I apologize to all the listeners. Uh, 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.440 you know, we're having a little internal issue here. I 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.600 use squarespace and they have no clue what's going on, 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.919 but I keep getting infiltrated by other squarespace customers. 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.560 The leakers are the real story here. 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:47.280 Internal issue. 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.400 So after today, you know, I know how to fix 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.959 it now, but today's I mean, I I rarely get 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:57.160 got very upset with people, but I was quite. I 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.680 sent a strongly worded email to squares Space, who doesn't 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.280 have a helpline. Otherwise I would have been on that 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.640 line with giving some choice words to the to the 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:13.080 support people over there. But yeah, sorry, Well hopefully we'll 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.760 have it all strained out here. I think I think 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.880 they're they're working on it. They've escalated the situation. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:20.200 But. 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.160 Infiltrating my golf takes, you know, on the. 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.560 Better things, you know, as a Bulls fan, I sit 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:32.119 here and you know, I just wonder how how cavstans 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.920 are doing. What's up with Caves foro ref all. 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.520 We're doing fine. I mean, it's a crooked Warriors team atting, 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.720 you know, tipping the balance in just kind of a 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.480 dishonest way, and it is what it is. 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:45.960 You know. 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.880 We we have our championship after fifty two years. I 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.680 can't complain we ruined their attempt at sixteen and now 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:57.280 and I saw Sean Martin just tweeted something about it. 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.360 The Warriors, add in Durant is like Rory Payne money 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.760 to play from the white teas from the forward teas, 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.600 which is a take I didn't know Martin had in it, 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.400 but I think Rory is like, you know, too much 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.480 credit because we would have wiped the Warriors out and 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.480 without KD. It's more like, you know, Troy Merritt or 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.600 somebody paying to play the forward tees upgrading. 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.400 It's, uh, it'll be an interesting offseason, see what happens, 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.880 I think, and then it's going to be a bad 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.520 thing for the NBA. It's gonna I listened to a 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:32.560 really interesting Howard Back Zach Low podcast about how yeah, 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.320 you know it's gonna hurt at the local ratings, and 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.720 I know, I'm like, I'm a huge Bulls fan. I'm 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:41.200 less interested because we have absolutely no chance of competing. 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.240 Yeah, it wasn't It wasn't fun. I mean, I mean, 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.159 I think that's like a legit not hot take. You 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.479 know that there is that's a legitimate concern. 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.719 So all right, So DJ listening in Jack's you know, 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:57.479 not much, not much. 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.080 I've been kind of bouncing around a lot. 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:03.200 We've been shooting a series, a travel series for AVIS. 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.160 So I was out in Denver with Shane Bacon and 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:12.400 hashtag Chad, a couple of friends of the pod shooting 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.560 some golf travel stuff, and then was in New Orleans 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.200 last week with Bacon and the take Smith Sean Martin. 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.640 So I actually haven't seen I haven't seen much of 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.640 Jack's recently, but back, glad to be back. 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.920 It's steamy. Play a little golf today. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:30.200 It was it's nice and sweaty out there, and yeah, 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.480 it's significantly warmed up since you guys were here. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:37.440 It's just beautiful in Chicago. My my depressing low energy 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:42.719 vibes are gone. You know, it's but you know, speaking 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:48.880 of Midwest, you know weather good segue south. Then Aaron Hills, 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.760 just just a couple of hours north of me. Got 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.480 a little rain yesterday and I think a little bit 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.479 more rain on the way tomorrow. But here in the 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.039 course is handling the rain really well. What are you 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.360 guys most excited about for the week? 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.440 Pretty goodhead, Yeah, I mean I think just seeing seeing 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:14.000 a new venue. Like you said, all the natural land movement, 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.760 I think is the term you used, and I've heard 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:21.520 quite often watching all the coverage. I think it's always 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.920 interesting to see a new venue and the drama that 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.400 surrounds the US Open. I think sometimes it can get 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.360 a little tedious to watch it, which I thought, you know, 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.680 and follow it because it is like, you know, just 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.799 par golf or hanging on. So I like the drama 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.800 that surrounds it, whether it's rules drama or players screaming 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.880 about the course and the USGA trying to justify the course. 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.599 And I think kind of there's always that uneasiness going 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.240 into a new venue like this, especially after Chambers Bay. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.840 It doesn't seem like we're going to approach anything like that. 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.440 But I'm always interested to see players complaining and screaming 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.200 and yelling, and that's that's always an intrigue to whe 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.400 who thrives off of that kind of stuff. Yeah, I 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.280 think I'm in the same I'm in the same boat. 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.000 I'm most excited about the venue, I think, just because 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:13.120 you know, I have liked a lot of what we've 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.280 seen at the US Open in the last five years 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.440 or so. I've we can talk about this later, but 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:22.200 I really like Chambers Bay. I thought was awesome, and 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.360 I think that this year kind of just feels like 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.360 the best of kind of like. 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.440 They finally hit like the right formula and kind of 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:30.800 the best of a lot of these different things. 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.119 I think it's like a you know, a unique golf course. 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.880 It's not necessarily like they're playing it on a you know, 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.080 real lynksy place, but it's it's got a lot of 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.360 those kinds of vibes, but with a lot of kind 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:46.400 of this softish American kind of style of golf. I 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.880 don't know, it just feels really like, it feels like 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:52.440 there's a lot of kind of converging trends that really, 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.000 like you know, have all kind of met up into 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.920 this same place this week, which which I'm into. 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.400 Since both of you guys like yelling and I mean, 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.680 I think we got to dive right into fescue Gate 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:11.160 twenty seventeen. I mean, I have never seen Grass talks 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:12.680 so much about then. 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.040 I think it's one of those I think it's one 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:19.400 of those things where it's just a really easy like 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.640 argument to understand, Like the rough was there and then 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.560 they cut it down, and so it's like easy for 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.800 people to talk about and like get really worked up about. 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:29.840 But you know, I know, Andy, we were talking earlier today, 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.040 like they only cut it on what four holes. 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.360 I mean, I just devoted a whole reporter to it, 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:42.440 just following around the mowers and then saying, rip to 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:46.439 the fescue. It's like, are they cut? Like they cut 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.200 like probably two percent of the total fescue on the 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.000 golf course or maybe even less, maybe one percent. 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.800 I love it. That's what the US US Opens for. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.199 It's just like getting worked up. I wrote something today. 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.640 I was like the USGA, the USJA mowed the lawn 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.400 and everyone lost their minds. Basically. You know, it's like 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.199 we talked about grass and like you know, at Pioneers 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.520 are talking about wire grass and native sandy areas, like 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.800 all these terms of art that you just never hear 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.959 the other fifty one weeks of the year. You hear 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.000 a million times during the US Open week and people 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:24.520 just start screaming about fescio. It's it's fantastic, oh man. 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:31.040 I mean, the the overspray drama with Shackleford and like 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:36.840 every super intendent way and I mean, it's just been unbelievable. 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:42.000 I will say, you know, I did hear some some 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:45.800 different uh some players on Sunday. I was walking around 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:50.440 up there and they were complaining about how thick it 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.080 was in certain spots. 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.160 But I mean, what do you so let's get to 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.640 it then, like, what is it too thick if the 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.360 fairways are sixty yards like Rory is saying, what's. 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:07.559 Here's my issue with it is that, like in championship golf, 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.800 I believe that the further you miss, the more you 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:17.679 should be penalized. And in this situation, the thickest rough 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.839 is the rough right off like the primary cut roff, 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.000 So five yards off the fair away is the thickest 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:29.280 rough and then it gets thinner ten yards in fifteen 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.680 yards in So that to me is an issue where 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.959 if I just barely miss my target, especially if you 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.520 know you're trying to hit it down the left side 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.560 of the fair away, you missed by ten yards, you 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.600 know you are severely more penalized than somebody that misses 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:44.480 by twenty yards. 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.240 That makes sense, and I think that, you know, from 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.840 everything I've read, I mean, that kind of sounds like 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:53.960 it was a mistake if that was the case, right, 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.280 like like that they didn't really want that to be 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.760 that way anyways, kind of the way that that turned out. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:01.240 If that's why they. 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.040 Were kind of knocking it down, I think then that's 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.000 a good move for for what they're doing. I mean, 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.160 I think that makes sense, but I don't think that 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.640 they would. I don't think they've changed it because people 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.760 were complaining or anything like that. I mean, I was 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.120 pretty checked out of Twitter today, but I'm guessing that 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:17.679 some people had that take. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.400 Oh everyone, everyone had that take. Brandal Brandell was on 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.280 like the coverage tonight saying like, nah, basically. 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:27.679 Cause this, you know, saying it was. 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.840 All you know, Kevin Naz like deserves a byline for 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.440 this championship from here on out. It's like I couldn't 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.520 believe it. I mean, I think it was only four holes, 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.800 but it is like dramatic to see them just wholesale 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:45.000 changing the course and hauling away these like truckloads of grass. 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.400 Well, so, Andy, what do you so? What do you think? 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.880 So go into your favorite two words with an angles. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:53.880 You know, when they're moving these pins around and like 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.520 you're making you know, you're making one side of the 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.680 fairway so much more of a premium than the other, 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.480 you know, how to how does that make you feel? Like? 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.840 I kind of feel like if you're if you're really 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.160 trying to hit the left side of the fairway to 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:11.640 get a good birdie chance, bringing that gnarly ass fescue 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.640 into play is like kind of awesome. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.000 Oh yeah, it's totally odd. I think, like you can 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.040 need to be, but there's enough width at this course. 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.319 And then the other thing is the natural land movement. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:27.199 I mean, so like there will be sides of fairways 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.240 that have like severe undulation and other sides that are 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:34.200 you know, flatter, so you'll have this risk where one 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.280 side of the fairway isn't necessarily right and the greens 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:41.040 are really big. So you've got these massive greens where 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.120 a back left pin. And then and you couple that 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.280 with the five different t's that can play the holes 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:53.440 from and the flexibility is unbelievable here in terms of 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.280 the ways they can play holes, and I mean Speed 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.959 hit on it today in his press conference talking about 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.960 how it's almost hardly because there's so many different ways 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.560 that the holes can be played. So I think that's 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.200 one of the cool things. And I think there, I mean, 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.680 from what I saw when I was out there, there 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:15.520 could be as many as three driveable par fours. And 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.880 if they set it up a certain way the second hole, 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.720 the if they play way up on the fourth hole, 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.640 which the fourth hole could be just the ejector hole 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.040 of all the ejector holes. When they put the pin 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.360 on the right side the green, it is so nasty 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.600 and anybody that shoots that pin is you know, if 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.000 they don't have a perfect shot, they could be playing 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:42.839 like ping pong back and forth. I mean one of 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.520 the caddies I was talking to that that's from Aaron Hills, 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.720 was like, when the pin's right, you need to aim 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:49.640 at the very far left edge of the green and 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.760 just let it funnel in to the middle. So it's 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.640 interesting that'll be that'll be an interesting hole to watch. 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.200 And then the flexibility you're talking about kind of reminds 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.040 me of another Midwest of course, rich Harvis Farms. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.079 Yes, yes, there are many T boxes there. There's someone 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.040 I found, you know, one thing I held back on, 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.000 you know, I made a truce at then, I mean 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.000 at the end to stop on that golf course. I 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.320 found an abandoned T shot a T box and I 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.520 couldn't figure out where it went, and I took a 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:30.960 picture that I haven't ever hosted it. So on the 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:35.359 you know, of course, with some wan strategy and options. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.240 So do you think do you think those options get 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.280 you know, sometimes the us GA tries to get like 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.040 a little too cute out thanks themselves. Do you think 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.040 there's too many options to get in trouble? 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.760 Well, I mean I think this is what you what 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.600 you described at the beginning of the the podcast as 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:53.840 the beauty of the US open like watching the u 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.800 U s G a like fumble like different things and 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.920 everybody overreact to everything I do. So this course should 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:03.160 set up quite well for that. 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.200 I mean, but by and large, you know this rescue 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.840 Gate aside, like I don't think we've seen this is 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.040 an annual thing, like whether it was I don't know. 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.080 I was looking to day at his like some of 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.880 the past posts I've done, like Lee McCoy, like dribbling 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.320 his ball down the fairway at Chambers Bay. 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:22.000 Remember it was like. 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:28.840 And like h Graan mcdal finding like fake clumps of 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:33.040 grass and the like native areas that Native areas that 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.600 Pinehurst and fourteen. It's like fake news, fake grass. It's 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.720 these big, like huge clumps like and just picked it 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.000 up like it was like a hairball. There's just like 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.440 always this social media outroar and if like the worst 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.400 we get is like Kevin nah yelling into his phone, 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.040 like that's not that bad because this video is better 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:53.880 Nah or. 0:15:54.000 --> 0:16:00.280 Westwoods, They're both good. I thought not I'm team Nah. 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.000 I just loved how you the last thing you expected 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.280 was somebody to crawl out of thee. 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.160 Maybe the best the best way I heard this put, 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:18.920 I think was your boy Michael Clayton was talking about it, 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.720 and like it kind of reminds me of the par 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.680 argument and the fact that par Is kind of just 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:25.800 a number that people. 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:26.280 Freak out about. 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.560 But if if this fescue was a water hazard, like 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:33.600 literally nobody would even think twice about it. 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.560 Or mention it, And just the fact that it's not is, like, 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.040 you know, just makes everybody lose your mind. Yeah, Rory 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:40.640 said that today. 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.800 It's like if they put you know, red steaks and 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:44.680 red lines up the side of it, like they wouldn't, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.360 we wouldn't be getting Instagram videos about it, right. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:47.880 Yeah. 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:54.000 Hey, you know, if golfers like they're gonna complain about something, 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.320 because most of them have so much confidence that like 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.520 nothing is ever their fault that goes wrong on the 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.480 golf course. So you know, that's part of why they're 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.919 the best in the world is that they never hit 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.240 a bad shots. You know, the USGA stand fault that 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:10.280 the rescue was there. 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.400 Doesn't that mess you up? Like the whole week though, 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.680 Like that's what you're focusing on going into the week. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.960 Oh yeah, yeah, that couldn't have helped Kevin Na's preparation that, like, 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:21.560 all of a sudden, he's in these headlines. 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.920 I also think that that was mostly a joke, you know, 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.400 and it probably just got completely best construed, as things 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.119 often do in society today. 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:38.120 So Kevin Nah as like analogy for all that's wrong 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:38.840 with society. 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:44.680 I like it, you know. Yeah, So where do where 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:45.120 do you think? 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.520 Like I was watching some of like The Flyovers and 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.800 Noblo and stuff like that, and I heard like Baba 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.680 drove number two. That sounds like a cool hole. Just 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.240 seems like there are a lot of options going on. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:57.960 Where do you think it could get away from him? 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.280 Seems like nine. I'm intrigued by that, Like weg shot, 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:02.840 if it could get a little crazy. 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.320 Nine nine could be like a double or a six. 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:12.120 You know, somebody can make big numbers there. The par 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:17.520 five fourteenth and then the par four fifteenth could be 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:22.879 big swings. Like I think the fourteenth is like a 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.040 longer par five. If for the long hitters. It's a 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.400 really tough driving hole if you want hit driver, because 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.960 there's some bunkers that shrink the fairway and there's a 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.639 center line bunker which I love, and it makes you 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:39.560 know two small fairways, and then you know there's like 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.600 you know, they basically give you this layup. It's like, 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:44.800 you know, a longer hitter, it will be like a 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.879 seven iron, Like you can hit the seven iron here 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.800 and you have a wedge in but it's semi blind, 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.840 you know. Or you can go for this crazy shot 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.040 in two and if you don't hit in the exact 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.960 right slope, everything just funnels like way down to the 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:03.880 right and you're left with like the short sighted pitch 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:08.480 shot up a fifty foot mountain. So that hole is 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.879 really cool. And there's some there's some very long fescue 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:16.480 that kind of cuts up the kind of the middle, 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.800 so some more thick rescue that you could lose the 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.840 ball in. So that one's really cool. And then fifteen 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.040 to that short part four that everybody that they've they've 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.800 shown a lot of flyovers of where you've got a 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:33.159 lot of bunkers. I think I'm guessing most players are 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.760 going to hit a four iron. I was thinking about 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.360 writing up the whole feature about a guess thing. They'll 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.080 hit a four iron right and then just take the 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.960 free wedge. But you might see some guys, you know, 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.480 try and drive it depending on where they put the tee. 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.400 But if I were playing it, I'd just hit four 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:49.480 iron wedge every day. 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.520 Yeah, it sounds like I was watching some highlights of 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.159 the AM like can't lay I guess blew it, Like 0:19:58.240 --> 0:19:59.800 you hit an eight iron off the one with tea 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.200 into like a well. I think that's central one of 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.120 the bunkers in the middle of the faraway Like it's 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.479 sometimes laying up or you know, taking being safe off 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:09.040 the tee can get you in trouble, like he hit 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.399 an eight iron some ridiculous distance that carried into this 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:13.240 faraway longer. 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:17.480 Yeah, that hole that whole like fairway runs really hard 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.119 to the right right end to fest too, so like 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.720 you can hit a good shot like I was talking 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.000 to a player who said, oh, you can hit a 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.440 really good shot here and it could still go in 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:30.040 the fescue. 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:33.960 I think, uh you should. 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.520 I think you were talking about it in uh maybe 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.680 your preview thing. But I think one of the things 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:41.720 I'm most excited about too. It just is all the 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.440 bunkering and the fact that like there's basically no flat 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:46.800 lies out there, and a lot of these bunkers how 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.600 there's so much slow inside the bunker, which is awesome. 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:50.600 I love that. 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:54.040 I love watching guys hit like weird crouching kind of 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:58.000 like uncomfortable shots above their feet, shots below their feet, 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.119 like that's that's the best, and then just seeing how 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.320 close they put it most of the time, Like that's awesome. 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:08.320 Yeah, there's like like a bunker, you know, like I've 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:12.440 never seen where like you could visibly see like a 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.800 like almost like when you see like a big hump 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:18.440 or a roll in a green, you could see that 0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:20.800 he's in bunkers. So like in the middle of a 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:25.879 bunker there's sometimes like a uphill and downhill undulation right 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:30.360 in the middle of it, so so that that's kind 0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:32.720 of interesting. I think a lot of the bunkers also, 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:37.159 like especially with the fairy ones, that are less penal 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.040 the closer you are to the fair away, So the 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:43.160 further you miss into them to the right, the more 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:45.960
