WEBVTT - Olympics optimism, Australia apologies, and Eastern elitism 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.160 Now, the Shotgun Starting golf is full of mathematics. There's 0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:06.240 a lot of a lot of setup work that we 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.200 have to do in order to make a tournament work. 0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.080 So I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.440 we do a shotgun start here and where we. 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:17.599 All right? 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:22.200 Alright, alright, dig Man. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:25.560 Dart, your. 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.560 Greetings. Welcome to a Wednesday edition of The Shotguns Start. 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.639 It is July twenty eighth. Andy, how are we. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:47.479 Doing, Brendan, I'm doing great. You know, I know I'm 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.720 doing a lot better than you. You know, you've been 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.240 what putting your you know, your feet bend to the fire. 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.880 I'm the Coles hot coals. Australian's coming at you left 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:57.360 and right. 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.760 National headlines talking about this in public. That's not true. 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:07.560 National headlines, that's not true. I've been learning a lot 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.520 of new words, a lot of new I mean, I 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:11.160 don't know if I'm learning. I'm just staying in the 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.200 dark when I'm being called a lot of mean things 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.320 by Australians. Look, I didn't know we were talking about 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.559 this on the podcast. I made a joke tweet about 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:25.360 the swimming coach. Was you know, if I'm being honest, 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.160 not joking, acting like a Yahoo acting like a buffoon 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.880 up there over celebrating. But it's fine, he could do that. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.000 I don't have any serious criticisms of him. I tweeted 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.840 something about him was a disgrace to the game. Clearly 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.200 that's a joke because swimming's not a game. A lot 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.640 of people are calling me an idiot for saying it 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.160 was a game. This is a sport. Like, yeah, I know, 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.720 it's a golf joke. Sorry, I mean it's in like 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.760 the Daily Mail, my tweet like about how Americans are 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.040 mad at the like it was a joke. I apologize 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.040 to the content of Australia. I mean the coach, you 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.520 know whatever, he could act however he wants. I don't 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.000 know that I agree with it. But the tweet was 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.240 just a just And now I'm getting it's two days 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.000 on I just we just hear record and one called 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.119 me somebody just tweeted me it sounds like a sore 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.880 loser from a nation of sore losers. And you're getting 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:20.440 all these lectures. It's unbelievable, and uh yeah, it's whatever. 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.079 It's a little entertainment on the side during vacation week. 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:27.359 Ause Australia, the continent gets worked out at me. I 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.160 didn't know you were going to bring that up. All right, 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:30.280 let's move on. 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.600 Imagine, just imagine if you start, if you start talking 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.880 about Mark Leishman's style of play, you know, batting it around, 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.080 They're just gonna get You. 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.840 Might bet me number one in Australia. 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.400 We would have to consult Mike Clayton to get to 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.079 rehab your image abroad. 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.919 The tweet was a joke. I just can't have fun 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.679 out to her. I should have known better that it 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.800 wouldn't be interpreted, you know. It's just the disgrace to 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.520 the game. I thought it was pretty clear I was 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.440 just mussing route. But anyways, I'll be rooting for camp Smith, 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.440 Mark Leishman and who had their caddies, whoever else is 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:12.800 in the Green and Gold this week at Kasumigaseki Golf Club. Anyways, 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.120 I love Australia. It seems like a much better place 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.679 than here. I'm sure it's fantastic. All right, schedule, let's 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.040 see our schedule for the week. The Wi fi spotty 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.800 at least I'm not on a phone here, but we'll 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.040 get through this schedule for the week we begin with 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:30.480 the men's Olympics golf competition that is at the aforementioned 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:36.520 Kasumigaseki Golf Club. It is not in Tokyo. It's you know, 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.119 it's at least two hours, hour and a half from 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:44.240 the Olympic village. Sixty man field. The men's this week, 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.760 women's next week, sixty players. I don't think we need 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.760 to get into you know, notables or who's not there. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.520 Who is there. We've lost Rom and Bryson, which we 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:59.520 talked about on Monday. The hours for that are six 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.400 thirty at three am. Wednesday is round one. So it's 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.080 gonna be like that basically Wednesday through Sunday six thirty 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.880 pm in the Eastern time zone of the United States 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.240 to three thirty am. So you're gonna have like a 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.839 metal ceremony Saturday night or Sunday morning, if you're being proper, 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.400 three thirty in the morning, with live from and other 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:28.080 things stressed up around it. So, I uh, you know, 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.800 I'm moderately excited. I'm intrigued by this event. I think, 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.479 you know, obviously the format is a big whiff. We 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.400 don't know, you need to get into that again. You know, 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.560 everybody's trying to reinvent the wheel on. 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.120 That thirty five articles about it. If you want to 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:47.240 read about it, I'll just twist on the same idea 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.080 that was the same idea four years ago. 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.479 But yeah, I mean I think you did you suggest 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.320 n cuble a. I think I know you have at 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.719 Cuba format. Everybody's that's double everybody everybody. 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.240 I'm not gonna I'm not gonna the claim being the uh, 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.479 the starter of that take. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.600 I feel like since the moment that the the format 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.159 came out, that's, uh, that's been kind of a drum 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.360 banged on and it's just, you know, a drum that's 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:13.560 gonna be banged on all. 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.400 Week, which is it's very true. 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.919 It sticks every other The Olympics are great because the 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.960 team competition and there's no team competition. 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:23.039 It's just ridiculous. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.599 Also, like the qualification stuff, it kind of robs me 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.160 the wrong way. Like I feel like, you know, like 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.560 the US having four guys in there, and if you're 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.240 a country that has like four guys in the top 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.600 one two hundred, you should get four guys. And if 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.080 you're in the top two hundred shouldn't be like regardless, 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.200 if you're only top twenty. 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:42.440 Like, let these. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.440 Countries have field full teams that have an equal opportunity 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:46.719 to get medals, like there. 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.440 Are ay, would you would you bump up the Americans 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.359 then too, because they have a lot more on the 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.919 top the cap it at four? Okay? 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.839 Yeah, Like I think what is it four if you're 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.279 if you have four in the top twenty or something. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.640 Like that, I think it's fifteen maybe, yeah. 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.440 I mean, but like it should be. I don't know. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:06.839 I look at like the Belgian team. 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.799 I just think it would add intrigue to the event 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.799 if he and say it maybe it's top two hundred, 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.000 top four hundred, I don't know it would be. I 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:20.159 think it would make it a more you know, representative 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.800 event that way, you know, limiting it to so few people, 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.320 Like if one of your two guys is in a 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.000 bad spot but played well for a year and it's 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.640 just in a funk like it, it just gives more 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:37.200 opportunity for countries like that aren't necessarily considered golf countries 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:38.360 to win a medal. 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.080 Right, which, which you know, if we're being honest, is 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.680 a primary, like not a primary point of this to 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.200 like maybe create national fervor in the game. Where it 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.880 doesn't already exist, you know, is one of the great 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.360 benefits that these competitions in the Olympics could. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.600 Like a perfect example is is Tom Tom Kim from 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.200 South Korea. I don't know if he'd be qualified, but 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.400 like he's an eight nineteen year old like Fena from 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.720 South Korea. Like, it would be cool to see him 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.200 play in this in the same you know, same goes 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.920 for Japan. You know, they've got a bunch of players 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:13.480 that could. 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.280 Canaiah didn't make it. Yeah, Canaia got bumped out. 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.800 So I just think that would be a neat little 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.680 added twist, Like it's super cool with Chili having Nieman 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:28.040 and Pereira in. They're like, that's that's really neat. That's 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.920 like a team I'm kind of like rooting for. I'm 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:31.880 really rooting for. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:38.000 A non golf country to really thrive in this Olympics. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.680 That's good good. I think it means a lot to 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.640 answer Artis Mexico. That certainly means a lot to Gabby Lopez, 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.680 who's there already practicing, you know, ten days out more 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.760 or less she was a flag bearer. But you know, 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.600 it's pretty cool to see different countries too. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:59.120 If there were more selections, potentially from South South Africa. 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.680 We would gotten to see if the frugal one would 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:02.920 have made the trip offer. 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.080 Frugal one ain't doing that. There's no way, there's no way, 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:12.560 I don't. I don't know. So anyway, so initial point 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.000 we know that that there should be some team element, 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.920 maybe a combination of individual team whatever. We know the 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:22.120 format's a whiff, but hey, it's just something different with 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:27.360 different stakes, with different prizes, with uniforms with I don't know. 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.080 This is an overnight watch. Maybe you have a young one, 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.840 Maybe you're out late drinking. 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.240 You're maybe you're on the West coast. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.080 You're yeah, maybe you're on the West coast. 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:42.280 You're doing your bullshit eastern Eastern time zone. You knows 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:46.320 that that every Eastern time zone or person does, or 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.280 they act like there's no other You're three hours ahead 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:50.960 of the people on the West coast. So that ends 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.760 at midnight on the West coast, this glorious golf watching time. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.480 You got the kids down, you pop the tubon and 0:08:58.559 --> 0:08:59.360 you watch golf. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.000 You know, it's cocktail golf there, and you're just acting 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:04.880 like it's you know, like you're just a. 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.840 Whack job if you're out up watching it. 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.000 Yeah, that's me, the sort of East coast elite from Cleveland, Ohio. 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:12.520 That's me, like. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.920 East coastallyite that hates Australia. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.440 I'm being pigeonholed again. What takes that I don't even 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:27.480 actually have? All right, So anyways, I'm moderately intrigued by it. 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.520 This gets back to our discussion last week about how 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.320 the schedule is just so, it just stacks on top 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.120 of each other, more sameness, same, like what sticks out? 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.960 What's the masters? The men's majors just kind of suck 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.360 up all the oxygen more or less from April first 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.480 to the next April or I'm sorry, till January till capoloo. 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.880 I would say, like nothing matter aside from like a 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.960 Ryder cup here or there, and you know, maybe a 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.560 FedEx CuPy. You want to get real, you know, defensive 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.760 about it, but like this is just something different. I 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.080 think it's different. It stands out. I don't. I'm not 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.960 trying to show for it. If you think it's dumb, 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.720 I'm okay here in that argument too. Clearly it doesn't 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.400 have the best feel. It's diminished by you know, from 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.080 the promise of what it could have been. You know, 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.040 Tiger and Phil talked about this becoming an Olympic sport 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:15.640 and how they were just going to try to do 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.160 it every time they could and like that, you know, 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.680 and a lot of guys passed, DJ passed, Brooks, you pass. 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.600 So it's not like perfect. But to me, I'm just 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.840 at least intrigued by it in a way that I'm 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.200 not in the week to week PGA tour at this 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.880 point of the year. So I don't know, you don't 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:32.960 have to agree that. 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:37.120 Well, it's I love the fact like in this might 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.280 sound like I'm not saying I don't want these guys 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.120 to make money, but like these guys playing golf for 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.640 not like ten million dollars seven million dollars like they 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.680 do every single week, and actually playing for their country. 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.240 Like it sounds corny, but it actually does. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.840 You know, it does add like a layer of like, hey, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.079 these guys really want to go play in the Olympics, 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.000 and that that makes me happy. 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:01.560 You know. 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:06.160 Yeah, it clearly means something to someone like Justin Thomas 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:16.120 doesn't j oh about the twenty fived dumbbells and all that. 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:16.720 That was good. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:21.880 That was good self deprecation there. I always appreciate self deprecation, 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.480 and that was that was wonderful and. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.560 It clearly means something more Colin Xander, who seemed to 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.880 have a real connection affinity to the to Tokyo to 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.920 the Japan area. Certainly in Xander's respect too. They talked 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.439 about how much they come back and how much they 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.040 like love and respect the culture and and you know, 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.640 wish I don't know that a little bit more of 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.120 that bled into the American culture. So all right, we 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:47.120 have something different. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:51.560 We have consumers like they were there. They're the things 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.439 they liked the most were politeness. 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.520 Clean efficiency, efficiency. 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:04.520 Obedience, like people listened, rules like it. 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.560 It's like, yeah, if I I don't know, Tokyo has 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.960 like a billion people, and I'm just thinking, like if 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.160 they tried to force some of this in Los Angeles 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:16.120 where we are, like just the chaos in son of California, 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.199 that you would get with some of the just trying 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:23.360 to be that efficient and streamlined. All right, So what 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.160 about Kasumika Seki. You see a lot of a lot 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.920 of comments on it. We got your boy Carrie Haig 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.480 setting it up with the guy from the European Tour 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.360 I'm missing I'm oh man, I'm blanking David what's his name, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.760 David Garland. They're setting up the course. They've had a 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.840 a super that's sort of been there eleven weeks. That 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:47.079 kind of I guess takes the rein and Dennis Ingram 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.920 do you know him, We're familiar with the work. 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:56.160 Okay, but I think if he doesn't go by Dennis 0:12:56.240 --> 0:13:01.520 the Menace, you know, he gets he's he's a tour agronomist. 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.400 He gets shipped around the country. Oh god, Dennis the 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:05.400 Menace is coming in. 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.160 I did notice there's a lot of the tour has 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.200 its fingerprints on a lot of this stuff. You know, 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:16.720 the transcripts tour is all caps. You know the FedEx 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.719 cut the playoffs is all caps. You can tell it's 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.640 not it's they took the week. 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:23.760 They took the week off. 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.080 That's the biggest, right, there's no other tour. They're still 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.520 competing tour event. The only time that we don't have 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:34.480 competing tour events is the Players and the Masters. 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.640 And well the US Open. Well, I guess they have 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:40.840 a KFT. There's no KFT this week. 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:43.760 I thought there is a KFT this week. 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.000 Aren't they in Omaha, No, no, I think they went 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.360 for price cutter. They're doing next week. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.200 Yeah, now you know what it is is they they've 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.800 got the Superseedson schedule. I was looking at the schedule. 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.080 You're looking at the other August. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:08.280 I saw the sprinkle Field Swing and I. 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.960 No, but yeah, I think, rarely do you have a 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.840 week where KFT and PGA Tour take off. I mean 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.800 the Open, there's the opposite. For God's sake, there's two 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:15.200 of them. 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.680 There's two of them. It's the Masters of the Players. 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:23.560 So yeah, nothing else on the State Side Tour, the 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:28.960 Poonavidra edition of the State Side Tour. So I don't know. 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.280 It sounds like it's gonna be wet. You know, these 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.360 guys are hoping for firm and fast. They talk about 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:38.200 how meticulous the conditioning is. The greens are greens sound 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.560 undulating a lot of contour. I was enthused to hear 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.520 Carrie Haig say, you know, we want to try to 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.720 keep it at like eleven eleven and a half, so 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.360 we could use some actual slope, use some slope. That's 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:54.120 an Andy Johnson, you know, mantra. But we'll see if 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.200 that happens or not. It may rain, so much they've 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.440 got a typhoon or a post typhoon. I'm not cure like, 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:05.160 I'm not on the whole weather the delineation between that, 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.680 but you know it's going to get wet. It sounds 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.440 like it's going to be rainy. I did find it 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:16.640 interesting that Leishman and Morikawa talked about how the bunkers 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.480 were actually in play, and it was refreshing. I think 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.440 the fas came in and, you know, more or less 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.680 modernize this, to use the euphemism, where like these guys say. 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:31.080 The bunkers they got modernized by Fasia in twenty fourteen, 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:36.920 so you know, it's it's been updated, and I think 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:41.000 it's you know, obviously it's Fazio doesn't really do restoration, 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.600 so it's it's definitely more of a Fassio of course 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:45.040 now of course. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.800 Okay, so they just seem to think the bunkers are 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.600 right where they hit it leash in Moricao. So it 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.240 seems like they've been pushing those back now maybe four 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.880 years from now, if they played there, they need to 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.840 be moved back to another thirty or forty yards for 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.240 this time being, though they're in the right spot, I guess, 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.360 so it just doesn't, you know. Unfortunately, it just looks 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.480 like it might be a little wet, but should be enjoyable, 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.200 should be in pristine condition. They're all raving a little 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.200 bit of zoiza grass. I know that I said the 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.000 ball is sinking to the bottom. They want there to 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.000 be some penalty and unpredictability from the rough. So that's 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.760 your course. That's just, of course, got in report anything else. 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.080 We don't have one and done picks. I know there's 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.560 that's not part of this pool, but go ahead. 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.640 Why don't you pick one? Why don't you pick one? Anyways, 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:29.480 I'm gonna pick one. 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:32.840 Okay, I'll take sun Jam. 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.880 The goal with the guy with the pressure, Yeah, I'll 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:38.960 take I'll take Demon. 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:44.240 Okay, that's a good pick. Great pick, playing well, playing. 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.760 Well, Yeah, I kind of wanted to take a Meto 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:48.920 Meto or the boy from Bratislava. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:55.720 They're both playing well. We will have BFP sweatshirts, Crew Necks, 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.920 A T shirts, Jason Page designs up. I think when 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.920 in the shotgun the Friday Pro Shop had some logistical issues. 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.439 I don't know if it's stuck in the Swez Canal, 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.960 but they'll be up Wednesday too. I don't know. They're 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.480 just brilliant, brilliant designs from Chasing Page. We don't take 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.359 any credit for him, although your idea for the XXL 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.080 Athletic Department so I shirt is a beauty one. I 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.439 cannot wait to wear that on college football Saturdays, my 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:32.720 little crew n soccer games. Bradislava Athletic Department. What's that? 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.040 That's a podcast that whatever? All right? So well, that'll 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.520 be up Wednesday. Anything else on the Olympics you want 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.520 to get into? You have three things to watch or no? 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.960 I got things okay? At the military service obviously that's 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.200 number one. That's the easy, easy one to pull out. 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:52.920 We get the boy from brought to Slava. I love 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:58.679 his pairing. He's got Mito Perreira and Renato Perritory. You know, 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:02.360 two young youngsters playing with the wily vet might teach 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:06.400 him a thing or two about national pride and citizenship. 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:15.560 That it is interesting. I you know, this might be 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.760 the most subdued scripting that Sabo has worn in like 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.240 ten years, fifteen years. They got him just like basic Navies. 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.000 They really let him down in the Slovak Golf Association, 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.359 really let him down on that because some of these unis. 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.919 Against the Do they have rules against bracelets in competition? 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:33.960 I don't know. I wonder about that. 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:34.560 How do you think that? 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.320 How do you think the Slovak citizens will you know, 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.320 react if he if he claims a medal and he's 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.240 on there with all of his bracelets. Do you think 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.880 that'll be a big hit and brought to Slava? 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.560 It could become a trend, a national trend, that's what 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.720 you're suggesting. There's there's like five million people that live there. 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.040 I was researching that that nation a little bit. It's 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.359 bigger than we give a credit for. So I'm looking 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:00.280 forward to. 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.080 Do you think somebody do you think somebody could do 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:06.880 a game within the game? Do you think somebody could 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.080 create this leaderboard for us? Do you think that there's 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:11.800 a listener out there that would do this? 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:12.920 What? 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:14.320 Because this is my third thing? 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:15.760 What is it? 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:22.080 Competition? I want leader board? So there's a bunch of countries. 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:23.880 I didn't do the math, but that there's a bunch 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:28.200 with two players or two players or more so let's uh, 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.560 let's break USA into USA one, USA two. I don't 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.040 know who you want to put on USA one, USA two. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.120 England would get broken up. But let's get some two 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:41.000 man two man competition. I this is what I'm kind 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:43.080 of watching. I want to know, Like, I think it 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.360 would be super cool. Like if Belgium with d Tree 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.160 and Peters they could totally win. 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.440 You know, and that would be neat. 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.479 But they aren't gonna you know, they are gonna get 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.200 a chance to win the team gold. So I want 0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:59.160 I want to shadow leader board just like the uh 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:04.640 just like the championship. Yeah, that that features the two 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:05.360 man teams. 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.000 I don't think there is any anybody with four England, 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.320 Great Britain just sent too because all those guys passed. 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:15.239 I think it's just Casey and Fleetwood. But yeah, I 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.800 love that. I love that idea. It's a great idea. 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:22.520 Shadow who should we read with read and. 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:28.320 Go by world rankings? Just reading JT. So the. 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:34.200 Reading JT, Xander and Morikawa. That seems like that. That's good. 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:35.400 That's good. I like that. 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:37.800 You don't want you want to put the two likable 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.080 ones together and then balance it out. You don't want 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.760 to balance you know where You're just kind of torn 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.720 on who to back the two two America teams. Anyways, 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:50.360 the Thomases are a great bat I know you're England 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:52.679 for that, you're a lion. I but they dominated that 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:58.080 World Cup in Australia ago. Yeah, so they legit could 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:02.080 win this thing. I don't know how well Peters has 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:05.000 been playing, but obviously Detrie has played well. 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:07.639 The thing is like, who knows what happens if a 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.359 tea competition all of a sudden, it could get somebody 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:13.040 out of rut that's like tired of playing for themselves. 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.960 Like it adds some juice, like you play whether or 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:17.600 not you anybody. 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:19.520 Cares to admit it. Like, if you're in a team competition, 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:19.920 you have a. 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:23.920
