A deal with the Devil

I know warbirdlover is bored up there in the frozen North, so here is another poll. And the picture is of the flowering trees in the front of the shopping center. Spring is just around the corner.

The question:

If the Devil offered you the ability to be the greatest amateur golfer in the world for a year, during which you could concievably win the old Grand Slam just like Bob Jones, in exchange for the last 10 years of your life, would you take it?

The trick part is that you have no clue as to exactly how many years you have left, so you could die the day after the year is up.

Not a chance. I would rather hack it up for 10 years than play 1 great year of golf.

I might give up the last 10 years of my life to be the best golfer in the world for a year. (even though that is more than half of my life). But as soon as I have to make a deal with the devil, I'm out.

I voted no

I voted no, unless Mr Devil told me I would live to 95 so taking 10 yrs off would make it 85. In that case I would say yes.

I voted NO. I believe the Devil would not be able to increase my golfing ability. That's impossible. I've already tried. He simply would make everyone else a 35+ hcp. There would be log jam on the courses with 6 hour rounds. Ug
