Speaker 2: those people for making a dream weekend come true for me.

40
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: My dad and my brother, and we wanted to recap

41
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: the weekend for you. Me and my dad did because

42
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: this is a place that we grew up watching on

43
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: our televisions. Golf is is my favorite sport. The Masters

44
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: is my favorite sporting event. It's the favorite my favorite

45
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: event on the sports calendar, and it's a place we

46
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: always wanted to go together. And when my mom passed

47
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: away just over a year ago, I made a promise

48
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: to myself that me, my dad, and my brother would

49
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: do things like what we just did at Augusta and

50
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: we were able to do it. And so what I

51
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: wanted to do was recap the weekend with my father

52
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: because I am telling you guys, if I went by myself,

53
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: or I went with the show, or I went with

54
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: a couple of friends, still would have been fun. It

55
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: was made a million times better by experiencing that for

56
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: the first time with my dad and with my brother.

57
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: It was the absolute best. And so my dad and

58
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: I wanted to recap it for you, and so here

59
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: it is me and Papa Guts. So Dad, I figured

60
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: here as we recapped the weekend, we had a tremendous

61
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: time at Augusta National. We were there Thursday and Friday.

62
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: For the first two rounds. You and I went for

63
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: the first round. Eric, my brother, your oldest son, he

64
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: joined us for Friday the second round. We had a blast.

65
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: So I want to recap it with your dad, because

66
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: we really did. It was dream come true type stuff

67
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: for all three of them us. But I also want

68
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: to kind of let the listener know, the audience know.

69
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: So before we start talking about the weekend and all

70
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: the great stuff that happened over the weekend, let's give

71
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: the audience an idea of why this weekend was so

72
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: important to us. And I think the logical place to

73
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: start is with you, Dad. What made you fall in

74
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: love with golf? What made you fall in love with

75
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 2: that tournament? In particular?

76
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: I started playing golf probably in the early sixties, and

77
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: at that time CBS was not covering golf as extensively

78
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: as they were now, but they did cover the Masters.

79
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: But Dad back then, But Dad back then, correct me

80
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong, Like when you and I were watching

81
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: it together growing up, we were only getting the back

82
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: nine on Sunday. Correct, Yes, that.

83
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: Was what had happened. I was going to say when

84
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: I first started, John, it was only thirteen to eighteen.

85
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 3: Then they kept expanding it and they went to back

86
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: nine and then finally they went you know, we're full

87
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: eighteen holes, right. So what I liked about it was

88
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: the continuity of it year to year. As you watched

89
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 3: it every year, you got to learn the course and

90
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: see the course on TV, which is a lot different

91
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: than the other majors because they switched every year. So

92
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: it sort of like became a home away from home

93
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: for a weekend.

94
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: I did, and so like that, going back, I'm just

95
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: trying to go back to where, to a place where

96
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: the audience will kind of understand how important this is.

97
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: How long have we been watching the Masters together? And

98
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: how important was it for you for us to be

99
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: watching the Masters together?

100
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 3: I'd say late sixties that we made it into a

101
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: weekend affair.

102
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: For you, not for me and Eric, but for you, yes.

103
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 3: Well for me and my wife, Patty, your mother yeap

104
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: used to know on that Friday, on that Saturday and

105
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: Sunday not to make any plans because I was going

106
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: to be planted and you'll know what this means on

107
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 3: the Green couch, Yes, for two whole days. Then they

108
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 3: expanded it. The TV coverage to Thursday and Friday. And

109
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 3: fortunately for me, I didn't have an office to have

110
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: to go into, so I used to watch it on

111
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 3: Thursday and Friday as well.

112
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: Right, I think mom kinda that was interesting because Mom

113
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: liked the weekend for no other reason. Then she knew

114
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: she didn't have to deal with us for the entire weekend.

115
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: Is that fair?

116
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: Well, that's for sure. And I think she also because

117
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: you guys were teenagers. You're only five years apart or

118
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: four years apart, and you would, you know, teenagers being teenagers,

119
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: it was hard to get us all together. You guys

120
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: were running around doing your thing, and she always knew

121
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: on this weekend, Saturday and Sunday that we would all

122
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: be together in the on the green couch.

123
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say every Master's weekend, you know, since

124
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: at least for me and I'm forty nine now, going

125
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: back to like I guess, the early eighties, I remember

126
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: the three of us would make a point. Now, Eric

127
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: went to college eighty six. I went to college four

128
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: years later. But I think, as I think, from right

129
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: up until Eric left college, I remember us watching that

130
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: tournament in some shape, form or fashion every single year.

131
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: Is that? Is that accurate.

132
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: Oh, that's true. I first started watching it with Eric, yep,

133
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: and then you came into the picture as far as

134
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: your interest in it, you saw our interest in it

135
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: and you're interest in sports in general and golf. Yeah,

136
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: it just became a weekend for us to bond. Even

137
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: though over the years we separated, you know, going, you

138
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: know this, you know this into places that were not

139
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: geographically near New York, and we always as the years

140
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: ensued and we weren't together, we always were able, you know,

141
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: we were texting quite a lot with each other.

142
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: That's the interesting part for me. We loved it initially

143
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: because you loved it, and we loved it initially because

144
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: you told us how great the tournament was, and so

145
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: we trusted you when it came to all things sports

146
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: at that time. And then we got older and sort

147
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: of the form our own opinions on stuff. But that

148
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: was the original reason we loved it. And then I

149
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: realized this is something that was going to bond us,

150
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: keep us together, keep us talking. And you made a

151
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,479
Speaker 2: great point because even as life drew us apart geographically,

152
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: meeting Eric was up in college. I went to college,

153
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: and then later on Eric got married, had his own family.

154
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: I got married him down here in Florida, had my

155
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: own family. Even as we even as life drew us

156
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: apart geographically, this was the one weekend of year you

157
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: could bank on the fact that we would all communicate,

158
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: regardless of what was going on in our lives, regardless

159
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 2: of where we were geographically, you could thank that this

160
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: weekend was a weekend that we were going to speak

161
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: no matter what. Is that fair?

162
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: It's very fair. It's very true. And it made your

163
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: mother very happy us being in communication, even though we

164
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: weren't around each other, Eric with his family, You with

165
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: your family in Florida, and me at our place in

166
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: New York. She was very delighted. Yeah, that we were

167
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 3: in constant communication, either chatting or most normally texting each

168
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: other and encouraging a particular play or which we all liked.

169
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll go into those players that we loved. Yeah,

170
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: and you know, she and I loved it, and you

171
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: guys loved it.

172
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: I think Mom just loved it that because the three

173
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: of us loved us, loved it, and it kept us talking,

174
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: and it kept us together, and it kept us bonded.

175
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: I think that Mom didn't like golf. She didn't like

176
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: the tournament. She cared about the tournament.

177
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: I think the words you know of the Masters. She

178
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: eventually learned it was a go tournament, but.

179
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: She did like that it kept us talking, so we've

180
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: there's no doubt, and she would have loved. Uh. She

181
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: would have loved what we did this past weekend. And

182
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: we'll get to that in just a second. But this

183
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: is an event we've always wanted to go to. Life

184
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: got in the way.

185
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

186
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 2: And then when Mom passed away over a year ago.

187
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: I promised myself that me, you and Eric would would

188
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 2: do stuff like this. So for me, Dad, I think

189
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: the audience would enjoy this because I know I was

190
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: super emotional walking into that place on Thursday. Describe for

191
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: me and the audience your feelings walking into Augussa for

192
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: the first time with me on Thursday. A place that

193
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: you've seen on TV, an event that you love, a

194
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: place you've always wanted to go to. So this is

195
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: your first time. You're going in on Thursday, You're walking

196
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: in with one of your songs. Your other son will

197
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: get there on Thursday afternoon. We'll go to round two together.

198
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: But describe your feelings walking in that first day with me, Well.

199
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: John, I think you know I've always referred to Augusta

200
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: as hollow ground of golf. And when we walked in

201
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 3: and we walked through the turnstile or a checkpoint, and

202
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 3: you started walking down the paths and the first thing

203
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: you see is the practice range, and you know, it

204
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 3: just I got very emotional. It just was something that

205
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: I had always wanted to see. I felt familiar with

206
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 3: it only through television, and to be actually seeing it

207
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: and be able to do a three sixty turn and

208
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 3: look at everything was quite something. And then, as you know,

209
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 3: on Thursday, you and I chose to walk the course

210
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: and there were certain things that I wanted to see,

211
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: and you you went with me because basically you wanted

212
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 3: to see him too.

213
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 2: Oh, I wanted to see all of it that I

214
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: wanted to see, all eighteen holes. That's what we did

215
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: on Thursday. It was less about watching the golf for

216
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: us on Thursday and more about seeing.

217
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 3: The actual Absolutely, it was getting more of a feel

218
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: for the place for Augusta.

219
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: What surprised you the most about it, Dad, because I

220
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: don't think on television for me, you know, it's hilly.

221
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: You don't realize it's that hilly. That was the thing

222
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: that surprised me the most.

223
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the first thing I think I said to

224
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 3: you when we got to I think we probably got

225
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 3: to the second The first hole we walked through, and

226
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 3: then the second hole we got to the green and

227
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 3: I couldn't really, I couldn't imagine how big a drop

228
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 3: there was from when the players are hitting into the green.

229
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: The hills were much steeper than television allows you to see.

230
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 2: But it's as pristine as you thought it would be. Right,

231
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: it was perfect.

232
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, everything was foreseene. I mean they had to

233
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: run a golf tournament. Everything was top shlf.

234
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: I'm not sure we did it the right way on Thursday, Like,

235
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 2: what do you think like we did that. I'm telling you,

236
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 2: I don't recall a single shot of golf on Thursday.

237
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 2: I just remember what because the course will draw you

238
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: right down to amen corner, like I had to see

239
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: that with my own eyes, and then you wanted to

240
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: see fifteen and sixteen. We spent some time there. I'm

241
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 2: not certain if we did it right on Thursday.

242
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: I think we did. I think we corrected on Friday.

243
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: We did what we did wrong on Thursday.

244
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: But I mean we need that hold on, I'll cut

245
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: you all Fursday. I think we needed Thursday to do

246
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: Friday correctly.

247
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 3: We didn't do anything wrong on Thursday. We just got

248
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: a feel for the contours of the course. Greens, we walked,

249
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 3: we saw Raymond Corner. We weren't sitting in a grandstand,

250
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: so you know, I mean we saw a couple of shots,

251
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 3: but we didn't concentrate on the uh on the players

252
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 3: as much. You know, we were always aware of where

253
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: Tiger was because he teed off in the morning on

254
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: Thursday and you could hear it. And yes, you could

255
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 3: hear it, yes, and you know, so you know, we're

256
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: always aware. But I think the way we did a

257
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 3: Thursday to get a feel for the course basically more

258
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 3: the back nine than the front nine. Uh yeah, go ahead,

259
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: and and and that enabled us to do what we

260
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: did on Friday.

261
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: Yep. And we'll get to Friday in just a second.

262
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: But Dad described for me. First off, I did tell

263
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: the story on Monday Show with Dan that we saw

264
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: Rob Manfred Thursday during his round and you made Rob

265
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: Manford's remember there he was wearing the green coat he

266
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: was he was standing right next to us. At Amen Corner,

267
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: and you may correctly pointed out that it was opening

268
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: day and the commissioner probably should be attending to baseball

269
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: and not the opening round of the Masters. I thought

270
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: that was a very fun observation by you.

271
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: Well, I'm a traditionalist when it comes to sports, right,

272
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: you know, pretty conservative, not outrageous, And I'm looking at

273
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: Manford and I'm saying to myself, this is a bad

274
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: look on opening day baseball. And he's here in the

275
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: Masters with his green jacket, and I'm sure he's enjoying himself.

276
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: But then I realized that we found out a little

277
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 3: bit later, and I said it to you. My guess

278
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 3: is that Atlanta Braves are opening at home and he

279
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: could be in Atlanta, which I believe he was for

280
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: the home game, you know, for the night game that opened.

281
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: So Augusta is about two and a half hours away

282
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: from Atlanta. Not only was and I believe he was there, Dad,

283
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: but he's still like, I've had time to think about

284
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: this now, and I think Atlanta has a new ballpark,

285
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: so the commissioner had to be there. I don't care, like,

286
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: let me say, you don't need to say it. This

287
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: is what I do. For a living Rob Manford on

288
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: Opening Day should be attending the opening day, not the Masters.

289
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I don't care where he was on Thursday night.

290
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: He should have been attending the opening days, the biggest

291
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: day of the year for sport.

292
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: Then well, John, if if he gets someone like me

293
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 3: who gives a shout out that he's not there, and

294
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: you know, I'm the common fan, you know, both baseball

295
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 3: and golf, all right, but you know, cut him some swack.

296
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: I think now, doubt you want to know to think golf.

297
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: It's the opening round to the Masters. Tiger Woods is playing.

298
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: They don't need Rob Manford there. You know who needed

299
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: Rob Manford baseball? They need it, right, that's his job, dad, Okay, and.

300
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 3: He does it pretty well.

301
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: A debatable it, all right. So so we did it.

302
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: You know, we did it our way on Thursday. I'm

303
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: glad we had Thursday because we got it right on Friday.

304
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: But I'm wondering on Thursday, we're walking down to the

305
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: amen corner and again it just kind of pulls you

306
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: down there and you don't realize how far beneath the

307
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: back nine especially is so far beneath the front nine.

308
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: And then you work your way back up to the

309
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: clubhouse on seven to eighteen. What were your feelings because

310
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: that how many times have we watched a men corner?

311
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: And really one of the beautiful things about the Masters

312
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: is the sights and the sounds that you see on

313
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: TV that CBS and ESPN have been providing for us

314
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 2: for so many years. What was your feeling seeing a

315
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: men corner for the first time in person?

316
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: Well, that's a john That's probably the most historic Part

317
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: three in golf. Yes, I didn't quite understand. I'm a

318
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 3: golfer and I know it's over one hundred and fifty

319
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: five yards.

320
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: It's also the part three that Jordan Sped thinks about

321
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: every single day that for the remainder saw that we did.

322
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: He put a couple on the drink.

323
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: We saw that on Friday, but we can go into

324
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: that later. But that's historic golf. And then to see

325
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: a one hundred and fifty five yard Part three that

326
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 3: anyone who's played golf can get on and realize how

327
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: difficult it is to get on, uh, you know it,

328
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 3: and the beauty of it with the azaleas in the

329
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 3: back and the and raised creek in the front, and

330
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 3: the and the white sand of the traps. It's just

331
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: it's gorgeous. But you know what, it's arguably the most

332
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: famous part three in golf.

333
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: I think it probably is. We played a lot of

334
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: golf together. You know, like one fifty five, I'm going

335
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: to hit a seven iron, right, you know that, And

336
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm telling you on that hole, I think i'd lay up.

337
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 2: I think it would go bitching wedge, bitching wedge. That

338
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: that terrifies me.

339
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: I notice that the front bunker doesn't get hit into

340
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: off and that's kind of too close. So these guys

341
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 3: end up going along if if they have to do

342
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: anything and coming back from the bunkers or the azaleas

343
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 3: or whatever.

344
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: Right. I love when the announcers say, hey, the key

345
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: to this hole is just put it right over that

346
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: front bunker. Lad. Oh yeah, as if it's that fucking

347
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: easy that I mean, I thought, you go out and

348
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: do it.

349
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: NaN's I mean, ask Jordan's feet that yesterday on Friday,

350
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: asked cam Smith yesterday.

351
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's funny. We were sitting there with Eric

352
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: at Amen corner and my brother and he said to

353
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: both of us that Jordan Speed is gonna put one

354
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: in the drink. Eric was wrong. Well, but he was

355
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: wrong because you put two in the drink. But he

356
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 2: did call it. I have to give him credit. I

357
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: have about fifteen to sixteen.

358
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: Comment John, I'm on twelve.

359
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

360
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: If you're walking on the left bridge to get to

361
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: the green, you've done. Okay. You go on the right

362
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 3: bridge to get across creek, you're yes, you're out of

363
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: bounds or in the water. If you're in the water.

364
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 2: If you're walking up that right bridge on the twelfth hole, Dad,

365
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 2: there's a good chance you've just lost the tournaments. Okay,

366
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: you're at it. If you weren't contention, you're out of contention.

367
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 3: Did you walk up that right bridge yesterday?

368
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: So yes, yes, he did. I have about fifteen sixteen

369
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: because I know those are two of your favorite holes.

370
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: We stumbled upon the fact that it's probably the best

371
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: place to sit at the entire course of your a spectator.

372
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 2: But you're feelings seeing fifteen and sixteen the first time.

373
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: Sixteen I had seen a lot on TV, and I

374
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: call it the Vernon lun Quest Hall. Yes, you know

375
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 3: because of his famous call with Tiger when he chipped in.

376
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: I forget the year he chipped in, but that's one

377
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: of my most memorable moments to see the ball go in,

378
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 3: see him call it, and see Tiger's reaction.

379
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: Fifteen.

380
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 3: I had no idea how hard it was. It's a

381
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 3: par five, and these guys can get there in two.

382
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 3: John Ron that day we saw him laid up in

383
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: front of that the water and then chipped over and

384
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: got a birdie. It's a big decision for these guys.

385
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: They can all get well, most of you get over.

386
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 3: Question is is very hard to hold that green and

387
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: mean to see what the shambo goes so far that

388
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 3: he almost went into the water on sixteen.

389
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great spot if you sit in the

390
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: sixteenth T box at Augusta and I my dad would

391
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: say the same thing. If you love golf, if you

392
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: love sports, if this is a place you want to see,

393
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: check it off your bucket list. Because it exceeded every

394
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: expectation I had for it. Oh yeah, and I had

395
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: very lofty ex right. That it's rare where you have

396
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 2: such great expectations for something and then you go to

397
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: see it and it exceeds your expectations.

398
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: Right, They all exceeded all expectations.

399
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 2: But I think what people don't realize and what's tricky

400
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 2: about fifteen and that approach shot and what you have

401
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: to navigate and all the things that are around it.

402
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: There's water in front, there's water behind it. If you

403
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 2: hit it too far, there's a trap over to the left,

404
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 2: there's a trap to the right. That is not an

405
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 2: and you're hitting downhill Dad, that is not an easy hole.

406
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: That is not an easy shot.

407
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 3: And plus on Thursday we saw the pin was in

408
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 3: the front and you know, maybe twelve yards off the

409
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 3: you know, from the stream there. If you hit it short,

410
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 3: that board dropped right down. I mean, there was no

411
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: way was saying you had to belong on that phone.

412
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: And most of them were long. We didn't see anyone

413
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: go into the stream.

414
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 2: No, no, we did not. And then you have just

415
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: little you know, just little subtle things like the Hogan

416
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 2: bridges right on fifteen. So you're like looking at that

417
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: like we're getting goosebumps, like we're dorking out me and

418
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: you were dorking out to all these things, these these

419
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: little landmarks at Augusta that make that place so special.

420
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: So we had a great time Thursday. We weren't there,

421
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: I would say what we were there maybe five hours

422
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: on Thursday because I had to do the show that

423
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: morning from the double right.

424
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: I think you got there about new and you got

425
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: back about five thirty.

426
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 2: Right, So we got back at five thirty because my

427
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 2: brother Eric was flying in and that, by the way,

428
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: the best part of the whole experience for me was

429
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: not having a cell phone for thirteen hours at a time.

430
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: I think we were John. I think we learned that

431
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: we can all be untended and still exist.

432
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and still figure it out. The best part

433
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: of my day was putting my cell phone in my

434
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 2: bed and leaving and knowing I would have to check

435
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: it for thirteen hours. The worst part of my day,

436
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: and I told you this every day, was getting back

437
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: and having to check my cell phone.

438
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: Well you know, as I'm probably not as attached to

439
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: my phone as you are, but you know I still

440
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 3: had a lot. But you know what I learned. I

441
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 3: learned that I can live without it, Yes, yes, And

442
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: I've firmly been in belief if someone needs to get

443
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 3: you in touch with you in an emergency, somehow they'll

444
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 3: find the way.

445
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 2: Dad. We we've made it this long without it. So

446
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 2: we all managed to get here without cell phone. You

447
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: and I did I mean, my kids, they wouldn't know

448
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 2: what to do without cell phones, your active exactly. So

449
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: Eric gets there. Eric is four years older than I am.

450
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: The three of us have watched this since since since

451
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 2: me and Eric were kids, and you've turned us onto golf.

452
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 2: He turned us onto this tournament, and thank you for that,

453
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: because I love this sport. I love this tournament. But

454
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: we get there, and so you and I have already

455
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 2: walked the course. It's of course, and know what, this

456
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 2: should be a shock to no one. After spending a

457
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: single day at Augusta National. You and I were experts

458
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 2: on everything and the entire tournament and its history. I

459
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 2: mean we knew everything just because we spent a single

460
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 2: day there.

461
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 3: Correct, that's correct, That's correct, confected. If I had to

462
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 3: mention go one place, you would look at me, say.

463
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: Dad, it's here, not the right Yes, you're right, Eric.

464
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, walking in with us because we had been in

465
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 3: already on Thursday. As soon as he got in there,

466
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 3: all he could say was Augusta.

467
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 2: I know, that's.

468
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: All he could say.

469
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: But that that's part of the charm and the beauty

470
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: of this tournament and how you, me and Eric kind

471
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 2: of absorbed this tournament where even when we're texting about it,

472
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: it might just be Phil and you know exactly like

473
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: I might just text to the two of you Phil,

474
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 2: and that means and that means for you guys, oh,

475
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 2: film must have done something special, right, we're Sometimes it's tiger,

476
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 2: or sometimes it's just a word or two. And you're right.

477
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: When Eric walked in, you and I already knew what

478
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: to expect. But he walked in because you walk past

479
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: that driving range, you make it right. You see the

480
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 2: merchandise store to the right, which is massive, which you

481
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: found out does over a million dollars a day in

482
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: sales while Augusta is while the Masters is in session.

483
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, Eric walked in, and then the entire.

484
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: Course opens up, its.

485
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: Blue skies and trees and pine needles and colors, and

486
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: it's beautiful. And you're right. Eric blurted out one word.

487
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 2: I got it. But we did it right the second

488
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 2: day with.

489
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 3: That word for everyone.

490
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: Yes. Now, Eric kind of wanted to see the whole

491
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 2: courses as well, and he did, but I feel like

492
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: we really did it right, like we got I didn't

493
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: have to work on Friday. We got there at around

494
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: nine am. We didn't leave that place until it was dark.

495
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: I think we got back at like eight thirty. I

496
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: think day two we really did it right now.

497
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 3: Day two was absolutely perfect because we were John, you

498
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: and I were veterans.

499
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: You ready, we'd actually, of course.

500
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: Walked the course for five hours.

501
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: It was like our twenty fifth masters.

502
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 3: I mean, come, we knew everything, but no, so we

503
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 3: uh you know, we we sure everything we wanted. One

504
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: thing that I had wanted to see which I hadn't

505
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 3: mentioned besides Amen Corner in fifteenth and sixteen, was seeing

506
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 3: that the driving hole on eighteen and I wanted to

507
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: see whether those trees were as narrow as they look

508
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 3: on TV. And I had to see that, and yes,

509
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 3: they are there as narrow as they look, if not narrower.

510
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: I think they're narrow to us. I think those guys

511
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 2: it's just fine. You know, Like we saw Freddy Couples

512
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: on that hole. He walked by. I gave him a Freddy,

513
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: I give him one of those. I gave him a

514
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 2: boom boom, and then he stripped the drive to eighty

515
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: right down in the middle. He didn't seem phase by it, Dad, Yeah,

516
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: phase by much.

517
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, no, no, that's that's why he's always been

518
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 3: one of our favorites. And uh you know that's why

519
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 3: over the years all we had to do was text

520
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 3: each other. When when Freddy was in his prime, it

521
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: was just one word Freddy when he did something spectacular.

522
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: Now you imagine now, seeing the narrow the narrowness of

523
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 2: the eighteenth old that if I gave you ten t

524
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 2: shots from the eighteenth t how many do you think

525
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 2: end up in the tree?

526
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: John, forget the tree. I got to get through the trees.

527
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: I've thought that in your prime. I'm talking about it

528
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 2: your heyday, okay, because I'm telling you right now. For me,

529
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 2: I'll put at least seven in that tree to the left.

530
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 3: At least, I'm saying, I'm getting at least one or

531
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: two through the trees. But they're not going much past

532
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: the trees. I'm nowhere near the trap on the left,

533
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 3: that's for sure.

534
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: All right. So Thursday is special, but you're just with me.

535
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: Friday is even more special because you're with both of us.

536
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 2: So me, you and Eric we sit at Amen Corner

537
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: and we sit there for a good two to three hours,

538
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: and at one point Eric turns to me and said,

539
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 2: I've never had so much fun watching guys pitching putt

540
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 2: because when you're sitting at Amen Corner, what you do

541
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: is you see the guys coming in on eleven and

542
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: then they have to play that part three, twelve and

543
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: then they're off to thirteenth. What what was it like

544
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 2: for you sitting with your two sons, Amen Corner, Master's Friday,

545
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 2: beautiful day outside. What was that like for you?

546
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: Well, it was something that I never knew would happen,

547
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: you know, through through you and medow Walk Media and

548
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: John Skipper and and everyone he you know, they made

549
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: it happen. So that was something I guess I could

550
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 3: have made it happen in the years, but the way

551
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 3: we did it through through the people, you know, was

552
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 3: was really really special. And when we met some wonderful

553
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 3: people and and uh, you know, that made it even special.

554
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: You know, we were welcome where we went, we were

555
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 3: and that made it special. But more just to be

556
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 3: with you guys, instead of having a text Freddie or

557
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 3: a tiger, we could look around and do high fives. Uh.

558
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: And you know the comment about Speeth and then five

559
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 3: minutes later Eric had said it. Five minutes later he's

560
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 3: hitting two in the water. Uh, you know, I mean,

561
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: you know, not for him, but it couldn't get any

562
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 3: better for us, But for Jordan on that particular hole,

563
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: it wasn't that good.

564
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: That I could sit here and tell you that had

565
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: I been there by myself or with a friend, or

566
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: or even just with Eric, my brother, what made it

567
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: special for me? And I got goosebumps, like multiple times

568
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: I was sitting there with you and my brother at

569
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: Amen Corner like that made it a mill time. It

570
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: made it a million times better.

571
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 3: Than absolutely I know it was for all of us.

572
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: And we said it, and I said to you that evening.

573
00:29:59,280 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

574
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 3: As we were walking out at eight o'clock on Friday,

575
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: I turned around to you guys and said, Mama, widow lovers.

576
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: Yep, I think Mom did love it. Dad. Yeah, I

577
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: think she's sitting in heaven with a smile on her face. Still.

578
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: Ye yeah, you as we record this, So that was

579
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: fun Amen Corner. And then we went over to fifteen

580
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: sixteen so to give people an idea. There's a spot

581
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,239
Speaker 2: on that course, and we learned that that was the

582
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: best spot to sit on the entire course. And you

583
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 2: just let the groups come to you. The beautiful thing

584
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: about Augusta is you don't have your phone. Okay, that's

585
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: number one. Number two is you're not even sure how

586
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: good Tiger's doing because he wasn't up on the leader

587
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: board and you don't care how he's doing. All you

588
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: know is that he's coming. That he's coming to the hole,

589
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: right He's coming to the hole that you're sitting at.

590
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: So to give people an idea, you could sit in

591
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: the sixteen tea box, which is that par three. You

592
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: see all the guys coming in from fifteen that shot

593
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 2: we were just talking about that really difficult shot. A

594
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: lot of guys laid up and then they walk over

595
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe fifteen feet add to the sixteen

596
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: ten bucks right.

597
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: About you know, the green is there and then they

598
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 3: walk over. You know, maybe it's twenty yards.

599
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 2: So that Friday pin placement is great because it just

600
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: kind of funnels down into a bowl. If you hit

601
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: it correctly, you're going to be close because the balls

602
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: very direct. We saw we saw Stuart Sinks hole in one,

603
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: which was a thrill for all three of us. That

604
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 2: was amazing.

605
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 3: By the way, John, do you know that Stuart Sinks

606
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 3: his son was carrying his bag that.

607
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: Day Yeah, did you know it was his sun's birthday?

608
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: No, absolutely didn't. But I heard his son was carrying

609
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 3: the bag.

610
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 2: So his son was on the bag, Stuart Sink's son.

611
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: And I think Stuart won a US opener a player,

612
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 2: So he was a major champion in championships, right, But

613
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 2: all the major champions there they get they get love

614
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: that that no one else gets there, like, especially if

615
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: you've won the Masters. I mean, Danny Willett was getting

616
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: standing ovations that Danny will like he was getting to

617
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: the standing. Jose Maria ole Thabo was getting standing ovations

618
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: and he deserves Sandy Lyles getting his and he deserved it.

619
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: But we did see the shot with Stuart Sink and Dad.

620
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: Here's the best part. I'm glad you brought this up.

621
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: His son's on the bag, it's his son's birthday. His

622
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 2: son was kind of walking ahead of him, was ten

623
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: yards ahead of him. Then his son realizes the ball

624
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 2: goes in the hole. He walks back, he runs back

625
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 2: to his dad. They give him a hug and Stuart's

626
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: his happy birthday kid.

627
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 3: Ye, that I didn't know, but I enjoyed watching his

628
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 3: fellow competitives. You know, when he did that. Yes, they were.

629
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: You know, the camaraderie between all of them was fantastic.

630
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 3: And one other thing I noticed on the course, which

631
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: you don't see on TV, is how often they talk

632
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: to each other all the time, the players while while

633
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 3: they're walking down the fairway. You don't see that often

634
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 3: on TV.

635
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 2: NonStop. They do it NonStop. It's very cool. Which spot

636
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: did you like better? Corner at fifteen sixteen? Kind of

637
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: sixteen tea box fifteen.

638
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 3: Players, Yet fifteen sixteen beat pretty cool. We were right

639
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: up close on the tee box in sixteen, so you

640
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: could see him come in. You can see the expression

641
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 3: on their face. You could see how they prepared for

642
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 3: the shot, how they were standing there with their caddies

643
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 3: checking out the pin placement. And by the way, right

644
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: after sink, we saw Woods come up and he almost

645
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: had a hole in one.

646
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Dad, I will tell you on fifteen

647
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: and then sixteen, I think that's where he kind of

648
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: lost the tournament, lost some momentum. Kind of listen. He

649
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: finished the tournament, so that's a good thing for golf.

650
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: But he was within I don't know, I mean, you

651
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: tell me. I think he had a six footer for

652
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 2: Birdie on fifteen, and he had to be within ten

653
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: feet on sixteen for Bertie, and he missed both those

654
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: pots by by inches. I'm talking like an eight. I

655
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 2: think the ball he makes both of those that It's

656
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: a totally different story with Tiger.

657
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: The ball Mayer roll. We couldn't see it exactly. It

658
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 3: had to be no more than six inches coming down

659
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: that hill from the right towards the water, which they

660
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 3: know where to hit on that hole. They know they

661
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 3: hit it exactly, and then it, you know, and then

662
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 3: it hopefully rolls down and Stewart's sink's case rolled right in.

663
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 3: I know, Jackson, that was something to see.

664
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 2: It was great, Dad, we saw a hole in one

665
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 2: of the masters. I mean, who's better than us? Nobody

666
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 2: is the answer, But Dad, listen, I know you love

667
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: Jack and we all love Phil our family. I think

668
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 2: Jack's your favorite golfer. I think Phil would be in

669
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: that discussion. Tiger is certainly in that discussion. I think

670
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: Tiger is my favorite golfer of all time. But how

671
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 2: cool was it for you just to see Tiger that

672
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 2: we were five feet away from Tiger Woods, who was

673
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: trying to charge get himself into the tournament. But just

674
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: to see him out August on the sixteenth hole, that

675
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: was so cool.

676
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 3: And we were so close to him.

677
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 2: Yes, and Dad, you could feel it coming. And not

678
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 2: only can you feel it coming, you could hear it coming.

679
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 3: You could hear it coming. And we're sitting in the

680
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 3: stands and people anticipate, patient of it. Uh, maybe he's

681
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 3: up two holes behind, So he's on thirteen and then

682
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 3: all of a sudden the stands start filling up. Yeah,

683
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 3: and the ushers there, you know, people were asking for seats.

684
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 3: The ushers are shaking their head, no more seats left.

685
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: And as soon as he left, as soon as he

686
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 3: left the green, they all left, the whole brand standing

687
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 3: emptied out right. Yeah, they're probably going to follow him

688
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 3: on seventeen or eighteen, and that's that's something we didn't

689
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 3: choose to do. We went elsewhere that after that, well.

690
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: I think we stayed at sixteen and followed Scotty Shuffler up.

691
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: But I think I told you at one point Scotty

692
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: Scheffler is going to win this tournament. He's the best,

693
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 2: he's the best player in the world. I remember telling

694
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: you that at Amen Corner. Uh, just to get people

695
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 2: an idea that when we sat down at those bleachers

696
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 2: on sixteen, it was fairly empty because Tiger was still

697
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 2: about eight holes away from getting Oh, there was no

698
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: one there. You could pick any seat you wanted and

699
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: you'd be fine. But with every with each passing hole,

700
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: and as people anticipated Tiger getting closer and closer, all

701
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 2: of a sudden those bleachers we were sitting in we

702
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 2: were spread out.

703
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 3: I mean we were sitting lounging there. John, Yeah, we

704
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 3: were louder.

705
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden it became, you know,

706
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 2: the biggest ticket gousta people could find the spot to

707
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 2: sit and so that's kind of the Tiger effect. And

708
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: then you're right, it's a great point. After Tiger left

709
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 2: that hole, there were still two or three other groups.

710
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: Most of those guys were contention way justin Thomas was

711
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: what they all left. Everyone left, but we stayed. We

712
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 2: stayed h and then we walked Scheffler up the eighteenth

713
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 2: hold Dad a very deserving champion, you would agree, Scotti. Scheffler, right,

714
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 2: number one golfer in the world, won a bunch of tournaments.

715
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 3: Right in this run he's had over the laging five weeks. Yeah,

716
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 3: at twenty five years old, and he handled himself. I

717
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 3: thought on Saturday when his ball went into the woods

718
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: on eighteen, he just handled himself so perfect. Uh you know,

719
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, the guy's been playing golf since

720
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: he's ten eleven years old. But he was a credit

721
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 3: to the golf you know, to the golfers the way

722
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 3: he handled it, with his decorum. He thanked the official

723
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 3: when he got the drop. I mean you can hear

724
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 3: on TV I'm saying thank you. And you know, I mean,

725
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 3: he's he's a deserving champion and I'm sure we're going

726
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 3: to see him a lot more.

727
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 2: I think we will. Made it made it a little dicey, though, Dad,

728
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 2: I will tell you without four punt on eighteen, but

729
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 2: he already but he knew he had the tournament in

730
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: the bag, so he was.

731
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: The tournament was in hand. But you know, the tournament

732
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 3: in my mind was in hand. When the camp smith

733
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 3: went into the water on twelve, that was it campall.

734
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 2: But Rory tried to make a run there, Dad, he did.

735
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 3: It was great to see him doing it.

736
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 2: And what a great moment. Did you see that Rory

737
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: out of the sand on eighteen and then more cow

738
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: out of this sand. The very next shot out of eighteen,

739
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 2: the crowd finally settles down from Rory and then more

740
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 2: cow it does the exact same thing.

741
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 3: And that's unbelievable. And the and the you know, they

742
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,959
Speaker 3: both went to each other and you know, they high

743
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 3: five and hugged each other, which was you know, that

744
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 3: was great. That was great. We saw it on TV,

745
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 3: but I'm sure it was even more exciting in person.

746
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. All Right, Since and we'll get

747
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: you out of here, but since uh, since I'm legendary,

748
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 2: My top fives are legendary, Dad, I am famous for

749
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: top fives. Okay, by the way, before we get to

750
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 2: your top five, I know you want to do a

751
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 2: top five. You're dying to do a top five.

752
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 3: Okay, you only come up with four, but it's great.

753
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 2: I don't care if you come up with three. It

754
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, Okay, I wrote down In fact, I like that, Dad,

755
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 2: that that's how you think outside of the box. Everyone

756
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: else is doing top fives, You do top fours.

757
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 3: Okay, I may do top five, but we'll figure it out.

758
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: All right. But but before we get to that, for

759
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 2: families like hours, for lovers of golf or sports, fans everywhere. Dad,

760
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 2: you would tell them what if they're thinking, if they

761
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 2: haven't been yet and they're thinking about going to this

762
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 2: tournament with their loved ones, with their sons, their daughters,

763
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: whatever it may be, you would tell them what.

764
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 3: Well, I had a bunch of friends who knew where

765
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 3: I was going. Yeah, and I got calls Saturday night

766
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 3: and Sunday, how was it? How was it? And you know,

767
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 3: of course the guys who called because you grew up

768
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 3: with them, my friends, and I told them the same thing.

769
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,479
Speaker 3: I said, it if you can do it. If you can,

770
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 3: you know, the way I did it is great, but

771
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 3: you guys can make it happen, So go and do it.

772
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 3: It's worth the day. I wouldn't spend four days there.

773
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 3: I do it the way we did it two days

774
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 3: Thursday and Friday, and then we left early on Saturday

775
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 3: morning so we could get on our respective couches Saturday afternoon,

776
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 3: and we did. You know, they weren't all green, but

777
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 3: we got on our respective couches. So you know, to

778
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 3: anyone who's thinking of going, who's able to go, try

779
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 3: to carve out a couple of days, uh and do it,

780
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 3: because it's absolutely worth it.

781
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: I do it with the people you love most.

782
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 3: Like that's absolutely go with a bunch of friends, because, uh,

783
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 3: you and I and Eric sitting in the sands were

784
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 3: surrounded by people and as you're waiting for other uh

785
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,839

Speaker 3: Uh you know me with you know, with the uh yeah,

788
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 3: the gallery attendance while you were getting something to eat.

789
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 3: I became friends with two gallery attendants.

790
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 2: It was the least shocking thing that happened over the weekend.

791
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, that's my dad.

792
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 2: Everyone loved you, man, everyone loves you. Yeah, all right,

793
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: so give me here we go, Dad. I've never asked

794
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 2: you this before, but uh, you know we're here. So

795
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 2: top five, Uh, give me your top five Masters moments

796
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: of all time. I want your talking down. I'll start

797
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 2: with one. Don't give us number one. Everyone wants one

798
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 2: to be last.

799
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 3: All right, I'm looking at it.

800
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 2: No, probably, And if you only have four, that's fine, pops,

801
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 2: that's good. We're now.

802
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 3: I'll go with I think five was Freddie Couple's win

803
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 3: in ninety two, because, uh, for some reason, it's just

804
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 3: the way Freddie couples is the way he handles himself.

805
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 3: The three of us fell in love with him, uh,

806
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 3: and you know, not only us, but the rest of

807
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 3: the golfing world. And then when we saw him up

808
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 3: close and you walk by him and yelled out, Freddy,

809
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 3: he just ambles, keeps going, but he lifted his head

810
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 3: and you know, that was pretty good.

811
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: So that was five and Freddie probably should want a

812
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 2: couple of more that but the back out in the way,

813
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 2: Freddy was one of the great golfers with one of

814
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 2: the great swings, and we loved him. Uh.

815
00:41:55,719 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 3: Number four was probably Tigers winning his fifth Masters. I

816
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 3: mean that was you know, that was great. Uh numbers.

817
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 2: There were so many questions that just to just to

818
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 2: kind of expand on that, there were so many questions,

819
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 2: will Tiger ever win another major again? Will he ever

820
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 2: win another major again? And then and then yeah, not

821
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 2: only did he win another major, but to win that

822
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 2: major which meant the most.

823
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 3: In nineteen Then I'm going to go back to three

824
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 3: to uh for nineteen ninety seven when Tiger was the

825
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 3: youngest winner. Yeah, and set the scoring record. Then yes,

826
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 3: that was you know, that was twenty six years ago.

827
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 3: Twenty five years ago.

828
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 2: That was his first one. And just to put what

829
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 2: Scotty Scheffler did into some sort of perspective here for

830
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 2: the audience, there were three guys who have won the

831
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: Masters at the age of twenty five or younger. Tiger's

832
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 2: won speak is two. Scotty Scheffler is three. Pretty damn impressive.

833
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: All right, so that's three. What do you got?

834
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 3: Number two takes us to the sixteenth hole. Okay, the

835
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 3: most dramatic shot that I've ever saw. And the TV

836
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 3: coverage of it was great, with vern one quist yep

837
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 3: and uh on on, you know, with Tiger chipping in

838
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 3: and the ball sitting on the edge of the cup

839
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 3: and everyone can see the Nike logo on that and

840
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 3: the ball actually sat there for maybe a second, John,

841
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 3: seconds and then when in and then the reaction from

842
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 3: Tiger was just it was just unbelievable.

843
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. I heard Tigers say afterwards, if I hit that

844
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 2: shot a million times, I might never put it in

845
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 2: the cup, but that time I did. Yeah, it was

846
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 2: an amazing shot.

847
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 3: And number one, John, I'm pretty sure you can figure

848
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 3: it out.

849
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: Okay, you want me to guess what it is?

850
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, guess what it is and our confirming in.

851
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 2: That final round eighty six back nine, Jack Nicholas, you

852
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 2: got it.

853
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 3: You know your customer, John I do that was number one.

854
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 3: That was number one. Watching what he did on that

855
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 3: back nine. I was watching it. You guys weren't around,

856
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 3: so I was watching with a friend at his house.

857
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 3: And it was the most I can always say, it

858
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 3: was the most intense back nine have ever watched. You

859
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 3: were with him on every shot, you are, and then

860
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 3: when you realized he was going to do it, it

861
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 3: was just unbelievable.

862
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 2: It really here's a quick story, because I've had Jack

863
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: Nicholas Junior on the show. I introduced Jack Junior to you.

864
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 2: You actually had a conversation with the Golden Bear with

865
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 2: Jack Nicholas, which was very nice. Right after Mom passed away.

866
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 2: That was super super nice of them to kind of coordinate.

867
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 2: But Jack Junior told me a great story and everyone

868
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 2: knows the story that if you're a golf fan, it

869
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: was legendary. Speaking of that sixteenth hole, Jack hit a

870
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: shot there on the sixteenth hole as he's closing in

871
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 2: eighty six, and he hits a shot and Junior says

872
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 2: he was on his bag that day. He says Dad,

873
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 2: I hope that's enough, and Jack didn't even look up.

874
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 2: He handed him the club and he goes it is

875
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 2: and he landed WT five feet from the hole.

876
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that to me is the number one you know

877
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 3: that nine holes? Yeah was You know, that was just

878
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 3: the most intense fun watching sport event that I obviously

879
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 3: and when I had the good fortune to speak to

880
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 3: him for a couple of minutes, I thanked him for that,

881
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 3: you know, for that nineteen eighty six win, and he

882
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 3: was appreciative of it. I'm sure I wasn't the first,

883
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 3: but you know, our generation because she's a couple of

884
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 3: years older than me. You know, that was a heartfelt

885
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 3: moment watching what he did at his age.

886
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 2: No doubt. Here's like that just to give people the

887
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 2: gravity of of how big it is and how important

888
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 2: it was for us to be there, to get my

889
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: brother off the couch that quickly, to fly down to

890
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 2: Atlanta and drive two bars over to Augusta. You know,

891
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 2: it's a great event.

892
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 3: John.

893
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 2: He doesn't move that quickly for anything or anybody.

894
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 3: Again, capsualize that so fast that when he walked in

895
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 3: and just said one word Augusta, Yeah, then we knew

896
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 3: it was worth it, and he knew it was worth

897
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 3: getting off the couch and flying on short notice to

898
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 3: get there.

899
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 2: I will tell you this, I don't know what the

900
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: max is on your credit card, but I'm pretty certain

901
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 2: Eric and I hit it after round when we went

902
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 2: into the store to my merchandise.

903
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: Again, well, the audience should know I'm not good shopping.

904
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 3: So the boys go into the gift shop and I said,

905
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 3: it's on me. Guys, and I told him, you know,

906
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 3: don't don't max out my credit with it. But they

907
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 3: were pretty good. They were. I don't know what I

908
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 3: saw merchandise, but I never saw a receipt, so I'll

909
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 3: find out my next bill.

954
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 2: By the way, so we had Scott van Pelton on Monday,

955
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 2: and Levittor thinks like he's he gave a take stop

956
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 2: whining about walking eighteen holes, okay, and I had made

957
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 2: the point to Dan, hey, let me break your leg

958
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 2: to the point where it's almost gonna fall off your body.

959
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 2: At twelve months from that point you go walk augusta

960
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 2: four consecutive days and tell me how you feel.

961
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I saw Tiger is ending into you know,

962
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 3: his ending interview on Sunday, and I have said to

963
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 3: you guys on Friday night, he's made the cut, but

964
00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 3: he's gonna falter. He can't walk for a round with

965
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 3: those legs. You can see this point, right, I guess

966
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 3: will be at some point in the future he will that.

967
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 2: I think that. Listen. The encouraging thing for golf was

968
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 2: that Tiger played and finished and he was in contention

969
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 2: after two rounds. You have to think the next major,

970
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 2: and he's committed. The next major, he'll be even stronger.

971
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 2: The next major, he'll be stronger than that. And eventually

972
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 2: this guy, because he's so good, so talented, and I'm

973
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 2: done saying no, Tiger is not going to do this anymore.

974
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 2: Tiger's going to win another major dead. I don't know

975
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 2: if it's Augusta, but he is going to win another major.

976
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 2: He'll just fifty dead.

977
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, you know the interview he had yesterday post

978
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 3: the round he was he was saying that he was

979
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 3: fortunate to get the a team, you know, to make

980
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 3: the cut and do four rounds. That met his expectations. Yeah,

981
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 3: I guess he'll be there. He'll He's getting stronger every day, so.

982
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 2: Yep, he'll be there. I will also tell you that

983
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 2: Spieth will never win another Green Jacket ever in its

984
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 2: entire life. That twelve hold is in his head.

985
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 3: I also made a prediction about the Shambo if if

986
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 3: you want me to.

987
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,719

990
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 3: is just not right for him and he's not gonna that.

991
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 3: You know. We'll try to overpower every course. You can't

992
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 3: overpower Augusta.

993
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 2: You get you know what you need. You need a

994
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 2: short game, like a legendary short game. And if you

995
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,960

1011
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,439

1016
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 3: so that made it extra special.

1017

Speaker 2: It most certainly did. It's uh, it's about as normal

1018
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 2: as I felt. And since Mom passed away that.

1019

Speaker 3: than a somber event. So that made them That made

1022
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 3: me think. As I was walking through the gates, I

1023
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,840
