It was 124 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 2: because I feel when you're introducing a son into a 125 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 2: message situation, you need to give the personal heads up. 126 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: You can't wait for them to fall asleep. 127 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: And then yeah, finally he's gone to sleep. 128 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 2: Get in here. 129 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: Do your mind if my son comes in at some 130 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: stage and creeps in with an extra sit appearing head, 131 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: I mean you've got to ask the question. 132 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: Even don't sell it as your son, just a message therapist. 133 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, who looks just like me, she is smaller. 134 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 4: The reason that the mayor Parmison North Grant Smith was 135 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 4: standing up for his town was it was the FIFA 136 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 4: Women's World Cup two years ago.

Yes, yes, But with golf, I can 166 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 2: have the ball and it would look like I've never 167 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: played golf before in my entire life. 168 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 3: But I did it last or just over the last 169 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 3: summer where I had the yips of the tea so 170 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 3: bad that I hit it off the heel between my 171 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 3: own legs and it snapped Keysy's shaft in half standing 172 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 3: behind me. It was the most insane, bizarre fluke that 173 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 3: snapped his right under the handle. Because as I hit it, 174 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: we all ducked. And then you do that thing like 175 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: a gun's just gone off in the saloon and everyone 176 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 3: starts checking themselves like that. I just get And then 177 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 3: he picked his club up and it was just that 178 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: it'd snapped in half. It's ridiculous. It's a yeah, it's 179 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 3: it's one of those things. And like you say, but 180 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 3: the flip side of that is I've stood up on 181 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 3: the first tee at Takapuna where they are always so 182 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 3: far behind time that there's a gallery behind you, and 183 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: I absolutely drilled by one of the best drives. I 184 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 3: just floked it, hit the grain on the path or 185 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 3: and I turned around. It was the best feeling, and 186 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 3: I saw a guy that I vaguely recognized walk straight over. OK. 187 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 3: Good to see that. 188 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know. Well that's that. You've got to 189 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: think that it's gonna you gotta think it's gonna go well, 190 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: you can't be worried about not embarrassing yourself. That's that's 191 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: where it goes wrong. 192 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 3: Well, it's found money for you guys on Friday, because, 193 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 3: like you say, you're on the other side of the 194 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: hell you've done it. I reckon you take a real 195 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 3: condescending tone with everyone else.

And that's sort of the 253 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 3: level of competition. 254 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: See, I always thought, because I just sort of always 255 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: liking it a bit to cricketer, I always think why 256 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: I thought Australia should have a lot more professional golfers.
