1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody Go low podcast?

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff back again. Here's the drill. I got a

3
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: couple takes off the top, some thoughts on the lift, Golf,

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: the CW, everything that transpired to watch a decent amount

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: of it, not gonna lie the Honda and leading in

6
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: which wasn't very good beside the last couple of holes.

7
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: Leading into these next two weeks, we got bay Hill

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: Elevated event. Then obviously the Players, which is a massive event.

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: So fun week, not obviously just to watch, but to

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: gamble on. We will have Sobel come on, talk some gambling.

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: He's at bay Hill, so talk what it feels like

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: out there. He just got there. Well, Tiger play next

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: week is a big question mark. We'll probably know by

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Friday when he tweets something out good or bad. And

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: And at golo Pod is the gram account. I put

16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: up golf content up there, give some takes, throw up

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: some bs bullshit about golf, try to post some of

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: my own playing of golf. That's where you get on

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: the mail bag. We do a mail bag after Sable

20
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: every single week. At Golopod is the Instagram. Fire in

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: those dms and get your questions. It's separate from my

22
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: other Instagram for three and out at golopod. Easy to

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: find and get in on it. Ask a question if

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: you got one, and let's talk some golf. Can I

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: tell you about my friends at game Time? Live golf

26
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks is right down the road

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: for me in Tucson, Arizona, where the University of Arizona is.

28
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: I am on the fence about going. The only reason

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: I might not is because NFL Free Agency is that weekend.

30
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: But if I do go, I will go through my

31

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: before we dive into bay Hill and some of my

48
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: thoughts on this upcoming week in two weeks, we got

49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: the Players. It's a good little stretch here of golf,

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: and the Masters isn't that far away, So this is

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: this is a fun time, you know. It's we have

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: a little dull run right after the West Coast swing

53
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: when we go to the Honda. But now at the

54
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: elevated events bay Hill, obviously the Players is massive, then

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: the Masters, and then it gets fun. I wanted to

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: dive in on Live because I had some people hit

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: me up in DMS. Listen, I'm I'm not some PGA

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Tour homer, and I'm not like rooting for Live. I'm

59
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: kind of indifferent. I like a lot of the guys

60
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour, and I'm a Tiger would stand

61
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: so I roll with them, but like I'm a consumer,

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: and I thought once they announced that they were going

63
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: to the CW, I thought it was really dumb. I'm like,

64
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: it's so easy for me, as a television watcher or

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: a guy with his iPad or always buy his computer

66
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: to consume you on YouTube. And I found out I

67
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: was wrong because when I went to I have YouTube

68
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: TV in my office, and obviously the algorithms for YouTube

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: know that I watched a lot of sports. So when

70
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: I go to my home page, what popped up on

71
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: Friday was the Honda which was on Golf Channel, and

72
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: right next to it was Mayacoba at the CW. Right

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: And then when I went to where I live, our

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: cable is Comcast, and right next to NBC comes Saturday

75
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: and Sunday was the CW and these guys playing. So

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: from a ease to access it, it was a lot

77
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: different than I thought. For some reason in my mind,

78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: I thought the CW was some throwaway channel, and it

79
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: obviously is because most of us do not watch it.

80
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: But in terms of if you have YouTube TV, it

81
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: was very easy to access, and if you have basic cable,

82
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: it's literally right next to NBC, especially with comcasts, so

83
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: I will give them credit might be the wrong word,

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: but I thought it was moronic to leave YouTube TV,

85
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: and honestly, seeing it this week, not YouTube TV, but

86
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: just on YouTube, I didn't think it was that crazy.

87
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: Now ultimately they're just replaying their own ads, like a

88
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: lot of the ads during Live Golf was their own

89
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: shot commercials, which I understand, hard to sell inventory, but

90
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: like I understood it when I was watching it on TV,

91
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: and I also it hit me now I guess they

92
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: did this last year. That putting their events up against

93
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: the on elevated, non star studded events on the PGA

94
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: Tour is a pretty smart move. You could say it's

95
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: an easy, no brainer move, but there are doing it correctly.

96
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: They've put it on television, which, like I said, if

97
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: you have Comcast, if you have YouTube TV. My brother

98
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: has Hulu and he said he could not find it,

99
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: so that's a problem, Like you got to get on

100
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: the Hulu Disney and maybe that's because of ESPN. Plus

101
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, they were not going to show it. I

102
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: don't know all the details. And the ratings came out

103
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,239
Speaker 1: NBC over the weekend, you know, like did one point

104
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: six and two point four relative to like three hundred

105
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars or three hundred thousand people on the CW

106
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: which makes sense. You do know why the NFL is

107
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: king One it has the most people watching, but two

108
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: it's on the easiest to access channels. NBC is the

109
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: most watched channel in America. Pretty sure CBS is right

110
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: behind it. I would imagine Fox is number three or ABC,

111
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: so most people watch those channels. You know, is archaic

112
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: sounds to some of us younger people when sports are

113
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: not on, like I would never watch ABC or CBS

114
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: or NBC non sports, but when sports are on, they

115
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: get inflated values because so many people watch. Because the Honda,

116
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Let's face it, beside the last couple of holes was

117
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: a pretty irrelevant golf tournament. I follow golf. I put

118
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: myself in like the top two or three percent, and

119
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: that did nothing for me, especially and part of this

120
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: was my own fault. I was gonna put a bet

121
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: on Harris English and Davis Riley, but on the West

122
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Coast swing, you were able to wake up for me

123
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: in Mountain time zone at like six thirty seven o'clock

124
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: and place a bet before they teed off at eight

125
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: or nine on Thursday. Well, obviously when they're on at

126
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: Florida by the time I get up at six thirty.

127
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: It's eight thirty there and the group's already teat off

128
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: and the odds have already changed. So I was late

129
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: to the draw on that. One got to adapt when

130
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: they change venues on different time zones. But I do

131
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: think he's onto something by putting it against these events

132
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: that are only gonna be way worse now that the

133
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: elevated events are so skewed and have so much money,

134
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: and the top guys are all going to gravitate toward it,

135
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: and even the middle tier guys, if they do well

136
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: in that event, will potentially skip some of these random events. Now.

137
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: Chris Kirk, who won the Honda, skipped riv because he

138
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: wanted to prepare for this event where he thought he

139
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: had a much better chance of having success. He was

140
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: proven right because he won the event against some random

141
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 1: guy I'd never heard of in with the last name Colet.

142
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: Never heard of the guy. And I think these events.

143
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: The only thing the PGA Tour has in these random

144
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: the Honda, now John Deere. Whatever is going to turn

145
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: out to be the events that no one actually cares

146
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: about is the drama on Sunday and gambling like gambling

147
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: on live is much more difficult. And here is one

148
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: main issue for Live because if DJ, if cam Smith

149
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: and Bryson would have been dueling it out with Charles

150
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: Howell and you Line and Graham McDowell over the weekend,

151
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: I would have been really really dialed. Now I paid attention,

152
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't say I was dialed because it was

153
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of random guys I didn't care about when

154
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: you invest a ton of money, as LIVED did. Now,

155
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: ultimately they have an unlimited amount of money, but still

156
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: in this endeavor, they took two billion dollars and they

157
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: invested a large percentage of that money upfront to these players. Now, ultimately,

158
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: how they're going to get played or paid like as

159
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: DJ or Phil getting one hundred fifty million dollars two

160
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar check or is it paid in installments

161
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: over the years, I don't know. But clearly they allocated

162
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: the most resources to Dustin Johnson, obviously, Phil Mickelson, Bryson,

163
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: d Shambo, Brooks, Kepka, and I would imagine camp Smith

164
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: after he won the British Open at Saint Andrews. So

165
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: if I've invested, let's just pick a random number. Seven

166
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars into five guys, partly because they are

167
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: the most famous guys. Phil is obviously the oldest, not

168
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: as good anymore. But the other guys have won majors,

169
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: have been top golfers in the last five six years

170
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour. I need them in the mix now.

171
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,359
Speaker 1: The hard part about sports is this is not world

172
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, the WWE. This is not a scripted television show.

173
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: Like ultimately, I know Aaron Foster made the joke, but

174
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: you got to go out and make plays. You got

175
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: to go out and strike someone out. You got to

176
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: go out and make birdies. So it's on the players

177
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: to get it done. But they need the top guys,

178
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: which they invested the most money in and rightfully, so

179
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: those guys deserve the most money to play the best

180
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: and right now, like it also hit me, they don't

181
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: have access to the suite courses. Right just go around

182
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: the country where they're playing this weekend, the players the

183
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: Phoenix Open, all this course in southern California. You just

184
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: go throughout the country. The major venues are not going

185
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: to allow live to play their events there one they're

186
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: in bed with the PGA Tour and too they just

187
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: don't want they don't need anyone's money. So last year

188
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: when they went to Pumpkin Ridge, the course up in Portland,

189
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: they were able to pay for the course, and I'm

190
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: pretty sure I read that they bought the the parking

191
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: lot next door for their own use as well. Because

192
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: money can buy you a lot of places, but in

193
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: this sport where a lot of the elite courses have

194
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: an unlimited amount of money, money only goes so far

195
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: when they don't need your cash, so they have no

196
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: access to some of the sweeter courses. Well, they're playing Mayakoba,

197
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: which historically is a lower level PGA Tour event. A

198
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: guy like Bryson, assuming he's on, he wouldn't play there

199
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: to begin with. His game doesn't really suit there. So

200
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna play a lot of these second third tier

201
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: courses and it's not gonna suit some of their big dogs.

202
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: Like I had to take watching. I watched Dustin Johnson

203
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: play a couple holes and eventually pumped a couple in

204
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: the trees. Whatever, it can be a challenging course and

205
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: I thought I looked at his master's on they were

206
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: like twenty five to one. I'm like, if Dustin Johnson

207
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: was playing on the PGA Tour, he'd be one of

208
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: the best five or six players on the PGA Tour,

209
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: and his odds to win the Masters would be like

210
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: thirteen to one. Instead they're like twenty five to one.

211
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: That's incredible value. But it's hard to judge how good

212
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson is when he's playing. Half the field is

213
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: pretty random and older guys, And how much is he

214
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: really trying. I don't know now when it comes to

215
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: the majors, I expect him to not only try but

216
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: be pretty good, but they need him to be good

217
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: in these events. And with Bryson, with Keepka, I know

218
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: it's a long shot, but it'd be nice if Phil

219
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: was in the top five in one of these events eventually,

220
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: because if he's not, like his name recognition and his

221
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: stardom's kind of gonna wear off. Now you're never going

222
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: to compete in the next several years against NBC or

223
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: CBS when they have one of these random events that

224
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: they just get way more viewers. We both could show

225
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: the same show. It could just be me talking for

226
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: an hour and you could put it on CBS and

227
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: you could put it on CW the exact same show.

228
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: And the CBS would twenty five exit, So it's not

229
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: going to be a fair fight. But their product is

230
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: not going to differentiate if they don't get the top

231
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: dogs which they invested, playing well and in the mix

232
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: in all these tournaments. Because if it's not the case

233
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: as some one that loves the sport and wants to

234
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: watch it, I'm gonna be indifferent to it. And if

235
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm indifferent to it, then the random fan is And

236
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: that to me is his biggest uphill battle, which is

237
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: something Norman and the side he's can't really control because

238
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: watching the Honda, like the last couple holes were cool.

239
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: But beside that, unless you had one of the guys

240
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: in the mix to top five, top ten or win

241
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: the tournament, who cares. It doesn't really matter. And now

242
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: a tournament that does matter because of these elevated events,

243
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: because of the amount of money and because of the

244
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: strength of field. Now, however, we want to, you know,

245
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: equate the strength of field. Owgr Just fucking look at

246
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: the names the best players are playing in this event. Now,

247
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: John ram is getting Tiger Woods like treatment. He's six

248
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: to one to win this thing. Now you could argue

249
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: that's crazy, but he's won tournaments before at six seven

250
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: to one, and if he's on, he can probably win

251
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: anywhere at any time. Right now, Gunn Ram's already won

252
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: this year, right a couple of times. Max Holme has

253
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: already won, Scottie Scheffler has already won. It's like kind

254
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: of time for Rory to do something in these next

255
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Like it'd be nice if Rory also

256
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: rattles off of w either this weekend or the next

257
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: weekend of the players before the Masters, so we get

258
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: some all the top players, which I know Maxholma technically

259
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: is not a top four player, but like, don't get

260
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: it twisted, he's playing better than Max, you know, Justin

261
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: Thomas or Colin Morikawa, like Maxi Hooma. Right now, currently,

262
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: if you had to put money on a player, is

263
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: one of the first five players you would gamble on

264
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: playing in a golf tournament. So those guys have already

265
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: taken care of business. Their game speaks for itself. Scottie

266
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: Jefferd goes to the Phoenix Open, like I can't win

267
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: back to back. No, he wins back to back and

268
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: he takes out rom Right, takes out Patrick Cantlay, takes

269
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: out Nick Taylor, which kind of a fun little story,

270
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: but like, tryper Rory to do something, you know, if

271
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna and I thought coming into this season, Roy's

272
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna win a major, just like Ron John Rom's gonna

273
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: win a major. PEO. Nice to see Rory get it

274
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: done here in the States right now, this week or

275
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: next week. I think there is some tangible pressure on

276
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: him to kind of parlay what was last year into

277
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: right now into these next seven eight days, maybe even

278
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: along ten days right Bay Hill and Sawgrass. It would

279
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: be exciting to watch Rory be in one of the

280
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: final groups either Saturday or Sunday. I'm not necessarily expecting it.

281
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bet on him these next couple

282
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: of weeks, but I'm rooting for it as a fan. Well,

283

327
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: the buzz out of Bay Hill? Bro? Yeah, John, I

328
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: like the fact that you and I have a designated

329
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: podcast here where yeah, we all have to show up

330
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: for the big of the head. You know, I will

331
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: be very very honest with you to do this for

332
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: a long time, and many many times over the years,

333
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: I've shown up on site at a PG eight tour

334
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: a van and in two minutes done an interview with

335
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: someone who goes, what's the buzz out there? And I

336
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: usually like to kind of you know, yesterday, well, you know,

337
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: lots of players warming up, you know, the weather, and

338
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: this is going on. I'm gonna tell you right now.

339
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: I gotta here about five minutes ago. No buzz. There's

340
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys right in front of me on

341
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: the range. I don't know. The wind's blowing a little bit.

342
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: I haven't quite gotten a sense of the buzz yet,

343
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: but I just got here, okay, before we dive into

344
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: the tournament. Obviously, you know once you you'll be talking

345
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: to these guys the next couple of days. I would

346
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: imagine that the live buzz CW live thoughts. So, first

347
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: of all, very funny because I was one of these

348
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: people whom deennigrated the deal for a Live to signed CW.

349
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can find CW if I tried. Well.

350
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: Friday night, fell asleep watching like Seinfeld re runs or

351
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: something like that. Sturdy afternoon, I got home from playing golf,

352
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: turned on the TV and the TV's on the same

353
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: channel that had been on the night before, and Live

354
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: is on the TV because the Steinfeld reruns around the CW.

355
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, okay, there you go. That's how

356
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: you find Live golf. If you want on your TV,

357
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: I just have to luck into it. And so I

358
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: watched it for a little while. I don't know. I mean, look,

359
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: I've been saying the same thing for a while now.

360
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: If you like Live more than you like the PGA too,

361
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: or I'm so happy for you that you found something.

362
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's people out there that have been watching

363
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: XFL games saying, man, the NFL, it takes too long.

364
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: They don't get the cool like you know, fourth and

365
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: fifteen type play for an onside kick. And I like

366
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that they're doing on XFL, and

367
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a big XFL fan and like it

368
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: more than the NFL. I get it. If you have

369
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: the need to feel like you're a big fish in

370
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: a small pond and you want to be a fan

371
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: of the alternative nature of the sport there, I get that.

372
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: I feel like there's there's people out there that want

373
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: to be that. For Live, that's fine. Look, I got

374
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: no problem you like Live, Hey, more power to you.

375
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: Go ahead. There's choices out there, there's options. But I

376
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: will tell you that I thought the tension, the pressure,

377
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: the drama on the PGA Tour at the Honda Classic

378
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: this past Sunday, I thought was as high as any

379
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: we've seen at a non major in the last couple

380
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: of years. Chris Kirk on the roadbacks from sobriety to sobriety,

381
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: you know, trying to make that comeback full circle and

382
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: win for the first time in eight years. Eric Cole,

383
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: who's had a crazy journey in his own personal life

384
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: and professional career. Ryan Girard, who was a Monday qualifier.

385
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: I just thought that everything around that last ninety minutes

386
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: of the telecast was terrific viewing, and so it wasn't

387
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: that for me, at least for Live. And Look, if

388
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: there are others out there, and I've seen people on

389
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: Twitter saying, Charles Howell the third winning this golf tournament,

390
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: it was great. It was great theater, its great drama.

391
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: If you feel that way, I'm happy for you. I'm

392
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: not going to argue with you. Go ahead. I didn't

393
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: feel that way. I thought the PGA Tour event was

394
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: fantastic at the Honda, and look, this is exactly what

395
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: they need. I don't know their scriptwriters out there for

396
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour, like people accused the NFL of having,

397
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: but if there were, this is exactly what they needed,

398
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: which was two really good storylines down the stretch on

399
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: a week when most of the best players weren't playing. Yeah,

400
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: one of my takes on Live like you said, it's

401
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: much easert to find then we all thought. I saw

402
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people tweeting out the pictures. It was

403
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: literally right next to NBC on the guide. I think

404
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: for Comcast and for me YouTube TV, it comes right up.

405
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: They cannot have Peter Uline and Charles Howell battling it

406
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: out like they gonna the guys they gave one hundred

407
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars too, that they're gonna need a

408
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: couple of them in the mix every single week. I

409
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: mean they'd not have I mean, Bryson, I'm sure you've

410
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: been to Mayako, but one issue they're gonna have, right,

411
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: they don't have access to these suite courses, so they're

412
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: playing these second rate courses and some of them are

413
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: kind of target golf, So Bryson's irrelevant. DJ doesn't really care.

414
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean he can get hot or whatever can if

415
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: those guys aren't in the mix. No one's gonna care

416
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: about these up, either the older guys or some of

417
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: the other randoms. So the randoms on the PGA Tour

418
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: playing on NBC, there's a reason the NFL loves NBC

419
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: because it's the most watch channel in America. Is going

420
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: to do two and a half million people when it's

421
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: Chris Kirk and Erica, I've never heard of a guy.

422
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: But it didn't matter, Like you said, the last couple

423
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: of holes, which you know is what I watched, what

424
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: was fantastic. Yeah, I agree with all of that. I

425
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: don't know way that you manufacture live having the Campsmiths

426
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: of the world and DJ Can's on top of the leaderboard.

427
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: You can't. And so at some point you're gonna have

428
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: Charles Owel winning by seven shots or whatever he did.

429
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I feel like that's not even

430
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: part of necessarily the nature of what they're trying to do,

431
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: which is, you know, I look at the PGA Tours competition.

432
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: I look at live as more entertainment, and the people

433
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: who are watching live are probably watching less for the

434
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: competitive aspect of it and more for the entertainment aspect.

435
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: And look, you're gonna get the entertainment. They're playing a

436
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: lot of music, wearing shorts, they're having fun, they're wearing

437
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: their team colors. Well, again, you know, it's not my thing.

438
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: I know it's not your thing. I know a lot

439
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: of people it's not gonna be their thing. But there

440
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: are going to be some people who who enjoy that more.

441
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: And I don't know who you are, And I don't

442
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: know how you can watch the last four or five

443
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: holes of regulation in the playoff hole the Honda Classic

444
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: and say, nah, I thought Charles Howell winning by a

445
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: bunch at Mayakobo was more interesting and more intriguing. But

446
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: there are people out there who feel that way, or

447
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: at least say that they feel that way. And again,

448
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: that's fine. They could be that I'm okay with it.

449
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna bother me. Transitioning from Live, I would

450
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: say post twenty twenty one of the best golf moments,

451
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: major or non major has got to be those couple

452
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: of days with Bryson hitting it over the water where

453
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: you're sitting. Just in terms of a viral moment, a

454
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: transcended golf. NFL people were a sports people were into it.

455
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: It was cool, and this event had kind of fallen

456
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: off the top players. We're not in now with the money,

457
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, kind of forced by Live. However, we want

458
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: to put it all the top guys are here, you know,

459
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: you know a lot more players than me. But one

460
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: thing I've heard over the years that like Tiger, who

461
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: won this place, a lot hated this course. A lot

462
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: of guys hate this place because it's hard, you know,

463
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: and you know the wind's coming. What do you expect

464
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: because the field is loaded, obviously the money drives them out.

465
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: Do you expect a normal leaderboard like Riviera or is

466
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: this course a little more unique that it could be chaos?

467
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: I think more because of the weather. It's going to

468
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: level the playing field a little bit. The winds are

469
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: gonna come through. It's like it's Tuesday midday as we're

470
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: talking right now, and the flags that are already blowing around.

471
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: It's pretty windy out here. Looking at the forecast Thursday

472
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: about a one one and a half club wind Friday

473
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: really gets going, I mean gus up to the mid

474
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: forties right now, and again it's Tuesday. That can change

475
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: and get later and get heavier. I mean we can

476
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: see wind gus up to fifty by the time Friday

477
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: rolls around. Well, it happened last year at the Planet

478
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: that at the players right you got got out of

479
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: control last year here five under one. Two of the

480
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: last three years we've had five under and four unders

481
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: the winning score of this golf tournament. And that's all

482
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: because of the weather. It's uh, it's wind and it's

483
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: it's hot and windy. And when it's hot and windy,

484
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: as you know, golf course gets baked out. These greens

485
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: are really really difficult to hold. Um it's difficult tots

486
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: in normal conditions, they're really difficult to hold them. They

487
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: get fast and firm, and there's a forty mile an

488
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: hour wind blowing through here. John rom six and a

489
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: half to one like it, though not even a little bit.

490
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: If there is some kryptonite for Superman, it may be

491
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: Bermuda Greens. He has never won in the state of

492
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: Florida any of his ten career PGAs. Who are victories,

493
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: and so I look, I don't think I'm betting him

494
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: anywhere that number right now, but certainly not here and

495
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: probably not next week either. Who's your pick? I'm going

496
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: Wills out of tours. I get these not one hundred percent,

497
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: and I get the putting stroke. There's been a few

498
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: viral videos. There was one back at Farmers where it

499
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: looks really ugly. But I picked up here last year

500
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: and he was in the middle of losing strokes to

501
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: the field in six straight events with the butter. Right

502
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: now he's gain strokes in six straight events with the

503
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: flat stick. And so I'm not gonna sit here and

504
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: say that he's the best putter on BJA Tour. But

505
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: it's been better than field average for the last six

506
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: and that's him playing against the best players as well,

507
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: so it's not like he's picking off good weeks against

508
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: poor players or anything like that. So I think the

509
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: putter is there. I think ball striking's there. He has

510
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: said that he won't be a hundred percent from this

511
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: back injury until April. But I do think sometimes with

512
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: lowered expectations come better results with some of these professional golfers,

513
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping for that with Zalatorus this week. You know,

514
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: there are a couple of guys, obviously the high end.

515
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we got three guys right now hovering below

516
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: ten to one. Now they win a lot, and Rory

517
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: not necessarily, but he's always in the mix. You know,

518
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: a guy like Justin Thomas Tony Fenewe, who you would

519
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: say would have some win equity just on a weekly

520
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 1: basis on the PGA tour. You know, are both covering

521
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: around more that twenty five to one number. You know,

522
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: Jason Day now feels like he's a little too high, right,

523
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: like him more fifty sixty to one more than up

524
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: getting lower than thirty to one, like I gotta pump

525
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: the brakes there. But JT who I put a lot

526
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: of money on the rivier and wasn't very good. And

527
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: Finewe who is you know, just kind of slow and

528
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: steady so far this year. What are you think about

529
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: those two guys from a value standpoint, I mean, Tip

530
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: those guys, I mean, when they're playing well, can be

531
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen to one on a given week. The value

532
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: is great. Look, there are very few events during the

533
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: course of the season where those two guys are at

534
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: twenty five to one and they're not auto bet. This

535
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: week is one of those few weeks. And I say that, John,

536
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at players who aren't just here because

537
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: it's a designated event. I'm looking for guys who come

538
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: here every year, who liked this golf course, who liked

539
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: the test, who liked the fact that hars mean something

540
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: on this golf course. JT hasn't been back here in

541
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: about seven or eight years, and the reason for that

542
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: is because he just doesn't like it that much. It's hard.

543
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: It beats you up the week before a big time

544
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: event with the Players Championship coming up next week. And

545
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: so I look at JAT and I say, you know what, there,

546
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: twenty five to one is a great number. I'm with you.

547
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: I've bet him a few times on the West Coast

548
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: and that of course didn't work out out. But I'm

549
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: not getting after him. And again, there are very few

550
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: times during the year with JT's twenty five to one

551
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: that I won't jump at the chance, but the fact

552
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: that he hasn't played here most years in the past,

553
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: I think since this rookie year, Yeah, I really I'm

554
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: looking for guys who are essentially going to be here anyway.

555
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: And that's quite frankly, that's what we've been seeing in

556
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: both Phoenix and it Ribs so far over the last

557
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: two the last three weeks those prior designated events. The

558
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: guys who are up there on the leaderboard is guys

559
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: who normally play there any way, not guys who said, well,

560
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: I guess I have to throw it on the schedule

561
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: because well, I'm one of these top players and I

562
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: have to go play there. We saw Rory and Phoenix

563
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: is a great example. Phoenix great golf course for him,

564
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: you know, should go out there and play well. Didn't

565
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: like the vibe, he was never quite into it. Didn't

566
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: play his best golf, and the reason for that is

567
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: because he just doesn't play there anyway. He only played

568
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: there once and that was during COVID when there were

569
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: in a whole lot of fans out there. So, you know,

570
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: I think you have to look at guys who have

571
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: played in the past and we're coming here anyway, even

572
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: before it was a designated event. So then another guy

573
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: ride in that range who's played here consistently would be

574
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: Victor Hovland. You know one thing, you know this. I've

575
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: never been there, but I guess the greens are bigger,

576
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: a little less chip either on the green or probably

577
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: in the water, so he keeps the wedge out of

578
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: his hand. Would you like Victor Hovelin then more this

579
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: week than dut Yeah? I do like Hoblin. Hoblin is

580
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: not a guy that I've been on this year at all,

581
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: But unlike say Augustin National in about five or six weeks,

582
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: they are not these tight chipping areas where he's got

583
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: to pick it clean if his ball does miss the green,

584
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: and we all know about his problems around the greens.

585
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a lie in the rough where you

586
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: can get under the ball and pitch it up in

587
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: the air, and I don't think that's as much of

588
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: a problem for his maneuver as trying to pick it

589
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: clean off those tight lies. So I do like Hoblind

590
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: A lot should have won here last year starting out

591
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: sixty nine, sixty six, finished seventy four, seventy five, finish

592
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: the Sheriff's second place. He was really close to winning

593
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: this thing over Scottie Scheffler. I would not be as

594
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: far as the Victor Hoblin picks one off this week, Okay,

595
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: a couple of longer shots around seventy eighty to one,

596
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: and you know it's probably safer to bet these guys

597
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: top five, top ten. But Keegan Bradley last year Florida

598
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: win pumping players was excellent. He's been playing well, drives

599
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: the ball well. Gary Woodland shown sides of life a

600
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago at Riviera. Another guy I'm pretty sure

601
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: he lives in Florida. Tough golf course, windy conditions. He

602
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: plays this course, you know, this kind of Florida swing

603
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: every year. I mean, that's about as long as I'll

604
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: go about seventy eighty to one. But what do you

605
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: think about those two guys? Really like those two guys.

606
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw Tommy Fleetwood in the mix for that

607
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: range as well. And I'll even give you Keith Mitchell

608
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: keeps a little too short for me this week for

609
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: an outright considering he's only still won once, even though

610
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: he has a pair of top fives in his last

611
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: three starts, But I do like that range, and I'm

612
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: looking at flushers. This is team no put this week.

613
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is the greens are

614
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: gonna get fast, they're gonna get baked out. It's going

615
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: to be windy. Give me the best ball strikers, and

616
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: you know what, two putting for pars all over this

617
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: golf course is not going to be a bad thing.

618
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: I think you have to look at this event sort

619
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: of way you look at a US Open, which is

620
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: not who's going to make the most birdies, but who's

621
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: going to make the fewest mistakes. And the guys who

622
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 1: drive it well off the team, the guys who hit

623
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: solid approach shots and will be on the greens. Those

624
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: are the guys that I like this week. You know what,

625
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,959
Speaker 1: if I happen to make a few puts, great, they

626
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: probably have a good chance of winning. But if not,

627
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: they will still be up there because of the ball

628
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: striking prowess. So it's those names again, Keegan, Tommy Fleetwood,

629
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: Keith Mitchell, Gary Woodland, And I'll give you two if

630
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: we go a little bit deeper. Him right now on

631
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: the right side of the range. He's right next to

632
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: mister Palmer's umbrella. But christ John Bazaden, who who's very

633
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: good around the greens, and if you miss greens, he's

634
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: the guy that I want getting up and down. He's

635
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: a member here at bay Hill. He's finishing the top

636
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: twenty each of the last three years. He's about one

637
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: thirty to one right now. I don't know he's gonna win,

638
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: but top ten's, top twenties definitely in play for him.

639
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: And then if I'm going really deep at two fifty

640
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: to one, a guy who isn't afraid to go out

641
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: and win against a big field because he's done it

642
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: in the past. He's got some form, he's played well

643
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: here in the past. How about Danny Willett this week,

644
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: who's starting to play golf again. Okay, former Masters champion, Yeah, okay,

645
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: I like a good long shot. Okay, I'm gonna I'm

646
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna end it on this. I guess you have to

647
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: commit as a PGA Tour player to the tournament by

648
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: what Saturday morning Friday night? Is that why Tiger tweeted

649
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: Friday evening? Do you do you expect a tweet then

650
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: while players are on the course either Thursday or Friday

651
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: from Tiger See you guys in a couple of days

652
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: or no, I do. I have no insight. I have

653
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: no knowledge, inside knowledge of this, but it would surprise

654
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: me more if Tiger doesn't play next week's Players Championship

655
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: than if he does. I think that as long as

656
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: he got home from Riviera and was in one piece

657
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: and could feel okay, go out and hit balls a

658
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: couple of days later, I would think there's no reason

659
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: he can't get in another set of reps, first of all,

660
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: just to prepare for Augusta and prepare for the upcoming

661
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: major championship season. But the second part of this is

662
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: that Tiger, of course been a very vocal leader of

663
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour over the past year. With all the

664
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: sumultuousness going on with the PGA Tour and with Lift Golf,

665
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: I would think the Tiger wants to support the PGA

666
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: Tour as much as he can, and there's no better

667
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: way to support the tour right now than showing up

668
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: for their flagship event at TBC Sellgress and a little

669
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: like Augusta. Right he knows that course so well. It's

670
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: not like he has to grind Monday through Wednesday. He

671
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: could just show up kind of Wednesdays. He hit balls

672
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,479
Speaker 1: at his own house Monday Tuesday and be ready, no program,

673
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: no program on Wednesday. That helps. Yeah, the weather should

674
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: be pretty good. I would think that this would be

675
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: right up his alley. He can he can show up,

676
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: like you said, Tuesday evening Wednesday morning and go out

677
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: there and play. From a gambling standpoint, there was so

678
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 1: much unknown when he played riv and he was definitely

679
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: better than anyone thought. Would you say there be like

680
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: a little value on a Tiger Woods like top twenty

681
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: at the Players given the signs of life that he

682
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: showed at Riff, he's had success at the Players or

683
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: still the fields so deep it's just difficult. It's never

684
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: been his favorite golf course. I know he's won almost

685
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: won there twice, just because he's the best player in

686
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: the world, and you know, for twenty years and so

687
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: by accident, you're gonna win everything at some point other

688
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: than at Riviera. So um, I know I would wait

689
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: for the top twenty play until we get to Augusta,

690
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: and that's where you know, if you want to if

691
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw, let's say you're putting twenty bucks on

692
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: him the Players for a top twenty and twenty on

693
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: him at Agusta for a top twenty, I just take

694
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: forty and save it for the Masters, because, like I said,

695
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: he's never quite loved TPC sawgrass. Now he's a different

696
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: player now, he doesn't play with it as much power.

697
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: I know the swing speed still up there, but he's

698
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: more of a precision type player than he was ten, fifteen,

699
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. So maybe the course plays to his

700
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: strengths a little bit more now than they did before.

701
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: But I still he's just never quite been in love

702
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: with that golf course, and so I don't think it's

703
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: a health issue. I think it's more of a Tigers

704
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: is kind of ramp it up. He's looking past that

705
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: one to the next one, and so I would just

706
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: stay away until we get to the major championships. We'll

707
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: have fun at bay Hill where your wind breaker, and

708
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: let's enjoy the week too hot. I know it's windy,

709
00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: but ninety ninety degrees. Yeah, well you got no state

710
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: income tax. There. You guys are doing okay, We're doing fine. Yeah,

711
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: see us, Thanks buddy. Mail bag time. Here's how you

712
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: get in at golo Pod. At Golopod is the Instagram

713
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: fire in those dms and get your question answered here

714
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: on the show. Who would be your four dream picks

715
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: to win majors this year? Good question? As I talked

716
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: about earlier, I think Rory is definitely in need of

717
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: a major. I always like, listen, I say this all

718
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: the time. I watched pro sports for Michael Jordan, Tiger

719
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: Woods and Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, like I want

720
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: to see John Rom become a fucking legend. So I

721
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind seeing Rory win the Masters. John Rom, you know,

722
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: knock off like the US Open, and I don't know,

723
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: the the Open, the British Open, and maybe like Max

724
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: Hooma win a PGA. So wouldn't bother me if I'm

725
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: rooting for John Ram to win, win a couple, Rory

726
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: to win the Masters, and then Homa to uh, maybe

727
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: Homa to win the US Open, Rom to win the

728
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: PGA and the Open would would uh, It's kind of

729
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: what I'm rooting for. John. Have you explored betting groups

730
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: for these tournaments? You can bet the winner of a

731
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: group of four guys and the odds are usually good.

732
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: Picking one to beat three is a hell of a

733
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: lot better than one to beat one. Hundred I have.

734
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: I enjoy doing that where where I'm a sucker. And

735
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: this is why I'm gonna have a bet on Zalatorus, Hovelin, Fenwe,

736
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: Keegan and Gary this week the odds, you know, Like

737
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: I bet the stock market. I have a lot of

738
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: money invested, invested in crypto, invested in some stocks like

739
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: I have some basic ones, right, some ones that probably

740
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people have bet on, like Netflix or

741
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: Zillo or Apple. But I'll so like betting on crypto

742
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: and betting on some you know, electric vehicle companies that

743
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: are a little bit of a long shot that might

744
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: pay thirty to one. And that's how I gamble on golf,

745
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: like I like taking Max Holm at one hundred bucks

746
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: to win twenty five. I bet on football for the odds.

747
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: I bet on golf for the payouts, you know, and

748
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 1: the rush. I'll be honest, I don't bet on golf

749
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: like I do football. It's much more like betting on

750
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 1: hoping I win the lottery, which is not a great

751
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: way to gamble. Like I don't claim to be gambling

752
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: responsibly in the sense where I think I'm gonna win

753
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: a lot But if I have a guy that has

754
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: a chance to win. Come Sunday and I have thirty

755
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: forty fifty to one odds and I bet fifty or

756
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks. It's one of the most incredible feelings

757
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: I've ever felt in my life as a sports watcher,

758
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: as a sports gambler. I've bet several thousand dollars on

759
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: football games in my life, on individual games like a

760
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: thousand dollars or two thousand dollars. But I can only

761
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: win what I bet, right, even if I bet plus

762
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: the Niners plus one oh five to beat the Eagles,

763
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: so I bet two thousand dollars. Well, if I would

764
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: have won that, I would have won two thousand dollars back.

765
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: If I do the same in golf, which obviously you

766
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: never bet on someone two thousand dollars to win a

767
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: golf tournament. But to win two thousand dollars in golf

768
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: you only have to bet fifty bucks, you know, on

769
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: a really sweet player one hundred dollars. That's what makes

770
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: golf gambling so special. Now, it's hard to hit outright winners,

771
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: but if you're beting one hundred dollars on a guy

772
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: to win two thousand dollars, you're betting on one of

773
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 1: the better players in the tournament, like Max Hoomas twenty

774
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: two to one this week, or Wills Allatorus is twenty

775
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: five to one, or Justin Thomas is twenty five to one.

776
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: So all I have to bet is fifty bucks to

777
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: win thirteen hundred. That's hard to beat. Hey, John, I

778
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: asked this question on your other Instagram, but I don't

779
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 1: believe you've been able to get it and the question fails.

780
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: More are in line with golf. How would you personally

781
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: make the argument that Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer

782
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: of all time? If you have answered this, then my bad. Well.

783
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: I think Jack Nicholas is the most accomplished golfer of

784
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: all time. He's won more majors. I don't think anyone.

785
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 1: I'm not old enough to watch Jack. I've never met Jack.

786
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: I've watched documentaries on him. I do think it's fair

787
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: to say that Tiger Woods is the best player of

788
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: all time and Jack Nicholas had the best career of

789
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: all time. Jack Nicholas competed in a major. I watched

790
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: a highlight. I think he got sixth when he was

791
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,479
Speaker 1: fifty eight at the Masters. Like as Tiger Wood's gonna

792
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: be playing at the Masters when he's fifty eight. Probably

793
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: not now. Obviously Jack didn' battle the injuries that Tiger battled.

794
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: But I do think it's fair to say that Tiger

795
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: in his peak, is the best player we've ever seen.

796
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: And Jack had the greatest career we've ever seen. Like

797
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: I can say this Tom Brady, He's going to have

798
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: the greatest NFL career ever. I don't think any quarterback

799
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: is ever gonna win seven Super Bowls. But if you're

800
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: my age year older, is Tom Brady a better player

801
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: in a vacuum than Patrick Mahomes? No, Patrick Mahomes is

802
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: definitely more talented, more athletic, stronger arm. But that's not

803
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: we judge you in most sports on who's a better player,

804
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: Like Michael Jordan was the best player, and he's the

805
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: most accomplished. Well, Bill Russell's more accomplished. But him and Lebron.

806
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: Lebron's never win in six championships. It's over at four,

807
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: and I'll be honest, the fourth is very questionable, the

808
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: Bubble Championship, but like, I'm not here to argue that.

809
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: But he's never stepping Mike, especially now he's injured, like

810
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: Tiger is never gonna catch Jack. He's never gonna win

811
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: another major. I listen, I love Tiger, but he's never

812
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: going to But yeah, I think Tiger is the best

813
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 1: player of all time. I've been playing golf for two

814
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: years and have actually worked at a course, so I've

815
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: been around the game a ton recently. This is my

816
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: first year really betting on the PGA and was wondering

817
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: what you do to base your picks on outright winners,

818
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: top five, top ten, etc. Is it more a feeling

819
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: you get or more stat based or just writing the

820
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: hottest coming in. I think it's it's several categories that

821
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: I use. One I watch every week so I know

822
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: who's playing well, and then you do have to do

823
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: some research, right like this week at bay Hill. Gary

824
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: Woodland played well last year at this tournament. Well, Gary

825
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: Woodland just played well a couple of weeks ago, so

826
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: he's in form. He's played well at this tournament. Getting

827
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: him eighty to one, placing a twenty five dollar bet

828
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: on him to win is not crazy. Victor Hovlin last

829
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: year played well at this tournament. I like his you

830
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: know ability, he's a great iron iron player. When he's on,

831
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: he's accurate off the tea. He's not great at chipping,

832
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: But as we talked about with so Bolt at this tournament,

833
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: the greens are huge. You don't have to chip. You're

834
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: either in the water or you're putting. So I think

835
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: you have to base things on courses, course history, and

836
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: how guys are playing currently. Now, sometimes with the great

837
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: players like Justin Thomas can just get hot and win

838
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: any given week. Like if you told me Justin Thomas

839
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: wins at bay Hill, I'm not gonna bet them, but

840
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: it would shock me. So they're gonna be a subset

841
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: of guys, the top guys that if they're on, like

842
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: Colin Marikawa, can be playing shitty and then all of

843
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: a sudden win. But I think when you get past

844
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: like the top five six guys odds wise every week,

845
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: you know you do have to factor in how they're playing,

846
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: in their course history. Chris Kirk plays really well at

847
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: the Honda, so betting him to finish top ten last

848
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: week would not be crazy. Now, like I said, betting

849
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: guys to win out right in golf is really hard

850
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: because you it's not football. You don't just have to

851
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: beat one team. You technically have to beat one hundred

852
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: and fifty guys right, obviously, you know Tiger said this forever.

853
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: If you're playing pretty well, you really have to beat

854
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: thirty or forty. But from a gambling perspective, you have

855
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: to look at it like, you know, can this guy

856
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: beat That's actually how I look at it. Can you

857
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: beat forty or fifty guys? Right? Because half the field's

858
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna suck, It's difficult to do. I'm a gut fuel guy,

859
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: always have been as a gambler from my boyfriend. I

860
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: find it odd you don't have more interest in watching live.

861
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 1: It's been ignored on your podcast other than talk about

862
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: the controversy. It's human nature to pick aside and stick

863
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: to it. But I think objectively there is too much

864
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: to like about live product to not enjoy if you're

865
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: a true golf fan. The field they have assembled for

866
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: the upcoming season is no joke, and honestly, the format

867
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: really is more appealing for TV. Feels high urgency, like

868
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: a life sport. I watch higher popularity PGA events, Waste

869
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 1: Management Genesis as well, and my viewership isn't going away

870
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 1: with the talent they have. I just feel like there's

871
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: plenty of room for supporting both for the consumer listen

872
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: at my core. I am a consumer, so if Live

873
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: is good TV, I will watch. But like last week,

874
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: Haunted did nothing for me. But I don't pretend like

875
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: it matters. I Live plays fourteen times a year. Like,

876
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: we can't pretend that that mattered. It was Charles Howell

877
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: against Peter fucking u Line and Peter u Line who

878
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: was a couple of shots back on like whole ten

879
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 1: hit a shot like me duck hook low into the trees.

880
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: And I think most people did have followed his career

881
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: much closely closer than I have, consider him like a

882
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: minor league player, like a four A type baseball player,

883
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: Like he's not a PGA tour legit player. Charles Howell is.

884
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:41,399
Speaker 1: He's won once, I think, in fifteen years. So DJ

885
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: is one of the best players in the world. Cam

886
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: Smith one of the best players in the world. Bryson

887
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: one of the more intriguing players in the world. But

888
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: we can't act like Charles Howell the third matters or

889
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: Peter eu Line matters, because no one pretends that Chris

890
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: Kirk battling you know, a bunch of randoms matters. We

891
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: don't but live every one of their ten twelve fourteen tournaments.

892
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: We act like it is really important. Some of them

893
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: are if it's DJ battling cam. But what we just witnessed,

894
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 1: it just doesn't like that's that's not anything I watched.

895
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 1: Like I'm a consumer. I consume. But when we try

896
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: to like measure it of it, of the importance of it,

897
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: like we all have to acknowledge, like that wasn't that important?

898
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: We just do. You mentioned on a recent pod that

899
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: your handicap is a four. What's your golf handicap journey been, like?

900
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: What was the low hanging fruit that helped you get

901
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: below ten? I started golf about two years ago, down

902
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: to a sixteen from a twenty four. But I aspire

903
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: to be a single digit. Well, I've been a I

904
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: played in high school, so I've been a single digit

905
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: since high school. But I've always been a guy high seventies,

906
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: low eighties. I shot the best round of my life

907
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: last year. I shot one under par in the Bay Area,

908
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: and honestly, I didn't hit my driver very well. I

909
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 1: just birdied like four or five holes and I got

910
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: up and down a lot of holes. My driver has

911
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: never been great. It's always been a major weakness in

912
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: my game. If I can hit my driver well, like

913
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: when I play rounds, when I hit my driver and

914
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: I'm hitting eighty percent of the fairways, I'm gonna shoot

915
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: in the mid seventies, no problem. Because I'm a pretty

916
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: good iron player. I can put a little bit. My

917
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: short games probably average. But I've been playing golf. I'm

918
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: thirty eight. I mean, I've been playing golf almost thirty

919
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: years now, so I never I haven't been a twenty

920
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: handicap since I was like ten years old, so I

921
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 1: haven't advantaged that way. So there's not like I'm banging balls.

922
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: But I last week I shot seventy five one day

923
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 1: and the next day I shot eighty nine. So I'm

924
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm all over the map. Like most guys that are

925
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: four or five handicaps, I can shoot in the mid seventies.

926
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: I can also shoot eighty eight. I have to get

927
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: your take on the new Tiger and roy TGL League

928
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: Monday Night Golf. I fucking love it. I've been saying

929
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: for a while, I don't even know what it is, Like,

930
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: what is it? You know? That's my question. I'm not antiet,

931
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: I'm not for it. I don't even get it. They

932
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: got a bunch of famous guys. I'll pay attention, But

933
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: I remember Dan Patrick said this a year ago. Like

934
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:14,240
Speaker 1: I don't even understand, Like I don't night golf indoors cool.

935
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm not against it, but I can't pretend that I'm

936
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: into it until I even know what it is. In

937
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: your opinion, what's the most entertaining round one grouping of

938
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 1: golfers under the age of thirty for a PGA Tour

939
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: event this season? I would say it would be John

940
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: Rom it would be I mean Camps. I think camp

941
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: Smith's one of the best players in the world and

942
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: he's on live. I would say, if I could pick

943
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: three guys, I would go John Rom, Cam Smith, Colin

944
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: more Coawa. You know, I guess you could say JT.

945
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: But I would pick those three. Okay, last question, Hey,

946
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: John twenty six, been playing consistently for about six years

947
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 1: now and hover around ninety considering going to get driving

948
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: lessons or meeting with the swing coach, given that the

949
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: drive is the weakest part of my game. Have you

950
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: ever gone to a coach or gotten swing looked at

951
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: or just adjusted with your own eyes? When I lived

952
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area used to go to get a lesson.

953
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 1: It was like one hundred bucks. I went there a

954
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: couple times and it helps a lot. And I have

955
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,919
Speaker 1: a couple of good buddies. One guy that played college golf,

956
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: played in the US Open one college golf tournaments, and

957
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 1: his brother who is a great player, Scottie and Tyler,

958
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: and I listened to their takes on golf very very seriously.

959
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: Driving the golf ball, I would say for the majority

960
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: of human beings, whether you're a four handicap or whether

961
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: you're an eighteen handicap, is a huge, huge indicator of success.

962
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: If you're hitting the ball two thirty plus and are

963
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 1: in the fairway, you have a huge advantage of being

964
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: in the trees. So hitting the drive relatively straight and

965
00:48:55,239 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: relatively far is a massive, massive advantage in golf. Like

966
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: the short game, Yeah it's important, but if you just

967
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: hit fairways deep down the middle, you're gonna have a

968
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: chance to break average player break ninety, decent player break

969
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: eighty if you're always in the ship. Golf's a very

970
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: very hard game, whether you're Tiger Woods or whether you're

971
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: me or you. So I would say, if you can

972
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: get a lesson for a relatively not some outrageous price.

973
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: No brainer, absolute no brainer. Because hitting the ball straight

974
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: off the tea is a cheat code. I mean it

975
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: really is. It's like being able to throw go routes

976
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: in football, Like why do the Chiefs dominate for so

977
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,800
Speaker 1: long because they could throw deep to Tyreek with Patrick Mahomes.

978
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: You couldn't do anything about it. Nothing you could do,

979
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely nothing. It's cheat code because you can

980
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: gain such chunk yardage. Well, no different. If you can

981
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 1: hit the ball two hundred and fifty yards and hit

982
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: it straight, it's gonna You're not gonna shoot a hundred.

983
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: You're just not appreciate everyone listening. Fire in those dms

984
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 1: at Golo Pod and let's enjoy the golf this week, Audios,

985
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: that's the door.
