Shapotomous Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 This came up in another theead and i thought it could be interesting... If you were a pro which tournament would you most want to win ? My choice would be the British Open. The history, links style courses, the weather, the creativity needed, the most knowledgeable fans.... I like it the best of the majors.

NM01 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 As I said in the other thread it’s The Open championship. The Masters is next line because it comes with lifetime exemption to the event, champions dinner every year and lots of other perks. Watch all the media attention and sponsorships that come from winning a green jacket. The US Open after that because very golfer wants to win the Open championship of their country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course. It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.

CarlH Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 For me, winning The Open or the US Open would be the one that I would cherish the most. You're competing against the best in both the amateur and professional sport.

Mike Z Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 As a fan talking about it, I have to say the Masters. Its always been my favorite. It marks the beginning pf spring and the golf season for me. Just all the ceremony and tradition. And it can be argued that the best of the best compete there. With a fan's mindset that's where I would want to hoist the trophy. That said if I were a pro who had worked my entire life to reach the apex of golf, then it would be the US Open I think. Its my nation's championship. It can be argued that its golf's most strict test - no disrespect to the The Open Championship.

chisag Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 ... The Open Championship. Everything about it screams GOLF. I love how it isn't fair at all and for one round it might possibly not reward the best player, but over 4 rounds it evens out and dealing with bad breaks is part of the mental game. Love that most bunkers are actually hazards and strategically avoided where the other Majors players actually aim for the bunker. It rewards all aspects of the game so a player that is outstanding at any one aspect doesn't have an advantage. Too often it takes a really skilled putter to win the Masters and US Open but even an average putter can win The Open. Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ... AutoFlex Dream 7 SF405 Fairway: Qi10 5 wood ...
