Good stuff, favourite answer: "I was fined $200 for peeing on the golf course once. I mean, what could I do? There weren't enough port-o-johns!"

Some interesting questions and responses in the survey. I was very surprised at the one asking who puts on the better tournament. Not a lot of love for the USGA.

Love these anonymous surveys with honest answers.

I like this one

Would you rather play in a Super Bowl, a World Series or an NBA Final?

Super Bowl: 48%
World Series: 28%
NBA Final: 22%
Stanley Cup: 2%

I guess we know now that 2 % of the respondents in this poll are the Canadians on tour...

Plus maybe Jerry Kelly. He was all-city high school hockey in Madison WI.

looks like most Tour players are content to play on the right side of the fairway.

Like the fact they think golf is slow and a problem on tour.......

The Trump question really is quite revealing. Wonder if re-worded to something along the lines "Are you concerned/conflicted that PGA Tournaments are held at Trump Owned Courses?" would the answer be different?

Why would re wording the question change the answers? I don't see an issue here.

Nah. DJ picked NBA. He was a hell of a basketball player from what I've heard. Plus, he's from SC, so I'm sure he'd look like Bambi on skates.

They polled 50 players, so that 2% that said Stanley Cup would be one guy. Who is the most likely?
