1 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Okay, I hit a driver off the deck from like 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: two to naughty or something on the seventh holand it's 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: a it's a pin that's tough to get close to 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: with a sandwich and he hit it to twelve feet 5 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: with a driver. UM. So probably the shot of the tournament. 6 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: It probably wasn't the shot heard around the world. This 7 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: was the shot heard around Melbourne. Maybe that got in 8 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: my head. Can't you John noth thing what I'm thinking 9 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: about about? God? Can't get him now? Jan not to 10 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: think well I'm thinking about Hello. This is Alan Schip 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: knock back for another Fire Drill podcast. This is an 12 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: extra special one. Joining us from Melbourne is Jeff Ogilvie 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: as usual, but not as a podcaster, as the host 14 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: of the sand Built Invitational, which just concluded moments ago 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: and his uh sitting to his laugh, Well, Jeff, why 16 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: don't why don't you introduce your guest, I gas r 17 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: up little bit.

UM second overall in the tournament, 19 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: UM leading leading female in the tournament, Memerica Kabori. She's 20 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: had an unbelievable tournament. She pushed Cam Daves all the 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: way down the line all weeks. She broke two course 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: records this week King s Nathan Row Melbourne. I think, Um, 23 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: so you don't break course records of Kings Nathan Row 24 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: Melbourne every day, especially, don't do it both all in 25 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: the same tournaments.

Yeah, so Momerica, congratulation's Um. 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: What did it feel like to have a chance to 36 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: win this tournament? You know, anytime you're in contention, obviously 37 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: there's nerves and there's excitement and um. But you know, 38 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: obviously KEM Davis is a very established player. There's a 39 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: lot of other well known you know, male touring pros 40 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: on that leaderboard and you were racing past all them, 41 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: Like just how exciting was that for you? Yeah? Honestly, 42 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: it was probably um, I just wanted to like probably 43 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: one of the most fun I've had on the course 44 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: in a long time, I want to say this week. 45 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean, you know, I got to play 46 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: with Cam for the last three rounds, which was amazing, 47 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: as we all know, you know, the chiefs some amazing things, 48 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: and just being able to watch what he does around 49 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: the course as well, you know, just how he plays 50 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: the ball and it's obviously, you know, pretty different to 51 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: how I do it. So it was actually like, um 52 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: a lot to kind of you know take in for me. 53 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: And yeah, it was actually quite funny. Um you know, 54 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: like you said, you know, we'll all get you know, 55 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: the nerves and adrenaline going down the stretch, but it 56 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: was quite funny. I think we were on the seventh 57 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: thing whole today. So I had my coach Dom on 58 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: the bag and I was just into him like I 59 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: actually don't know what I'm shooting right now, or what 60 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: cameras or well and I have far behind I am 61 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: or anything like that, which was you know, like usually 62 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: I tend to kind of know where I'm sitting and 63 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: you know, I can't really help but to think about 64 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: the score but this week kind of, you know, it 65 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: was I think guess we were kind of so focused 66 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: on trying to hit it in the same spots, and 67 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: you know, I guess the course being so challenging, you 68 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: kind of have to you know, give yourself a good place, 69 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: you know, good shots in and put yourself in the 70 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: right spot. So there was in a way there was 71 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: probably a unique experience, I think for me, but just 72 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: overall just honestly had so much fun out there, I 73 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: think from you know, I've heard the same thing from 74 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: a lot of players. Just such a unique opportunity to 75 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: be able to play, um, you know, these four amazing 76 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: courses on standbut you know all in one one week, 77 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: which is you know, it's it's you know, you never 78 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: get that opportunity anywhere else. So honestly, just you know, 79 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: big thanks to Jeff really is for putting this all 80 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: together for all of us, and I think a lot 81 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: of us, I mean all of us just really enjoyed 82 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: our time out. Yeah, so did your coach tell you 83 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: where you were? I mean, did you know on the 84 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: last couple of holes of how you had a chance 85 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: to snatch that trophy? We were kind of guessing we 86 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: were like, oh, I think I'm too on the for 87 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: the day, and I think cam is won ahead of you, 88 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: but we're not really sure. It was actually the conversation 89 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: we had coming down, I think the samithing the past 90 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: five um, so I think we kind of had a 91 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: rough idea, but we weren't really sure. We were like, oh, 92 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter. I just do what we can, 93 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: trying to make two birdies last two holes, and you 94 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: know that's enough to win it it is and if 95 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: it's not, it's not. Kind Of we had that kind 96 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: of pretty chilled out mentality going out there, So that 97 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: was you know that there was a lot of fun 98 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: as well. Jeff, would you love to have that kind 99 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: of just mental clarity in contention, just don't worry about 100 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: just make birdies and like, that's a I've never been well. 101 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: I guess sometimes when you're just when you're just black 102 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: out and shoot not under something one day and you 103 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: don't even know what you're doing in those days when 104 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: you get in the zone or whatever. But that's that's 105 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: a handful of times in thirty years, you know, I mean, 106 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: generally you know exactly what you're having and you're either 107 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: excited because you're playing well and you're in the lead, 108 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: or you're grump because you're not um usually very very aware. 109 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's it's kind of part of this tournament, 110 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: I think, is so it's still at a very pure place, 111 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: so there's not leaderboards everywhere. Um usually you're just hit 112 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: in the face with where you're at everywhere you turn, 113 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: like I mean, especially I mean the PGA Tour, you're 114 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: like there's a leaderboard everywhere, and it's like you've seen 115 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: highlights from other people's holes on the screens all the time, 116 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: and like it's hold different sort of vibe. It's kind 117 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: of nice to go back to pure people walking like 118 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: spectators on the fairways. Everyone just four different courses I 119 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: think sort of adds to that sort of it's an adventure. 120 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: You play seventy two different holes in the tournament, you know, 121 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: so to actually do well in the end. There's actually 122 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: pretty nuts to be up the top of the leader board, 123 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: because that's, as it said, normally, you sort of get 124 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: to think you go Thursday Fridays, but by the time 125 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: you get to Saturday, kind of learning the course and 126 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: working out how to play at this one, you've got 127 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: ahold new course every day. I mean, are all in 128 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: a similar condition, but they're a little bit different. Kingston 129 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: was as tough as king well, not as tough as 130 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: it gets, but it was firm fast. It's a really 131 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: awkward course to play well. Kingson I find always raw. 132 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: Melbourne is a challenge all of its own um, and 133 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: then Yarryarra was really different. They have different grains. They 134 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: have really fast power grains compared to the other three 135 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: a bend um. They all actually have a different grass 136 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: on the greens these courses, which makes it sort of 137 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: an adjustment every day. And that's sort of I think 138 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: part of it. Because part of this tournament it's it's 139 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: it's a tournament to sort of showcase the golf courses. 140 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: It's too, um give everyone an opportunity to sort of 141 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: the amateurs, a chance to play with the pros, the 142 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: guys that players, to change plans with the girls, and 143 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: everyone to play with everyone who we never get to 144 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: play with each other, so that's really nice. But I 145 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: think it's almost the perfect tournament for improving your tournament 146 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: play because you have to learn a golf course really 147 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: fast in the morning almost and you did you of 148 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: learning along the way and you have to sort of 149 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: make great decisions all the way around without sort of 150 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: that three practice rounds and cut the rounds under your 151 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: belt sort of knowledge. You're just going bang, bang, bang, 152 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: And it's a new hole every whole and um, different 153 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: conditions every day, albeit similar conditions. Um, yeah, it's it's 154 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: just a cool It's just turned out there's so many 155 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: good things to this tournament that we didn't even think of. 156 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: We just so, let's just put a few people on 157 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: the sand belt four days in a row and see 158 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: what you see what happens. But there's so many sort 159 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: of side sort of benefits to this tournament, good aspects 160 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: that we hadn't even thought of until it actually happens. 161 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: And this is our second one and it's all happened again, 162 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: and um, just up in the clubhouse with a bunch 163 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: of the players who played and spectators and all the 164 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: people from the other golf courses all turned up today 165 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: and stuff. And I've never had so many positive reviews 166 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: of something, you know. It's just it's just turned out 167 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: to be a really cool format and a cool idea, 168 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: and the clubs love it. And we had pristine weather 169 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: for the first three days. I mean, Melbourne's traditionally quite 170 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: changeable and up and down, but um, first three days 171 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: were the best three days we've had in two comfortably. 172 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: And it was like um celsius every day, which for 173 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: you guys is eight fahrenheit every single day, no wind, 174 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: which is really rare for Melbourne, not just a tiny 175 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: bit of wind. And then today we had rain all morning, 176 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: but it's sort of got really nice at the end. 177 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: There was sort of a dark sky with thunderstorms, but 178 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: it kind of got nice the last couple of holes, 179 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: and um, it couldn't have been better, really good. And 180 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: the course it was so good that, I mean, the 181 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: conditioning is so ridiculous here, how good they all are, 182 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: and they're all showing off to try to be sort 183 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: of better than yesterday, and they want to be the 184 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: one that stands out amongst the four and it's really 185 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: difficult to stand out amongst these courses because they're also good. Um, 186 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: it's just a treat to come every day and get 187 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: on these courses when they're trying to impress you, you know, 188 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: and there's four of the best courses in the world 189 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: all trying to impress you. They come up pretty good. 190 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: You know, so that was great fun. Yeah. Well, I mean, 191 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: congrats to you, Jeff, because like you've really you've pulled 192 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: this off. I mean, um, and this this was kind 193 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: of the best case scenario with the fitness I mean, 194 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: Cameron Davis, p DO Tour Winner, Presidents Cup, you have 195 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: made a great showing there. Yeah, it was you know, 196 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: other than yourself, was probably the marquee player in the field, 197 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: and to have to have him win it, but to 198 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: be pushed to the you know, part of the obviously 199 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: the mission this term is to bring men and women 200 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: together to play together, and boys and girls. I mean 201 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: you have you have some teenagers and um, so to 202 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: have momocca like chasing down Cam like that, that's what 203 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: you dreamed about, right, It was a yeah, total dream 204 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: And to get the set up brought. Um so it 205 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: matched up because Cam hits at three and thirty yards right, 206 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: like it's a different sort of like level, and to 207 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: match it up, and it obviously worked out pretty well, 208 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: right it seemed fair, I think I think so it 209 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: worked out pretty well because um, you know, I think 210 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: it balanced out really well because since we had some 211 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: of the holes that were you know, that played as 212 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: reasonably easier Part five saw us and tough part forth 213 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: for the guys, and then there were also holes where 214 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: you know, we'll be teeing off simm holes, which then 215 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: was similar to you sorry, which then kind of balanced 216 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: that out, I think across the board. So I think 217 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: it worked out really well, which you know, I was, 218 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: you know, it was really really cool to see me. 219 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: It's obviously really tough to get that right, I think too, 220 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: you know, just it's so hard to get that balance 221 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: right because it's just, you know, so many variables out there. 222 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: But I thought it was, you know, playing really cool, 223 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: really good. Yeah. I mean, I guess we had the 224 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: best guy in the field and the best girl in 225 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: the field coming up the last, separated by one shot. 226 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: So I guess it worked out really well. So we 227 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: don't do it total strokes. We do it relative to 228 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: part right, um, which is I think a better way 229 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: to match it up. I think, um, yeah, and I 230 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: worked out perfectly. Yeah, So um Cama Michael were clearly 231 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: the two best players in the field, and as I 232 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: said that, we were separated by well, they were tired 233 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: I think with two to play. Actually, Um and cam 234 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: File reports I didn't say it, but Cam hit a 235 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: driver off the deck from like two eight or two 236 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: naughty or something on the seventh holand it's a it's 237 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: a pin that's tough to get close to with a 238 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: sandwich and he hit it to twelve feet with a driver. 239 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: Um so probably the shot of the tournament. Shan probably 240 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: wasn't captured on live tebe they or something, because it 241 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: would have been like the shot of the year or something. Apparently, Um, 242 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: I was gonna say that sounds like like like Sarazan's um, 243 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: you know, hold out in Augusta. It's which was the 244 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: second playing of the Masters, that you need to stunt 245 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: like that to kind of help put things on the map. 246 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: So that's just probably wasn't the shot heard around the world. 247 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: This was the shot heard around Melbourne. Maybe start well, 248 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: so Molica, let's talk about what this this means for 249 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: your career. You know, obviously you're twenty three years old, 250 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: turn pro last year after having a very nice career 251 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: at pepper Dye and and you've had success on the 252 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: developmental tours. But what will this week do for you 253 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: and you know, to push you forward in your young career. Yeah, 254 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: I think what kind have happened this week in a 255 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: lot of areas I feel like gives me a bit 256 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: of confidence going into next season. UM, you know, just um, 257 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: I guess. I mean there's a lot of things that 258 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: kind of happened this week, but being able to play 259 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: UM kind of against the quality of the field that 260 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: we were able to this week and on the courses 261 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: that you know set up not easy at all, UM, 262 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: you know, even compared to UM, just compared to any 263 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: other courses around the world that will get to play. 264 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: I mean, the setup of it is you know, absolutely 265 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: pure UM. You know, difficult. You know, they'll be difficult pins, 266 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: you know, the condition of greens, all that kind of stuff. 267 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think being able to kind of play 268 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: the way UM I was able to UM kind of 269 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: confirms that the stuff that I've been working on leading 270 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: up to, you know, this week, in the last few 271 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: weeks have actually been UM, a real positive. You know, 272 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: being able to do that in a tournament, you know, 273 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: there'll be things that will be working on at all times, 274 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: and we'll be you know, just be on the range 275 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: practice rounds will be like, oh yeah, we've got them, 276 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: but being able to do them in a tournament situation 277 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: like this is you know, can sometimes be an entirely 278 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: different story. So, um, yeah, I think in that sense, 279 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, this was such a great opportunity for me 280 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: to be able to test it as well. Um, you know, 281 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: in a proper tournament situation, which you know, we don't 282 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: really we don't always get the chance to do. And 283 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: you know, now we're kind of going into the summer, 284 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: um Christmas break kind of thing, so I've probably got 285 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: three or four weeks to work on a few things 286 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: that I was able to kind of pick up on 287 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: this week, and so you know, for me, like this week, 288 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: I just feel like I just got so much out 289 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: of it, really, Um kind of learned a lot about 290 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: my own game, learned a lot about from watching the 291 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: guys play as well, especially you know, not to mention 292 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: watching cam play, but you know, we're playing with Mecca today, 293 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: and you know, it was it was Actually I find 294 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: it really cool being able to play with the guys, 295 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: you know, like watching them close up, because you know, 296 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: we might play in the same tournament quite a few times, 297 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: but we don't really we often get to watch close 298 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: up what they do, and I feel like there's a 299 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: lot that, um, we can kind of learn from you know, 300 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: how they play the game and um that kind of stuff. 301 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: So yeah, across the board just got so much out 302 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: of it, so really excited for the season coming up 303 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: next year. Any any fun little um tidbits you can 304 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: share about, like specific shots or putting drills or anything 305 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: that you you were able to witness this week that 306 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: that it kind of clicked and you've you've already sort 307 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: of incorporated into what you do. I feel like I 308 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: saw from the guys, mainly because I don't really get 309 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: the chance to watch the other girls this week, but um, 310 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: I feel like compared to what I do, I feel 311 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: like a lot of the guys shaped the ball really 312 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: well into the greens, which you know, it's it's being 313 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: able to do that. I think a lot of times, 314 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: you know, it can be a massive advantage depending on 315 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: you know, the penn placements, knowing that you know and 316 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: using the contours of the greens, that kind of stuff. 317 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lot of creativity that I 318 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: saw throughout the week, you know, which you know, I 319 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: think there were a couple of times I was watching 320 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: and be like, oh, I'd probably play it like this, 321 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: kind of picturing it in my head you know, and 322 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it will be similar and then sometimes 323 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: well be like completely different. I'd be like, oh wow, 324 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: like I did not think of doing that. So you know, 325 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: there's a few things like that which you know, I 326 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: kind of remember remember back, you know, looking back on 327 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: the last three or four days. So you know, that's 328 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: always cool to see. Yeah, that that's great. Kind of 329 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: expands your your notion of what's possible a little bit. Yeah, yeah, definitely. 330 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: So those who have an ear for accidents will will 331 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: notice that you don't have the arsy like like Jeff, 332 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: but you're actually from New Zealand. I'm wondering, has Lydia 333 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: been an influence and a mentor for you? Lydia She 334 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: has been a big influence on me, for sure. Yeah. 335 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: I think we actually not too far in Asia think, 336 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: but like, you know, just even when I was a 337 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: junior um you know, fifteen fourteen, fifteen sixteen, that's when 338 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: she was already on the world stage, you know, you know, 339 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: I think she was ranking that world number one, I 340 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: think as early as UM probably around that time, and 341 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: I think, you know, she's probably the player that I 342 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: look up to the most, you know, not just because 343 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: she's from New Zealand, but you know, just the amazing 344 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: personality she has and I've been lucky to kind of 345 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: get to know her a little bit more. This year, 346 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: I managed to you know, play in the to my 347 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: own Agia Pacific Cup, which was a team's event, so 348 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: myself and Lydia were able to you know, be the 349 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: represent New Zealand and that event, which was amazing. I 350 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: got just spent three days with her, play in the 351 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: same group as there and yeah, she's just such a genuinely, 352 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: um like nice person that's always like, you know, that's 353 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: wanting to help and you know, yeah, other than you know, 354 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: obviously want to be a player like her, but also 355 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: just kind of as a person that she's someone that 356 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: I really look up to. So um, she's been a 357 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: massive influence to me, just not just think golf, but overall, Yeah, 358 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: I love that, So Jeff, you know, the highlight of 359 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: your week between the ropes was obviously a bogy list 360 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: to were around Royal Melbourne, your your home course and 361 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: the place that we know you love so much, and um, 362 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: you weren't able to string four rounds together like that, 363 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: but as you're continuing to kind of screep off the 364 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: rust and get into a little more competitive mindset. What 365 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 1: did you learn about where your game is and and 366 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: does it does it give you any optimism going forward? Um, 367 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: my game is a long way away, I think, Um 368 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: I was. I did enjoy Role Melbourne. I always do. 369 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: I like the the beauty I think of Role Melbourne 370 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: and courses like that. Um is that if you know 371 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: how to that it's so strategic that if you know 372 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: how to play it, you can be playing poorly and 373 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: have a good score if you know how you do 374 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: it and know what you're doing, and if you're playing 375 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: you could if you don't know what you're doing, you 376 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: can play well and have a bad score, which I 377 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: kind of really like. It's more about knowing how to 378 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: play the course rather than we play so much golf 379 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: that it's it's all about precision. You had a good shot, 380 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: in your reward, you had a bad shot, you punished. Um, 381 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: mechanically speaking, just it's an execution contest, whereas Ray Melbourne 382 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: is more of a game of chess. Um, and it 383 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: always sort of gets me excited. Yeah, my game's actually 384 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: total crap, to be honest, But um, there's signs like 385 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: there's some good stuff. I mean, I've just got you 386 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: get so much going on and when you're running I'm 387 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: not running this golf tournent by any means. There's a 388 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: lot of people doing most of the heavy lifting, but 389 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: there's way more going on just the last few weeks 390 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: for this tournament that I normally would have having a 391 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: golf tournament. And I've played golf twice, I think since 392 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: he's trying open, so um, there was enough good stuff 393 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: that I'm sort of got some positives and I did. Um, 394 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: I did get a little bit of it, as you 395 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: always do at the end of a crap week, Somewhere 396 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: in the last two or three hours, you're like, oh, 397 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: there it is. So I'm leaving with like hope, which 398 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: is always annoying, right, um, but exciting as well. So 399 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: I've got something that I work on. I want to 400 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: go hit balls now actually to be honest, because I've 401 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: got actually an inkling of an idea that might uh 402 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: like solve a few of the issues that I mean having. 403 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: But anyway, Um, it was okay, and it's so fun 404 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: to play this. I'm just happy that everyone had a 405 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: good time, um, and that it's sort of some of 406 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: what my moocha is saying, is ringing like exactly what 407 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: we want to hear. How much everyone's learning watching everyone 408 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: else play golf, play these golf courses. Um, it really 409 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: is in the spirit of I mean, there's a mentoring aspect, 410 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: but there's just a learning aspect and experience aspect. And 411 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: there's no other golf tournament in the world where're going 412 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: to get to play seventy two great holes that are 413 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: all different in a row, four days in a row. 414 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: You know, we got really fortunate where the weather. It 415 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: would have kind of been nice to see a bit 416 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: of wind get up a couple of times. Um. But yeah, 417 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: it's just this, as I said, this tournament, we just 418 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: kind of wanted a little bit of a nice experience 419 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: and hey, let's treat everyone at the end of the 420 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: year and play for good courses and put everyone in 421 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: the same thing, and let's just have a bit of 422 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: fun at the end of year. And it's turned out 423 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: to be there's so many stressed to this tournament that 424 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: I that we didn't imagine that are happening. So um, yeah, 425 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: my golf is plenty of room for improvement. But there's Um, 426 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: as I said, there was a couple of glimmers there 427 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: towards the end. Row Melton was a fun day and 428 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: it's nice to know I can still play golf of 429 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: course like that, Okay, even when I'm not really playing 430 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: super well. Um, but there was some glimmers. I've got 431 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: something to work on over Christmas in the next month 432 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: really until I've got anything serious to play again. So 433 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: we'll see us as always. To be continued. I'd love 434 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: to hear that well. Obviously, the first playing of the 435 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: Invitation of the last year, you threw it together really 436 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: fast and pulled it off, but it was it was 437 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: you're sort of building the airplane while you're flying it. 438 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: You had this whole year to refine the idea and 439 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: and um, what's next. I mean, I'm sure every you 440 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: learned a lot this week of things you want to play. 441 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: How do you see this evolving into the third annual 442 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: playing a year from now? Yeah, I mean, look, well, 443 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: there's no hurry. I think it's everyone who comes to 444 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: play it. He's having a good time, you know, everyone 445 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: comes to watch. It's having a good time. The clubs 446 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: are liking it. It's sort of ticking all the boxes 447 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: that we wanted to achieve. So we just want to 448 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: gradually improve and just keep investing in the tournament. It's 449 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: not about it's not about raising squillions of dollars and 450 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: paying lots of people and like having big grand stands 451 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: and all that. It's not about that at all. It's 452 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: just about making it a better experience for everyone who 453 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: comes to play it and everyone who comes to watch 454 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: it every year. So we'll there's as you do these things, 455 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: you don't problems you don't. You can't foresee everything until 456 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: they happen, you know. So there's ten or fifteen or 457 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: twenty little things that popped up this week that just 458 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: little things that we sort of noticed, and we've taken 459 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: a few notes, and we'll just improve bit by bit. 460 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we improved a little bit more this year. 461 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: Our organization was a little bit better. We had really 462 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: good communication with the players. I thought this year, better 463 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: balls on the range, everyone got the yardish books and 464 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: stuff at the start of the week. And like we 465 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: just did a few a few things that were just 466 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: a little bit better, and we'll just try to just 467 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: keep doing that, sort of keep investing in the event obviously, 468 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: try to i mean raise a bit more money so 469 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: we can do all that sort of stuff. But we're 470 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: just there's no rush, we think, I think the event 471 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: is great, everybody enjoys it. We're just going to just 472 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: keep polishing and polishing and polishing and just hopefully we 473 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: can keep this going for a really long time. I mean, 474 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: these aren't the only four courses on the sand Belt. 475 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: There's there's a couple of clubs who are really putting 476 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: their hand up hard to get involved. It's gonna be 477 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: hard to get rid of any um, so there'll be 478 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: discussions going forward, but that's some of these clubs will 479 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: be hosting big tournaments in the year. There may be 480 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: hosting in Australian Open or something. Maybe they do that 481 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: and someone else comes in and um so we'll be 482 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: sort of the clubs. It'll probably maybe end up sort 483 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: of a rotation thing. But there's there's more than four 484 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: elite courses on the sand Belt, you know, which is 485 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: just a sign of how fortunate we are in Melbourne. 486 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: So would just yeah, just keep making incremental improvements and 487 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: as long as the players have a good time, everybody 488 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: gets something out of it, The spectators have a good time, 489 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: the clubs enjoy it. Um wait, winning. You know, so 490 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: what if Quantas came to you tomorrow and said, okay, 491 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: we want we want to sponsor this, We'll give you 492 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: a five million dollar perse and uh would obviously you'd 493 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: be happy, But maybe that's not what you envisioned. I mean, 494 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: I've made this parallel in print between you know, Bobby 495 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: Jones started a little tournament and it's got kind of big. 496 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: That was in Georgia and now you we all know 497 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: you loved down the fairway and you have this kinship 498 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: with Jones and now you've started this little tournament. I mean, 499 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: do you fear it could get too big? Like that 500 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: actually happened something like that. I don't fear about big, 501 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: but I I they just we're just not going to 502 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: compromise and sell out to get sponsorship, you know. I mean, 503 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: what if if Jones and Clifford rob it's their genius 504 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: and the Masters still to this day is they keep 505 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: investing in the event. You know, they don't put signs 506 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: on the sides of the fairways and they could have. 507 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: Really they barely market that tournament. You know, all their 508 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: efforts go into making the tournament better. And that's all 509 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: we really want to do here and we'd love massive 510 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: purse and like all that sort of stuff, but that 511 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: that will come in time if we keep doing a 512 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: good job at making it a better and better tournament. 513 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: So we just want to keep you know, just there's 514 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: no real crazy ambition except to just put on the 515 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: best four rounds we can around the best four courses 516 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: we can, you know, and if the players want to come, 517 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: they want to come. We don't put any pressure on 518 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 1: any big players to come play. We let them all 519 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: know that it's on um Cam winning is really really 520 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: exciting for us because he was probably the best player 521 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: in the field obviously, Presidents Cup player. Hopefully he goes 522 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: back and whispers in the locker room that, hey, look, 523 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: if you're not doing anything later in the year, that 524 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: Sam Belt Tournament is a pretty good tournament. But yeah, 525 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: we just we just want everyone to have a good time. 526 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: We just want to keep um just investing in the tournament, 527 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: you know, and if if, if it elevates to something 528 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: really big, that would be great, because this on a 529 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: big scale with everybody watching would be pretty cool. You know. 530 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: Um it's already really cool, you know, so we could 531 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 1: only get better. So we're not chasing any of that 532 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: we're just investing, invested in making it as good an 533 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: event as we can.
