1
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: I remember one of the cool moments. These two girls

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: gave me a bracelet last year on one of the

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Part five's and I put it on and I ended

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: up chipping in on the next one and turning around

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: to them and seeing how happy they were. I still

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: have the bracelets.

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 2: In my back.

8
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: You know, I'll probably, you know, I'll probably they're going

9
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: to be out there, I assume, so I'll throw it

10
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: on for the event tomorrow. So it's just small, small

11
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: things like that, and it does it does make you

12
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: feel really small, i'd say, in the whole scheme of things,

13
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: and just to be able to make a few extra

14
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: kids smile along the ways is really meaningful to me.

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:46,920

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,360

Speaker 5: Yeah?

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: I think he's literally coming for like two days from

00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: Australia to play the wishbumb Brell.

73
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I know they have. He has all of

74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: his like National opens right like shortly after, I think.

75
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then and then his Sandbelt Invitational in like

76
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: three weeks, and you know, so he's got a lot

77
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: going on. I mean, but I I you know, if

78
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 4: you talk to him, he's like, I would never miss this,

79
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 4: Like I think he's and I think Fred is bump.

80
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 4: Fred tried to move things around because he hated the

81
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 4: idea that he was going to miss it.

82
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 5: I think it's it's just something.

83
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 4: That you know, as we've discussed before.

84
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 5: I just think it's one of the.

85
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: You know as you know full well, all that's happening

86
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: at the top level of professional golf can be just

87
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 4: so overwhelming and just uh, you know, hard to navigate

88
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 4: as probably a player, but also as a consumer, as

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 4: a as a viewer, you know, just sort of watching

90
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 4: all of this unfold and hopefully it comes to some

91
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 4: sort of resolution. But in the meantime, it's thing like

92
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: this that I just find to be just so clean

93
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: and simple and special and an impactful you know what

94
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 4: I mean?

95
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, for sure, that's Yeah. There's a lot of

96
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: stuff and a lot of noise that seems to be

97
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: going on during whether it's our Ryder Cups or like

98
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: normal events, and this is a yeah, I mean for me,

99
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: this is kind of where where it all started, so

100
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: or at least it makes me feel like it connects

101
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: me back to where it all started, which is what

102
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: I love about it. So it's kind of a breath

103
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: of fresh air and a nice origin for the roots.

104
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would imagine, And again it does that for me. Obviously,

105
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 4: Goat Hill Park has done that for John right, this

106
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: was a place that he grew up playing and that's

107
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 4: why he decided to fight so hard to save it.

108
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: You know I remember ten eleven years ago.

109
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 5: He's like, I grew up.

110
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: We can't let this die, you know what I mean,

111
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: we can't let this die. And wait, I don't know

112
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 4: you were there last night.

113
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 5: I saw you.

114
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: I didn't say hi because you had already started your

115
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: thing on the range and I was just coming out

116
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 4: off course. But I, uh, but like, did you get

117
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 4: a look around as to what's going on there in terms.

118
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: Of yeah, look, I mean it is. I mean you

119
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: can't even really call it's nice. They have those those

120
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: uh those pop bunkers on each I got a little glimpse.

121
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: I wanted to really walk over, but I was like,

122
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'll save I'll save my excitement for for

123
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: next Saturday because I wasn't really golfing. So but they're

124
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: telling me to look around and tell me all the

125
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: adjustments or upgrades I should say to the property. But yeah,

126
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: the places, I mean forts tight Range. I mean, the

127
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: place is legit. You know, it's not like it's it's

128
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: far far beyond you know what it was and what

129
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: it was going to be. So I mean, yeah, John's

130
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: dide an incredible job. And the places, yeah, I mean

131
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: I was looking around like these kids are lucky, you know,

132
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: they really are lucky. Like they have this amazing facility

133
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: and such a cool play around there, and it's awesome.

134
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and I think I say this all

135
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 4: the time. Now we're doing this Wednesday sunrise like dawn patrol,

136
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: like underground, Like if people show up at six.

137
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 5: Am, they just show up and we're going to we're off, right.

138
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 4: So I've always loved sunsets of Goat but now sun rises,

139
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 4: it just puts in a whole different, whole different light.

140
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: And I just think to myself and I'm raising my

141
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: son there, you know, we you know, we have family

142
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 4: time there. My little guy is now six, but like

143
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: he's like the little mayor of the place, right, I

144
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: can let him go and everybody's looking out for him,

145
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: and he knows everybody. And I think to myself, like,

146
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: what would we do without Goat Hill Park?

147
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 5: What would we do without.

148
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: This sort of the glue to the community that John has.

149
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: You know, he's resuscidate. It's like finding a it's like

150
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 4: finding a puppy on the side of the road or something.

151
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 4: You know, and then you know, you see all these

152
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: stories and you think to yourself, like this has happened

153
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: one little piece at a time. And then you know,

154
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,960

00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: Weir has come in, Charlie Hoffman and now Chris Riley,

158
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 4: who's who's a local. I just find this to be

159
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: it's just all that you know, the game has and

160
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: give so much, and the potential of the game. You know,

161
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 4: we we all have felt it in many different ways,

162
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 4: but here it is like just simplified and brought down

163
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 4: to the very essence of community, you know, connective tissue,

164
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 4: a place to call home and to feel safe and

165
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 4: welcome and warm without having to pay one hundred thousand

166
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: dollars membership, you know what I mean, Like it just

167
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 4: comes down to that.

168
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, this is our sixth fifth, sixth event,

169
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: I think, right, And you guys, you've always m seed

170
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: and you've always talked to me. And it's kind of

171
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: funny when I look, when I reflect, at least it's

172
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: you don't really like it was hard for me to

173
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: put a finger on what was so like I knew

174
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: it was really special. I knew it was really cool,

175
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: and I knew it felt different when I was on

176
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: property there. But the more you do it, the more

177
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: you kind of see the outcome and how the kids

178
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: are on property and how the parents are and like

179
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: you said, how the family show families show up and

180
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: how community shows up, and you do get that big

181
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: presence of the community. And you know, the longer you

182
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: kind of do this, you do you summed it up

183
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: very nicely, like I wouldn't have been able to sort

184
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: of after two or three years at at Goat Hill,

185
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: I had that feeling, but it was hard for me

186
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: to describe and pinpoint what made me feel so like

187
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: warm on property and then everything you just said that

188
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: that really hits home, you know, even when I'm doing

189
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: I did the Colony boxt week and it was it

190
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: was it was awesome and it's I was telling I

191
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: was telling my wife, I was like, what a what

192
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: a cool place to sort of start because the people there,

193
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: and you know, the people showing up and the way

194
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: the kids are and the way the kids were, you know,

195
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: during that clinic, I was sort of nervous. I've never

196
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: really done anything like that. Where I had nothing to

197
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: really go off of. I was kind of just winging

198
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: it almost, and I was worried these kids weren't really

199
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: gonna ask any questions. And man, these kids were just

200
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: firing questions like they were going, they were teeing off.

201
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: Like the adults were quiet, you know, because they already

202
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: kind of listened to my spiel, and the kids were going,

203
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: they're coming after me. So it was, it was, it

204
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: was really cool. And then I heard, you know, a

205
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: couple of people traveled from from different parts just to

206
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: kind of because they've heard about the Goat and they've

207
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: heard about sort of that area and what that what

208
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: the Goat Hill brings to the community. So it really

209
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: is you summed it up really well. And the more I,

210
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: you know, the more time I spent on property, and

211
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: the more brawls we do, it really it kind of

212
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: cements that sort of feeling, and it does feel like

213
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: it's sort of, i don't know, like that old school

214
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: sort of cool to sac neighborhood vibe where everyone's house

215
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: is you know, everyone's front door is opened and you

216
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: can just walk in their house and grab anything out

217
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: of the fridge and kind of go back out and

218
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: play and then you know, even go take a shower

219
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: at a different person's house because it doesn't really matter,

220
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

221
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: And you know, you know, I know you're close with

222
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 4: the emerics, and and I say that. I said to Dave,

223
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 4: we just dropped the podcast yesterday on this, and I said, Dave,

224
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 4: this is literally your front point. I mean, you know,

225
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 4: if this golf course gets churned up, or if it

226
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: goes away, or if it stays sort of like you know,

227
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: underappreciated or poorly funded, what's the difference between your you know,

228
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 4: your you know, property value, just just baseline, the property

229
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: value of what you're looking out in your front yard.

230
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 5: You know.

231
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 4: Now he drives his cart into and he goes, he goes.

232
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 4: It's like I opened the gates of Heaven. Every day

233
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: like this is you know, I mean, you know, and

234
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: so the emerics and the locals. I know, some people

235
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 4: probably don't feel the same because their house might get

236
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 4: hit occasionally with golf balls. But John's tending to that,

237
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 4: and that's part of the reason why the eighteen. But

238
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 4: you know, this is it's it's it's so much deeper

239
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 4: and that park mentality, I think John says it all

240
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 4: the time. I look at this as a part where

241
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: you happen to play golf and if you if you

242
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 4: take that mentality and perspective and vision, because then it

243
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 4: becomes a place where you can go and hang and

244
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 4: not have to feel intimidated by the game or by

245
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 4: certain sort of expectations of what you need to do

246
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 4: as a golfer. You're just there as a local. That

247
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 4: is the that that is why I think the clientele

248
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 4: is so diverse and why you have men, women, boys, girls, young, old,

249
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 4: all different shape sizes, colors and skill levels like that.

250
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 5: And you got.

251
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 4: Affordability, right, thirty dollars and thirty five dollars green fee.

252
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: That is just the sum total of what John and

253
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 4: Dave and you know, the whole team as has cultivated here.

254
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 4: And you know, yeah, the last ten years gone from

255
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 4: zero to sixty, slow lane to fast lane. You cannot

256
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 4: get a tea time today's Andy. You will not be

257
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: able to rock up and just like get a tea

258
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 4: time a goat Hill Park.

259
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: There. I mean, there's just there's nowhere else like it.

260
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: And like you said, there's nowhere else that is where

261
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: you can kind of show up and you know, with's

262
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: the shirt off if you wanted you know what I mean?

263
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: Because you are in a park. Anyone can show up

264
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: to a park. You can have a picnic in the park,

265
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: you can play off in the park. You can throw

266
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: a football, you can throw a frisbee, you can bring

267
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: your dogs, you can bring a stroller. It doesn't really matter.

268
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: So I get it. I'm not surprised it's completely booked out.

269
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 4: All right, So wishbone brawl. You and Chris Riley, let's

270
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: start there. What do you have a history with Chris

271
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: or what's your what's your relationship? How are you feeling

272
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: about this part? You know, I don't think we've ever

273
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 4: had the same field in all six bro there's never

274
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 4: been a repeat, you know, competition, there's been you know,

275
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: you and Dean have won a couple and Dean, I

276
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 4: think one with Mike.

277
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 5: We're one year and you're like, that's it. I'm going

278
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 5: back to Dean.

279
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 4: But here you got you got Chris Riley this year.

280
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 5: How you feeling.

281
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was yeah, Fred super bummed. Obviously Fred couldn't

282
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: make it. And then Dean's got a family matter. And

283
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: then I think Ash saw Riley at the grocery store.

284
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: I saw him.

285
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 5: I saw him at the DMV.

286
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: This is you saw him at the DNV, that's right,

287
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: and you kind of like mentioned it to him. I'm like,

288
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: you don't want to talk about community here. So I

289
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: showt him a text. I think ashe told me that

290
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: you saw him at the DMV, and he texted me,

291
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: He's like, you need a partner, and I was like,

292
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: I was like, Chuck is in Bermuda. I was like,

293
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: I'll just text Ryles and I because Riles is always like, dude,

294
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: invite me to play. So I hit him up and

295
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean he literally gave me a thumbs up. Didn't

296
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: even ask about when or you know, the time or anything.

297
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: He just was like, I'm in. And I was like, perfect,

298
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: We're partners. So he's he's awesome. He's really good with kids.

299
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: He is, you know, a steaky legend here in San Diego.

300
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: He's currently coaching at a USD, doing a great job,

301
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: and he still plays. I think he plays quite a

302
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: bit with his kids. So he's he's going to be

303
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: an awesome partner.

304
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: His daughter's legit, and he's he's going to make a run.

305
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 4: He's going to turn fifty next year and he's going

306
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 4: to make a run on the Champions Tour. I think

307
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 4: he's going to leave USD. And so, yeah, the the

308
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 4: idea there was talk about.

309
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 5: Like oh, is Dean gonna be able to make it?

310
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 4: And what's going to happen and who's the four that

311
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 4: at that time it was still four And I'm texting

312
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 4: with John that morning and I'm trying to get a

313
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 4: new driver's license. I'm going through the whole dmb L,

314
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 4: like you know, the whole dmb thing that God forbid.

315
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 4: And I'm in the middle of somewhere San Diego.

316
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 5: I don't even know.

317
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 4: I could not tell you where I was to this day.

318
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 4: And I'm going through and I'm doing the lines and

319
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 4: I'm hitting all my marks, and I get called to

320
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 4: my window of like a twenty eight right, and I'm

321
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: up at a twenty eight and someone goes Janella, and

322
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 4: I was like, who could I possibly.

323
00:15:59,200 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 5: Know in this?

324
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: And I look to my left and it's Chris Riley

325
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: at a twenty seventh, I mean, and I was like, Ryles,

326
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 4: And it's so crazy because we're talking about the Wishbone

327
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 4: braw and I don't know how this is going to

328
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 4: shake out, But like they're looking, you know, they might

329
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 4: be looking for a guy who goes, well, I'm always

330
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 4: in I might go just to watch even if I

331
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 4: don't play, which he's done in the past, you know

332
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 4: what I mean. And that's how serendipitous that whole situation was.

333
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 5: I mean, I can't make it, make it up.

334
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: You can't make it up.

335
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 5: You know.

336
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 4: And then now we've got Colin Featherstone, San Diego State

337
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 4: grad by the way, twenty twelve, who you know, had

338
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 4: a really solid year on the corn Ferry Tour last year,

339
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 4: pairing up with you know, the legend himself and Jeff

340
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 4: Ogilvie and link soldier and goat lover and proponent of

341
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: an event like Wishbone Brawl to the point where he

342
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 4: started the sand Belt Invitational, where men and women compete

343
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 4: on you know, elite venues in the same kind of format.

344
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 5: So got to be a little concerned about that squad.

345
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, Uh yeah, they're they're both staples. Featherstone probably,

346
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean, actually know for a fact out of anyone

347
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: the twins may have logged more round growing up, but

348
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: as I'd say, now that they're in college, they're out

349
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: of town. Feather Featherstone for sure has log the most

350
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: reps and rounds at goats, so it's gonna yeah, it's

351
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna be. I mean, we get for Simon Woods, you

352
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: know as always, so that'll that'll hopefully level the playing

353
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: ground a little bit and make it a little bit

354
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: weirder for them in terms of like what yardes they have.

355
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, we're i'd say we we might be slight

356
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: dogs here.

357
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 4: I mean, father is going to be a handful, I

358
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 4: can promise you. I played with them last Saturday and

359
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 4: it was like this. The the amount of yards he

360
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 4: hit away from the hole, you know, like in a

361
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 4: combined was not much. It was not a big number,

362
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, just kept going very close

363
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 4: to the hole. I was like, he's this feather. This

364
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 4: is not He's not He's not messing around. I think

365
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 4: he's been. He's been itching to try to be a

366
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 4: part of this event for a while now.

367
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 5: And I think he has three nine.

368
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 4: Unders at goad Hill Park with Persimmon woods, and will

369
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 4: will Crop has break. Yeah.

370
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean I saw I saw feather out at the

371
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: at the goat when I did that event. He shot

372
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: there's like a club championship or something you shot, like

373
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: a scramble. He sat like fifteen hundred with his partner.

374
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 4: Like you know, I was with him that day. It

375
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 4: was was a two man scramble they had, you know,

376
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 4: it was a he was feather in it and and

377
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 4: he's the guy. His partner was a two handicap. We

378
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: played with him, we were six hunder, felt like we

379
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 4: played good and we lost to him by six. I

380
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 4: mean they were like Road to Tilly, Road to tild Us.

381
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: So I was like, oh shit, and now yeah you

384
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 4: Goahill Park and this this, this beautiful story that's developing

385
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 4: as this as this hub of community they are that

386
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 4: they're like the poster childs of this this, this, this, this,

387
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 4: you know, this story that John has has cultivated because

388
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 4: they go from North County Junior golf with Dave, they

389
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 4: go to scoring and standard bearing and caddying at the

390
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 4: Wishbone Brawl. Last year's ender, they couldn't watch because they're

391
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 4: helping their brother at the hot dog stand. And this year,

392
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 4: after coming off, they just won back to back tournaments

393
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 4: at Long Beach State. One of them is the Big

394
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 4: West Player of the Year of the month because she

395
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 4: has a scoring average below seventy. And they are like

396
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 4: at home at Goat Hill Park, and they're going to

397
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 4: have like a ton of home energy. Plus they get

398
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 4: Ada and Annabelle Lee, who are currently in the Junior

399
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 4: Caddy and Leadership Academy. And Fred said, the two best

400
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 4: caddies in San Diego. So you're going to have to compete,

401
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 4: not with just those two, you got to compete with

402
00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 4: those four.

403
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: And when I said I was we were slight dogs.

404
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: I was talking to the field. Yes, oh wa Ash

405
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: gave me, was giving me updates on on the twins.

406
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: I saw, I have a hot dog. I saw. I

407
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: don't know the brother's name, but I knew. I knew

408
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: he was a brother. I saw him. I talked to

409
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: him a little bit at the event. He was he

410
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: was growing up some dogs and he was, we're talking

411
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: about it. So yeah, I mean they are. They are

412
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: the poster family for the event. To be completely honest,

413
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: I mean I had I can't differentiate the twins always

414
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 1: when I see them. Sometimes can but I can't remember

415
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: which one caddide for me. But I've had I think

416
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: both maybe have caddied for me in this event, and

417
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: now they're shooting sixty fowards in college. So what are

418
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You know, I'm gonna have to go.

419
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: I need to go to the range right now after

420
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: we get off this phone Calle was about to happen.

421
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 5: I'm telling you about this is gonna be.

422
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 4: This is gonna be. And I think the idea of

423
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 4: kind of going to three twosome's and and so essentially

424
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 4: becomes a stroke play event as opposed to match play

425
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 4: making sure it goes to eighteen, which is a nice.

426
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 4: I mean, it's kind of always goes to eighteen anyway,

427
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 4: and it's gone beyond in some cases. But I think

428
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 4: this is a cool opportunity to make it almost like

429
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 4: guaranteed it's coming to eighteen.

430
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 5: Anything can happen at any point.

431
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 4: I think is kind of a nice And the addition

432
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 4: of going back to you know again Goadhill Park forty

433
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 4: five hundred yards par sixty five, where we're at with

434
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: the games and er in terms of the growth of

435
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 4: women and you know, incorporating you know, there's all this

436
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 4: murmur and it's going to be happening I know you're

437
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 4: going to be a part of it. But men and

438
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 4: women playing together in this case, Godhill Park is like

439
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 4: the perfect venue in which they can play against each other,

440
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 4: you know what I mean where you know, distance is

441
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 4: always a factor, but it's mitigated by by you know,

442
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: the way this golf course works in terms of elevation

443
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: changes and working the ball right and left and having

444
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 4: to hit your spots.

445
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 5: Can't really overpower the goat.

446
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 4: Don't you feel like this is like the perfect venue,

447
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 4: the perfect event in which we can showcase how and

448
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 4: why men and women can play the game against each other,

449
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 4: same tease, same course, same time.

450
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

451
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely, the way the way you goat hills route, the

452
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: routing of the property, and it's like it's a sneaky distance.

453
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't really feel that you are as you just

454
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: spit out to me. It can kind of play a

455
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: little longer just because the way some of the trees

456
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: and the doglegs sit, you can't always, like you said,

457
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: you can't really overpower it. And sometimes when you try

458
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: and force it, you get goaded. And that's that's happened

459
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: to me. That happened to me in my first ever brawl.

460
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: So I was cruising down the property and try to

461
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: force it and I know it hit some dirt mound

462
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: just to the right of the par five and my

463
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: ball was like in a canyon and all these kids

464
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: are looking for my ball and end up making like

465
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: an eight on a part five and I was, you know,

466
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: sitting there looking my chops trying to make an eagle.

467
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, distance is not is not key. It's it's

468
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: a much more precision and leaving yourself, you know, below

469
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: the hole and scrambling. Short game is big out there.

470
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: You know, you're not always gonna hit greens and you

471
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: got you know, it's a no park, so you've got

472
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of different types of grass and it doesn't

473
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: really give you know, any man or any woman a

474
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: true edge maybe on two or three holes with the

475
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: part fives, but that's you know, that's honestly it. And

476
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: I think all the girls can reach at least two

477
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: twins for sure, can reach the par fives and two

478
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: no problems. So it's uh, well, you know, perfect setup,

479
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: perfect venue, and yeah, I think going to stroke play

480
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: funny enough. I don't know how our matches have always

481
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: gone to eighteen. It's incredible now that I think back

482
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: on it, you know, but it just shows how fair

483
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: fair the course plays, and the better team will definitely win.

484
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 4: And the volatility of scoring is always there because you know,

485
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 4: you know, there are those reachable fours and that you

486
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 4: know they talked about that part five. But the par threes,

487
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 4: the eight par threes are you can make a two

488
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 4: or a ten.

489
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you missed the green. Your ball is you know,

490
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: fifty feet below a surface. It's it is. It's far from.

491
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 4: Ideal when when you're out there and you're traveling the

492
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 4: world and you're you're engaged in all these you know,

493
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 4: these elite level events, do you ever get does do

494
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 4: any better ever? Does the wishbone brawl come up? Or

495
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 4: does anybody ever talk to you? Or like on the

496
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 4: heels of this, do you get shout outs or text messages?

497
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: Is this something of a national you know, a global curiosity?

498
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean I think all the all the all the

499
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 1: all my boys, all my teammates on Ryder Cup kind

500
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: of know about it. They whenever, you know, they ask

501
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: what I'm up to or anything, they always know of

502
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: this event I played, and especially since Fred Tapton to

503
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: playing last year, this event that I played with Persimon

504
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: was and they all think it's awesome just to sort

505
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: of go back in time away from our current technology.

506
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: And they know everyone I'd say, all the all the

507
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: top RAND guys are so charitable, so they all kind

508
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: of know what it means to the community, and to

509
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: sort of tie it into competition and old technology and

510
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: equipment is just a really cool thing. So I'd say, yeah,

511
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the boys are pretty aware of the

512
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: event and or or you know, some thought or idea

513
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: of it.

514
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 4: The you know, we talk about this every year, but

515
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 4: I think it's important. As you know, they're I think

516
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 4: they're upwards of almost two a thousand tickets, which then

517
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 4: means that's not counting kids. So now you'd say three

518
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 4: hundred and four hundred kids and probably fifty to one

519
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 4: hundred dogs. And as John always points out, you know,

520
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 4: no rope, so let kids come up front. And I

521
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 4: think it'll be nice because it'll move at almost a

522
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 4: little slower pace. This sometimes it almost goes too fast,

523
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 4: you know, like yeah, for sure, so having six balls

524
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 4: and play might kind of slow it down and allow

525
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 4: people to kind of get in position. But and I

526
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 4: know I talked to Jasmine and Jane about this. I've

527
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 4: talked to Jeff and Rowle's but looking into the crowd

528
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 4: and watching seeing the faces on these kids, and I'm

529
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 4: sure you probably had some of that last Saturday too.

530
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 4: It brings us all back to our childhood. It brings

531
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 4: us back to a simpler time with all the craziness

532
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 4: that's happened in the world around us, beyond well beyond

533
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 4: the world of golf. It's just it's it's nice to

534
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 4: be able to take a second, take a breath, look

535
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 4: into the eyes of these kids, remember who we were then,

536
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 4: and know that the impact that we can have on

537
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 4: them as because I'm sure that probably means something to you,

538
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 4: right Like this is that moment I'm you know, you're

539
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 4: starting a family, you're building up you know, who knows.

540
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 4: But like it'd just become more and more meaningful as

541
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 4: I think we age out into you know, our adult life.

542
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it gives it kind of adds for me at least,

543
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: it definitely sort of adds to the whole purpose purpose

544
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: point in life a little bit. You know. I actually

545
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: was telling my wife, you know, it really is sounds

546
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: like a cliche, but I was like, it really is

547
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: about the kids. You know, during when I was doing

548
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: that clinic, you know, I was a little nervous and

549
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: seeing all these kids so happy and just so just

550
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: so blue eyed, is so innocent too. Not all of

551
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: them are innstant. They're asking me some tough questions. But yeah,

552
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: it brought me. It brought me way back, you know,

553
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: way way back to when I was just sitting on

554
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: the range as a kid, just hitting balls and I

555
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: was just just a happy kid, you know, And it

556
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: makes me feel really lucky. It makes me feel really blessed.

557
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, when I look into the crowd, everyone's so excited,

558
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: everyone's so happy, and like you said, there's one hundred dogs,

559
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: so if the kids aren't super into golf, they're playing

560
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: with the dogs. But for the most part, you are

561
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: just marching down these fairways and you just have this

562
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: wave of people and there are no ropes, and everyone,

563
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, anyone and everyone can just come up to

564
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: say what's up. I remember one of the cool moments.

565
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: These two girls gave me a bracelet last year on

566
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: one of the par fives, and I put it on

567
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: and I ended up chipping in on the next one

568
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: and turning around to them and seeing how happy they were.

569
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: I still have the bracelets in my back. You know,

570
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: I'll probably you know, I'll probably they're going to be

571
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: out there, I assume, so I'll throw it on for

572
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: the event smiles. So it's just small, small things like that,

573
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: and it does, it does make you feel really small,

574
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: i'd say, in the whole scheme of things, and just

575
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: to be able to make a few extra kids smile

576
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: along the way is really meaningful to me.

577
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 4: I've always said that. And this is this is this

578
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: is pretty well documented that you know, Native Americans used

579
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 4: to use that land that fifteenth t seventh tea box

580
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 4: overlooking the land. If you look out the back of

581
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: those tea boxes, it goes all the way out to

582
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 4: the ocean. So Native Americans, you know, if you, if you,

583
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: if you I've talked to a land specialist. Essentially that's

584
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 4: that was the home base of a Native Native American

585
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 4: tribe that used to look out because that used to

586
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 4: be a water or a river. That that that road

587
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 4: that goes down Oceanside Boulevard that goes all the way

588
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 4: out to the water, that river.

589
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 5: They used to sit up there. That there's there's shells and.

590
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 4: Rocks and things that sort of take you back to

591
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 4: that are origins of that land. I've always said that

592
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 4: with John saving this land, this is there's something special

593
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 4: there that I think the land feels, you know, I

594
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 4: know this is crazy and deep, but I think the

595
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 4: land feels appreciative that it gets to still be what

596
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 4: it is and people get to roam around there and

597
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 4: have these walks and hikes with their families and dogs,

598
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 4: and and I think if you look back at this

599
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 4: Wishbone Brawl, specifically, you're chipping on fifteen, Jeff's ace on

600
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 4: the playoff hole, Will Crops putt on seventeen, Dean's ace

601
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 4: on number five. You know, Chris Riley making you know,

602
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: buckets and buckets of putts, you know, coming off like

603
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 4: not playing a ton of golf, and all of a sudden,

604
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 4: you know, I just you know, I get chills even

605
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,239
Speaker 4: talking about it, because it just seems like there's going

606
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 4: to be something special that happens again this year. There's

607
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 4: going to be something like there's magic in that land

608
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 4: and this is a magical event. That's the sum total

609
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 4: of all that's been done for you and your career,

610
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 4: you know, Jeff, and you go back to Dean's idea

611
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 4: and John and his life and career, and it can

612
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 4: go to me in mind, but I think everybody has

613
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 4: a little piece of that that's put into this We're

614
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 4: all in it together kind of a mentality, and that

615
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: energy is coming up out of the ground and into

616
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 4: this event.

617
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 5: And I think.

618
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 4: That's I know that sounds deep, but I just feel

619
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 4: like it's a reality. I really do.

620
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: Now I don't, I don't, I don't. I don't think

621
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: it's far fast at all or too deep. I mean,

622
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm a big fan of using the

623
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: land to benefit and I think I think that place

624
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: means something different. You know, everyone is there, and it

625
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: means it's different. The meaning of Goat Hills is different

626
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: to each and every dive, whether it's one of the dogs,

627
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: or one of the kids, or a teenager or a

628
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: high schooler or someone's grandparents. You know, that's an a

629
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: stroller like you see it all out there. So I

630
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: think the fact that one one one spot can give

631
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: so much meaning to so many different people, it shows how,

632
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, truly special it is. And I didn't know

633
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: that fact about the property, and you know, for John

634
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: to sort of honor in that way, to keep it

635
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: apart and to just keep it as a sort of

636
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: raw land and as a home to so many is

637
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: a really cool thing.

638
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 4: All great, Uh, And obviously you've you've you've taken all

639
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 4: of this to a level that I don't think anybody

640
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 4: could have ever imagined. And so on behalf of the community,

641
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 4: and you know, I mean, you'll get a lot of appreciation.

642
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 4: Probably got it last Saturday, You'll continue to get it

643
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,040
