1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: Hopefully you are enjoying this day wherever you may be

3
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: and living well in the real world. Today, we're gonna

4
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: take a day off from football, take a deep breath,

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: and do a little go Lo podcast. React to Scottie

6
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: Scheffler's dominant win. If that was a football game, it'd

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: be like winning fifty to ten. He wins by eight strokes.

8
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: At one point in time he was up double digits.

9
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: Just an absolute butt whooping. And we'll dive into some

10
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: other stuff. There were some comments made by a few

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: players in regards to the signature events. There's one this

12
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: week at the Philly Cricket Club. Some thoughts on LIV

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: their ratings feel like they're getting worse. But Bryson d.

14
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: Chambeau won in Korea. We had a pretty injury to

15
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, a pretty big name player. And we will

16
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: also answer some of your questions from at Golo Pod,

17
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: which is the Instagram account which I answer golf questions from.

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: Obviously we do a big one for football and life

19
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: and just everyday stuff on my on my Instagram account,

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: I made a separate one at Golo Pod, which I

21
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: do golf stuff, and it's the easiest way to get

22
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: involved on this show, which is you know, obviously golf

23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: centric operation when we do a little go lo. So

24
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: we got we got the PGA Championship right around the corner, which,

25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: as Jordan called it, Rory McElroy Country Club, which is

26
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: next week. So prepare to get ready because I'm really

27
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: excited Quail Hollow, Rory, Scotty Bryson. It feels like a

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: three horse race right now. So we will dive deep

29
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: into that next week. Because I love gambling on the majors.

30
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Nothing is better and nothing I look forward to non

31
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: football when it comes to gambling than the four Majors.

32
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: So before we dive in to Scottie Scheffler, I do

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: need to tell you about my friends, my partners in

34
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: the official ticketing app of this podcast. Last night, I

35
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: was at the DraftKings Bet gala put on by Dave Portnoy,

36
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: and I was hanging out with Mike Commodore. You know,

37
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: he actually was a guest on this podcast last summer,

38
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: the hockey player, incredible storyteller, and we were watching some

39
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: playoff hockey and he was just telling me about the

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: best arenas to see a game there is nothing like

41
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: playoff hockey. I mean the intensity of it. I kept

42
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: telling them I'm not even a hockey guy, and I

43
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: am glued to the playoffs obviously, the NBA playoffs. I mean,

44
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: if you live in New York area and you want

45
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: to see her knicks, at minimum, there're gonna be one

46
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: coming home. So any game you want to go, do

47
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: playoff game. We got baseball in full swing right now.

61
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: I was looking at the field, it was not good

62
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: relative to signature events and majors. When Jordan Speith at

63
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: essentially twenty to one is the second betting favorite to

64
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: win a golf tournament in twenty twenty five, that that

65
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: tells you everything you need to know. And my logic

66
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: was pretty simple. One if you're an elite competitor, if

67
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: you're an elite player and things don't go your way,

68
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: whether you're playing poorly or whether you're like Scotty, you're

69
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: trying to make some raviolis and you cut your hand

70
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: and it kind of derails the early part of your season.

71
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: Now relative to basically every other player in the world

72
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: besides like Rory McElroy, he has had a very successful

73
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: start to the season. He just had won and he's

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: coming off a year where it felt like he won

75
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: twenty five times. So it's like I looked at it

76
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: and went, well, he's playing a home game. He grew

77
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: up going to this tournament. Now it's changed courses, but

78
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: it means a lot to him, it means a lot

79
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: to his family and as a competitor when it does

80
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: feel because while he's the number one player in the

81
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: world and I think as of this week, it's now

82
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: gone on to the third longest streak in the history

83
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: of number one's. Obviously Tiger holds it basically for like

84
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: a decade. Greg Norman a second, and now Scotty is

85
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: third for the longest running time as the number one

86
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: player in the world. But in twenty twenty five, Rory

87
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: has played better than Scotty and going into the second

88
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: major of the year, where Rory is now on DraftKings

89
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: has the same odds as Scotty Scheffler. I mean, think

90
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: about the Masters, Scotty was three to one and Rory

91
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: was like six or seven to one, and now I

92
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: look yesterday they're both five to one, and that feels right. Now.

93
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: This is a course like Augusta with Scotty that is

94
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: very advantageous for Rory McElroy's game. He has had a

95
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: lot of success there. But like based on the way

96
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: they've played this year beside last week, Like if you

97
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: want to make Rory mclroy the favorite, I don't blame you,

98
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: but I went you know what I do. Believe what

99
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, Scotty will be considered one

100
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: of the greatest American players to ever play golf. I

101
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: think he will have I don't know if he will

102
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: win the career Grand Slam, but he is going to

103
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: win more majors than just win the Masters, and he's

104
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: probably not one a done winning the Masters. If I

105
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: had to guess right now over under Scotty majors, I'd

106
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: say around six, Like he is clearly one of the

107
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: greatest talents we've ever seen. And last week was like,

108
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: I think Scotty gets it done. Now. Did I believe

109
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: that he would annihilate the field? At one point in

110
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: time it was I remember texting someone he was on

111
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: like hole twelve. It was Thursday. He had played fourteen

112
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: holes in a golf tournament. You have to play seventy two.

113
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 1: He was like minus two fifty to win the golf tournament.

114
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: By the end of Friday, he was minus twelve hundred

115
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: to win the golf tournament. That's unheard of. It's absurd.

116
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: He annihilated everyone. And sometimes I think, and this is

117
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: I've taken the tactic and the the I guess the

118
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: outlook when gambling, like don't don't not think the room here,

119
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: don't try to hit some eighty to one guy bet

120
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Rory Bete Bryce and bet Scottie and that is what

121
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: I plan on doing at the PGA Championship. And listen, no,

122
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: I would say group that covers of sport can try

123
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: to be more hipster, like watch out for the Thunder.

124
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: They're gonna roll to the championship. Like are we sure

125
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: their second best player weighs like one hundred and ten pounds?

126
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: They're playing Nikole Jokicic. I don't know one of the

127
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: greatest basketball players in the history of the sport. Honestly,

128
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: I've been a die hard sports fan for thirty plus years.

129
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: He's easily one of the greatest players I've ever seen.

130
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: Should it be that shocking that in Game one he

131
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: had forty two points, twenty rebounds, and six assists and

132
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: they won. They have the best player on their team,

133
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: not on the Thunder. It's like, well, Shay's gonna win

134
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: the MVP. Michael Jordan didn't always win the MVP. Lebron

135
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: had a stretch in his prime where he didn't always

136
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: win the MVP. It was obvious to anyone with a

137
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: working brain who the best player was. And listen, betting

138
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: on golf tournaments is a lot different than betting on

139
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: a basketball game. Or a football game when there are

140
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: only two teams right, one has to win, one to lose.

141
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: You were betting against an entire field and all it

142
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: takes is some random dude in that field to have

143
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: a career day. Some guys did and they didn't even

144
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: get close. Scotti Scheffler essentially averaged eight under par for

145
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: four straight rounds. That is absurd. Jordan Speith, who I

146
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: had a little parlay. I took Scotty to win, and

147
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: I took Jordan to top ten. It was not looking good,

148
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: it was not gonna hit. And then the guy went

149
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: nuclear on Sunday and shot nine under par. Scottie Scheffler

150
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: averaged eight under part so it's like he went nuts

151
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: and he shot nine under par for one day, lowest

152
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: round of the day and got in the top five,

153
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: which was a really impressive day for Jordan. What Scotty

154
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: just did last weekend is what Nikola Jokic does, is

155
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: what Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson do. They are

156
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: better than everybody else, and it's what is I think

157
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: a big reason right now the PGA ratings are are

158
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: like a rocket ship. This last week with Scotty was

159
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: up sixty six percent based on last year. The previous

160
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: week with Justin Thomas winning at the RBC was up

161
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: I think like twenty five to thirty percent. Obviously, the

162
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: Masters was one of the most watched Masters in like

163
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: a long time since Tiger Woods. This isn't a complicated

164
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: formula get the best star players to win and in

165
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: a hard part in golf, like you're not guaranteed that.

166
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: And the cool part about golf is like you don't

167
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: necessarily need it to be Scotty versus Rory. It can

168
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: be Rory versus me and you. It can be Justin

169
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: Thomas versus Andrew Novak no shade. It can be Scotty

170
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: Scheffler versus Taylor Pendriz. It can be some of these

171
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: random matchups. As long as you have the star the tour.

172
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't always Tiger Woods against Ernie Els or Tiger

173
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: Woods against Podrick Harrington. Sometimes it would be Tiger Woods

174
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: against some guy that you would never really hear about again.

175
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: And you know what, as long as it was Tiger

176
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: Woods versus fill in the blank, it works. This is

177
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: a star driven sport and right now I think we

178
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: have three needle movers. Scotty clearly Rory, Scottie and Bryson

179
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: and these guys are playing it. Bryson just won last weekend.

180
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: I think Rory is a lot of momentum coming into

181
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: the Philly Cricket Club. I don't know how much he's,

182
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, gonna care this week in terms of just

183
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: getting his game dialed in for the following week. Much

184
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: shorter course than Quail Hollow. But regardless, this sport is

185
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: dependent on its stars, always has been, always will be.

186
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: It's an individual sport from Arnold Palmer to Jack to

187
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: Greg Norman, to guys like John Daly and Phil Mickelson

188
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: through Tiger Woods to this crew now. And I think

189
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: the tour is pretty lucky that their most famous and

190
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: best players are dominating. And I was talking to someone

191
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: about this the other day, my buddy Scottie Raver, really

192
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: good golfer. I was like, listen, this lift thing is failing.

193
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: It is dying on the vine. No one is watching.

194
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: People have reported that the uh that you know, the

195
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: fun mechanism as essentially said like, you guys gotta start

196
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: making money. We're gonna stop cutting checks. And some of

197
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: these contracts are coming up and it's like, are they

198
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: gonna renew some of these guys for like one hundred

199
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: million dollars, one hundred and fifty million dollars, fifty million dollars.

200
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: No chance that this thing is going to die, right

201
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: if they are truly like watching the expenses and the

202
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: profits and trying to go is this gonna work? It's not. Listen,

203
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: I love golf as much as most diehard golf people.

204
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: It is an unwatchable product. But Bryson is really important

205
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: and for the PGA Tour, if they can get him back,

206
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: I think that would be a game changer because right

207
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: now you've got Scottie Scheffler in the prime of his career,

208
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: you got Rory McElroy in the middle of his second prime,

209
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: and clearly Bryson is just an elite player that you

210
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: know it is just a needle moving, interesting guy to

211
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: watch play. But I think last week just wasn't that complicated,

212
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: just like sometimes basketball isn't that complicated. Who is the

213
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: best player? Like that's like they go ten deep, they

214
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: got these great out of bounds plays. It's like, yeah,

215
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: I got nicolea Jokic, I got Steph Curry, I got

216
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards, and you don't you know Scotti Scheffler's in

217
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: this field and Rory McElroy, Xander Schaffle, Colin Moricowa, Bryson D.

218
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: Chambeau or not. So yeah, his odds are a little

219
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: lowering three to one that they should be like minus

220
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: one ten and they were really quick after about nine holes.

221
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: So congrats to Scottie Scheffler. Very cool moment watching him

222
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: get choked up. His family's all there, obviously, his kids there,

223
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: his sister. He made his debut eleven years ago as

224
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: a high school kid in the tournament and he finished t.

225
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: Twenty five. So he's just an awesome player. Jordan Speith,

226
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: it's always fun. Like as someone I think I said

227
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: last week that you know, I don't know if he's

228
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: a Ryder Cup guy. He definitely still has the opportunity

229
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: to earn that in more weeks. I'm not putting that

230
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: much stock again into a field that's really shitty to

231
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: finish fourth, But you know, he is just a very

232
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: very entertaining player to watch and he's probably the easiest

233
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: guy on PGA Tour to root for. But he had

234
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: a comment that it kind of made me laugh. He's like,

235
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't that long ago that I was definitely better

236
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: than him, speaking of Scotty, because they played together in

237
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: the first two rounds and Scotty obliterated him, and now

238
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not. And it got me thinking, like, now,

239
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: Jordan has actually been a little while since you were

240
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: definitely better than him. It's been like four plus years.

241
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: That's it's we're going on. We're headed toward like sixty months.

242
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: This wasn't like, you know, two years I was better

243
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: than the guy, like you know, seven months ago, I

244
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: was better than the guy. This guy has been dramatically

245
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: better than you for a while now. And I don't

246
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: blame Jordan for, you know, trying to justify like you know,

247
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: once upon a time, yea, once upon a time, like

248
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: like last dec But it's always fun to see Jordan

249
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: get rolling. And I think clearly Keegan Bradley, who actually

250
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: is hosting a Ryder Cup dinner in Philadelphia, which I

251
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: would imagine Jordan is invited to, would love to see

252
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: him play well because we know the pairing of him

253
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: and Justin, and now Justin is essentially a lock for

254
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: the team. I think he would love to bring him

255
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: on the team, but he's gonna have to earn it,

256
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: and more showings like that, Like I like Jordan's speed

257
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: this week, so more showings like that it would be

258
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: really important. Another thing in regards to this dinner, he

259
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: has invited Bryce and d Chambeau and Brooks Koepka to

260
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: the dinner in Philadelphia. So one thing's clear. A couple

261
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: of years ago, none of the live guys played in

262
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup. Remember John Rahm right after the Ryder Cup.

263
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't right after, but within a month or two

264
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: had signed with LIFF. But he had waited till he

265
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: played in that Ryder Cup to make that decision because

266
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: clearly it means a lot to him. That's out the

267
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: window all these John Rahm is playing in the Ryder Cup,

268
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: Bryson d Chambeau is playing in the Ryder Cup. Kepka

269
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: I would say, is up in the air. But he

270
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: has a couple good majors. Based on the way our

271
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: team looks, he's probably going to be in the Ryder Cup,

272
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: and Sergio Garcia if he continues to have it or

273
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: like has a good major season, would definitely be a

274
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: Ryder Cup option. Now the European team is pretty deep,

275
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: but that's the right move. Like no one cares what

276
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: tour you're on. Bryson d Chambeau should be on all

277
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: the American teams. And if Koepka or Dustin Johnson or whoever,

278
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: whichever one of these guys is playing well, they should

279
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: be on the team as well. And I would say

280
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: next year when the President's Cup happens, I don't give

281
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: a shit what the rules are. Cam Smith, if he's

282
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: playing well enough, should be on the President's Cup. This

283
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: Mark Leishman, if he's playing well enough, should be on

284
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: the President's Cup. Obviously Bryson should be on the American team.

285
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I do think the the Ryder Cup

286
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: situation is going to be more enjoyable because the live

287
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: guys are going to be invited to the party where

288
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: they were not a couple of years ago. I also

289
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: got me thinking because Eric van Royan, who finished second

290
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: in and had i mean, probably one of the better

291
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: weeks of his career, he just happened to be playing

292
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: with Scotti Scheffler, who was unconscious. I mean it was

293
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: honestly watching Scotty Scheffler last week look like anyone who's

294
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: ever played with a really, really good golfer like a

295
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: scratch or a veteran scratch or a college golfer who

296
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: plays a course a lot, so it's very used to it.

297
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: And if you just play with them, it's like are

298
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: they even trying? And it's just like par Parr Bertie,

299
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: Bertie Eagle Parr Bertie like it just they never even

300
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: come close to screwing up. It didn't even look like

301
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffler broke a sweat. Eric van Royan, who played unreal,

302
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: never had a chance but basically earned his way into

303
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: the signature event this week, and it was asked about

304
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: whether he liked the way this setup was and he's like, honestly,

305
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't. Not that I'm not proud of playing well

306
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: and getting involved, but the best tournaments do not have

307
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: small fields. The best tournaments have one hundred and fifty

308
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: plus guys. And I understand Golf's in this weird spot

309
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: where they want a funnel. They basically want legal money laundry, right,

310
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: they want to launder money legally to their it's probably

311
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: an oxymoron, but to their best players. And if you

312
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: have one hundred and fifty man tournament and half the

313
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: field gets caught, and six of your top twenty players

314
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: don't play well, they don't make any money. And Van

315
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: roy And essentially said, like the best part about golf

316
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: is it's the ultimate meritocracy. And if you don't play well,

317
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: you don't make any money, and if you play great,

318
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: you earn whatever spot that you get on the leaderboard.

319
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: And I'm in complete agreement. The smaller field no cut

320
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: events stink. They are just not that interesting. One problem

321
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: with LIV well, they got lot of problems. I mean

322
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: their biggest problem is like none of it matters. Part

323
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: of winning a tournament is like, well, these are the

324
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: last fifty guys that won this tournament. This tournament has

325
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: been around for seventy five years. There's a lot of history,

326
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: right Anyone who's ever been to a club or a

327
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: country club. I remember I went to I played, was

328
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: a Phoenix country Club. It actually used to hold the

329
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: Phoenix Open before I forget what year they came to

330
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: the TPC might have been like late eighties, so basically

331
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: from the forties, the fifties, the sixties. You walk in

332
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: to the locker room, there's pictures of Arnold Palmer, of

333
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholas, of Lee Trevino, of Johnny Miller and all

334
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: these guys that had played in this tournament. There was

335
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 1: a legitimate history, but behind the tournament, behind the course.

336
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: And now I played at TPC for thirty plus years.

337
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: Whether it's Brooks Koepka, whether it's Ricky Fowler, whether it's

338
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods hole in one, whether it's you know, just

339
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: all Scottie Scheffler winning his first big tournament. There, there's

340
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: a lot of history there and that really matters. And

341
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: Live doesn't have that, but they don't have a cut,

342
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: so like, if you're in the tournament, you're guaranteed to finish.

343
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: And part of golf, it's what makes majors, especially you know,

344
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: the US Open, the Bridge, Like it's hard to make

345
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: the cut and if you have like a shitty three

346
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: hole stretch on Thursday or Friday, you're gone and then

347
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: you make no money. Like you make no money right

348
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: in basketball in the NBA, I was. I was at

349
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: this barstool party last night at the DraftKings sports book

350
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: down the street from my house, and I was talking

351
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: to Mike Commodore. I mentioned this earlier, but he played

352
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: in the NHL for a long time. He's he's the best.

353
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: He invited me to play golf with him here soon.

354
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: He's a golf junkie and we were just talking how

355
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: much hockey players make, and he's like, I was like,

356
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: I saw some salaries. It doesn't feel like your highest

357
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: paid players make that much relative to basketball or baseball.

358
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: He's like, I think the highest paid player in the

359
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: league makes eighteen million dollars. And the Knicks Celtics series

360
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: was on right next to it. I'm like, you know

361
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 1: what's crazy is there's a chance that every dude on

362
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: the floor right now makes more than eighteen million dollars.

363
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: And there's a chance, I mean, there's not a chance

364
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: five six guys on that court make thirty five to

365
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: forty plus. And during the season, whether you're playing or

366
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: whether you're not playing, whether you shatter your leg, whether

367
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: you're doing load management, whether you're averaging forty or whether

368
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: you're averaging five points. Hell, I saw Bradley Beal play

369
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: basketball this year. I have never seen a guy in

370
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: a professional event, in a live event, try less hard.

371
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: He's making fifty million dollars. So whether he tries really hard,

372
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: scores a lot of points, whether he doesn't try at all,

373
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: he's getting paid. In golf, if you even if you

374
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: try your hardest, and you do not play well, you

375
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: do not make any money. Now, technically you still make

376
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: money from your sponsors. But like Billy Horschel, he is injured.

377
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: And unlike a baseball player, a basketball player, if I

378
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: get injured, even in football, if you're making twenty million

379
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: dollars and I go on IR for eight games, I

380
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: still get a percentage of my salary. Now that might

381
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: be fifty percent, but I still get paid for being injured.

382
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: As a golfer, Billy Hoe Philly Cricket Club, this tournament

383
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: doesn't pay him any money. The PGA Championship next week

384
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: doesn't pay him any money. He doesn't make any money

385
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: from playing golf. Now he's signed me. I'm sure he

386
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: has lucrative sponsors, so he still has money coming in.

387
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: But that would be the case for any professional athlete

388
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: for their like. If whether Patrick Mahomes plays well or not,

389
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: Let's say he has the worst year of his career,

390
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: that all State money, that Oakley money, all that money

391
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: still rolls in on top of the Kansas City chief salary.

392
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: And I think the thing in golf, like you see

393
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: Billy Horschell, he gets hip surgery, knock on Wood, But like,

394
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: what if that derails his career? What if he's never

395
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: the same after this hip injury. Now, you would think

396
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: with modern medicine and the ability to rehab and improve,

397
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: and Billy Hoe is clearly a pretty big workout guy,

398
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: should be fine. But you never know. It's not like

399
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: Billy Horschell's twenty two years old, and it's just a

400
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: risk in this sport, like there are a lot of

401
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: variables that can go really bad, really fast. I mean

402
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: we're seeing with Max Holmei's just his game all of

403
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: a sudden, just what the hell happened? And in fairness

404
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 1: to him, it's like golf, I don't know. It's just

405
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: you make a little tweak here, tweaked there, and things

406
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: just get off the rails. I think it's one of

407
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: the most relatable things about the sport. Any human that plays,

408
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: whether you're a plus five or whether you're a twenty handicap,

409
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: you can on one individual's shot, you can hit the

410
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: best shot of the day. You can hit the best

411
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: shot of the day that looks exactly like Tiger Woods

412
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: shot from one hundred and fifty yards. You can knock

413
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: at five feet. You also can hit a ball three

414
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: holes over out of bounds at any given moment, and

415
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: so can these guys. And I just think the cool

416
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: part about pro golf, especially I mean specifically the PGA Tour,

417
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: but I would say the European Tour as well at

418
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: the corn Ferry Tour is you have to play well

419
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: on Thursday and Friday to continue playing to make money

420
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: on Saturday and Sunday, and then like the competition of

421
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, typically you are going to have high level,

422
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: famous guys playing well, maybe not all of them, but

423
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: the PGA Championship in a week I would be stunned,

424
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean floored if two of the three guys, Rory,

425
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: Bryson and Scottie aren't heavily in the mix. And when

426
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: I say heavily in the mix, I expect one of

427
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: those three guys to win, and I'd be stunned if

428
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: the other guy isn't top three or four in the tournament.

429
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: It wouldn't shock me if all three of them are

430
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: in the top ten, but there's no guarantee. One of

431
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: them could just have the worst week of his life

432
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: and shoot seventy six on a Thursday and miss the cut.

433
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: It's possible and while they're all rich, and whether they

434
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: get a check or don't, it's not going to change

435
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: their life at all. They don't get paid that week.

436
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: Neither does it Caddy. That's why this Philly Cricket Club

437
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: this week. I mean it's interesting, but to me, I'm

438
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: interested to see the golf course. I don't necessarily care

439
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: about the results, you know. I mean, this is the

440
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: problem with these signature events. It's like I don't even

441
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: feel like they matter. I mean, they matter for the

442
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: distribution for these guys to get paid, but just in

443
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: terms of smaller field, it has been like this for

444
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of years since they created these. They

445
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: just don't do that much. For me, I was more

446
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: interested to watch can Scottie Scheffler beat one hundred and

447
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: fifty guys than like, is Roy McElroy gonna make two

448
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars finishing second at the signature event.

449
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: I just it does not matter to me. So I listen,

450
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna gamble on this because that's what we do.

451
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: The PGA Tour hast never played here. I think the

452
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: stat is that this is the oldest country club in America.

453
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: I think it was like eighteen forty eight or something,

454
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: so this course has been around for a long long time.

455
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: I did some flyovers on YouTube. I read a couple

456
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: articles about they have done some redesigns and the course

457
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: in which they play isn't the sequence. If me or

458
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: you got the obviously you'd have to know a member,

459
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: but we played this course. They kind of change the

460
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: sequencing of the course. It's not that long relative to

461
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: tour standards, it's seventy one hundred yards. I read a

462
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: couple articles that did some models on what is going

463
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: to work at this course. Obviously Rory's near the top,

464
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: but you know Shane Lowry, Keegan Bradley, Jordan Speith. I

465
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: do like Brian Harmon. I do think a guy like

466
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: him he has to capitalize. He did two weeks ago

467
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: at RBC on courses that aren't that long. He's at

468
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: a disadvantage playing Quail Hollow. He's not gonna be able

469
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: to compete there. Like Kevin Kisner was asked a couple

470
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: of years ago, why do you play in some of

471
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: these courses where you clearly have no chance? He's like, well,

472
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: finishing eighteenth pays a lot, And I think the key

473
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: is when you're a guy like that, you get four

474
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: or five chants is to take advantage of your skill

475
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: set in this modern day world, and this is one

476
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: of them, you know. And I think Shane Lowry, Keegan Bradley,

477
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Speith. I'm gonna do probably Brian Harmon instead of Keegan,

478
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do Jordan' speed the top ten, Lowry

479
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: and Brian Harmon the top twenty. I think it pays

480
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: like fourteen to one, but it's listen. I think a

481
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: lot of people like Patrick Cantley this week. I can't

482
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: bet on Patrick Cantley like I if you telled me

483
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: like he's got a fifty to fifty chance, I'm more

484
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: likely to not gamble on a golf tournament than put

485
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: any money on Patrick Cantley. I've gambled a lot on

486
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: golf over the last three or four years. I don't

487
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: think I've ever put one penny on that individual. And

488
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: I will have no problem never betting him. You can

489
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: tell me he wins ten times over the next five years,

490
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: he ain't getting any of my money. I couldn't even

491
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: imagine watching him play professional golf on a Saturday and

492
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: Sunday beside a Ryder Cup and rooting for him to win.

493
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: So I also have seen so many times when people

494
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: have picked him and he just like finishes seventeenth. So

495
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm not touching him hard to make like, does Rory

496
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: bring it this week? He's been you know, he was

497
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: gone in Europe and he did the media tour. I

498
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: would imagine he kind of uses this as a tune up.

499
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: But if he were to win this week, which would

500
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: be crazy, it'd be his third win of the year.

501
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: I do think that his odds would go from five

502
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: to one, probably like three to one next week. So

503
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: if you do like Rory the risk of him potentially

504
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: playing really well this week, you probably want to bet

505
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: him now for the PGA Championship. The NBA eighty two

506
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,960

Speaker 1: golopod is the Instagram, Fire in those dms and get

Speaker 1: your question answered here on the show again at go lopod.

550
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: This is from Davis. I'm twenty six and I like

551
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: to think I'm pretty good. I'm about a six handicap. However,

552
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: I think the golfers in the five to eight handicap

553
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: range are in golf purgatory, good enough to shoot close

554
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: to par, but bad enough to shoot eighty eight and

555
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: hate yourself. I feel like it's gonna be hard to

556
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: break out of this range while working a job that

557
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: demands a lot and only being able to play hit

558
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: the range once or twice a week. Any tips how

559
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: to work to scratch going forward, Well, you're asking advice

560
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: from someone that falls. I mean, I'm a four handicap

561
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: right now. In that category, I could go out tomorrow

562
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: and shoot seventy four. I could also go out tomorrow

563
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: and easily shoot ninety. And you know what I've learned, Like,

564
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm never going to be a scratch golfer. I don't

565
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: practice enough, I don't play enough, and I just don't

566
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: have the mental stamina to focus enough even when I'm

567
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: playing a lot on the golf course. And I'm cool

568
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: with that. I'm going to enjoy myself and if I

569
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: was to be a scratch, when I gamble with my

570
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: friends or with other people, or this week, my guy

571
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: Mark invited me to play the member guest at Arizona

572
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: Country Club. I'm fired up. I am such a better

573
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: asset and last I've only played in one other member guest.

574
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: I was the biggest disaster in the history of disas.

575
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: I was so bad. I was topping ball. I was

576
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: an embarrassment. I really was. And my handicap at the

577
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: time was like a three. It probably looked like I

578
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: was a twenty. I don't know if I was nervous.

579
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what was going on, but it was.

580
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: It was really really ugly. So I need to bounce back.

581
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: But there's not as much pressure. I mean, he's like

582
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: a scratch, but he's really good and he can play

583
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: to that number and he can break par If I

584
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: was a scratch, like I would still have ninety maybe

585
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: not ninety, but like eighty two in my back pocket.

586
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: So when you're a six handicap and you can shoot

587
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: seventy eight and maybe get a few birdies, like, you

588
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: can make some money if you're not going to the

589
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: PGA tour. Here's the other thing. If you're working in

590
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: a successful guy and you're like a five or six

591
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: handicap that travels, like you could go play with like

592
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas and have a good time. I'm not even

593
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: saying gambling with him, like you wouldn't embarrass yourself. I

594
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: think the key to golf, if you like actually just

595
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: want to do it socially for business have a good time,

596
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: is do it minimum. Just get to that number and

597
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: then if you can stay, you're fine. You can play

598
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: with anybody. Like I'm good enough where I can play

599
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: with scratch golfers and it'd be fun. Last week I

600
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: played with a bunch of dudes that were probably like

601
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty twenty five handicaps, had a good time. But

602
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: I think if if you do work really hard at

603
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: it and get good, you do have to maintain that

604
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: once you're handicaps at a certain number, if you're gonna

605
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: play money games to anybody, because all of a sudden

606
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: you're a scratch, Like hard to make money if you're

607
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: not playing all the time. So I'm going glass half

608
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: full here. I think if you're like a five or

609
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: six handicap, that's prime. That's primary real estate. Curious what

610
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: your go to wedges around the green. I remember being

611
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: a kid when I started playing golf, my dad used

612
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: to scream at me because right, you know this, my

613
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: dad honestly wasn't a very good golfer at all, but

614
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: he liked you know, Jack Nicholas and Nick Faldo and

615
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Greg Norman and old school golfers. Bump and run was huge,

616
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: right what you watch now. I mean, Phil really revolutionized

617
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: the game. But all these guys that use sixty degrees

618
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: around the you know, the green tiger, the old old

619
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: school guys would bump and run everything. And I always

620
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: wanted to have a sixty degree wedge around the green.

621
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: And like most people, I'm not a great wedge player.

622
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: So if you don't practice wedges a lot, and you

623
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: have a sixty degree a fifty six degree, your margin

624
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: ferererror can be really slim on a lot of shots

625
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: where I do try to bump and run anything I can,

626
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 1: so I have no problem pulling out either a fifty

627
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: degree wedge, which is my gap wedge, or a pitching wedge.

628
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: If you know, the gap wedge is easier to use

629
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: if I'm in the rough around the green. If I

630
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: have like an opening where there's no rough and I'm

631
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: basically on the fairway but I can see the pin,

632
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: I will hit a pitching wedge, even a nine iron

633
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: right and just keep the ball on the ground essentially

634
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: like you know, and use you know, a putter stroke

635
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: and kind of use my front hand my left hand

636
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: on the grip and I grip it really hard so

637
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't break my wrists at all. But that's something

638
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: that I've done a lot lately, is try to keep

639
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: it on the ground more because you're just not good

640
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: enough if you're not playing a lot to use a

641
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: lob wedge, which good players can no problem all around

642
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: the green. Let me throw another fun idea your way.

643
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: Really appreciate how you take DMS. The Majors as love interest.

644
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: The Masters your honeymoon always looked at fondly, more dialed

645
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: up than any other time. If it happened all the time,

646
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the same, but still beyond incredible. The

647
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: PGA your high school girlfriend. You say you love her,

648
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: but more than likely you don't. Once you go to

649
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: a steakhouse, you realize the movies isn't that good of

650
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,959
Speaker 1: a date night. The US Open your ex wife some

651
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,479
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible moments, but drives you crazy and plays jump

652
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: rope with being too hard and awesome. The Open your

653
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: wife top tier as the game should be played. You

654
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: have to wake up early and durre some crappy weather sometimes,

655
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: but ultimately it's the purest form of the game. I'm

656
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: riding Robbie Mack this week, Lefty with great iron play,

657
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: strokes gain. Putting at Augusta is overrated as long as

658
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: is above average. This was before the Masters. I do

659
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 1: like that there is there's definitely something nostalgic about the Masters,

660
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: and I think there's something pure about the Open. I'm

661
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: with you on the PGA. It's by far the shittiest major.

662
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: I'd even not even go high school girlfriend. I would

663
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: just go, you know, your first true I think the

664
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: kids call it like situationship. You know someone you're dating,

665
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: but you don't call your girlfriend, and ultimately it's gonna

666
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: end really bad, but it's really fun. Like That's kind

667
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: of what the PGA is now. It's essentially a tournament

668
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: that it's much closer to a normal event than it is,

669
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: in my opinion, to a major. Let's talk Ryder Cup.

670
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: You're the captain. Who are your twelve picks from the US.

671
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: Let's say all twelve can be captain to pick. Okay,

672
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: I will go Scotty Scheffler. I will go Bryson d Chambeau.

673
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: I will go Xander Shaffle, I will go Colin more Coawa,

674
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: I will go Justin Thomas, and I will go one, two, three, four, five,

675
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: and I will go Patrick Cantley. So that's six. Then

676
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:44,479
Speaker 1: I think it gets really really challenging. You know, let's

677
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: go USA Golf rankings. It's hard to do this off

678
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: the cuff without So I got Scottie, I got Xander,

679
00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: I got more Cowa, I got Justin Thomas. Appreciate Russell Henley.

680
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: You know, is he a lock? I know he won

681
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: earlier this week or this year. Probably decent chance. Bryson's

682
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: on it. Wyndam Clark would not be a lock for me.

683
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: Kegan Bradley said that he will not pick himself, and

684
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: I do think it's kind of impossible at the Ryder Cup.

685
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, Tiger was a President's playing captain. That would

686
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: have been like twenty eighteen and that was badass. Maybe

687
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: it was it nineteen, whenever it was, it was sweet.

688
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't really think it's possible at the Ryder Cup.

689
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: I just don't think our teams that good. Billy Horschell

690
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: not available, Brian Harmon, he's not getting picked. Auc Shay,

691
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: probably not, Daniel Berger. I think we're gonna lose Sam Burns.

692
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: The Gala has not been good. Nick Taylor's Canadian finales

693
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: played like crap. Lucas Glover probably not HOGI I think

694
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: we're in trouble. I mean, you get through like six

695
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: seven names, no wonder. I don't even think. When's the

696
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: last time Brooks Koepka played well? No wonder, Kegan Bradley's

697
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: bringing him to this dinner. We don't have that many options.

698
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: Maybe Kopka just has to be on the team. I

699
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be hard to get twelve guys, I

700
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: really do. Now, we got another three or four months

701
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: of majors and guys to let the cream rise. But

702
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: we got a long way to go. Let's say Tiger

703
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: was born in seven instead of nineteen seventy five, and

704
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: he's turning eighteen this year. Crazy How two thousand and

705
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: seven was eighteen years ago already? Jesus, that's insane. How

706
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: many majors do you think he wins in his career

707
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: against the current generation of players. Do you think the

708
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: prevalence of social media, smartphones and cameras would enable his

709
00:39:51,760 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: vices and have accelerated his downfall. I mean, Tiger, it

710
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: would be more difficult if his vices. There are a

711
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: lot of famous people that run around a lot in

712
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and we don't have pictures of their situations.

713
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: There are a lot of professional athletes that have families,

714
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: and I've heard some stories from people in some leagues

715
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: that have like full on side girlfriends that they pay

716
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: for their life and sometimes even the wife knows. But

717
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: the picture has never gone viral of this individual. And

718
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: let's be honest, if this picture went viral, at least

719
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: the name that I've been told, it would be a

720
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 1: massive story, even if like the family's cool with it.

721
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: And I would imagine a lot of these people they're

722
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 1: in relationships that are that do not parallel our lives.

723
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: Things they're allowed to do and things that they just

724
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: do are not things that normal people do. It's why

725
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: I always say, like when these people try to give

726
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: me advice for politicians or just like get on their

727
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: high horse, like, bro, I don't give a fuck what

728
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: you think. You live in a completely different world than me,

729
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: and as we've seen, less and less people view what

730
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: famous people say as very important just because you're an

731
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: actor or an athlete, no one not that what they're saying,

732
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: depending on who you are, doesn't hit home or have

733
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: some validity, but especially politicians like we saw a lot

734
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: of famous people speak out the last presidential election head

735
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: zero to little to no impact. That you could argue

736
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 1: that a negative impact. But my point is is that

737
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: I still think you could sleep around if you're Tiger

738
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: Woods in twenty twenty five and not get caught. It

739
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: would be different. I do think he would probably get

740
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: exposed sliding in some DMS. I think he would be

741
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: a heavy DM or. But I think the one thing

742
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: to one Tiger's work ethic is you could argue is

743
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: one of the greatest in the history of athletics. To

744
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: his design to win was second to none in three technology.

745
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: He played in an era where the technology like his

746
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: prime technology really changed when late two thousands. By the

747
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: twenty tens, the technology that was coming out, specifically with

748
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: the Woods was dramatically different than anyone that started playing

749
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: golf like Tiger Woods in the eighties and the nineties.

750
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 1: Tiger was never that accurate off the tee. It's why

751
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: that he always instituted things like the stinger with a

752
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: two iron because he knew that he could hit the fairway,

753
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: and back then you weren't hitting it as far as

754
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: a hole on the PG Tour. The courses weren't as long,

755
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: and you'd get away with doing that. Now I think

756
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: I saw a stat Scotty Scheffler HiT's like sixty five

757
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the fairways, and he's hitting at three

758
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two hundred and thirty yards when Rory's on, like,

759
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: he doesn't miss that many fairways. Phil and Tiger were

760
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: all over the map. But with technology in twenty twenty five.

761
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: You watched Tiger theseast couple of years, even post hurting

762
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: his ankle, He's hitting that baby cut right down the pipe.

763
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: So I think technology off the tee would be a get.

764
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: He would be at twenty twenty five, thirty years old,

765
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: right there with Rory. I mean this version of Bryson.

766
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: He did it three hundred and twenty three hundred thirty yards,

767
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: but like he did when he was young, he did

768
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: hit it that far, but he was swinging out of

769
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: his shoes. He was like Bryson a couple of years ago.

770
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: Now he could just swing under control and hit three

771
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: twenty five right down the middle with that baby cut.

772
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, over the last couple of years when

773
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: he was healthy and he'd playing some of these tournaments,

774
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: he's out driving Justin Thomas, he's out driving some of

775
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: these guys he's playing with. And that's at forty seven

776
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: years old. So imagine at twenty six what he would do.

777
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: He would dominate. He would have no problem dominating this era.

778
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,439
Speaker 1: Now would he win at the clip in which he won,

779
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: I don't know. The other major difference is he was

780
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 1: making so much off the course that after like five years,

781
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 1: he could really pick and choose where he played. Now

782
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: the purses, you know, with the signature events he'd have

783
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: to play, obviously the majors. It'd be interesting what a

784
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: schedule was. It probably just look a lot like worries

785
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: he would be. I do believe this unlessen we've lived.

786
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: If you're my age had some unique athletes, right from

787
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:40,959
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan to Steph and Lebron to Brady, there's never

788
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: been His name is Tiger. I mean his name is Tiger.

789
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: Like just that alone, It's like it doesn't get any

790
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: better than that Tiger. It's to me, it's the most

791
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: iconic first name ever. I mean it just it doesn't

792
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 1: get any better than that. I mean that alone, and

793
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: he dominates his field by as much as he did.

794
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, there's this guy that dominates his his

795
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: sport and the gap between him and the next person

796
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: is the widest in the history of the sport. And

797
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: his first name is Tiger. I mean, it's just he's

798
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: gonna be marketable immediately. And he's chiseled. He was good

799
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: looking when he was young. Now he's holding onto the

800
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: hair doesn't not quite as good, but he's never gonna

801
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: shave and look like me. Coming to Arizona at the

802
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: end of the summer, what courses do you recommend playing?

803
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 1: My dad and I want to get out three times.

804
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: I hear the stadium course a TBC. There's a Draft

805
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: Kings course across the street. I mean it's TBC across

806
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: the street, Draft Kings in the middle. What are some

807
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: good bang for your bucks as well as quality? If

808
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: you're coming late summer, so I'd assume August is so

809
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: hot that the that the prices are it's the cheapest

810
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: time of the year. I think you can never go

811
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: wrong playing at minimum two of the three TBC Scottsdale,

812
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: Greyhawk and Troon and if depending on where you're staying,

813
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Quintaro is a fantastic track. I would say

814
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: Raven and Whirlwind are going to be much cheaper than

815
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: those courses and honestly pretty enjoyable. When I first moved here,

816
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 1: I played Raven a lot. Now that's one of them's

817
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: in Chandler, the other ones in Phoenix. But I don't

818
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: think you go wrong TBC, Greyhawk and Truon. What's your

819
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: take on wearing the quote proper golfing attire. I've recently

820
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: taken up golfing as a hobby, and every time I

821
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: go to the course or a range, everyone else is

822
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: wearing similar collared shirt and pants. I feel out of

823
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: place showing up in a T shirt and shorts. But

824
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 1: all the golf clothes I see at stores are absurdly expensive,

825
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure if it's worth it since I'm

826
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: just a beginner. Thanks. I mean, if you're just going

827
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: to the especially a public range, who cares one One

828
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: thing that is changing dramatically, and it's actually starting at

829
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: the top. Historically, golf is by far the stuffies sport.

830
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: It's the country club. Historically, we're only rich people were

831
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: allowed to play. That has dramatically changed over the last

832
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: ten years with the explosion of public golf courses. Then

833
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: it shifted back because public golf is so expensive now,

834
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: and even country club golf is obviously expensive as well

835
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: because you got monthly dues. But a lot of these

836
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: clubs are now like the members are my age forty

837
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: to fifty thirty years old, and go, wait, you're charging

838
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: me all this and I have to tuck in my shirt.

839
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: And that is something at the nicest country clubs right

840
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: now that have a new younger feel. There are no

841
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: dress codes. And listen, you go into Olympic Club in

842
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: the Bay Area, you gotta take off your hat. No

843
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: different cow clubs. Some of these courses Monterey Peninsula Country Club,

844
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: LA Country Club, like they have old school rules, which

845
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate. Whatever you want to have in your club.

846
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: If you want to have those rules, that's fine. I

847
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: do think if you want to generate more interest and

848
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: get more youth involved in the sport, listen, can you

849
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: just wear nothing? Of course not can you go shirtless

850
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: and play around at golf, But if you want to

851
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: wear a T shirt and a pair of just shorts.

852
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: Who cares. I mean, look what the PGA Tour did

853
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. They allowed shorts in

854
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: the practice round. Like, what are we doing, guys, It's

855
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten degrees. We're playing in Memphis and

856
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: there's one hundred percent humidity. I gotta wear pants on

857
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: a Tuesday. So if you're at a public driving range

858
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:45,439
Speaker 1: where whatever you want one thousand percent, and I think

859
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: if you get more and more into it, I think

860
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: golf over the next twenty years, one strong prediction is

861
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: there are gonna be some courses that will never change. Augusta,

862
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: La Country Club, Olympic Club. I just use those two

863
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: exits amples because those are the two nicest ones I've

864
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: ever played. Monterey Peninsula Country Club. Those are going to

865
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: have a stiffer vibe. But like Silver Leaf, which is

866
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: about ten minutes away from me, which costs half a

867
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 1: million dollars to join. Their members are guys like Michael

868
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: Phelps and John Rahm. There is no dress code. It

869
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: does not exist. You can go into the grill and

870
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: wear whatever you want and on any given day like

871
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: there is absolutely it does not exist. And that is

872
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 1: a trend that the more and more people I talk

873
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: to is growing amongst these clubs, because if you want

874
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: to attract younger people, I'm coming here to relax. I'm

875
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: not coming here to be uncomfortable. And you know, forever

876
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: I grew up going to this club in Davis. It's

877
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: it's right between where UC Davis is in Sacramento, and

878
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: the base of the membership are literally farmers and people

879
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: that work in construction. It costs like five thousand dollars

880
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: to join the club. This is not some exclusive elitist

881
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: country club. And they used to have this rule, which

882
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: I think has changed. You could not wear jeans in

883
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: the dining room. It's like, guys, this is not Augusta

884
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: National here Phyllis. Can we my jeans are more expensive

885
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: than some of my slacks? Can I just wear my

886
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: jeans even if I wear a button up shirt? And

887
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 1: I'm all for having just generic rules. Hey, we're having

888
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: a prime rib dinner. I know I'm getting on a

889
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: tangent here, but this is something that is something that

890
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm passionate about. Is like, I am a big believer

891
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: in the dress code should not exist now if you

892
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: are having certain events, I understand it, and I'm not

893
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: saying the PGA tour should allow anything. But as you've seen,

894
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: like overtime, things change, and if you want to just

895
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: wear an untucked shirt, you can wear an untucked shirt,

896
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: So do not worry about what other people are wearing

897
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: at the driving range. You're also right. I mean, listen,

898
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm in business with Travis Matthews. They just sent me

899
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: a couple of collared shirts. I've been paid for a

900
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: polo here in a little while. Trust me, I know

901
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: you go into these golf shops, like you walk into

902
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: the pro shop at TPC, you'd be hard pressed to

903
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: find a polo. Now, granted they mark them up because

904
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: they got the TPC Scottsdale logo on it or the

905
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,919
Speaker 1: waste management logo. I just don't know if you could

906
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: walk in that in that clubhouse and find anything for

907
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: under one hundred dollars, and I get inflation the dollar.

908
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 1: We can talk to about that shit till we're blue

909
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: in the face. The point is I can't find a

910
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: collar chure from one hundred bucks. And that's that's just

911
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: a fact. And they're not alone. I mean that's you

912
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: go into a lot of these places. You go to

913
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 1: the PGA superstore, you better hope they have a sale

914
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: going on. Uh. And loving question for the back, do

915
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: you think that Rory and Bryson will be a rivalry

916
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: for years to come and the separation of players will

917
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: make rivalries better? Or do you think the separation of

918
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 1: the players will minimize the rivalry. I would throw Scotty

919
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: in there as well. I do think the separation which

920
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: is gonna end, whether that ends in two years, five years,

921
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: a year, I don't know. No one seems to have

922
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: a great grasp or understanding or even inside knowledge of

923
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: what is actually gonna happen. I saw Rory had some

924
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: comments today, or maybe it was like last week with

925
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon or wherever I mean CNBC

926
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: O Squawk on the street. He's like, yeah, I don't

927
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: think we're in a huge rush to do a deal

928
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: because they think that they're bleeding dry, not because the

929
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: Saudi's are going to try to run out of money.

930
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: But like you know, sometimes when you're a little kid

931
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: and you're like, go back to your parents for a

932
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: little bit more money, and they say, no, I already

933
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: gave you twenty bucks. I remember one time when I

934
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: was a really little kid, probably like twelve or thirteen.

935
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna go to the movies with some of

936
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: my friends. And this is probably, you know, ninety mid

937
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 1: ninety ninety five, ninety six, ninety four, and back then

938
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: you couldn't just like you didn't pay with things with

939
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: a debit and credit card, right, so when you went somewhere,

940
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: you needed cash. And I think I'd hey, dad, can

941
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: I get ten or twenty bucks? And going to the

942
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:18,760
Speaker 1: movies at the time the movie take it was probably

943
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: like five six bucks for a little kid and popcorn,

944
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: probably three or four. And he didn't have any money.

945
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: And it's like anyone my age knows if you need

946
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: some money from your parents, which if you're a kid

947
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: you don't have any money of your own, that if

948
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: they just didn't have any cash, like there's just no

949
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: cash coming from it, You're just not gonna have any money.

950
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,280
Speaker 1: So maybe you ask your friend if you can borrow

951
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: some maybe his parents pay for you, but if they won't,

952
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: like you're kind of screwed. And it was it was

953
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was thanks around Thanksgiving holiday

954
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: or Christmas holiday, and my grandma, God rest her soul,

955
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: she had some money and I was like, Oh, I'm

956
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: gonna go to the movies, and my dad was like, oh,

957
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: can you give give him? Give him some money, and

958
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,720
Speaker 1: she handed me like two dollars, And it just shows

959
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: you like in her mind. I mean she I don't

960
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: even know when the last time she had been in

961
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: the movies. Who knows. It might maybe have been like

962
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 1: the seventies or sixties, the little kid be able to

963
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,479
Speaker 1: get in the movies or two bucks and my dad

964
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: like kind of laughing in the background. But I don't

965
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: even know what that story had to do with anything.

966
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: Question for the pod did you ever play pass the

967
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: Timbo Golf Club when you lived in the bear It?

968
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: If so, how was it? If not, are you familiar

969
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: with the name. It's the last question. I've played it.

970
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: One time I remember would have been like twenty eighteen

971
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: or nineteen. I would just go on golf now every

972
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: once in a while, and they would have these hot deals.

973
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: I think they still have it, but this is way

974
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: before golf got crazy. And I looked and I had

975
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: heard about this course for a long time. I had

976
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: never played it, and I saw a passa tempo because

977
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: you could just do like a sixty mile radius from

978
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: where you live, and it would give you the best

979
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: courses by rating the cheapest the most expensive. And it

980
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: had like a deal of the month and it was

981
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: past the tempo for like ninety dollars and I was like,

982
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: I did it. And I think it was like a

983
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 1: Wednesday at seven am. And I played with his dad

984
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: and his son. Super nice guy. I think the guy

985
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: had played at like Stanford back in like the sixties.

986
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: Enjoyable guy to play with. And yeah, courses course is sweet.

987
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 1: I mean it's for those of you that don't know

988
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 1: it's it's a really really nice it's a public course.

989
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: I think it's like half public half private, kind of

990
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: down in the Santa Cruz area, probably I don't know,

991
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 1: forty five minutes hour north of Monterey. It's sweet track.

992
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I've played it. I remember I probably

993
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: shot like fifty on the front I got there. I

994
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: didn't even hit balls, just went out and played. It

995
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: was hard, it was cold, and then I settled down

996
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: and started dominating in the back. Maybe shot forty, but

997
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: it was just an enjoyable, just an enjoyable round of golf.

998
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: I remember being pretty empty. I think the either the

999
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: I think the eighteenth hole is a Part three, which

1000
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: in my life is the only time I've ever experienced that.

1001
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 1: And I remember the ninth hole. It kind of is

1002
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: like an uphill. I think Part five headed toward the

1003
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: clubhouse and I had sprayed it into the first hole

1004
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: because it parallels the ninth hole in the first hole

1005
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 1: parallel each other, going opposite directions, and I remember hitting

1006
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: the sand wedge toward the green and I took the

1007
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: biggest divot in the history of divits, and I mean

1008
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: it was massive. It must have been like three feet

1009
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: and like two feet depth, and I remember I didn't

1010
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 1: pick it up. I just walked toward the ball because

1011
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: I was kind of mad. The ball didn't go very far,

1012
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,760
Speaker 1: definitely did not go on the green, and the people

1013
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: that were playing the hole started screaming at me. People

1014
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: playing one because the people I was playing with couldn't

1015
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:53,919
Speaker 1: see me. They were like the opposite side of the green.

1016
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's pretty embrassing moment. So make sure you

1017
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: fill your divts if you can. The volume
