+ yds. up to clear (until they saw you hit it, I guess). ;-)

I'd sure like to hit it straight every single time.

B. A was tempting, but if I could stay in the fairway I’ll live with my anemic distances off the tee.

100 yards hooked or sliced out of bounds is useless. 

I’m already a big hitter, so I would love to just be able to rip it and have it go straight every time.

Hell. with Pill A some of you lot could go to the local range and be the "amazing, golf-ball whacker guy".

I would take pill A and then enter the ReMax long drive competition.

Not really interested in any of the pills.  If I get too good at something, I tend to check it off the list of accomplishments and move onto something more challenging.  I don't want golf to be easy (or make it any easier).  I like that it is challenging, keeps me interested.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
