Win the lottery, ...golf would be #3, or #4

.....If I could win the lottery, I would first donate to Shrine Children's Hospital , Shrine Children's Burn Institute , take care of mt family , THEN,....I would build my own private golf course , with very good security, Invite all the Pro golfers to visit anytime to practice, and relax ( for free) , then I could play with them and get help and pointers . ho ho ho .....What would you do if you won a lottery? , and what part of it would you devote to golf ?

Wow, this is weird. I had the same thought for a thread this evening coming home from the office. I saw one of our Florida Lotto signs, and wondered how much golf I could get in if I didn't have to work anymore! Would I get bored playing every day? Would I get any better? Would I still play with the same guys I do now? Would I spend more time on GR, REALLY gloating about how great year-round golf is? A lot to be considered.

I usually don't even buy Lotto tickets, but this thread popping up when I had the same idea this evening (about the time Slicer was creating this thread), may be enough of a coincidence to make me buy a few tickets. Now to find the right numbers!

I'd have the SWEETEST clubs....and lots of 'em. Private jet, flying all over the world playing cool courses, and of course I'd set my dad up and the rest of my golfing buddies so they could quit work and come with me!

I'd take care of family and closest of freinds first (all bills=GONE)...then we'd all go on a cruise I pick up the bill....closest of friends and family for a trip out to Pebble Beach to play some golf and then we'd travel back to the east coast for a week at Pinehurst....then I'd have a range built and of course join some exclusive resorts and courses around the world....I'd do something in the golf realm to keep busy...hey, do I have plans or what? LOL

My wife and I would split the winnings evenly 10 ways with brothers, sisters, our two daughters and her mom and dad. After that it would be nice to retire, play golf 3 times/week, visit the kids and grandkids, etc...

If I won the lottery I would pay off all my bills and then buy two dozen ProV1 balls with the remainder . . .

We had just talked about this a week ago and decided we would build a soup kitchen sort of thing here in town to feed the poor. Only we'd make it all organic and healthy food and make it open to anyone who just wanted a free meal. Although, I could just picture the people driving up in their Mercedes...

I have a drawing first

The first thing I would do if I won the Lottory is buy 100 infrared camera for fire Departments , and hold a lottery for them for towns that can not afford them. I would do this every year I could. Then I would take my Girlfriend, play alot of Golf and fish alot of Bass Tournaments and just enjoy life.
