Good question.

Tiger Woods- I realize he is a bit young to be immortalized, but he is the most famous golfer of all time. I may not have chosen him had I not witnessed that scene unfold on the 72nd hole of the TOUR Championship. There is not a golfer in the world that garners that much excitement. Heck there may not be another athlete in the world that garners that much excitement.

It's not empty fame though. His results on the golf course are as impressive as anyone in the history of the game. 


Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

Maybe I should go easy on you because you don't know how to use google to make sure you're spelling incredibly famous people's names correctly.  But you're just embarrassing yourself putting Seve on there instead of the Tiger, the best golfer of all time.

Please lighten up. Both of you. This is a personal list. Everyone's list is their own. No need to crap on each other.

Its actually quite a tough one as there are so many great golfers that deserve to go on there.

For me it would have to be Jack, Hogan, Tiger and Seve.

For me Seve made golf "personal" if you get what i mean. While Jack, Hogan and Tiger where/are technically brilliant golfers Seve was, to me, more down to earth and more "human". Kind of like that bloke next door you could have a laugh with who was also a genius with a golf club.

It would help if "Mt. Rushmore" weren't so ambiguous.  Theodore Roosevelt wasn't a bad President, but he's not one of the top four, even excluding those who came after him, so I don't see why this list should be the top four candidates for GOAT.  Also, the Mt. Rushmore project was terminated earlier than the originators planned due to lack of funding, so I don't see why it should be limited to four.

Now that the groundwork is thoroughly laid for the coward's way out, I'll name the seven players who IMO have had the most impact on the game: Vardon, Jones, Snead, Hogan, Palmer, Nicklaus, and Woods.

Edit: And just by the way, Snead would not be in my top 4.  The fact that Tiger included him indicates to me that he is very, very desirous of breaking Snead's record.

Ballesteros might be equal to or ahead of Snead for impact on the game.

    • I'm in Missouri nowadays, but the opposite corner of the state from St Louis. I don't mind traveling if a group was planning a tee time though.
    • With all of my wedges/short irons I have 4 main shot types that I use to hit the ball different distances with different trajectories. I have my "normal" shot with standard yardage and ball flight, a "knockdown" shot with shorter yardage and lower ball flight, a "3/4" shot with shorter yardage and normal ball flight, and a "1/2" shot with shorter-still yardage and normal trajectory. Of those shots, the only one with a swing that is intentionally different in any way is the "knockdown" shot where I move the ball back a little and keep a bit more shaft lean at impact. Multiple sets of irons and wedges ago I used a shag bag and a big field to measure out how far I hit each of those 4 shots on average with all my clubs 8i and below, then I printed out some homemade shaft labels and put them on the corresponding club for easy reference. Nowadays I don't do that (they get damaged and fall off too quickly/easily without real shaft labels), but I do have those distances noted on a laminated sheet I keep in my yardage book cover. I rarely carry an actual yardage book, it's mostly just to keep my scorecard dry and intact now that I live in a more humid climate where sweat doesn't immediately evaporate, but it means I can have a typed out sheet of these yardages handy at all times without taping them to my shafts. So long as there isn't some forced carry or super slippery greens conditions that would necessitate a shot with more spin or higher trajectory I've found this to be much more consistent than just using a 60* for everything inside its full swing yardage and trying to tell the small difference between a 70% swing and an 80% swing.
    • I've always wondered what those wrenches were set to. I'm sure I could have looked it up but I had never remembered to look it up. Nice.
    • If you have a decently equipped shop or set of tools you may have all you need. A golf wrench is just a T25 torx bit on a torque-wrench set to 40 in.lbs. 😁
    • Just some clarifying questions: Has anything changed in regards to… who you play with, when you play, your health, romantic life, your financial situation… anything? When's the last time you worked with your instructor(s)? Has it been awhile since you got to 12, or are you still continuing and doing the same types of things? Have you focused more on score lately given your time/$ "investments" and not as much on enjoying the playing, the company, the golf? Has golf become a task instead of an opportunity?
