So we uh. 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.800 I think the storm missed our island by like one 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.000 hundred miles or so, So it was a lot closer 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.520 than I really knew. I looked one day like it 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.360 started getting windy, and then I looked at the at 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.479 the radar and saw that it was like just north 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.840 of us. I was like, well, I'm glad I didn't 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:36.880 know that it was even like that. 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.759 Close, No need to panic. 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:43.759 Yeah yeah, And then sure enough we were flying through Miami, 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:49.360 so an American and uh yeah that that flight I 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:54.280 guess still hasn't left now because of Maria hit Saint Lucia. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.000 Oh my god, you have to get a passport from there. 0:01:58.680 --> 0:01:59.200 Yeah. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.760 I would have run out of money too, because if 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.800 I had to keep staying paying the all inclusive rate, 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.120 I would have been Uh, I would have been in trouble. 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:09.320 But it was. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.960 It was a good, good little reset and uh good 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.920 to just chill out on a beach and I read 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:21.799 a bunch. Yeah, And I mean we just drank and 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.040 ate a lot too, So it was fun. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.639 That's right up my alley. That sounds fun. 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.800 So what'd you do? How'd you would you tell us 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:32.280 about evacuating? 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.320 Well, you just went up to Birmingham and hung out there. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.520 I've been there before to play a couple of golf 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.440 tournaments at the country called Birmingham, so I knew it 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:46.000 was a nice place and it was fun to drive. 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:46.519 Sucked. 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:47.679 I mean, it's like I was supposed to be a 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.959 nine hour drive. It took us seventeen there, seventeen back. 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.320 It was awful. But everything's all good down here, so 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.200 can't be can't complain. 0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.480 Everybody, uh, everybody evacuating. It's like a it'd be like 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.520 it sounds like it's like driving in Chicago rush hour 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.359 traffic for nine hours. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.000 Well, dude, the craziest thing was the gas. I mean, 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.760 if you needed gas, it was literally an hour wait. 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.080 It was insane. I've never seen anything like it. And 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.440 what scared me more is you saw cars with like 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.200 four gas canisters like tied to the back of their 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:21.760 car so they didn't have to stop them. Like if 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.120 someone rearins them, that's going to be an explosion. Like 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.519 it's just such a just scary gas situation. 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.280 That doesn't sound very safe. 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.400 No, it's not safe at all. But they're like, oh, 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.040 I don't want to wait an hour, so I'll just 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:35.600 tape it to my license plate. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.800 It sounds like a very Florida thing to do. 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.000 Oh so Florida, like seventy four dead as Florida man 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:48.520 pours gasoline on his car. You did make it back 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.880 for the BMW, though, what do you think? 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.960 Yeah, I get back, I get back on Friday morning 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.440 at a layover and in LaGuardia. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:03.600 What an awful, awful place that is, my fiance. 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.960 We got there in the morning after we flew, we 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.560 flew into JFK and I said to my fiance, I go, 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:10.240 you know, this is. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:14.040 The worst airport in America. And she goes, why, I go, 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:18.279 it's absolutely awful and you know, the people and it 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:19.599 don't make it any better. 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:21.040 Yeah, disgusting. 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.760 At like five thirty in the morning, we waited an 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.080 hour and a half for security and there was literally 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.839 forty people in front of us, and we walked through 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.360 and she goes, she goes, yeah, this is uh, this 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.320 is definitely the worst airport in America. 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:37.120 That's brutal. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.599 But BMW was good. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.280 I mean, the well it's always amazing. I think we 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.640 talked about it in our group text. But hello, these 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.960 guys shoot, of course, is like I've never thought Conway 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:57.320 Farms is easy, and yet these guys shoot like sixty 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.560 four in their sleep. The conditions were, I mean, it 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:04.960 was pretty for the greens were really firm. I think 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.280 the big thing is that there's just no you know, 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.480 real they don't have to think out there and there's 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.480 nothing you know that really puts that, you know, question 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.680 in their head, and that's kind of I don't know, 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.200 I don't know what you do to defend against these guys. 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.800 It's insane to me. I've probably played Conway, I don't know, 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.880 thirty to fifty times a lot, and I've never once 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.960 walked off the course thinking it was even medium difficulty. 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:37.839 I've always thought it's a tough course. You get through 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.799 like four or five six, and you know there's stretches 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.480 of holes where you're like, oh my god, just hold 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.920 on for dear life, don't make double. And you play well, 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.479 maybe you shoot sixty eight, sixty nine if you play 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.200 a great round for me at least, and these guys 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.040 shoot sixty two, like sixty three, and you know, if 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.200 I play bad there it's seventy six in a hurry, 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.200 you know, they're like, oh yeah, I played terrible, shot 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.000 seventy Like It's just it's it's insane, especially like to 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:03.800 see that on a golf course that I know and 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:04.920 that I think is hard. 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:07.080 Well. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:08.719 I was talking about it with a buddy of mine 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.720 and he's like, it's basically just what just Jason Day 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.080 did at Whistling. It's like you're right. I mean it's 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.080 it's not as good as Day's performance. But it's crazy 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:22.080 to put in perspective. These guys just annihilate these difficult courses. 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:22.800 It's insane. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.920 I mean they just hit it so far and so. 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.960 Straight is I mean far and Straight's good? 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.760 Yeah, Like when I drive the ball well, I shoot well, 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.640 but that's like I shoot like sixty eights and sixty nine. 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.440 But when these guys drive the ball, well, it's sixty three, 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:46.159 sixty two, sixty four. And it's just crazy because you 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:50.440 know it's what is seventy three hundred yards ish seventy 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:54.320 four and seventy four hundred yards to these guys is 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:55.880 driver wedge fest. 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.480 It's crazy. I never really, I've never thought of that. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.440 I thought there is a long course, let alone, you 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.680 know medium. It's a long golf course to me, and 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:06.840 I mean I hit it, what two seventy five. It's 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.400 not like I hit it short. I mean I hit 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.360 it short by their standards. But to me, that's a 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.320 really long golf course, a lot of four irons, and 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.960 they're just hitting you know, flip wedges. 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.720 Yeah, there's not a lot of guys. That's one of 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.960 the things I think is happening. And you see it 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.720 is with the ball in the way, how straight it goes? 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.520 Now is you see the skilled guys, the guys that 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.080 don't necessarily hit it that far but are just phenomenal 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:37.160 with every other club in their bag. They're being phased 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.160 out of professional golf, like who you know you used 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.600 to have like Jim Fiurick, for example, and like Luke 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.200 Donald was high in the rankings and. 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.119 Recently number one in the world. 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.440 Yeah, number one in the world. I mean you go 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.640 back into the era like Nick Faldo is a perfect example, 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.239 like I didn't hit it anywhere, but he had maximum. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.160 Control of his ball. He could hit it all the 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.200 shots like he wouldn't exist. 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.720 In today's game, Like if you don't hit a three 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.840 hundred and ten yards or three hundred yards see. 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.840 Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's a shame, really is I 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:17.040 think that it's it's you're eliminating, like you know, maybe 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.360 sixty percent of the people that are good enough to 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.840 be on tour or eliminated because of that, And I 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:25.480 just I don't know how to combat it. I know, 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.800 we have a question about the golf ball and all that. 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.320 I mean, you can only make a golf course so tight, 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.120 you know, I mean, what are you supposed to make 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.560 it a bowling alley with obi left ob right or 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.080 you know, water out of bounds. I'm not sure how 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.040 to fix it except probably the golf ball. I mean, 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.600 you you want to go play an eighty two hundred 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.439 yard US Open, I mean that sounds ridiculous. 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.160 And the just the fact that, like it's not a 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.439 sustainable model for a golf course. Like think about if 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.760 you have a nine thousand yard course, watering like and 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:57.520 maintenance of. 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.319 It, and oh yeah, the expenses go up dramatic. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.880 And then that nine thousand yard course is used like 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.600 once every ten years. 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.400 Right, It's it's just crazy. 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.360 It's I think the big thing is is that I 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.400 don't think narrow is the answer though, Like I know 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:18.840 I'm always banging. 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:20.920 Yeah we're a big wif guy. But I know that's 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.720 why I was thinking. That's the only answer to me 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.240 besides the golf ball. And I know you're gonna hate that, but. 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.600 Well here's my thought process is, like you could create 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.200 a really wide course that could even be short and 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:36.520 let long hitters try and drive greens all day, like 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:37.800 it could be you could. 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.040 Have a lot of three hundred and fifty yard part fours. 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.600 But let the shorter guy because long players and short players, 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.120 everybody's going to miss the fairway. You know what kills 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.360 the short players is when they miss the fairway and 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:54.080 they're hitting fore iron out of thick rough right, and 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.760 long hitters are hitting wedge like you can hit a 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.960 wedge out of thick rough. You can't hit four iron 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:04.320 not a thick rough. And I think the width thing 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.920 is interesting because what it does is it allows you know, 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.439 the bombers are going to try and drive a lot 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.360 of those greens and they're trying to up there, and 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.760 you know, especially if it can be firm and fast, 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.000 they'll get themselves in terrible spots where the shorter hitter 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.319 can play to strength, they can play to angles and 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:27.120 let their wedge game play, you know, right. So that's 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.640 kind of my thought process. I think about like the 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.679 Old Course, I mean, is a perfect example. You had 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.760 Zach Johnson when that are and it's. 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.679 The widest golf course in the world and it's all 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.880 about angles. You don't ever. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.000 Really know what the exact right way to play a 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.880 golf hole is, and depending on whatever the pin is 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.080 it's dramatically different day to day. 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.319 It's the same. You see the same at Augusta. It's 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.160 a little bit less than it used to be. But 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.160 those are two of the best championship golf courses ever. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:00.400 So if they're really wide, why to do people think 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:01.559 we need to go narrow? 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.600 Well, both of those courses, obviously St. Andrews is they're 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.760 not as fast, but they both have really difficult green complexes, 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.520 and that's always a defense that you know, we both 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.760 played some sixty five sixty six hundred yard golf courses 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.280 that can play really tough because because of the green complexes, 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.680 and you know if you shortside yourself you have zero chance. 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.720 And you know that those those golf courses are fun. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.120 But and you know you could do that on tour 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.200 where you have the greens running twelve and a half 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.080 thirteen and a half and they're super undulating and tough 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.240 to putt. But you can't do that for the everyday golfer. 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.800 No, no, I agree, but that every day golfer isn't 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:43.080 having the problems of shooting sixty three at seventy four 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:48.400 golf course. In having an entire style of golf be 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.400 essentially extinct from the game. 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:54.240 Let's get it. 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.319 Well, I guess what do you think about kind of 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:58.360 the FedEx playoffs? 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.600 While we're on the topic, do you do you think 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:06.200 it works? Obviously, football just kills it. 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:10.600 I mean, I'm like a huge golf fan, and if 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.640 I was in the country, I'd probably watch a lot 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.160 of football. I'd be flipping back and forth, like golf 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.080 wouldn't have my full equity. 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.120 It's just even if it was later in the season. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.400 I mean, I'm the same way I watched all football 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.160 the last last weekend, you know, obviously flipping back a 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.800 little bit, but I just it's the time that you know, 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.800 football is just starting. You're all excited. You know, the 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.480 Bears haven't don't have seven losses yet, so I'm trying 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:43.240 to watch that game and red zone they should for that, 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.440 I agree they should, but you know, I you know, 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.960 flipping back and with the with the red zone channel nowadays, 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.000 it's just it's the timing. I think if you put 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.439 it in you know, not that they would, but if 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.640 you put it, you know, more towards the middle, excuse me, 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.679 more towards the middle of the season, you'd get a 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.600 little more interest in it. I just the timing is terrible. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.640 The formats okay, I mean it's it is what it is. 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.400 I don't think the format is terrible. You know, we've 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.440 talked about the other podcasts. We like formats better, but 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:14.600 you know it's okay. 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.560 Yeah, It's like I like the idea of doing a 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.320 match play thing, but at the end of the day, 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.800 the problem is like ratings and like having two guys 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.000 on the golf course on Sunday of the season finale, 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.920 Like that's not going to work. I see a lot 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.480 of people throw out the idea of that. I think 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:39.040 obviously moving before football will help a lot, because it's 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.520 like at the dull drums of sports. 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:44.559 But at the end of the. 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:49.280 Day, I just don't think anybody, even the players, really care. 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.320 Like the top players don't really even care about the 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.839 FedEx Cup because like it's ten million dollars, that's great, 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.800 but like, you know, your your legacy is a player 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.160 is why people care so much about the majors. 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:04.880 And they. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.839 Like nobody's going to be like, oh, he was a 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.920 two time FedEx Cup champion. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.520 No, yeah, totally. I mean in other sports it's like, okay, 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.640 what has this guy done in the playoffs. You know, Kershaw, 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.199 his legacy's tarnish because he hasn't played well in the playoffs. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.520 But you look at golf, you're like, what you know. 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.480 I don't even know the results from last year, and 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.360 I probably watched him, but I can tell you who 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.160 won all the majors last year. So the majors are 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.560 Golf's playoffs. This is some kind of I don't know, 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:33.840 money grab, but it is something I guess. Yeah, I'm not. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:35.760 I'm not a huge fan of it. I wish they 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.640 would do something else, but they probably won't. I'm sure 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.520 they should. They'll stick with it. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:45.440 Yeah, I think that billion dollar check from FedEx is 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.640 gonna make him ride out this playoff. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:48.920 Yeah, that's a good one. 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.320 It's the other thing I saw when I was researching 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.200 for the newsletters. 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:56.920 I didn't I mean, I just I. 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.440 Didn't remember it. I guess that's part of the problem. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:04.280 But I forgot that. The so you could win every 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.680 single tournament you played in for a year, and you 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:12.600 could get to the FedEx Cup finals and they diminish 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.080 your points to a set amount as number one m HM. 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.520 So it really doesn't matter. Like Jordan Speed, like the 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.680 fact that like that Jordan Spied could win the first 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.560 three events of the playoffs he didn't and then not 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:29.440 win the whole FedEx Cup to me is just completely idiotic. 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.720 It's ridiculous. It's it's literally just I mean it's that's so, 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.520 that's because they want the five guys to have a chance, right. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.160 Yeah, so everybody in the field to have a chance. 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.840 That's because it doesn't matter. I mean, that's there's nothing. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.880 I mean, if it was something so significant that all 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.440 these guys you know, cared so deeply about that, that 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:51.760 wouldn't exist. I don't think. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:52.200 Yeah. 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.760 The other thing is is like, you know, trying to 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.360 condense all of golf. Like I don't know how you 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.600 think about golf, but I always look at players, like 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.280 even at our level, I look at players that are 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.960 more consistent than me, that always finished top five, and 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.040 I think, God, they're so consistent. They win a couple 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.880 of times, they finished top five all the time, Like 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:14.880 that's what I want to be. 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:16.800 Like, trying to condense. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.600 Golf down into one week or a four week stretch, 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:25.000 to me is kind of not what the game's all about. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:29.240 Like Tiger always said, he's chasing consistency. That's The number 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.840 one thing he's always looking forward is to become more consistent. 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.880 And you're trying to condense a season long thing into 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:36.520 four weeks. 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.680 Yeah, I mean that. I you know, the difference between 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.680 winning in third place at that level maybe a couple 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.440 of lipouts, you know, or you hit a tree and 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:46.960 it kicks in the fairway, or you hit a tree 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:48.880 and it kicks behind a tree. You know, That's that's 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.920 the difference. So I'm with you. Condencing it to one 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.200 week or even four is not great. 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.280 All right, let's get Let's get into the questions David Horlander. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.320 If you had to move to BMW to another Chicago 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.320 area course, which one and why? 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.160 A couple came to mind. The first one that came 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.919 to mind is right down the road from Conway is Knowlwold. 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.840 It came to mind because I played the mid Am 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.439 in twenty twelve at Conway and Nowood was the sister course. 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.760 And Nowood not only is it a great golf course, 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.160 but the stroke average was i want to say, almost 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.679 two strokes higher. The rough was a little overgrown, but 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.000 I mean that golf course can be tough. It's a 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.480 huge piece of property. I mean, there's no doubt it 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.800 hosted the Western a couple of years ago, but there's 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.520 no doubt it could host it. So I would probably 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:41.159 say that's my first choice. Obviously there's others, but Nolwood 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:42.120 would be ideal. 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.280 I love Nolwood. 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:50.120 I grew up working there at Caddied and back room, 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:51.560 did there for like ten years. 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:52.679 I love that place. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.120 The one concern I would have there is just infrastructure, 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:02.800 right getting like big grand stands and The's That's the 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.760 thing I think I've realized the more I've covered golf 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:10.840 and going to these events, is like there's so few 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:17.080 good sites available because of all the infrastructure you need 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.960 with the grand stand, the length of the golf course 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.160 you need nowadays, and like the type of golf course 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:25.040 like where. 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.360 So many are are not available to it. 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:32.879 So like my con So the other thing with Chicago, 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:37.120 the interesting dynamic with it is is they saw it at. 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:37.600 The US helping. 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.920 You don't want to have a championship on the South 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:42.280 side because there just aren't a lot. 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.440 There's not a big concentration of golfers. 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.359 The north and the West side are the are like 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.600 the north and west suburbs are the places where you're 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.800 going to find the most golfers, and if you have 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.240 it down like Olympia Fields would be a great host. 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.159 But for somebody from the North Side, it's going to 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.280 take an hour plus to get down there, and they 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.679 just frankly aren't going to go travel down there to play. 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:08.240 So I would look at obviously Medina is the next host. 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.879 I think it's a it's a good host because you 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.159 know the property, the infrastructure, like, I mean, that place 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:18.760 can host a championship easily and has all the parking, 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.800 it's easy to get to, and it's a it's a 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:22.879 big property. 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.880 I'm not crazy about the course, it's it's very Reese jonety. 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.520 But if if that place got restored, it would be 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:34.159 or redone by like Bill kre Ben Crenshaw or somebody 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.879 like that, that place would be a top ten championship 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:41.280 course in the in the country. Another one that I 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:45.159 obviously it's the top of the list on everything with 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.280 Chicago's Chicago Golf Club, I mean, they've got plenty of space. 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.440 They could actually host one of these championships, but that 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.520 would never never happen because they'd have to give up 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.639 their course for a week. But they have the space 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:02.640 and for the infrastructure needs and that would just be awesome. 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.080 I think, I mean, I think Conways is a good 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:10.359 host because of where it's located. It's got the space 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:14.199 for the infrastructure, and uh, I think I think the 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.439 golf course has a ton of potential to get better. 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:21.879 Yeah, I am with you. All right, Let's go to 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:25.480 the next question from Nate Maori. Nate, what do you 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.200 think about the web Tour schedule criss crossing the nation? 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.920 Shouldn't they think about the money implications on players and caddies. 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.160 Well, to say the least, the Web Tour scheduling is 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:40.080 it is a complete dumpster fire. They started the season 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.320 going to the Bahamas and then they took a week 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:47.280 off and then went back to the Bahamas. So you know, 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:50.520 like that just from right off, the right off the 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:54.160
