If we are playing the tips and i can break 100 i would be very pleased. I noramly shoot low 80s at my home courses. So yea try to break 100. William P 1 Quote Link to comment

Mr_BogeyPro Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I would take the tickets. It would be pretty fun to make it a yearly tradition to attend the Masters and even if I couldn't go, I could give it to friends and family. Playing Augusta once would be nice, but it is only once.

Shapotomous Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 If the conditions of this decision would have been play it once and never watch the tourney again on tv, or attend once and be able to watch on tv - Then i probably would have declined playing it.

Aero Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) 100% play. Not even a question in my mind. As far as what I'd shoot (8hcp), think I could break 90 from the members tees/setup. At tournament length/greens, no chance in hell I break 100. Too much length, too many chances to make a huge number, too many 3+ putts...but would still love every second of it.

Julius Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 This is a hard one, going every year after the cut would be an incredible experience, imagine how many historic battles you would be able to see, or iconic finishes and shots - would be amazing. But, as you only live once, and Augusta is otherwise out of my mortal reach, I would have to go with Playing it, likely butchering the hell out of it, but still, to play it one time would be a bucket list item for anyone. The weekend - I can at least still watch on TV.

Ben_Howell34 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 22 hours ago, TSauer said: With the Masters quickly approaching, t-minus 29 days for those counting, I'm going to pose this question... Would you rather: Get to play a round at Augusta National once OR Get Saturday and Sunday tickets to the Masters every year Are the tickets free or we just paying lottery price? If they are free it makes this much harder, but would probably still choose play.
