Seeing as how I only posted about 15 rounds last year, and this year isn't looking any better, I would do this in a heartbeat.

And I'd pick option A - if only for the first two courses on the list.

[Steve Pozaric]

I would pick A and not play a round.

You did say not play a "round" for the year - that would mean I could practice and play partial rounds, right?  Hey, I am lawyer, what can I say...  

[A.G._Crockett]

A no-brainer; I wouldn't give up a year with my buddies, a year of early morning or late evening walks, a year of club competitions at this late date in my life, for two weeks anywhere.  Life is short, and playing golf on ANY course, is just too much fun and too important to me.

Of the two, I'd take trip A, but not at that price...

[Mike Hendren]

I'm in the gross minority in that I would pay the price just to drive down to Augusta and play Augusta National Golf Club twice.

Honestly.

I hold that as the holiest of all grails also.
There's just no way I'd give up a year of golf to play it.  Once the rounds were over I'd be quite literally dying.

But I do join you in the brotherhood of Augusta admirers.

 

[Tim Leahy]

Tom, what if the other option was you had to play the Ranch for the rest of the year?
Watch the SC/Stanford game every night?

Quick count:

15 take the deal,
12 say no

[Dan King]

I'd take the deal, assuming I don't have to keep score, hole out every putt, lug around 14 clubs or dress like a golfer.

Cheers,
Dan King

Remember that it is always possible to 'overgolf' yourself. Two
rounds a day is enough for any man with a week or more of solid golf
in front of him.
 --Horace Hutchinson, 1896

[Mark Pearce]

No.  Not tempted for an instant.  No-way I could go through a summer without playing golf.

[Bill Shamleffer]

Trip B.  For me having 2 daughters, working full-time and going to school part-time in the evenings, This trip will increase my golf for the year.  The only hard decision is A or B.

[Jeff Doerr]

I think I'd ask Wayne if I could join him on trip C, next choice would be B, Then A.  Yes, I'd say Yes to all the options.

Reasons:

I've played no course on C and there are a number I'd really really love to see. I've played a few on the A/B lists, but would gladly go back, even if it meant losing the summer rounds.

[J_ Crisham]

Trip A would be a no brainer if one could substitute San Francisco Golf for Pasatiempo-especially after Doak/Urbina complete renovation work. Interested to see the final product at SFGC. Throw in dinner at Scoma's in the Ken Venturi room- a year without playing is a small sacrifice.

I'd take the deal, assuming I don't have to keep score, hole out every putt, lug around 14 clubs or dress like a golfer.

Whadya mean, not dress like a golfer, the old geezers at the club thought your dress was positively stunning.... but only after I told them that you were the brains and an early backer of Google.

Every time you post this story, I move up in the Google hierarchy. I'm looking forward to eventually becoming the third co-founder.

Maybe I'm lucky to be going so slowly, because I may be going in the wrong direction
 --Ashleigh Brilliant

[Jeff Spittel]

And what am I supposed to do with the rest of my weekends that year? Spend time with the wife?  

Pass.

[George Pazin]

Of course, that's a lot more golf than I normally play in a year. I'd be one of the few for whom that would be not just a no-brainer, but an upgrade at that.
