5 Man Scramble Dream Team!! - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**crestorinfo** · 07-20-2011, 11:32 PM

You have a to play in a 5 man scramble. The rules are simple. Pick any 4 ppl in history (past or present) to play with you. Your team wins and you win $50,000,000.00. Who's your team to help bring home the money? The course is a random drawing of all the courses that have ever hosted a major. The course will be selected once you have made your team. Who you picking and why??

ok ill say
seve
tiger woods
h vardon
w anderson

**GohJHM9k** · 07-20-2011, 11:40 PM

Jack Nicholas
Pre-crash Tiger
Gary Player
Seve B.

I think I would have a pretty good chance at winning with those guys. I can't imagine a situation that they could not get out of.

**crestorinfo** · 07-20-2011, 11:42 PM

Jack Nicklaus
Seve Ballesteros
Ben Crenshaw
Jamie Sadlowski

**mrPronmaker** · 07-20-2011, 11:44 PM

Jack
Tiger
Arnie
Player

When I think of the game's all time greats, these are the names that come to mind.

**GohJHM9k** · 07-20-2011, 11:46 PM

Jack Nicklaus
Seve Ballesteros
Ben Crenshaw
Jamie Sadlowski

Doh! I should have thought of that.

**SpeavaJap** · 07-20-2011, 11:46 PM

Myself
Tiger (circa 2000-01) - for all around game
Camilo - because he is fun to play with and can flat out bomb it off the tee when given the opportunity
Ben Crenshaw - for putting
Lee Trevino - for creativity and comic relief

**neonasafluni** · 07-21-2011, 12:34 AM

First, I don't think that I would need a person like Seve to "get out of situations" or a Phil for his mastery around the greens. If I, along with 4 professionals, cannot hit a fairway or green in 5 shots respectively, then that is pretty lame in and of itself. So here is my team:

1) Me... because I am awesome.
2) Bubba Watson... to be the long driver of the group, that still has a decent chance to hit the fairway.
3) Calvin Peete ('81-'90)... because he was always the best at hitting the fairway from the tee. He is the "safety driver".
4) Fred Couples ('94-'97)... because he was always the best at hitting the green from the fairway.
5) Brad Faxon ('95-'00)...because he was ranked very high in putting and was typically near the top in the stat of average distance per made putt.

**medprof** · 07-21-2011, 12:48 AM

1. Seve - all around legend
2. Bubba - "bubba long" and be good fun to play with
3. Phil - for around the greens
4. GMac - suppose i have to pick one irish guy

**casinobonbone** · 07-21-2011, 01:01 AM

Dustin Johnson - can bomb it and putt
Tiger - pre-crash - clutch putter
Steve Stricker - is there anyone better from 100 yards and in?
David Toms - always near the top for GIRs and Fairways hit, plus a good putter

**GinaIsWild** · 07-21-2011, 01:06 AM

Dustin Johnson (Hammers it and can hit the fairway)
Seve (Creative as hell)
Tiger (Pre-crash, which is almost as legal as me picking Paddy from that stretch where he won the Open and the PGA

)
Sam Snead (Never a better ball-striker)
Jack Nicklaus (Should probably include the best golfer to live)

Oh and Bagger Vance as the group caddy.

**xtrslots** · 07-21-2011, 02:59 AM

Seve Ballesteros - Gets the ball on the green from anywhere
Dustin Johnson - Bombing Drives, good irons player
Brad Faxon - Putter/short game aficionado
Sam Snead - The man was a beeeaaassttt
Luke Donald - Seems to be good at everything....except majors

**xtrslots** · 07-21-2011, 03:01 AM

And I must say, I am shocked that only one other person took Faxon....so far

**Alina20100** · 07-21-2011, 03:05 AM

Me
Gmac
Rory
Lee Westwood
MAJ

We'd have a blast and we'd party afterwards. What a fun group that would be.

tapatalk: even available for lefties!

**pinawinekolad** · 07-21-2011, 03:17 AM

Tom Watson
Tiger Woods
Greg Norman
Loren Roberts.

**limpoporanique** · 07-21-2011, 03:17 AM

Tiger
Seve
Nicklaus
Palmer

Who else would you want in the clutch??

**mpxricyNimb** · 07-21-2011, 03:35 AM

Well, here is my would be team...

Jack Nicklaus- He's one of the best... him at his peak.
Phil- He has to be one of the best short game players of all time.
Bubba Watson- It's hard to find anyone that is that long, and can actually get on the fairways
Tiger Woods from his prime years- Simply because he won everything there was to win... does not suck to have a player that in his prime puts everyone to shame, and just his presence is enough to cause others to crumble.

**arraxylap** · 07-21-2011, 05:33 AM

Wow, can't believe I'm the first to take
-Bobby Jones in his prime - as dominant as Tiger perhaps?
Then pretty standard stuff,
-Jack in his late 20's
-Tiger circa 2000-2002

Can you imagine the burning competitive desire among them to be closest to the pin? I'm thinking even *I* can make those putts lol. But just in case, it is a 5 man scramble, I'll take
-Ben Crenshaw, say around 30 yrs old.

I'm thinking on a par 72 we come -22 or better, birdie all the 3's and 4's and eagle the 5's, with maybe the odd eagle on a driveable 4. We have all the distance (Tiger) and control (Jack and Bobby) we need, heck I can put one 225 in the middle on demand so I'll hit last.

**resegooredo** · 07-21-2011, 05:53 AM

Tiger
Jack
Tom Watson
Lee Trevino

and as our caddy...
