00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: ar You really one of our greatest sportsmen of all time,

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: and we're really really excited about this. Holy Moly kicks

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: off Monday night, seven thirty on Channel seven. It's the

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: Great White Shark, Great Norman.

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: Work the world?

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 3: How is everybody? Greg?

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: I wanted to have you on the show, Matt and

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: so much to talk to you about. I don't know

11
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: where we start. Let's just say first that we were

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: thinking of you over Christmas when you found yourself in

13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: that battle against COVID. Mate, how are you feeling?

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: No, I'm one hundred percent now. Thanks for asking. You know,

15
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 3: that was an interesting time to tell you the truth.

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: You know, everybody has different symptoms to it. I just

17
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 3: had an unusual sequence of so like a different symptom

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 3: every day. And as soon as I had the antibody

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: infusion within eighteen hours, I started really feeling good about well.

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: I was heading and I got my full strength back

21
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: about ten days later.

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: Is that the similar thing that the former president Donald

23
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: Trump had, is that the similar thing that you had?

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 3: Great No, he had regeneron I had something different I

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 3: had a thing called I'll probably say differently, but bam

26
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: lamb never map.

27
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, wow, you ma'am.

28
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: And that helped, like twenty four hours later you were

29
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: starting to feel better.

30
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely it was. Science has done a wonderful job

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: finding this pandemic, right, and then there's these antibody infusions.

32
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 3: I've done a wonderful job for me. It's great. My

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: wife had it. She's recovered from one hundred percent because

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: she got the antibody as well too. So no, it's

35
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: a testament to science and the people behind the scenes

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: to do a phenomenal job. Yeah.

37
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: Greg, did they say that because you were so fit

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: that helped in your recovery?

39
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: Well, of course, yeah, they you know, they said that

40
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: my lung capacity was really really good. Obviously when I

41
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: had my blood test on my there was a couple

42
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: of really there were really elevated markers in my blood tests,

43
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: and the doctors at my age thought, okay, this is

44
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: not good. You're a high risk. That's why we went

45
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: through that whole process we had to go through. But

46
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: you know, yes, you know, they stay closely wanted to it,

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: but they told me I didn't need to spend time

48
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: in hospital because my lungs and my respiratory system was

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: so strong.

50
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: You're a little bit angry too. I haven't seen you

51
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: that angry since I was the Johnny Walker Classic at

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: Royal Melbourne probably nineteen eighty eight and you missed a

53
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: part and I was asking for your signature on a

54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: Panasonic hat.

55
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: Well you can't, Greg, was mate.

56
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: Ray. You're the one who walked out, But you're the

57
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: one who walked down under green and asked.

58
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 2: I think I seld it at a charity option.

59
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: Thanks? Greg? Did you handle you know what? Not many

60
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: people know the etiquette of golf. If you go and

61
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: watch professional golf, you're not going to make a noise,

62
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: especially when you're teeing off all that. How did you

63
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: handle that stuff? Because there was a lot of a

64
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: lot of cameramen in it? Yeah, as well that liked

65
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: take that perfect shot you mid swing? Did you get

66
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: angry with that or were you quite reserved?

67
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: No? I wasn't. No, of course, you know, because you're

68
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 3: in that moment and quite honestly, I know what they're

69
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: trying to do. They're trying to capture that perfect shot

70
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: of the downswing or whatever the angle is or impact

71
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: or whatever. But you know, you spend so much time

72
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: focusing to hit that execute on that one shot that

73
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: doesn't take much wility to strupt you. As a matter

74
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: of fact, there were many times that I would actually

75
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: practice with loud noise and views around me just to

76
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: get used to it.

77
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's really really interesting. Now let's talk Holy

78
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: Moly and mini golf. I mean, eighteen holes is a

79
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: long way that you have to go to complete a

80
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: course out there. But what were you like at the

81
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: peak of your career. Did you take the kids in

82
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: play some mini golf when you were younger?

83
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: Greet, Yeah, no, I played. I played mini golf for sure.

84
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: My kids played many golf with me. And the great

85
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: part about Holy Moly is like, you know, when you

86
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: play a regular golf, whether you play a PGA trovana,

87
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: whether you play regular golf, when you hit a batshot,

88
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: you're visible, right, head drops. I hate this game. Kick

89
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: the ball, kick the te kick your bag, playing part

90
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: whatever you want to do, right, But with Holy Moly,

91
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: you know you can just laugh it off and walk

92
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: away and get a duney smacking you in the face.

93
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: It must be very entertaining to watch so Greg when

94
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: when it's not you getting knocked into water or getting

95
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: through some of these challenges. You must have had a

96
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: good laugh watching it.

97
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: I did, actually, and I still get a chuckle out

98
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: of when I see some of the ad front those

99
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: and the ads coming out and just see what people

100
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: go through, and it's just amazing. The competition is fierce,

101
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: to tell you the truth. I mean these people who

102
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 3: compete on it, they're deadly serious. They want to win.

103
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: And one hundred grands no chump change, right, Yeah, they're

104
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 3: putting themselves through a w to have a shot about

105
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: one hundred k. So I admire them. They're having a

106
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: lot of fun at the same time. And Cutos Cutos,

107
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: Eureka Productions and Channel seven for doing it, because you know,

108
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: I know they have it. It's very very successful over

109
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: here in the United States. But to see what they've

110
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: done to a little bit of different and I think

111
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: a higher standard in Australia is pretty impressive.

112
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 2: I can't wait to say it. Strangely, people were yelling

113
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: at Holly Molly when they saw the photo of you

114
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: and your blue board shorts as well. Greg, you must

115
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: be you must be sick of this.

116
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: You must be so sick of it. But is it

117
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: one of the obstacles in.

118
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: Sorry? Greg, you know what you know?

119
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: There is a hole. There is a hole in Holy Moly,

120
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: I think it's called I not. I think I know

121
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: it's called Norman destruct. You just walking the dog as

122
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: they asked me to stand behind that wall.

123
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: I love it and top us all on the course.

124
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Sarah, but you picked up the wrong top Greg.

125
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 2: So now that you're healthy and fit, because I follow

126
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: you on Instagram, I'm fascinated by your lifestyle and the

127
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: way you get out there. And there was other talk.

128
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: If we're talking about photos that drew a lot of

129
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: attention was the one where you're nude by the swim

130
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: But is there nude by the lake? Yeah? But is

131
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: there anything better than going for a swim in the nude,

132
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: which I know you enjoy. It is the best feeling?

133
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 3: Oh no, absolutely, I have you know, being naked as

134
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: one of the true testamus to oneself confidence, right, yeah,

135
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 3: And you know it really is. And if you feel

136
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: comfortable doing it, go go right ahead, you know. And

137
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, swimming naked, whether it's

138
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: in the mountains and well three degree temperature waters or

139
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: whether it's in the Pacific Ocean when it's twenty nine

140
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 3: degrees or twenty six degrees. It doesn't really matter. But yeah,

141
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 3: I do enjoy it.

142
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: Greg'ing the photo and I can tell you this. I

143
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: would never go walking naked next to you, young man,

144
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: that is for sure, because we'll move off that if

145
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: I got.

146
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: Wait a minute or so, wait a minute? Is that

147
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: a testament to what.

148
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: You guys have nothing in common?

149
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: Just say this.

150
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: You've been gifted more than just your golf golf talents,

151
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Before you go, Before you go, have

152
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: you seen a movie called The Legend of Bag of Ants?

153
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, I have?

154
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: Yes, what's that one?

155
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: Matt Damon's in it with Will Smith. Now, look, this

156
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 1: could be out there, Greg Norman, one of our greatest

157
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: sportsmen of all time. Matt Damon is here in Sydney. Please,

158
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,640
