How Much For You?

How much for you to never play golf? Money wise?

I really can't say I could be paid any amount of money. 20 million would be great, and I'd be tempted, but I won't tell you guys that I'd take it, because I'm not sure I would.

For 20 million AFTER taxes...i would probably take it...golf is fun, but its really not all that important to me...now, there is NO amount of money that could persuade me to never ride my motorcycle again...

A half million and I wouldn't think twice about it. I would pay off my house and buy a nice boat and start fishing again. Don't get me wrong, I love golf and I am borderline addicted but it is still just a hobby for me.

Good question. I have no idea. Would I give it up for $100K? Probably. But I wouldn't be happy.

For a cool million, I'd give it up and be happy.

For 5 million after taxes I could give up this maddening game but I would never be happy about it. There is no amount of money that could make me give it up and be happy about it.

Very good question. I'm of the thought that the more money I had the more I'd like to spend it on playing golf.

Maybe I'd take up mountain biking. It can be just as scenic, better exercise, and endlessly less frustrating. I'd certainly have to rationalize it....

2 mil. after tax and I'll sign the papers.

That's the bitch of this question. If I had lots of money I would definitely want to play lots more golf.

No amount, dead serious. I wouldn't give it up no matter how much you paid me. I'd never have sex again before I'd give up golf.

now thats the right answer.

the thing that would get me is the comradery of all the great people i have met thru the game and hanging out on league nights trading stories over a few cold ones.

all the fun of poking fun at everybody and getting it shot back at you when ypu duff one or leave a putt 2 feet short.

Shit with 20Mil you could buy your own island, put your own golf course(s) on it and play to your hearts content...whose going to stop you? The money is already spent...its not like theyre going to get it back if they find out your playing golf...
