If you could have any part of a PGA tour player's game...

What would it be? In Golf Magazine, they asked 4 pros and 3 of them said Tiger's short game, so that isn't allowed.

For me, I would want Fred Funk's accuracy. Being in the fairway makes everything else so much easier.

I would want the amount of time they have to practice, If I could practice that much then I would probably be pretty darn good too.

(the bank account wouldn't hurt too much either)

I would love to have the short game control many of them have.

I would have to say the time to practice because where is the fun in just arriving at a destination? You must enjoy the journey there

Their ability to get up and down. I was working the 15th green at the Charles Schwab last October. It is one of the hardest holes to get on in regulation but almost everybody was able to get up and down for a par.

Exactly, the ability to hit the fairway off the tee. I'll take my distance with a typical pro's accuracy any day. If I could hit it as straight with my driver and 3 wood as they do, I bet I could shoot par on most courses. I wouldn't want to just magically be handed a pro's short game, putting or even iron shot ability. That's where all the fun in the game is.

The most nerve racking and score killing shots are the tee shots. If I could just get those over with, the game gets a lot more fun and relaxing.

I'd like to make it back up like a pro -- not that I'd score any better, but it would be fun to watch.

I would like to have Brad Faxon's putting. That is going to lower your score no matter what.

Short game around the greens. I could make the putts if I could get it as close as those guys do routinely.

The ability to go to the green is indeed the biggest difference between us and them.

The consistency of swing, seeming almost effortless. Especially folks like Els, Couples, DLIII, etc. I'd like to have folks watch me and say, "Nice swing!", and really mean it!

I think id take a tour pro's long game. My short game is not up to scratch, that much I realise, but with work I could make is reasonably good. On the other hand, I doubt I will ever get my long game anywhere close to a tour pro.
