We all have items we'd love to check off our personal to-do lists before we check out, and golf scribes are no different. Naturally, their bucket lists sound pretty similar to ours in a lot of cases.

What is your golf bucket list item?
• Jay Coffin: I’ve played Augusta National and Cypress Point and I’ve been lucky enough to play many of the best courses all over the world but Pine Valley is the only one left unchecked on my ultimate list. Somehow, some way, I’d love to find a way to make it happen.
• Jason Deegan: Become a near-scratch player.
• Steve DiMeglio: Augusta National membership.
• Bob Harig: Play Cypress Point.
• Dan Jenkins: I've already outlived my bucket list. What more could I ask?
• Garrett Johnston: Play Augusta National.
• Dave Kindred: A two-putt par at Augusta National's 12th.
• Alex Miceli: Play golf with Jack Nicklaus.
• Dan O’Neill: Cypress Point.
• Dave Shedloski: I'm already living it as a golf writer.
• Art Spander: Nothing really (covered 47 Masters, 155 majors, played virtually everywhere), but at my age I'd like to able to drive 200 as I did once upon a time — with a wooden-headed driver.
