Who’d give up a body part to play Augusta National? How ’bout a kid?


Be careful what you wish for.

An old saying, sure, but one that still holds true. Particularly true for golfers in the coming days when they get their first 2022 look at Augusta National and dust off their annual proclamation: “Man, what I’d give to play that course.”

For 99.99% of you, there’s no need to be careful with that wish, because you have a better chance of meeting Elvis than plunging a tee into America’s most famous green turf.

“One hundredth of one percent? So you’re saying there’s a chance!”

OK, there’s a chance. And let’s say you’re offered that chance… at a price.

What would you give up to play those 18 holes?

At least your surrounded by beauty as you stare down a double-bogey.

Turns out, one in 17 of you would put your pet up for adoption. One in 50 say they would do the same with a kid. Their own kid, presumably. Frankly, I think I know that kid.

All these numbers come from a fella named Ben Treanor at a website called Time2Play, which bills itself as an “independent source of information about online gambling.”
