They might 80 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: be nearing a two hundred and fifty million dollar investment. 81 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 3: Might be a nearing yes, multiple written commitments from blue 82 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 3: chip investment firms that would serve as anchor investors to 83 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 3: support the league. Quote on the cusp of landing two 84 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty million, Can I. 85 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 2: Give a can I give a little unsubstantiated rumor here 86 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: so that we that we we can kind of level 87 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: set where we're at today on Live versus maybe a 88 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: couple of months ago Bryson Bryson unsubstantiated here, Bryson asked 89 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: for five hundred million dollars from Live for his next contract. 90 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: As this one expires this year, to re up with 91 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: the Saudis. Then the Saudis he. 92 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: Was offered two hundred and when he denied, the piff 93 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 2: was quickly out. So just just listen, put the this 94 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 2: in context. Here was it two or two fifty half 95 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: of its it might have been fish fifty something in there. 96 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 2: Let's put this in context. Just a couple of months ago, 97 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: a single player was offered basically the sum of this money. 98 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: He said, No, Sadi's are quickly out of the whole business. 99 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: Now this league saving total is two fifty. I mean, 100 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 2: I have a hard time believing Bryson will be going 101 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: back there. 102 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 3: We're not talking like you know a year ago. We're 103 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 3: talking like this. This is a very rapid timeline. February March, 104 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 3: Saudi's out April. Now we're July, and two fifty might 105 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: be the saving grace and. 106 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 4: That's what one player was offered a few months ago. 107 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 3: Well, I'm yeah, they're just trying to keep alive what 108 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: they can, right, maybe pay vendors have it seems like 109 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: Michigan is unlikely regardless of what they land or this 110 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: report comes to fruition in the New York Post. I 111 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: think was it a forty billion dollar event? 112 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: So you don't have to just flush a fit of 113 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: an investment down the tubes and with live Michigan. 114 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 3: I mean that has to be some of the calculation 115 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 3: that's ongoing, right, I mean that's like, well, why are 116 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 3: we just ramming our head against the wall, and when like, 117 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 3: don't we need the kind of cowboy up here and 118 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: circle the wagons on the longer term view instead of 119 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: pissing away a portion of it in wherever New Jersey, Indianapolis, Michigan. 120 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: If someone were to invest, I would just say that 121 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: they cannot be investing under the pretense of what we 122 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 2: have now is working. 123 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so it's going to be tangibly different. Yeah, 124 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 3: on the dollars and cents. It's It's what I would 125 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 3: find interesting. An interesting exercise would be going to all 126 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 3: the players who've committed that say this is working, and 127 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 3: this is great, and it's changing the global GDP of golf, 128 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: as Bryson once called it. I think you should go 129 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 3: to Greg Norman. Knock on his door, like you know 130 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 3: how he once tried to deliver a letter to Tiger. 131 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: He could walk around, knock on his door, be like, 132 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 3: would you put any of your money? You're a very 133 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: successful businessman between the apparel and the worldwide course development 134 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: business and all these things, mister Norman, would you invest 135 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 3: in Scott O'Neill's pitch at this moment? I think that 136 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 3: would be a fun exercise. Mister Rob, you've you have 137 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 3: a nice bank account. Now, Bryson, you have a nice 138 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 3: would you invest in this belief in this product and 139 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 3: the current state of it. I think that would be 140 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 3: a fun exercise. I'm just curious who would do you know, 141 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: so and so bot you know who considers this to 142 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 3: be the next thing, the next great I you know, 143 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: there's gonna be an interesting exercise of live continues so long, 144 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: everyone's people's problem with it was where the money came from? Right, 145 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 3: and this is a sports washing exercise. What if it 146 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 3: continues with quote unquote cleaner money. I don't know are 147 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 3: you now? Are you now the moralists that you claim? Like? 148 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 3: I don't. The PGA tour was We were critical of 149 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 3: the PGA tour for years. Need to be disrupted. It 150 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 3: was fat and happy, and you know, if your issue 151 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 3: was with the money from live, what is your next 152 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 3: issue if the money is quote unquote cleaner and anyways, 153 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: just all sorts of questions could be asked in many 154 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 3: different parties, but that's not first Summer Friday, Friday hours, 155 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 3: anything else from Detroit. 156 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: I think any of those guys would would invest No, 157 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: the current product. No, do you think they've been asked 158 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: to invest in the current product? 159 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 3: Possibly? 160 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: I feel like I could see Scott O'Neill being like, 161 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: what do you guys think you want to invest? 162 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 3: You want to get this rolling? I mean not by all, 163 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 3: but from several accounts, O'Neill seems like a total clown. 164 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 3: I don't know, though I can't speak to it personally. 165 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 3: People are very out on O'Neill. So he's not the 166 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: right guy. But it's a tough situation regardless of who's 167 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: the pop chair. Can we can we have an honest conversation, 168 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 3: that's all we do.

No, 174 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: you kind of inherited a complete mess. 175 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see that that that New York Post report 176 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: comes to fruition. They have delayed the official announcement canceling Michigan. 177 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 3: This is this is not a definitive thing from the 178 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 3: horse's mouth yet. So uh, PJ. Did you watch any 179 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 3: of the commentary free stream on ESPN plus PJ Tour 180 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 3: Live this morning? 181 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 5: Very little, a little bit. 182 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 6: The caddies in the players are not micd up, so 183 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 6: it's kind of just a lot of it. They're not like, 184 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 6: they're not wearing mics. You can catch like the hot 185 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 6: mic on the G box. 186 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 5: But it's it's a little I think it's close. 187 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 6: I I just think there's it leaves a little bit 188 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 6: to be uh desired. I I do think I provided 189 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 6: a great moment where Keegan Bradley was seemingly attempted to 190 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 6: be punked by the crowd on the fifth hole. 191 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 3: Of that was that real? They were there some jokers 192 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 3: up by the green trying to prank the guys on 193 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 3: the tee that you made an ace. 194 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 6: Like a nice shot to like I don't know ten 195 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 6: or so feet and the place just goes nuts to 196 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 6: the point where like Keegan is on the t box 197 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 6: jumping to see if the ball is on the green 198 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 6: or not, and they like people lose it. So that's 199 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 6: something that I don't know that we would have gotten 200 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 6: had it been talked over from the PGA Tour Live studios, 201 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 6: But I do I think it's something different on a 202 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 6: on a week where. 203 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 3: It feels like an over correction. Do we really need 204 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 3: a total silence? Don't we want some I mean justice 205 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 3: for Danny Chopps and these other people on PGA Tour Live. 206 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 3: I don't want to see them silenced, But it feels 207 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 3: like nothing. Can we have someone providing some storytelling, narrative 208 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 3: arc of the round or insight on the out. 209 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: Have we gotten word that this was was intentional? Or 210 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 2: did like somebody call in sick, because like I feel 211 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: like I've noticed it just. 212 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 3: Like popped up today and it was like. 213 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 6: Oh, they sent out they sent out a media release. 214 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 6: It could have been last night, he could have been 215 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 6: Tuesday night. Every day is the same at this point. 216 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 6: But there was like a little bit of an announcement 217 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 6: being like, hey, this is happening, but like what if 218 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 6: they just couldn't get the truck there in time? 219 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 5: Like that's what I'm wondering. 220 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 2: Do you think like somebody called off and they couldn't 221 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 2: get a replacement in and that's that's what actually happened. 222 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 3: Or is the cost saving maneuver. Do we think that, well, 223 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 3: this event's not going to exist in a year. The 224 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 3: private equity boys are like, oh, let's save you know, 225 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 3: six figures here or there. 226 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 6: Just well people people always say they want to hear 227 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 6: more caddy player conversations, so why don't. 228 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 3: We But they're not miked up.

We've been in 617 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,919 Speaker 3: the same fantasy league. He is not a golf fan, 618 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 3: doesn't play and doesn't follow the sport, so he's operating 619 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 3: his book, doesn't know anything about golf This year, I've 620 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 3: placed a fair amount of top ten and top twenty 621 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 3: bets on the Fitzpatrick brothers.

I would agree with that. 657 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 3: That's the life you've chosen. Yeah, so next one white tea, Intent, 658 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 3: blue tea Reality, forty four to three kids, no interest 659 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 3: in fighting, PJ. If I've read any of these and 660 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 3: I'm misremembering, holler at me at our club. Eleven players 661 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,240 Speaker 3: who are friends participating in an individual season lawn best 662 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 3: ball competition Individual season lawn best Ball competition. The objective 663 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 3: is to collectively record a BIRDI er eagle on every 664 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 3: hole on the course by the year's end. There's a 665 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 3: little money involved, but far more importantly pride pettiness. In 666 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 3: a Google spreadsheet. One of the few hard and fast rules, 667 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 3: berdies only count if they're made from the blue or 668 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 3: gold teased. Anything from the whites is ineligible, So they 669 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 3: have to birdie or eagle every hole by the year's end. Okay. Recently, 670 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 3: one participant brought out gas and elected to play the 671 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,359 Speaker 3: White teas. Naturally, he proceeded to birdie the hardest part 672 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 3: through in the property, at two hundred and forty two 673 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,919 Speaker 3: yard Brute, with a massively sloped green that routinely goes 674 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 3: entire seasons without producing a bertie from some members of 675 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 3: the pool. The complication on this particular day, the Blue 676 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 3: and White team markers on that hole were essentially on 677 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 3: top of each other. This is highly unusual and only 678 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 3: true on that hole. The rest of his round was 679 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:43,800 Speaker 3: played from the White teas. He now argues that while 680 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 3: he intended to play the whites, he effectively played the 681 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 3: Blues on this hole because the markers were co located 682 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 3: that day. Do we enforce the rule as written and 683 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 3: reject the birdie because he chose to play the white 684 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 3: teas that day, or do we allow it because, through 685 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 3: an act of course set up his white tea bird 686 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 3: he was functionally identical to a blue tea Birdie Andy, 687 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 3: he chose to play the whites all all day, which 688 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 3: would disqualify him if. 689 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 2: The white and blue are put together. I think it counts. 690 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 2: It's not in the spirit of the competition. It's not 691 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 2: he played. Yes, he played the court. 692 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 3: I think it counts by a stroke of good luck, 693 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 3: similar to your buddy not recognizing the Fitzpatricks are two 694 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 3: different people. You just gotta kind of got a nice 695 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 3: little loophole. I think it counts even though you were 696 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 3: choosing to play the whites that day, you played the 697 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 3: blues as they were essentially. 698 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I like struggle with this too, because like, 699 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 2: what if the blues are just way up one day 700 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,839 Speaker 2: like this, like on another hole. 701 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 3: I don't know. 702 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 2: I think you have to just live it for the 703 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 2: for the sanctity of this whole thing. 704 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 3: I don't know. 705 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe now I'm talking myself into it not be accounting. 706 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 3: But if you played the Blues that day. You would 707 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 3: have played from the same spot, right, but he was tricky. 708 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 3: On record is going with the whites, So you know 709 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 3: you didn't play the Blues, even though it effectively seemed 710 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 3: like the same. It's a tough situation. I think you'd 711 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 3: give it to him. Yeah, give it to him. Uh, 712 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 3: flight benefits, Gentlemen, twenty six, no kids, no interest in fighting? 713 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 3: What a glorious time for you, my friend, twenty six, 714 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,439 Speaker 3: no kids, no interest in fighting. I have a very 715 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 3: fortunate problem. I'm an Air Force veteran that played D 716 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 3: one golf. Thank you for your service. Air forces have 717 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 3: had to play D one golf after returning home from 718 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,919 Speaker 3: a deployment to the Middle East. Now that my time 719 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,760 Speaker 3: playing D one golf is over, I'm an airline pilot. 720 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 3: This poses me with a fantastic developed dilemma. I have 721 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 3: flight benefits, but all my t have to be solo. Similarly, 722 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 3: I'm still pretty junior at the airline, so I'm not 723 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 3: exactly flushed with cash. More than willing to play a 724 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,479 Speaker 3: little bit of pay a little bit for good golf. 725 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 3: Four hundred dollars for pasta tiempo is worth it to me. 726 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 3: But I'm not able to go out and spend thousands 727 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 3: at some resort. Last I only get two to four 728 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,760 Speaker 3: days off together at a time. I have a feeling 729 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 3: your answer would be to go somewhere in Scotland. However, 730 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 3: traveling from Denver, where I'm based, to Scotland takes a 731 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 3: day and of itself, and I'm not sure a one 732 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 3: and a half days of travel for two and a half 733 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 3: days of golf is worth it, although I'm willing to 734 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 3: hear that argument. My question to you, you had flight 735 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 3: benefits on American Delta, United, Southwest, Breeze and Sun Country, 736 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 3: with no wife or kids to attend to, where would 737 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 3: you recommend going on your long weekends to play golf? 738 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 3: I try to go to one to two trips a month. God, 739 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 3: this guy has it good with flight benefits. One to 740 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 3: two trips a month. For example, July will consist of 741 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:03,479 Speaker 3: Cape Arundle, George Wright, Yale and Westchester. Uh, where would 742 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 3: you go long weekends two to four I mean, this 743 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,439 Speaker 3: is this is a big question. World's you oyster here 744 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 3: Denver based flight benefits say two to four days and 745 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 3: not a ton of cash, But oh man, this is great. 746 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 3: I would go. 747 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 2: I mean a I'd get in the car from Denver, 748 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 2: drive through the Nebraska Sandhills. Uh, there's a lot of 749 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 2: like public golf that's super cheap there and super cool. 750 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 3: Matt Ruche's on our website. 751 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 2: If you go to the Friday dot com there there 752 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,959 Speaker 2: are guides.

Garrett 759 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 2: Morrison came on fried Egg Pod and talked about that 760 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 2: maybe two years ago. I would check that out. I 761 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:18,840 Speaker 2: would go, I mean easy one is Grand Rapids. I 762 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 2: would go Traverse City.

That was one. I would hit up Wisconsin, Wisconsin, 767 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 3: fly to Milwaukee and bomb around there right or fly 768 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 3: to Chicago. 769 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 2: You know. 770 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 3: What's wrong with flying Milwaukee. 771 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 2: No, if you better off fly in Milwaukee, it's easier to 772 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 2: get in and out of that airport. 773 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 3: Let's see where else would I go?

We've done this trip eleven years in 834 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 3: a row, and I never bring my clubs, at the 835 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,000 Speaker 3: exception of once when I got to play Arcadia Buffs, 836 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,240 Speaker 3: which was playing in advance key point to the story. 837 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,439 Speaker 3: I play enough golf at home, and it's a tight 838 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 3: squeeze with other luggage, so I don't mind leaving the 839 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 3: clubs behind for a couple of weeks.

The next day, my friend texted me saying 847 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 3: he had an opening in his group at Crystal Downs 848 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 3: the following morning early and asked if I wanted to join. 849 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 3: I did not have my clubs and was not expecting 850 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 3: an invitation, as we didn't know we would run into 851 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 3: each other. I was very appreciative but said no, as 852 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,719 Speaker 3: I didn't want to play with rental clubs. He was 853 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 3: totally cool and understood. Now every time we come to Michigan, 854 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 3: I think about declining the invitation to play such a 855 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,960 Speaker 3: special golf course and wonder if I did the right thing, 856 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,279 Speaker 3: as I may never have the chance again. I work 857 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 3: with my dad and when I told him the story jokingly, 858 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 3: I think said he should fire me for such an offense. 859 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 3: What would you have done in my shoes? We're not 860 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,480 Speaker 3: well equipped to answer this question anymore. I'm sorry, Like 861 00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 3: this isn't a child and say where we can't relate? 862 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,680 Speaker 3: Like have we come from incredible privilege at this point 863 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 3: in our careers of being asked to play nice golf 864 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 3: courses in your shoes? Uh? I probably would have taken 865 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,319 Speaker 3: the chance to play Crystal Downs. I wouldn't have turned 866 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,440 Speaker 3: it down just because you had to play with rental clubs, right, 867 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,280 Speaker 3: I don't think, like now, if you're juggling a situation 868 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 3: with your family vacation, you gotta do the calculation on 869 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:04,320 Speaker 3: the run. What's the family vacation situation? Will this opportunity 870 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 3: present itself frequently ever again? And rental clubs? If it 871 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 3: was just renal clubs, I would have gone. And it 872 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,759 Speaker 3: sounds like that's all it was, go and play the 873 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,479 Speaker 3: golf course with rentald clubs and have a great day 874 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,759 Speaker 3: and your wife and family are okay with it. I 875 00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,920 Speaker 3: would have taken the invitation to play. That's what you 876 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:25,200 Speaker 3: should have done. Yeah, yeah, I think. 877 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 2: I would have done the same I would have I 878 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 2: probably would have gone and played, not to make you 879 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 2: feel bad, but at the same time, like I don't 880 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 2: know what you had planned, what you were doing the 881 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 2: day you got invited, like if you were going out 882 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 2: on a boat with your family, Like I you know, 883 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,759 Speaker 2: I get it, you know, Like that's the hard thing 884 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:46,600 Speaker 2: is like family vacation times special, Like you know, you 885 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,840 Speaker 2: don't always want to be darting off. I don't know 886 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,920 Speaker 2: how much, how how intense your job is, like to 887 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 2: the point of like how much time you get with 888 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,200 Speaker 2: your family, and maybe maybe vacations are like, hey, this 889 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 2: is gonna be like this is where I fill up 890 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,120 Speaker 2: the tank of like really quality time with my kids, 891 00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 2: you know.

It was painful to not 898 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 3: take clubs and remove that as a part of the trip, 899 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 3: but I was not adding that to the luggage circus, 900 00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 3: and I snuck out the Formby Ladies Club like fifty 901 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 3: three hundred yard and early Saturday morning and played these 902 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,640 Speaker 3: Like the guys in the shop were essentially like these 903 00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,320 Speaker 3: rentals were all out, but we have this one absolutely 904 00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 3: awful set that you can just take.

As much as it pains you 909 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 3: to go to that part of the world that far 910 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,359 Speaker 3: and not bring it so but I would just make 911 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 3: a day of it with the Reynolds as you can 912 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 3: and enjoy yourself.

I was caddying for a guest at 1015 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 3: a club in Chicago Suburbs happened to be a member 1016 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 3: at the number one course in the state, CGC. We 1017 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 3: connected well throughout the round, and at the end of 1018 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,000 Speaker 3: our round, he asked me for my phone number and 1019 00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,400 Speaker 3: asked if I played the course before, I was assuming 1020 00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,280 Speaker 3: an invite be headed my way. The dilemma is I've 1021 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,240 Speaker 3: been fortunate enough to play once, but the greens were 1022 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,880 Speaker 3: one week post oration aerration and not at their notorious speeds, 1023 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 3: so it'd say I did not get the full experience. 1024 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,880 Speaker 3: I told the story and exchange numbers, and I ultimately 1025 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,200 Speaker 3: never got texted. This leads me to my question, if 1026 00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 3: you were putting my shoes, would you lie about playing 1027 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 3: the course before and thinking that you would have a 1028 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,480 Speaker 3: better chance of being invited to play the course where 1029 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 3: invites are hard to come by, or would you have 1030 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,840 Speaker 3: done the same as me and told the truth looking 1031 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 3: forward to hearing what you think I should have done. 1032 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,880 Speaker 3: I think this is an easy answer. No you don't. 1033 00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,880 Speaker 3: Just related to the Mackenzie on the Crystal Downs offer. 1034 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,240 Speaker 3: Just tell the truth. I've played it, it was rated, 1035 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,200 Speaker 3: I played it. I've played it. I've been there. I 1036 00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:50,280 Speaker 3: think you lie? What? Just be a normal person. I 1037 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,480 Speaker 3: just this is just I wanted to tie this back 1038 00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 3: to our least conversation. If you're a good person, you're 1039 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 3: always tell the truth. You know good things will come round. 1040 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 3: So you did the right I think by telling the 1041 00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 3: truth instead of trying to fudget. Okay, that does it 1042 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,480 Speaker 3: for this Friday episode of The Shotgun Start. Thank you 1043 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,600 Speaker 3: all for listening.

Getting word of some potential disturbing 1045 00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:23,640 Speaker 3: Keegan drop at Detroit stamping around in the high stuff, 1046 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 3: but we'll see.
