One stroke at Augusta

[dugue4]

Most of us will never have the opportunity to play Augusta, but if you were given the opportunity to take on stroke from anywhere at Augusta National, what are you picking?

 

I'd hit a tee shot on 16 (and probably put it in the water).  

[Maine Golfer]

Same give me a chance on 16

[Chrismydawg]

2nd Shot into 13 from 200 ish out. Always loved that shot on TV. 

[Whiskey_fire]

Drive on 13 

[kwcsports]

tee shot on 16 for sure.

[jdcho]

Tee shot on 12.  Bet a ton of pros want this shot back.

I thought this would be a no-brainer, unanimous choice.

[sheepdawg]

12th, tee shot.

[AdamMH]

Their finest tequila at the turn.

Ah... you said stroke, not shot. Hm.

In this order

Tee shot on 12

Second, okay for me really third on 13

Tee shot on 16

Second shot on 11

Honestly, it has been years since I've watched golf, but I'll be able to answer this after I go to the Masters Tournament this year. 😄 

It's nice having a Father In Law with connections. 😄

 Tee shot on 12, hands down.

 

Although I guess the true answer would be "1 foot putt on 18 to win a green jacket ..."

[b.mattay]

Tee shot on 10...we're SLANGIN'!! 😅

[CinqueValvole]

Tee shot on 12

[Hawkeye77]

Tee shot 12!  

[mizuno player]

Anything in Amen corner. First choice would be #12.  My second choice would be to play the entire 18 holes. We're dreamin, right? 

[Dutch1008]

12 is the obvious choice but if I'm getting only one swing, I'm not wasting it on a 9i. Give me the 2nd shot into 13.

Absolutely

12, 16, 2nd into 13. But I wouldn’t sleep on the 2nd shot into 18 either, lot of Masters won or lost there too.

This is it! Beautiful background. 12 is a close second but you know what Ricky Bobby says……..

[ANimz]

No ace yet, so I should probably hit the par 3 course. 😂 Don't know the holes well enough to pick one though.  

[Ronnie Mundt]

Great thread; how do you choose?

 

1. Tee ball 12 with Sunday Pin

2. Second shot on 2 from about 230 out (where Louis made his famous albatross)

3. Second shot on 15 would be a blast.

4. Tee ball 16 Sunday pin

 

I love watching the second shot on 13 but don’t think I’d like to hit it with that hook lie. But from someone who has been there, I remember standing off of the 13th fairway watching guys hit into the green on 13 and just being in total awe since the backdrop into the 13th green looks like a painting. It’s that beautiful.

[Mr.Cleeks]

Tee shot on 16 to that Sunday pin

Pull out your trusty WRX 9i from 200 and stick it to 6 inches just like the pros would if they were as good as we are. Amirite?

[Mcfly]

Standing behind the tee box on number eleven at Augusta National is the most intimidating tee shot with a driver I’ve ever seen.  I’d like to see if I could get to the top of the hill so I could see eleven green.  I’d give myself a five percent chance of success. 

[iBanesto]

[jaffabell]

Oh god, ALL OF THEM! As a Masters fanboy I have dreamt of hitting every shot on that course.

 

If my life depended on a decision, I would have to go with the tee shot at 12 though.

 

Problem is, would I follow the GOAT's advice and aim over the bunker to play safe or take on the right hand pin? 🙂 

[bladehunter]

2nd shot to #2 -Sunday pin.  
 

 

[Maximilian]

Tee shot on 12. Looks easy-peasy. I'd show those "professionals" how it's done. 😎

[the bishop]

Jack's putt on 17.  Maybe? Yes sir!
