What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
I've told people this repeatedly so I think it is probably true:
I would rather break 80 than win $10,000 playing poker. My best 18 hole score was last year where I shot an 82 on my home course. (Hcp 17.7) |

Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
My personal best round was a 77 on my par 72 home course. I normally shoot mid 80's, so I'd put my handicap around 13-14. Having broken 80, and not won 10k, here are my thoughts:
I would have to say it depends on how the 10k is won. Grinding out 10k over some time...meh. I'd take the breaking 80. If the 10k was from winning a poker tourney, I would choose that over breaking 80. |
Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
assuming it is strictly one or the other, id rather do poker cause i plan to play poker for a long time so playing mid stakes and never making 10k would kid suck. if its 10k in a day...still go with the 10k

Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
i've never broken 80 but have shot 80 several times.
ship the 10k. i don't need to break 80 to impress myself or others and i love money. |
Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
I play golf for fun and it gets me outdoors walking around. Having broken 80 numerous times it's really not that big of a deal. Besides, it' golf - as soon as you shoot 79 you'll start thinking about shooting par. It never ends. Send me the money.

Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
I'll take the 10K, then use some of it on some good golf lessons that will help me break 80.

Once you have 10k, then you want 20k, etc. And I didn't mean for this thread to be just 80 vs $10k..but what it is for each individual. Right now I would take $10k over shooting 80, but 79 over $10. When I broke 90, the numbers would have been different. |
Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
Shouldn't this be $10k or breaking 80 regularly?
Breaking 80 once is exciting, but $10k is a lot of money. |
Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
Breaking 80 regularly means you aren't breaking par, which is what you'll want if you're breaking 80. Take the 10k and have fun w/ whatever milestone you're trying to break, because you'll always have one.

Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
Someone mentioned this already, but breaking 80 seems like a big deal right now. Once you do, you'll celebrate for a short time, then you'll go back in your head and think "Dammit, I hit a really bad shot there, if I didn't make those stupid mistakes I could've shot 75."
My personal goal is to shoot 18 holes under par playing the ball down, putting everything out. |
Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
I would rather have 10k then shoot 59.

Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
Well, i personally would rather have money at my current stage in life(20 year old college bum), but would actually probably pass up on 10k if i could shoot under par for 18 holes(73 is my current best). Also i would like to shoot my course record this summer, but would not be willing to give up on 10k to do so. It is only a 9 hole course and the record is 31 and my low score is 32.

Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
I just asked my head pro this. He would take $1,000 over acing all 5 par 3's and double eagling all the 5's. This is assuming its in a non competition round.

Re: What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?
If I can choose between going to Tunica tomorrow and winning a certain amount, or playing golf tomorrow and shooting 59 (with no side bets!)...
I'd take the 59 over $3,500. I'd take $5,000 over shooting 59. |
