1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,159

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: an event in christ Church. Rumor has at the Saundi

3

00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: to have a look at the christ Church Golf Club.

00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: don't you love this?

9
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: Why don't I live? Yeah? Because they are how do

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: I what's the best way to describe it? Creating turmoil

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: in the golf industry, And I don't like turmoil. I

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: don't They're breaking in on the traditional game and they're

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: trying to do something else, and I'm not in favor

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: of it. I'm a fifty year uh what should we say,

15
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: a member of the USPGA, I'm a honory member of

16
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: the Royal and Ancient. I'm uh fifty years of being

17
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: with the European Tour, and I don't like the what

18
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: they have done to the game of golf. It's away

19
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: from its traditions, which I'm a traditionalist, and I just

20
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: don't don't condone what they're what they're trying to do

21
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: which is tearing, tearing the game of golf apart.

22
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: So apparently the Adelaide thing is awesome, and it sounds

23
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: like it's going to be great, and that wouldn't tempt you,

24
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: tempt me to what to go and have a look

25
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 1: if it's a great tournament, some wonderful golf.

26
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: Look, I know nothing about them coming to christ which

27
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: I haven't been informed of that. I wouldn't walk across

28
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: the street to see them play. In fact, if it's

29
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: in christ Church, I'll go to down to Millbrook as

30
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: far away as I can and enjoying my own golf

31
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: in my own time. No, it's a bit of a

32
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: semi disaster. And the sooner that the powers that be

33
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: that I've spoken of of the Royal and Ancient, the

34
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: European Tour, the PGA too in the United States, the

35
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: sooner they sit down around the table and sort it

36
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: out and get back to the traditions of the game,

37
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: the game as it was played, the better. So as

38
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned anyway, So.
