Speaker 1: What is going on, Little Go Lo Podcast. We're about

24
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: a week away from the second major of the year,

25
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: the PGA Championship at Valhalla. I like this new schedule

26
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: which they did several years ago, putting the PGA up

27
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: instead of the last major of the year. I think

28
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: it makes it a little bigger than said of after

29
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: the US Open and the British Open and then it's

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: just it feels like a PGA tournament on steroids. But

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: this is gonna feel big in a couple of weeks.

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: I want to hit on just some storylines going into that.

33
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: I didn't have a chance. I talked a little bit

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: about on the Football Pod Tigers line, and I got

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: some major question marks. We've been talking about NBC and

36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: the production of their broadcast. They're obviously cutting costs, doing

37
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: something a little weird for the US Open. And then

38
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: we got some young phenoms. I mean, there's a fifteen

39
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: year old, a sixteen year old doing some pretty big things.

40
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: So we're gonna hit on some golf topics as well

41
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: as answering some of your questions on Instagram. I put

42
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: out a little thing on my story, got a bunch

43
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: of replies. Also have some questions in the DMS. This

44
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: is all on the at go Low pod at golopod.

45
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: If you have any golf questions, you got to fire

46
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: in there because if you go in my regular podcast DMS,

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: you'll get lost in the shuffle with football stuff. And

48
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: it's just this is an Excel spreadsheet. I can't like

49
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: separate them. So if you want to ask a golf

50
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: question anything, everything's on the table at golopod is the

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: easiest way to get in. So UH that's what I

52
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: would recommend when you want to get in on the

53
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: UH this podcast. Before we dive into some golf stuff,

54
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you about my friends, my partners, and

55
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: an app I've been using for a long time game time.

56
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: Here's what I need you to do. Download the app.

57
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: You want to go to a concert, you want to

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: go to a game, baseball game? UH? If you do,

59
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: you want to watch Minnesota. Do you live in the

60
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: uh the Upper I guess it's not the Northeast, but

61
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: in that region Timberwolves might win the NBA Championship. They

62
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: looked incredible. Do you live in New York? Uh? Do

63
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: you live in southern California? And while I watch the Dodgers,

64
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: so show a Otani hit a home run the other

65
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: day to straightaway center field. Absolute bomb. I would highly

66
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: recommend using my friends at game Time. You just download

Speaker 1: the user experience. I mean, we've used a million apps

70
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: at this point. Not every app has the same user experience,

71
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: and the user experience on this one could not be

72
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: any more seamless. I've been a user for probably about

73

80
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: some pretty big stories going into Valhalla in a week.

81
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: First and foremost, the heavy favorite, the guy who's currently

82
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: on a little mini like Tiger Run, who's dominating the

83
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: golf world, is not playing this week. And I saw

84
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: a great on Instagram, but I think it was a

85
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: tweet that basically says it feels like Scotti. Scheffler's wife

86
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: has been pregnant for fourteen months, and I think this

87
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: goes back to the Masters, when everyone made such a

88
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: big deal that he would leave and she wasn't even close. Well,

89
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: now it's close, and I think in their world, ideally

90
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: it happens sometime this week, but there is a chance.

91
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never had a baby, but I've been

92
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: around enough women who have that you never know, and

93
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: it's not inconceivable that this thing bleeds into next week.

94
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: And until she has it, I think it does put

95
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: into question him for next week. But he stated very

96
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: clearly what he will and will not do. He's not

97
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: gonna go Rudy Gobert and skip it like he is

98
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: going to attend the birth of his first child. Heavy favorite,

99
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: And I think if it happens this week or even

100
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: bleeds into early next week, I don't think it's that

101
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: big a deal. I don't. I think he's proven that

102
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: he could show up, but the lack of sleep, the

103
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: lack of preparation. I've said for a while, if the

104
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: baby did not exist, like he was not scared, Like

105
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: he just got her pregnant this week, she was gonna

106
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: have a baby after the major season. Sometime you do

107
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: the math, you know what I mean. I think he

108
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: could have a very good chance forty to one to

109
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: win the Grand Slam. We talked about this last week.

110
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Those odds are pretty tasty. This is the only thing

111
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: that throws a little curveball. So I think he didn't

112
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: play this week on purpose. I think they're praying, start pushing,

113
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: do whatever you have to do. But it's definitely a

114
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: possibility until that baby pops out, that it's going to

115
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: bleed in the next week, and his status would just

116
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: come into question. And obviously if she hasn't had it

117
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: and he starts playing, I think any of us that

118
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: have a forty to one ticket on him to win

119
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: the Grand Slam, like he easily could pick up and leave,

120
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: no matter if he's up by five. So that's probably

121
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: the biggest story right now because he's the best player

122
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: in the world by a wide margin. And if this

123
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: did not exist, I think anyone would be shocked if

124
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: he didn't win this tournament. But this just adds an

125
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: element of uncertainty, and anytime you have uncertainty with something

126
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: you can't control. This is not an injury where it's like, oh,

127
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: he could manage the pain. You can take ice bass

128
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: at night, he can stay off his feet like. This

129
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: is not one of those things like Ludvic pulled out

130
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: of this week, which is a little concerning because one thing,

131
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: and I've been saying this for a while, and I've

132
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: made this mistake. I think you got to be very

133
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: careful with your bankroll when betting winners. Like if you're

134
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna bet five hundred dollars on a golf tournament, which

135
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: is obviously, you know, a lot of money for most

136
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: people you know, you probably would take ten to twenty

137
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: percent of that and sprinkle it on guys to win.

138
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: You are much better off sprinkling it on top tens

139
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: in top twenties. But even when you do that, I've

140
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: lost a lot of money. Uh, three weeks ago at

141
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: the RBC, when all I did was put all my

142
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: bankroll on Cam Young, I hammered him to top twenty,

143
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: and I hammered him to top ten. It's like a portfolio.

144
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: I didn't have any there was no balance. I went

145
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: all in on one person and he was terrible and

146
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: he didn't even come close to a top twenty. And

147
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: last week I almost did it again with Mark Hubbard

148
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: at the most random, irrelevant tournament of the year, Craig Ranch,

149
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: and right at the end, I'm like, you know what,

150
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: I'll throw a couple hundred dollars on Jake Nap at

151
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: seven to one to top ten, and it saved me.

152
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: But one thing I'm going to try to consistently do

153
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: is spread out my bankroll because I've done it before,

154
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: gone all in, and it can really bite you in

155
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: the ass. The other thing obviously with live betting. But

156
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: Ludwig is a guy that I already have a wager

157
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: on at Valhalla because after Jake Napp made me some

158
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: money instead of losing like twelve hundred dollars, made me

159
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: nine hundred dollars, I sprinkled it on him and Max

160
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you get the news

161
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: that he's got a knee injury and he's pulling out.

162
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: Now I did a little recon Urd is not that

163
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: big a deal and he's definitely playing next week as

164
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: of right now, but it is definitely concerning because I

165
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: think if he's healthy, he is going to be US Open,

166
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: Valhalla and the Masters. We'll see what the British Open.

167
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: That's kind of a different animal, but I think those

168
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: three tournaments for the next several years. I mean, he's

169
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: gonna be a guy that's sixteen, seventeen, fifteen, fourteen in

170
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: that range and a top three or four guy on

171
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: the board. But you get a knee injury like that's Honestly,

172
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't regret making the wager, but I don't know

173
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: if I would do it if I knew the guy

174
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: was injured or was gonna be injured. Maybe he heard

175
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: it yesterday or maybe it's been a nagging thing. And

176
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: then the other big curve ball as Koepka is, it's

177
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: hard to know what to make of live the courses

178
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: they play. We've talked to Nauseum about they're kind of random,

179
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: they're kind of weird. But he did go over to

180
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: Singapore and win, and I think last year he did

181
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: the same thing. He won right before the PGA Championship

182
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: which he obviously then won, So he was a guy.

183
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: Immediately when I saw that he won in Singapore, I

184
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: looked at DraftKings. He was twenty to one. He currently

185
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: is now sixteen to one. Now, the hard part about

186
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: golf betting is like I hammered him for the Masters

187
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: and he wasn't even in the mix. So how much,

188
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: especially with these live guys. I expect them live guys

189
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: to be in the mix, But does that carry over?

190
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: I do think with him though specifically, he takes these

191
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: majors very seriously. He's proven it now for five six years,

192
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: so one of these majors, if not multiple of these majors,

193
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: he's going to be a factor. And historically, like the

194
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: PGA Championship's been a tournament he's very comfortable with. He's

195
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: won it three fucking times. So he's the defending champ.

196
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: I'd be a little shocked. Regardless of the resort course

197
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: they just played fifteen hours away. How hard that course is.

198
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: That's not really the point, because John Rahm didn't win it,

199
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: Bryson didn't win it, DJ didn't win it. Like the

200
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: guy came to win. Because I think he's dialing in.

201
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: He's probably a little embarrassed about his master's performance, and

202
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: to me, Vig would have been my favorite. Now with

203
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: this knee injury, I think you got to take Brooks

204
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: very very seriously, separating Scotty with kind of the un

205
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: But like I said, spreading out the bets is a

206
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: much easier way on the heart because it's golf. It's weird.

207
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: This is not the Chiefs versus the Niners, where you lose,

208
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: it's only one. It's just you play an opponent. There

209
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: are so many different variables. Obviously the stagger tea times

210
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: on Thursday and Friday you get the bad end of

211
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: the draw. I'm gonna go with Ludwig Max Homer. I

212
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: think Tommy Fleetwood is another guy this week to keep

213
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: an eye on. But we're almost there to another tournament, because,

214
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: let's face it, we got four tournaments a year that

215
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: really kind of matter to us that watch golf. Now

216
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: for those of us to gamble, we pay a little

217
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: more attention to these random tournaments. But how much do

218
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: they mean? Who knows, like, especially Craig Ranch, means nothing

219
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: this week at Quail Hollow, you would say, means a

220
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: little more when you look at the list of winners

221
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: Rory's won this a couple times. Home's won here. Justin

222
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: Thomas won his first major here in twenty seventeen. This

223
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: is a big boy golf course, in this type golf

224
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: course that to me, if you play well here, I

225
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: think you got factor that in the following week. Something

226
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: happened last week after we recorded the Go Lo podcast.

227
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods is, I mean, in his heyday is probably

228
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: my favorite athlete because I was like older than when

229
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was in his heyday, so I could really

230
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: experience it. And I'll never forget my senior year in college.

231
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: I was moving out and all we had was a

232
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: TV and watching him play RockA on Sunday and then

233
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: then watching on Monday by myself in this house that

234
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: was empty. He's he meant a lot to my sports

235
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: watching youth. You know, I consumed like a lot of

236
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: people in the two thousands, Eldrick tiger Woods. I love golf.

237
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: He's the best golfer I've ever seen and probably ever

238
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: will see. And there was nothing like him in part

239
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: of Tiger Woods. And I owned a ton of tiger

240
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: Woods polos, Tiger Woods hats. Even as I've gotten bald,

241
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: I've bought some of those Nike Tiger Woods because they

242
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: cover my entire head anytime he plays I watch, even

243
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: though obviously he's very compromised. Now, I just think this

244
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: Sunday Red thing is going to be a failure, and

245
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: I think there are several elements of this one. He

246
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: wants it to be kind of like a higher end

247
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: luxury brand. So I wrote down the prices. A ballmarker

248
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: is fifty dollars, a T shirt is seventy, a hat's forty,

249
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: which isn't crazy. A polo is one twenty to one fifty,

250
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: which i'd says a lot. A sweater is two bills,

251
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: and the pants are about a buck seventy. It's expensive stuff.

252
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods in his heyday sold a lot of shit.

253
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: I've said forever that he revolutionized the business casual in

254
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: America because forever people wore weird stuff there weren't. The

255
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: polos were huge, even go back to some of the

256
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: pictures when he first started on tour, and then when

257
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: they created that dry fit material, all the other companies

258
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: followed suit, and everyone that worked, you know, a white

259
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: collar job that did not or hell farmers, I don't

260
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: care what you did construction. You know, if you were

261
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: construction management guy, if you didn't wear a suit to work,

262
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: you could throw on a pair of jeans and a

263
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: tucked in polo. That fabric dry fit fit well. Everyone

264
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: was wearing it all over the place. Changed the game.

265
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: But he had two things going for him. One, he

266
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: was easily, very early on, became one of the most

267
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: famous athletes in the world because he was the best

268
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: player at a sport that is just difficult because you're

269
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: playing one hundred and fifty people and he was beating

270
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: the shit out of all of them. He destroyed everybody.

271
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it was not a fair fight. And then

272
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: combined with that, he had the Nike marketing campaign machine

273
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: behind him, so Tiger didn't really have to sell. He

274
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: just had to dominate at golf, and he looked so

275
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: sweet in the clothes, and the Nike marketing machine was

276
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: incredible with commercials. It was the ultimate combination of sales.

277
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: It's like everyone wanted something with Tiger Woods, even if

278
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: he didn't play golf, probably had a polo, probably had

279
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: a hat. You probably had something, and if you went

280
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: into a store, you knew exactly what that was. The

281
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: tw the different colors the Sunday Red and then he

282
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: created this company, Sunday Red, which, listen, creating a brand

283
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: from scratch is tough. It's not easy to pick a name.

284
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: Anyone that's Red shoe Dog, Nike was kind of randomly picked.

285
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't even supposed to be that name. So it's

286
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: not some of these things that are created that now

287
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: have a lot of brand equity. McDonald's was just the

288
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: last name of the brothers that started the burger chain

289
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: that Ray Kroc ran into and basically stole the idea

290
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: for him. So I'm not gonna hate on Sunday Red,

291
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: even though, let's face it, it's not that great. I

292
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: would have just gone with tw Here's the problem. Tiger

293
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: Woods is not a sales guy. I watched some of

294
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: the clips of him doing his PR campaign last week

295
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: one it made me shake my head. It's not necessarily

296
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: his fault, but his PR team sent him on what

297
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: they would have done back in two thousand and five.

298
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: Good Morning America, Let's go on some morning show with

299
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: Carson Daily, Let's go on with Jimmy Fallon. Who are

300
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: you marketing this to? Let's face it, you're marketing this

301
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: to someone thirty five to fifty five with a higher

302
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: household income with some coin. Those people are not watching

303
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: any of those shows. My mom watches Good Morning America.

304
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: A lot of older people watch that show. But that's

305
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: not who really Tiger Woods is marketing. He should be

306
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: marketing this to me, a forty year old guy plays golf,

307
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: has a little coin, just would buy these clothes. Potentially,

308
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: here's another problem. He's coming into a saturated market, one

309
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: that walks into a pro shop or a golf shop.

310
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: There are a million brands that all kind of resonate

311
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: with us, Travis Matthews, Johnny Oh, Peter Malar, and they're

312
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: not cheap, but they have brand equity that like. Yeah,

313
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: I like the Travis Matthews shirt. It fits pretty well

314
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: on me. I know a lot of people. I love

315
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: Peter Mallar, I love Johnny Oh, buddy of mine. Chris

316
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: just got me a nice polo for taking him golfing

317
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago. Johnny Oh looks sweet. So Tiger

318
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: is competing against those, but those people are already pushing

319
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: it hard selling it. Tiger Woods is not a very

320
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: good salesman. I would have said, Tiger don't do any

321
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: of the crap. The morning shows or the late night shows.

322
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: Go on, some big podcasts or some big YouTube show.

323
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: Go on, Pat McAfee, go on with Colin, go on,

324
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: no laying up or barstool go on, pardon my take,

325
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: go on, go do something more relevant to me. It

326
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: just these guys don't know how to sell. He never had,

327
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: He never had to sell. All he had to do

328
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: was play and dominate, and that sold itself, and Nike

329
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: was behind him. Well, now he doesn't have Nike behind

330
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: him anymore. And his number one ability to sell was

331
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: his play. Well, he doesn't play anymore, plays like four

332
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: times a year, and God love him, he's just not

333
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: very good anymore relative to the dominant player that he

334
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: once was. Like MJ hasn't dribbled the ball professionally in

335
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: whatever twenty plus years. It doesn't matter. He has Nike

336
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: behind him, having that backing. They do this naturally. So

337
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm watching Sunday Red One. The marketing doesn't really exist

338
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: because that's not the business he's in. And then Tiger

339
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: is just to pound the pavement like high Noon. Why

340
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: is high Noon so big? Now they got with Portanoy,

341
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: and Portanoy starts selling the shit out of it, and

342
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: now it's fucking everywhere. You need someone to sell if

343
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: you don't just have like Lebron James or Kobe Bryant

344
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: wearing your shoes, because that was always Tiger was he

345
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: just Tiger was wearing it, so you wanted to wear it. Well,

346
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: now I don't care that he wears it, barely breaks

347
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: seventy five, barely can walk seventy two holes. I'm not

348
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: trying to talk shit about him. It's not necessarily. I mean,

349
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: it's kind of his fault, self inflicted car accident, but

350
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: it changed his career, So I'm just betting against his company.

351
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: I do not think it's gonna work because I'm the

352
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: type guy who can walk into a store and if

353
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: I see a polo I like. Regardless, I'm not gonna

354
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: pay five hundred dollars for a polo, But if I

355
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: really believed in the brand, wanted to support it, liked it,

356
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: I'll spend probably more than I should on a couple

357
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 1: of collared shirts. I would not buy these shirts. One.

358
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't even think the logo looks that good. Why

359
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: would he not just continue somewhat of a similar logo.

360
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of people say the famous fist pump,

361
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: like Michael's logo is very just you never forget it.

362
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: It's etched in stone in our brains. And I think

363
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: Tiger made a very very bad mistake. But I don't

364
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: even blame him. This is not his business. He does

365
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: not understand because he's never really had to do it.

366
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: So I, I guess I'm just shorting this idea. I

367
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: do not think it's gonna work. And that pains me

368
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: to say that. We've been talking about the NBC situation

369
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: with the US Open. It's just it's kind of sad,

370
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: and they ended up going with like a four man booth.

371
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: Brandal Shambilee, Brad Faxton to me, and I like brand

372
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: I think Brandal's really good, but like Brando's the pre

373
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: and postgame show, like that's where he dominates, especially postgame

374
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: live from the tournament ends on a given day Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

375
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: You go to see what brand says, what happened, you know,

376
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: forcing him to do it, It's almost like there's just

377
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: being cheap because he's already under contract. Same thing with Faxon.

378
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: He plays a pretty big role on that. You know,

379
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: they refuse to sign a bigger name to just be

380
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: in the Can you imagine another sport doing this like

381
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: this was their pre and postgame host and they're gonna

382
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: put him on the broadcast just because you're cheap. I

383
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: think we're at a tough time right now with some

384
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: of these bride podcast rights because they're spending so much.

385
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: And this is a golf problem. All these people are

386
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: spending so much on the rights for the life sports

387
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: even though this technically is cheap because Fox span half

388
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: of it. And this is what we get kind of

389
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: a throne together situation and the no laying up guys

390
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: have been saying it for a while. I don't care

391
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: what you say. I don't care how much you pretend

392
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: to care. In life, words don't mean much. You got

393
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: to judge people by their actions, and NBC's actions are

394
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: simply saying we do not care. We just don't care

395
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: that much. Maybe we don't have the money, maybe it's

396
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: a combination of it both. But and this is not

397
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: an indictment on Brando Chambily, He'll be fine. But imagine

398
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: another network. What if like the NBA, It's like we're

399
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: just gonna throw Steven A. Smith on the NBA finals.

400
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: Now it's not really Steven's job. He plays another role

401
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: and you can debate whether you like him or not,

402
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: Like his role is pretty successful. Clearly you wouldn't. And

403
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: that kind of feels what they're doing here, And it's

404
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: kind of sad because this tournament's kind of a big deal.

405
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: And last, but not least, there are a couple of

406
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: young guys. I mean, there's a fifteen year old named

407
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: Miles Russell who was in the mix a couple of

408
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago. To win a corn Ferry tournament fifteen years

409
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: old on a given week, the corn Ferry Tournament is

410
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: equally as hard as the PGA tournament, given how low

411
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: you have to go, not necessarily to win it, but

412
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: to make a cut. I mean, some of their cuts

413
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: are like seven eight under. If you have one double bogie,

414
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: you're not sniffing the cut like you gotta shoot like

415
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: sixty seven sixty nine. There's no seventy four to seventy

416
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: like see audios, godspeed, see you next week. For a

417
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: fifteen year old to make the cut, that's a remarkable accomplishment,

418
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: it really is. And then last week, first time in

419
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: like eleven years, a sixteen year old made the cut

420
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour Listen, I started playing golf in

421
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, early mid nineties. Golf was a lot more

422
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: difficult then because of the equipment was way shittier. I

423
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: can play once a month, and it's not like I'm

424
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: that great, but I can still. I've been playing a

425
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: long time. I just played last weekend, hadn't touched the

426
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: club in three weeks, and I shot seventy six. I

427
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: would never have been able to do that in nineteen

428
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: ninety six. So the equipment plays a huge role, and

429
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad the equipment is as good as it is now.

430
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: It makes the game a lot more fun. Most of us,

431
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: the ninety nine percent of people ninety nine point nine

432
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: percent of people that play golf are not professionals. They're

433
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: amateurs and they're doing it for fun to enjoy themselves.

434
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: But I do think it's gonna get easier and easier

435
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: because of the equipment. You know that it's just so

436
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: good that you could hit it so far, your misses

437
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: aren't as bad, and it's playing a role. I'm not

438
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: four the rollback, but I do see the arguments. I

439
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: don't want them to do it, but I do think

440
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: this is a direct indictment when it comes to, you know,

441
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: to the equipment manufacturers. Okay, let's bang out some questions

442
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: because we got a lot of mail bag questions at

443
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: Golo Pod. At Golo Pod Fire in those dms, start

444
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: with cal question for the pod. Why are Jordan and

445
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: JT so bad? Jordan didn't even make the cut at

446
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: the Byron Nelson this weekend with an awful feel. I

447
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: feel like they should be in the peak of their

448
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: powers and they can't even hold Scotty's shock. I mean,

449
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: JT won a Major a couple of years ago and

450
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: won the Players a couple of years ago, like he

451
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: has been more recently, much more successful than Jordan Spieth.

452
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: I just don't think Jordan' spise that good anymore. Whether

453
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: it's he's not very accurate off the tee, whether he

454
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: just can't consistently play well over a thirty six seventy

455
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: two hole span. I love him, like who doesn't. But

456
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: I was watching him because I had the CJ Cup

457
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: on TV, and on the ninth hole, it's a par five,

458
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: he hits this beautiful drive. This is on Friday, and

459
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: he's kind of hovering right around the cut. I think

460
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: the cut was at five or six under and he

461
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: was at five hunder, and he has a hybrid like

462
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty yards in and he just pumps

463
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: it into the trees. It's a shot like me or

464
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: you would hit, and he just kind of drops the club,

465
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: shakes his hat head and puts his head down, kind

466
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: of walks. I think he's just not a very consistent player,

467
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: and maybe as you age, your body changes, you know,

468
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: part of it. He was obviously in the in his

469
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: heyday in fifteen and sixteen, an incredible ball striker, but

470
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: he was also one of the greatest putters we've ever

471
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: seen for like an eighteen month span, and I think

472
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 1: when you take away the putting now isn't great. But

473
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: you just watch him play, you're just not very confident

474
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: he's going to hit a big shot. It's just it's

475
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: really that simple, which is, you know, kind of sad

476
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: when you really think about it. Hey, John, big fan

477
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: golf question for you. When these live guys took those

478
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: huge checks to leave for the PGA, to leave the PGA,

479
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: do you know any details and how long the deals

480
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: were for? If Scheffler continues to dominate, don't you think

481
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: some of the alphas like Brooks and Bryson, who have

482
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: each had similar runs, will get jealous and want to

483
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: try to put Scotty in his place. That's the crappy

484
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: part about Live. I mean, we really don't have any information.

485
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: A lot of people speculate their three and four year deals,

486
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: some might be shorter depending on the player. You know,

487
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: Live basically got full Go two years ago. Right in

488
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: the middle of twenty twenty two is when everyone initially left,

489
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: and then some guys went later. Remember cam Smith went later,

490
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: Rob just went, Neeman went a little later. So I

491
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: don't know. This is the crappy part about this whole ordeal.

492
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: Is there just so much unknown. No one has any clue.

493
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: And it's pretty clear that everyone eventually is gonna come

494
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: back and play together. But I don't know. Man, it sucks,

495
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: but it's not public information. Feels like the Masters was

496
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: the extent of Homa's game. He was on his game

497
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: all week and just couldn't hang with Scottie. I was

498
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: rooting for so hard for him, and it just wasn't there. Yeah,

499
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: it's tough, man. I mean, sometimes if you're gonna lose,

500
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: there's nothing like losing to the best player, and I

501
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: think it's easy for him to hang his hat high

502
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: when he got a little unlucky on twelve. But I

503
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: like him at Valhalla. I like him a lot. I

504
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: put a couple hundred dollars on him down thirty to one.

505
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: I saw he's thirty five to one. I wish I

506
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: would have held off a little little bit. But regardless,

507
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: like I think he's gonna be a factor. I think

508
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: that was a huge, huge hurdle for him to kind

509
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: of get over. He'd only really played well in one

510
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: major in his career, to compete, to be in the mix,

511
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: to have the lead, to be right there at Augusta, which,

512
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: let's face it, there's more pressure at Augusta than there

513
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be at Valhalla. Not that there's not pressure

514
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: at the PGA or the US Open, but there's nothing

515
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: like the Masters. There really isn't. And I saw him

516
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: out there when I was out playing, when I play Saturday,

517
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: he was out there working. He practices a lot. He

518
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: practiced a lot of TBC for hours, So I think

519
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: he's taking the shit really seriously. I mean, he's been

520
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: doing that for a while, but I think he's proven

521
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: when he's won, He's won at tough places. It's why

522
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: his game always should have translated to the majors. And

523
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean even Tiger Woods didn't win every major. Scott,

524
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: He's going to be off on some I would be

525
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: stunned if over the next couple of years Homa doesn't

526
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: win a major. He's definitely going to be I think

527
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: at a top ten in a lot of these. So

528
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: I like Max a lot at Valhalla. Could you explain

529
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: what the golf pros are carefully studying in those notebooks

530
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: they carry with them. I understand it as yardages, but

531
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: do they draw diagrams of how things move on the green?

532
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: Do they have notes from previous rounds of different distances

533
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: of what they hit? Always amazed how long it takes them,

534
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: because I generally am on the course and know pretty

535
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: well where I hit the ball and the club to

536
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: get there. Well, imagine if you did this for a

537
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: living and you're not allowed to a range finder. So

538
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: when these guys go Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and their caddies

539
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: they're taking meticulous notes angles, flyers out of the rough

540
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: on given pin placements where you want to hit it

541
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: on the green. What they did early in the week

542
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: that didn't work what they've done previously. I mean, if

543
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: you've played a course several times, you will have a

544
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: long running, you know book. It's really no different. Like

545
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: Belichick on the Jets, he's been playing the Jets and

546
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins for you know, twenty years, twice a year.

547
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: Imagine the length of notes he has on the individual players.

548
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: It's no different on the individual golf holes. I think

549
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: we don't give enough credit to the professional game. How

550
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: when you and me play and we pull out the

551
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: range finder, it's pretty easy just to sit there, shoot

552
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: the pin or shoot wherever we want to go, and

553
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: then do whatever we need to do. They are stepping

554
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: off everything, stepping off everything, and let's face it, every shot,

555
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: especially in bigger tournaments, is a pretty big deal. So

556
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: I think it's just notes on from practice rounds. Some

557
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: of these guys that talk about, you know, the leaders

558
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: on Saturday and Sunday will watch in the morning, especially

559
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: in the front nine, Like if they're at home and

560
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: you know it's on the Golf Channel or on ESPN Plus,

561
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: they'll be watching taking notes. So I think it's just

562
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: notes on every situation, every area. Because if you're doing

563
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: a practice round on a Tuesday, let's say at Quail

564
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: Hollow or Valhalla. You don't know you're gonna hit it

565
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: over there, so it's like, well, we should try this

566
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: from the general area of the fairway where I hit

567
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: my drive, But we might as well want to throw

568
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: one over there in the rough, or throw one over

569
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: there in the bunker, and know how you know what's

570
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: safe to do if are we going to try to

571
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: fly if the pin is behind a bunker or if

572
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: the pin is on a water side, like should we

573
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: just I think it's a lot of just basic notes. Obviously,

574
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: some guys probably take more in depth writing that way

575
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: than others. Some just leave it to their caddy. I

576
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: would say everyone's I mean, Matt Fitzpatrick, the guy that

577
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: won the US Open two years ago, has taken notes

578
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: on every shot he's ever hit, every he's ever hit.

579
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: Think about that. Okay, I threw a little thing on

580
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: my story and a lot of you guys hit me up.

581
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: So let's bang out some of these questions. Do you

582
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: know any good golf websites to learn online? I think

583
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: the easiest thing, by far is whatever you want to do.

584
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: So you got a slice, Let's say you're chunking the ball.

585
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: Let's say you can't chip. It's type in what you're

586
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: doing to YouTube. Every single golf forever from Tiger Woods

587
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: to Phil Mickelson to me to you, has done that,

588
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: so type it into YouTube. That's where I would recommend.

589
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: How old were you when you first begin golfing and

590
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: how did it catch your attention. I started playing when

591
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: I was young, did some junior golf stuff, played a

592
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: lot with my dad, so I you know, early, I

593
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: don't know, six seven eight, probably in that range, So

594
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: I've been playing for a long time. But then I

595
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: took a lot of time. I didn't really play in college,

596
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,239
Speaker 1: even throughout my twenties. I played a lot when I

597
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: was young and in high school, and then a lot

598
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: in my thirties, but I would say in my twenties

599
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: when I worked in football, I definitely did not play

600
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: as much. We had a membership when I worked for

601
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles in Jersey, so a couple of the guys

602
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: on the staff we go over definitely in the springtime,

603
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: like right around now in the summer, but you know,

604
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: during the falls. I never played when I worked in football.

605
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: Realistic future of the PGA, Your guess is as good

606
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: as mine. I mean, I think we have a basic

607
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: understanding that there is no there is no future for

608
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: the professional game on television. If they don't get back together,

609
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: it cannot exist. It is not a it's not possible

610
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: to function as is right now. It will continue to fail,

611
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: ratings down. But if they can get back together, they

612
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: have a chance of some sustainability at a much higher

613
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: level than they're currently going. So I would say they

614
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: just got to merge. And how that looks, who knows?

615
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: Who knows? Clearly not going that smoothly. A lot of

616
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: egos involved the PGA. Let's face it, they kind of lost.

617
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: They kind of lost. And I think anytime you lose

618
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: in a negotiation, in a position where you're in a

619
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: good position and you tell someone to kick rocks or

620
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: fuck you or we're not doing business with you. And

621
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: then even if they're not quote unquote successful because no

622
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: one was watching, they did put a huge, huge dent

623
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: in the PGA tour, stole a bunch of major champions,

624
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: stole some of the most famous guys, and directly hurt

625
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: their product. No way around, it directly hurt in business.

626
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: It wouldn't have been that big a deal. It'd be like, well,

627
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: you got a competing product, do that in golf. It

628
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: cannot work that way. It's just not big enough. No

629
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: sport is You couldn't take Giannis Luca instead and put

630
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: them in some other league in America and have it

631
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: not hurt the NBA. I couldn't take ten of the

632
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: starting thirty two quarterbacks and put them in another football

633
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: league and have it not hurt the NFL. I took

634
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: some of the most famous guys on the PGA Tour,

635
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: champion players, polarizing players. It was a devastating miscalculation by

636
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: Jay Monahan, It really was, Which is crazy because you go, wait,

637
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: we're dealing with someone who has an unlimited amount of money,

638
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 1: who clearly loves addicted to golf, and is just coming

639
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: for this sport. It's like, well, have they ever done

640
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: that before with other sports? Yeah, a lot of them, soccer, racing,

641
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: They're all over it, so we probably should take them. Seriously.

642
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: This isn't just some pipe dream. This is a real dream,

643
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: backed by billions, and they don't give a crap if

644
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 1: people watch or not. It's not the point. You say

645
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: sports washing. Maybe that's a part of it. To me,

646
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: it impacts it less. But I understand that argument. It's

647
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: more like we want to run a golf league. I

648
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: think the soccer I really think this guy. We all

649
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: met golf guys once in on golf. How's live sportswatching?

650
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: Like no one even watches it. He utilized live to

651
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: get in on the PGA Tour and play a role

652
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: whatever that may be. Is Rory ever gonna win Augusta?

653
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: Sure doesn't look like it. Sure doesn't look like it.

654
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: I would say right down now, as someone that put

655
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: out a thousand dollars ticket on him, I would say, now,

656
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: why are Asian women women able to dominate the LPGA

657
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: but there are very few top Asian men. It's a

658
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: pretty good question that I don't have the answer to.

659
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: I don't know why that's the case, because clearly, look

660
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: at baseball they're dominating a baseball they dominated the LPGA.

661
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: There are I mean, Hideki Matsiyama was consistent top ten

662
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: player over the years, guy won the Masters. It doesn't

663
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: feel like they are that many. I don't have an

664
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: answer to that. Clearly they love golf over there. Give

665
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: me one good reason not to liquidate my four oh

666
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: one k and put it on Brooksy. It's a good question.

667
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: I don't have a great answer to that. I just

668
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: he kind of let me down at the Masters. But

669
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: I would imagine he's coming. Dream golf vacation. Maybe two

670
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: or three trips you want to take. I've played band

671
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: In Dunes before, in Bandon Trails and Old McDonald, but

672
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: I want to go back. And it was an incredible experience.

673
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: We went for my little brother's bachelor party. Actually we

674
00:37:55,520 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: drove from Davis. It was it was remarkable. But I

675
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: play so much more golf now. I just I have

676
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: to go back. So that would be one place that

677
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: I've already been that I gotta go back. I would

678
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: say the new one would be Pinehurst, which clearly looks

679
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: like a special, special destination place to just a lot

680
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: like Bandon. It's different. I mean, Bandon is so windy.

681
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: We played thirty six holes in a day. We played

682
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: Bandon Trails and then Bandon Dunes and the wind was

683
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: so outrageous. But you're there and you're like, it doesn't

684
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: It's like whatever. And obviously any sort of trip across

685
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: the pond to play the old course, and you know,

686
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: some of the great courses over there would be a

687
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: no brainer. But I would say Bandon and Pinehurst is

688
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: just an easier destination, so that those would be three

689
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 1: that I definitely want to check. I mean, Bandon's already

690
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: been checked off the list, but I want to do

691
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: it again. How often should I play in practice if

692
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: I want to shoot consistently in the eighties, I think

693
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: it depends how long you've been playing, you have a

694
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: good base, do you know what you're doing? Like if

695
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: you're shooting one hundred right now, if you just practice

696
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: on your own, you might not know what you're doing

697
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: and you might just be up and down, So you

698
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: probably should take some lessons. If you're shooting like in

699
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: the low nineties, I would say, do a couple things.

700
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: Practice your chipping, practice shots fifty yards and end, and

701
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: practice your driver. The more fairways you hit and the

702
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: better chipper you are, you're gonna make a lot more pars.

703
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: You know, Forever the entire time golf has been around,

704
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: everyone's always hammered on putting, putting, putting, putting. One thing

705
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 1: the analytic community has proven, and this has definitely always

706
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: been true for amateurs. When you're in the shit constantly,

707
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: it's hard to score. Even if you're an average golfer,

708
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: if I put you in the middle of the fairway,

709
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: however far you hit it to forty, three hundred to

710
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: sixty whatever, it's a lot easier to play golf. Think

711
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: about most of your good scoring holes come off good drives.

712
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: Because if I put you on a four hundred yard hole,

713
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: let's say you hit it two hundred and sixty yards.

714
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: We got one hundred and forty yards in. So even

715
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: if you don't hit a great pitching wedge or nine

716
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: iron or whatever, you're still gonna be relatively close to

717
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: around the green. It's why hit fairways and learn how

718
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: to chip. Putting sucks. You just try to just figure

719
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: that out. You know, for most of us, if you

720
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: can just be a decent putter in lag putts like,

721
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 1: you're never gonna be brad faction fairways chipping. Uh, what

722
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: is in your bag currently? I think I've had the

723
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: same bag for basically six seven years. You know how

724
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 1: a lot of pro golfers say, I will not go

725
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: to Augusta until I play at Augusta. I will not

726
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: get new clubs until we get a sponsor here on

727
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: the show. So probably like five six years ago. Dude

728
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: that followed me on Instagram is a big sales rep

729
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: for Tailor Made. I think he's like their number one

730
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: sales rep in the Sacramento area, big Raider fan. He

731
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: gave me a discount for like fifty percent off, so

732
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: I ordered the seven nineties. I've had those for I

733
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: don't know, five plus years pitching wedge through four iron.

734
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 1: I have titless wedges that I've had ten years. I've

735
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: got the same wedges forever, which is probably not great.

736
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: I probably need to get new wedges. I have two

737
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: Tailor Made, a hybrid and a three wood that I

738
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: bought at the PGA Superstore a couple of years ago.

739
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: Like US clubs that I hit it pretty well, and

740
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: then I have a Maverick Callaway driver. So it's a

741
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: little bit of a mishmash. But I'm not getting new clubs.

742
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 1: I still play well enough with them until we get

743
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: them through this show. So that's someone I'm going to

744
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: stay very very close with. Most embarrassing moment on the course,

745
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: We've all had one. It's a good question. I mean

746
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of them, most of us do.

747
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 1: It has to evolve around gambling and fucking up. I

748
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: was playing my brother. Me and my brother play sometimes

749
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: we'll do one hundred hundred hundred, like one hundred a

750
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: side and then one hundred overall. Probably one of the

751
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: bigger gambling per I mean, he's the guy that I

752
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: gambled with the most when I play. Most other people

753
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: if I'm betting, were betting, you know, a buck a

754
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: hole or nothing great at five bucks. But I remember

755
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: we were on a vacation for Thanksgiving in Hawaii. This

756
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 1: is probably twenty nineteen. We never really do family trips

757
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: like that, but we did it forever. I never went

758
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: because I was always working, and I went and it

759
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: was cool. And we were playing golf every day and

760
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: we were playing for a lot of money. And I

761
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: think I had double or he double or nothing. Me

762
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: on eighteen and I striped the drive. I had like

763
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 1: one hundred yards in and I shanked it into the pool.

764
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: I think it was like the Wili pool or you know,

765
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: there was a hotel pool, and it was pretty devastating

766
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: moment only him and me saw. But sucks. What do

767
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: you see as the realistic timeline for the tours coming together?

768
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: I would say it's got to happen in the next

769
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: six months. I mean, there is tangible pressure on the

770
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: PGA Tour to figure this out. They're just not with

771
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: the Saudi's. They just don't care, clearly, and they will

772
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: just sign more people to just keep bleeding them dry.

773
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: To me, I think it's fair to say, in the

774
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: next three months, before the end of the PGA Tour season,

775
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: before football starts, if you don't have a deal, I

776
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: don't know what we're doing. I really don't, and that'd

777
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: be pretty embarrassing. Okay, a couple more. Do you think

778
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: Tiger can ever compete in another major going in the

779
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: final round? This pains me to say, but I don't.

780
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: I just I think he's proven to not have seventy

781
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: two holes in him, and I don't think that's gonna change.

782
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: It was clear before he got this fusion he could

783
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: barely walk. I would say he walks better now, but

784
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: he clearly leaks oil Saturday Sunday. It's a lot on

785
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: his body. When he said that he was gonna play

786
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: once a month, I think he was being ambitious because

787
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: he likes playing, he likes competing. But I think he's

788
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: much close closer to being like Charlie's dad coach getting

789
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: him ready for like college golf than he is competing,

790
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: and I don't think we ever see him. I don't

791
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: think he ever finished his top ten in a major ever. Again,

792
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: I think just making the cut for him is a

793
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: pretty pretty awesome accomplishment at this point in time. Okay,

794
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: one done this. Strengths and weaknesses of your game. I

795
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: don't really have that many strengths. I would say I

796
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: hit it relatively far, you know, compared to golfers. But

797
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: when I'm on I just I hit a nice little

798
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 1: baby cut, even though it's kind of been drawn lately.

799
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 1: But not a great chipper, bad putter, bad in the sand,

800
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 1: not that accurate off the tea unless I've been drinking

801
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: pretty good Like hybrid three wood player, I'd say one

802
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: thing is like I can pound a three wood off

803
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: the tee if shit's hitting the fan. I hit my

804
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: three with two hundred sixty two and seventy yards, But

805
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: not a great long iron player. Short irons very hit

806
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: or miss. A sand game is horrendous, no clue you

807
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: get in the sand like, I don't even know what

808
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: am I doing. So a lot of weaknesses strengths would

809
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: probably be good vibes too. Always down any moment, especially

810
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: on a weekend. We're playing early. You want to get

811
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,240
Speaker 1: a cocktail, you want to rip a shot after nine,

812
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: want to get some post clubhouse beers. That's probably my

813
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: number one strength. Good hang, easy to play golf with, fun,

814
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: drinking buddy, got some good stories. Talk football in the

815
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 1: golf course. You know, probably average birdy or two around,

816
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: but several doubles and lost balls. So I'm probably the

817
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: worst four or five handicap you'll ever meet because I

818
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: can seventy five, but I can also shoot ninety two

819
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: at any moment, at any moment, any course, any course.

820
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: It can be what is going on, mental midget can

821
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: implode like most of you. I mean, golfs are and

822
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: I think I was playing with a couple guys on

823
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: Saturday and they were pretty bad, and I was I

824
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: was actually playing pretty well. But it's funny. I've tried

825
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: to have the attitude of just like just enjoy it.

826
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: You know, this isn't competition in the sense I'm not

827
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: playing in a tournament. If you're gambling, you take a

828
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: little more seriously. But if you're just out playing with somebodies,

829
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: I usually play a different teas than they played. But

830
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, you guys are playing

831
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: the white teas, I'll play the white teas with you.

832
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: I just had a good time. I heard im woman

833
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: say that to rigs and guys on four Play. He's like,

834
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: sometimes I'll play with friends. It's like, just because I'm

835
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: a pro golfer, I'm not going to play the tips

836
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 1: and you guys are playing the men's teas Like it's

837
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: kind of just being out there having a good time,

838
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: having a little social element to your life. So just

839
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: play the same tease the people you're playing with. I'm

840
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: gonna try to do that more often. And it was

841
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: a really, really fun experience. And I'm just trying to

842
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: enjoy golf instead of getting some In twenty twenty three,

843
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: I didn't really enjoy it wasn't playing well. You just

844
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: you don't have fun. My whole poindous thing is to

845
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: have fun. So I would say weaknesses basically everything strengths

846
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: having a good time. The volume
