2
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: and roll, baby, Let's just dive right into this. I

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: have a couple thoughts right up the top, Scottie Scheffler,

4
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: players Champ. The golf ball rollback not gonna lie, I

5
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: don't really love it. We will talk to Sobel. He

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: knows the rules and the mindset behind the golf ball rollback.

7
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Some thoughts on this weekend's valves Bar Live is also

8
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: being played now I think lives pretty readily available to

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: gamble on as well, and then we will have a long,

10
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: long mailback. A lot of questions at golopod. At golopod

Speaker 1: take your ones, have a good time, do it on me,

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: thank me later. Okay, just a couple quick things I

36
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: wanted to hit on. First and foremost is I think

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: taller players in general are at an advantage in golf.

38
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: I've been to a lot of PJ tournaments, I would

39
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: say over the last decade. Stood next to DJ, stood

40
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: next to Tiger, stood next to Phil, they are longer

41
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: linear athletes. Obviously Phil has battled weight, time and two

42
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: and tigers muscle bound. But to me, if I was

43
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: developing a golfer from scratch, he would be six two

44
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: to sixty three. Fall though is tall. Greg Norman is tall.

45
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler has that now, Rory somewhat of an outlier.

46
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: A shorter player. Jordan Spieth also relatively tall, I would

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: j I would say JT's one of the better players

48
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: on tour, not necessarily right now, he's not playing great.

49
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: I gamble on him a lot. Who is who is shorter?

50
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: You know? Five nine is? I think most elite golfers

51
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: would tend to be a little taller. I mean, that's

52
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: why most good athletes in pro sports tend not to

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: be small. Now, that doesn't mean you can't be a

54
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: great player and win a lot if you're five ft ten.

55
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: I e Rory, right, But when you look at Scottie Scheffler,

56
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of things going for him. Right.

57
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: He's definitely in this game more than long enough, and

58
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: it feels like he's gotten longer the last couple of years.

59
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: He is arguably one of if not currently you could

60
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: argue the best iron player on tour easily one of them.

61
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: But to me, what separates them? And I've always listened

62
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: what most of us have, and somehow I'm a three handicap,

63
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: I'm playing like an eight or nine right now. My

64
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: short game sucks, like I am just not a guarantee

65
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: anywhere I would say within forty yards, whether I have

66
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: to have an approach shot or chip around the green

67
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: unless it's just really really basic and definitely in the

68
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: sand to get up down. Like most people listening, if

69
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: you're a five handicap, a nine handicap, a twelve handicap,

70
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: I put a wedge in your hand, a pitching wedge

71
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: around the green in your hand, like it's probably less

72
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: than fifty fifty getting up and down. And what made

73
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: Tiger in his peak so awesome. What made Phil and

74
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the two best players in my life

75
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: Phil so great, is you put a wedge in their

76
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: hand in their peak, in their prime, in you know,

77
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: in their twenties and their thirties, they were a fucking magician. Listen,

78
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: I like most people love watching Jordan'speth play because he's

79
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: all over the map sometimes but you get him around

80
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: the green. It's where magic happens. It's honestly, why his

81
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: career that looked like it was falling off a cliff.

82
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: He's clearly gotten the driver and his irons rolling again.

83
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: But why he is always dangerous because of around the green?

84
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: Now putting comes and goes right, That's just the nature

85
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: of the beast. But you watch Scottie Scheffler, he gets

86
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: in these positions. It happened to him last year at Augusta.

87
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: Remember on Sunday when he chipped it in. It happened

88
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: to him Saturday and Sunday. He can be in the

89
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: worst spots, his ball buried in the rough, and not

90
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 1: only does it get up and down sometimes he chipped

91
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: it in. His touch For a taller player like to me,

92
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: DJ developed that as time went on. He never felt

93
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: like it was something I've heard butch Harmon talk about

94
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: this is they really worked on that, like the second

95
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: half of his career when he became a dominant, dominant player,

96
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: like fifteen, sixteen and seventeen. You know, Tiger and Phil

97
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: kind of had that from the jump. It was kind

98
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: of just their natural instincts of playing golf. Now they

99
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: grew up playing in a different era, But Scottie scheffer

100
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: kind of feels like this ultimate blend of the two eras.

101
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: When JT is playing well, he kind of feels like

102
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: that has the power, but then has all the shots

103
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: that would have translated against like Jack and Arnold Palmer

104
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: and Nick Faldo, right and you know, and that era

105
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: of player Freddy Couples. But you give them the modern

106
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: day technology, which we'll get into a second, they can

107
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,119
Speaker 1: hang easily, but they have this other pitch. He just watch.

108
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: A lot of guys don't feel like they have right

109
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: obviously to make it on the PGA Tour unless you're

110
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: like picture Hobblin, you're chipping relative to most high level

111
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: golfers is really good your short game, but there is

112
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: a different level even on tour. And if I had

113
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: to put like five ten thousand dollars up and down

114
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: for my life, Scottie Scheffler would be right up there

115
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: near the top, and given the way he's playing, he

116
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: might be number one. It's honestly why Cam Smith, who

117
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,119
Speaker 1: it sucks he's not around these events, was so fucking

118
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: awesome because his short game, like short games translate what

119
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: are they say in football, run game defense, short game translates.

120
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 1: Most of these guys like when they're humming are sticks

121
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: with you know, nine eight seven six five iron, Like

122
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna hit a lot of greens if they're hidding fairways.

123
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: But it is all over the map when it comes

124
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: to around the green, and Scottie Scheffler time and time

125
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: again feels like one. You know, he gets he makes

126
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: momentum puts. That's part of winning tournaments. But think about

127
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Open or Waste Management Open. It's not even

128
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: in Phoenix, it's in North Scottsdale, which I'm about to

129
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: go doing some golf balls here in a second. He

130
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: misses the sixteenth green on Sunday down in this like

131
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: little one thing TPC does a good job of is

132
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: unlike some of these tournaments where they just have rough

133
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: right around the green. They have a lot of runouts

134
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: and elevated greens and you can get in some weird spots.

135
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: And what did he do? He got up and down,

136
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: And what did Nick Taylor not do? Knock it up

137
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: and down And that was ultimately not going to be

138
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: the difference in the tournament, but that basically ended it

139
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: right there on sixteen. And it feels like winn he

140
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: has to. Scottie Scheffler is getting up and down, and

141
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think you would be crazy to not

142
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: from a gambling perspective, all these majors coming up. You know,

143
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: it's weird and saying over and over like I was

144
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: going to bend a lot on Rory to win the Masters.

145
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: I would probably have if I was a gambling man.

146
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: Assuming Ram is okay, he would WDD. We have no

147
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: clue what that is. And I mentioned this to Sobel

148
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: coming up, if you want to be what the PJA

149
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: Tour can be and should be, and ultimately could you

150
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: know probably already kind of becoming with gambling in football.

151
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: When Patrick Mahomes is injured, not only do we know

152
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: relative what his injury is, the team acknowledges it. Patrick

153
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: acknowledges it. It's well aware. So if you wanted to

154
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: gamble on the Chiefs in the in the Bengal a

155
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: FC championship game or in the Super Bowl, you knew

156
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: that Patrick Mahomes was compromised. Now to what level no

157
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: one actually knew except the team and him personally. But

158
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: you have an idea that he has an ankle injury.

159
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: Yet John Ram, it might be a family issue, which

160
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: I hope it's not. It could be something personal, or

161
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: it could be does something that happened to him, like

162
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: does he have knee pain? Does he have back pain?

163
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: Because it's odd you know in the Dell match play

164
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: in the Masters is going to be really high. Well,

165
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: if he was injured, I wouldn't be as inclined to

166
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: gamble on him, you know. So these are things that

167
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: I think golf needs to do a better job of.

168
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: It's happened to me countless times where I got some

169
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: money on a guy. It's like, oh, Zalatorius's backs fucking

170
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: feeling weird. He just couldn't play well. Oh this guy,

171
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: Daniel Berger's risks messed up. It's like, yeah, I would

172
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: have liked to known that before these guys tee off.

173
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: And again, I don't need the intimate details of the MRI,

174
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: but I do think it's more than fair for us

175
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: the consumer, for us the gambler, to have some acknowledgement.

176
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Is like, just just heads up going into this tournament.

177
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: These three guys are battling. You can just be a

178
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: simple a knee, an elbow, a back, Like, Okay, I'm

179
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: not gonna gamble on him, but doesn't look like we're

180
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: anywhere near close to that, and Scottie Scheffler's rolling, And

181
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: last but not least, I'm not going to get consumed

182
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: in this because it's a long way away, and I

183
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: think the golf media is so close to the sun

184
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: it's it's they can get jaded in this, I don't think.

185
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: And I'm more than the average consumer in terms of

186
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: the amount of golf I just watch as a fan.

187
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: You know, I make money off talking about golf. I

188
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: play a lot of golf. I would say I'm on

189
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: the high end of the golf spectrum for not being

190
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: a true kind of like golf media guy. But I

191
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: think the overreaction to the golf world on like guys

192
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: are hitting it too far? Does it actually matter? I mean, honestly,

193
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: the only thing that should matter is, like, is the

194
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: health of the sport in trouble? And that to me

195
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: is a separate conversation, like are people watching the game?

196
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: Are people not watching the game? Like I went to

197
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: a spring training game and the pitch clock I loved.

198
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: And I'm a you know, a millennial that still loves

199
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: baseball and still watches baseball. But I'm not gonna watch

200
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: game after game after game. That's taken four hours. I

201
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: don't have four hours of my day to allocate seven

202
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: days a week to watching a baseball team, let alone

203
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: just follow the league. That's just too much time. Yet

204
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: I went to a Dodger preseason game and I was

205
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: forty five minutes late. Now, historically, if you go to

206
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: a baseball game in the last twenty years and you're late,

207
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: it might be the second inning, it was the bottom

208
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: of the fifth. Like they're on something. Now, the pace

209
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: of play is really big, and that's important. Now is

210
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: that going to save baseball? Of course nine, But does

211
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: it make it easier for the consumer? Knowing that at

212
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: seven thirty on a Tuesday, on a Thursday, on a Friday,

213
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: when the Giants come on or the Yankees come on,

214
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it going till eleven o'clock at night.

215
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: I know the game is going to end around nine

216
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: thirty ninety five. I can do that, and baseball became

217
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: the opposite. It was like this thing could go five inning.

218
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: That's why I loved when they put a man on

219
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: second in extra innings. Is that the purity of the game. No,

220
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: it's not but the consumer is the reason this thing's

221
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: rolling without the consumer, which is dying now? Are not

222
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: as many people watching golf as they did twenty years ago?

223
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: Or has it always been an niche sport? Like? Are

224
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: the reason? Like, who's actually mad that the ball's going

225
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: too far and you need to roll it back ten percent?

226
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: Is that an ego thing? Is that a course design thing? Well?

227
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit what the course designers think

228
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: I care about? Or do people consume the sport? Does

229
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: the sport feel relevant? Is a talent there? Like? I

230
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: think the variables on this aren't being talked about. Like,

231
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: obviously the manufacturers don't want to mess with it, don't

232
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: blame them, But if they're not hitting it as far,

233
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: does that make for a better tournament? Does that mean

234
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: we're more inclined to have an audience of three million

235
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: go to five? Because if that's the case, then yeah,

236
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: roll the ball back. But are we just rolling the

237
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: ball back because too many guys hit a three hundred

238
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: and twenty eight yards? Because if that's the case, like

239
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: I watched these tournaments feel pretty damn good to me.

240
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: Now does that neutralize some courses around the sport? Of

241
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: course it does, but like part of the deal, right

242
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, one maybe one, maybe two

243
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: guys a team through ninety seven turn out a baseball

244
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: game in the middle of the summer. Every single guy

245
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: on both teams is basically throwing ninety six to one

246
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour. Like things adapt, guys get stronger,

247
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: training changes. I think this is a little overblown because

248
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: I also think we've peaked, like we're never gonna have

249
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: You wouldn't think guys hitting it three hundred and eighty yards.

250
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's really more possible or it's any

251
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: more possible to hit it farther than these guys are

252
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: hitting it now. Kind of is what it is. We've peaked.

253
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: Bryson took it to the limit, and it's not like

254
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: he was kicking everyone's ass, right. I mean, he would

255
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: go to the he would go to Augusta and he

256
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: couldn't remember when he said Parr was sixty seven and

257
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: he struggled to break like seventy five. So this notion

258
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: that the longest hitter is like what do they always

259
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: say about like DJ and Tony Pena was like they

260
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: could hit it farther, but they want to control it

261
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: why hitting fairways is always gonna matter. Now, you could

262
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: make the argument if you know you're in the fairway

263
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: at two one hundred eighty yards and I'm a long

264
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: guy and I'm in the rough at three forty, I

265
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: have a pitching wedge in my hand and you have

266
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: a four iron advantage me, And yeah, but like that's

267
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be advantage with the long hitters. John

268
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: Day when he was hitting at three twenty in nineteen

269
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: ninety two, had an advantage over I bet the majority

270
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: of the tour was hit two hundred and sixty five

271
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: yards two hundred seventy yards. So just part of it

272
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: just doesn't bother me. Now, if you can make the

273
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: argument that it helps the health of the sport, helps

274
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: the popularity of the sport, helps getting more people into it,

275
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: then I'd be all for it. But I have a

276
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: hard time thinking that's the case. The midway point of

277

326
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I want to go back to Aaron Rodgers.

327
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're the greatest dude of all time.

328
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're the greatest quarterback of all time.

329
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: You show up to a golf tournament as a three

330
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: handicap and they say, hey, we're gonna let you play

331
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: as at ten, and you don't correct him on it.

332
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: You are scratched off every list in my book. I'm

333
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: done with that guy. Did you see the clip when

334
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: he won it at Pebble Beach, the pro am Josh

335
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: Allen came up to him. He's like, it must be nice,

336
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, it must be nice cheating your way to

337
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: the championship here. Yeah, he knows it. Keith Mitchell called

338
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: him out too. I was text with Colt knows who's

339
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: doing the CB Yes broadcast. I brought up to him

340
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: on Thursday, like Rogers leading the pro am portion by

341
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: like seven shots right now and he's getting way too many.

342
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, everyone's starting to talk a little bit.

343
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: And within twenty four hours he's like, now it's like

344
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: the biggest story. Like it's no one's talking about anything

345
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: besides that. How do you show up as a three end?

346
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: You get I get it. Look, mistakes are made and

347
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: they put down your handicap and it's like, oh, I'm

348
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: getting ten. You kind of laugh about it. Goo, that

349
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: would be great, and then you go up to the

350
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: tournament director and you go, hey, cross those seven dots

351
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: off my card. I can't take them because that's not

352
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: my handicap. That's how golf works. You'll try to cheat

353
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: your way to the top. Give me a break. Aaron Rodgers,

354
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: he goes part for the course with this guy. Have

355
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: you ever, in all your years around the game partnet

356
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Bertie for the course for him? Yeah? Threw you know,

357
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: in all your years and some of these proams, especially

358
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: you know Pebble, have you seen some pro athletes, not

359
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: the celebrities, but some of the quarterbacks. Maybe some of

360
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: the baseball players manipulate that bad boy a little bit.

361
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: I call a dude out here, Yes, yes, yes, all right.

362
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,239
Speaker 1: So this was Travelers Championship. Let's say it was at

363
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: golf child time about ten years ago, maybe eleven years ago.

364
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: Bill Murray is in a group playing with for whatever reason,

365
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why, you've got Bill Murray, one of

366
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: the greatest comedian actors of all time, and he's playing

367
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: with JB. Holmes, who doesn't talk a whole lot. But

368
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: in any case, it's them. And they've got maybe Kevin Ali,

369
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: who was the Yukon coach, played in the NBA for

370
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: Brell who of course played on some of those old

371
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: Jordan teams with the Bulls, and he was a Yukon

372
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: guy as well. So they've got the Yukon connection. And

373
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: at one point Scotty who was a good player. And

374
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever played with him, but I've,

375
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: like you know, been in the same tournaments and same

376
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: courses within like you know, we're next to each other

377
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: on the range, talked and stuff like that. Well, he

378
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: makes a I think on the third or fourth hole,

379
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: fourth hole, he makes them Bartie, it's a three for

380
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: two and I'm like three for two, and I'll start

381
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: looking at the card and I'm like, how many is

382
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: he getting? Actually turned out was three for one like

383
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: he was. He was getting like twenty five shots that day,

384
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: and he's like a three handicap or a four handicap.

385
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: Like it was very blatant. I'm like, so you guys think, yeah,

386
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: it shot at winning this thing. I mean, give me

387
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: a break. And so, yes, I have seen seen it

388
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: once before. I don't think it's that uncommon. You know,

389
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: make sure that it's not. You know, the guy who's

390
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: the junior account executive that somehow slid into a ProAm

391
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: spot goes out there and wins. Now they want the

392
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: big names to win. They want making the paper the

393
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: next day. Yeah. You know what's funny is I looked

394
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: up at the TV at about Scottie was probably a

395
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: whole eight or nine on Sunday, and I really, you know,

396
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good tournament. And then Scottie Scheffler, if

397
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: he was given some shots to these guys who would

398
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: have had uh, you know, from from a gambling standpoint,

399
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: how does it not make sense to have some exposure

400
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: to him? Moving forward? In every major and every major,

401
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, big elevated event moving forward. Yeah, you're right

402
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: about that, except two weeks ago we would have said

403
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: the exact same thing about John Ram and so things

404
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: move quickly him as well as well. Okay, so if

405
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: we're like, hey, we're getting the Masters, it's in twenty

406
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: three days, I think something I got twenty two days. Hey,

407
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: the Masters is coming up. All right, Well I'm gonna

408
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: bet wrong and I'm gonna bet Scheffler. Well, you don't

409
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of room left on your card

410
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: if you're betting two of the favorites right there. So

411
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: I get it, they're both really good. Throw Rory in

412
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: the mix, and we sort of have a big three

413
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know how long that's going to persist.

414
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised John if, like by June or

415
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: July we have a big four and Justin Thomas is

416
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: part of it, or a big five, Colin Morikawa, Big six,

417
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Cantley. But right now there are definitely three players

418
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: who are head and shoulders above the others. And you

419
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: could certainly make the case that in the big event,

420
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler has risen to the occasion more so than

421
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: his fellow competitors, and quite honestly, the bats take from

422
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: me here first of all, two of them. First of all,

423
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: the fact that he's won now six times in his

424
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: last twenty seven starts, dating back thirteen months, but on

425
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: five different golf courses that are like as different as

426
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: they come. It's not like he's won, you know, five

427
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: of the six times in Florida or five of the

428
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: six on the West Coast. It's like he's all over

429
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: the place, on different golf courses, different conditions. So that

430
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: part is really impressive. And the second part of this

431
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: is the fact that he's taken all the air out

432
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: of these golf tournaments. So it's not like, you know, wow,

433
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: really dramatic fun final round and you know when the

434
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: wheel stops spinning at the end of it, Scottie Scheffler

435
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: wound up on top. This was as we went to

436
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: the back nine. If you're laying on your couch watching

437
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: a home you might as well close your eyes and

438
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: take a little nap. We need a nickname for Scottie.

439
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: Its something like, you know, the sleeper hold, or the

440
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: snooze button or something like that, because he is quite

441
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: literally putting golf fans to sleep. Did it at the

442
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: Masters last year, where he had such a big lead

443
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: he four putted the final green and laughed his way

444
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: through it and didn't really care. They did it at

445
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: Phoenix a month ago, where all right, I got a

446
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: little tight down the stretch, but then he kind of

447
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: gave everybody the old Heisman stiff arm and kept him away.

448
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: And they did it again this past week where I

449
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: made five birdies in a row from eight through twelve,

450
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: and essentially the thing was over by then unless he

451
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: put three balls in the water at seventeen, which was

452
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: never gonna happen. We knew who was gonna win with

453
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: two hours left in the tournament. Well, one thing that

454
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: makes him dangerous, you know, Rory's wedges can be hit

455
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: or miss. Rob's done a better job emotionally of getting

456
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: control of himself. Scottie's temperament is pretty elite, and obviously

457
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: did he led the tour last year in Green's a regulation.

458
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: If he's hitting fairways. We know he's a great iron

459
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: player and his short game is the best of that group.

460
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: So it just if he is straight off the tea,

461
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: he's just gonna be hard. To beat that week. I

462
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: don't care if he's playing Rom or me or you. Right,

463
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: that is essentially golf right there. You hit it long,

464
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: you hit it pretty straight, your irons are the best

465
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: in the world. Your wedge game is terrific, and you

466
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: make a lot of puns like there's nothing else. You

467
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: go to the mental side of things and you can

468
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: make the case. And I don't know that I would

469
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: necessary only make this case. I've heard it though a

470
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: lot that there's so much weighing on Rory McElroy with

471
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: you know, all the PGA Tour discussions and being asked

472
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: about live and being part of the board, and like

473
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot that Rory is dealing with these days.

474
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: As for John Ram, I don't know what was going on.

475
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: I never would have thought John Ram has a little

476
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: bit of a tummy ache right before his tea time

477
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: and takes off before the second round when he's not

478
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: way out of it or anything like that. There's something

479
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: a little I'm not saying it's fishy. I'm just saying

480
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: I would like to know the entire story of that,

481
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: because that's like a Jason Day thing, like, hey, my

482
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: tummy's a little a little a little weird right now,

483
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm just gonna take off and not

484
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: play in the fifth biggest event of the year. John

485
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: ram Leaves. There's something to the mindset of Scotty, the

486
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: mental side of Scotty, which is he's got a really great,

487
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: supportive family, gets along really well with his wife, isn't

488
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: motivated by money or anything like that, and really likes

489
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: playing golf. That's it. It's just the the distractions. You

490
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: can see that there are no distractions for him. He's

491
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: having fun and it helps him climb these leaderboards. One

492
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: quick thing on Rom. You know, obviously you know we

493
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: talk gambling a lot professionally, you're all in on it.

494
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: I am a gambler. The PGA Tour, if they're gonna

495
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: be this deep in with gambling, Rom's a good example,

496
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: right what you have to announce, like if he has

497
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: a pull back or you know, something happened to his knee,

498
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: Like even if it's just kind of generic, the NFL

499
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: does that, and now it's like, am I just gonna

500
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: go into the Masters and he's got a back muscle

501
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: problem or he's got a shoulder issue. Very plausible, and

502
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna get out if Rom and his

503
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: camp do not want it out and they have to

504
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: figure out a way to like at least have some

505
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: generic lower body right question mark or or something, because

506
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, this happens a lot with golfers. All of

507
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: a sudden, a guy who's a you know, a betting

508
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: favorite play shitty and then after he's like, well my

509
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: wrist has been bothering me or I've been having it,

510
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: You're like, well, it would have been nice to know

511
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: before I put one hundred dollars on yet twenty five

512
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: to one. I've been down this road with PGA tour executives.

513
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: It's just John, It's just not going to happen anytime soon.

514
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you are. You're asking the players and even

515
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: more so the player managers who have never said a

516
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: true word in their lives, to come out and be

517
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: as forthright as possible. And most of them, I shouldn't

518
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: say all of them, but most of them are just

519
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: not going to do that. But why do they so well,

520
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: why do they care? Like, what's you know, a guy

521
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: get if I roll an ankle in football roll an ankle,

522
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: who cares like, no one's blaming you. We're not gonna

523
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: call you like a pus because of it. It's just

524
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: you're a human. I think they don't want to be

525
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: asked about it over and over afterwards. Now I have

526
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: no idea with rom. Look, it could be his shoulder hurt,

527
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: and then you know, I don't want to be asked

528
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: about my shoulder. A stomach issue is a good way

529
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: of Like two weeks later when he plays again, like,

530
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: how's your stomach? Yeah, I don't know, it's fine. The

531
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: next day I didn't even can't remember it. But if

532
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: it's a shoulder, it's a knee, it's an elbow, it's

533
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: a risk. All of a sudden, we're asking that question

534
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: over and over and guy, I can say, you know what,

535
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: just say it's my stomach. So on, I have to

536
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: deal with all the questions. But maybe it's a family thing.

537
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it's, you know, something happened with one of his kids,

538
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he has to leave. But

539
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to say something's going on with one

540
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: of my kids, because then, all of a sudden, then

541
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: he becomes all the speculation and news about it. So

542
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: he puts it on himself, which is admirable and honorable.

543
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: I suppose but we're just not going to get the

544
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: true story from these guys anytime soon. I wish we would.

545
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: And again, there's something weird about it. He was on

546
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: the putting green not long before the tea time. It's

547
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: not like he was at his hotel room going I

548
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: can't leave the room right now. I feel so badly.

549
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: He was at the golf course, he was on the

550
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: putting green, he was practicing, and then he left. It's

551
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: very very strange to me. That's bizarre. Okay, before we

552
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: dive into some thoughts on this week's tournament, big story

553
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: broke well. I got up checked social media and it's

554
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: now this had been simmering for a long time. Explained

555
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: to the people the rollback situation and how it differentiates.

556
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily a PGA tour thing, it's a USGA thing,

557
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: and just kind of the semantics behind that. Yeah, So

558
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: essentially the USGA and RNA have voted to roll back

559
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: the golf ball. I believe it starts in twenty twenty six.

560
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's still a lot up in the air.

561
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: I think they're looking at a ball that would go

562
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: ten percent less further than the current ball, and maybe

563
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: it'll be used in PGA Tour competitions. PGA Tour can

564
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: always say we don't like that rule. We're gonna make

565
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: a local rule and let you use whatever you want.

566
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: I think there's more problems that come with this than solutions,

567
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: from everything from players trying to compete with two different

568
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: balls throughout the year and figure out which one works,

569
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: to manufacturers now having to manufacture new balls to get

570
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: these players working with them too. I don't know the

571
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: whole solution. The whole reason for doing this is that,

572
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, the golf courses, some of them are becoming

573
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: slightly obsolete because the players hit it so far. I

574
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: understand that there are other better solutions. I've been an

575
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: advocate for a long time, John, Why do we have

576
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: fourteen clubs in the bag. That's just something that somebody

577
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: came up with. That's the number they came up with

578
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: a hundred years ago, and we all carry fourteen clubs.

579
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: You know what, I would like to see a PGA

580
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: Tour player playing with seven clubs in his bag, and

581
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, when they have one fifty three

582
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: with a quartering wind and they've kind of hit it

583
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: one fifty seven, they know exactly that that's a full

584
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: nine iron, and they hit their shot and it goes

585
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: to the exact right distance. All of a sudden, he

586
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: hit seven clubs in the bag. You're like, I don't

587
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: have a club for this. I'm gonna have to give

588
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: it a little trajectory. I'm gonna have to try to

589
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: figure this out. The game would be way more entertaining

590
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: than simply saying, hey, you can't hit your ball as

591
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: far as you were before. Oh, by the way, rolling

592
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: back the golf ball is just more of an advance

593
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: for the longer hitters. So there's that too. So just

594
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: like last week the players that was under the umbrella

595
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: of the USGA rules is that the way it works.

596
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: Every event is under the umbrella of USGA rules, But

597
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour can institute a local rule it's called

598
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: and essentially overrule the USGA rules. Does that ever happen

599
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: on the tour? Yes, there's been like very but like

600
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: very small, like not like hey today, we're gonna let you,

601
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, throw your ball down the fairway. Yeah, lift

602
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: tween in place even though it hasn't rained, you know. Yeah,

603
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean there's been local rules in place that are

604
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: very like sort of you know, unless you're a diehard

605
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: golf nerd, you'd be like, who cares, that's not a

606
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: big deal. But you know, for the golf nerds in US,

607
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of one in particular, and it's

608
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: not coming to my mind right now, but yeah, it

609
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: has happened before. I would imagine if you ask most

610
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: casual golf fans or people that watch the PGA Tour,

611
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: they don't really care and this is not something they're

612
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: pounding the table for now. I'm sitting on my couch

613
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: watching Minwu Lee pound a driving iron two hundred and

614
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: eighty yards, and you know, it's not like he won

615
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: the tournament, but still it was a pretty big advantage

616
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: to just hit this bad boy straight to eighty. Hell,

617
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: I'd take that with my driver right now. So I

618
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: do understand some of the arguments that are coming from

619
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 1: the other side. Seven clubs in the bag, you might

620
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: be able to hit that driving iron two ninety, but

621
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: he might not have any wedges, So what's he gonna

622
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: do from there? I'm telling you this is a good

623
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: solution to this. No one wants to listen to it,

624
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: but you scale back the number of clubs. I personally,

625
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: I have like eleven clubs of the bag, and two

626
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: of them I don't think I ever use. It's not

627
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: that hard to scale it back, and all of a sudden,

628
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: these guys become much less precise by hitting the exact

629
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: numbers they need to hit all the time. You want to,

630
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: you want to throw driver in the bag. You want

631
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: to hit it all over the ballpark and hit it

632
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,479
Speaker 1: three thirty, go ahead. But when you don't have the

633
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: right club after you've hit it there, it's gonna cause

634
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: some trouble. I would love to see that didn't fill

635
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, play around with two drivers

636
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: in his bag, played a few different tournaments two drivers,

637
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: no drivers, a sort of half driver. What do you

638
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: call the mini driver? That's right. I always thought that

639
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: should get the actress mini driver to do the marketing

640
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: for that. But yeah, I was snooping around before we

641
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: dive into Vals Bar Live. Yeah, I saw some odds.

642
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: Bryson is fifty five to one, and it's like, you know,

643
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: obviously he hasn't played well in a while. These odds

644
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: are outrageous. I mean, he's like, I might sprinkle a little.

645
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: This guy's one on the PG he's a major champion

646
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Yeah, that's big number. You

647
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: know what. You caught me because I honestly have not

648
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: looked at the live odds yet for this week. There's

649
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: some money to be made there. I will say, I

650
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: do believe that if you're a live fan, you've been

651
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: watching live events, you've been seeing how these guys playing out.

652
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: Granted they're not playing every single week, so it's tough

653
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: to get a read on, you know, the weekend week

654
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: out performance level. But if you're paying attention, you're looking

655
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: at the odds, I think you'd probably do something pretty well.

656
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: We had Jeff Sherman on the radio show last week.

657
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: He's at golf Odds on Twitter. He's the VP of

658
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: risk for super Book Sports, and I asked him about

659
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: the handle for PGA Tour events compared with live, and

660
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: he said Live is only getting about a fifth of

661
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: the handle. I go, whoa, I go, that's huge. I

662
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: thought live would be like one five hundredth of the

663
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: handle of PJA Tour events, but he said, no, there's

664
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 1: still people betting on it here and there, so that

665
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: was actually way more than I thought it would have been.

666
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: My logic on Bryson just moving forward as long as

667
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: these odds are kind of crazy, will strictly be weirdo whatever.

668
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: I know he tries and works hard, you know, and

669
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: he you know, he will attempt to get better and

670
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: get back some of these guys. Yeah, I wouldn't feel

671
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: great like Louis if you told me hadn't picked up

672
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: a club in three weeks, believe you. But Bryson, I

673
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: know he's trying and he takes pride in attempting to

674
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: win and be relevant on this tour. I just think

675
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: these odds, but on Bryson d Chambo, if they're like

676
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: this guy was like under twenty to one on PJA

677
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: tour events and majors a year ago, two years a

678
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: great one. I would say the same thing about Patrick Reid. Now.

679
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: I know his odds are probably much shorter, but yeah, yeah,

680
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: I don't care. If he's playing in your you know,

681
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: we're playing a NASA for twenty bucks, He's gonna go

682
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: all out and try to beat you because he's just

683
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: very competitive like that, and his game translates especially with

684
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: the shortcam Kay valspar who do you like? I'm going

685
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: Jordan this week and I've got reasons for this, as

686
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: we've seen the entire Jordan Spief experience over the past

687
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: few weeks. Look, it can be really really good, and

688
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: they can get ugly in a hurry. We're seeing full

689
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: ceilings and low floors within a nine hole stretch whenever

690
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: he plays, and it's really fun to watch his most

691
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: entertaining player out there to watch right now because you

692
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get. But I look at him,

693
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: as I wrote in the preview this week, John, I

694
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: look at him like a race car driver who's essentially,

695
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: over the last couple of months been like, hey, let's

696
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: get this baby up as fast as we can get

697
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: it and see what happens if we crash and burn,

698
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: so be it. And I was talking with this, talking

699
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: about this with his caddie, Michael Greller a couple of

700
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I said, you know, all the top

701
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 1: players say they want their games to peak four times

702
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: a year, that being the major championships, of course, and

703
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: then they get to like mid February and it's like,

704
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: oh my god, what's wrong with my game? And they

705
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: start fixing stuff because they're not playing as well as

706
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: they Like I said, you don't have to agree with me, Michael,

707
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: but I feel like Jordan has been more patient over

708
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: the last few years. Doesn't always mean success, but he's

709
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: been more patient getting to the point where he wants

710
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: his game to peak. And he agreed with that assessment.

711
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, he does a really good job with that.

712
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: And the way I look at that is that we

713
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't overrate what Jordan has done over the first couple

714
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: of months. You know. I think that he understands. Look, yeah,

715
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: he'd love to win Pebble. He'd love to go win

716
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: at bay Hill where he was up there, but really

717
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: this is all about getting his game in shape for

718
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: the major championships. I do think that he understands now

719
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: he can step on the gas and things can get

720
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: really good, really quickly, but he also has to dial

721
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: it back a few notches as well. This is last

722
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: match player or excuse me, last stroke play event before

723
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: the Masters. He'll play the match play next week. I

724
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: think that he wants to get things dialed into where

725
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: he's comfortable with his game to go out there and

726
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: win another major championship. I like him a lot this week.

727
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: It's a short number. You mentioned a good field. JT.

728
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Burns fits Fleetwood. There's a massive drop off after

729
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: that top tier, and I would be surprised if we

730
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: don't see one of these top tier guys win this week.

731
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: One thing, I was speaking in the Master's odds this morning,

732
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously the top three guys are under

733
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: ten to one. But you know, Jordan is a guy.

734
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: He's definitely been better this year than JT. Fenale, a

735
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: lot of the other top Ryder Cup type guys. But

736
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: maybe Max would be right up there. But for the Masters,

737
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, if he's right around twenty to one, it

738
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: feels especially if he plays well up until then, because

739
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: he has had like two out of four rounds of

740
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: these big tournaments he's looked awesome. He just hasn't been

741
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: able to kind of keep it together. You know, Scheffler,

742
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: rom Rory, people are gonna hammer those three guys, I

743
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: think for the Masters, But you would have to say Jordan,

744
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: you know a guy with a lot of course history there, right,

745
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: I might put a pretty early wager on him, just

746
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: because his odds are pretty pretty tasty. Yeah, if you'd

747
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: asked me three months ago, and you probably did ask

748
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: me this three months ago, but I was on Phenwe

749
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: coming into the year, I thought this would beg He's

750
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: been okay now, I mean he hasn't been bad, just

751
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: he hasn't been great. And well, one thing I always

752
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: say about the Masters is that you don't find your

753
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: game driving down Magnolia Lane. Either got it or you don't,

754
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't show up that week, and so I want

755
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: guys that have played well over the course of the

756
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: first three months of the year before they get there.

757
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: Jordan's certainly in the mix. Patrick Cantley has been sort

758
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 1: of sneakily playing very decent golf over the last couple

759
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: of months. He's the guy that I'm looking at as well. Yeah,

760
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean we talked last week and you admitted that

761
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,959
Speaker 1: Max is better than you thought. I mean, he's over

762
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: a four round period, he's really kind of separating himself.

763
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: You know. Hovelin has been doing this a little longer

764
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: than Max at the highest level, but Max is really

765
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about my future wager on him

766
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: in the US Open, just because I think that numbers.

767
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: I think I got him at thirty six to one,

768
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: that number will be in the twenties by then. Jeff

769
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: Sherman again, when we spoke of them, said Max will

770
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: be the fourth favorite by the time we get to

771
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: US Open week, and it might be like fifteen to

772
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: one or shorter. I mean, like literally everyone in the

773
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: entire golf betting industry is on Max Homa for the

774
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: US Open. And that's usually a bad news, you know.

775
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: Usually when it's like, hey, the public's on on this

776
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: one guy, usually it doesn't happen. But we saw it

777
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: last year at the country club in Brookline. Everybody on

778
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: Matt Fitzpatrick. Oh he won the USAM here. You figure

779
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 1: it's not gonna Lightning's not gonna strike twice, and then

780
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: he goes out and wins again, and everybody was on it.

781
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: So I could certainly see Max winning that one. Like

782
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: you said, specifically, on this tournament, there's obviously a drop

783
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: off of the top guys if you don't want to

784
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: take you know, whether it's Jordan, I couldn't take JT.

785
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: I've wasted too much more any on him this year

786
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: a Fleetwood. If it's Patrick, you know, JT, post him

787
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: some win equity. He's got a pretty long number. Sam

788
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: Ryder has played well this year. Long number. Now is

789
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: he gonna win? You know? Then there's like the Damon's

790
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: and the Woodlands. It's hard. You're kind of shooting fishing

791
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: a barrel taking some of these guys in tournaments like this,

792
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 1: you know, and these tournaments are going to become pretty

793
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: in vogue moving forward, like these type fields. Right, So,

794
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: how what's the strategy on betting him if you don't

795
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: want to take a guy like twelve to one, because

796
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: if Jordan has a bad Thursday, you're kind of fucked,

797
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, no doubt. Um, I would look even

798
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: further down the board. I mean that look I love. Yeah,

799
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to Axay. Justin Saw is playing some

800
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: really good golf. I went and looked t de Green.

801
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: We say it every week. T Green is support if

802
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: if you suck it hitting driver and suck it hitting

803
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: your irons, this just In You're probably not gonna win

804
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: a golf tournament. Justin Saw his game strokes T Green.

805
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: In his last seven he's been like over a stroke

806
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: and a half per around T Degree and four of

807
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: his last five, I mean like really really hitting it

808
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: at an elite level. That said, his number right now

809
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: is like thirty five to one for a guy that's

810
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: never really sniffed a serious title contention. I'm not sure

811
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: that I want to go there at thirty five to one,

812
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: but I really liked the guy's game. Maybe maybe a

813
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: top five, top ten, play DFS lineups, stuff like that,

814
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: and then yeah, you mentioned ay, I'll get to Acas

815
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: ninety to one, which I think is a great number.

816
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: Second place in Puerto Rico a few weeks ago. This

817
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: is a kid who and now has special temporary membership.

818
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: He's got that weightlifted from his shoulder. He can play

819
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: a little more freeer. This kid, who made his PGA

820
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: Tour debut at this golf tournament four years ago, one

821
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: of my favorite question and answer sessions ever because in

822
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: the second question ever of him being a professional, he

823
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: was asked, how will you handle adversity? And a responded,

824
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: can you tell me what adversity is like literally and

825
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: figuratively had never seen adversity know what the word meant,

826
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: which I think is fantastic. He has dealt with a

827
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: little adversity in his first four years as a pro.

828
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: But this kid we've all known for a long time

829
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: has a tremendous amount of talent. He's gonna be very good,

830
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: So I like him and then look, if you're going

831
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 1: after kids who are really good and looking for the future,

832
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: this kid, Ludwig Aberg. He is from Sweden. He plays it.

833
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: I believe Texas Tech number one ranked amateur in the world.

834
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: I'm telling you he is really, really good. We saw

835
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: it a little bit at bay Hill. He was in

836
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: contention going into the weekend and didn't fall that far,

837
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: finished in twenty fourth place. Looking at amateur win a

838
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: PGA Tour event. If he is, it's gonna be one

839
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: like this where there's only a handful of superstars, and

840
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, his game is probably as good as half

841
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour players out there right now. So maybe

842
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: are there rules if you win it, you're like, actually,

843
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm a pro now paying my money. I'm not going

844
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: back to school, or you got to declare that before

845
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: you tee off on Thursday. You know, you think of

846
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: the nil stuff now that they'd be able to give

847
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: him a nice big check and he'd be able to

848
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: claim something. But I don't don't. Is ACA's lady still

849
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: caddying for him, or is he as he moved on

850
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: to a to an actual caddy. I don't think so.

851
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: Acal he might have a lot of ladies. Now he

852
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: took his shirt off three times playing the Honda, he

853
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: might have more ladies. You know, listen, we learned Hovelin

854
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: may never win. But if you just took a strategy

855
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: of taking a thousand dollars any big tournament he played it,

856
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: putting it five hundred on top five, five hundred on

857
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: top ten, you would make a lot of money. Because

858
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: that guy's floor. For a guy that's probably not gonna

859
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: win many times, he is going to just six, always, third, ice, fourth.

860
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: I mean, that guy is a cash machine. I know.

861
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: I just I'm still there's something about Hovelin that I'm

862
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 1: not quite there on him yet. I liked him last

863
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: week and he played really well. I'm not quite there

864
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: talking to him. I don't get the sense that like

865
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: he's Scottie Scheffler, you go, man, That dude loves golfing.

866
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: I guarantee. After he won on Sunday night, Monday morning,

867
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: he flew back home and was at the range by

868
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: noon and was working on stuff and it was just

869
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,479
Speaker 1: hitting balled because he loves playing golf. I'm not sure

870
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: I get that same sense from Victor Hoblin. That is

871
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: then that said he is wildly talented. He's shown up

872
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: on all these leader boards. Yeah, I look, I've been

873
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: wrong before. Maybe he, you know, loves it more than

874
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: I think. Maybe he practices and burns and desires for

875
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: it way more than I think. But I don't know.

876
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: There's just something that's quite just just missing a little

877
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: bit from Victor that I'd like to see. Well. I

878
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 1: think his major record actually wasn't very good up until

879
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: last year at the Open when he played with Rory.

880
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: But Hatton's another guy that at the Major's for top

881
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: tens is going to feel like a guy with some

882
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: momentum that you know, his game translates because he's he

883
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: was he was rolling on Sunday. It was weird to

884
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: see him out there smiling, wasn't it. I know, it

885
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 1: was like I want I want Hatting on my TV

886
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: throwing clubs in the water and giving his caddy the

887
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: finger and yelling at people. I want to see Hatton

888
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: smiling around that place. But no, he was absolutely on fire.

889
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: Seven birdies on the back nine and one of the

890
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: par five's he part. I mean that could have been

891
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: eight under. I mean that could have been something really

892
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: really special for Hatting there. But tie the low score

893
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: ever on the back nine at Sawgrass And yeah, you're right,

894
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: this guy who plays he plays hard golf courses really well. Yeah,

895
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: hay Hill. The last few years, I almost feel like

896
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: with Hatton, he either really loves a golf course or

897
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: really really hates a golf course. He hates as before

898
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: I before I bet on him. I'd like to go

899
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: find Hatton on the range somewhere and be like, so,

900
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: what do you think of this golf course? Because his

901
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,959
Speaker 1: answer will tell you everything you need to know about

902
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: whether you should play him or not. Well, So have

903
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: a good week, don't want don't spend too much time

904
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 1: watching the CW over the weekend, and uh, I'll talk

905
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: to you soon, thanks buddy. Okay, let's get to the

906
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: mail bag at golopod. At golopod, fire in those dms

907
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: on Instagram at golopod as the Instagram handle, give it

908
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 1: a follow and I'll throw up content that as well

909
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: as well. And fire in those dms. Start with Broderick.

910
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't get to play as much as I want to,

911
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: but playing only a couple times a month, I'm around

912
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: of fifteen. The biggest part of my game that needs

913
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: improvement is my chipping. Is there anything you do or

914
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: that you've heard that could help me give something to

915
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: think the next time I play or work out. Thanks

916
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: when I chip, I think about making a cut motion,

917
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: kind of take it a little more outside and cut it,

918
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: just because I've heard Jordan's speed talk about it and

919
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: he said that Phil told him he does that. I

920
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: would say out of a one to ten, I'm about

921
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: a three chipper, and that might be high. So I

922
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm terrible. I need a lesson just with

923
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: the wedges. Maybe I need to get new wedges. I

924
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: think that's what That's probably the beginning. I need some

925
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 1: new wedges and then I just need a chipping lesson.

926
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: So I'm the wrong guy to ask. I would go

927
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: to YouTube. The one great part about YouTube is you

928
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: can go find sweet pros like just type in Tiger

929
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: Woods on chipping, Phil Mickelson on chipping, Scottie Scheffler, justin

930
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: Thomas Jordan Speet on chipping. Tony Finale. I saw him

931
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 1: do this thing in the bunker, basically like don't break

932
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: your wrists and just kind of rock the baby. And

933
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: I've done that and it's just helped me you know,

934
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm not a great sand player, It's just helped me

935
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: if I'm like, you know, have a relatively easier with

936
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: some green to use coming out of the sand, have

937
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: a chance to get up and down. All because I

938
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: watched a YouTube clip. So my advice YouTube. Love your

939
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: golf picks for the tour events. I tell you every

940
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: time because I feel like you know what you're talking about.

941
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: What do you think of matchup betting in golf? Even

942
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,399
Speaker 1: odds of some of the top players going head to head.

943
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: Most people like those type gambling a lot more like

944
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: what I'm doing is not working lately. I'm spreading like

945
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: four or five hundred dollars the last couple of tournaments. Now,

946
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: granted I won, I hit a home a bet, but

947
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: probably since I'm probably down a g and I've just

948
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: been betting on winners. You know, I pick guys to

949
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: get top ten, but I always get enticed to not

950
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: do that. Honestly, that's where the money is. Top tens,

951
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: in top twenties and matchups or groups. Picking a winner

952
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: is so difficult unless you just gamble on rom and

953
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: Scottie and Rory, then you'll be all right. But picking

954
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: these random guys, is becoming a very very difficult proposition.

955
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: Would you rather go to the Masters once or have

956
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: the best ticket on whole sixteen at Waste Management every

957
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: year for the rest of your life. Personally, I would

958
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: choose the Masters. Agree, Like, I've been drunk a million times,

959
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: you know, I could go to Like, I don't need

960
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: to go there to have a good time in life,

961
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 1: though I would like to go hopefully meet enough people

962
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: here and get in the scene and have the access

963
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: there eventually. But like, I would much rather go to

964
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: the Masters. I think it's more anyone can go to

965
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: Waste Management. Literally anybody you could just pay. You can't

966
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: not anyone. Like, how many people have you met that

967
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: have been like, yeah, I've been to the Masters. I

968
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 1: don't know that many people, And the ones that I

969
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: have met are like, it's pretty incredible. Though. I know

970
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: this one guy in the golf industry, former player at

971
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: least in college, who's a straight face over some beers.

972
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: He's been to Augusta a lot again, works in the business,

973
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: been to all these courses, said the course is overrated.

974
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 1: Not sure if you're a fan of them, but aisinger

975
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: is a douche, would be better without half of the

976
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: Rocker innuendos hatting with twenty nine on the back nine unreal. Yeah,

977
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I I think golf has really really struggled that.

978
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: And I think football battles is sometimes just because you

979
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: were a huge name like Faldo or Aisinger, And I

980
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: don't I think Aisinger is better than Faldo was pretty bad.

981
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: He just was elite player. But like Joe Bontana was

982
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: bad at broadcasting games, Reggie Miller, Chris Webber awful calling

983
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: games right, like, you don't need to be Impleman's good,

984
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen's good, like not everyone has to be the

985
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: most famous player at the sport to be good on television, right.

986
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: It's an entertainment product, especially golf. Johnny Miller, all time

987
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: great player, pretty damn good at broadcasting. Why he would

988
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: talk some shit? You know, I need you to be

989
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: able to blast guys. But I also Hazinger's old. I'm

990
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: part of it, the rocker stuff. I mean, this guy's winded.

991
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: How old is Azinger? Early sixties? I do think some youth,

992
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, having Cold around, Smiley around, even Imilman feels younger,

993
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: just feels a little more. I don't know, just some

994
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: fresh blood. Trevor Imilman's good Hey John. Question for the bag.

995
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: Do you think pass rounds at pass courses impact how

996
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: players see it in their current round, regardless of its

997
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: past result was positive or negative, or do you think

998
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: they at fresh Also? JT seems to be off lately.

999
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 1: What do you think You think he's still worth betting on? Well.

1000
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 1: I think there are certain tournaments where course history really matters.

1001
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: Obviously Augusta plays a part. I think now you're seeing

1002
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: it with like Scottie Scheffler and ram Homa riv. I

1003
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: think certain guys get really comfortable at certain venues shots.

1004
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: Think about you as a golfer, you could be a

1005
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: ten handicap. Certain shots fit your eye at whatever course

1006
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: you play, and then you can go to another course.

1007
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: You're like, god, damn, the course is cool, but I

1008
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: don't like the shot. Like my driver has been way off.

1009
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: These people took me to Masa Country Club. It's where

1010
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: Joel Damon plays. He loves it. It's actually a pretty

1011
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 1: hard course off the tee because there are these shoots.

1012
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 1: You have to be very you know how, like Augusta

1013
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: looks on television that shoot on eighteen there was a

1014
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: lot of that at MESA and if if you're not

1015
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: feeling confident with your driver, especially if you're playing the

1016
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: back teas as I was with these guys, it was

1017
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: very difficult. So that course it's cool course, like Damon

1018
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 1: loves it. He told that story to pardon my take.

1019
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: I think he shot fifty eight when he was drunk

1020
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: out there. It's a sweet track if you're hitting the

1021
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: ball straight. If you're not, it'll kick your ass. So

1022
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: I think certain courses for certain horses make a lot

1023
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: of sense. Certain guys obviously transcend Tiger filling his prime,

1024
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: you know when DJ's rolling, Like these guys can play anywhere.

1025
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler can play anywhere, right in theory? Can Rory

1026
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,240
Speaker 1: play anywhere? You know? Colin Moore Cowa can't play anywhere

1027
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: these tough courses. Like he's not having a lot of success.

1028
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: I think with JT as a guy that's I've probably

1029
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,439
Speaker 1: put three or four hundred dollars on him this year

1030
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: to win different tournaments. So I watch a lot of

1031
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: his featured groups. His putting is atrocious. I mean it's

1032
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: really really bad. I have no faith on him. And

1033
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: he's a guy like Scottie. When he's playing well, one

1034
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: separating factor for him is a short game is elite.

1035
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 1: He is so good with the wedges around the green.

1036
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: He's so good at his flighted wedges. I've heard home

1037
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: to talk about this, how he can like do like

1038
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: a sixty percent swing from like ninety yards with like

1039
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: a gap wedge and keep it like he's got all

1040
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: these shots. Yet when I was watching them, where the

1041
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: hell they just play other players? I mean, he hits

1042
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: them on Friday, some of the worst shots I've ever

1043
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: seen him hit. You know, I think golf sometimes you

1044
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 1: can lose a little confidence, you can lose a little momentum.

1045
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't mean as a player right now, like I've

1046
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: lost all momentum in my swing. I kind of feel lost,

1047
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: and it's a weird feeling. But it can happen to

1048
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: a pro or it can happen to a twenty handicap.

1049
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: Long time listener, do you know about the urban legend

1050
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 1: regarding weeds at Masters? Is it true that if you

1051
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: find any weeds anywhere on the course, they give you

1052
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars? I have not heard that, but it's believable,

1053
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, I you know, obviously I think, I don't

1054
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: know if it's an urban legend. Maybe they just they paint, right,

1055
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 1: They paint the sand, don't they They paint you know,

1056
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: any grass that's dead. They take their course pretty seriously.

1057
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: There an avid gambler and fanatic of sports encompassing the NFL,

1058
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: NCAA football PGA Tour. I am curious to learn about

1059
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: the facets of gambling talk you do. I think the

1060
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: capitalization on the phenomenon of TikTok is imperative for growth.

1061
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 1: I do adding on a personal level of teams and

1062
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: athletes and was hoping to lean your picks for this week.

1063
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: You send them here, all send them back my edits

1064
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 1: broadcasting the line you take. Want a chance to prove

1065
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: a facet of the industry lacking, I really think can

1066
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: propel you to an already great and relatable podcast. I

1067
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: hear you. You know I isn't you know? I've invested

1068
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: a lot in a stock called Snapchat. I don't use it,

1069
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: but I'm basically shorting TikTok because I think it's gonna

1070
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 1: get banned. But I hear you, there is huge room

1071
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: for growth in a lot of areas. I would say

1072
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: YouTube as well. YouTube shorts. I need to get better

1073
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: at that. It is a weakness. Like if I was

1074
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: a pitcher, I don't have those pitches having success but

1075
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: probably leaving some on the table. As my guy see

1076
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: his profile, let's follow you back. I'm open to give

1077
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 1: anyone an opportunity. What's the situation with Rory and his driver?

1078
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: I saw him say his old one wouldn't pass the test.

1079
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: Does he mean that literally? Is there a PGA tour

1080
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 1: test your clubs have to pass to be able to

1081
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: use on tour? Is there a sponsor obligation for why

1082
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: he had to change? What's the deal? Well, the way

1083
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: that I thought watching him explain it was yes, your

1084
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: clubs have to be able to pass tests. Right, It's

1085
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: like at any point in time they can grab your club.

1086
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: But to me, that's the other way, like you can't

1087
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: be quirking it. They're certain, you know, like a quirk bat,

1088
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: even though it would be different in golf, but there

1089
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: are regulations to play in tournaments that you have to

1090
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: abide by. The way I thought Rory described it was

1091
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: basically like his old driver kind of died, right, he

1092
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 1: used it for so long it was kind of dead,

1093
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: and because tailor made is putting out new products. They're

1094
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 1: not gonna let him because they're paying him a lot

1095
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: of money, right, I mean, you do business with people,

1096
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 1: whether it's lived in the sadis or whether it's tailor made,

1097
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: and you take lots of cash. I think it's fair

1098
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 1: to say that Rory's the highest paid tailor made athlete.

1099
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: They have things they want you to do because ultimately

1100
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: they use the tour players. And now you know what

1101
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: ultimately I aspire to have here like barstool Has and

1102
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 1: you know the Bobs sports has now and the good

1103
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: good guys. They use those guys to funnel clubs to

1104
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: you guys. And so Rory, they want everyone playing that

1105
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: self the driver. So I didn't. I just saw briefly

1106
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: the clip and I read the quotes the way I

1107
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: thought he described it was basically his driver's kind of dead.

1108
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 1: He needed a new one, and they just gave him

1109
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: the brand new driver that they just release the whatever

1110
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: stealth too. And they're not going to give him the

1111
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: old version of the driver to let him play on tour,

1112
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: which seems a little crazy because the better he does,

1113
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 1: who cares? But this is the business model they're in.

1114
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, you you know, if he wanted to like,

1115
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: quote unquote quirk his driver up, it wouldn't pass the tests,

1116
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,760
Speaker 1: so that they do have. Those came from the football

1117
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: side of the podcast, But you've gotten me to love golf.

1118
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: Question about the schedule of the podcast as we get

1119
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: deeper into golf season, would you potentially have two golf

1120
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: podcasts a week, say, one to recap the weekend on

1121
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: Monday and one to preview the next tournament. Love the

1122
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: show and would love more golf content. You know, I've

1123
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: thought about this. I definitely will have one after the

1124
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: Major's one thing I might do, like and I should

1125
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: have done last week, and this is what I talked

1126
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: about leaving stuff from the table. I actually just do

1127
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: a YouTube reaction, put it up on YouTube on John

1128
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: Middlecoff's YouTube page. That'd be pretty easy. But you know,

1129
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: I probably need to get a team around me to

1130
00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: do some of these extra projects because I have some

1131
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: aspirations of doing some golf videos. I got a tripod,

1132
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: so we're just we're in the infancy. You know. It's like,

1133
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, when a guy moves to Nashville to follow

1134
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: a country music career, it's kind of you know, it's

1135
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: part of my move here. This is the Nashville of golf,

1136
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: and obviously I'm not ever going to be a tour golfer,

1137
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: but we can make some money playing golf in some

1138
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: different avenues, so that that was definitely the goal. The

1139
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: long term goal here is to kind of build a

1140
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: golf I'm not even exactly sure, but something around golf,

1141
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: because I love it a lot and I play a

1142
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: lot of it. Did you decide if you were coming

1143
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: to live in Tucson right now? I would be leaning no,

1144
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: just because free agency is busy. This week. I might

1145
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: play golf Friday or Saturday. I got my girlfriend's families coming.

1146
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: Next week. We'll be out and about at spring training games.

1147
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: I have to drive down there spend the night. You know.

1148
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: It's just if it was in Scottsdale, it'd be a

1149
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: no brainer. Do I want to drive two hours, rent

1150
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 1: a hotel because you did have to get wasted, but

1151
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: it's still I would say there's a fifteen, ten, twenty

1152
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: percent range somewhere in there that I do it spur

1153
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: of the moment, come Saturday morning. It would be Saturday

1154
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: because I might put a little action. As I told

1155
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: Sobell on bryceon d Shambo fifty five to one, So

1156
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: have a good week. Fire in those d MS audios,

1157
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: appreciate everybody see it.
