Loren Roberts: "I'd like to win the U.S. Senior Open and I'd love to fly in the back seat of an F-16 jet."

Scott Hoch: "I'd like to go to Alaska and I'd like to go to outer space, although that's probably not going to happen anytime soon."

Jim Thorpe: "I'd like to walk into a casino and put a big bet down on a number at the crap table. Something in the neighborhood of $25,000 or so just to get the juices flowing. I'd really enjoy just watching the other people's faces and see their reaction. The other thing I'd like to do is win the U.S. Senior Open. I've been close a few times on the PGA TOUR. "

David Ogrin: "One is totally out of my control. Before I die, the Chicago Cubs have to win the World Series. I'd also like to have enough money to buy my own golf course without any debt and do whatever I want with it. If I want to have all my buddies from Waukegan show up and play for free, they can. If I want to run a junior golf tournament at 9:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, I can. "

Jeff Sluman: "See my daughter grow up, big successful and have a great family. The other thing would be to do something charitable that would make a significant difference in a lot of kids lives."

Fulton Allem: "I'd like to play at Augusta National one more time. I'd also like to buy my wife a beautiful house."

Donnie Hammond: "Take a ride in the latest Air Force jet and probably climb Mt. Everest."

Phil Blackmar: "Take my wife to Australia and New Zealand. I'd also like to spend two weeks in Ireland and Scotland, playing any course I wanted to while I was there."

Brad Bryant: "Get my kids through college and take a trip to a place called Christmas Island to go fishing. It's located out in the Pacific between Hawaii and Australia and is supposed to be pretty special."

D.A. Weibring: "I like to go to Italy and whatever I need to do to insure we have family-related gatherings every year."
