1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: I thought today we do a little go lo podcast.

3
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: We got the Masters right around the corner. It'll be

4
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: here next week, very very fired up. So I want

5
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: to do a little look back at the beginning of

6
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: the season as we transition. If you're listening to this,

7
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: the Valero is probably already off and running not I

8
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: didn't really have any thoughts on that. Hard to gauge,

9
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, the week before with not that many big names,

10
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: kind of a weird field. Obviously. I think I saw

11
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: stat twelve of the last fourteen guys to win this

12
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: tournament had not been in the Masters. So obviously if

13
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: you win this weekend and you get an auto invite

14
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: next week, which is I don't know, kind of a

15
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: big deal. Akshay Batilla did it last year. Has to

16
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: be pretty cool to get the to win, make a

17
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: bunch of money and then be like, hey, you're going

18
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: to Augusta. So we're gonna do a little look back

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: kind of big picture on the season as we I mean,

20
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: once the Masters start, we are in the major season.

21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: The PGA is right around the corner. Basically every month

22
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: we get the PGA, The US Open and the British

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: and then football is back, so obviously also a Ryder

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: Cup season, a big year for a lot of guys,

25
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: not just on our squad, but some of these Euros,

26
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: some of the dudes on LIV. You know, this is

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: when Keepka kind of makes us hey in major season.

28
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: You know, Bryson is gonna be on the Ryder Cup.

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: I think, no matter what, I guess he could just

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: miss every cut in the Majors, which I doubt's gonna happen.

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: But I think we're gonna start seeing a mixture of

32
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: those guys, which also factors into next week because Patrick Reid,

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Sergio Phil actually is playing really well and as a

34
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: guy that's won the Masters, I don't know multiple times.

35
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: So we will dive into that live basically copy the PGA,

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: which I do not blame them, and are doing a

37
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: Creator classic. They're calling it the Duels, though I think

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: their version is might be better, and I give them

39
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: credit for doing a couple things. So I want to

40
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: dive into that, and then like we do every week,

41
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: I will take some of your questions. The easiest way

42
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: to get in on the show is at golopod at

43
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: golopod is the Instagram for the golf podcast, So just

44
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: fire in those dms at golopod and get your question

45
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: answered on the show. But before we dive into some golf,

46
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, I got to tell you about my friends,

47
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: my partners, and the official ticketing app of this podcast.

48
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: You know, Actually a golf tournament, if one is coming

49
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: near you, that could be the PGA Tour or Live

50
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: is a sneaky underrated event, just to kind of get outside,

51
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: get some sun, have a couple of cocktails. You don't

52
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: even end up watching that much golf, but it gets

53
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: you moving around. Maybe Friday, take a half day at work,

54
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: get out of the office, go hang out, have some

55
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: pops with a buddy. Cannot recommend it enough. So if

56
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: you have a golf tournament coming near you at I

57
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: would highly recommend going just to hang out. Obviously, Baseball, basketball, hockey,

58
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: we got playoffs starting, you have concerts, you got comedy shows.

59
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: Easiest ticketing app I've ever used by a country mile.

60
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: Cannot recommend it enough. Take the guests. We're out of

00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: ticket's lowest price is guaranteed. Well. I think a couple

67
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, when it was announced that Tiger had

68
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: torn his achilles Phil is fifty five years old. The

69
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: crew of those two guys, specifically Tiger and Phil, drafted

70
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: off him carrying the sport for most of you know,

71
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: my late youth in high school and college is over

72
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: and now it's in other people's hands. It's very, very

73
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: important that the best players play well in the biggest

74
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: tournaments and specifically the Majors. But part of golf it's

75
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: a little like baseball. It's every weekend, and guys like

76
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: Rory and Scotty are going to end up probably playing

77
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: twenty plus times a year, so it really matters that

78
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: they're in the mix when they play. And we've been

79
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: very lucky over the last couple of years. Rory has

80
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: had a chance to win I think three of the

81
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: last eight majors. Think about last year Xander won two,

82
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: Scotty won another, and Bryson and Rory dueled it out

83
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: at the US Open. You can't ask for much more.

84
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: Golf is better when there is not parody, no different

85
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: than tim an individual sport, and you could argue team

86
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: sports as well. It's better when everyone is chasing the

87
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Yankees and the Dodgers, or the Patriots have a dynasty,

88
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: or you know, in basketball, when Kevin Durant went to

89
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: the Warriors, everyone wants to see if you can beat him.

90
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, like, I don't just believe that. I think

91
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: the numbers show it's definitely with individual sports. When Federer,

92
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: when Pete Sampras, when the joker, when one of those

93
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: guys is on top, I almost called him Djokovic. That

94
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: is his name, Djokovic. I was going to get Nicole Jokich,

95
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: who had a sixty point triple double last night in

96
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: a loss, which I have to imagine is the first

97
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: time in NBA history that's ever happened. But we need

98
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: Rory and we need Scotty to play well. And I

99
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: think when you look back over the beginning of the year,

100
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: this is why I think it's crazy when I hear

101
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: people saying that Rory's like he just can't get it done.

102
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: In the biggest tournaments. Well he has it lately, and

103
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't understand he hasn't won a major in ten years.

104
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: But if you've watched the sport, you know, for a

105
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: longer period of time, multiple years, you would be insane

106
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: to think this guy's never gonna win a big tournament

107
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: aka one of the majors. Honestly, I think it's way

108
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: more likely that he wins multiple majors winning moving forward,

109
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: then he never wins another one. Now does that mean

110
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna win the Masters in a week? I don't know.

111
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: We have had a lot of hype on him coming

112
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: into this tournament and he's underwhelmed, and it's happened to

113
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: him in other majors as well. But I would say

114
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: over the course of the last couple of years, he

115
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: couldn't have been much closer. I mean, he should have

116
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: won the Open the year camp Smith won it. Obviously

117
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: last year he blew it down the stretch, missing two

118
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: putts in the last three holes, and he easily could

119
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: have won at LACC the US Open what was that

120
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: two years ago? And he couldn't make a putt to

121
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: save his life. But I don't know if he's ever

122
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna win the Masters. If I was a betting man,

123
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: which I am, I would say, yes, Do I plan

124
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: on putting money on him next week? I do? I

125
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: think when you watch him play this year, it'd be

126
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: one thing. It's like, Rory has two wins this year.

127
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: It's like, what tournaments did he win? It's like the Century. Now.

128
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: I understand he never goes to Hawaii and the AMX

129
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: and he ain't playing that either, but I'm just for

130
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: a hypothetical sake, let's just say those were his two

131
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: tournament wins. I would not feel the same as winning

132
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: at Pebble Beach in inclement weather and winning at the

133
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: Players when half the field had no shot and looked terrible.

134
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: So like, I think his form and then you watch

135
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: him last week, it's like first rounds, like does he

136
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: even want to be here? Was he just did? He

137
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: just go to get a couple reps and he's gonna

138
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: kind of like do a sneaky miss the cut and

139
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: then just fly home. It's like no, he then shot

140
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: four under five hundred six under the last three days. Now,

141
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: the one thing that scares you a little bit, and

142
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: this is what golf has battled for a long time,

143
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 1: is we're balls deep now in gambling, so I would

144
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: like some sort of universal injury report. But that does happened.

145
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: So you're like, yeah, there's word out on the street

146
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: that something's up with this guy's knee. You're like, well,

147
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: then I probably wouldn't have bet money on him over

148
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: the last month. But you don't know until it's too late.

149
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: Ry just told us He's like, yeah, something's up with

150
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: my elbow. Now. The way he said it is almost

151
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: like he had a little smile, So like, is he

152
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: just mess with everybody? Is he actually good? Is he

153
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: trying to throw people off the scent? Is he trying

154
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: to lower the hype going into Augusta? Because for a

155
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: split second on Sunday, you're like, could Rory win this tournament? Now?

156
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: He was too far back and he ended up Honestly,

157
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: wasn't turned out, wasn't even that close. But he did mention, yeah,

158
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: somethings a little up with my elbow. But then he

159
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: said his coach was flying out and they were gonna

160
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: dial in the previous week. He'd already been to Augusta.

161
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: I'd be stunned. If he's not a major factor now,

162
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: is he gonna win? We talked about this over the

163
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. If you bet money on him

164
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: last year and you were watching that group when he

165
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: was playing with Scottie Scheffler and the wind started to

166
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: pick up and he had no shot, You're like, Scotty

167
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: Scheffler is in a different world. I think as we

168
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: sit here today, they are. I mean, Rory's obviously been

169
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: better this year, benefited from not having raviolis and shards

170
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: of glass in his hands. But I just have a

171
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: hard time thinking Rory has ever been better at golf

172
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: than he is right now, and the positive momentum he

173
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: has obviously going into the Masters and just the major

174
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: season in general. Now for the first time, and we

175
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: talked about this last week, was you know, listen, you

176
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: have an injury, it throws you off. Like it's golf,

177
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of like it's baseball. It's a thinking man sport,

178
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: and if you get too far away from it, it's

179
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: a specific skill. If you go two months without hitting

180
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: a baseball, you don't just hop right back in the

181
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: batter's box and handle, you know, one hundred miles an

182
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: hour and a big league curve. It takes you some

183
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: time to get your timing back golf is no different.

184
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: So when you look at Scotty, and I would throw

185
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Xander in this as well. When they have injury and

186
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: they are not able to play golf, it is a problem.

187
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: And Xander that's why he's in this weird category, has

188
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: a careerly year last year, wins multiple majors. Then he

189
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: gets his rib injury and it's like, I don't know,

190
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna take him some time. Wouldn't shock me if

191
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: he's fully healthy that he he gets back to form

192
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: here in a couple tournaments and by like the US

193
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: Open and the British he's a major factor. But Scotty

194
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know, man, he's not playing terribly,

195
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: but he doesn't look quite as dominant as he was

196
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: last year, but kind of understandable. Still a shards of

197
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: glass in his hand that they were like gonna slowly

198
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: take out. And then Sunday happened and you're like, that's

199
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: the Scotty Scheffler that I know. That's the guy that

200
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: beat the shit out of everyone last year and won

201
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: sixty five million dollars playing golf. That's the guy. Now.

202
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: He ultimately didn't win the tournament because min wou League

203
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: got up and down on eighteen from the back of

204
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: the green. But like that version of that player can

205
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: beat anyone in the world any given week, and probably

206
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: will if he's gonna play like that. And that was

207
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: like I was off the Scottie Scheffler scent. I'm like

208
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: three and a half to one. I understand he dominates

209
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: at Augusta, but he's not playing that well. And then

210
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: that happens, and especially on the back nine, he's just Bertie, Bertie, Bertie,

211
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: and he's just peppering flags like, holy shit, Scottie is coming,

212
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: you know. It's like that. It's like that Jeff win

213
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: Omar and the wire turns the corner. And I think,

214
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: if you are someone like who's gonna gamble on this tournament,

215
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's crazy to have a little Scotty

216
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: Scheffler exposure. Now he's got had a unique career, right,

217
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: he feels like a guy that's won multiple majors when

218
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: he just won. He has won multiple majors, but like

219
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: at a bunch of different venues, like this is the

220
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: only course in which he's won. He has not won

221
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: the US Open, he has not won the British Open,

222
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: and he obviously has not won the PGA Championship. Now, granted,

223
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: last year he was the favorite going in. He got

224
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: arrested kind of threw him off. But certain people have

225
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: are very comfortable certain places, and this is the only

226
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: major of the year where the course never changes. It's

227
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: why Phil has been a factor there for a long time.

228
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: It's why everyone gets bullish. You know when Tiger is

229
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: semi healthy that he can win there. You know, Bubba Watson,

230
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: these guys can go back. Patrick Reid plays well there

231
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: every single year. Go to his wiki right now, see

232
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: the last like five years. How well Patrick Reid, who

233
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: has not been that good at golf over the last

234
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: couple of years, plays at Augusta. It's no different than

235
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: some of us. Right, You'll meet a guy I'm one

236
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: that when I'm playing well, it's like, oh, this is

237
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: meet my buddy, John Middlecoff. He's a three handicap. Well, yeah,

238
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: at my home course, when I'm playing a lot and

239
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm playing well, it's like, yeah, i can shoot, you know,

240
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: high seventies every round when I'm playing well. Not right now,

241
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: struggling to break eighty five. But you take me somewhere else.

242
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, it's like, well, how this guy

243
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: just shoot eighty six, Cause that's most you know, I

244
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: would say country club golfers. I'm not technically a country

245
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: club guy, but the point remains. And when you take

246
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: them away from their home base anything as possible, that's

247
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: what separates really good golfers. I have countless friends, especially

248
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: college guys that played in college. They're handicap. It's like,

249
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: they can shoot par anywhere. You can take them to Oakmont,

250
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: you can take them to Pebble Beach, you can take

251
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: them to the local muni. Their games translate. Most of

252
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: ours do not. It's no different with some of the

253
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: guys like from fifty to one fifty on the PGA Tour.

254
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: You get them at tournaments like the one they just

255
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: played in Houston, or some of these tournaments like in

256
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: Mexico or you know, I'm trying to think early on

257
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: in the season, certain guys are just comfortable certain places

258
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: Toasty's really comfortable last week, and they feel, you know,

259
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: just it just works for their game, especially guys that

260
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: aren't that accurate off the tea. Some of these courses

261
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: like have big ass fairways, and then you get to

262
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: the majors, it's like, holy shit, this is a different ballgame.

263
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: And when you don't, when you miss the fairway and

264
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: you're in rough or your irons a little off and

265
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: you're missing greens, all of a sudden, golf becomes really

266
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: complicated and very very difficult at the highest level. And

267
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: Scotty is a guy when he's on, he's I mean again,

268
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: having Tiger. Having a Tiger season is a lot different

269
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: than having a Tiger career. Has a long way to go,

270
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: but there is no arguing that's one of the great

271
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: seasons we've ever seen. And the crazy part is is

272
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: it's like it almost felt underwhelming because how did he

273
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: not win more majors? But this is a big year,

274
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: and you know, in a big picture thing, like the

275
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: one thing now is Scotty. It's like, we know we

276
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: can win the Masters, and more than likely, if he

277
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: stays healthy over the next four or five years, he's

278
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: gonna win it again. But like, I think it's pretty

279
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: important to rattle off one of the other majors, But

280
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: after you watch him on Sunday, you're like, this guy's

281
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: going to be a factor. The finals from Marchbania are

Speaker 1: Hoveland has been in the wilderness for like a year,

307
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: you win a tournament, like like it's still there, and

308
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: at any moment, if this guy figures it out, watch

309
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: the you know what out. So to me, Victor Hovelin

310
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: is a guy who has had a lot of success

311
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: in majors, who just won a tournament, who's just trying

312
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: to still figure things out, like he's got it in them,

313
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's gonna come this year

314
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: in the majors. Maybe it doesn't. It would it shock

315
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: me if he shoots eighty at the Masters, it would not.

316
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: Would it also shock me if you look up round one,

317
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: it's like Victor Hovelin just shot five under. It would

318
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: not either if he is close, which is hard to

319
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: think that he's not because of the way that he

320
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: just won, despite what he's saying, like he just beat

321
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas, you know who was having a fantastic year.

322
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to be the Masters,

323
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: but I would keep a close eye on him especially.

324
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this was a guy two years ago whose

325
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: odds going into big tournaments would hover from like seventeen, eighteen,

326
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: nineteen to one. And if you start seeing a guy

327
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: like him at thirty forty fifty to one, especially if

328
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: he has a couple bad tournaments, I would just not

329
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: be afraid to sprinkle. You know, Max Homa is a

330
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: guy who last year was leading the Masters, was leading

331
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: the Masters, who has never played well in majors, and

332
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: your boy might alive. Bet him, And then the moment

333
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: that shot on twelve went into the bush, I looked

334
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: and I had put a decent amount of money on him.

335
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: The cash out was basically for like ninety five percent

336
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: of my bet, and I hit it immediately, almost like

337
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: I beat DraftKings to the punch and I got my

338
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: money back and then he double boggie that hole and

339
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: it was over. But you know, you look at Max

340
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: this year, he's kind of in shambles. I didn't realize

341
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: how bad it was going. He's played in seven events,

342
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: he's missed four of those cuts, and he has zero,

343
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: top twenty fives. I mean, this was a guy, I

344
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: would say, twelve months ago who was viewed as one

345
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: of the better Americans Locke Ryder Cup. It felt like

346
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 1: type guy for several years moving forward, and someone who

347
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: had kind of figured it out and it was just

348
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a major problem in the majors after the Masters,

349
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: And not only did that not happen, he's kind of

350
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: falling apart, and he's got new clubs, he's gotten new apparel.

351
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of his game, but I don't know.

352
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: I might have just because I'm a sucker for value.

353
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: He was one hundred and twenty to one this week

354
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: at the Valero one hundred and twenty to one. I

355
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: might have thrown twenty five dollars to pay like thirty

356
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars. I'm like, you know, maybe this finished

357
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: his DFL. Maybe Max shoots seventy eight seventy five and

358
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: doesn't sniff the cut, or maybe like he just I

359
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: don't know, is a guy that's won several times on

360
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour just like figures it out once you

361
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: get to a certain odds and you're a player like

362
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: that has shown his caliber. It's hard not to just

363
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: throw like twenty bucks on a guy. It's like, wait,

364
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: I can just throw twenty bucks on a guy who

365
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: has won countless times. Again, maybe he sucks. We just

366
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: sawed a couple of weeks ago with Hovland. Hoveland was

367
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: proclaiming to everybody, like, I am terrible at golf. Right now,

368
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: he was shooting eighty, shooting eighty, and then all of

369
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like he wins now Victor Hoveland when

370
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: they're both going right. Victor Hoblin's a better player than

371
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: Max Homa. But still, like you look at this field,

372
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: it's not great. I would say one big picture thing

373
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: for the Ryder Cup and just for the majors in general,

374
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: is justin Thomas's kind of back. He's not all the

375
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: way back because he just didn't win a couple of

376
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago. And this is a guy that, you know,

377
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: I think when his career's over, he'll easily have more

378
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: than twenty plus wins on the PGA Tour, And it

379
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me if he finishes with like three or

380
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: four majors. He's got two right now, two PG championships.

381
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: But he's a guy that for some reason, you know,

382
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: I used to bet on him and the Masters and

383
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: he would never play well there. In theory, it should

384
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: be a good spot for him, you know, a guy

385
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: that can work the ball both ways, fantastic short game

386
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: putting has kind of been his downfall. It's clearly not

387
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: an easy place to put And then when Bones went

388
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: to his bag, you're like, well, Bones has been there

389
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: for Phil Countless wins. This guy's gonna know and it

390
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: just didn't really go well. But I do think JT,

391
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: if not the Masters, is just guy, a guy to

392
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: watch and check the odds out for the majors. Cause

393
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: if you can get JT at like a US Open,

394
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: at a PGA Championship, even a British Open, if his

395
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: odds are closer to like thirty five forty to one

396
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: than they were when he was playing at an elite

397
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: level like sixteen to one, there's just value there, especially

398
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: with top tens and top twenty. If you can get

399
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: plus odds on JT ever to top twenty in big tournaments,

400
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: that that to me is an auto hammer anything else.

401
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: I do think the hard part about this, and we'll

402
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: dive into live here in a second, is knowing where

403
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: these live guys stand right. I mean I was listening

404
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: to a podcast today. Phil's been playing really well and

405
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: he's fifty five years old coming into the Masters. We'll

406
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: see how he does this week down in Florida at

407
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: Trump they're playing Durral. But like, I don't think it's

408
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: crazy to sprinkle a little money on Phil. But the

409
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: big guys like John Rahm is a guy that feels

410
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: completely out of side, out of mind, like the difference

411
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: of John Ram and Bryson feels feels dramatic, like Bryson

412
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: feels very much in my life now. Obviously part of

413
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: that's YouTube, and as someone that watches a lot, if

414
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: not all, of Bryson's YouTube videos, I'll say this, you

415
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: can't take much away when Bryson's doing the break fifty

416
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: and they're playing the Reds, Like I don't I don't

417
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: really judge his game in that moment though it usually

418
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: looks pretty cool because he's hitting like, you know, two

419
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: five irons from two hundred and fifty par fours. When

420
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: you just watch Bryson go to a random course and

421
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: try to break the course record, you go, holy shit,

422
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: this guy's good. And the one thing they say about

423
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: the Masters is like it benefits left handed players or

424
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: right handed guys with draws. And when you watch Bryson now,

425
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: if you just obviously the last couple of years, he's

426
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: played a pretty distinct draw, not just off the tee

427
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: but with his irons. When you watch him on these

428
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: YouTube videos when he's just playing a random course in

429
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: like Texas trying to break the course record, you're like,

430
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: every ball he hits is a draw. And you know,

431
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: I know a couple of years he took a lot

432
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: of shit because he had said that it was a

433
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: par sixty seven, and I think he went out and

434
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: shot like seventy four or seventy five. But and listen,

435
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: I didn't blame anyone like Bryce in the Master is

436
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: going to be a weird spot for him. Last year

437
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: was not, and he finished tied for sixth, and he

438
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: was right in the mix over the weekend to win

439
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: it until he kind of melted down on whole thirteen

440
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: when he chunked that chip and it just kind of

441
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: fell apart. But I do think if you look back

442
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: at last year, you go, I don't want to say

443
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: he's figured it out, but he clearly is much more

444
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: comfortable there, and his shot shape really works. So I'm

445
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna win the Masters this year, but

446
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 1: I think you're a little crazy. He did not have

447
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: a little exposure, and to think that Bryson can't be

448
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: a serious I expect Bryson to be a serious factor

449
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: in all these tournaments. Now. The Master is less than

450
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: the other three, especially the PGA in the US Open,

451
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: he is going to be the guy people root for.

452
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: He's essentially like Bob does sports grant. If those guys

453
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: were good enough to play in majors, everyone would be

454
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: rooting for them. That is Bryson. He's like a content creator.

455
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: He has a lot of fans. People just like and

456
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: enjoy watching him play golf on YouTube. I'm telling you

457
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: he is going to have such a home field advantage

458
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: when he plays in these In these the PGA Championship,

459
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: in the US Open, the Masters is a little tempered

460
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: just because of the way the patrons and the fans

461
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: is just not as crazy of an environment. But I

462
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are behind him, and I

463
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: think that really matters for a guy like him, like Kopka.

464
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: You could be booing Keopka and it wouldn't face him

465
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: if he's playing well, is he playing well, I don't know,

466
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: but I'm excited to watch that, uh, you know live,

467
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: they copied. I watched a couple weeks ago went the

468
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: Players the Creator Classic that Horvat ended up winning and listen.

469
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: I thought, it is a good idea. Clearly were a

470
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: lot of people there. I think approaching it like a

471
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: normal golf tournament is pretty dumb. You should kind of

472
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: lean into the craziness. I thought, why didn't you have

473
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: like Bob does sports commentating, Like that's what I would

474
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: have said, Hey, Bob, you take the microphone here and

475
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: just be crazy. But the tour still a little stiff,

476
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: still a little conservative, is clearly uncomfortable doing that. You

477
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: know who is not uncomfortable doing that at all is Live.

478
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: And the difference of their Creator Classic and the PGA

479
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: Tours Creator Classic is the PGA Tourist Creator Classic was

480
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: just a bunch of dudes playing, which is not a

481
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: bad I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I was entertained,

482
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: but these like part of being at the Players or

483
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: being at Live is like you do have the best

484
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: players in the world right around there, and lives like hey,

485
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson, Cam Smith Phil Mickelson, all you got. You

486
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: guys are playing. It's a little weird that Bryson's not playing,

487
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: maybe because he would want it on his YouTube channel

488
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: and they're putting it. Here's the thing. The creator classic

489
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: was on golf channel. I just go fully on YouTube

490
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: where there aren't really any rules. You know, on golf channel,

491
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: you're still following some of the FCC rules. It's got

492
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: an old school feel to it, you know, with a broadcast,

493
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: you going on Grant Corvat's channel, which you know, listen,

494
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: Grant is a rock star right now in the YouTube space.

495
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: It's not he doesn't swear. It's not like, you know,

496
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: if Bob does sports is like the barstool of of

497
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: YouTube golf. I know four Play has a YouTube as well,

498
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: but you know, Bob. I would say, Bob, what I

499
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: think YouTube creators when it comes to golf. I would

500
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: say Bob and Joey and Faparez and Grant are the biggest.

501
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: Now you could argue Good Good is huge. You could argue,

502
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, the Brian bros. Are big. I watch them,

503
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: I watch Good, I watch it all. I enjoy YouTube golf.

504
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: But I think part of what makes it pretty special

505
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of raw, you know, and that's kind of

506
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: what the consumer likes. It's pretty authentic that there aren't

507
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: really rules behind it. Kind of do whatever you want, though,

508
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, Grant kind of hangs his

509
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: hat like he's not swearing, like it's it's I would say,

510
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: it's much more made for kids. And it's probably no

511
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: wonder why Grant has a lot of younger fans because

512
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: their parents feel very comfortable watching it. Like if I

513
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: had an eight year old, would I let him watch Bob?

514
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: I'd probably be hypocritical because I drop a lot of

515
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: F bombs as well, But you know, it's just kind

516
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: of a different vibe. But bringing Bob to commentate it,

517
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: with all the stars playing, it's gonna get some viral

518
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: moments and it's gonna be a really big deal on

519
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: Grant's channel. Now, there was a report that that the

520
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: PGA Tour was not happy with this and reached out

521
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: to you know, not just the creators, but like you know,

522
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: Wesley Bryant I think made like nine hundred K last

523
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: year on the PGA Tour and was not happy with

524
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: him playing in this event. Now, that report came from

525
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: like a live account essentially, so I don't know what

526
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: to believe or not to believe. I would say this

527
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: at this point in time, just you guys got to

528
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: figure it out like that. There's no more banning people,

529
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: there's no more getting mad at other people for doing

530
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: things like this is the wild wild West, and it's

531
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: on you to get everyone back on board and figure

532
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: it out. Like the days of a couple of years ago,

533
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: suspending people for life and kicking them off the tour,

534
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: that was proven to be an awful, awful misstep. And

535
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: if it is true that you are going after and pressuring,

536
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Brian Bros Or the Horvats or the

537
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: Bob does sports, like if you do this, you're gonna

538
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: be no longer allowed in any of our sanctioned events

539
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: in Creator Classics. That would be the dumbest thing I've

540
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: ever heard of. That would be what you would call

541
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: awful awful business. So I hope that they did not

542
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: do that because that would be beyond stupid. But overall,

543
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited to watch this live Creator Classic here

544
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: in a couple of days. I did want to do

545
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: this because I got some questions at John Middlecoff or

546
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: excuse me. That's my other Instagram handle that we do

547
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: for three and out fire any question you have in there.

548
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: This is just the easiest way to get the golf questions.

549
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes I see golf questions in my normal Instagram. That's

550
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: just going to get lost in the shuffle. So if

551
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: you want to get your questions answered on the go

552
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: Lo podcast, you have to insta or DM me on

553
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: at golopod. That's the instagram, So at golopod firing those dms.

554
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about some bets to make for the Masters.

555
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: Looking at Minwu Lee off his win, I'm looking to

556
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: go pretty extreme one way or the other. I think

557
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: the best bet is probably to take him to top twenty,

558
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: but I'm thinking about taking him to top ten or

559
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: taking him to miss the cut completely. Figured maybe he's

560
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: on a high horse and Augusta gets him, or with

561
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: him playing good and having good finishes at Augusta in

562
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: prior years, he can take the next step. Does either

563
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: side of that coin speak more than the other? You

564
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: know what's fascinating about that guy? He swings out of

565
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: his you know what off the tea like. I don't

566
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: think you can swing any harder there can't be many

567
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 1: humans that are playing pro golf, non long drive, people

568
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: that have a faster club head speed and faster ball

569
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: speed than men Luly. I mean, there were times where

570
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: it felt like he was fifteen twenty miles an hour

571
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: higher than Scottie Scheffler. Now the problem with that is

572
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: sometimes he hits it off the planet, as he did

573
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: I think what it was a hole sixteen last week,

574
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: and which made it a tournament because the moment he

575
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: pumps in the water Scotty's putting for eagle, You're like,

576
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: oh my god, is Scotty gonna win this? Or are

577
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: they gonna get to extra holes? Now here's what menu

578
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: wou Lee does well, and he's I find him pretty entertaining.

579
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: The moment at the end of the tournament when he

580
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: pretended to do aim point on like a six inch

581
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: putt was funny, like that was that was good. His

582
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: short game's pretty elite. So it's like if you look

583
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: at Sawgrass when he falls apart, it's because he gets

584
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: all over the place off the tee and he's in

585
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: other fairways. But in Sawgrass, like you can't just pump

586
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: it into another fairway. This is not some resort style course,

587
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: like you're in the trees and you're fucked, you're gonna

588
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: get bogies. I do think a gust is a little

589
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: like that, Like you can't just pump it all over

590
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,239
Speaker 1: the place. You do have to be accurate. Now, his

591
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: short game and his ability to putt, like that's gonna

592
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: translate at the Masters. But to me, he's better off.

593
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: If you tell me he's like leading after two rounds,

594
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: I'd be like, he could implode. But if he just

595
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: kind of flies under the radar and there's less pressure

596
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: on him, I would like him more.

597
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: So.

598
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't think a top twenty bet is crazy. To me,

599
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: top ten feels a little extreme. I would probably do both.

600
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: I would do a top twenty bet and I would

601
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 1: do a miss the cut bet. A mailbag question, if

602
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: you were to enter into a four man scramble and

603
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: could assemble the best possible team of current golfers, who

604
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: would your team be? You were on the team, so

605
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: essentially you only pick three other dudes. Mine would be Rory,

606
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: Scotty and JT. Rory for the driving, Scotty for the approaches,

607
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: and JT just a big shot maker. Yeah, I think

608
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: you could go if you just picked random PGA Tour guys, Like,

609
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: are there other PGA Tour guys playing in the scramble,

610
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: because if they're not, I could just take random dudes

611
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: that play in PJ Tour events and we would dominate. Now,

612
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: if this was for like a million dollars and you

613
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: were playing other elite players and you could have the

614
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: pick of the litter, then it would matter. I think

615
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: you would go with Rory or Bryson. Again, I watch

616
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: the YouTube golf Bryson in these environments. Him off the

617
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: tee is just like automatic draw. I don't think it

618
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: would be crazy to take Bryson. What if you just

619
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: went all live, you just went Bryson. You need an

620
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: iron player, so you'd go like Terrell Hatton or Jaukee Neeman,

621
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: and for putting, you chose Cam Smith or Patrick Reid

622
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: for short game. I don't think you. I think you

623
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: were underestimating if you just took any three guys in

624
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: like the top. Obviously some guys have different strengths, but

625
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: just you know, Jake Knap off the tee bombs it.

626
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: If you take like JJ Spahn, good iron player, you

627
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: know you just went around Russell Henley good putter. You

628
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: would win every scramble you ever entered at any course.

629
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: I might pick like entertaining guys. That's why I would

630
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: pick like. I might go some live guys like Bryson

631
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: Phil and Terrell Hatton. You know the problem with Rory

632
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: Scotty jud be probably fun, it might be kind of boring.

633
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: I know you're high in Rory. I think he will

634
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: undeniably win a major this year. Even with how well

635
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: he is playing, It's hard for me to think he

636
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: can win Augusta. The last six Majors have all been

637
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: faders of the ball. Every time Rory deviates from his

638
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: stock three point thirty yard draw, he seems to get

639
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 1: double crossed. Augusta doesn't set up well for him going

640
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: out of position, missing fairways. It's a course of immense

641
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: precision in missing in the correct spots, something I think

642
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: he's unable to do at a fade bias Augusta National

643
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: given his draw bias driver. Do you think his play

644
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: right now can supersede all this? Can he complete the

645
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: career Grand Slam this season? Also? Who are your sleeper

646
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: picks to top ten this year? Although it's hard to

647
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: tell which live golfers are playing well in which one

648
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: or not. Nieman seems to be an outlier. I would

649
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: say I kind of like Phil coming into Augusta. I

650
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: think taking Phil to top ten and twenty is not

651
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: crazy sometimes older guys at this course. He's really comfortable here.

652
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: He's played well this week. I think he finished like

653
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: third or fifth last week. Again, it's hard to a

654
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago it live. It's hard to know,

655
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: but you just know Phil's showing some signs of life.

656
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: This is a good place. I think Phil, Patrick Reid,

657
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: Sergio Sergio is playing well. Patrick Reid just plays well.

658
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: I think you're much more likely to bet on those

659
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: guys who are comfortable at this tournament than like Joaquin Neeman.

660
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: As Joaque Neeman ever had any success. I know everyone's

661
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: kind of blown him this year, but as he I

662
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: don't even think he's ever been good at a major.

663
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Joaque Neman the last the last five years,

664
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: here's what he's done at the Masters T forty thirty five,

665
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: T sixteen, T twenty two. He's actually been pretty good

666
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Don't okay, don't hate Jaque Neman.

667
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: He has not really had much. Made your success a

668
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: lot of cuts, a lot of T thirties, T thirty,

669
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: T forty seven, T fifty three, T fifty eight. Now

670
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: Homo was like that last year, and then he played

671
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: well at the Masters, so you never know. I like

672
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: guys that have had previous success here. I do think

673
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: between Sergio, phil and Patrick Reid, one of those three

674
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: guys is going to finish in the top ten. I

675
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: don't know which one, kind of like Phil. A question

676
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: for the pod end on this. This is from Zach

677
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: if you had won the Masters, what would your champion

678
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: dinner be? Side note? If you find yourself in Jersey

679
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: arguably some of the best golf of the country. I'm

680
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: a GM in a public golf course in North New Jersey,

681
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: but can get you pretty much anywhere on in the state.

682
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, you know, it's weird. I love food,

683
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: and I probably eat too much of it. I'm trying

684
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: to work on, you know, lowering the caloric intake. I

685
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: would not call myself like I would say, like like

686
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: a foodie. I'll try anything, So I'm not like an

687
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: anti foodie, but I'm definitely not like an elitist when

688
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: it comes to food. I like a nice steakhouse as

689
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: much as the next guy. I can also eat Chick

690
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: fil a or some hole in the wall Mexican joint,

691
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 1: like five days a week. If Maria was in my life,

692
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: I would eat Chipotle Bulls, I don't know, four times

693
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: a week for dinner. So you know, Scotty takes some

694
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: shit for his menu because he goes with like sliders

695
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: and barbecue beans and you know, just more of a

696
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: barbecue feel like a cookie on warm ice cream, or

697
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: I mean a warm cookie on a vanilla ice cream.

698
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: I actually think the Master's Dinner is less about, you know,

699
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: being like some French laundry experience for those of you

700
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: that don't know what that is. That's the gavenous and restaurant.

701
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: But the reason it was such a big moment not

702
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: because he broke the rules, but because that is like

703
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: the most famous restaurant in the NAPA area. And it's like,

704
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: you know, thousand dollars a person supposed to just be

705
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: a lead food but it is kind of fufy, like

706
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: when you see pictures. You know, it's just those things

707
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: that's very expensive. You get tiny little plates which probably

708
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: taste incredible. But I think the Masters is more like

709
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: steak and potatoes, and more telling stories in being with

710
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: the guys. Obviously there are a lot of people in

711
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: that room. This is not like the seventies or the

712
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: eighties where guys are probably getting blasted, because a large

713
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: percentage of the guys take it really seriously and clearly

714
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: if you had just wanted the previous year, like Scotty,

715
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: like we're trying to win it again. A couple of

716
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: the old guys potentially don't care and just fare to

717
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 1: have some cocktails. But I do think it's less about

718
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 1: the food experience and I could be wrong, and more

719
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: about the the vibes and the bonding of the people

720
00:38:55,880 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 1: and just telling stories about I don't know golf tournament life,

721
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: so I don't think I would overthink it. I would

722
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: keep it pretty. I wouldn't veer fall far off to me.

723
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 1: Some sort of salad. I think I've heard Scotty say

724
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: you have to include some sort of fish or kind

725
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: of If you're gonna go red meat, you gotta include

726
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: either chicken, fish, something you know, a little lighter. For guys,

727
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: I might just go give you a nice steak option,

728
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: chicken or fish option, maybe you know, with some pasta

729
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,959
Speaker 1: a salad just some I think it's hard to go wrong.

730
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for like crabcakes and calamari something like that.

731
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: With the appetizer, yeah, ice cream Sunday or something like

732
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: that at the end. I don't know. Tiger is a

733
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: big milkshake guy. Like some people online make fun of you.

734
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: But I think some of these people they try to

735
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: think that they would go above and beyond. I don't

736
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: know if that'd be a huge hit. Like, does anyone

737
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: complain when they go to I don't know, Flemings or

738
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: wherever your steakhouse is. What do you usually get there? Steak,

739
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: some mac and cheese, or a potato asparagus salad. I mean,

740
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 1: you get the same thing most of the time every

741
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: time you go. For most of us, the most expensive

742
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: dinner that we attend is a steakhouse, right, And every

743
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: time I go to a steakhouse, give or take, I

744
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: get the same thing, and I usually enjoy it. Yet

745
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: whenever the master's menu comes out, which the guy that

746
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: wins it has to pay for, it's like, God, he's

747
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: just such a boring Obviously, if you're just going like

748
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: chicken tacos or something, that would be stupid, But I

749
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: think I would just go some greens, a potato ish,

750
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: something like mac and cheese, calamari crab cakes because I

751
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: like those, a steak, a chicken or a fish, and

752
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: an ice cream Sunday. And I think most people would

753
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: be pretty so that that would be my decision over

754
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 1: something like trying to act like I'm you know, Emerald

755
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: Leagasi here the volume mhm
