Similar to the baseball stadium thread, pick one course you’d love to play your dream round of golf on and three people to make up the foursome.

I’d pick TPC Sawgrass in Florida and I’d invite David Duval, John Daly, and Barack Obama to play 18 holes with.

Augusta National, no question.

Jack, Lee Trevino, and Tom Watson. I’ll probably be laughing too hard at Trevino’s jokes to play a decent round, but it would be a gas.

Yeah, Augusta for sure.

Freddie Couples, Obama, and Colin Montgomerie. Why not?

Pine Valley in New Jersey

Sure I would like to play Augusta and Pebble Beach. But I see those golf course every year on TV.

Pine Valley is like Big Foot, no one ever sees it.

and my foursome would be Hogan, Nelson, and Snead. (all in their prime, because I never got to see them play)

Ballybunion, in County Kerry in Ireland. Beautiful course. I keep hoping the British Open or the Ryder Cup will be held there some day.

I’d invite Stephen Hawking, Stevie Wonder and Peter Dinklage. That’s the only way to make sure I’d win.

I’d like to play Banff Springs, in Banff, Alberta. I’ve seen it when I’ve been in Banff, but never had the chance to play it.

I’d play with my regular golf buddies. It might be nice to play with some of the classic pros and tour champions, but with my playing style, they’d get bored pretty quickly. With my buddies, we’d all have lots of fun and a good day of golf.

Unless Dinklage is actually a leprechaun with unlimited wishes.

“Well, it’s not bad for a Catholic priest with a small parish.”

(Or, if you prefer, “35 years old… and you still believe in leprechauns???”  
Sorry, those are from the only two leprechaun jokes I know.

Pebble Beach

Arnold Palmer, John Stewart and Chuck Yeager.

(ETA: Although if passed on are allowed I want Jesus there, both for moral support and so I can yell “Christ Almighty!” every time he sinks a long putt.)
