WEBVTT - Wishbone Brawl is Back, Bigger and Better Than Ever: PART 2 w/ Xander Schauffele 0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:06.040 I remember one of the cool moments. These two girls 0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:08.280 gave me a bracelet last year on one of the 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:10.160 Part five's and I put it on and I ended 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:13.119 up chipping in on the next one and turning around 0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:15.120 to them and seeing how happy they were. I still 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:16.320 have the bracelets. 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:16.319 In my back. 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:18.079 You know, I'll probably, you know, I'll probably they're going 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.079 to be out there, I assume, so I'll throw it 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.080 on for the event tomorrow. So it's just small, small 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.560 things like that, and it does it does make you 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.320 feel really small, i'd say, in the whole scheme of things, 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:31.560 and just to be able to make a few extra 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.680 kids smile along the ways is really meaningful to me. 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:46.920 Put another log on the fire Nobody here is get 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:47.360 the time. 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:56.480 Welcome to the fire Pit with Matt Chanella as goad 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.000 Hill Park lights the kindling and their new fire pit 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.560 to the left of the first we're sharing part two 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.520 of our Wishbone bral preview featuring Xander Schoffley, currently number 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.679 six in the world, winner of seven PGA Tour events, 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:13.679 one Olympic gold medal and three Wishbone brawls.

If I hear you, I'm 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.840 headed up there this morning. I'm bringing my little guy 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.560 and we're gonna we're gonna play with Colin and Ogilvy's 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.120 running a little late. He's flying in from Melbourne today. 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:47.280 He's flight is delayed, so he's he's gonna come come 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.600 in hot to try to make a twelve to ten time. 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:55.640 He's incredible, doesn't he go back after the you meant too? 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:56.280 Yeah? 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.520 I think he's literally coming for like two days from 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.160 Australia to play the wishbumb Brell. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.720 Yeah, because I know they have. He has all of 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.840 his like National opens right like shortly after, I think. 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.920 Yeah, and then and then his Sandbelt Invitational in like 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.280 three weeks, and you know, so he's got a lot 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.200 going on. I mean, but I I you know, if 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:19.919 you talk to him, he's like, I would never miss this, 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.520 Like I think he's and I think Fred is bump. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.560 Fred tried to move things around because he hated the 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.120 idea that he was going to miss it. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.920 I think it's it's just something. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.719 That you know, as we've discussed before. 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.440 I just think it's one of the. 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.640 You know as you know full well, all that's happening 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.200 at the top level of professional golf can be just 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:49.280 so overwhelming and just uh, you know, hard to navigate 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.360 as probably a player, but also as a consumer, as 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.560 a as a viewer, you know, just sort of watching 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.720 all of this unfold and hopefully it comes to some 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.360 sort of resolution. But in the meantime, it's thing like 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.440 this that I just find to be just so clean 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.360 and simple and special and an impactful you know what 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:08.720 I mean? 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.720 Yeah, No, for sure, that's Yeah. There's a lot of 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.400 stuff and a lot of noise that seems to be 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.839 going on during whether it's our Ryder Cups or like 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:24.159 normal events, and this is a yeah, I mean for me, 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.039 this is kind of where where it all started, so 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.120 or at least it makes me feel like it connects 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.719 me back to where it all started, which is what 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.200 I love about it. So it's kind of a breath 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.080 of fresh air and a nice origin for the roots. 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:45.000 Yeah, I would imagine, And again it does that for me. Obviously, 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.919 Goat Hill Park has done that for John right, this 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.800 was a place that he grew up playing and that's 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.160 why he decided to fight so hard to save it. 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.400 You know I remember ten eleven years ago. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:55.479 He's like, I grew up. 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.560 We can't let this die, you know what I mean, 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.960 we can't let this die. And wait, I don't know 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:01.120 you were there last night. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:01.520 I saw you. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.880 I didn't say hi because you had already started your 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.760 thing on the range and I was just coming out 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:10.159 off course. But I, uh, but like, did you get 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.760 a look around as to what's going on there in terms. 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.200 Of yeah, look, I mean it is. I mean you 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.840 can't even really call it's nice. They have those those 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:23.000 uh those pop bunkers on each I got a little glimpse. 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.039 I wanted to really walk over, but I was like, 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.000 you know, I'll save I'll save my excitement for for 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.680 next Saturday because I wasn't really golfing. So but they're 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.880 telling me to look around and tell me all the 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.400 adjustments or upgrades I should say to the property. But yeah, 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.240 the places, I mean forts tight Range. I mean, the 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:44.240 place is legit. You know, it's not like it's it's 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.000 far far beyond you know what it was and what 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.159 it was going to be. So I mean, yeah, John's 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.880 dide an incredible job. And the places, yeah, I mean 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.080 I was looking around like these kids are lucky, you know, 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.640 they really are lucky. Like they have this amazing facility 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.960 and such a cool play around there, and it's awesome. 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.840 Yeah, I mean, and I think I say this all 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.600 the time. Now we're doing this Wednesday sunrise like dawn patrol, 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.960 like underground, Like if people show up at six. 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.080 Am, they just show up and we're going to we're off, right. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.880 So I've always loved sunsets of Goat but now sun rises, 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.040 it just puts in a whole different, whole different light. 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.720 And I just think to myself and I'm raising my 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.160 son there, you know, we you know, we have family 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.600 time there. My little guy is now six, but like 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.320 he's like the little mayor of the place, right, I 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.520 can let him go and everybody's looking out for him, 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.840 and he knows everybody. And I think to myself, like, 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.960 what would we do without Goat Hill Park? 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:40.480 What would we do without. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.640 This sort of the glue to the community that John has. 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.520 You know, he's resuscidate. It's like finding a it's like 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.240 finding a puppy on the side of the road or something. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.160 You know, and then you know, you see all these 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.520 stories and you think to yourself, like this has happened 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.800 one little piece at a time. And then you know, 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:03.960 obviously the Wishbone Brawl, Well your involvement, people like Dean 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.080 and and people like Jeff making the effort, and and 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.320 you know you got Freddy and and you know Mike 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.600 Weir has come in, Charlie Hoffman and now Chris Riley, 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.680 who's who's a local. I just find this to be 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.840 it's just all that you know, the game has and 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:23.280 give so much, and the potential of the game. You know, 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.040 we we all have felt it in many different ways, 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.000 but here it is like just simplified and brought down 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:33.520 to the very essence of community, you know, connective tissue, 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.480 a place to call home and to feel safe and 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.559 welcome and warm without having to pay one hundred thousand 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.480 dollars membership, you know what I mean, Like it just 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:43.840 comes down to that. 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:50.160 Yeah, it's you know, this is our sixth fifth, sixth event, 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:54.400 I think, right, And you guys, you've always m seed 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.880 and you've always talked to me. And it's kind of 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.959 funny when I look, when I reflect, at least it's 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:02.839 you don't really like it was hard for me to 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.400 put a finger on what was so like I knew 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.480 it was really special. I knew it was really cool, 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.200 and I knew it felt different when I was on 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:14.360 property there. But the more you do it, the more 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.840 you kind of see the outcome and how the kids 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.560 are on property and how the parents are and like 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.800 you said, how the family show families show up and 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.120 how community shows up, and you do get that big 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.880 presence of the community. And you know, the longer you 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:29.840 kind of do this, you do you summed it up 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.280 very nicely, like I wouldn't have been able to sort 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.440 of after two or three years at at Goat Hill, 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.400 I had that feeling, but it was hard for me 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.000 to describe and pinpoint what made me feel so like 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.960 warm on property and then everything you just said that 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.000 that really hits home, you know, even when I'm doing 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.520 I did the Colony boxt week and it was it 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.000 was it was awesome and it's I was telling I 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:53.960 was telling my wife, I was like, what a what 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.720 a cool place to sort of start because the people there, 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.360 and you know, the people showing up and the way 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.079 the kids are and the way the kids were, you know, 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.199 during that clinic, I was sort of nervous. I've never 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.840 really done anything like that. Where I had nothing to 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.360 really go off of. I was kind of just winging 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.800 it almost, and I was worried these kids weren't really 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.720 gonna ask any questions. And man, these kids were just 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.880 firing questions like they were going, they were teeing off. 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.040 Like the adults were quiet, you know, because they already 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:20.840 kind of listened to my spiel, and the kids were going, 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.920 they're coming after me. So it was, it was, it 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.160 was really cool. And then I heard, you know, a 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.480 couple of people traveled from from different parts just to 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.560 kind of because they've heard about the Goat and they've 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.679 heard about sort of that area and what that what 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.600 the Goat Hill brings to the community. So it really 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:41.800 is you summed it up really well. And the more I, 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.280 you know, the more time I spent on property, and 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.280 the more brawls we do, it really it kind of 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.000 cements that sort of feeling, and it does feel like 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:53.880 it's sort of, i don't know, like that old school 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.320 sort of cool to sac neighborhood vibe where everyone's house 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.040 is you know, everyone's front door is opened and you 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.920 can just walk in their house and grab anything out 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.160 of the fridge and kind of go back out and 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.200 play and then you know, even go take a shower 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.400 at a different person's house because it doesn't really matter, 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:08.880 you know what I mean. 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.200 And you know, you know, I know you're close with 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.360 the emerics, and and I say that. I said to Dave, 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.720 we just dropped the podcast yesterday on this, and I said, Dave, 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.320 this is literally your front point. I mean, you know, 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.880 if this golf course gets churned up, or if it 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.520 goes away, or if it stays sort of like you know, 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:33.160 underappreciated or poorly funded, what's the difference between your you know, 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.360 your you know, property value, just just baseline, the property 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.920 value of what you're looking out in your front yard. 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:41.280 You know. 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.839 Now he drives his cart into and he goes, he goes. 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.040 It's like I opened the gates of Heaven. Every day 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.360 like this is you know, I mean, you know, and 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.240 so the emerics and the locals. I know, some people 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.480 probably don't feel the same because their house might get 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.160 hit occasionally with golf balls. But John's tending to that, 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.440 and that's part of the reason why the eighteen. But 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:05.240 you know, this is it's it's it's so much deeper 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.240 and that park mentality, I think John says it all 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.560 the time. I look at this as a part where 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.920 you happen to play golf and if you if you 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:18.440 take that mentality and perspective and vision, because then it 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.560 becomes a place where you can go and hang and 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:24.320 not have to feel intimidated by the game or by 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.959 certain sort of expectations of what you need to do 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:31.320 as a golfer. You're just there as a local. That 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.200 is the that that is why I think the clientele 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:40.360 is so diverse and why you have men, women, boys, girls, young, old, 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:45.880 all different shape sizes, colors and skill levels like that. 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:47.040 And you got. 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.960 Affordability, right, thirty dollars and thirty five dollars green fee. 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.640 That is just the sum total of what John and 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:58.439 Dave and you know, the whole team as has cultivated here. 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.400 And you know, yeah, the last ten years gone from 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.840 zero to sixty, slow lane to fast lane. You cannot 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.200 get a tea time today's Andy. You will not be 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.160 able to rock up and just like get a tea 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:11.400 time a goat Hill Park. 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.600 There. I mean, there's just there's nowhere else like it. 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.800 And like you said, there's nowhere else that is where 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.520 you can kind of show up and you know, with's 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.200 the shirt off if you wanted you know what I mean? 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.960 Because you are in a park. Anyone can show up 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.520 to a park. You can have a picnic in the park, 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:26.840 you can play off in the park. You can throw 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:28.400 a football, you can throw a frisbee, you can bring 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.240 your dogs, you can bring a stroller. It doesn't really matter. 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:35.439 So I get it. I'm not surprised it's completely booked out. 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:41.960 All right, So wishbone brawl. You and Chris Riley, let's 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.600 start there. What do you have a history with Chris 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.920 or what's your what's your relationship? How are you feeling 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.160 about this part? You know, I don't think we've ever 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.440 had the same field in all six bro there's never 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:58.120 been a repeat, you know, competition, there's been you know, 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.800 you and Dean have won a couple and Dean, I 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:01.600 think one with Mike. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.240 We're one year and you're like, that's it. I'm going 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:03.679 back to Dean. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.040 But here you got you got Chris Riley this year. 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:06.640 How you feeling. 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:13.560 Yeah, it was yeah, Fred super bummed. Obviously Fred couldn't 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.160 make it. And then Dean's got a family matter. And 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:20.960 then I think Ash saw Riley at the grocery store. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:22.320 I saw him. 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:23.760 I saw him at the DMV. 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.160 This is you saw him at the DNV, that's right, 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.600 and you kind of like mentioned it to him. I'm like, 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.120 you don't want to talk about community here. So I 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.160 showt him a text. I think ashe told me that 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.040 you saw him at the DMV, and he texted me, 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:37.400 He's like, you need a partner, and I was like, 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.120 I was like, Chuck is in Bermuda. I was like, 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.920 I'll just text Ryles and I because Riles is always like, dude, 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.040 invite me to play. So I hit him up and 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.080 I mean he literally gave me a thumbs up. Didn't 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.280 even ask about when or you know, the time or anything. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.680 He just was like, I'm in. And I was like, perfect, 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.960 We're partners. So he's he's awesome. He's really good with kids. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:04.160 He is, you know, a steaky legend here in San Diego. 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.240 He's currently coaching at a USD, doing a great job, 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.560 and he still plays. I think he plays quite a 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.600 bit with his kids. So he's he's going to be 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:14.400 an awesome partner. 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.880 His daughter's legit, and he's he's going to make a run. 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.800 He's going to turn fifty next year and he's going 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.440 to make a run on the Champions Tour. I think 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.480 he's going to leave USD. And so, yeah, the the 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.440 idea there was talk about. 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:27.840 Like oh, is Dean gonna be able to make it? 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:29.880 And what's going to happen and who's the four that 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.120 at that time it was still four And I'm texting 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.040 with John that morning and I'm trying to get a 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.080 new driver's license. I'm going through the whole dmb L, 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.840 like you know, the whole dmb thing that God forbid. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.600 And I'm in the middle of somewhere San Diego. 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:45.040 I don't even know. 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.360 I could not tell you where I was to this day. 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.520 And I'm going through and I'm doing the lines and 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.360 I'm hitting all my marks, and I get called to 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.160 my window of like a twenty eight right, and I'm 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.280 up at a twenty eight and someone goes Janella, and 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.680 I was like, who could I possibly. 0:15:59.200 --> 0:15:59.880 Know in this? 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.000 And I look to my left and it's Chris Riley 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:07.000 at a twenty seventh, I mean, and I was like, Ryles, 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.760 And it's so crazy because we're talking about the Wishbone 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.040 braw and I don't know how this is going to 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.120 shake out, But like they're looking, you know, they might 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.280 be looking for a guy who goes, well, I'm always 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.280 in I might go just to watch even if I 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.200 don't play, which he's done in the past, you know 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:24.000 what I mean. And that's how serendipitous that whole situation was. 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.000 I mean, I can't make it, make it up. 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:28.280 You can't make it up. 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:30.000 You know. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:34.680 And then now we've got Colin Featherstone, San Diego State 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.200 grad by the way, twenty twelve, who you know, had 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.160 a really solid year on the corn Ferry Tour last year, 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.440 pairing up with you know, the legend himself and Jeff 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:48.000 Ogilvie and link soldier and goat lover and proponent of 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.960 an event like Wishbone Brawl to the point where he 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.080 started the sand Belt Invitational, where men and women compete 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.280 on you know, elite venues in the same kind of format. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.760 So got to be a little concerned about that squad. 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:06.720 Yeah, of course, Uh yeah, they're they're both staples. Featherstone probably, 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:09.680 I mean, actually know for a fact out of anyone 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:14.080 the twins may have logged more round growing up, but 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.640 as I'd say, now that they're in college, they're out 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.639 of town. Feather Featherstone for sure has log the most 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.920 reps and rounds at goats, so it's gonna yeah, it's 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.600 gonna be. I mean, we get for Simon Woods, you 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.560 know as always, so that'll that'll hopefully level the playing 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.800 ground a little bit and make it a little bit 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:34.960 weirder for them in terms of like what yardes they have. 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.240 But yeah, we're i'd say we we might be slight 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:38.880 dogs here. 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.800 I mean, father is going to be a handful, I 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:44.960 can promise you.

It was not a big number, 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.760 you know what I mean, just kept going very close 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:00.919 to the hole. I was like, he's this feather. This 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.160 is not He's not He's not messing around. I think 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.679 he's been.
