Best and worst prizes you have ever won in a golf tournament...
What is the BEST and WORST prize you have ever won in a golf tournament?
I'll start with my best prize!
It would have to be my overall nett, mens and ladies.
This Masport BBQ:
Pity I never got to use it though. -sold it for my driver
Worst prize:
Hmmmm..... this nasty wooden chest!
Looked like a coffin!
That chest is still in my room, it scares me sometimes..... having a coffin kinda chest staring at me
Funny how you got rid of your best prize, and kept your worst one!
Anyhew, I've only competed in 2 tournaments that actually gave prizes, so I'd have to say
A) Best: Ping Anser 2 putter
B) Worst: The other prize (for 2nd place the following year) which was a few golf balls (I think I got like 18 balls, all of which I have since lost )
One tournament, I won TWO of these Wood Brothers persimmon "Kool Kat" drivers (1 for longest drive, 1 for best overall (scramble team), two trophies, and a really nice lined pullover/windshirt.
WORST:
Several silly, idiotic golf items, but the worst has to be one of those little Umbrella things to stick in your bag when it rains. BLEEEAAACHHHHH!!!
Worst - Stupid suction thing to put on the end of your putter to pick your ball up. At the same tournament (playing with my dad as he visited the regional office) the boss of the local office for the company my dad worked for had the longest drive but it was in the rough. I actually outdrove him but dared not speak up.
Best-Wall trophy,$150, a vest, a jacket, my photo in an article in the quarterly publication.
Worst- Some hammer-screwdriver-wrenchy thingy mick-jiggy.(I'm a general contractor).-Adam

Actually - VERY well. It's not nearly as long as the newer Titanium models, but it gives me a very flat/medium ballflight, and fairly good control. I had it re-shafted with a Grafalloy ProLIte S-flex shaft, and it works great.
And.........it SOUNDS wonderful! Man, I can't tell you how schweet of a "croooaaacckkk" sound it makes at impact! I don't take this club out very often, but occasionally on the driving range - people will stare at you, or ask you why you're hitting a wood driver. Funny!
Which was best and which was worst? I know what my answer would be.
That's the only time I can remember ever winning anything. So I guess it's both?
Funny thing is, after I won I called my wife. After telling her I won the $200, she immediately replied "I get half". This is common with us, whenever we go out to a casino, if one of us wins we split the pot between us. Anyway, I figured after paying for my entry fee, lunch for me and my brother-in-law and "soda's" for a couple of the fella's who were playing with me. My winning the tourney netted me about $-25.00 I should have told her I won a plaque and left it at that.

I am all too familiar with the "Halfsies" syndrome! I've learned to deflate, or better yet, omit any stories of cash winnings. Whenever the cash has been enough to give me a guilty complex, I take the family to dinner and a movie. Sometime during dinner I slip in a comment that the night's festivities were paid for by my golf buddies!

Sometimes we just learn things the hard way I guess. Maybe next time I will tell her I lost $200 bucks and am expecting a C-note waiting for me on the counter when I arrive home.
