I would love to go back to the WAY old days to the beginning of golf.

I think I would like to see Francis Quimet win the US Open the most out of any tournament. My favorite story in golf.

My dad was a huge fan of Chi Chi Rodriquez of Puerto Rico. When Chi Chi sank a long putt he took off his hat and placed it over the hole as if he killed the ball and it was dead. Fans loved it but other golfers complained.

So, he changed his routine. When he sank the putt he acted like his putter was a sword with which he vanquished the bull (the ball).

Tom Morris
Ben Hogan
Bobby Jones
Francis Ouimet

I know three weren't professionals, but I think by limiting it to pros it takes away from one whole side of golf and its history.

Sam Snead

I played with an old guy who said he was in the gallery as a 20 something year old watching Snead play. He swore that if Snead was in his prime today and using a modern driver and ball he would average 350 yards off the tee.
