a round of golf with a pro

[Fabia999]

Hey,

If you had to play a round with somebody outside of the top 20, who would you pick and why?

I'm thinking Mickelson, mainly because i think he would have good banter.

 

[LincolnShep]

Someone like Darren Clarke, just because he seems like a good bloke. Any Tour Pro is going to have a game that is on another planet compared to mine, it doesn't really matter if they're ranked 5 or 500, so I'd pick someone with some good tales to tell!

 

[robbeh32]

Eddie Pepperell - Because his dry sense of humour cracks me up.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Andy Sullivan seems like he's up for a laugh, Darren Clarke for the post match Guinness and perhaps someone like a Richard Boxall as he'd have loads of tales from his tour life and his time with Sky

Ahh forgot about Sully. Sam Horsfield too.

 

[Sekiro]

Andrew Johnston, guy seems down to earth and like one of the lads so would be good company to knock a few.

GMac much better choice (IMHO) than Clarke, have encountered Clarke a few times and he's not super company. Sully is a great choice, seen him on a few youtube vlogs and he's good value. Ernie Els might be a shout too?

Matt Wallace so I’m not the angriest guy on the course! Although I would rather wait for Adam Scott to drop out of the top 20. Used to bet on him every major and as soon as I stopped he bloody won. If I have a round with him I can see if I can get some money back ?

 

[brendy]

Got to be Phil Mick, just watching his short game would entertain me the whole way round.

I chatted to a caddy that I knew and asked who's bag he'd least like to be on, ^^^^^^^ that was his answer ?

Mr Mickelson, will you do that backwards chip shot again?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I love watching Henrik Stenson and he has a very good, dry sense of humour. It is so tempting to say him but I keep being drawn back to Phil Mickelson. I think it would be a good amount of fun with him.

 

[Orikoru]

Anyone who you could have a laugh with. Beef, Pepperell, Stenson, Fleetwood all seem decent guys. Ultimately I'd probably go for Bubba though as he's my favourite player to watch as well.

I've shoved a camera in Matt Wallace's face a couple of times, some people irattionally get upset with that - he's a nice guy and likes a laugh.

I'd go for Lydia Ko, lovely girl, has time to speak to anyone and I think she'd be good company or Christina Kim for the laughs - and I'd be less intimidated getting outdriven by 80 yards rather than the 150 most of the male pros would hit it past me.

 

[Deleted member 23344]

Paul Casey seems like a nice guy.

 

[davidy233]

I hope you all have a rather large amount of spare ££££££££££ or $$$$$$$$$$ if you think these players would just turn up and be performing circus clowns ?.

On the basis of the No Laying Up podcasts and his brief appearance on Sky I'd go for Jason Bohn, and I'd hope he'd turn up and be a performer ?.

Just googled him as I'd never heard of him - turned pro after winning $1 million for a hole in one while at college - wow

I have played with Darren a few times, although he was about 15 at the time.

Also played with Robert Garrigus, he can shift it, lovely down to earth bloke too, Ollie Fisher, also lovely bloke and easy to chat to, and one hole with Nick Faldo, but he is a [redacted].

I want to see long hitting and towering irons rather than precision wedge play, so I think Tony Finau would be fun to play with, or Nicolas Colsaerts. I have no desire to play with Phil Mick who is notoriously full of himself.

 

[Springveldt]

After watching Alex Evans on YouTube, I'd go with Paul Waring (or The Biff as he calls him). Seems like a really good guy, easy going and would be a good laugh. Also seems like he'd be a decent coach as well if you asked him.

Having watched Faldo and Lyle both of whom were not renowned for their humour playing Royal Wimbledon with just them, their caddies and a handful of spectators and no ropes so being able to chat with them between shots (and even have a go on a par 3 with Faldo's clubs) I found them a world away from their professional personas. I would have no hestitation in adding Faldo to my list.

If we were looking at retired pros there are a few I'd add. I'd love to play or have played with Seve, as my golfing hero but I'd also like to play with Trevino and perhaps a bit left field Tony Johnston. I love his commentating style and he seems able to chat about any subject with good grace and humour. Finally and for much the same reason that I like their personas how about a three ball with Radar and Beemer?

 

[Hendy]

I have to say the beef.

Reason being you would feel like your wasting their time. Were I get the feeling with beef he'd be up for a laugh and likely be up for a few wee in game bets etc

O and likely go in for a pint after

At the other side of the coin as a learning experience from where my games at and tips etc on the course I pick padraig Harrington.
