Speaker 1: will not be in attendance. I actually just watched Tiger

15
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: at the podium have some takes which I think him

16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: and Phil inter, you know, intersect a lot, because Tiger

17
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: was just asked about him. Tiger obviously playing in this uh.

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: Ricky Fowler was asked about joining the Live Saddi League

19
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: and gave an answer of like, yeah, I might do it.

20
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: I gotta take their um my picks for this week. Uh,

21
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: justin Thomas and just some other bets that I'll be making.

22
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: We obviously talked to Jason Sobel who is there Sobel was.

23
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: I talked to him Tuesday morning. He does his radio

24
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: show all week from the practice range, so it's he's

25
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: uh pretty dialed in. Um I would I disagree with

26
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: a couple of his picks, but um I do like

27
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: his His main guy, Jordan Spieth, who was on a

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: Jordan is on George is playing well. Jordan's this God,

29
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: I freaking love majors. You guys want to get into

30
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: the mailbag, I separate the football mail bag from the

Speaker 1: golf mail bag. At Golo Pod. At Golo Pod is

Speaker 1: golf question or just any question. But uh that we

35
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: do golf here and appreciate everyone for listening. If you

36
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: like the podcast, you got other friends that you play

37
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: golf with, tell them about it because we love golf

38
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: here a lot. I'ven't played a little while, even though

39
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: I was just in Scottsdale. Every golf course I drove by.

40
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: Just I kind of stared and uh and dreamed about

41
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: hitting golf shots. Now, not totally because it was like

42
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: a hundred eight degrees, but it was green. I I

43
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: like playing golf in the heat, I I said, forever,

44
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: like baseball. Golf made for the sun. I I don't

45
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: like October baseball when it's twenty degrees and guys were

46
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: in long sleeves. I don't really I like the Open Championship,

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: but I don't love Wendy cold golf. Went to Bannon

48
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: Dunes one time in the afternoon. Was a little cold

49
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: for me. I like a nice collared shirt shorts. That's

50
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: how I like playing my golf. I like sweating and uh.

51
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: I think golf's made for the sun, and it's supposed

52
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: to actually not be. The weather is not going to

53
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: be that great this week relative to the last time

54
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: they played here, when Tiger one and oh seven. Uh,

55
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: when it's as Sobel told us, I think last week

56
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: or two weeks ago that it was the coldest tournament

57
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: he's ever been to. But I think the best part

58
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: about major's and really hard majors, and I'm a sucker

59
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: a major at an old school country club. I love

60
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: the US Open at Pebble Beach, an Olympic Club, that

61
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: there's a purity to it because of how hard it is.

62
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: The history, the legacy, and ultimately the difficulty of the

63
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: golf separates the men from the boys. On that given week,

64
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: who's playing the best the fairways tech you tend to

65
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 1: be the tightest. Obviously. US Open conditions are a little

66
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: bit different than PGA conditions and this week, which I

67
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: think is by far the most interesting style of high

68
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: level golf. When you shave around the green, because there

69
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: are two ways to attack it, when you raise the

70
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: rough to outrageous lengths around the green. So yeah, if

71
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: I missed the green, I gotta take a lob wedge

72
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: and chunk it onto the green and hopefully I get

73
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 1: it close as possible. But literally everyone's hitting the same shot.

74
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: You're just kind of hacking it out of there. Where

75
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: when you shave it and you get runoffs, you have

76
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: guys can bump and run, guys can hit flop shots,

77
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: Guys have just different angles of attack, and you can

78
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: penalize and listen, guys are gonna get mad this week

79
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: if it's playing really hard, feeling like there's an element

80
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: of luck involved, Well, welcome to golf. You know, that's

81
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: that's sports. There's an element of luck to golf, like, yeah,

82
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 1: you might hit the perfect shot off by two yards

83
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: and roll off and that might cost you the tournament

84
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Tough shit. It's from an entertainment standpoint, and

85
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: that's all I care about. I enjoy blood best. Like

86
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: two weeks ago when Max Homo one in d C

87
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: that was to me one of the most entertaining tournaments

88
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: of the This the difficulty of it, and I every

89
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: single shot I watched, I went, I would want no

90
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: part of playing right now, And I think that's the

91
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: best part of majors. Like last week in Texas, every

92
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: and have it on my hotel room when I was

93
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: out and about checking in on the scores. These guys

94
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: are going so low when they're doing that, it's a god.

95
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: I want to get out to the golf course. I

96
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: want to hit three yard drives. I want to throw

97
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: darts at pins and try to make birdies. But when

98
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: you watch a major, you go, besides, the Masters is unique,

99
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: but the US Open a tough last year Kiowa, you go, yeah,

100
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: I want no part of playing this golf tournament. I'd

101
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: want no part of doing this, and that, to me

102
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: is what makes a major because it's the best of

103
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: the best, separates the men from the boys. It separates

104
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: the champions from just the other rich guys that are

105
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: in the top twenty. I said it earlier this week

106
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: on three and Out about the best part about the

107
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: playoffs in you know, in basketball, football, and baseball. That's

108
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: what we do it all four. It's what we root

109
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: for as a fan because it separates, you know, Chris

110
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: Paul from Steph Curry. There's a reason Steph Curry is

111
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: an all time great champion and he might get number

112
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: four this year and Chris is gonna end his career

113
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: with zero. There's a reason James Harden's an all time

114
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: great score who fails in the playoffs every single time.

115
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: And then there are guys like Janice who are champions

116
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: and it's no different at the major's. It's why we

117
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: revere Tiger Woods. It's why we rooted so long for

118
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson to get over the hump and when he

119
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: finally won a major. It's why we put guys like

120
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: Rory and Jordan's speak on a pedestal because they won

121
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: Major so early because we know the difficulty of it.

122
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: It's why Kepta say what you want about his practice, habits,

123
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: his injuries, whatever. He won four majors, four like you

124
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: just you gotta tip your hat. It's why ultimately Greg

125
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: Norman separate from the live right third leg, Greg is

126
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: he's an underachiever because he only won two. Yet if

127
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: you watch that thirty for thirty and then he started

128
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: googling him, you're like, he finished second all these times,

129
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: all these guys that finished second. You know, in the

130
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: top ten, there's a list of ten guys who finished

131
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: second the most of majors, right, It's like Jack and Phil,

132
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean every single one of them. I think Ben

133
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: Ogan was one of them. They all have like six seven,

134
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: eight plus Tom Watson. Yet Norman is in that class.

135
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: Yet he won the least. And it's telling because major's,

136
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: let's face it, the pressure. Uh, it feels different. It's

137
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: no different than the playoffs in basketball or football. As

138
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: they say in the SEC, it just means more. And

139
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: I think Tiger hit on it today when he was

140
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: asked about Phil. And I wouldn't say Tiger crushed Phil,

141
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: but he definitely made his stance pretty I thought he

142
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: was pretty candid about where he stood and basically said,

143
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: and I think this differentiates Tiger from Phil, and I

144
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: think I would put Tiger in the category of Michael

145
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady. They never, for one second played for

146
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: the cash. They played to be champions, they played to

147
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: be legends. They played to win. That consumed them. The

148
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: only thing that they thought about seven three sixty five

149
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: was winning. And then when you win and accomplished that,

150
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: like they did out through Kobe in this too, the

151
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: money follows and you print cash. And Tiger basically alluded like, listen,

152
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: guys like me and Phil have made an unlimited amount

153
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: of money out here, but I never came out here

154
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: for the cash. And ultimately he didn't say this, but

155
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: I'll say it for him. Because of me, the cash

156
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: on the PGA tour skyrocketed, and Phil's wealth is directly

157
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: tied to Tiger because if Tiger Woods had never been

158
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: born by Earl and I don't want to butcher his

159
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: mom's name, but if they had never had Eldrick Tiger Woods,

160
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour wouldn't be I don't even know how

161
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: much the weekly purse would be. It would be nowhere

162
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: near where it's at now too. Tiger has brought probably

163
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: fifty sixty sev of the wealth to where the tours

164
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: at today. And Tiger basically said, I didn't even come

165
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: out here for the money. I came out here to win.

166
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: I came out here for the legacy. I came out

167
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: here to be a Jack Nicholas an Arnold Palmer, to

168
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: be a fucking legend. Clearly, Phil is much more obsessed

169
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: with the money and the cash flow. And when we

170
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: did the match who Tiger, Let's face it, the Tiger

171
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: film match, the one on Thanksgiving whatever three or four

172
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: years ago, Tiger was the big draw and filling it up,

173
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: winning the nine million dollars or fifteen or whatever the

174
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: number was. But Phil got so consumed with like, well

175
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: we had to pay the PJ, Phil, what you didn't

176
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: have to come out of pocket T and T or

177
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: Turner or whoever did. But Phil is so consumed with

178
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: the money. And listen, I'll say it all the time.

179
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm as pro business and pro money as anyone that

180
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: you will meet in the space. But I also think

181
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: there's a balance to it all, right, Like what what ultimately, Phil?

182
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: You keep playing? Well he did last year you Kiowa,

183
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna be a Ryder Cup captain. The money's gonna

184
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: keep flowing. You're winning the pip like money shouldn't be

185
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: an issue. So if you really want to just sell out,

186
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: to go to the Saudis and ruin your entire legacy,

187
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: which is ultimately what you want to do. I appreciate

188
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: Tiger saying, yeah, he can get fucked because I don't care.

189
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: Not only do we disagree on this, I'm not going

190
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: to even take the time or the effort to reach

191
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: out to him, because ultimately, Phil is coming at their business,

192
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: and that's Tiger's business. It's why when Rory crushes him,

193
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: It's why when Justin Thomas crushes him. That's why when

194
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: John Ram he's coming after their pocketbooks and he's trying

195
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: to act like the betterment of the game, but it's bullshit.

196
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: He's trying to ruin the PGA tour. And listen, I understand,

197
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: and even Tiger said, like I disagree with a lot

198
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: of things on the PGA tour. Nothing is perfect though,

199
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: and the benefits it brings to us, all led by me,

200
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: has been much more positive than negative. And Phil sometimes

201
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: in life and listen, I'm a huge believer. Put all

202
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: your chips in the middle of the table. Put them all.

203
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: As Bruce Arians would say, no risk it for the biscuit.

204
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: I believe in leading life like that. But sometimes when

205
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: you do it, and if you make a poor decision

206
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: on the risk, you will get burned and you will lose.

207
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: And Phil has lost this one. It is a disaster

208
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: because the best player in the history of the game

209
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: is now talking ship basically the three lead dogs on

210
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. Jordan has been less outspoken, but like

211
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: j t Rom and Rory have clearly crushed him. And

212
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: then some of the younger guys like Colin Morikawa want

213
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: no part of it. It's dying on the vine. And

214
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: then a guy like Ricky Fowler, who I do appreciate

215
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: his answer and honestly, to me, live is made for

216
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: a guy like him. His PGA tour success and listen,

217
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure Ricky is a everyone raves about the human being.

218
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: He's had a fantastic career, but his career making money

219
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: as one of the most marketable superstars post Tiger in

220
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: the last decade plus for a guy who has not

221
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: accomplished anywhere near of what Rory, what Jordan and some

222
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: of these other guys. Hell, even DJ. He's won like

223
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: five times and he's made I would guess eighty a

224
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars off the course, never been a major champion.

225
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: His biggest win is the Is the Players, which was

226
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: an impressive win. But let's not act like Ricky is

227
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: some super accomplished golfer relative to his wealth. Now. He

228
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: finished high, and you get credit in golf just because

229
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: you're not winning. If you're getting top fives and top ten,

230
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna rack up a lot of money, and he did.

231
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: But his career is not just trending poorly, it's sinking

232
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: like a ship right now. He is not going to

233
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: be able to compete moving forward on the PGA Tour,

234
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: in my opinion, at that level in which he did

235
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: for a long period of time and had a lot

236
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: of success. So it sounded like I was diminishing. I

237
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: think Ricky was a really, really good player. He just

238
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: didn't win, and that's ultimately what we kind of judge

239
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: you on at the level in which of his fame.

240
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: But I give you credit for being a good salesman,

241
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: for being a good guy, which he was, and part

242
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: laying that into a lot of money, and when he's asked,

243
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: basically what he said was like, I haven't decided one

244
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: way or the other. And I think clearly early on

245
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: in the Saudi stuff, he was one of the guys rumored,

246
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: like with Phil As and Bryson as the super famous

247
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: guys to basically give a lot of money. And I

248
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: think people think that phil has been given fifty eighty

249
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: however million dollars by the Saudis. There's a chance we

250
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: never see Philip Michelson again on the PGA Tour. Maybe

251
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: he plays a Masters moving forward. But if you told

252
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: me that Phil Mickelson never plays another PGA Tour event,

253
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: I would believe you. If you tell me he never

254
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: plays the US Open again, I would believe you. If

255
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: you tell me he never plays the PGA Championship Game,

256
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: I would believe you. The Masters a little harder to believe,

257
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: but who knows, maybe they boot him for a while.

258
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: To me, Ricky, like Ricky's not getting into these Like

259
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: Ricky barely got into this major. Ricky is not into

260
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: the US Open right now. Pretty sure Ricky did not

261
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: play the Masters. Ricky's career is in major jeopardy. Especially

262
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: when you factor in like a guy I gamble on

263
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: a lot and this guy's gonna win and I'm gonna

264
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: get him at great odds. Is Davis Riley young kid

265
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: Alabama all the there's like three Davis Riley's every year,

266
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: and they're immediately better than Ricky and Ricky's. No dummy

267
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: sees these the talent coming on the tour year in

268
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: year out. Well, it's like football, Like every year there's

269
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: a draft. So if I'm an offensive lineman, like I

270
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: have my time to make my money and start, but

271
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: eventually They're gonna draft my replacement, and eventually I'm not

272
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: gonna be good enough. And eventually that replacement, that guy

273
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be a third round pick. He's gonna make

274
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: a lot more money, and I'm gonna get cut or

275
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: they're not gonna resign me in free agency. And that

276
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: to me is kind of where Ricky's at. I don't

277
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: blame him at all. Go for going to the Saddy League. Now,

278
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: you could argue, and this is what Tiger would say.

279
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: Rick you spent the last decade creating this legacy on

280
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: the PGA tour as being one of the faces of

281
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: the sport. People love you, you're revered and you can

282
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: make money despite not being a major champion for a

283
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: long period of time. I've said forever, I think that

284
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: if Phil doesn't want to do it now, I don't

285
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: think it's an option. Ricky could be the next foal,

286
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: though he could be in a booth like with Jim

287
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: nance Young and like thirty five kind of transition like

288
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Tony Romo. Now, I don't know if he necessarily want

289
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: to do that, because, like I said, he's got a

290
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: lot of money, but you don't think CBS would pay

291
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: him twelve fifteen million dollars. He ain't making that anymore

292
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: playing golf, So does he want to throw that away?

293
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: And I think, listen, I think Ricky gave a very

294
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: fair answer. He's contemplating it and we'll see. But to me,

295
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: the live was made for him. I even think the

296
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: Live was made for Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, some of

297
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: the older guys. But if you're one of the big guns,

298
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: the amount of money you're making, how good life is,

299
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense. And that's where Tiger goes. We

300
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: print money out here, and that's why one of the

301
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: young guns, like the guy I like this Weekend and listen.

302
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: I I tweeted it. I was flying home from Scottsdale. God,

303
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: I just love that place, and I said, I'm gonna

304
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: bet j T the next three majors. I'm not a wizard.

305
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: I can't see the future. If I could, I would

306
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: make a lot more money gambling. I think he's gonna

307
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: win one of these next three majors, but I don't

308
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: know which one. But I believe to my core I

309
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: haven't had a stronger belief as a golf better in

310
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas winning one of the next three majors. So

311
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet him every major, this one, the the

312
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: country Club, and the Open Championship. I actually feel the

313
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: strongest about the Open Championship. Shotmaker's course at the winds Pumping.

314
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: I think he's born in Bradford, but I like his

315
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: chances this week. He's the only guy I'm taking in

316
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: that kind of teen's range. At sixteen to one, I

317
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: think you're gonna really start seeing the benefits of bones

318
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: on his bag. Um and I just think we all

319
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: talked about it's been so long since he's won. I

320
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: just think his times now, Um and I I feel very,

321
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: very confident that he's gonna play well. And I talked

322
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: to Sobol about it here in a little bit about

323
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: his floor being really high. I I just I couldn't

324
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: be any more of a fan of his this week

325
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: in terms of a gambler, I like as as a buddy.

326
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: Text me my guy, Scottie Rayber, text me this quote

327
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: for Victor Hovelin. And because tuls Oklahoma, Oklahoma State's not

328
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: very far away, Victor Hovland has played this course a lot,

329
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: and just a couple of years ago, Colin Morrikawa TPC

330
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: Harding had played that course a lot. Now, the way

331
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: they did it that week was grow out the rough.

332
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: The way they're doing it this week is it's gonna

333
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: might get into a chipping contest, which makes me a

334
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: little nervous. But like, what has Victor been doing the

335
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Maybe he's just been chipping, like

336
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: you would think. If I was Victor Hovelin, I would

337
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: just spend all my time and listen. I'd say that,

338
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: but it's chipping is pretty boring. But I would just

339
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: go out to my practice facility. I think he still

340
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: lives in Oklahoma and they have an incredible practic facility

341
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: and just chip, chip, chip, chip and chip. But Victor

342
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: has the talent if he can just figure out the chipping,

343
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: but it is an issue. Another guy that I really like.

344
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: If it's gonna be a second shot golf course and

345
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: hitting your irons is paramount for having success, I'm gonna

346
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: ride to Decki because I think he's easily one of

347
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: the best iron players on tour. Uh and he's just

348
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: he's playing at a high level. I mean, he easily

349
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: could have won last week even though it was an

350
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: easier course. The question on him was not his game.

351
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: His game had been really high. It was injuries and

352
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: if he's healthy. I like Hadeki, especially if I get

353
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: him at a number thirty thirty five to one. Now,

354
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: I think Adeki like Max Homa are pretty good top five,

355
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: top ten, like Bets because Max Holma, if you tell

356
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: me this course. They asked Tiger today. I think his

357
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: winning score in OH seven was either minus seven or

358
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: minus eight, and they asked him if you know the

359
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: course gonna play a little bit easier, but what his

360
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: number was, and you know, Tiger, I would say, gave

361
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: a kind of a cliche answer. It's hard to tell

362
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: the wind, you know, it's there's some unknowns at you

363
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: know how firm the golf course gets. But it's not

364
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: gonna be eighteen, probably be closer to somewhere ten to twelve.

365
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: So to me, if it's gonna be like that Max Homa,

366
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: who we've seen just two weeks ago or three weeks

367
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: ago when they played in DC that looked like a

368
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: major championship and he was awesome in it. Where did

369
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: he win last year? Rivieria? What plays really hard Rivieria.

370
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: Same thing with Keegan Bradley, who would be the one

371
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: long shot, and obviously he's won the PGA Championship before.

372
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: But think of where Keegan Bradley played well this year.

373
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: He finished second at the Players Championship. That thing was

374
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: a blood bath. And then two weeks ago he was

375
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: the guy playing with Max Homa. So I I have

376
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: to take a guy if I'm gonna take one of

377
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: the non Mark Howa's, Hovelin's ROMs, Scottie Scheffler's. Those type

378
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: guys is people that can play well at tough golf courses.

379
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: It's like what translates in football defense good coaching. It's

380
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: why the same teams typically have success in the playoffs.

381
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: And a good quarterback. Like in these major championships, you

382
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: have to be able to handle tough conditions. If you

383
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: can't handle tough conditions, the Masters is kind of unique.

384
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: You can be a Masters player, but these other courses,

385
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 1: like it gets very very difficult. So when you can

386
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: handle tough conditions, it's why Gary Woodland I bet on him.

387
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's some of the harder courses. I literally watched

388
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: him win at Pebble Beach under very very tough conditions,

389
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: beat out Kepka. It's my my question with Kepka's health.

390
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: If kelthy, if Keptica is not healthy, I struggle. But

391
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: when I start seeing his odds creep up to forty

392
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: two one. I watched some of his press conference today

393
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: after he got locked out of his car. He felt,

394
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, kind of his cocky swag self, and he

395
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: gave a pretty interesting nugget And I think sometimes, listen,

396
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: we all can lose our confidence in different walks of life,

397
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: whether it's professionally, whether it's personally, and you have to

398
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: find a way to get it back, and we all

399
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: take different avenues to do that. Right. Sometimes there's self reflection,

400
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's losing weight. Sometimes it's I don't know, getting

401
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: a new job at whatever, dumping your girlfriend. But I

402
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: think what Keptca said today is he went back to

403
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: YouTube and watched some of his previous major wins and

404
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: when he had success in majors and just looked at

405
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: his body language, his posture, his alignment, and he's like,

406
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: I took some things away, and sometimes you just need

407
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: things to trigger the brain. Because I know this. When

408
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: it gets fucking I and the course is hard as

409
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: shit and it's just everyone starts crumbling, that's when Brooks thrives. Now,

410
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if that means he's gonna win it,

411
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: but even last year, who was playing with Phil on

412
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: Sunday Brooks Kepta, you know, So it's just I I

413
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: have more faith in him on a weekend, week out

414
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: basis when it comes to majors than even like DJ

415
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: and Rom. Now, if you told me who's more likely,

416
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: Like if I had to bet a thousand dollars on

417
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: Rom or Kepta, I would put it on Rom, but

418
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: like I would not be surprised. Also, if John Rom's

419
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: not really in it, right, it's weird. I mean I

420
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: do believe John ROMs were the better players I've ever

421
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: seen over the last like three years his game. But

422
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: like I I've kind of go back and forth whether

423
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm confident that he's gonna win, like I've seen kept

424
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: a time and time and time and time again not

425
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: only win these tournaments, but even when he loses, he's

426
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: right there who finished second when Tiger wonks. You know,

427
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: it's just it's just it's hard to bet against the guy,

428
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: it really is. Step up to the tea and take

438
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: love this week PGA Championship Justin Thomas Haddeki, Matsiama and Maxhoma.

439
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: I would bet place a bet on all three guys.

440
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: One of those three guys to win and even Max

441
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: Holma maybe a little juice too on a top five,

442
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: But I think that Justin Thomas wins this, and I

443
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: think Hardecki has a very very good chance as well.

467
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: second major of the year, and you know, I think

468
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: on the rankings this would probably be the fourth, but

469
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: this one feels maybe it's the venue, you know, like

470
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: a bigger p G A championship for sure, not Tiger's back,

471
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: and that adds a little juice filled no show, a

472
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: little weird uh here with Jason's Sobel series x M.

473
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: You can find him this week from the range of

474
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: the PGA Championship. Uh, Sobel, what is going on? Man?

475
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: How you doing? Yeah? What's up? John? Not a bad

476
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: spot to be for the first at least three days

477
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: of this tournament week, just hanging out in the range, um,

478
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, at Southern Hills, just watching guys hit balls.

479
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: I can tell you. On Monday, I was sitting out

480
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: there until six pm, six thirty pm local time, and

481
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: they were still like, guys beaten balls. Are probably a

482
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: dozen guys two dozen guys in the ring beaten balls

483
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: late on a Monday afternoon. That not normal. It's a

484
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: little more than usual, I think, But again, you never know.

485
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just kind of it's one of those

486
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: where like it feels like there's a lot of people there,

487
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: but maybe some of those guys have just gotten into town.

488
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: At four o'clock game over the course, I'm like, hey,

489
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: let's get an hour's worth of practicing the bet. That

490
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: felt a little egregious for a Monday afternoon of a

491
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: major championship week. Well, you've been to a million of

492
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: these majors over the years. What was the buzz like

493
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: on the course, of course is pure with about seven

494
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: years right now, players love it. It seems like this

495
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: is going to be one of those weeks where and

496
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: we say this, you know, this is essentially the test

497
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: of every good major championship, and we say it for

498
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: just about every major championship. It's a long golf course.

499
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: You have to be long. My assertion is that essentially

500
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: every player out there is long enough. I mean, you

501
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: don't have to be camera and champ out there. You

502
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: just have to be long enough. And quite frankly, if

503
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: you're not long enough, you're not in this event this

504
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: week because you're not playing at the level. So, uh,

505
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: you know, you look at guys. He here's a great

506
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: little piece of trivia for you. Dustin Johnson. We know

507
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: he's a really long hitter. The averages three O nine

508
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: point five off the tea this season. Yeah, okay, it's

509
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: a long way. Jordan's speech eyes. You know, he's not

510
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: that a big you know guy, He's more creative, he's

511
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't slap you. Average is two yards less off

512
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: the tea than Dustin Johnson. So let's not get into

513
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: these you know, like, oh, well he's long and he's

514
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: not two yards. I don't think it's gonna make a

515
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: huge difference. Tony Finale, big dude, looks like you should

516
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: been tight end on your fantasy team. Tony Finale averages

517
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: the same off the tea as Robert Strepp. It's just

518
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: not a big deal the length. So in any case, yes,

519
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: it's long and it's gonna play long this week. Ball

520
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: striking always important, and then the shipping areas they've shaped

521
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: down all the shipping areas, no rough around the greens anymore,

522
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: and so that's gonna play a major factor as well.

523
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: Do you think you could argue that that adds an

524
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: element to make a golf course tougher than just the

525
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: crazy rough around it, because then you're just kind of

526
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: up out with wedges on that if you're just a

527
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: little off the runoff, it can dramatically change you. I mean,

528
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: the rough does stop your ball, even if they do

529
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: grow it out knee length right uh around the green.

530
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: I personally like watching the runoffs more than the long rough. Yeah,

531
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: I think most of us do. And you're gonna see

532
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: a lot of these shots where if a guy doesn't

533
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: hit it perfectly, and maybe if he tries to get

534
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: too aggressive and go to tuck pin and the ball

535
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: doesn't stay at the green, and you go, oh, well,

536
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: that was a good shot, and then all of a

537
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: sudden the ball trickles off and it keeps trickling and

538
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: keeps trickling, and all of a sudden go, oh my gosh,

539
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: that was a pretty good shot. But he missed his

540
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: target by about three yards and all of a sudden,

541
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: he's got a twenty five yard chip back up the

542
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: hill and he's got to get it up and down

543
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: just to say a bar, whereas you know, it looks

544
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: like he might have a birdie opportunity. So we're gonna

545
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: see a lot of that this week. You've got to

546
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: be really precise with your irons, and again this everything

547
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: goes in concert with each other where you've got to

548
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: be precise with your irons because if you are, then

549
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: you're not gonna hit it down in those chipping areas

550
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: where you're gonna have to get up and down. But

551
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: if you're not precise, you're gonna have to be better

552
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: with the wedges around the grinds. Well, the big story,

553
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: I guess it happened over the weekend, But yesterday watching

554
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: Golf Channel, I'm sure you guys were talking about it

555
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: was Phil Mickelson, the defending champion, and you and I

556
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: have been talking about him for a long time, right

557
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: leading up to the Masters, but then this one felt

558
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: differently because again he won the tournament last year. What

559
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: was just the mood out there, just you talking to

560
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: people over the last since the announcement A little weird

561
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: that Phil said nothing, had the had the tournament? Do it?

562
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: Did that strike you anything? Red flag go off there? Yeah?

563
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with philm I wish

564
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: I could tell you something that I don't think the

565
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: players are really talking about him, at least not publicly.

566
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean probably behind closed doors. They're essentially saying the

567
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: same thing as us, which like, when are we gonna

568
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: see him? Where are we gonna see him? What's the

569
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: next step? I don't know where he is or what

570
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna do. And yet it feels very very strange.

571
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: And it's not like you know, the PGA of America

572
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: or the media or anybody else's can sold Philip Michelson.

573
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: According to everything we've seen, Phil was eligible, was qualified,

574
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: was invited to come play this event, and Phil told

575
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: them he would not be here this week. And so, uh,

576
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: that's of his own accord. Happened to think there's probably

577
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: some other stuff going on to Phil right now besides

578
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: just the live golf stuff that's keeping him from playing golf.

579
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: But Johnny look at it this way. If he didn't

580
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: play the Masters, which means the world to him, and

581
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 1: he's not coming back to the PGA Championship, which you

582
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: know he would have loved you. He would have loved

583
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: to send a press conference this week and go, well,

584
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: whatever happens, I still got this trophy from last year

585
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: doing that for months afterwards. If he doesn't playing these two,

586
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he goes to plays the US Open

587
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: next month. Maybe he blazed the Open Championship at St. Andrews.

588
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: But boy, there's sort of been descending order of importance

589
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: and relevance for Phil Michoelson. So if we haven't seen

590
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: him at the first two, I don't know if you

591
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: see him in the next two, and I don't know

592
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: if you see him the live golf event in a

593
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: few weeks in London, or if we just don't see

594
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: him for a long time, well, I think the Masters.

595
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: And speaking of another Phil contemporaries, Tiger was it was

596
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: such a good story and regardless what happened, it was

597
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: just cool to have him back and he makes an

598
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: event way bigger. This one feels a little more normal.

599
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: It's just like Tiger's back playing again. From a golfing standpoint,

600
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the greatest iron player of all time,

601
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: but this Tiger is a little different than the majority

602
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: of Tiger's career. What chances do you give him making

603
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: the cut? How does the golf course? Obviously he's one

604
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: here before, but in his current state, Like, do you

605
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: think it's an uphill battle for him to make the cut. No,

606
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: I think he'll make the cut. I expect him to

607
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: play well. Look, you made the cut of the Masters.

608
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: I know he didn't have a great weekend, but he's

609
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: only healthier and stronger, and the swing is better than

610
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: it was six weeks ago, and so I expect him

611
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: to play better. I just finished up my ranking of

612
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: the top fifty contenders for this week, and I think

613
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: I've got Tiger somewhere around ninth in that ranking. So

614
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: it's not like I've got him knocking on the door

615
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: for a victory this week. But I don't have him

616
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: missing the cut by a mile either. I think he'll

617
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: play well. I still tend to think even though Tiger

618
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: is gonna tell us the same stuff that he tells

619
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: us every single time, which is, hey, I'm here to win.

620
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: That's why I show up at tournaments. I show up

621
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: to win. I think internally Tiger's thinking, hey, let's have

622
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: another good week, take another big step in that progression,

623
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to Brookline next month, the country club for

624
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: the US Open. Take another step, and then let's get

625
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: in two months to the Open Championship at St. Andrews,

626
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: where he knows that golf course better than everybody else.

627
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's the one he's got circled on

628
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: his calendar where he said, you know, I think I

629
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: can win a maid for the championship there this year. Well,

630
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about the guy that you picked to

631
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: win this tournament. And just a couple of years ago,

632
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: it felt like he was heading in the wrong direction,

633
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: like kind of Ricky Fowler's at right now. And he

634
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: has not just resurrected his career. I mean, he's one

635
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: of the best players in the world. Just like his

636
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: recent form over the last year is Jordan's speed. Uh

637
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: coming off a really good weekend on an easy course.

638
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: But still, I mean he won what a month ago,

639
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: like he's he's playing at a high level right now.

640
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: Why do you like him this week? So there's a

641
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: couple different narratives here at play that I will take

642
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: on all of these. The first one is the statistical narrative.

643
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: In his last two starts, John he's led the field

644
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: in strokes game t de Green. We always think of

645
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: Jordan's speed being the greatest chimper, the greatest putter out there. Well,

646
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: he's hitting the ball really, really well, better than anybody

647
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: else at both Harbor Town and the Byron Nelson, where

648
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: of course he won and finished runner up in those

649
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: two starts, so he's obviously in some form. Then there's

650
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: uh and this leads to this the confidence narrative. I

651
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: hosted a show with Craig Stadler the other day and

652
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: stad has gotten to know Jordan's speed hanging around with

653
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: him at Augusta over the years, and said, you know,

654
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: when he's not confident, he really doesn't play well. And

655
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: when he is confident, he plays really well. And that

656
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: sounds like this kind of analysts speak that we hear,

657
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: you know. Uh yeah, sure you can say that about everybody,

658
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: but it really matters. It really makes sense for Jordan's speed,

659
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: probably more so than anybody else. And when I watched

660
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: him this past weekend at the Nelson, I saw a

661
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: guy who what did have his shoulders slump, didn't have

662
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: this kind had a puzzled look on his face, wasn't

663
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: talking to his caddie Michael Greller about every single little thing.

664
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: He looked confident. He looked like he thought every iron

665
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: shot hit was gonna go in the hole. And so, um,

666
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: I love that confidence from Jordan right now. Um, whether

667
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: his game really is exactly where he needs it to

668
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: be or he just thinks it's where he needs it

669
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: to be, and it almost doesn't matter. As long as

670
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: he's got that confidence level, I think you can play well. Then.

671
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: The last part of this look you mentioned it off

672
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: the top PJA Championship sort of the redheaded step child.

673
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: It's the fourth of the four major championships. But I

674
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: will say the PJ of America does a great job

675
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: each year. The chief championship officer sent up this golf course,

676
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: he is better than anybody else in the world. It's

677
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: setting up championship golf courses does a tremendous job. I

678
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: feel like there's a little karma play here as well.

679
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: On a week when they don't have their defending champion

680
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: here to celebrate him, and you know, there's a lot

681
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: of questions coming in. There's a lot of weird off

682
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 1: course stuff. To have some history made here at Southern

683
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: Hills and have Jordan's speed become the sixth career uh

684
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: member of that Grand Slam club. I think I would

685
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: be really cool, and I think you'd be very fitting. Well,

686
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take his best friend, or I mean one

687
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: of his better friends in Justin Thomas this week, And

688
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: my logic is simple. I think Justin Tom is gonna

689
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: win a major this year, uh, you know, the top

690
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: ten of the Masters, but I think these next three

691
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna win one. I don't know which one obviously

692
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: played pretty well last week. What's your thoughts on him

693
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: coming off last week and just this season kind of

694
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: finding himself at at a higher level almost. It's so

695
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: weird because JT is maybe the most fiery competitive player

696
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tours, right up there with a John

697
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: rom or somebody like that, and yet what we've seen

698
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: from him over the last fourteen months no victories. But

699
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: the floor is really really high. I mean, if you

700
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: give me, like, hey, one player to put your life

701
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: on for a top ten this week, it's probably JT.

702
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: More so, I've got some other players ranked higher than him,

703
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: but I think his floor might be higher than anybody else,

704
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 1: which what I mean by that for the non gamblers

705
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 1: out there is just the fact that I don't think

706
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: he has a bad week. I just don't think he

707
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: has it in him. He plays, even his his B

708
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: game is still really really good. If he brings his

709
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: A game, sure, he's certainly capable of winning a golf tournament.

710
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: But it's been a while now, it's been fourteen months,

711
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: and so I think he's feeling a little that internal

712
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: pressure on. You know, how come I haven't won since

713
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: last year's players and what can I do and how

714
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: can I get it back? And we talked all the

715
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: time about, hey, it's been what five years since Jordan's

716
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: speed last one a major championship? It's been oh boy,

717
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: what eight years since Rory McElroy last one one? When

718
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: are they gonna win one? It's that been five years,

719
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: five full years since Justin Thomas won his first and

720
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: only major championship two thousand seventeen p J. Qual Hollow,

721
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: And you know that's got to be eating at him

722
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: a little bit too. Before we get into the two

723
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: guys at the top of the betting board, talking about

724
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: a guy who's one of major and eight years Roy

725
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: McIlroy coming off that Sunday at Augusta, which you know,

726
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: whether we think there's momentum and golf if it's like baseball,

727
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: next day starting pitcher, it's a new course. It's been

728
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: a while. I mean, what do you think about his

729
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: chances this week? I love his chances this week again.

730
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: Rory's another guy where I look at that floor being

731
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: really really high. I don't anticipate seeing a leaderboard comes

732
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon that doesn't have Rory McIlroy's name somewhere on.

733
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean he's necessarily gonna win. But I've got

734
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: him second in my ranking, right behind Jordan's speed. So

735
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: I do like him a lot this week. Look the

736
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: games there, we all know it. Uh, he's proven over

737
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: the last handful of starts that he's made, especially that

738
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: final round sixty four in Augusta, that his best is

739
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: still maybe as good, if not better than anybody else's

740
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: best out there. It's just that he's got to eliminate

741
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 1: the mistakes. He's got to get off to a better start.

742
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: He knows all these things. I tend to think it's

743
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: more mental than technical or physical when it comes to Rory.

744
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: He's just got to get his mind right coming into

745
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: this week, and maybe playing a PGA Championship where he's

746
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: won a couple of times already, maybe that loosens him

747
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: up a little bit as opposed to playing out Augusta

748
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: National where he's still searching for that first green jacket.

749
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: So I do think there's probably less pressure on him

750
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,959
Speaker 1: this week, and he's feeling less internal pressure and maybe

751
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: that helps him uh this week as well, because we

752
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: all know the game is there. Well, guy who's best

753
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: has literally been better than everyone in the last four

754
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: of the last however many tournaments he's played as Scottie Scheffler. Uh,

755
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, he went from you know, being a really

756
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: good player too. Now he's got the best odds with

757
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: John Rom feels a little crazy. I'm not gonna lie,

758
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: but I said that at Gussa and he wanted. Uh.

759
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: He's also called this place his favorite course in the world.

760
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: So I mean it's hard to say that guy Scheffler

761
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: does have a pretty good chance to win this weekend, right, Yeah?

762
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 1: How great is that for the other players in the field.

763
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: But the other you know, the Worries and the Jordan's

764
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: and the j t S and the other guys who

765
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: were trying to win this thing like, yes, Scotty is

766
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: on an unbelievable heater. Well, maybe we'll get him at

767
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: the p G A. Maybe he hasn't know the course

768
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: that well, maybe he's you know, not really it. Oh no,

769
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: it's his favorite golf course in the cool great all right,

770
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: I mean you can absolutely you see a Jordan's speed

771
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: two point oh this week. Remember, uh, the schedule is

772
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: different back then. But he won the Masters in US

773
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: Open to get the first to uh seven years ago.

774
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: Back in and if Scottie Scheffler is holding the Wanta

775
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: Maker Trophy comes Sunday evening, look at it. You hate

776
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: to look ahead, and I certainly don't want to place

777
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: expectations on him, but you start looking at this and

778
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: I think the US Open actually suits his game, maybe

779
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: better than the other three of them. And so he's

780
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: certainly capable of winning this week. And then he goes

781
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 1: to the US Open, where that's his style of golf.

782
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: He's played well the US Open to the past, and

783
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: he's much improved player from what he was before. So

784
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: the sky is the limit for Scottie Scheffler. I like

785
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: him a lot this week. Again, I mean it's hard

786
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: not to all the picks are sounding very chalky right now, John,

787
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: and I understand that, but I just wish there was

788
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: somewhere else I could go. I wish I could give

789
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: you all these dark horses, these sleepers night and ask

790
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler he's done. You know, he's running is over,

791
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: there's no momentum. But it's just not true. He's really

792
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: good and he's going to play really well in in

793
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: the group of like more cow uh can't le Cam Smith, Hoveln,

794
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: Xander Hadeki Is there a name and kind of that

795
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: kind of level of guy. I mean, that's a high

796
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: level of guy. But with Shokia or I mean, he's

797
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: kind of envisioned being right in there on Sunday. I've

798
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: got Cantley the highest of those guys. And this is

799
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: more just a general terms type of play. I just

800
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: think Patrick Cantley is as good as just about anybody

801
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: in the world. I mean, he's got so much talent.

802
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 1: He's such a good ball striker, he's a really good putter.

803
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got every aspect of the game and

804
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: what I look at. And I'll put Sander in this

805
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: category as well. The p g A championship year after year,

806
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: and we talked about this in terms of Southern Hills

807
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: this year as well. But it tests every facet of

808
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: a player's game. So you've got to drive it long,

809
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: you've got to keep it in play, You've gotta be

810
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: a really good iron player, gotta be able to get

811
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: up and down and you miss the green's gotta be

812
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: a good putter. I mean, you know this is a

813
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: typical of any major championship golf course, but really, the

814
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: way Carry sets up these off courses, you've got to

815
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: be on with every facet of your game. And so

816
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: you look at Patrick Cantley and Xander Shotley, and neither

817
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: one of them ranks worse than sixtieth in any major

818
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: strokes game category on the PGA Tour this season. Essentially,

819
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: they might not do anything better than everybody else, but

820
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: they certainly don't do anything worse than anybody else. I mean,

821
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: these guys are good with every single club in the bag,

822
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: and so I'm looking for elite level balanced players, and

823
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: those guys certainly fit the bill. This week, when Colin

824
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: went out here at TPC Harding, you know, he had

825
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,959
Speaker 1: played a cow so they had played that course several times.

826
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: He was comfortable in that environment. They obviously that it

827
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: gets set up differently for a major championship than something

828
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: he would play in college. Victor I saw yet on

829
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: Monday say that he's played here obviously, you know, being

830
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma State a bunch of times in college. Now,

831
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: the setup of the greens and the runoffs brings a

832
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,959
Speaker 1: lot of chipping into play. Is that something that would

833
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: give you pause with him? Because he gonna be comfortable

834
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: on the golf course and and from a ball striking standpoint,

835
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: if he's on, he's probably as good as anybody. But

836
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: if he he's a little off, and honestly, you can

837
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,479
Speaker 1: get a great shot and be on the other side

838
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: of the green right rolling off, then he's got a

839
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,439
Speaker 1: wedge in his hand. That's when it's like, it's hard

840
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: to like him in that situation. But has he been

841
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: who knows made the last couple weeks, he's been chipping

842
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: the whole time. I hope he has, and I hope

843
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: he has figured something out. He's dead last on the

844
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: PGA Tour and strokes gained around the greens. This is

845
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: mind boggling to me. We we don't see players in

846
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: the top ten in the world who have one glaring weakness,

847
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: one major blind spot. Yet we look at Victor Houghlin,

848
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: We're like, he can't chip. I mean, it's just it's

849
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: not good. It's not better than anybody else out there.

850
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: And so I think the hardest part about prognosticating this

851
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: tournament this week is not necessarily picking who's gonna play well.

852
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: It's picking who's not going to play well. You look

853
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: at those elite players, top fifteen twenty guys on the board,

854
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, I can see that, Yeah, I can

855
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: see that. I mean I feel like I'm just, you know,

856
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: mirroring everything you say, because I'm like, oh, yeah, I

857
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: can see him winning. I like him. The one guy

858
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: that I look at and I say, you know what,

859
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure I see it. Out of that

860
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: elite group of players, he is hobbling. Because chipping is

861
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: going to be very important, he's not very good at it.

862
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: Unless he's figured something out around the gradients this week.

863
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't expect him to all of a sudden look

864
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: like Jordan's feet or Cameron Smith when he's chipping around

865
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: these greens. You're saying it's a ball striking golf course.

866
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean two guys with fifty five to one odds.

867
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how much win equity they have, but

868
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: from a top five, top ten, Corey Conners and and

869
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: Tony Fina was showing a little signs of life and

870
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: he's played well at Major's before and just kind of

871
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: longer odds or do either of those two names. I

872
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: know you mentioned Tony, but Corey and Tony Fina if

873
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: you were gonna do put a small wager on fifty

874
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: five to one on vanduets. That's a pretty good long

875
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: shot for guys that wouldn't shock if they're just in

876
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: the mix come the weekend. I probably like Tony more

877
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: for an outright just because I think he's got a

878
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: little more offensive firepower. I think he's got a little

879
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: higher ceiling, like sort of we can see him winning

880
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: one of these. I don't know that I've necessarily I

881
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: can necessarily see Corey Connor's winning yet, and yet maybe

882
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 1: he has a higher floor. You can certainly see Tony

883
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: just blowing up on Thursday, shooting seventy eight and being

884
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: out of it before even starts. Really I can't see

885
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: that with Connors. I think Connors is more the steady

886
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: presence in this thing. So again, for outright place, I'd

887
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: probably go with Fenwe. For a floor play, I'd probably

888
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: go with Connor. So but I like both those guys.

889
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: I think on my ranking of the field, I've got

890
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: Feenal tenth and Connors twelve or something like that. So

891
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: both guys that I have in the next I know,

892
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: we talked, this is definitely a chucky week, and I'm

893
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: in agreement. There is there any you know eight ninety

894
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, I see Billy hors one. Was that be

895
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: the guy that I think you you you mentioned him

896
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: in your piece getting no love in the marketplace. Billy

897
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: Horshell's ranked fourteenth in the world, and I think if

898
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: most casual fans will only watch the major championships, click

899
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 1: on the world ranking list this week, we'll go, oh yeah,

900
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: top third team guys. Yeah, okay, that makes sense. He's there.

901
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: He's say, yeah, okay, you know that's what they gets

902
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: Billy Horssel and four team and go, huh, that's interesting.

903
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he would be that high. He's having

904
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: a great year, he's playing some of the best golf

905
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: of his life. On fandel right now, lest I checked,

906
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: he was Yeah, he's fourteenth rank player in the world.

907
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: I believe he is thirty on the odds board on fandel.

908
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: When we talk about value, that's what value is to me.

909
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: Value is, hey, he's double the number that he should

910
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: be based on where his world ranking is. Again, is

911
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: Billy Horssels gonna win this thing? Probably not, but again

912
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: he's got some win equity. He's beaten fields with a

913
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: lot of big name players in it, and he's playing

914
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: well right now, so I don't mind taking a chance

915
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: on him at that number whatsoever. And see to me

916
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: with Billy Horssel, like you get him seven to one

917
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: to top ten, Yeah, I mean stuff like that is

918
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: where when you can find a guy with those odds,

919
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: you look at the top fives, in the top tens,

920
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, top five. He's been in the mix before.

921
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,479
Speaker 1: It's not crazy to think that all of a sudden

922
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: you look up Billy Horsel's four in his paying whatever,

923
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen to one, right, I mean, that's that's real value.

924
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: What's interesting with Billy right now? All the stats look

925
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: really good except the iron play, and yet he's been

926
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: a really good iron player for most of his career.

927
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: That sort of his trademark. So I'm really not worried

928
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: about that one stat because I feel like he can

929
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: turn that around in a hurry. And if he's doing

930
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: everything else well, he's driving, well, he's ripping it well,

931
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: he's putting it well, there's no reason he can't contend

932
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: this week. Before I get you out of here, I'm

933
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 1: sure you guys talked about this on your show, that

934
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: the weather, you know, it's not they've played out here

935
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: before and like you said, it was the hottest thing

936
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: you've ever experienced. It's supposed to be a little chillier

937
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: and windier this week. What's what's so far the buzz

938
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: out there in the forecast. Yeah, I've seen, you know,

939
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: everyone kind of talking about the way. I don't think

940
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna happens. It Like when you were sitting out

941
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: there on Monday, was it was it warm? It was beautiful.

942
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: Monday was the most gorgeous day out There was probably

943
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: seventy nine degrees and there was a little one club breeze,

944
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: uh blowing through the trees. I mean it was just perfect.

945
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: There wasn't a cloud in the sky, really good winds

946
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: of up to the maybe twenty miles. I mean, it's

947
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: maybe a two club wind at times. Really not gonna

948
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,479
Speaker 1: affect things too much. I don't think unless things change.

949
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean again, the weather can change, the forecast can

950
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: change a lot from here until Thursday through Sunday. But Looksten,

951
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be cooler on Saturday, Saturday high and the

952
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: high sixties about sixty seven. Again, is that really gonna

953
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: affect anything? Now, it's not exactly sweater weather. It just

954
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: means you're not gonna be uh. As David Ferdy told

955
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: me on the radio yesterday, putting all the gold bond

956
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: in your pants before you get out there on the

957
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: golf course, that's a that's a good line. You actually

958
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 1: did that, apparently. I did the show yesterday with Charity

959
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: and McCord and Nance called in the middle of the

960
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: show and you're talking about having no control over anything

961
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: when you're the host. I had zero control over that.

962
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: But Charity did tell a story of two thousand seven

963
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: at Southern Hills. We talked about is a hundred something

964
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: degrees out. He essentially was just taking huge mounds of

965
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: gold bond putting in his pants. Then you walk up

966
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: to people and start shaking their hands and hey, hey

967
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: you do it, and yeah, story kind of did that.

968
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: I saw you retweeted something Nance said that he thought

969
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: that you could see a low number out there. And

970
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: just one thing he mentioned is just and I've just

971
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: seen some pictures and watching the Golf Channel last night.

972
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: I think this course is gonna really pop on television.

973
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: I mean it looks beautifully. Yeah, it's going to look

974
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: really really good on TV. Uh. Those who have said,

975
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: and I've heard this a little bit, oh, it's gonna

976
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: play like the US Open. They've had a US Open here,

977
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: so it's gonna play like Scottie Shefferd doesn't go play

978
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 1: a practice round a couple of weeks ago and shot

979
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: sixty four. If this is a US Open venue, it's

980
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: just not. Um. I had a colleague of mine. UM

981
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: told me that he was walking with a player who

982
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: and I I can't remember anything from yesterday, but this

983
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: player told him, look where the fairway is. This fairway

984
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: is much wider than it was fifteen years ago, and

985
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: this fairway over here much wider. And I think the

986
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 1: landing areas are going to be easier to hit than

987
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: they were back then. And so you're going to see

988
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: some scores out there this week. I don't think there's

989
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: a sixty one or sixty two out there by any means,

990
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: but uh six, I would say, if you can get

991
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: over under a sixty four does the low total of

992
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: the week, I would go under that. You have a

993
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: first round leader. Bet you like, yeah, I'll throw uh

994
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: tea time should be out as we're talking right now.

995
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: I haven't seen them yet, so excuse me for that,

996
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: but I'd go the morning tea time on Thursday. I'm

997
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: looking at essentially, stick with the guys who brung you here.

998
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: It's a major championship, the guys that we bet on

999
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: Thursdays on a regular basis. I'm gonna go with him Keegan, Bradley, Russell, Henley,

1000
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: Billy Orschal who you mentioned. And I don't mind a

1001
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: little Harold varn the third as well. Okay, I like

1002
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: a little h B three. I like it well, So

1003
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: we'll enjoy the week and let's have ourselves at the

1004
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: second major of the year and have fun. Absolutely, thanks, John, appreciate. Okay,

1005
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: let's go a little at go Lope odd is the

1006
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: Instagram fire on in direct messages, asked me anything uh

1007
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: about the PGA tour is golf in general. You know

1008
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: last week I couldn't remember TPC saw Grass my guy

1009
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 1: Tyler Raber. Yeah, I had a pretty good little career.

1010
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: You see. Davis just qualified, made a US Open, no

1011
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: big deal, uh ms the Cup, but got a bed

1012
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: into the draw the year DJ wanted at Oakmont. He

1013
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: text me he was listening and he said that, Uh.

1014
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: He's like, well you left out Pinehurst. I said that's fair.

1015
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: I I'd agree, Uh, Pineers definitely got left out. And

1016
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: I think that Pinehurst just resort in general would probably

1017
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: have some similarities to Bandon. You know, Pinehers number two

1018
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: was the most famous one. But you'd have to throw

1019
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: that into the best public courses, right, So Pebble we agreed.

1020
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 1: Pebble was clearly number one. Uh. Debandoned properties. I would

1021
00:49:55,880 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: put that right up there. Pinehurst, beth Page, any of

1022
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: these courses that host majors, for sure, I think have

1023
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,919
Speaker 1: to be thrown in the mix. Let's get to Jonathan here.

1024
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: What do you think of my boy Sebastian Munos. He

1025
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: couldn't finish last weekend, but he's having a good year.

1026
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: Well anyone, um he has what was his logo that

1027
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: he wears on his collared shirt is uh, you know,

1028
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 1: is the thing that stops leaks? What the hell is

1029
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: it called? I always laugh whenever I see a Look

1030
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: he's a good player. He's he's a really good player.

1031
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: This is what I keep talking about, like with Ricky

1032
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: and these guys that kind of all these new and

1033
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't think Sebashian Munos is that young. Uh he's

1034
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: probably still in his twenties. My my mouse died here.

1035
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: How old is Sebastian Monos? I would guess be my

1036
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: guests twenty nine? A little older than I thought. What

1037
00:50:54,920 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: is his uh safe leak flex seal? Yeah, flex seal.

1038
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: I love having a little flexile on there. But yeah,

1039
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't shot win a major. I mean

1040
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: he's it'll win a big tournament before his career is over,

1041
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: for sure. Huge fan of the content. You put out

1042
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: those three and out and go low this weekend. Just

1043
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 1: shot my first round in the eighties. Pretty stoked. Also,

1044
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: just bought twelve and a half acres and a zy

1045
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: so ready to have year round golf to make my

1046
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: game that much better. Twelve acres you're living, You are living,

1047
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: my man. Question for the pod, what is your go

1048
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: to strategy for gambling on golf. Do you just go

1049
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: for best odds in your favor or is it more

1050
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,760
Speaker 1: aimed at the best players you see in the each event.

1051
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 1: I've actually been thinking about this weekend. J T might

1052
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: be the only guy that I bet on to win it.

1053
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: I might spread my cash on Homer Keegan Haddeki maybe

1054
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: hoppling two to win it. But hadeki E get at

1055
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: home up probably the top ten a DECKI maybe the

1056
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 1: top five. I I do think with golf, when you're

1057
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: gonna gamble, you just have such better odds when you

1058
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: bet on guys to top ten and top five. Like

1059
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: last week, I had Bow Houstler in Davis Riley and

1060
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: David's Riley I think finished twenty one under maybe under,

1061
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: and he was right in the mix, but he was

1062
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: never gonna win. But if I would have bet on

1063
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: him to be top five, I would have had a

1064
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 1: much better chance. So I think unless you feel very

1065
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: good about the guy to win, which is fun, I mean,

1066
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: it's incredible hit of winning bet, I do think, and

1067
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: I've hit a couple, so it keeps you coming back.

1068
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: I think the odds are in your favor to bet

1069
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: the top fives, the top tens, or even the top twenties.

1070
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: But the one thing with the top tens, I like

1071
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,359
Speaker 1: the juice that it brings back. Like I can get

1072
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,919
Speaker 1: Keegan Bradley six to one, you know, I can get

1073
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: Max Holm a six to one to top ten. I

1074
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: can get Alex Norman, you know, four to one or

1075
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: five to one to top ten. I like those. So

1076
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm a big top ten better for sure. As golf

1077
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: and real estate market advice, once you move down to Arizona,

1078
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 1: you need to check out this course in a town

1079
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: called show Low. It's about three hours from Phoenix Metro.

1080
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: The course in the area is called Torrian. There are

1081
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: thirty six holes. It is a private course, but if

1082
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 1: you own a house in the community, you can golf

1083
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: a handful of times a year without being a member.

1084
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: I would recommend buying a place here and renting it

1085
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: on Airbnb when you aren't using it. I'm a realtor

1086
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: and I have a couple of clients that are doing

1087
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: this and currently are averaging a ten percent cash on

1088
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: cash net return. They have a sweet place they go

1089
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 1: and stay at. I'm not gonna lie, it sounds kind

1090
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: of cool. I'm gonna write Torreon, I want to look

1091
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: into that. There was a picture of Lamar Jackson golfing

1092
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: and he posts on Instagram like he needed some help.

1093
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: He was putting with an eight iron, and uh, he

1094
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: doesn't look good in golf clothes. I do you think

1095
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: it's very cool when you just see these guys just

1096
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 1: kind of getting into golf, trying to get into golf.

1097
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,240
Speaker 1: So uh, I'm glad to have Lamar Jackson as a golfer.

1098
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: But he he needs to put with a putter. Someone

1099
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: needs to tell him that. Loving the pod, I'll be

1100
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: boots on the ground at Southern next Wednesday. If Sobol

1101
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: can't make it, hit me up. My question for the

1102
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: mail bag, what's your best golf memory? Hole in one

1103
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: double egal Maybe just a great ass round with the boys.

1104
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: It's a hell of a question. Um, I did shoot

1105
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: seventy three, like two weeks ago. I was playing pretty

1106
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 1: freaking well. I'm not gonna lie. It felt pretty good.

1107
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: That's and I had had a really stretch stretch, rough stretch.

1108
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: I still can't talk after Arizona. Uh, like year of golf,

1109
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: I hadn't been playing that well. Is the best round

1110
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: I've shot in years? And I was. I mean it

1111
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: was it was a high level round of golf. So

1112
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. I would say golf courses. I've been

1113
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: to Olympic twice and got to play it's pretty special.

1114
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: I mean it's a hollowed ground in the game. I

1115
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: got to play all a country club last year, l

1116
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: a country club and then Niners Rams to watch the

1117
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: Niners win week a team. That was pretty incredible. I'd

1118
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: put that right up there. Um, let's see, I've never

1119
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: had a hole on one, I've never had a double eagal,

1120
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: I've never won a golf tournament. I wasn't that good

1121
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: in high school. Uh you know, I i'd I haven't

1122
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 1: even made my best golf memory yet. You know, I

1123
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,479
Speaker 1: have not made my best golf memory yet. One round

1124
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: memorial last year with the boys, played thirty six holes

1125
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: in a day. I hadn't played thirty six holes in

1126
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 1: a day honestly maybe ever. And you know, by about

1127
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: the first nine, you having some beers. By the second nine,

1128
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,280
Speaker 1: you're kind of drunk. Then you go to get lunch

1129
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: and you have a few cocktails. I've never been drunk

1130
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 1: to start around. And when you play thirty six if

1131
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: you know it's a weekend. It was. We were playing

1132
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: in uh Scottsdale and it was hot. By the whole

1133
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: I was struggling to stand. That's you gotta be Michael

1134
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: Jordan would probably tell you gotta pace yourself and you

1135
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: can play thirty six holes, but playing thirty six holes

1136
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: in a day. If you're able to play thirty six

1137
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: holes in a day, I don't care if you're at

1138
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:23,240
Speaker 1: a Muni or you're at Augusta National. That's a great

1139
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: day because that means you're not in a super jammed

1140
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: up place, you're having a good time, you're feeling the

1141
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: flow of golf. I'd say a thirty six whole round

1142
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: a golf day. I did that Abandoned Dunes bandon Dudes

1143
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: from my brother's bachelor party. I wasn't playing golf or

1144
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: very well, but it was incredible just to be there.

1145
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: It was just a very very cool experience. I'd put

1146
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: Bandon Dunes if you ever have the chance to go.

1147
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of in the middle of nowhere.

1148
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: We drove from Sacramento and it was it was a

1149
00:56:55,440 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: long drive. It was a long, long astrave. But when

1150
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 1: you're there, if you like golf, it feels pretty cool.

1151
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: The views just you've been hearing about it forever. There's

1152
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: just not much like it. I don't I've never been

1153
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: to Ireland, you know, I've never been and played those courses.

1154
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: I've played golf in New Zealand, but that was when

1155
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: I was like twelve years old. It's it's pretty special,

1156
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: whether you're playing Old McDonald or whether you're playing Banned

1157
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: Dunes or Pacific Dunes or Banning Trails or I guess

1158
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: the new course, Sheep Ranch. I I haven't been there

1159
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: since they built that, but I would go back in

1160
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: her I mean, I will go back. I don't know when,

1161
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: but it's it's freaking awesome. It really is just a

1162
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: special place. And I mean you could go with your kids,

1163
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: you could go with your dad, you go with your buddies.

1164
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: I would say it would probably be impossible to suck,

1165
00:57:56,360 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: and if you're playing decent golf, it's probably incredible. I

1166
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: was terrible. I could I was not playing that much

1167
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: of the time, and it did not matter at all

1168
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: to me. That's a special place when you can go

1169
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: somewhere and whether you're playing good or bad, it doesn't

1170
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: really matter. Like if I was gonna I've never played pebble. Uh.

1171
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: If I was gonna play Pebble, I would kind of

1172
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: practice and get ready because I would not want to

1173
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: play pebble and play poorly, because you know, it's not

1174
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: even about the price, but it just be like, yeah,

1175
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: I played Pebble, I shot seventy eight, right, you wouldn't

1176
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: want to be like, you know, for me, I'm a

1177
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: four or five handicap shot like nighttie, I would suck.

1178
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: We're abandoned. It does not even matter because you're like quirky,

1179
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to play these type courses,

1180
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: Like who cares? It's just it is really, really fun.

1181
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: And then the views on the coast places special special

1182
00:58:45,280 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: place audios, the volume
