1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff Little Go Lo podcast. Here's the deal. We're

3
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: gonna do a golf podcast today and we will have

4
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: a football podcast a little later in the week, and

5
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: then next week we will get back to our regular

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: schedule program where we'll have a lot more football podcasts

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: as well of golf podcast as the last major of

8
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: the year, and we'll get back to a little rhythm.

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: But still like Tao sitting in this little office here

10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: about right after lunchtime recording a little pod. So we'll

11
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: talk a little golf today. That's gonna be the plan.

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: The Scottish Open is this week, one of the best

13
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: fields in golf that leads into the Open Championship. Watched

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of the John Deere throughout the week,

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: actually it was on the background, but then Sunday because

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: I thought Max Home had a chance to win. And

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: congrats to Brian Campbell who made a lot of money

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: this year with his two wins. Live this this this

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: week is in Spain. Vold Rama John Ram Spanish. Can

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: he get the victory? Who are we looking at to

21
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: play well so we can bet on them? Next week

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: We'll dive into that as well as a little at

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: golo Pod. We'll do a mailback at golo Pod is

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: the golf Instagram. You can fire in those dms and

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: get your questions answered here on the show. Very very

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: easy to do. Other than that, if you listen on

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: Collins Feed, you know to subscribe three and out Feed

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: which also is a golf and yeah, YouTube channel as well.

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: We love a lot of YouTube content coming up, but

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: taken a couple couple of weeks here to take a

31
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: deep breath and take a step back to then pedal

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: of the metal during the fall. But other than that,

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: before we dive in to my friends, my partners, and

34
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: the official ticketing app of this podcast. I actually was

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: taught talking to someone the other day that said they

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: went to a Dodger game and they said it was awesome. Listen,

37
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: you want to go to a game Summer league, you

38
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: want to go to you in Vegas, you want to

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: go to one of these summer league games. Football is

40
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: not very far away. Every week I see like chefter

41
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: post nine more Sundays, and obviously college football starts the

42
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: week before that, so it is going to be here

43
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: before you know it. Thank you, Jesus and other than that.

44
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: Anything you want to go to a concert, a comedy show.

45
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: I think my brother in a couple of weeks is

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: going to a concert. Use game time doesn't get any easier.

47
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: You can search by the venue, you can search by

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: the artists, you can search by the team. It's as

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: easy as a gain. So take the guests work out

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: of buying tickets with game time. Down the game time app,

51
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: create an account and use a Goode John for twenty

52
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: dollars off your first purchase. Terms of play. Again, create

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: an account and redeem the code John for twenty dollars off.

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: Down on the game time APT the day, last minute tickets,

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: lowest price is guaranteed. Okay, big picture, they're going across

56
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: the pond. My buddy that I play all the time

57
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: with in scott Jeff Fong, just went over there to Scotland.

58
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: They were staying at the Old Course and they played

59
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: all around and even though you're freezing and it's wet,

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: he said, it's incredible. I have never met a human

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: being that has taken a golf trip to somewhere over

62
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: in that area Scotland, Ireland. Obviously areas in the UK

63
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: that isn't blown away by the golf. Why because it's

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: so different than what we're used to play. It is

65
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: extremely enjoyable to watch guys be able to play the

66
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: ball on the ground. And I just played golf this

67
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: morning in a mountainee course. Everything's in the air, and

68
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: that's most American golf, right you're hitting the ball, your

69
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: approach shots, two greens are all airborne, and honestly most

70
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: of your chips are airborne. Completely different style of golf.

71
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: And it's the one area, maybe besides like band in dunes,

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: where it can be a driving rainstorm. It can be

73
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: insane wins and it's really enjoy to watch. I said

74
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: at the Open, or excuse me, the US Open, that

75
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: in theory we like difficult courses. And the more I

76
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: thought about it, because I was a little harsh, not

77
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: that I don't appreciate how difficult Oakmont is, it's like,

78
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: do I really want to watch guys struggle to shoot

79
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: four or five over? And my initial reaction that Sunday

80
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: was like, Ah, this kind of sucks. I don't need

81
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: eagles every other hole. I mean, obviously, what Augusta brings

82
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: to the table we're cool with because it's augustin National

83
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: that you can eagle twelve, or you can eagle thirteen,

84
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: you can eagle fifteen, you can birdie seventeen. I mean,

85
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: they're just fireworks down the stretch and you watch Oakmont,

86
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: but as they all said, this is the hardest course

87
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: in the world. This doesn't happen very often, and it's

88
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: what really made me appreciate this tournament. I would say

89
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: one of the most vivid memories non Tigers as a

90
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: child in the nineties was the John Vandervelt meltdown where

91
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: he I mean it felt like he was gonna blow it,

92
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: which he ended up doing. He actually, ironically the way

93
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: we talk about the meltdown, he didn't make the playoffs,

94
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: which is that aggregate four hole playoff in the Open Championship.

95
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: But their courses don't look like anything we play. For

96
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: those of you that have played band in dunes, you

97
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: get out there and you're like, this is such a

98
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: unique experience. I can probably count on one hand how

99
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: many times I played links golf. Most of us are

100
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: just not around it. Every once in a while, an

101
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: area you know throughout America will have a link style

102
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: golf course. But part of what makes this so special

103
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: is completely guarded against. You know, they need the weather

104
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: and luckily over there, the weather is a major major factor,

105
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: and I think these guys really appreciate kind of the difference.

106
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: And that's why this week the Scottish Open at the

107
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: Renaissance Club is just now one. You know, you're not

108
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: just if you're gonna fly over there, you might as

109
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: well fly over there ten days early, let your body

110
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: clock acclimate and then play in this tournament. But I

111
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: mean the last two year. Bob McIntyre won last year,

112
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: which was really big, But two years ago Rory won,

113
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: and remember he hit one of the best shots. I

114
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,559
Speaker 1: think it was on Holy Eighteen on Sunday. He's probably

115
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: ever hitting his career. It was incredible. It might have

116
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: been on Saturday, and I think it was on Sunday.

117
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: And I just looked over the last two years some

118
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: of the names that were even beside Rory winning, that

119
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: were in the top three or four. I mean last

120
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: year it was like Rory was fourth, Ludwig was fourth,

121
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: more CaWO was fourth, and Ludvig kind of fell apart

122
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: last year. On Sunday. Two years ago, Scheffler was tied

123
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: for third. So if you are gonna bet this week.

124
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: I was kind of looking, it's hard to get a

125
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: feel for Rory obviously in a week they're playing at

126
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: essentially his hometown. So it's like, I do think we

127
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: are going to get a more motivated guy that we

128
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: saw kind of over the course of the last two

129
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: months where he admitted, this is not no one's playing,

130
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, psychologists from their couch. He's like, yeah, in't

131
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: been trying that hard. Kind of hard to grind on

132
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: the range. Me and my brother were just talking about it.

133
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: Actually playing golf. It's kind of what makes Scotty so unique.

134
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: Even Ted Scott's like, hey, he doesn't really care about money.

135
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: He made sixty five million dollars on the course last year,

136
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: so I would say with Nike bonuses, he's the number

137
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: one player in the world all those wins. Let's just

138
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: assume Scotty Cheffer made eighty million dollars and Ted Scott's like,

139
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm telling you he does not give a shit, and

140
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: clearly when you just watch him go out and grind

141
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: and play. Now, granted, his resume is smaller than Rory's,

142
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: but Rory kind of admitted I was trying to climb

143
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: out Everest, I climb out Everest and how do I

144
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: get motivated, which, in a weird way is actually relatable.

145
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: Most human beings would be like Rory McElroy if they

146
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: accomplished something they had tried to accomplish the majority of

147
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: their life. I'm sure I'd be guilty of this. I'd

148
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: probably take a deep breath for a couple of years

149
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: or a couple of months at minimum. I think what

150
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: we wanted out of Rory was like, could you be Tiger?

151
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: You know, help Phil still grinded to like fifty five

152
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: years old? Could you be some of the could you

153
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: be Tom Brady? Could you be have that Lebron? How

154
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: hard he works? Now we can question like does he

155
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: mail in sometimes? But ultimately like we were holding him

156
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: to that level and he kind of admitted like I'm

157
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: not really wired that way. I do hope we get

158
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: a guy again won this tournament two years ago, not

159
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: next week, but the Scottish Open, finished top five last

160
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: year and coming into next week where Shane Lowry, his

161
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: childhood friend, won and they got murals I follow Lowry

162
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: on Instagram. They got murals of his face. Obviously, Rory

163
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: famously missed the cut hit it out of bounds. The

164
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: first hole was a complete disaster. I do think we

165
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: will get a good version of him. I don't necessarily

166
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: know this week. The only way to get plus odds

167
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: on him beside to win the tournament. I think he's

168
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: like six odds are subject changed, but I looked a

169
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: little earlier. He's like seven to one would be to

170
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: top five. I don't feel great about it, but I

171
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: do think Marikawa, Hovel, and Fleetwood, you can all get

172
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: plus odds on those guys to top ten this week.

173
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: I think getting momentum coming in. And the other cool

174
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: part about this tournament is JJ Spawn a little bit

175
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: of a random winner, though he's had a really good season,

176
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: but relative to the top dogs plus you know, one

177
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty to one, no one saw that coming,

178
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: including JJ Spawn. But for the most part, and I

179
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: think I've pivoted a little bit the US Open. If

180
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: they're playing at Oakmont or they're playing at Shnnacock, maybe

181
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: a random guy could win the Masters, and the PG

182
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: Championship is kind of established. Rory Bryson, Scottie Zander, the

183
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: Big six seven rom if Mara cow is playing well

184
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: to be in the mixed Ludwig. You're gonna get the big,

185
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: big names all coming down the stretch. The US Open,

186
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: depending on the course, could add some variants. But these

187
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks can definitely add variants because of

188
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: the win, because of the different shots you have to hit,

189
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: because you can play it so many different ways. It's

190
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: what made I thought the John Deer Classic. And for

191
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: anyone who's barbecuing and then you know, if you had

192
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: a whatever a TV wherever you were at, I think

193
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: it's an easy little background noise. Obviously, the field's not great.

194
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: A lot of the names on there, even for me,

195
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 1: I love this shit pretty random. But one thing I

196
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: will say about the John Dear Classic in Iowa, of course,

197
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: looks sweet. That's one of those courses. We left the

198
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: US Open at Oakmont. I would never want to play that.

199
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: I could be in Pittsburgh and someone texts me to

200
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm a member here. You might just have to say yes,

201
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: to say you've played Oakmont. But that would be if

202
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: I never play Oakmont in my entire life. Who cares, right,

203
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like an enjoyable experience. It looks miserable.

204
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm watching that tournament in Iowa, thinking I would play

205
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: that course a lot. That looks like a fun, tough,

206
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: but like fair, enjoyable track. And think about random Brian Campbell.

207
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: I look today, who just won for the second time

208
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: this year. Now, granted, he won the Mexico Open and

209
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: the John dere Classic in his career. In his career

210
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: playing golf, and he's been on and off the tour

211
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: for about a decade, he has made under four million dollars,

212
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: to be precise, three point four to seven six million

213
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: dollars in his entire career playing professional golf on the

214
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: PGA Tour. Now it doesn't count the corn Fairy, but

215
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: his earnings on the PGA Tour in twenty twenty five

216
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: he won three point one seven four I did the math.

217
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Ninety two percent of his PGA Tour earnings have been

218
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: this year. And if you look at his season, it's

219
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: essentially been in two tournaments because he's missed half the cuts.

220
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: He has not been very good. But it shows you

221
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get hot and you're gonna be in

222
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: the mix, if you're a grandom guy like this, like jj'

223
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: spond was gonna play in the PGA Tour for a

224
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: long time. He had finished second in multiple events. This year, hell,

225
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: he went toe to toe with Rory that JJ spond

226
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: had already made fifteen twenty million dollars. Like he was

227
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: in the mix, he wasn't going away. Now. Winning the

228
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: US Open changes the trajectory of his career. Right now

229
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: he's in the majors for a while. Obviously, when you

230
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: win a major, you're always known as a major champion,

231
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: so that puts him in a completely different level. But

232
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: just winning a PGA Tour event changes your life. Winning

233
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: too is a game changer. So Brian Campbell's a good

234
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: example that they were showing his stats during the John Deere.

235
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: He hits it as short and swings as soft as

236
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: like any guy on the PGA Tour. His ball speed

237
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: relative to like guys I was playing with today is

238
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: the same. And this is the pushback always of like, well,

239
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: we got to roll back the ball. We gotta do this,

240
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: like Max Holman. Now, granted Max has not had a

241
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: good season. He has played extremely poorly for the standards

242
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: of a guy that's a President cupper, that's a Ryder cupper,

243
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: a guy that's won a ton on the PGA Tour.

244
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: Tough golf courses. But Max was right there in the

245
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: mix right now. He didn't play well down the stretch,

246
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: miss some putts, got a little squirrely off the tee.

247
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: It was enjoyable to watch Max. For me, like I

248
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: was more dialed into that tournament than I would have

249
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday because of Homa. I don't know, I'm watching

250
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: Lipski and Brian Campbell duel it out while I'm on vacation.

251
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: But we were kind of hanging out of the house

252
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: Sunday went for early morning walk.

253
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: I'll be like, you know what, I'll watch home because

254
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 2: I kind of thought he was gonna win, and watching

255
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: Campbell hit one of the better shots down the stretch

256
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: on that pour five, I think it's whole sixteen incredible seventeen.

257
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: It was an incredible shot and he missed the putt,

258
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: but really cool to watch. And I think sometimes we

259
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: get so caught up with Bryson and Rory and these

260
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: guys that hit three hundred and fifty yards. The name

261
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: of the game isn't just hitting a three and and

262
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: fifty yards. You got to score. You got to get

263
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: the ball into the hole. And clearly, Brian Campbell in

264
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: two moments when he's at an opportunity to win. He's

265
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: won two, he's won twice this year, and they've both

266
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: been in playoffs. So what an incredible experience. And this

267
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: is the peak of his life, which decent chance. Looking

268
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: at his resume, it might be doesn't get any better

269
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: because obviously JJ spawn best case scenario for a somewhat

270
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: random guy. I'm a major champion. The next best thing.

271
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: I won on the PGA Tour twice, not once. Because listen,

272
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: if you ever met a guy you were playing with

273
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,599
Speaker 1: him and he was fifty sixty however years old, and

274
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: he said I won on the PGA Tour, that'd be

275
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: an incredible accomplishment. I don't give a shit, you know,

276
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: beside the majors, you don't ask like, well, what was

277
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: the strength of feel? Now, obviously there are some tournaments

278
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: that are cooler to win than others, like I won

279
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: at Pebble Beach, I want at Tory Pines, I won

280
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: at the Players. But if you just met a guy

281
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, I won twice on the PJ Tour,

282
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: he'd be like, holy shit, this guy can play. So

283
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: congrats to Brian Campbell. The John Dear Classic just an

284
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: easy watch. One of those tournaments where you know, typically

285
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: you'd find a guy like Meva, I'm like shitting on me,

286
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: like that sucks. We're gonna watch it, John Dear Classic.

287
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: I was watching and thinking like, this is a pretty

288
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: good little tournament, pretty good little tournament. And listen, not

289
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: everything on the PGA Tour, which is having a great

290
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: year from a ratings standpoint, needs to be the players.

291
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: He needs to be Pebble Beach needs to be the memorial. Obviously,

292
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: most of those tournaments aren't even the majors. There's a

293
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: different level. We all embrace what these levels are. And

294
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: it's on now. The new Commissioner slash CEO whatever you

295
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: want to consider him, the boss, you know, kind of

296
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: figure out the ebb and flow of this, and I

297
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: would imagine he's gonna have some ideas on how to

298
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: change this. We know he's working hand in hand, you know,

299
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: with Tiger, and he spoke over the last couple of weeks.

300
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: I don't think we talked about it last week, but

301
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: he said what we all kind of know that we're

302
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: no closer to getting reunification. Right. The one thing lives

303
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: big on is this team element, and clearly the Tiger

304
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: and kind of that group does not want to come back.

305
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: And some of the guys. I saw Lucas Glover, who's

306
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, one a ton on tour major champion, said like,

307
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: I don't ever want to play with those guys again,

308
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: and I think you would. He's not alone, he's just

309
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: he has a serious radio show, so he's willing to say.

310
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: You know, some guys believe that, and they're not gonna

311
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: kind of relent off that. Which listen, we all well,

312
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: when you're in a business like golf that is so

313
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: many individuals, your opinions are going to be all over

314
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: the place. Like in football, for example, whenever they have

315
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: the CBA right, who speaks for the players? Well, the

316
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: rich guys right? Why do you think which was the

317
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: right move? But in twenty eleven, one of the biggest

318
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: things they did was put a rookie scale, like we're

319
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: not paying these guys eighty ninety million dollars anymore, giving

320
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: these guys, you know what, Matt Stafford and no Dominkan

321
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: Sue and JaMarcus Russell, those guys getting those contracts in

322
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: the two thousands. Who do you think was the driving

323
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: force to change that? All the veteran players that were

324
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: in charge in twenty eleven, which again, if I was

325
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: in their shoes, the right business move, but like if

326
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have pushed for it, that wouldn't have changed.

327
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: Now there were some, you know, mistakes. We're in the

328
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: golf situation. The only thing they're talking about is like

329
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: the unification because the money's flowing at a crazy amount

330
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: right these the setup now with these elevated events where

331
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: the small percentage of high level guys that the money distribution.

332
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they don't even need to do that. Whatever

333
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: the PIP, which was the dumbest fucking thing ever, Tiger

334
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: barely played news winning it every year. They just tried

335
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: to equal what the live guys were making because as

336
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: we saw last week, Patrick Reid won four million dollars

337
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: or a couple weeks ago, and it's like you got

338
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: to win a major to win four million dollars. And

339
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: that's why they did those elevated events to pay out.

340
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: I think it's like three point seven or three point

341
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: eight and second gets like two point two, So it's

342
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: it's all comes about money. You have some hurt feelings,

343
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: but I've been beating the drum on this none of

344
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: us give a shit, right, none of us care. I

345
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: just want to see the best fields in golf. I

346
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: want to see these guys play together. It's what makes

347
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: Next Week so cool. We get four times a year

348
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: where you can see Rory, you can see Scotty, and

349
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: you can see Bryson and John Rong Like. I want

350
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: to watch those guys more often, and it does feel

351
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: like we're a couple years away from that. All right, folks,

352
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,320

381
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: we take some of you guys questions. Live this week

382
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: is in Valdorama and I was looking. Actually, last last

383
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: year John Rahm for the first time, if I remember correctly,

384
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: it was a little bit of a back back door

385
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: top ten, but it was when he kind of showed

386
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: signs of life. I think he finished seventh last year

387
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: at the Open. John Ram won. Valderama is in Spain.

388
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: He's Spanish, you know, he grew up watching guys play

389
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: at this tournament. I mean there's a legend. Ninety seven

390
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: Ryder Cup Sergio won here last year for the live event.

391
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: This course is sweet and I do think that John Rahm,

392
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: who top ten streak actually broke in Dallas. To me,

393
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: if he shows plays well, which I would expect him

394
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: to do, he's a guy I like a lot next week.

395
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a guy that I plan on hammering

396
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: for top five and top ten. If he's in the

397
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: mix this week and playing well, I don't care enough,

398
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, whether he wins or loses, you know, just

399
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: lose a golf tournament. But like if he finishes fourth

400
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: or seventh, it would mean the same to me. But

401
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: he's a guy that I like a lot going into

402
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: Royal Port Rush. And the other guy is Terrell hadden't Terrell.

403
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: Hadden's a guy. I think both those two guys, if

404
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: they are playing well this week, they are auto hammers

405
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: for me going into the Open to top five and

406
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: top ten. I mean, Hadden's played well this year in

407
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: the majors. Obviously John Ram that as well, had was

408
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: right there in the mix with nine holes to go

409
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: against Scotti at the PGA Championship. To me, Bryson when

410
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: it comes to not as much valderrama, but when they

411
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: get to the Open in a week, that could be

412
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: hard for him because his style is very American driven

413
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: and with the Open, one thing being the scientist like

414
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: one thing that makes John Ram such a special player,

415
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: and I would say the same thing for Hadden is

416
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: they are old school golfers like Terrell Hadton and obviously

417
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: John Rom would have been awesome players in the seventies,

418
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: would have been awesome players in the nineties because they

419
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: just they got all the shots. And even John Rahm,

420
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: like he's like you say, I can't hit a draw,

421
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: he can hit a draw. And I just think they

422
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: can work the ball both ways. Their comfortability playing in

423
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: different styles in different weather that's gonna be a problem

424
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: for Bryson because you can't scientifically hack how hard the

425
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: weather is, the greens aren't as fast. It's all based

426
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: on wind, rain and water. Really fuck him up till

427
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: Bryson is a guy this stretch or I kind of

428
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: stay away. It doesn't mean that if things break his

429
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: way he can't dial in. Wouldn't shock me if he

430
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: plays well at vald Rama, but I think going for

431
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: the Open Championship, you know, I love hammering him and

432
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: I've made a lot of money on Bryson over the

433
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: last two years. But relative to live this week, don't

434
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: hate him to be in the mix. But in terms

435
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: of playing at Royal Port Rush, I struggle with him

436
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: in the Open. I mean historically he's never played that well.

437
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: I just think it's really really difficult for him. Just

438
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: he's got a lot going on right where John Rahm

439
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: could just pick up my set of clubs, go out

440
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: and play anywhere and just be comfortable. Why Because he's

441
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: just he's he's a player, you know, an old school

442
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: player in the sense of like he's much more of

443
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: a field player. I remember watching something at Arizona State

444
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: where they do this drill where you hit to different

445
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: yardages based on feel and the coach would be like

446
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: ninety yards, and then there's no like ninety yards. You

447
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: just have to do it on your own. And that's

448
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: why I think, you know, I wouldn't shock me at

449
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: all if John ram Is wins at Worldport Rush so

450
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: excited to watch these guys. To me, Hatton and Rahm

451
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: are the two guys I'm all over at Beldorama. Okay,

452
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: let's answer some of your questions at golo Pod. At

00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: twenty one years old. I've been golfing for three I've

456
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: been addicted since day one. Feel you, Doug. Last year

457
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: I hit the bullet and spent and spent upwards of

458
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred on my bad completely worth it in

459
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: my opinion. I play every day and can afford it,

460
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: but it's definitely not easy. A lot of fucking money

461
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: and I'm twenty one, that is, I hear you. Here's

462
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: my problem. My dad recently moved across the country to Texas.

463
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: He wants me to fly my clubs when I come

464
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: to see him. I instantly turned that down. Stating I'm

465
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: not risking my clubs like that because they mean a

466
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: lot to me. I've heard countless stories of airlines losing

467
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: or ruining clubs. He looks at it this way. He

468
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: looks at it in the way that I don't want

469
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: a golfer them. He did kind of get me into

470
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: the game, and I can sense some animosity coming from him.

471
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: My view of the situation is I spent a bunch

472
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: of money, worked really hard for my clubs. You would

473
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: know as a golfer you grow a connection almost with

474
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: your clubs. I agree. Two questions based off this information.

475
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: Do you fly with your clubs? If yes, how who

476
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: is the asshole in the situation? Shoot me straight. I

477
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: fly everyone with my clubs. And I don't know how

478
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: much it costs. I don't remember. I don't want to

479
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: say it's like a hundred bucks. But I have like

480
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: a big hard carrying case. They have multiple different carrying cases, right,

481
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: I remember my dad, like twenty years ago, had a

482
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: softer one. I got a hard one that basically is

483
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: like a piece of luggage shape like a golf club,

484
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: and I throw my golf clubs in there and it's

485
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: pretty sturdy. I've flown them to all across the country

486
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: to Hawaii. I flew him here with me to Sacramento.

487
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't hesitate to fly my clubs and have never

488
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: had an issue. And then I also use because the Southwest,

489
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: you get a free bag, but I throw clothes and

490
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: choose and shit in there, so you almost use it

491
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: like a luggage. And I have never had an issue.

492
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: I've never lost club. Now I'm not I'm flying my

493
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: clubs once or twice a year, so I'm not super

494
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: aggressive with flying amount. I think if you see some

495
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: of the clips on like social media, it could really

496
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: scare you. But I would say most people that my

497
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: friends and who I play with have flown their clubs

498
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: all over the place and never had an issue. I

499
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: completely understand. I didn't have twenty five hundred dollars when

500
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: I was twenty one. I would not have had that

501
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: much money. The clubs I played with at twenty one

502
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: were my clubs from when I was like fifteen years

503
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: old that I basically played with until my late twenties

504
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: until I bought a set of clubs, might even have

505
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: been early thirties. I mean I had the same set

506
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: of clubs for like fifteen years, so I completely understand

507
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: you spend a boatload of money. But from my experience,

508
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: I don't speak for everybody. I have never had a

509
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: bad experience flying my clubs, never had them broken. But

510
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: I also I don't want to shoot you. It wasn't outrageous.

511
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean, at most maybe a couple hundred bucks maybe,

512
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: And again I've had this thing now for five six years,

513
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: so maybe with inflation more money. But if you get

514
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: a hard case traveling case for golf clubs, it basically

515
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: stands up straight, you can roll it. It's easy to use.

516
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: I honestly have never had an issue, and if anything,

517
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: it's benefited me because I've been able to put other stuff.

518
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: I've played in Tennessee, I've played in Texas, obviously, if

519
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: I flew into Arizona before I moved there, flying back

520
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: to California, I've flown into Hawaii. I have no issues

521
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: and I don't hesitate flying them. But I totally understand

522
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: where you're coming from. I would say, if you get

523
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: the right case, won't you won't worry about it. Needs

524
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: some coffee. I got up this morning about five thirty.

525
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: We actually played. We're the second group off this morning

526
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: and we played behind MAV mcneely's dad, and I guess

527
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 1: Mav McNeely was out. We played Inclined Village. If you're

528
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: ever up in this part of Tahoe, nice little resort course.

529
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: It's not that long, it's a little tight. But I

530
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: guess Mav, who's I'm sure he's in this Scottish Open,

531
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: was out there a couple days ago, just dominating this

532
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: course for the mailbag. For some reason, the entire rollback

533
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: initiate initiation infuriates me, not because they care how these

534
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: guys are hitting it, but because it feels like the

535
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: PGA and their associated media are calling for the sweeping

536
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: change to a problem that one they created and two

537
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: will have no effect on the actual issue. This is

538
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: a TV broadcast problem, not an issue with the distance

539
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: off the tee. Nobody would have any clue a guy

540
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: is hitting a pitching wedge or an eight iron into

541
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: a green unless the screen told them. It does not matter.

542
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: What we want is variability and uncertainty of the outcomes.

543
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: That's why it's difficult. That's why difficult major setups are appealing,

544
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: not because Rombo hit it three h five or three

545
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: twenty five Secondly, the rollback only hurts the short hitters.

546
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: Those guys would have even longer club in their hand.

547
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: Good luck with your fore iron into every part four.

548
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: It feels like small greens, more tees and strategically placed

549
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: trees would be much better equalizer. Curious on your thoughts, Well,

550
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: if I was playing their role, what are you gonna do?

551
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: Every course they play shrink the greens. That's not the course.

552
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: The greens are the greens. And the thing with trees,

553
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: anyone who's played an older course knows a huge advantage

554
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: they have are their old trees that are tall. Well,

555
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: some of these, like look at Oakmont, there's not a

556
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: tree on the course, so you can't like just add

557
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean, technically you could if you're like Augusta, but

558
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: I do think it gets really expensive. Also, most of

559
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: these courses, I mean, I guess there are some public right,

560
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: Tory Pines is public, TPC Scottsdale's public, the players is public.

561
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: But a lot of these courses Pebble's public. So even

562
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: if they're public, were the majority of the play at tpc' Scottsdale,

563
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: at Tory Pines, at Memorial, at Oakmont out wherever is

564
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: not these guys, it's me, it's you, it's public courses,

565
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: it's whoever at these private courses, at Memorial, at you

566
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: name it, it's the members. Right. So those guys like

567
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: Oakmant's a bad example, that's an outlire. But most of

568
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: these other courses, those courses play to us, not to

569
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: those guys like Maverick McNeely. If you hadn't I shot

570
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: eighty today and I triple bogey, whole seventeen disaster should

571
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: have been much better. But I looked at my brother

572
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: about whole seven or eight. I'm like, Matt McNeely would

573
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: fucking destroy this place? And not because he's just hitting

574
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: super long and where in the mountains, Because like those

575
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: guys are destroying every place. So there aren't many courses

576
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: that you can put a top one hundred PGA tour player,

577
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: let alone the top thirty or forty guys that they're

578
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: not gonna eat alive. And even if it's long, like

579
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: Colin moorek Cowan, Scottie Scheffer, even if they have a

580
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: five or six iron in their hand, at worst they're

581
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: gonna be thirty feet and two butt and some of

582
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: the times it's gonna roll into fifteen ten feet and

583
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna make the putt. So these guys are so good.

584
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: It isn't Jack Nicholas and Lee Trevino and the days

585
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: of guys hitting four iron from one hundred and ninety

586
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: those days are dead. We's got to embrace it. There's

587
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: not much you can do to roll it back, especially

588
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: if it carries into us. Just slid it be. It

589
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: is what it is now. If you tell me, and

590
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: this is what I've always assumed, are they gonna be

591
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: hitting it? Let's say the average distance on tour is

592
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: three oh eight or three ten, Well in fifteen years,

593
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: is that number gonna be three thirty? If you tell

594
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: me that, and then the top guys are hitting it

595
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: three seventy, then yeah, if thirty percent of the PGA

596
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: tours hit at three seventy or three sixty, yeah, we'd

597
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: have a problem. It just would be too easy. Most

598
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: of these courses. I do think we've topped out. I

599
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: do think we've topped out. Could be wrong, and maybe

600
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: maybe that would be their argument. But my take is

601
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it ever actually happens. Like the majority

602
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: of people. I'm a big Deshambo guy. I've been following

603
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: him his entire career from the beginning when he used

604
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,719
Speaker 1: to wear the Ben Hogan hat. My question is for you,

605
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: if you had to bet over under four and a

606
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: half majors he finishes his career with, well, he's got two,

607
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: and obviously watching him the last couple of years, it's hard.

608
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: I would say he's a lock. I would bet my

609
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: life savings he wins another one, you know, unless he

610
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: has a major injury. If he's healthy for the next

611
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: five years, d Chambau is a lock to win another.

612
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: I think winning multiple majors is just difficult, right, And

613
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: when you look at the guys he has to beat,

614
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: assuming role, he keeps trying. Scotty's in the peak of

615
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: his powers. John Rahm is like trying to get back there.

616
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: I would imagine we will have a player or two

617
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: that's young kind of come up. Hovelin's kind of figuring

618
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: it out. You know, Xander has had a weird year

619
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: because he's not healthy, but Xander is still really good.

620
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: That four and a half number, If you told me

621
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: bryceon d Chambeau ends his career with four, believable, I

622
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: would say that four or five. I'd say that's a

623
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: good over under. I'd say that's a good over under.

624
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: I'd say it'd be between four and five. Neither would

625
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: yock me. I think if he ends his career of five,

626
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: it'd be pretty pretty impressive. It's just hard to win

627
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: him because even when you're in the mix, like his

628
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: second major probably shouldn't have gone his way, right, and

629
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: I guess he was right there against Andander in the

630
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,479
Speaker 1: PGA last year. It's kind of chasing him a little bit.

631
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: I guess he's played a lot better at the Masters

632
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. I wonder if you told

633
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: him this, you could have four, but one of them

634
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: will be the Masters. So you have won two US Opens,

635
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: you win the Masters, and the probably win a PGA.

636
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: Or you could have four and you'd be like a Kopka.

637
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: You get three US Opens and two PGAs. What would

638
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: you rather take? I think being a history, I think

639
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: you'd take I'd rather have four in one being the Masters,

640
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: especially after I've already won multiple US Opens. I think

641
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: the thing that will change his life, because it does

642
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: feel like he's gonna win a PGA. It feels like

643
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: the PGA Championship one of these, like he's gonna win it.

644
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: Can he win the Masters? Because if bryceon D Chambeau

645
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: wins the Masters, I think that changes the way because

646
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: he's already a Hall of Famer, won a bunch multiple majors,

647
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: ton of played well in majors. To me, Can'ty win them?

648
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: I think the bigger question on over under majors is

649
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: can't he win the Masters? And I think watching the

650
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: last couple of years, the answer is, yeah, you can't.

651
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: And if I was a betting man, I think his

652
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: Masters would be at point five. I'd probably take the over.

653
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: I think Bryce and d Chambeau eventually wins the Masters.

654
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: Question for the bag. Currently watching the Open from fourteen

655
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 1: on the Golf Channel, strange to watch Rory and Ricky

656
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: paired together over ten years ago. What's even more strange

657
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: is the dramatic change in equipment and outfits Ricky's orange pumadeer.

658
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: It feels like a lifetime ago. My question is this,

659
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: do you foresee the changes coming in professional golf in

660
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: general when it comes to emerging stars, live PGA, new commissioner, equipment,

661
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: and any new brands emerging. As a Travis Matthew snob,

662
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: I'd love to see a more affordable golf apparel brand.

663
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: It's a struggle out there on the streets, Big Travis Matthews. Guy,

664
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: that's a good question. I think inflation hit a lot

665
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: of different areas hard. I would say no areas ith

666
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: ordered golf obviously, golf courses depending on where you live.

667
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: I mean, the shitty fifty dollars courses all doubled, the

668
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars courses all went to two hundred, the

669
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars courses went to four hundred. You know,

670
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: the clothing went up thirty forty to fifty eighty percent.

671
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't think, at least in the foreseeable future. I

672
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: guess a huge recession could happen. But seeing that that

673
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: type stuff's going to come back to earth, I do think,

674
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: and I'd put a longer horizon on this, there will

675
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: be some sort of reunification over the next five years.

676
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: You know. I think people were hoping for it being

677
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: next year a couple of years ago. Clearly not happening.

678
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: Lives not going anywhere. But one thing will be very

679
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: interesting is their contract. Like when Kepka's contract ends, does

680
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: it come back? You know, when DJ's contract ends. As

681
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: you retire, what does Bryson do. He's already openly talked

682
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: about he's in negotiations. I mean, he's their most important guy.

683
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: Ro just signed last year, so he's got a four

684
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: year contract. What happens with some of those older guys,

685
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, Live's gonna have some ope? Is Sergio Poulter

686
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: or Lee West? Are they gonna play till they're Louis

687
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: till they're like fifty five? I don't know, so I

688
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: I would guess. I've said this before what I would do.

689
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 1: And this is the problem because the PJ Tour guys

690
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: don't want to give in. Like if I'm the new commissioner,

691
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, guys, this is about the business model.

692
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 1: I am going to lift every suspension Like Lee West

693
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: with Sergio that doesn't matter tho those days don't even

694
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: want to play. But hey, Bryson, do you want to

695
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: play at Pebble Beach? Do you want to play at

696
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: Torrey Pines? Hey John Rum you live fucking five minutes away?

697
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: Do you want to play the Waste Management which is

698
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: your home tournament, which Ram has talked about is hard

699
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: for him to drive by and Frank Lloyd Wright realize

700
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: that I don't get to play that tournament. You're allowed

701
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: to like open that tournament to the all the Florida guys.

702
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: Do you guys want to play the you guys want

703
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: to play Arnold Palmer? Do you want to play the Honda?

704
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: They'd probably say no, you want to play the players?

705
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: Maybe now even to give the players, but like give

706
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: the option to that. That That's how I would start. Now, Tiger,

707
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 1: who is? I mean, here's the problem. We all answer

708
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: to somebody, right, whether it's in your home or whether

709
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: it's in business. I don't care who you are. Ninety

710
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: nine point ninety nine percent of business owners kind of

711
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: have someone, even if they're not quote unquote above them,

712
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: the person they do business with. It's by far the

713
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: most important that if ever something changed, would dramatically impact it.

714
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: So even though this guy's the CEO slash commissioner, like

715
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna do something that Tiger doesn't want. Every picture

716
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: I've seen with this guy, Tiger's right there. Do you

717
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 1: think Tiger would have vocated it? Like? Tiger's a huge

718
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: driving force to this operation, especially now that his career

719
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: physically is kind of over. So to me, he has

720
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: a huge influence, Like Arthur blank Is. You know, guys

721
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: like that are just looking at the numbers. Tiger kind

722
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: of adds business sense. I mean he's a billionaire, but

723
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: like what we want as players, and he speaks for

724
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: the group of like, yeah, you know, he's making it

725
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: difficult for the unification. Like I don't think he's disagree

726
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: with Lucas Glover. You guys left, so be it. That

727
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: was your choice. We're here, so they would they would

728
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: probably look at me. You recommend lifting the suspensions, double

729
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: middle fingers, No way, that would be what I would do,

730
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: or maybe even this, maybe not a full lift of

731
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: the suspension. Hey, any two events, any two PGA Tour events,

732
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: Any of you guys want to play rom Hattan, Bryson,

733
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: DJ Koepka obviously you know all the young guy Joaquin

734
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: Neeman who's won it Riviera before. You're welcome to play

735
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: if you want to play. If you guys don't have

736
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: a live event going, that's that's so easy. It doesn't

737
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: need to be that difficult. Like everyone's got their money,

738
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: everyone got rich, everyone's rich. Hell, Brian Campbell's made three

739
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: million dollars. Brian fucking Campbell three point one million dollars.

740
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: This year three point one MILLI make it easier, That's

741
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: what I would do. My guess is, though that's not

742
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Did you say recently on a pod that

743
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: you used Turo on a trip any issues? I've used

744
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: it multiple times. There's no free ads, but it's basically

745
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: just instead of a rental car, it's you rent the

746
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: car through someone else and you can pick whatever car

747
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: you want, and it's better deal sometimes than Hertseramus. And

748
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: you get off the plane and you walk to Typically

749
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: sometimes they drop it off right in front of you.

750
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes you pick it up the parking lot. I've used

751
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: it in before in Arizona when I wasn't living there.

752
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: I've used in Nashville. I've used it in Reno. Also

753
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: to the guy that asked me about the clubs I flew.

754
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: My club was a month ago to Reno with me,

755
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: and I played here with my brother in law, Matt.

756
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: So Turo's been I know a lot of people that

757
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: use it. Doesn't get any easier. Okay, last question greetings

758
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: from Dallas. Although he never do it, do you think

759
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: Tiger would be able to contend if he agreed to

760
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: ride into carts? Specifically, majors. I asked this because you

761
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: always hear other pro state that he can still hit

762
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: all the shots. I would say, no, one, he's not

763
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: playing enough so his game it's impossible to be dialed

764
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: at fifty years old, at the level in which he

765
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: has to compete when he's not able to practice. Obviously

766
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: now that he tours Achilles, but even before he tore

767
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: his achilles, I do think the shattering of the ankle

768
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: when he flipped the Genesis end of his career. Obviously

769
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: he played after that, but I mean before that injury,

770
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: I would say one hundred percent Tiger was gonna win again.

771
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he had won the Masters in nineteen, he

772
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: had almost won the British Open in twenty eighteen, he

773
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: had won the Tour Championship in twenty eighteen. He had

774
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: gone toe to toe with Brooks in twenty eighteen at

775
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: the PGA Championship. Like he was. He was a Tiger

776
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: Woods of two thousand two or two thousand and six

777
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 1: or nineteen ninety eight. But he was fucking good. And

778
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: I think that injury derailed the next five years. Now,

779
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: maybe by this time he physically wouldn't have been the same,

780
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,479
Speaker 1: you know, maybe other injuries. But I do think twenty twenty,

781
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two Tiger Woods one hundred

782
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: percent would have won again regular event, potentially another major,

783
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: potentially maybe two majors, because how smart he was, because

784
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: how good he was. I think he still has all

785
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: the shots that he's on the range again before he

786
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: tore his achilles. But I don't think even with a

787
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: cart I just don't think so. He just not as crisp.

788
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: And I think if you were having a cocktail with him,

789
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: even as prideful as he is, he would admit that,

790
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: which is sad. I mean, it's really sad. And mean,

791
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: the guys lived about fifty lives. So I'm just glad

792
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: that we got to witness twenty nineteen, and then sadly

793
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: it ended on that was it rainy day? I don't

794
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: even know if it was a rainy day, but I

795
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: doubt it was rain I don't think it was. It

796
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: was just that hill, you know, in early it was

797
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: January or February of twenty twenty. It's never been the

798
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: same and it never will be the same. And that's

799
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 1: why I think he's in a weird way, unofficially kind

800
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: of retired at this point, so yeah, we'll have a

801
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: podcast out later this week and enjoy enjoy the Summer

802
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: talk sooner, so the volume
