What is going on everybody, John Middlecoff, Go 12 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: Low Podcast. A lot going on in the golf world, Baby, 13 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: A lot going on. Right before I press record the 14 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: PGA Tour, UH denied everyone going to the Saudi League 15 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: their releases. Then again, about ten minutes later, Greg Norman 16 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: came out with a release. We'll dive into that. Tom 17 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: Brady got three million dollars to call NFL football games. 18 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: I don't think Phil would have gotten that much, but 19 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: I think Phil would have been in that situation. Have 20 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: a couple of thoughts. There had a theory this weekend 21 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: watching Max Homa and I think Colin Morrikawa and the 22 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: Goat Tiger Woods also falls under there. Joe Buck is 23 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: going to do a manning cast for the p g 24 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: A Championship. I have some questions. And then Matt Wolfe, uh, 25 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: I kind of like him this week. I think he's 26 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: on the right, the straight and narrow, but he gave 27 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: some interesting quotes last week about his attitude that I 28 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: thought just apply to life. Of course, at go low 29 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: Pod is the Instagram account you want to get your question. 30 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: We do the Middlecoff mail bag on the Football Show, 31 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: we do the go Low mail bag on the Golf Podcast. 32 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: But the way to get on this is you fire 33 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: in the direct messages of at go Low, at go 34 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: excuse Me. At gol pod is the Instagram go follow 35 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: that I throw up content. I also interact golf questions 36 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: there for the podcast. At gol Pod, let's I guess. 37 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: Let's start with pump Tom Brady getting three million dollars. 38 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: A huge reason he got that much money is he's 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: got a lot of leverage like Tiger Woods, like Michael Jordan's, 40 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: you have to pay so much freaking money to get 41 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: access to that individual it's he has all the juice, 42 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: kind of like Tony Romo a year ago, but on steroids. Right, 43 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: Tony had people bidding over him. Peyton Mannings had people 44 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: bidding over him, but a little like Peyton. Peyton was like, 45 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: I want to do what I want to do. You 46 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: need to give me money for Omaha productions. You need 47 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: to let me do the Manning cast from my rich 48 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: neighbors garage. Right. Tom Brady was like, yeah, you know, 49 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm to fifty. Probably not enough three four hundred because 50 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: the speaking engagements. Do you know how much money Tiger Woods? 51 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: He just had that Tiger Jam where he hits balls 52 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: in front of rich clients. Well, what do you think 53 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: these guys do a lot of time, especially Tiger and 54 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: his prime made so much money. The reason these corporations 55 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: were paying him so much. He'd go around the country 56 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: and do these corporate outings for really rich sponsors. That's 57 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: justifying the the ungodly amount of money he was making. 58 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: And Tom, to me, is worth every penny. Now. The 59 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: difference I would say between Tom and Phil. I've seen 60 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: Phil on television a couple of years ago. Was the 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: U S Open. I forget the tournament was on there 62 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: with Faldo and owned it. It was like maybe it 63 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: was riv it was incredible. It was like, oh my god, 64 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: now it's would does golf generate the money football does? 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: Of course not, but could Phil if he would have 66 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: avoided this Saddi mess. And it's weird because he just 67 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: want a major, so he might have been a couple 68 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: of years away from it. And listen, golf is a 69 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: lot different than football, Like, ultimately, if you call a 70 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: season of football, you're you're on air three hours a week. Now, 71 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: prep for football is much more intense than it would 72 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: be for golf because you have to learn new coaches, 73 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: new schemes, new players. Every tournament Phil would do for CBS. 74 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: He has participated in that tournament. He knows the holes, 75 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: he knows the different shots. So even if there are 76 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: new players that come up in five years, he doesn't know. 77 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: He knows the angles and what a club you should 78 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: hit from a hundred fifty yards, the pin placements, the wind, 79 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: the rough he knows all that. Now. The difference is 80 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: you have to work three four days a week. Right. 81 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: You don't just get to work on Sunday. You have 82 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: to be on air, Like if you turn on some 83 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: of these tournaments folds talking on Thursday, right, then Friday, 84 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: then Saturday, then Sunday. Right, they do the Golf Channel stuff. 85 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: Sometimes for the majors, they do the carryover stuff on ESPN. 86 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: It's a lot of work. So but I still believe 87 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: that CBS probably would have paid to have Phil Mickelson 88 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: as part of their brand and got rid of fall, 89 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: though I don't know twenty million dollars like and to Phil, 90 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: who knows. Maybe we'll see the sady thing. But as 91 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: you saw today, for the first time, they've let Greg talk. 92 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: They let Greg talk, They've let Phil take a lot 93 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: of ship, They've let all these players take a lot 94 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: of ship. Phil, or excuse me, Sergio last week the 95 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: first time. Now listen. He's got a long history of whining, 96 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: made the comments can't wait to get off this tour, 97 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: can't wait to leave here, can't wait to basically never 98 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: have to play these tournaments again. So it was pretty 99 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: clear what he was talking about, like I'm going to 100 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: without saying it, I'm going to the Saudi League. Screw 101 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: you guys, even though the rules of golf are the 102 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: rules of golf. Ironically, Sergio turned out to be right 103 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: they screwed up the clock. He should have got more time. Whatever. Regardless, 104 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: we knew what Sergio was talking about, which is the 105 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: elephant in the room is this Sawdy League. And then 106 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: earlier today I was at the gym and I saw 107 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: Barstool Rigs tweet out this interview from Sky Sports of 108 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: Greg Norman sitting down talking with one of their big 109 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: Jake's and he was Pepper and him with questions. And 110 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: then the big term they used is like sports washing, 111 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: which is essentially using sports as a vehicle to circumvent 112 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: all the negative things that the government does, like killing people, 113 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: putting people in bon saws, cutting them up, you know, 114 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, stoning homosexuals, like they have no rules over there, 115 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: they'll do whatever they want. And Greg Norman was adamant 116 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: that he does not answer to those people. And a 117 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: life lesson that I learned very very young, and I 118 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: think it speaks when you're a kid and your parents too, 119 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: when you get a job or even if you're in business. 120 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: If you are in business, you are beholden to the consumer. 121 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: If you have a job, you're beholden to your boss. 122 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: And when you're a kid growing up, you are beholden 123 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: to your parents. We all have to answer to the 124 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: people that provide the capital, whether that's you can be 125 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: an entrepreneur if someone gives you ten million dollars to 126 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: start a business, even if you're the CEO of the company, 127 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: you answer to that guy. That's the way the real 128 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: world fucking works. And you better believe if Saudi Arabia 129 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: is financing this idea, which they are, the biggest leverage 130 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: that Greg Norman has in this entire live golf is 131 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: not that he's putting on golf tournaments. They already exist. 132 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: It's called the PGA Tour, it's called the European Tour, 133 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: it's called the corn Ferry Tour. Golf tournaments all over 134 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: the world, rocketing and rolling. Now his point, it's not 135 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: the golf courses. They already played sweet golf courses. The 136 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: best golf course is the best golf courses in America. 137 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: The PGA Tour plays the best golf course in Europe. 138 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: I would imagine the European Tour plays, right, That's that's 139 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: a fact. What Greg Norman's point of differences is the 140 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: money he is guaranteeing. The cash no cuts enormous purses. 141 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: If the purses were smaller than the PGA Tour. You 142 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: know who would not be interested. All the older players 143 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: that are going, they would just stay on the PGA 144 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: Tour or transition the Champions Tour. His point of difference 145 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: is the money he's getting from Saudi Arabia, who has 146 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: an unlimited amount of money that they do not care 147 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: and they will spend any amount of money that helps there. Again, 148 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: you know me, I'm not a moral high horse guy. 149 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: I don't even know. He's just pretty clear what they're doing. 150 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: But regardless, you want to take their money, take their money. 151 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: But let's not act like the reason this these tournaments 152 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: are happening is because you hate the setup of the 153 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: PGA Tour. Now, j Bonahan, who there were rumors that 154 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: he was in Washington this week. Obviously they just played 155 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: a golf tournament in Washington, d C. He was in 156 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: Washington meeting with politicians because they're about to go through 157 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: a major, major political battle, and he's let Greg Norman, 158 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: He's let all these guys talk and talk and talk. Finally, 159 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: the PGA Tour put their chips in the middle of 160 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: the table and their answer was, we're granting no releases 161 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: for any of you guys, and then obviously Greg Norman 162 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: comes out causing the monopoly and a problem. Now, listen, 163 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: any human being, whether you run a company or whether 164 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: you're an employee, you know this the reason the NFL 165 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: can tell Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers, or the NBA 166 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: can tell Steph Curry and your honest what they can 167 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: and can't do. Those guys received W two's. Those guys 168 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: are on salary at fifty million dollars, they work for them. 169 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: If you're listening to this right now, and your W 170 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: two employee and you're doing something on the side, if 171 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: your company had a problem with that, they could talk 172 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: to you about that. But if you do get a 173 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: ten ninety nine from them, they can't legally tell you 174 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: what you can and can't do unless you sign a 175 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: contract with them, right you can do whatever else you 176 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: want on the side. I know this. I'm in business 177 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: with several different gambling entities on my different entities, and like, 178 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: when I'm on a specific entity, that's what I'm talking about. 179 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: That's what you pay for. When I go to another one, 180 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: you don't get exclusivity. Well, guess what PGA tour players are. 181 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: PGA tour players are independent contractors sole proprim they work 182 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: for themselves. They expense When Steph Curry and the Warriors 183 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: go play Memphis, if you're listening this on Wednesday on 184 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: Wednesday Night, the Warriors pay for the flight, they pay 185 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: for the lodging, they pay for the food, they pay 186 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: for it all. When Dustin Johnson goes from Florida and 187 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: he flies out to Pebble Beach, well he doesn't play 188 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: in that anymore because he goes to Audie. When he 189 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: goes out to the Riff and goes to l A, 190 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: he pays for that flight and then he pays obviously 191 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: for his housing. Now obviously in his business entity he 192 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: can write all that off. But the PGA Tour is 193 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: not paying for any of that. So they're in a 194 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: slippery slope that they will not win. I know this 195 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: for a fact. If it was in California, would be 196 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: cutting dry. The PGA Tour wouldn't have a chance on 197 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: God's green Earth to fight this. Now Florida, I still 198 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: think federally you can't. If they're employees or whatever. The 199 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: exact tax term is that they the way they pay 200 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: these guys, it ain't the w two. They're not gonna 201 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: win this. These guys have the right if they want 202 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: to to go play in the Saudi League, and I 203 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: think Greg Norman deep down knows he has that. But 204 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: let's not get any of this convoluted. The only reason 205 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: live golf is a thing is because of the money. Now, 206 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: I would imagine most people listening understand that it's ain't 207 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: the golf, It ain't Greg Norman, it ain't the set up, 208 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: it ain't the smaller fields. It's the hash because if 209 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: their cash was not there or small, no one would 210 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: give a ship, no one would play. But they're offering 211 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: all this money. It's why all these older guys are going. 212 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: It makes sense. The young guys who are making so 213 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: much money on the PGA Tour, Justin Thomas, Jordan Speed, 214 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson, you name it, Calin more Cow, they don't 215 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: need to. But if they weren't making as much money, 216 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: they'd have to be interested. I've never blamed anyone for 217 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: being interested. The only thing I question is the guy 218 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: like Sergio Garcia who's actually still playing well, why he'd 219 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: want to do this. Maybe's just tired of the PGA Tour, 220 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: which you're allowed to be. Tiger is so rich. It 221 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: doesn't even matter. Same with Jordan's speed, same with Justin Thomas. 222 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: It's easy for them to say. But this notion that 223 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: the PGA tour, like I I do think Greg Norman 224 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: and obviously he's backed by a ton of cash, is 225 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 1: gonna win this fight. They're gonna have to grant these 226 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: guys releases. Now. Then you can, you know, fight the 227 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: legalities of the actual contracts you signed with your independent contractors. 228 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: But they can't control whether these guys go play over 229 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: there or not. That's just not gonna They're they're gonna lose, 230 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: and Jay probably knows that. He's just hoping to fight 231 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: him in court. The problem is, and you learn this 232 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: when you go into business for yourself, you can't sue 233 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: anyone that doesn't have money. You know, when you go 234 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: into business for yourself, more than likely, early on you're 235 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: gonna get fucked. And who knows, as you get older, 236 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: the bigger you get, you might get screwed again. It's 237 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: just a nature of life, and it's always to me 238 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: a good life lesson. Sometimes getting screwed it helps teach 239 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: you a good lesson in business, what to look for 240 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: and what not to look for. But one thing I 241 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: learned early on, and I was taught this, but until 242 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: you experience it like this guy owes me thirty seven 243 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, how do I get it? Well, if that 244 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: guy has no money or has come you can't sue 245 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: a poor person they have nothing to give you. No 246 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: different than you don't want to get into a legal 247 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: fight with someone with unlimited money, because even if I 248 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: sue someone and I'm right, if that guy has fifty 249 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: x the resources, I'm not gonna win in court because 250 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: courts not about right and wrong. It's all about money. 251 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: Who has the most money, That's that's all it's about. 252 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: It's of course never been around. The legal system is 253 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: not about right and wrong at all. It's all about cash, 254 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: and the more you have, the more resources and the 255 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: better opportunity you have to win in the courtroom. And 256 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: Greg Norman, if these people are willing to finance them 257 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: has an unlimited amount, the PGA tour just simply does not. 258 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: Now they would have sponsors that might chip in if 259 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: they were threatened to take their big players, but they're 260 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: big players aren't leaving yet. So if I'm well as 261 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: far ago where I'm FedEx why would I help j 262 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: fight this if we're not really losing anything to our 263 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: television product, which we pay so much for. But that 264 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: could turn into that because if this league does take 265 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: off and a guy like Sergio Garcia makes twenty five 266 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: million dollars, or film makes fifteen million dollars, or Lee 267 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: Westwood and you're Scottie Scheffler and you have I'm not saying, 268 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm just using him as example. Have this year where 269 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: you win five tournaments, you win two majors, and all 270 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: you make and you don't win the FedEx and all 271 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: you make is thirteen million dollars. Sergio wins relive events 272 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: and finish the second overall and makes thirty five million dollars. 273 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: Like what am I doing? So it's we're only just 274 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: getting started, and uh, I had this theory. Sometimes I've 275 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: been known to take an edible or two. It helps 276 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: open up my mind. The only downfalls it makes me 277 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: really hungry, and I don't have the discipline to not eat, 278 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: and I'm a sucker for sweets. But one thing it 279 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: does is it really you know, I I gotta the 280 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: capable mind, but it just if I'm just sitting there normally, 281 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't always open up when that opens up and 282 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: I'm watching golf or just anything, it really helps me 283 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: create topics for shows. So honestly, why I've always loved 284 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: Coward because he's a deep thinker and his takes are 285 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: just so much different than just meathead sports that that 286 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: at this point in time in my life kind of 287 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: bores me. Now. I like some like game reaction stuff, 288 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: but just I can't just do you know, it's the 289 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: third inning. He didn't bun Like, I just don't even care. 290 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: I like being pushed for thought and Coward is the best, 291 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: So why to go? And I try to patent my 292 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: style off stuff like that, try to just think of 293 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: things that not anyone that you know, there's wow, I've 294 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: never heard that before. And I was thinking actually last 295 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: week about Tiger Woods. What made him such a great player? Right? 296 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: You know, middle lower middle class from southern California. Southern 297 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: California is is sunny three I played when I played 298 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: l A Country Club the game the day before forty 299 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: Niners Rams Week eighteen, I was sweating. It's incredible. It's 300 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: kind of crazy that U, C, l A and USC 301 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: aren't power programs. Their weather is perfect year round. That's 302 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: why Arizona State dominates. You can play golf seven days 303 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: a week, fifty two weeks a year. Right, It's it's 304 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: a huge disadvantage in Michigan or Philly or in some 305 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: of these states. Right. Well, Tiger Woods grew up in 306 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: a place where you can play golf NonStop, and then 307 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: he went to college. I was playing golf over the weekend, 308 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: and I'm in the East Bay, where we have much 309 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: warmer and nicer weather than San Francisco or Monterey, and 310 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: it was freezing cold, and it was May six or seven. 311 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: But if you've ever gone to Monterey, where Pebble is, 312 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: where Cypress is, where spyglasses, whether it's January one or 313 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: July thirty one, it doesn't matter. You can get freezing cold, misty, 314 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: windy days. It is cold golf. San Francisco, same thing. 315 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: Olympic Club, Harding Park, this s F Country Club, Right, 316 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: those courses where all these guys play, whether you go 317 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: to Stanford or cow creates your game, right. So Tiger 318 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: and granted, he's a lot different than these new age 319 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: guys because he grew up playing blades and per Simmons 320 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: and the technology hadn't changed. So he's a golf shot 321 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: maker who then got strong and used power. But he 322 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: learned to play in the elements, because at Stanford you're 323 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: playing in the Monterey area and the San Francisco area 324 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: a lot. Think of Colin Morricawa, think about the two 325 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: tournaments he won. TPC Harding Park is not your normal 326 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: municipal course, even like Tory Pines, which has some parallels 327 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: because the fog and the coal. TPC Harding Park is 328 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: much colder than Tory Pines that you can have in 329 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: the middle of summer, in the middle of winter forty 330 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: degree days where the ball is not flying. Now, obviously 331 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: Colin and Maxihoma playing at Cow you would play that course. 332 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: But he thrived in that now he was on with 333 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: his irons and hit the great shot on sixteen. But 334 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: both those guys all three tiger Woods, Colin Morikawa, Maxima, 335 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: all from Los Angeles, yet they're all good, tough golf 336 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: course players. Obviously, Tiger is the greatest of all time 337 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: when it comes to playing in the conditions. I've heard 338 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 1: Stevie Williams say that that's not my opinion. But when 339 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: you watch Colin Morrikawa and specifically Maxihima, think of where 340 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: he wont now he's from l A. But riv is 341 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: a tough course. What we just witnessed at TPC Potomac, 342 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: I'm probably saying that wrong. In Washington Sea last weekend 343 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: was incredible to watch. I felt I was watching like 344 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: a mini us Open. I love that style of golf. 345 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: I love watching guys get their as kicked because the 346 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: cream really rises. Where if I'm in a birdie fest 347 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: where two d is gonna win it, well, if my 348 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: putters on and my my wedges are on, I might 349 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: get a couple of birdies that I would not normally get. 350 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: That was you had to play elite golf, and Max 351 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: Holma did, and I think a huge benefit of that. 352 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: And Max holm is not some random guy. He's obviously 353 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: not what Tiger Woods was as a young player. And 354 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: even more Kawa. He did win the n C Double 355 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: a Championship Individual award, like he won it as an 356 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: individual when he was in college. So did Tiger, so 357 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: did Phil, so did Bryson. Like elite guys have won 358 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: that tournament, Matt Matt Wolfe did several years ago. But 359 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: when I watched Maxihoma, I watched a guy who translates 360 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: to tough golf course, and when you translate to tough 361 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: golf courses, you're gonna win. And it's not random that 362 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: he's got more wins than like John rom and kept 363 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: getting guys like that over the last four years because 364 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: when he goes to tough golf courses and now in 365 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: the elements, and obviously his game's really rounding into form, 366 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: but that ship translates everywhere. It's like a good defense 367 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: in a run game. If I have a number one 368 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: defense and a number one running game, I'm gonna be 369 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: able to play just about anywhere in any element and 370 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: hang whether it's in the sun or whether it's in 371 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: the freezing cold in Baltimore. Let's go all the chance. 372 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: If I got Max Hooma's game, whether we're playing the 373 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: Open or whether we're playing in Florida. Obviously the grass 374 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: a little bit different. But if I'm playing well, like 375 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: I can hang with anybody. Uh. Cool to see Big 376 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: MAXI Holma fan who isn't really quick on Matt Wolfe. 377 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: He mentioned something last week and it's good to see 378 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: him back because to me, he's a true blue chipper 379 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: and he was in the class of more Kawa and 380 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: Hoveland did his attitude. You know, he clearly got into 381 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: a weird mental spot right where I. I I do think 382 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: golf is very unique just in general. I remember being 383 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: in high school and all my friends played baseball. It 384 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: was like it felt very lonely. Even the guys on 385 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: my golf team, like they weren't necessarily my close friends. 386 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: So you just like I never wanted to practice because 387 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: I wasn't really hanging out with my friends. I like practicing. 388 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: I go play thirty six holes by myself, no problem, 389 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: turn on some tunes, a podcast, if I got a 390 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: course to myself, boom and play. I love playing golf 391 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: with myself, but when I was young, I did not. 392 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: So you have to learn to be because I was 393 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: actually I mean, I'm social now, but much more sociable, 394 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: you know, probably between eighteen and you really you gotta 395 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: be very independent, and if you're not independent, it can 396 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: be it can be difficult. And clearly Hovland and Morikawa 397 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: transition better, whether it's their team regardless. Now they were 398 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: playing a little bit better, but it was tough for 399 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: Matt Wolf, and I think the PJA lifestyle got to 400 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: him and he battled just negative thoughts and he mentioned 401 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: something that remember I think it was the players where 402 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: he threw a club in the water, and he even said, like, 403 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: one thing I had to look internally is like I 404 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: was messing up my playing partners, and that's kind of 405 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: a scumbag move. My my negative attitude was distracting other 406 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: guys I was land with. And I just think in general, 407 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: I have I have some negative tendencies. I would say 408 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: most of my life i've leaned negative. That was always 409 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: my negative. And I would say the last three or 410 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: four years specifically when I just kind of went into 411 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: business for myself, you kind of got to be optimistic 412 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: because if you're negative all the time, like the world's 413 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: negative enough, things are tough enough. But if you're always 414 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: gonna be negative, you're gonna fight an uphill battle. And golf, 415 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: like in baseball, it is hard. You're gonna fail a lot, 416 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: you're gonna miscut, you're gonna strike out. You have to 417 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: find a way to be positive. And I think the 418 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: quicker that you can have a positive attitude. And this 419 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: is cliche and cheesy. You can say it all you want, 420 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: it's as true as the day is long. You control 421 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: your attitude, So why not have a good attitude? What 422 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: what Why not have a positive outlook? You want to 423 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: be negative? Well, most people don't thrive in negativity. Some 424 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: people do, like some people can thrive in negativity. Dave 425 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: Portnoy thrives in it. Elon Musk loves the smoke, eats 426 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: it up. I first, he don't like it. It's why 427 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't get into politics stuff on Twitter. I wouldn't 428 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: like that environment. It's just too much. I don't want 429 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: the negativity coming out. I'm not numb to that. Even 430 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: though we all have thoughts or whatever. I'm not saying 431 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: I don't have negative thoughts, but I do think. And 432 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: Max Home has really talked about this. The faster he 433 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: could switch his attitude to being positive to not go 434 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: into the negative side. It's easier to be successful. And 435 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: I respect the guy, especially at a young age, and 436 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: Matt wolf getting that. That's why I kind of like him. One. 437 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw like twenty five dollars on him this 438 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: week because Matt Wolfe ninety one, who Matt Matt Wolfe 439 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: is gonna have a big comeback. He's gonna win a 440 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: tournament in the next year or two. And you'renna be like, 441 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: what happened to Yeah, he's he's an elite player. This guy, 442 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: if he was an NFL or NBA player, he would 443 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: have been a top two or three pick like he 444 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: was that and then his rookie year, he went like 445 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: Rookie of the year. Remember he he finished second at 446 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: TVC Harding Park, tomorroc Cow he finished second playing with 447 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: Bryson at wingfoot Like this guy ain't just some talent 448 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: but doesn't like this guy is a player. And last 449 00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: but not least, Joe Buck and the Man and Cat 450 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna do it next week. One thing that makes 451 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: football really unique when you do the Manning cast on 452 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: Monday night, is no other games or planned, so he 453 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: could have and he did players on NonStop. It's like 454 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers. You could have a coach if 455 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: you want. You can have anybody the whole league beside 456 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: the people playing. You have access to write former players. 457 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: In golf, especially in the majors, everyone's playing. So when 458 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: the when the people are on the course, what are 459 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: you gonna do? Like you're gonna have You can't have 460 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods he's playing. You can't have Phil Mickelson he's playing, 461 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: or he's on the range or whatever. It's not like, well, 462 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: he played last week, we can get him this week. 463 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: So I don't think it works in golf. Just like 464 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: I haven't watched anything they've done. Apple TV has done 465 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: the baseball I've just seen. The reaction is terrible. It 466 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: only works for football because it's one three hour event 467 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: a golf day. Like if you do it on Saturday 468 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: or Sunday is five and a half hours long. You 469 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: don't have enough content besides just showing the show beside 470 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: hanging out. I think it's very, very difficult. Now I 471 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: understand Joe. What's Joe buck gonna say no? They just 472 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: paid him fifteen million dollars a year. I would say 473 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: yes too. I just don't think it's feasible unless you 474 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: can have like your partner's Phil Mickelson, and then you 475 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: might as well just have the broadcast. But I do 476 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: think football everyone's trying to copy this Manning cast. There 477 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: is no copying the Manning cast. First and foremost it's 478 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: Peyton freaking Manning and then his little brother who beat 479 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: Tom Brady twice in the Super Bowl. So the Mannings 480 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: are two of the most famous brothers in the history 481 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: of sport, and they're just doing one three hour event 482 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: with four guests who are always very topical, and usually 483 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: two or three of them played the previous week. So 484 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, let's have J. J. Watt, Hey, let's 485 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: have Davante Adams, Hey let's have and then you mix 486 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: in some actors and stuff. Now you'll be able to 487 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: mix in famous people that like golf. But I don't 488 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: know if it's quite the same. I really don't so. 489 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: I I again not trying to be digging if here 490 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: I'm positive Pete, but I don't see that working, just 491 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: like I don't see it working with any of these 492 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: sports like basketball. It ain't working. It doesn't work.

I don't know, because he's 497 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,239 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Do you think the NBA ratings would go 498 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 1: up if I told you?

I 548 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: thought the PJA Championship was this week. Turns out its 549 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: next week. But then once we're there, then we got 550 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: a month and another major. Than a month and another major. 551 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: Back with Jason Sobel Mr Golf.

You can also 554 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: Links and Locks podcast on the Action Network fall on Twitter. 555 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: He writes a fantastic preview. I would imagine you've already 556 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: done a little research for next week Southern Hills, and 557 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: then we're not far away from the U S Open. 558 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: So you're you're hitting busy season now, Sobel, what's up John, Yeah, 559 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: it's getting a little bit. It's always busy. It's golf season. 560 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: Golf season is January through December, and then we take 561 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,959 Speaker 1: a day off from Christmas and starts over again, so 562 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: it's always busy season. I do like the fact that 563 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: he's stuck in there. I have a radio show and 564 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: you actually listen for a little bit us like, well, 565 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: I actually was. I appreciate that. Wow, I didn't. I 566 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: didn't mean like that. I'm just you know, I'm not 567 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: in the car that much to what I'm in the 568 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: car flipping around, and you guys on Mondays are always 569 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, b s and about the future odds, and 570 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: I like that stegment about I'm a serious PGA tour radio. 571 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: Come on, I appreciate it, I really do. Before we 572 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: dive into this week, you know, I had a theory 573 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: I talked about earlier on the podcast that if you 574 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: throw in three l A guys or Southern California guys. 575 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if tires technically l A, but more 576 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: Cowa and Homer are obviously tiger Southern California. They both 577 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: I'm a northern California guys. They both went to calin Stanford, 578 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: and the one thing you've been to all these major 579 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: tournaments over the years, from Monterey up to San Francisco, 580 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: it's kind of unique climate for California golf. So these guys, 581 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: because they're so damn good in their youth, get to 582 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: play all the suite courses in southern California. But when 583 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: they come to college from p Bubowl the Spyglass up 584 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: to the San Francisco courses, they get used to the 585 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: tough conditions. And you saw, you know, Colin Wynn hard Harding, 586 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: which is unique. I mean he played that in college. 587 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: But Max at this tournament last week, the conditions turned 588 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: like US Open meets British Open. It was crazy and 589 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: he was felt pretty comfortable in it. Now, I'm not 590 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: saying that's all because of Cal, but what do you 591 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: think about that theory? Those guys playing Stanford and Cal 592 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: just get to play a lot of the golf course 593 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: in San Francisco, which is cold golf in the summer. 594 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: I was all prepared to swat your theory like I 595 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: was an NBA center and you were coming down the 596 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: lane and Utumbo, I can't do it. No, I actually 597 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: like the theory. That's pretty good. They're home on the 598 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: One thing I kept thinking about him on Saturday and 599 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: Sunday when I was watching is the old accent they use. 600 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: You've got to feel comfortable with feeling uncomfortable. Those looked 601 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: like and I wasn't on site for the Wells Fargo 602 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: this past weekend, but those looked like the most uncomfortable 603 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: with their conditions. You can have a tough, kind of 604 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: long slog of a golf course. You know, there's nothing 605 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: like fun about that golf course, just hard, and then 606 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: you're dealing with wind and rain and cold and all 607 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: this stuff kind of hitting you and you're just never 608 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: going to be comfortable in Maximuma essentially won that golf 609 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: tournament because he looked and felt more comfortable than everybody 610 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: else in those surroundings. Yeah. I mean I think sometimes 611 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: you watch RIV or you watch TPC Scottsdale, You're like, 612 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: I want to go play golf. You watch that, You're like, 613 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: I just want to drink. I don't want to pay. 614 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: I mean, that was but let's let's stick to Max 615 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, he was a guy who 616 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: won the n C Double A Championship years ago. He 617 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: was obviously, you know, played a cow really good program, 618 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: but it was tough for him early on. Now he's 619 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: really hitting a stride like he's a really really good player. 620 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: I mean, is this are we talking a future Ryder 621 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: Cup President Cup type guy? It feels like he's gonna 622 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,719 Speaker 1: be in that mix for years to come. I think 623 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: we're at the point now where it would be a 624 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: surprise he's not on the President's Cup team this year. 625 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: Remember they go by points based on the PGA Tour 626 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: season because the President's Cup is run by the p 627 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: g A Tour. He's now got two wins this season, 628 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: so uh, some of the other guys, there's gonna have 629 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: to be twelve other players who who makes some serious 630 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: in roads to knock Home out of this list and 631 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: almost got to do absolutely nothing from here on in. 632 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: I think it's almost not quite a done deal, but 633 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: it would be very surprising if he's not on that 634 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: team as far as moving forward, I don't know. I 635 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: love his conversion right though. And this is something I 636 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: brought up Sunday on Twitter, the fact that Max Holman 637 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: now has sixteen career top tens, six career top fives 638 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,479 Speaker 1: and four wins. That's an unbelievable conversion. Right, there are 639 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: a lot of players out there who if they could 640 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: win of their top tens john I mean you're talking 641 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: about Hall of Fame careers. I mean any of these guys. 642 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how many top tens Dustin Johnson has 643 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: in his career, but if you want to order of 644 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:05,479 Speaker 1: them something, I mean, you know, that would be a 645 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of victories. So the fact that essentially almost 646 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: every time Max Homa gets himself into contention, he wins 647 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: a golf tournament on the p G a tour that 648 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: speaks volumes about how comfortable he is on the back 649 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: nine in contention on a Sunday afternoon. And I would 650 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: say the tournament he won last year when he beat 651 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: Tony I mean, you win at riv in those conditions 652 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: and then you win that, Like, that's pretty clear. His 653 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: major record isn't great, but he's only been a really 654 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: top end player now for a short period of time. 655 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: I would say it feels like he should contend in 656 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: majors in the next five years if he continues playing well. Right, 657 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: I'd also venture to say that we should look at 658 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: him as maybe a match play player for these Presidents 659 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: Cup and Ryder Cup opportunities he has coming up, because 660 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: you just brought it up there. He beat Tony fen 661 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: Now in a playoff at riv last year. Really surprising 662 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: stuff on the tennent ball, there's start to draw. Uh. 663 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: He essentially was Mono Almana against Keegan Bradley at TBC 664 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: Potoma's past weekend and won that one. So he's not 665 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: a guy that necessarily backs down, let's say, one on 666 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: one situation, So I think that vodes well for him 667 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 1: in those team competitions as well. Yeah, he hasn't played 668 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: great major championships. I'm not sure I necessarily love him 669 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: at the p GA next week. But you mentioned the 670 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,479 Speaker 1: Wells Fargo almost looking like a mini US Open last 671 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: week with the tough conditions. Hey, next next month US 672 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: Open at the country Club in Brookline, I think we're 673 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 1: gonna see some of those players, including Maxima, who are 674 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: on the leaderboard this past weekend, on the leaderboard again 675 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: in Brookline. What you say, Keegan will be another name 676 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on, maybe not to win it, 677 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: but a top tennis I mean he's playing pretty well. 678 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure he's in, Yet I think he's 679 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: still gotta get in. I don't know if that runner 680 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: up tied for runner up finish got a man and 681 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: maybe it hurt him making bogey on the last it 682 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: like yet solo runner up, Uh locked up for the 683 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: entire day and wound up in a three way tie, 684 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: So I'm not even sure he's that Matt Fitzpatrick. Bill 685 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 1: was the guy that I look at from that leaderboard 686 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: and granted, everyone the entire world is gonna be on 687 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 1: Matt Fitzpatrick. He plays tough golf courses really well. He's 688 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: better with the score, is closer in relation to bar 689 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: than when it's a birdie fest. And then he happened 690 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: to win the US Amateur nine years ago at that 691 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: very sight of the country club, So everybody's gonna be 692 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: on him for that one. Um makes me almost want 693 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: to get off him a little bit, but there's a 694 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: lot of sense in picking him for that one as well. Well. 695 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: Speaking about match playing, an absolute um Ryder Cup matchplay 696 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: legend would be Sergio Garcia and Uh, he had a 697 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: little bit of a blow up that went viral, not 698 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: because people don't get mad at rules officials, but because 699 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: of what he was, you know, muttering under his breath, 700 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: as clearly cameras were there. What was your take on 701 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: that whole situation? So I get Look, Sergio is right 702 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: and the rules official is wrong, and the PGA Tour 703 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: um basically offered a, if not an apology, at least 704 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 1: sort very a retraction later on in the day that 705 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: said it wasn't about Sergio sort of voicing his displeasure. 706 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,800 Speaker 1: It was about what Sergio, how he voiced his displeasure, 707 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: is about what he said, which was, I can't wait 708 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: to get off this tour in a few weeks. I 709 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: can't wait to go play golf somewhere else. As if 710 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: the rules official on the Saudi based Live Tour will say, Hey, Sergio, 711 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: whatever you wanna do. I just don't understand the thought 712 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: process of like, hey, yeah, the guys from Saudi Arabia, 713 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: those guys are are very giving, Those guys are are 714 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: very gentle with the players. Those guys are very open 715 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: and and and find different interpretations. Look, it's still golf. 716 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: In fact, the Live Tour higher in a former PGA 717 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: Tour rules official to run all of their tournament committee 718 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: stuff and rule stuff, so it's still going to be 719 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: the same thing. I don't understand where Sergio is going 720 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: with that. Granted, it's not like Sergio stood in front 721 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: of cameras and a microphone and said that Sergio is 722 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: playing eight teen holes, isn't the win and where he's 723 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,919 Speaker 1: on TV or radio and he doesn't know what's being said, 724 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: what's being heard. But still for you to say that 725 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: anywhere in a public forum, um just sort of suggest 726 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: that I don't think he quite understands what he's getting into. 727 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: If he thinks, oh, yeah, I'm gonna go over there, 728 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: They're just gonna let me do whatever I want, it'll 729 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 1: be fine. Uh. When you cover the NFL like I do, 730 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: you just you get used to Instagram and tweets and 731 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: what they actually mean. You gotta read between the lines. Well, 732 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: the PGA Tour, i think it was yesterday, tweeted out 733 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: Tigers in the PGA Championship. But the story yesterday was 734 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 1: Tiger and Phil We're in the PGA Championship. But the 735 00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: PGA Tour did not mention Phil Nicholson, you know, So 736 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: it's it's safe to say they're not on the same 737 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: wave length. But it's pretty clear the defending champion, who 738 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: had beside Tiger's nineteen probably the most impressive major and 739 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 1: recent memory of winning that thing. Looks like he's gonna play. 740 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: What are your expectations assuming he's gonna play, Is that 741 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: gonna be? Are they can you avoid the media like 742 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 1: another sports you can take fines and avoid the media. 743 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: Clearly everyone's gonna want to talk to him. What's your 744 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: expectations going into next week? Yeah? So, first of all, 745 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: neither Tiger nor Phil have ever not been in the 746 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 1: PGA Championship. As past champions, they are invited and qualified 747 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: to be in the field, and so essentially they have 748 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,320 Speaker 1: filled out some paperwork saying yes, I'm gonna go play, 749 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: the same thing they did for the U S Open. 750 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they're necessarily playing. God, I mean, Phil 751 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,919 Speaker 1: at this very moment could be calling up Seth Wall, 752 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: the CEO for the PGA of America, saying, you know what, 753 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: I'm just not Randy and I don't want to go 754 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: through all this stuff. I'm not gonna do it. That said, 755 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: I'm a little more on the side that Phil's going 756 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: to play. I've said along Tiger's playing, and Tiger with 757 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: the masters, why wouldn't he a month and a half 758 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: later played the PGA Championship. He went, they're a scouting mission, 759 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 1: for goodness sakes, I mean hes in the four Majors, 760 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 1: Tigers in the four Majors. He's not. He's not going 761 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 1: to Southern Hills, taking the director of golf there as 762 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: his caddy, and then afterwards saying thanks, that was really fun. 763 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate you take me out there. I'm not gonna 764 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: play PG but man, it was cool coming back. No, 765 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: he's doing that for a reason. Uh, it's for Phil. Look, 766 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: everything about Phil has been a guest in my mind 767 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 1: of the last two or three months. If he does 768 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: come back, I can tell you two things. Uh. Seth 769 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:42,240 Speaker 1: Waw spoke with Gary Williams, who co hosted my series 770 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: x MPGA Tour radio show with me last week and 771 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: told me of the conversation that Seth has been in 772 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: constant communication with Phil, that this won't be a surprise 773 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: to them if he does say yes, I will be there, 774 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: I will play And you know this isn't you know, 775 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: he's not gonna just swoop in and say hey, I'm here. 776 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,879 Speaker 1: You know, what are you gonna do? Now? This is um, Yeah, 777 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: this is gonna be something they do do in concert. 778 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,760 Speaker 1: The second part of this is that Phil very much, 779 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: we'll have to have a press conference to get everything 780 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 1: out of the way. First of all, Phil will sit 781 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 1: down with the media Monday afternoon. Tuesday morning, you will 782 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: answer questions for half an hour. Uh, you will sit 783 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: in front of the cameras and microphones. And then after 784 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 1: that the end of it, you may say, this is 785 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 1: the last I'm going to speak of all this stuff 786 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: for this week. I want to focus on Dolphin as 787 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 1: a journalist. I'm fine with that you do that. I'm 788 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: completely fine with Thursday, after the opening round, Hey tell 789 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: us about that Bertie on six. That's fine because we've 790 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 1: already had our shot to ask him those questions. And 791 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: so I do know PGA of America wants him to 792 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: do that. They would like him to get out in 793 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 1: front of it and not take away from the spotlight 794 00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: of being a defending champion and playing in a major championship. 795 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:06,760 Speaker 1: Let's dive into the Byron ELPs because I was reading 796 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: you liked a guy that Withdrew on Monday, Eric van 797 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,359 Speaker 1: Roy and who's been playing good golf. You know those 798 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: those joggers, you know, convert to a lot of birdies. John. 799 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this job is hard enough. I don't need 800 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,800 Speaker 1: this time. You know. I spent most of my Sunday afternoon, 801 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: Sunday evening into the wee hours of Sunday night researching, studying, 802 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: going over the place that I like, Okay, this is 803 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 1: what I want to do, this is how I wanted 804 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: to Monday morning, the odds come out and I start 805 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 1: putting guys different spots. Now, Van Roy, it was it 806 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: was less about him personally. He just kind of represented 807 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,239 Speaker 1: this sort of fifty to one to eighty to one 808 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: range that I really liked, and I picked him and 809 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: I said I really like About two hours after I 810 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: said I really like him, he said, you know what, 811 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play out of here. So man, you know, 812 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 1: I could have just sat around and waited until Monday night. 813 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, I'm trying to help the people, try to 814 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,359 Speaker 1: put content out there. But I quickly went to let 815 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,760 Speaker 1: to let to lead. All right, let's move some things around, 816 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: and got some other games in there. I'm with you 817 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: a little bit like last week. I like the long garage, 818 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: but I would say the difference this week, which gives 819 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 1: me a little pause, is you you have Moonos who 820 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: is seventy to one on Van Duel, but Scheffler Justin 821 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 1: Thomas Jordan's speed, Dustin Johnson sam Burns, who almost won 822 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 1: this thing last year, is in this feels like this 823 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,360 Speaker 1: fields pretty good. But you've been around these guys the 824 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: week before a major. Is it a balance for some 825 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: of these guys more honing it in and they don't 826 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: even mind missing the cuts so they can just get 827 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 1: there and get ready by Sunday afternoon? Would you say? 828 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: I think what it is is for most of these 829 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 1: players that something. Young guys Scottie, Cheffler, sam Burns were like, Yeah, 830 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go play golf in the next week. 831 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: I'll go to the next place to us whatever. Not 832 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: a huge deal, um, But I think what it is is, Look, 833 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm either let me get into serious contention and try 834 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: to win this golf tournament, or let me just you know, 835 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 1: Boge the last has three holes on Friday afternoon, get 836 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: on a plane and go straight to Southern Hills. Get 837 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,760 Speaker 1: a couple more days of rest and recovery and relaxation 838 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: before the major championship. You don't want to be the 839 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 1: guy who's you know, I'm I'm third in the world, 840 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: known world class player. I have a chance of winning 841 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: major next week. I'm Justin Thomas or Dustin Johnson or 842 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:25,280 Speaker 1: whoever we could. Yeah, and you don't want to fish 843 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: in forty first place? Like that's that's sort of the 844 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: worst possible scenario. It's like, either let me be in 845 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: the mix, let me feel the heat of that battle, 846 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,760 Speaker 1: or let me just miss it all together. The worst 847 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,400 Speaker 1: thing is just finishing way down the leaderboard. That said, look, 848 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: there are a bunch of those guys near the top 849 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,240 Speaker 1: that are obviously good plays. This week, I was asked 850 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: on another podcast, I did, Hey, what do you think 851 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 1: of Scotty Scheffler at even money for a top ten 852 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 1: this week? I said, you know, for all the analyzation 853 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 1: and over annalyzation and the thoughts and the overthinking that 854 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: we do, if someone is gonna, you know what, to 855 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 1: take my entire bank goll and putting on Scotty Scheffler 856 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: even money top ten this week? You yeah, Okay, that 857 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 1: makes a whole lot of sense. I don't think I 858 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: talked anyone out of that. I like DJ as well. Uh, 859 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 1: interesting that vandals got a pretty good number on Wills 860 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: out dorks plus out there don't have quite a number 861 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: that big, so I don't mind that I've been waiting 862 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 1: for will e Z to win that first one. He's 863 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 1: coming in on the heels of three really good finishes, 864 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: so I can see that as well. DJ is another 865 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: guy that's starting to trend in the right direction. First 866 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: event as a married uh Man for Dustin Johnson. This 867 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,400 Speaker 1: week got narrative street again. I don't know, you know, 868 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 1: Max Hollman talked about having all the perspective quote unquote 869 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: after winning the Wells Fargoes. Those are some of the 870 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: names of the topic. I like it's funny. I would 871 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 1: imagine most people that know about DJ and Paulina assumed 872 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: they've been married for eight years, right, you know, and 873 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 1: assume themselves. I'm not sure. So you know, last week 874 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 1: we was like a major championship. This week under one 875 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: three guys that I wrote, Dann you obviously picked Moon one, 876 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 1: Davis Riley s to one, Aaron Wise fifty five to one. 877 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 1: Talk about those guys at this course. Yeah, again, I 878 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,720 Speaker 1: think it's, first of all, just a nice sweet spot 879 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: in that range below the top tier. But you're not 880 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 1: dipping down to guys who are. It's not complete long shots. 881 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 1: Each of those players is really super talented, good iron players. Essentially, 882 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: it comes down to, and I was looking at stats earlier, 883 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: the top sixteen on the leaderboard last year everyone shot 884 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 1: seventeen under or better. They were all positive strokes, game 885 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: pudding for the week. So it's gonna come down to 886 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: you're rolling some butts, you're gonna be up there on 887 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 1: the leaderboard, and if you don't, then you don't really 888 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:48,759 Speaker 1: have a chance. You're gonna have to make a whole 889 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 1: bunch of butts. But at least those three players you 890 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,440 Speaker 1: just mentioned all really good iron players. I'm looking for 891 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 1: those guys. Jonathan Vegas is another name, Lanto Griffin another 892 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,800 Speaker 1: guy right in that range. I'm looking for those guys 893 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: to at least put themselves in positions to go make 894 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: those birdies. And the guys that of that group who 895 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 1: will at the best, are gonna have a chance of 896 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,720 Speaker 1: winning the thing. One name I wrote down as norn 897 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: to one who's good iron player and Putter has to 898 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 1: get hot. And Jason Day, who played really well last 899 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: week beside the one day, you know he's a guy 900 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,399 Speaker 1: if Putter gets hot. But it's you know, the back, 901 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: the warm weather with the back though it might help, right, 902 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 1: that could help. I don't love Day. I still don't 903 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: think it's a big enough number for me to chase 904 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 1: you now for talking about Uh about popular guys, but 905 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: have a big number next to their name and guys 906 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 1: who were coming off a pretty good week and starting 907 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 1: to turn things around, And said Jason Day looking at 908 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,359 Speaker 1: Matthew Wolf, this is a perfect golf course for matt 909 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 1: wall I saw that number. It was interesting. I look, 910 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,799 Speaker 1: I have no idea what to expect from him on 911 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,479 Speaker 1: a weekly basis. I didn't see it coming last week. 912 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,240 Speaker 1: But if it is indeed starting to come around for him, yeah, 913 00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 1: I mean he's a guy with a tremendous amount of 914 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:05,280 Speaker 1: town one thing on him specifically. You know, it's clearly 915 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,560 Speaker 1: he didn't transition. Just the grind of the PGA tour 916 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 1: got to him, unlike maybe Victor and UH and Colin 917 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 1: because obviously he had success to right, he finished high 918 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,479 Speaker 1: at TPC Hardy, he finished high behind Bryson, Like he's 919 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,560 Speaker 1: like elite talent. How much when you've seen over the years, 920 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 1: now with the pressure of the money on these guys, 921 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 1: the expectation is it higher than ever for the group 922 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 1: of guys consistently coming out, especially his crew. Right, those 923 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,360 Speaker 1: three guys were a lotted like top three picks in 924 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 1: NFL draft. Yeah, And I don't know if it's so 925 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,839 Speaker 1: much the external expectations as the internal expectations, Like you're 926 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 1: sort of looking at the other guys doing Man, they're 927 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,279 Speaker 1: doing it, they're winning these events. Why am I not 928 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,800 Speaker 1: doing that? And maybe you're sort of feeling your own 929 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,799 Speaker 1: internal pressure. I don't know. And you know, Matt has 930 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,840 Speaker 1: been very open about it. I spent some time with 931 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: him during Masters week, and I can tell you he 932 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 1: is as good a kid as there is out there. 933 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 1: He's friendly, he's congenial, even being around a whole bunch 934 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,760 Speaker 1: of people who are two and three times his age. 935 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 1: He just seems comfortable in the situation and just a 936 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,960 Speaker 1: nice kid. You want him to play well, so I'm 937 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,760 Speaker 1: rooting for him. I don't know how to explain where 938 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 1: the little down downfalls gone, where that little slide in 939 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,919 Speaker 1: his career happened, why it's happened, But I do think 940 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,359 Speaker 1: that bait, just based on his talent level alone, we're 941 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 1: gonna see him starting to move straight back up. And 942 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a massive talent for a long time, 943 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 1: I really think. So I'm with you. What do you 944 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,360 Speaker 1: what do you got tap on tap the rest of 945 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 1: the week. So, oh man, we're just I mean, I 946 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 1: got the radio show. You might actually listen. We've got 947 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff on action networking golf that We've 948 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 1: got all our content up there so that the usual, 949 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,360 Speaker 1: you know, getting ready for p g A. Headed to 950 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 1: uh tuls Oklahoma in a couple in a week Sunday 951 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,360 Speaker 1: night flight to Tulsa, Okloma, so I can be on 952 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 1: the grounds ready to go on Monday morning. Not nice 953 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: and warm? Do you think there? I'll tell you what 954 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,320 Speaker 1: I was there. I was there gonna one for the 955 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 1: US Open. They still some we're Tief Goosen and Mark Brooks. 956 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: Still only thirty six holes of golf that I didn't 957 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 1: get to play on that Monday in Tulsa because they 958 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 1: went to an eighteen old playoff instead. I was there 959 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:21,239 Speaker 1: in oh seven when Tiger won the absolute hottest I've 960 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: ever been. If there's one argument for why the p 961 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 1: G A Championship should be held in May and not August, 962 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,399 Speaker 1: it's so that people like me don't have to uh 963 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,240 Speaker 1: go out in a hundred and fifteen degrees in Tulsa 964 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 1: in August. So I love the schedule change anyway, but 965 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,560 Speaker 1: the fact that we're going to Tulsa in May and 966 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,360 Speaker 1: not August is reason for celebration right there. We'll enjoy it. 967 00:49:44,400 --> 00:50:00,160 Speaker 1: I'll talk to you next week. Thanks, buddy, appreciate it. Okay, 968 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: let's let's get to the mail bag at go Lo Pod. 969 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 1: At go Lo Pod, fire into those d M s 970 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 1: and gave your question answer here on the show. What's 971 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,920 Speaker 1: good John, I'm your neighbor to the east here in 972 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 1: Lake Tahoe. Love me something like Taho. I'm slowly getting 973 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,279 Speaker 1: to play around some of the premier courses here with 974 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,480 Speaker 1: the Tahoe Basin, and they are downright breathtaking at times. 975 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,800 Speaker 1: I've never played golf in Tahoe, but I've heard it's incredible. However, 976 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 1: this weekend I played around in my favorite course in 977 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:32,960 Speaker 1: the area, Apple Mountain, located in Camino, California, basically Plasterville One. 978 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 1: Have you played it? I have not. If yes, how 979 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: do you score there? And what are your thoughts in 980 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,359 Speaker 1: the place? Coming down from the land on the Monster Pine, 981 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,839 Speaker 1: It's surprisingly stunning for me. The vast diversity, everything from 982 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,760 Speaker 1: the eucalypsus to the palm to the pond ponda rosa pines. 983 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,959 Speaker 1: I saw an entire fox family, a dozen of goblin turkeys, 984 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 1: and a pregnant dough so swollen or titties we're dragging 985 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 1: to the ground. This is this is a good one. 986 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,959 Speaker 1: The blooming fly Hours. I'm gonna write this down. What's 987 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 1: it called Apple Mountain? This is why we have it. 988 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 1: I have not played it, but I love to hear 989 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 1: your thoughts. I I really want to. You made it 990 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 1: sound pretty incredible. One thing we have here in California. 991 00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 1: We have fantastic golf. We really do. Question for the podcast, 992 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,279 Speaker 1: big fan of the show, can you break down your 993 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 1: top five bucket lit list courses to play that are 994 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 1: open to the regular public? Okay, I have Augusta would 995 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:39,440 Speaker 1: be out then so with like Pain's Valley, Um, so 996 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 1: would Riviera. It's a private course. I would go. No. 997 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,719 Speaker 1: I have never played Pebble Beach, and that's I mean, 998 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,000 Speaker 1: I I could. It's not like I can't afford it, 999 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,880 Speaker 1: even though I mean I've never paid six dollars for golf, 1000 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 1: but I guess I would. I've been there a million times. 1001 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I've played it, but I would say 1002 00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 1: Pebble would be one. I would say Beth pay Black, 1003 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 1: the they played the US Open there, the PGA Championship 1004 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 1: there before. Uh would be up there. Uh, I would 1005 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:15,360 Speaker 1: say TPC. What's it called the where the Players is played? 1006 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 1: I am blanking right now. My mind's not working that 1007 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 1: that would be up there, So I'd go Pebble. I 1008 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 1: would say, uh, the Players Championship Course. I can't think 1009 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 1: TPC something. UH don't know, why is my brain not working? 1010 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 1: TPC Florida, TPC Jacksonville. The fox is called Bethpage Black 1011 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,960 Speaker 1: would be very very high. I've played there before, but 1012 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 1: I want to go again. All the banded Dunes I 1013 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,000 Speaker 1: I would say, the bandon Dunes is just an incredible experience. 1014 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 1: It's it's really pretty tough to beat Bannon Dunes. It is. 1015 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 1: It's awesome. I mean it really is. Memorials a private course, 1016 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,040 Speaker 1: Chambers Bay. It's got a band in dunes Field like, 1017 00:52:58,280 --> 00:52:59,799 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty sweet. Now. I don't want to 1018 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,359 Speaker 1: old day, so I would say Pebble. I would say 1019 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: the Players. I would say Bethpage Black are ones that 1020 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,840 Speaker 1: immediately come to my mind. I haven't played, but it 1021 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:14,320 Speaker 1: looks pretty cool on TV. The Myrtle Beach where they play, 1022 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:19,400 Speaker 1: um those tournaments South Carolina, that little that little stretch, 1023 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 1: so but definitely the players Pebble and Bethpage would be 1024 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,239 Speaker 1: right up there. Just three to come to my mind. 1025 00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,400 Speaker 1: A man banker I worked with was a college golfer, 1026 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 1: as was her brother. He now works for Taylor Made. 1027 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 1: I heard your last pod, and I will see if 1028 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 1: I can link you up from merch. A bit of 1029 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: a long shot. Send him my email. Let's let's link up. 1030 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,400 Speaker 1: I'm a big tay I play Taylor Made golf Balls. 1031 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,799 Speaker 1: Nick Wattney deep sleeper. Nick Wattney, who went to the 1032 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 1: same high school I did and then he went to 1033 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,319 Speaker 1: Fresno State, had a hell of a career. I heard 1034 00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:00,320 Speaker 1: you knocking meteorologists, and I had to chime in, f y, 1035 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:05,360 Speaker 1: I I'm a former TV meteorologist. Meteorologists are actually incredibly 1036 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,399 Speaker 1: accurate given what they're really doing in predicting how an 1037 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 1: atmospheric ocean will move around us. For US, I can't 1038 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 1: even say this word. Spherical rock being funneled or being 1039 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,960 Speaker 1: fueled by different heating. Differential heating GUD this is This 1040 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 1: is tough read. As you know, predicting the future is 1041 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,919 Speaker 1: accuracy is very difficult. In fact, meteorologists are considered among 1042 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,439 Speaker 1: the best atticition predictors of any profession. Here's the rough 1043 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 1: accuracy on meteorologists one day out, three days out, five 1044 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:41,200 Speaker 1: days out, seven days out, nine days out, ten percent accuracy. 1045 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 1: Compare those odds against the batting average of Barry Bonds 1046 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,040 Speaker 1: past completion Aaron Rodgers, or shot accuracy of Michael Jordan's. 1047 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 1: If you receive a forecast, it's likely to be higherly accurate. 1048 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,279 Speaker 1: The old joke is medeologists meteorologist. The old joke about 1049 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 1: meteorologists is no longer valid. Unrelated, I think Rory mcelroyd 1050 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,440 Speaker 1: notches a win this weekend at the Wells Fargo actually 1051 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,160 Speaker 1: played pretty well if he could just improve his wedges 1052 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,279 Speaker 1: a little bit, if his wedge game was better. And 1053 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm not talking like around the greens, I'm just talking 1054 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: a hundred yards in. You watch Rory mcrory's a hundred 1055 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,040 Speaker 1: yards out, you never think he's gonna knock at five feet. 1056 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,440 Speaker 1: That to me is what really separates like JT. Jordan 1057 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,080 Speaker 1: when they're on. I think DJ has become a really 1058 00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 1: good wedge player. More Cow is a good wedge player. Again, 1059 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking approach wedges like one tan, one oh five 1060 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:31,040 Speaker 1: ninety six. It's what you know. I shot seventy seven 1061 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:32,920 Speaker 1: the other day. If I was better at that, I 1062 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,879 Speaker 1: would have shot seventy one. But I'm just not eighty 1063 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 1: eight yards ninety eight yards. It's somewhat of a guessing game. 1064 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,000 Speaker 1: But Rory is playing pretty well, so I'm rooting for him. 1065 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,080 Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's gonna be in the 1066 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 1: mix in one of these majors, which is cool, which 1067 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: is what we want. If you're ever in the d 1068 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,279 Speaker 1: C area, I would highly recommend playing at TPC where 1069 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 1: they just played. It's challenging, but it's a lot of 1070 00:55:56,719 --> 00:56:00,359 Speaker 1: fun to play. It looked so awesome on television now 1071 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,799 Speaker 1: they the weather was cold, windy, they had grown up 1072 00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,360 Speaker 1: the rough. It looked tough. Who doesn't like watching that? 1073 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,600 Speaker 1: Like this Weekend the Byron Nelson. These guys are gonna 1074 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,560 Speaker 1: shoot part, that's what won it last year. I would 1075 00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 1: much rather watch that Mother's Day sitting on the recliner 1076 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 1: with my brother, watching Max Holme and Kegan Bradley just 1077 00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:23,360 Speaker 1: throw Haymakers, I signed me up again. But I'm a 1078 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:28,360 Speaker 1: sucker for an SEC championship game wins it. I don't need. 1079 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,120 Speaker 1: I don't like my football that way. No, don't get 1080 00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,319 Speaker 1: me wrong. I like watching Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen 1081 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,840 Speaker 1: throw touchdowns. But I do like the mix up of 1082 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,440 Speaker 1: defensive performances, Guys getting lit up, guys getting tackled, guys 1083 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,319 Speaker 1: hitting out of the rough, Guys having to scramble for 1084 00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 1: par not just easy birdie after easy birdie after easy bertie. 1085 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: To me, that's not that fun. Uh So I really 1086 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,600 Speaker 1: enjoyed that. I would love to play there. Hell, you 1087 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:53,560 Speaker 1: could argue that might immediately be one of my top 1088 00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 1: five courses. What is the players? Before I get up? 1089 00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:02,440 Speaker 1: What is that is driving me nuts? The players? Of course, 1090 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,200 Speaker 1: you know when you're you know when you're TPC Sawgrass 1091 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:12,480 Speaker 1: come on, John TPC Sagress. I knew I was gonna 1092 00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 1: get it eventually. It was driving me nuts. Audios, the 1093 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 1: volume
