OK, since a lot of us have time to kill, I was talking about the She;;'s Wonderful world of Golf series with a friend of mine.  I really wish they had kept going with those. 
If you had some choices, what venues would you like to see them played at and what players.  I would love to see a match played at Myopia Hunt between Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.
Who else and where?  Doesn't even have to be professionals gofers playing.  Could be sports celebrities, movie actors, etc.  I would love to see some of the top ranked amateurs playing in these (no prize money).  Lets have some fun.

[Mike Bodo]

Okay. I'll give a crack at this. How 'bout former and current NFL QB's Tony Romo vs. Aaron Rodgers at Cypress Point Club? A battle to determine who the best golfing quarterback is.

[Tom_Doak]

You do understand that most of those [modern] matches were paid for by the venues for promotional purposes, right?


Myopia Hunt Club isn't likely to pay to watch Spieth and JT.


But, assuming that the money is not a factor, what I'd like to see is a match between ANY two pros at Pacific Dunes or Ballyneal -- using 1970's and 80's clubs.


P.S.  It's too bad nobody was filming the Goodale-Doak v Hiseman-McEvoy match at Painswick.  I'd have liked to see how close we all came to making an ace on #10.  Three of the four were pretty close.

Eddie Pepperell v Bryson DeChambeau at Ballybunion in a stiff wind.

Ira, I'll one up you and go for J.B. Holmes vs. Bryson DeChambeau. You're easily looking at a 6 hr. match if the wind is up at Ballybunion.

Very good.
Sad to realize, in an Heraclitus 'you can't step into the same river twice' sort of way, that I'd have no interest in watching Tiger or Phil or Els etc play in such a match. 

Sadder still, in an 'I'm getting old' sort of way, is to realize that I can hardly think of a single younger pro that I'd want to watch either.
Maybe Ian Poulter.
Against Brandel Chamblee.

[Kalen Braley]

I was thinking Scott Hoch vs Pat Reed at TOC....a real barn burner!!

[Ian Mackenzie]

Match #1:


Players: Barrack Obama vs Donald Trump
Venue: Bethpage Black



Match #2:

Players: Phil vs. Tiger
Venue: Tobacco Road




Match #3


Players: Greg Norman Vs. Scott Hoch
Venue: ANGC

[Scott McWethy]

Tom, this is just for fun, nothing more.

What about that troll poster banned last year by Ran, named Nick (forget his last name) vs. the other fictional character who was also banned the same day? Play it at Trolling Golf Club.

How about Koepka vs. Ditka? But to give Koepka a fighting chance Ditka has to play left handed?  At Ditka's Bob O'Link.

Yes, I would want to watch Coach Ditka play left-handed, otherwise Brooks would have no chance.

[V. Kmetz]

Myopia Hunt Club isn't likely to pay to watch Spieth and JT.

How about Daly and Bubba?  That's who I wanted at Myopia...

[mark chalfant]

Tommy Fleetwood and Henrik Stenson at Lawsonia


Ben Crenshaw and Bernard Langer at Davenport

I think you've gotta take Tom Kite at Myopia 

[James Brown]

Tiger Woods versus Ben Hogan at Pinehurst #2.  1960 equipment.  Bet it would be a good match.


Bobby Jones vs. Harry Vardon at the Old Course. 

[William_G]

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort

[Ira Fishman]

+1


Hagen v Trevino at Muirfield.

[Greg Hohman]

I never tire of John Daly v. Adam Scott at Trump Nat'l in Rancho Palos Verdes in 1966:

https://www.adultswim.com/videos/specials/the-adult-swim-golf-classic

I would like to see a new format, foursomes. Same time, same place.

Daly and Scott v. Obama and Trump

[Kyle Henderson]

All the Strantz courses, Highland Links, Ohoopee Match Club and Boston GC, Cabot Links/Cliffs, Streamsong, Tata Iti, Barnbougle, Ballyneal.


I’d prioritize pros  that play fast and like to discuss course architecture, preferably ones that have been involved w design (Ogilvy, Clayton, Blair, Crenshaw, Mickelson, Spieth, etc)

[Peter Sayegh]

Ballesteros v Faldo. Pick the venue, I'd watch.

[Thomas Dai]

4bbb ....
... Seve Ballesteros & Jose Maria Olazabal versus any other pair at any course.
Atb

[Scott McWethy]

I thought of another one.  I would love to see Tom Watson and Lee Trevino in their prime face off at Sand Hills in Nebraska.  I love seeing all these combinations of players and venues. 

[John Kirk]

Ken Bakst and Ben Crenshaw at Friar's Head.
How about Tom Watson and Tom Lehman at Prairie Dunes?

[Pete_Pittock]

Zac Blair v Tony Finau v Geoff Ogilvy for 36 holes at either The Loop or Silvies Valley Ranch (Not channeling Kyle H)


Goodale v McBride at North Berwick

[Peter Flory]

Maybe Ian Poulter.
Against Brandel Chamblee.

That gets my vote.
