00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: much is going on. No Zurich. You know, I don't

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: have any takes from last week, and I don't really

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: care about Mexico. The Mexico opened this week though, rom

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: is defending, but it's you know, it's a vacation golf. Basically,

10
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: we will dive back into it as we ramp up

00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,319
Speaker 1: to the PGA Championship, So a couple quick takes off

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: the top and then we will dive in heavy to

Speaker 1: a little golf probably Friday, Saturday, you know, a little

00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: do a little NFL draft work as well, so we've

00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: draft content. Me and Coward will be beyond after the

28
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: first round, so, you know, grinding, working, seeing some fam

29
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,240

45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: things I wanted to start with, and ironically they both

46
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: kind of combined to Australia. Let's start with liv because

47
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: last week the Zurich Challenge, it didn't do much for me,

48
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: and I would imagine didn't do much for most. I

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: didn't gamble on it. It's a tough to gamble on.

50
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Davis Riley as someone DM me finally won a tournament.

51
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't really count that one, but it is what

52
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: it is. This week's in Mexico. It's definitely kind of

53
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: a lull in the season schedule. You know, it's an

54
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: easy time for us as golf lovers to just go

55
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: play some golf. That's what I did last weekend. It's

56
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: what I will do again this weekend. This is not,

57
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, one of the elevated events. We're not getting

58
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: the majors. We got a little break. Take a deep breath,

59
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: even though John Rahm the defending champs, going down to

60
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: Mexico and then we'll get going. I think the Wells

61
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: Fargo is before the PGA Championship and it'll ramp up

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: here in a couple weeks, which is exciting. The PGA

63
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: Championship is obviously the fourth of the four majors in

64
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: terms of importance, but relatively speaking, it's still awesome. I mean,

65
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: last year what happened with Mito Pereira and JT winning

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: very entertaining. But I wanted to give liv some love.

67
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: One thing that they really struggle with in the States

68
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: is playing on courses that matter. Why they don't have

69
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: access to them. We've talked about it on this podcast

70
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: for a while, Like Olympic Club, any of the major venues,

71
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: Pebble Beach, you name it. No one is going to

72
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: do business with them. So it's going to be very

73
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: difficult for them to play on courses that really pop

74
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: on TV. And let's face it, we saw with the Masters,

75
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: you see it with TPC Scottsdale, you see it with

76
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: RIV You'll see it at Memorial, you see it obviously

77
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: at the major venues. The venue matters, right that there's

78
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: something special about watching Sunday night football at lambeau Field,

79
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: watching the Lakers in La rocking and rolling. Like the

80
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: venue matters in sports, It just does listen big giants

81
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: guy like pack Bell Park, Oracle Park, at and T

82
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: Park has had a million names. But watching guys hit

83
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: home runs into the water in the postseason is freaking awesome.

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: Wrigley Field, Fenway, you name it right, and they don't

85
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: play sweet courses. Well, I will give Greg Norman credit.

86
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: Obviously he's Australian and the PGA Tour does not go

87
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: to Australia. But a couple of years ago Tiger Woods

88
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: when he was the captain of the President's Cup and

89
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: the famous meme which was obviously doctored when he beats

90
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: abe answer on eighteen shakes his hand. That week in

91
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: Melbourne was awesome, The course was sweet, and people in

92
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: Australia love golf, well a huge reason. Now we can

93
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: debate why cam Smith went to live he got paid

94
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: a lot of money, but he mentioned that like they

95
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: get to go back to Australia. He has an Australian

96
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: contingent literally on his team with Leishman. So when they

97
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: went to Australia. The video I watched a little bit

98
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: of it, but watched a lot of the clips. It

99
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: looked incredible, It looked so much fun, like there's a

100
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: reason the NFL dabbles in London and dabbles in Mexico

101
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: City and dabbles in Germany. It's good business. The PGA tour.

102
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: You know, how about go to Australia. Listen, that wasn't

103
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: just a hit that worked, that popped on television. Watching

104
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: and I know Taylor Gooch killed everybody, but watching guys

105
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: drink out of shoes, watching the crowds, it's like, you know,

106
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: should the PGA Tour go to Australia? Now, I know

107
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: it's very difficult to get everyone to make that plane

108
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: flight with live you got everyone under contract. They don't

109
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: have a choice. If you're gonna play in Austria, if

110
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna play in Dubai, if you're gonna play in Australia,

111
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: they gotta go. But now with these elevated events beside Rory,

112
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: you you know, you say it's going on, people are

113
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: gonna show up because there's too much money in lain

114
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: And you watch the Australia event, and I would imagine

115
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: many people didn't, but I'm sure you saw the clips

116
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: like that looked pretty badass. People in Australia. There is

117
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: a huge passion and willingness to watch, support and show

118
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: up and it worked. Now the time difference clearly is

119
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: not ideal. I would imagine for the CBS and NBC package,

120
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: which can complicate things because this is a TV sport.

121
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: But that worked, man, that worked. I mean I found

122
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: a way to watch the President's Cup with Tiger Woods

123
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: and JT I love me some me in twenty nineteen.

124
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: That was awesome. I really enjoyed it. So we can

125
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: talk some shit about live and some things they don't

126
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: do right, but you got to give them credit like

127
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Australia works. And speaking of Tiger Woods, last week, his

128
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: Twitter account and Instagram account released that he received surgery

129
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: and listen, Tiger clearly is holding on for dear life

130
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: in terms of his playing career. Right. We have seen

131
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: now over the last two years when he tries to

132
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: play in big tournaments he either misses the cut or

133
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: is basically forced to withdraw because his body can't, you know,

134
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: stay together. It's hard. He's forty seven years old, He's

135
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: got a million surgeries essentially fused together. And the headline

136
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: of the report from Tiger's camp was earlier today, Tiger

137
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: Woods underwent a sub delar fusion procedure to address his

138
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: post traumatic arthrife. It is from his previous talis fracture. Now,

139
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: I didn't go to med school, just some run of

140
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: the mill state school business major. That does not sound good.

141
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: And you know when you watch Tiger at the press

142
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: conference at the Masters, gratefulness just there was watching a

143
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: guy understanding how many limited times that he might have

144
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: left doing this last year at the Open, you know,

145
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: his leading up to that tournament, his press conferences. This

146
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: is a guy that sees the light at the end

147
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: of the tunnel. Because the cool part about the situation,

148
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: for a shitty as it is, is that like others,

149
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: let's pick other sports. For example, if Anthony Davis and

150
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: Joel mb just for ten straight years were healthy, they

151
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: would go down like you know all time great players

152
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: as like Kevin Garnett and I don't know Shack right,

153
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: both of them could win several championships, but they always

154
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: get injured, like literally always get hurt. And anyone listening

155
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: to this as a football fan, you have guys on

156
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: your team that, God, this guy is so much talent,

157
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: but he can't stay on the field. And that's just

158
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: part of sports. And it sucks, and it's a reason

159
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: why so many guys just never get the opportunity. Now

160
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: in team sports, that usually leads to other guys getting

161
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: the opportunity, but there's always that well, would it could

162
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: have What would have been what this guy could have

163
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: done if he could have stayed on the field. At

164
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: least Tiger did it right. At least Tiger really up

165
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: until you know, two thousand and eight when he got

166
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: the knee surgery and then his back started going. In

167
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: the twenty tens, got ninety seven to eight, and obviously

168
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: he won, you know, the nineteen Major, but twenty nineteen Masters,

169
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: not the nineteenth Major, you know what I mean. But

170
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: it's it feels over and I'm not trying to be

171
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: overly dramatic. H He kind of told you with his

172
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: words as the Masters, like this is this is not

173
00:09:53,520 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: going great, battling planner fasciitis, battling arthritis, battling just the

174
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: nature of a guy who's had a million surgeries, like

175
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: it takes a toll as you get older. Anyone listening

176
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: to this who's over thirty knows your body starts acting

177
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: a little different. Right. Most of us guys in our

178
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: twenties if you work out, if you're just active, kind

179
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: of eat whatever you want. You go to fast food

180
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: all the time, can eat dirty carbs, sugars, whatever. The

181
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: older you get, you know, if you don't want to

182
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: get fat, you kind of got to be careful of that.

183
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: So there's a natural body change for human beings. And

184
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: Tiger's in his forties, late forties. He's close to fifty

185
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,119
Speaker 1: than he is forty, and he's a guy with unlimited surgeries.

186
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: But it just shows you, like it's one thing to

187
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: tear in acl when you're twenty two years old, and

188
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: as you get older, maybe you feel a little pain

189
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: and they the doctors can help you figure it out.

190
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: There's another thing to be, you know, kind of put together,

191
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: like Humpty dumpty. And that's how it feels like with

192
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods in his body. Which sucks because I last

193
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: year I got so much joy out of thinking he

194
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: was going to play the majors. I'm kind of resigned

195
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: now to not really expect much. Like if you told

196
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: me he doesn't play another major this year, I'll believe you.

197
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: If you tell me he only plays one more major

198
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: this year and it's the Open, I believe you do

199
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: I expect to see him at the PGA Championship. I

200
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: do not, like, I one hundred percent do not expect

201
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: him to go. Do I expect him to go to

202
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: the US Open at LA Country Club. I think he

203
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: wants to go, but I'd even say that does not

204
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: feel likely. The Open, which I don't pretend to know

205
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: much about. I haven't done any research. I've just heard

206
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: other people talk about it being relatively flat. But one

207
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: thing it shows you like flat, hilly whatever. I don't

208
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: know if it really matters, and it sucks. It's sad,

209
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: but we're coming down the home stretch of I mean,

210
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: we might be a couple of years away from just

211
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: no more Tiger Woods in any of these tournaments, including Augusta,

212
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: which is something if I would have told you after

213
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: he won the twenty nineteen Masters and almost won majors

214
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: the previous year and it was the captain of the

215
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: President's Cup team, you know, you would have been like,

216
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: this guy's got a chance to win a couple more majors,

217
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: and that car accident that early morning in LA, it

218
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: does feel like really derailed the end of his career

219
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: because Tiger Woods was on the back nine. I mean, hell,

220
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: even when he won the twenty nineteen Masters, you would

221
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: say he was closer to whole fifteen sixteen than he

222
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: was hold nine. But it feels like after that crash

223
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: he immediately went to hole eighteen, and depending on the day,

224
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: he's either like headed to the clubhouse or in the

225
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: middle of the faraway on hole eighteen. So anytime you

226
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: get to see him moving forward, just just know this,

227
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: it could easily be his last. Kay, let's dive into

228
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: the mailbag at Golopod. At Golopod is the Instagram fire

229
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: in the DMS Peter first time DM or out of

230
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Belgium Europe. In the last episode of Full Swing, Rory

231
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: said something about golfers having gone a little soft now

232
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: he himself already missed his second elevated tournament. Isn't this

233
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: somewhat of a weird? Look? One thousand percent? I mean,

234
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: this is, you know, the hard part about being the

235
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: front man in anything right, About being the parent of

236
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: three or four kids and holding them to high standards,

237
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: About being the CEO and holding a company to high standards,

238
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: about being a head coach in football and holding everyone

239
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: to high standards. It's like you kind of got to

240
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: live by that. The moment you don't do what you say,

241
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: you're kind of a fraud. You know, you're kind of

242
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: a fraud. And as of recording this, I mean, it's

243
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: not like he released a statement that anyone was sick

244
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: or anything besides just fatigue. He was tired and when

245
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: you're beating the drum, which isn't totally his fault, it's

246
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: just not I mean, Jay Monahan is the commissioner. But

247
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of unique, right, Roger Goodell works for

248
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: the owners, and the owners, you know, want him out

249
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: in front ultimately the players, like it's kind of the

250
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: player's tour. Jay's just kind of the fundraiser. So it's

251
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: a little unique that way. But still, like Rory had

252
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: to talk for Jamon Hand who is clearly not great

253
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: with the press and maybe just worn out, which is fair,

254
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: like we all get worn out. But when you talk

255
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: a big game, you talk some shit and then you

256
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: miss the cut at the Masters and you take off

257
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: not a great look. It's just not especially the following

258
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: week when Jordan who finished T three or T two,

259
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't even remember. I guess T three because Brooks

260
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: and Phil finished second. He's in a playoff. Matt Fitzpatrick

261
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: I think was top ten of the Masters. Xander can't

262
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: lay all Like these guys just played man tough. Is

263
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: it possible that Rory McElroy is going through some sort

264
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: of existential crisis after the Masters? He is starting to

265
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: doubt whether he will complete the Grand Slam. At this point,

266
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if any other tournament really matters that

267
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: much in comparison to the Masters. For hear what you're saying,

268
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: and I think there's validity behind that. But ultimately, like

269
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: winning the Masters means a lot to Rory complete the

270
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: Grand Slam. You know, you get to go to the dinner,

271
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: You just get in the club, right, Look how big

272
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: it is the last two years, Scotty really for the

273
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: first forever, right, Scottie rom Hadecki, Patrick Reid, Sergio, Adam

274
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: Scott Like it is a life changing tournament. John Robb's

275
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: gonna win as many majors as Rory. I would bank

276
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: on that, But winning the Masters was really really important

277
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: to him. But I would say this, the other majors

278
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: are pretty important in Rory too. He's just gonna end

279
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: with four majors. Feels like he should be a seven

280
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: or eight major guy. I mean last year it felt

281
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: like he was gonna win his fifth and then all

282
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden Cam Smith shot like thirty you know

283
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: or whatever. He shot in the back nine thirty one

284
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: and kicked his ass. So I do think the Masters

285
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: is in his head anytime that something means a lot

286
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: to you professionally, and I've been a lot of people

287
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: listening can agree with this. It takes a lot of

288
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: our energy, right, I'm sure you know people that are

289
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: like that. You're like that, maybe your wife or girlfriend

290
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: is like that. When you want something really bad professionally,

291
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: you put in a lot of energy. And for most

292
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: of us, it's a build up, right, you go from

293
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: make it X to two X to three X. And

294
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: for most of our goals in the private sector, it's

295
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: usually money, right, It's like, I want to make if

296
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: you run a business this much revenue and then this

297
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: much revenue, or I want to be bought out for

298
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: this number. In sports, it's pretty black and white, right.

299
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: Like Josh Allen, I saw he's never been more motivated

300
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: than he is this offseason to get back to the

301
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: NFL season. Well, like Josh Allen is super rich, he

302
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: is super successful every single season. It feels like he's

303
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna go the Pro Bowl, but like he's either gonna

304
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: in the playoffs or he's not. And if he gets

305
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: bounced in the first second or the third round, doesn't

306
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: make it the super Bowl, like it's gonna be viewed

307
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: as a failure. You know. It's it's like if Joe

308
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: Burrow never wins a super Bowl each year he doesn't

309
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl, like it's a failure. And in golf,

310
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: like he's got four majors a year, and the Masters

311
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: is kind of on a different pedestal right now because

312
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: he doesn't have one. I do think the Open Championship

313
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: last year was right there, And what did he say

314
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: happened after that that he lost? He got whisked away

315
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: in a golf cart and broke down crying with his wife.

316
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: Why because it means a lot and anyone who's listening

317
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: to this that fails at something like it hurts. But

318
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: like our lives are more fluid. The business world is

319
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: much more fluid than sports. That's why a lot of

320
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: us enjoy sports. It's like you get a winner and

321
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: a loser. Like in podcasting, like a bunch of people

322
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: are making money. A lot of people are winning right now. Right,

323
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: just because I win doesn't mean the other podcaster can't win,

324
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: or seven other podcaster winning doesn't mean that I'm gonna lose. Right,

325
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: We all get a little piece of the pie, but

326
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: only one person gets a piece of the pie at

327
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: these major tournaments. And that's what makes golf the most

328
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: unique of the individual sports because like even in tennis,

329
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: you play one other person and you work your way

330
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: up to the quarterfinals, semi finals, you know, the finals.

331
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: In golf, like in a major, you play the whole field.

332
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: Then you gotta beat half the field to move on,

333
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: and then you gotta beat that entire half to win.

334
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: But you're kind of playing everybody, right, This is not

335
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: match play. It's very very unique that way, And maybe

336
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: he is just mentally broke down some questions for the pot.

337
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: Who gets hit a win first? Ricky or Jason Day?

338
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: I would say Jason Day. Which Americans would be your

339
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 1: captain's pick as of right now, I haven't looked at

340
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: the top six. If you're talking Ryder Cup, I would

341
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: guess it would be Scottie Scheffler. It's a good question.

342
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: I Colin Moore, Cowa uh spee, these guys are gonna

343
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: make the team, Like Justin Thomas is not playing well,

344
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: Like Maxhomes better than Justin Thomas right now. Sam Burns

345
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: would be on my team, Cam Young would be on

346
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: my team, and some of these guys might be qualified.

347
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of thinking out loud. Yeah, if Brooks

348
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: is good at Majors, like everyone likes Brooks, Like Brooks

349
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: is on my team, you know, like we just like

350
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: who's better right now, Brooks or Justin Thomas. And I'm

351
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: a JT guy, but we got a pretty deep field

352
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: PG Championship bets. You like, haven't really looked, to be

353
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: honest with you, I haven't my one future bet as

354
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: of right now, Ishma to win the US Open. One

355
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: guy that I was. I actually actually I lied. I

356
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: did look a couple of weeks ago, kind of detached

357
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: from the golf gambling. After I've taken it on the

358
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: chin a little bit. I do think Ja Mason Day's

359
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: odds are pretty tasty. Cam Young also pretty tasty. I

360
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: one thing we learned at the Masters, if you wanted

361
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: to get big, because all their odds are kind of shitty,

362
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: if you told me I put one thousand dollars on

363
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: rom or Scottie Scheffer. I'd say I like it. I'd

364
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: say I like it a lot. I mean, I'd be

365
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: tempted to do that if I hadn't just been taken

366
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: into cleaners this year beside my home. A bet. I

367
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: just I've gotten too aggressive on winners. But Jason Day

368
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: Cam Young would be two guys I like a lot.

369
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: I think if you told me Jason Day wins the

370
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: PGA Championship, I think it's pretty believable. Does a live

371
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: player win a major? I would lean no this year?

372
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: Should live players be allowed to play in the Ryder Cup?

373
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: I thought? I think John Rahm said it best, like

374
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: this is not the PGA Tours deal, so yes, they

375
00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: should be allowed to. Uh. Something someone sent me last week.

376
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: I wanted to read Yo John after listening to the

377
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: Golo Bag and heard the question about golf agents. Able

378
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: to provide some context here, I'm around the industry and

379
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm working to be a golf a big time golf

380
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: agent in my career. Hell yeah, good luck, bro. You

381
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: are correct that Excel is the main power agency for

382
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: golfers in Steinberg, which is Tiger's agent. I was told

383
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: this too last week actually is one of the founding

384
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: partners for the agency. They have Tiger and Morikawa, Justin Rose,

385
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: Gary Woodland, some others. I think they have Justin Thomas too.

386
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: Other than that, it's actually spread out pretty wide in

387
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: terms of the power players, so unlike football hoops where

388
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: the top few just dominate. William Morris has speeth in

389
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: Can't lay Hambrick Sports as DJ Kopka and Scheffler. Sports

390
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: five has rom and Tom Kim. CAAA surprisably surprisingly has

391
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: only one golfer on their roster, and it's Patrick Reed.

392
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: Rory just has a personal agent that that is very

393
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: end of the radar, which is a bit surprising. Wasserman

394
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: has Phena and Ricky all pretty spread out. Can provide

395
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: some knowledge for the people. That's an incredible answer, Thanks, Bro.

396
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Yes, it's kind of a unique business

397
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: that way, because if you get if you get a

398
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: cash cow, it's on like Donkey Kong. Question for the pod,

399
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: what's your thoughts on courses clubs redoing golf courses. I'm

400
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: a member at Madina Country Club in Chicago area. Land

401
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: hosted the twelve Ryder Cup. The BMW recently the PGA

402
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: back in the day when Tiger won, we are redoing

403
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: the championship course at Madina. What are your thoughts in

404
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: general on championship level courses being redone, completely new layout,

405
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: all new holes, the whole nine yards. Since the club

406
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: is owned by the members, they were voting on it

407
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: and given CC politics in it easily passed. Wanted to

408
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: get your thoughts. Last year, a friend of mine named Greg,

409
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: who is a member at Olympic Club, invited me to

410
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: their member guest. I was terrible. I mean I lost

411
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: my game. I honestly, I played like a thirty handicap

412
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: and I went in as a four. But when I

413
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: went he told me that they were shutting down the

414
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: lake course, which is the US Open course, and are

415
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: going to completely redo it. And I said, why are

416
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: they doing that? He said, because the members are tired

417
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: of this course being so fucking hard. And it really

418
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: is hard, right, you get in the bunker, you get off.

419
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: They're just gonna make it a lot easier. And this

420
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: is what's unique about golf, right Madonna, Oakmont, Olympic whatever.

421
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: You just go around some of the sweet hard courses.

422
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: It's like the pros play those courses, depending on the venue,

423
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: like a Madina Olympic Club, a very very small percentage

424
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: of time over like a decade, beside the courses that

425
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: you go to every year. But if you're a member

426
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: of Olympic you're like, I'm a decent golfer and this

427
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: is miserable to golf. The older you get, if you're

428
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: not on tour is supposed to be enjoyable and the

429
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: average handicap. What's funny is playing at TPC Scottsdale, which

430
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: is a very just enjoyable course. Now it's hard, but

431
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: a caddie told me, I said, what is the average

432
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: golfer that you caddy for out here? If you had

433
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: to guess, he said, easily over a fifteen handicap. So

434
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: most guys that are coming out here are shooting ninety

435
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: to one hundred. So that's the average golfer. You know,

436
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: if you just go to a Medina or Olympic club,

437
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, like when your club championship happens. Now, some

438
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: clubs have better players than others, but it's not like

439
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: there are seventeen Ricky Fowlers, Jason Days and Justin Thomas's

440
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: out there right. Obviously some of these courses have those players,

441
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: but even those players are not playing in the club championship.

442
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: So I kind of understand it, but it makes it difficult.

443
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Madonna's now going to play easier,

444
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: if Olympic Club is surely going to play easier, what

445
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: that does to future majors, but to hard balance, because

446
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, you start paying a lot of money. I'm

447
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: a member at a country club that hosts, let's say

448
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: PGA Tour championship level events. It's like, it's cool when

449
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: it comes out here and I get to watch it,

450
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: and I get free passes and we get to booze

451
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: with my buddies. But that happens once every nine years.

452
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: Those other you know, nine years and whatever. How many

453
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: months are in a year fifty two. You know, I

454
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: can depend on where you live, how the sun's out.

455
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean is the majority of

456
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: this time I'm playing this course, and it's impossible. There's

457
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: there's a level of difficulty to like, this is this

458
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: is not this is too hard. My buddy family friend,

459
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: Tyler Raber and his buddy brother Scottie, who's also you,

460
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: played Division one golf and Tyler played at uc Davis

461
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: and was like, you know, fringe mini tour guy qualified

462
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen for the US Open at Oakland and

463
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: his brother Scottie caddied for him. Him and his dad

464
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: went out there. They missed the cut by a couple

465
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: by a couple of shots, but that was the major.

466
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson won it. They said, it's easily and these

467
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: guys have played golf besides like Augusta. I mean they

468
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: have been around the block playing golf. Me and Scotty

469
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: and his dad played LACC like they've seen it all.

470
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: He said it was easily the hardest course I've ever seen. Now,

471
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: obviously they trick it out for the US Open and

472
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: they're playing the tips, but they're like, I can't imagine

473
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: being a member at this course. It is so freaking difficult,

474
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: and there are members there, so it's like, is that

475
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: a fun place to play? Like part of if money

476
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: was not an obstacle for me and I could be

477
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: a member wherever, Like I wouldn't want to just I'm

478
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: not that big of a golf nerd where it's like

479
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: I want to be at the toughest courses now beside

480
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: like Augusta. I don't want to be at fun, cool

481
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: sweet tracks. You know, Whisper Rock here, Troubadour in Nashville,

482
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: even Austin country club looks kind of fun. Doesn't look impossible.

483
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: So that's a long winded way of saying, like, I

484
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: think these courses should be easier because the members are

485
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: the ones playing it, not Ricky Fowler and Tiger Woods

486
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: for the pod on slow play. I agree shot clock

487
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: won't work, but why not a game clock use Thursday

488
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: Friday to calculate a ton average eighteen round time. Then

489
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: if a player's eighteen whole round is a certain percentage

490
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: longer than the average, they get a penalty. Why should

491
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: they disrupt play and allow the player to determine whether

492
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: they need to slow it down on tough shots but

493
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: compensate for faster players on straightforward shots. Or since TV

494
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: is the real driver of revenue and slow play diminishes

495
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: the product, why not put the responsibility on the networks

496
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: to cut it. Once you do, all players are ready

497
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: to hit. The players maybe still be upset about it,

498
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: but if the viewing audience doesn't see it, players can

499
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: deal with it themselves. One pushback there on the Thursday Friday.

500
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: Most tournaments you play a threesome on Thursday Friday, and

501
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: then when the cut happens, it just goes to two people. Right,

502
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: So the pace of play is different on the weekend

503
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: because you have one less guy in a group, right,

504
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean depending on whether but if I have a

505
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: let's just pick a one hundred and fifty man Field, Well,

506
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: Thursday Friday, we're going out three people each group. Well,

507
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: you notice I mean Saturday Sunday on the tour, in

508
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 1: the big tournaments, you're going out two guys. So I'm

509
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: not a math major here, but I do think it

510
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: would be difficult to gauge the speed when there's a

511
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: separate when there's another guy there. That would be my

512
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: only question. But I hear what you're saying. They gotta

513
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: do something because you can't just show these guys on TV.

514
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: Blackbird on Apple TV is a ten out of ten

515
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: based on true story about a serial killer that's in jail,

516
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: so they send another con to confess where he hid

517
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: the bodies they couldn't find. I agree, I saw it

518
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: fantastic show mailback es, I'd say I'm pretty new to golf.

519
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: Started playing last summer, joined a club and started playing regularly.

520
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: In November. Is golf like most sports where you progress,

521
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: your progress is limited by your natural talent. I hear

522
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: a lot of blokes say there are scratch players, are

523
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: low handicapped, that say, I played as a kid. Is

524
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: it possible to get to that later that level at

525
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: a later stage of life? Thirty, I've got a coach,

526
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: had a few lessons, and my best score is ninety.

527
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: My coach said I'm gonna be good. Wonder if he's

528
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: gassing me up? Long question. Apologies, I do think there's

529
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: a huge benefit. I've been playing since I was young,

530
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: so there is just a natural instinct to my golf game. Right.

531
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I mean I can shoot anywhere from

532
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: seventy five to ninety. But my point is like I

533
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: can probably see shots because I've just done a million shots. Right,

534
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: I've been in under every tree, around a lake, every

535
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: part of a green, Like I've kind of seen it all.

536
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: It's why, like, why do some players have better instincts

537
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: than others? And You're like, well, I've been playing football

538
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: since I was five. I started playing basketball at the

539
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: moment I could dribble, So I think there's an instinct

540
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: to golfers that play younger. But I have known countless,

541
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: like Division I athletes that never played golf until they

542
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: were done with college or done playing you know, minor

543
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: league baseball and became a single digit handicap relatively quick.

544
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: So I think your athletic ability matters. And then I

545
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: think you're just naturally going to be better at certain

546
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: things than others. Right, there's an element of golf, like

547
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: I would say your hands. Like some people short games

548
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: are just immediately natural because they have soft hands or whatever.

549
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: They just have a natural swing and they hit it

550
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: relatively straight, so it's easy for them to improve. Some

551
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: of us have some flaws raising my hand, so it

552
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 1: takes a little bit more time to work on it.

553
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: I think everyone's different. I think you just because you

554
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: start playing at thirty does not mean you're gonna shoot

555
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: ninety your whole life. Now you have a big uphill

556
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: battle in terms of right, you're playing another guy that

557
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: shoots eighty, that's your age and been playing for fifteen years.

558
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 1: It is harder to catch that guy because he has

559
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: more reps. Right, Like you're gonna start podcasting tomorrow, it's

560
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 1: gonna take you some time to figure it out. Your

561
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: audio quality, your takes, how you're gonna set up your podcast,

562
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: what you like talking about, what you don't like talking about,

563
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: what the audience likes. I get anything in life. I mean,

564
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: it just takes time. That there is no quick fix.

565
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: But I would, by no means say that you can't improve.

566
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: It's the I would say it's the easiest sport to

567
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: improve at if you just you gotta work at it,

568
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: and you're remember at a club, you gotta you have

569
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: a coach. So yeah, I would feel pretty good about

570
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: my future already. Shoot ninety and you just started playing.

571
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: When betting on guys, do you tend to have a

572
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: few guys that might not even have a big chance

573
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: at winning, but you put money on. For example, I

574
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: always throw a couple bucks on Fitzpatrick and minwu Lee

575
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: even though I'm not confident they'll win, just because I

576
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: like to watch them. Fuck yeah, I mean I bet

577
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: on Gary Woodland for like two straight years. I've been

578
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: hammering Jason Day for this entire year. I've bet on

579
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: Victor Hovelin all the time. I love those guys, So yeah,

580
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: I mean, is that the smart way to bet? What

581
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: do they all have can tell you? In bet? Like

582
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: or as a gambler in other sports, like don't just

583
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: bet on your team, don't just bet on the Packers

584
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: or the Cowboys. Be careful this week? So yeah, but

585
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: if you're just putting twenty bucks, who cares? And if

586
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: map Fitzpatrick wins like he did last week, it's sweet? Hey, John,

587
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: have a response to the guy having trouble with the

588
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: quality of YouTube TV. Since it's streaming a live event

589
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: with a lot of moving on the screen, he might

590
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: want to look up into upgrading receiver on the Internet.

591
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: Depending on the provider, it might be a modem or

592
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: a router. One that has more bandwidth capabilities might clean

593
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: up that issue. Good checking in The five hundred Club

594
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: is a rad course in the Phoenix area. Kind of

595
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: low key but very nice. I have not played that

596
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: one yet. Okay, last question from Matt, can you explain

597
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: to us the route that someone goes to get to

598
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: be a pro golfer. I know that you have to

599
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: earn your tour card, but I assume you have to

600
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: qualify to even be on the corn Ferry Tour. That

601
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: being said, how does someone like Sam Bennett go from

602
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: being the top amateur to a pro? What are the steps. Well, historically,

603
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: a guy like him, you know, you win the USM

604
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: you get some sponsor invites, so you get to get

605
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: to play some PGA Tour you know tournaments. If you

606
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: were to ever win one of those, not even counting

607
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: the Major, but just a tournament, you would immediately get

608
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: your tour card. Historically, most of those guys have gone

609
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: to it used to be the Nike Tour, corn Ferry Tour,

610
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: the Mini Tours, whatever, and kind of work their way

611
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: up like you do in minor league baseball. And then

612
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: they used to have this thing Q School, which now

613
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: is basically the Corner Finals. So if I'm Sam Bennett,

614
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: I immediately this you know pro Tour, you I got

615
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: a I'm not exactly sure how that works. I was

616
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: talking to someone in the golf business about you know,

617
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: they give I think ten tour cards because they don't

618
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: want to lose these guys to live, right, So if

619
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: you think about it, and I could be wrong here,

620
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: I need to talk to my guy. But forever, in football,

621
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: let's say, if you're a top player, you get drafted

622
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: and you just go right to the NFL. Well, in golf,

623
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: just because I was the number one player, like Sahith

624
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: Thigala or Scottie Scheffler. I'm the Ben Hogan, which is

625
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: like the Heisman Trophy winner of college golf. I still

626
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: got to go to the corn Ferry Tour to get

627
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: my PGA Tour status. Now though especially Scotty started going

628
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: and Sam Burns. You start winning in the corn Ferry,

629
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: you start winning in the corn Ferry, you get enough points,

630
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: you get your PGA Tour card. Now the corn Ferry Tour.

631
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: If you are the top thirty on the corn Ferry

632
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: Tour this year in points, you get your PGA Tour card.

633
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: Now obviously you don't have access to the elevated events,

634
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: but you you get into random events like this week Mexico.

635
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: You could play last week Zerk. You can play Puerto Rico,

636
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: some of the Haunt, some of these random tournaments that

637
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: the top guys are not playing in. You can get

638
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: into Safeway Open. I think it's a Fortinet Open now,

639
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: so you but I do think this new PGA Tour,

640
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: you if I'm a top five or I think it's

641
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: top ten, might be top five guy in college golf

642
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: in a ranking, I get my tour card, kind of

643
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: like a Corn Ferry guy, does, so I don't have

644
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: to go grind on the corn Ferry Tour because I've

645
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: kind of earned it in college. And I think that's

646
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: a way to streamline. Colin more Cowa, Victor Hovlin, Matt Wolf,

647
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,479
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler, Sam Burns. They don't even add to waste time.

648
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: Just Cam Young, Like, let's rock and roll, Jordan Speed,

649
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: Ricky Fountain. Now those guys win so quickly, you know,

650
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: Jordan Speed, They're just they get their tour card forever.

651
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: You just had to go to the main mini tour,

652
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: which has had a million names over the years. But

653
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: the corn Faery Tour right now is loaded with talent.

654
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: And at the end of this year they're gonna give

655
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: out thirty PJ Tour cards, which is obviously a lot,

656
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: but it doesn't guarantee you. You know, you still got

657
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: to to keep your card. Obviously, you got to be

658
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean, these are fluid numbers. Now. It used to

659
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 1: be in the top one, twenty five. Now I don't

660
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: even know. I mean, it's you know, that seventy line

661
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: of delineation to go to these elevated events. It's kind

662
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: of a work in progress. I mean, I'm not quite

663
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: sure on all the details, but I do know the

664
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: corn Fairy Tour gives out thirty PJ Tour cards at

665
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: the end of the year based on points, and forever

666
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: that number I think used to be smaller. But you win,

667
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: If you win on the corn Ferry Tour, you're you know,

668
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for you not to get a

669
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: tour card. And obviously, anytime a guy without tour status

670
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: wins on the PGA Tour, he immediately gets two years

671
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: of PGA Tour status, which is a big deal. Now

672
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: you can make money, Like forever Zala Taurus hadn't won,

673
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: but how do you have status because he was finishing

674
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: top fives and where he was on the money list.

675
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: Same with Scotti Scheffler for a while, right, trying to

676
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: think of it, Sahita Gala hasn't won yet, but you

677
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: start finishing well in tournaments, you obviously keep your conditional status.

678
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: I think is the way it's put. It's kind of

679
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: a complicated deal, it really is. I've heard players on

680
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: interviews like I wasn't even sure, you know. It's not

681
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: like like if I'm in double A, I know, like, yeah,

682
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: I'm not in the bigs. It's like, yeah, you're going

683
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: to the big leagues, and you're like, I'm in the

684
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: bigs right in golf, it's like, well, do I have

685
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: access to this tournament? Obviously the majors are pretty unique,

686
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: but the other tournaments, it's gonna be very interesting to

687
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: watch how this all shakes out. Appreciate everyone listening. The
