golfinnut Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 At the U.S. Open, if you had anyone else's swing or game, who would you choose for: Driving Approach or Iron play Putting I'll go first ..... Greg Norman - best driver of the golf ball in terms of distance & accuracy IMO Ben Hogan - best swing & ball striker of all time ... only player I know of that was known to have hit every fairway & every green in regulation during a round in competition Ben Crenshaw - best putter with the best mechanics & stroke around. His last win at the Masters, he didn't have 1 three putt over the entire tournament ... that's 72 holes on those lightening fast greens! These can be past or present players. GO!

Golfspy_CG2 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Good topic. I expect there to be a wide variety of answers, depending on the age of the poster. Driving: Dustin Johnson-Right now I don't think there is any better of more confident in the game. Just remember what he did in this exact scenario last year at Oakmont (alghough he didn't know if he had a 1 shot lead or 3 shot lead) THANK YOU USGA!! Irons: Davis Love...One of the best that I can recall in my era of watching golf (Hogan is almost too easy of choice...ha) Putting: Tiger Circa 2005!!

revkev Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Well I know that I'm beating Golfinnut because Greg Norman was the master of loosing on the 18th hole in a playoff with a major on the line - poor drives, shanked irons (one literally in the Masters), missed putts - I think I'd keep him out of the line up thank you. I will go Jack, Jack and Tiger - game over - if I have to take three different guys I'll take anyone who puts it on the map off the tee, Jack and Tiger or anyone who keeps it on the map Tiger and Jack or Tiger, Tiger, Jack or Jack, Tiger, Jack or Tiger, Jack, Tiger. You get the point. I've seen all the guys mentioned here play albeit Hogan way past his prime - No one touches those two guys in this scenario - there's a reason why Jack and Tiger won more majors than anyone else. Any combination of those two guys wins because no one could touch their games tee to green - no one - no way - no how. Have fun with the other combos though - Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big money Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Actually I want to change my above^ Driver (Jamie Sadlowski) Approach - if we don't hit green off the tee (Michelle Wie) - even though leadbetter messed her up.She can At least hit the green with a wedge after 400 yard bomb from Jamie S Putt (Sandra Gal) When holding the trophy.I will have Michelle and Sandra each holding onto one of my calves. As they are kneeling on the green.They are by far the most beautiful women on LPGA.Than I receive trophy and look at camera and say "How you like me now Biatches" Keep it in the short stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthanSterlingPrice Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm assuming players in prime form here so I pick Dustin Johnson on driver, Jack is a very close second. (Think what he could've done with today's gear I swear). Tie between Ben Hogan and Johnny Miller for irons. Two of the best there (in my opinion at least). Tie between Jack Nicklaus and Jordan Spieth for putting. Don't think you could go wrong with either. Honorable Mentions are Greg Norman, Sergio Garcia and Ben Crenshaw.

revkev Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm stunned - this is so simple If you don't have Jack Nicklaus in one of the three spots you lose - don't you get that he won 18 majors? I saw him throughout his career and also Tiger. The two of them were so far and away the best players ever tee to green that any other choice there is dumb founding, even Hogan, unless the rule is that you have to take three because in their prime they were the best putters too. If you have Greg Norman - you lose- Did you actually watch him on the back nine in majors throughout his career? He was at best the third best player in the weakest era in modern golf history. Certainly on the PGA tour where he made his living. The Euro's had Seve, Faldo and Langer (whose Euro career is a mirror image of Norman's on the PGA tour). I will grant that Greg was an amazing player for 63 holes in the Majors. But we are standing on the tee at 72, tied. Any winning team must have Nicklaus and Woods on it. So how about this if you need three Nelson (you know the guy the robot is named after) Nicklaus Woods Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
