WEBVTT - Manning Brother's Buddies Trip (Part 2) 0:00:02.080 --> 0:00:04.880 It's just astonished me to in this world you would 0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:06.760 play eighteen holes of golf, you would put on a 0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:10.479 coat and tie, you would have lunch, drink the entire 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:12.880 fucking time and then you would go back and play 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.760 golf again. I never it never even dawned on me 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:17.800 that for a person would come up with that. I said, 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:19.599 this has to be the Scottish that would come up 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.880 with this ship because there's no other nobody else would 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:24.680 do it, you know. So we we did that. Great 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.160 Love the course, loved the people. We had great host Um. 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:30.680 We went in, did the proper lunch, which was probably 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:34.479 the most unique experience for me of the entire thing 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:41.800 because I've never done anything like that. Put another log 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:54.040 on the fire what he hears get the time. Welcome 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:59.920 to the fire pit with Matt Chanella. In part one 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.960 of this podcast we covered the start of what was 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.760 the best buddies trip in and around the playing of 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:10.880 the Open Championship in St Andrew's. Not Even Cam Smith 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.520 had more fun than this band of brothers, which included 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:20.000 Peyton Eli and Cooper Manning, plus Eric Church, Taylor's Arzer, 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:24.640 Joe Lecava, Jim Nance, John Daly and Moore. We pick 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.680 it back up on Monday morning. There are two rounds, 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:32.120 one robe, a historic open and a cemetery trip into 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.559 their adventure. Here's Cooper Manning as they depart the RUSSICK's hotel. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.039 The remainder of their itinerary includes some of the best 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.240 courses in Scotland and then they're off to Royal County 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.920 Down in Northern Ireland, what many consider the number one 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:51.720 course in the world. The next morning, Monday, we get out, 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.400 there we go. We're getting a bus and this is right. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.360 and Um, normally it's like a two hour rod, I think, 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:04.720 maybe two twenty, to North Berrick. We uh, we jump 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.240 in a van and go to this field not very far. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.160 and Um, we had already packed, sent our luggage and 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.600 we jumped on a helicopter and went over to North 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.440 Barrick Ay to us, I mean, you know, I think 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.760 it was a twelve minute ride or something. It was 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:24.919 rolling there, you know, uh, just crunched up, the tall 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.760 guys in the middle, medium, tall guys back. Of course 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.880 they make marshalls sitting in front of the shortest guy. 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:35.200 You got marshalls running, you know, a shotgun being the 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.040 short guy actually paid you know, paid off. It did it? 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.519 Did you know? Cooper was trying to wiggle his way 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.560 up there in the pilot looked over him and said 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.120 now you gotta get in the back. Marshall sits up 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.120 front and uh, you know, it was good. You know 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:54.600 it's a little Um. You know you're you're it's tight 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.880 space and everything, but it was great. It was good. 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.480 You can just about see North Barrick. You know the 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.600 golf corps us from the old course. But if if 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.120 you don't have some sort of way to go over 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.920 the water or on the water, then you have to 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.600 go around it and it's going to take a couple 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.920 of hours to get there. And that was that was 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.520 clutch to be able to to cut off that time 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.959 and get to North Berrick with with plenty of time 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.000 to spare to play. On Monday. We literally just in 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:24.040 a yard like it like a field. Helicopter shows up 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.520 and we're off to North Barrick. I don't even remember 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.079 where the hell we landed, but it wasn't. It's just 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.680 right there's in another field, I think. I can't remember. 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.520 And then we got we go there and we're playing. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.920 We played. I played with the pro that day. They 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.040 only had. We only had two two foursomes. So some guys, 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:49.400 so Um mark, eubanks and Marshall, said we're not gonna 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.320 play this morning, we're gonna go get a workout. There's something. 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.960 So we played. I played with the played with two pros. 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.840 Pro At north Barrick, Martin was an absolute delight. Funny. 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.680 We had a we had a good money game there 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.640 and I do know Martin and I uh put it 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:09.160 on Peyton and and Weapron that day, which is, and 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.200 I'm still hating, collected. It's funny how that works here's 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.200 been weapron. The pro at North Barrack was somebody that 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.360 they that cooper, thought would be a good voice. So 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.760 I played so bad at North Park. Don't call him. 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.039 You check your when you're when your average roop score 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.240 for a week is like, uh, don't you know what 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.320 I mean? Like you don't want to see it. Hi, 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.640 I'm Martin Hush. I'm the head professional here at North 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.760 Barrick Golf Club and I've been head professional since two 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.159 thousand and nine, taking over from my father that was 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.240 here for forty two years prior to that. So it's 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.719 it's in the family and I started working for my 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:51.279 dad in so I've been here in north for thirty 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.760 one year, so I do know what Cummute to work now, 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:58.479 which is nice. And then, ironically, my grandfather, my mom's Dad, 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.080 was also the provint Gull and some were miles away. 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.159 So kind of steeped, steeped in the history of East Lothian. 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.039 My God, this is like you guys are like the 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:14.720 Morris family of Saint Andrew's. Well, well, maybe maybe slightly 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.320 better sailors, but apart from that, I don't know. When 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.160 did you first catch wind of the idea that this, 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:26.080 this group of Buddies was coming through? So this was 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.200 this was a weird one for me because I I 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:35.880 got an email from a well respected golf professional in 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:40.040 in the US, Mr Bob Ford, who was at Seminole, 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.880 and that I knew him from seminole and he gave me, 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.000 he gave me a buzz and said, look, I've got 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.720 these guys that are coming into town and is there 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.680 any way we can get them on North Berwick because 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.640 they've they've tried to get tea off times in North 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:59.680 Beric and they were unsuccessful in their application. And so 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.159 it said, is there anyway that we can get these 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:06.320 guys on. So when Mr Ford phones, Mr Ford gets 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:10.320 gets what he was. He's a phenomenal gentleman. And so 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.200 we got a couple of guys together, myself and one 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.600 other we we booked some of our advanced guest tickets 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.200 and we put them on the guest sheet without knowing 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.800 really who it was. And then when when we go 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.320 that time, Mr Ford and let us know, you know, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.760 the nature of the people that were coming and you know, 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.360 we were obviously delighted to be able to host them 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.839 and treat them as our guests. Here's Eli on getting 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.640 back to North Berrick. For my last trip, when we 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.760 went fourteen years ago with my dad and two brothers, 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.600 north Berrick was my favorite my favorite course from that 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:49.320 trip and I think it's a combination of the course, 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.880 but also on that day fourteen years ago we you know, uh, 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.800 we did the long drive. So we played somewhere that morning, 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.080 did the drive, you know, kind ahead. There was just 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.800 us for in a bus for two hours. You know, 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.520 I had, you know, a box lunch and had, you know, 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.640 fish and chips and a couple of beers and you know, 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.440 I think we ked off at six PM at North 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.360 Beric into a brutal win, you know, right in the face. 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.280 We all shot a, you know, a big number. But then, 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.600 you know, had that win, you know, right at our 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.480 back to that back nine and everybody goes low to 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.400 kind of you know it to finish up at nine 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.840 thirty at night and just like what what a day, 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.680 you know, to sit and kind of see the sun 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.840 going down and just put a special place and what 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.680 a what a cool you know, the Dan Hole, the 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.240 the wall hole. So just, you know, some awesome you know, 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.720 had somebody laughs. Uh, my dad got stuck behind that wall. 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.080 I just couldn't quite get that ball over a few times. 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.480 They had like hit one backwards and you hit the 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.240 wall again, and so just uh, you know, just those 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.520 fun laughs you can have, you know, with your family. 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.800 So I was excited to play it again. This one. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.000 I was you know, Um, you know, for the most part, 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.880 everything else was new, but it's like, if we gotta 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.800 play one I I played before, I definitely wanted to 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:05.680 be North Berk and and uh and just, you know, 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.200 just a special place. So, you know, just you know, 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.720 so much fun. Uh, had a great, great match with 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.920 Church and Taylor and Um, you know, a lot of 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:16.680 a lot of action going on, a lot of back 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.320 and forth, and so it was a it was a, 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.200 you know, still one of my favorite spots. These are 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.720 like gladiators of American sports and air church is a 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.040 big but do you have, did you have, any sense 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.600 of who these guys are? Yeah, I mean I obviously 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.600 heard of all the manning brothers. At that stage I didn't, 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.880 I had never known, had never met Cooper, but Eli 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.800 and Peyton were obviously big figures even, you know, even 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.440 in the sleepy holes of the east of Scotland. So 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.520 we certainly knew who they were. We didn't, and I 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:52.679 didn't probably quite grasp just how how gigantic these guys 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:57.559 are within their industry. But when I was discussing at home, 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.360 were sitting at one evening that I've said to my 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.200 to my wife and my my daughter in law to 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.240 be in the next couple of weeks is getting married 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:10.000 and that the Peton brothers were coming to play with it. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.360 You know, they were pretty nondescript. And then I said 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.200 Him we're playing with this other guy called Eric Church, 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.120 and my daughter in law just about fell off her seat. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:24.280 She's an enormous country Western fan and to even have 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.079 the contemplation that Eric was going to be not only 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.040 in Scotland but playing with the future following law was 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.480 it was kind of kind of blew her mind. Just 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.280 talk for a second just about how special North Bark 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.080 is and and where it sits in kind of the 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:46.080 the ecosystem of Scotland's Scotland's elite level of golf experience. Yeah, 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:50.680 I mean we're very lucky. North Barrick has this wonderful 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.960 history within the place it's golf was golf was played 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.800 or played. It's reninned have been played since sixteen eleven 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:03.520 and off Berwick. Somebody got up find for playing golf 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.439 on the Sabbath in sixteen eleven, so they must have 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.560 been playing golf before that. Um Not guaranteed that was 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.800 on the West links but somewhere in the town. But 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.120 our golf club was formalized in the eighteen thirty two 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.960 when it became the golf club that it is now. 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:21.120 But we have this unique place where we start in 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.360 the middle of the town, we work our way out 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.839 onto a narrow strip of land that we call the 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.160 links land between the sea and the and the town 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:34.560 and it's just as really unique natural place to play golf. 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.480 There's no architect being attributed to the course. But when 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.000 you get holes coming down the back stretch called pit 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.839 and perfection and Ridan, and then we have an original 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.959 Bearrett's green and a punch bowl style green on seventeen, 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.760 there's so much history, you know, if you take the pit, 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:55.680 for instance, whole number thirteen, you drive drive down the 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.240 fairway and then you're obscured by a wall to the 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.559 green us. So the green sits in a little valley 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.720 the other side of the wall, catching the edge of 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:09.280 the coastline, you know. And when, when the guys were 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.400 we're coming up to that whole. I mean to be fair, 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.640 one of our one of our playing partners, had already 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.800 visited that whole playing the fifth so we had a 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.640 bit of an understanding of what was going to go on. 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.200 He was a little bit ripe of target, but he 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.760 shall be unnamed. And so once we've seen that, the 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.040 history of that and the just the design and the 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.720 style of it is it's just so unique, you know, 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.320 and and being going formally for a hundred and ninety years. 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.920 You know, it's it's just phenomenon and we're lucky enough 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.439 to be in the top hundred golf courses in the 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:44.120 world and our rankings go up and up. And even today, 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.360 I mean we're we're prepping for a whole of the 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.520 ladies coming to us to try to qualify for the 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.840 British ladies. So the golf course is busy every day. 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:58.160 There's there's formal competitions, there's these body trips, there's people 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.520 playing it for the first time, people returning for the 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:05.520 fiftieth time. I mean it's it's it's unique because there's 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.520 nothing like it. There's nothing like it. He can't help 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.960 but follow in love with North Bay. Well, I'M I 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.600 WON'T STEAL MR churches thunder since you're going to talk 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:18.320 to him later today, but I've got a feeling he's 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.160 going to to tell you how special that was to him. 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.959 I thought it was the if if I were going 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.920 to play, of course, every day, out of all the 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:29.920 courses we played on this trip, that would be the 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.320 one that I would pick. It is just it's so 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:38.560 much fun and it's the variety of shots, the amount 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:42.559 of commitment you have to make two blind shots Um 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.280 right there on the sea. We had a beautiful day. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.200 It was it was a little bit on the hot sides. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.800 Certainly for the Scots it were. It was Um but, 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.560 you know, to see treasure island right out there and 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.640 in the big rock and then just that the North 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:01.520 Sea coastline like that was Um. Was So neat. And 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.800 you're right, the rock wall as you're coming in those 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:08.280 last few holes, the the iconic photographs that everybody takes. 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.280 We certainly took one too. Um. I loved it. I 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.560 loved everything about it. I played with Eric in an 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:21.640 Eli and Um Eric hit one into the North Sea 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.520 off of the first tea and and the caddy said 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.319 I can see your golf ball and Eric said, well, 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.600 we're going to play it, and Um Eli and are 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.600 just talking on the first green and all of a 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.960 sudden this ball just lands about ten ft away from 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.640 us on the green and it looked like an Eric 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.960 Church concert. He just emerges like from out in the 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.240 North Sea and he's got his sunglasses on and the 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.960 hair is up and he's got this huge smile in 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.760 his face and he said that's for Birdie Boys. It 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.800 was my favorite course of the trip. Um. I just 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.840 I didn't know anything about it and I loved how, 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.600 you know, they had the rock wall that kind of 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.479 meanders through it. It It just looked like the Scottish countryside 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.880 at the coast there at the water. I love the VIBE. 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.520 I played well, which helps, and you know, so for 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.840 me I just Um, that was my favorite course that 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.640 we played. They're all phenomenal and that's probably not fair 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.640 to say it. A lot of it is how you play. 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.640 But for me I didn't know anything about it and 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.080 to walk in and I found myself about the turn 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.840 going I love this, you know. So it just felt 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:31.320 like old country golf, you know, experience and Um, we 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:36.320 had a phenomenal, phenomenal day. Um, that day, Monday Bactis, 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.800 ours are on church, the dogged scrambler. If you put 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.760 this guy in a position of adversity, he's always going 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.480 to come through. Peyton. Had A lot of comments throughout 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.480 the throughout the trip about how church will get up 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.040 and down from from anywhere. UH, he did. A few 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:56.120 holes later, hit it way left and the caddy said 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.880 you're in lion territory and Eric said there are lions 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.320 year and he said no, if you find it you're lying. 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.680 I thought that was I thought that was a great line. Uh, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.960 but we we had such a blast and Eric just 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.040 was raving about the golf course throughout the entire time 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.280 and I'm like you. I thought, I thought that would 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.920 be the one that we really we felt great about. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.480 I think we already knew. You know, I played county 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.680 down and I knew so much about Merefield. Already had 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.640 high hopes for that and I think that most of 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.760 our group didn't know as much about North Barrick and 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.080 it just blew our minds. Did He make that Birdie? 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.240 Put on one? He didn't make it. No, but he 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.000 he still won the whole of the four net three shockingly. 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.960 At that point. Did you have to dial in and 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.000 listen to a little Eric Church music? Yeah, so now 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.080 he's on my playlist in my car when I go 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.200 up and die, you know, springsteen is the is the 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.480 is the track that gets played, and and drinking my 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.400 hand as well, you know. So I quite like the 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.040 idea I find my drink in my hand. So that 0:15:56.120 --> 0:16:00.840 kind of I could have worked quite nicely. So he was, 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.560 he was really kind of He'd Um. We got a 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.760 Bot an LP and he was very gracious enough to 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:11.000 sign it off to on that for him, for our 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:12.760 so yeah, I have a nice little gift to give 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:14.600 my daughter in lawn a few weeks time. Did you 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.200 get to play with Eric? No, so I I partnered 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:25.120 cooper and against Peyton and then Mr Weppring. So Cooper 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.840 and I have Peyton's money as we speak, which is 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.680 quite nice. It's gonna be nice to be able to 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.440 to add you in and and create some local flavor. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.800 And thanks for making the time. Yeah, you're most welcome 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.200 for some golf. Didn't end that day at North Berrick. 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.320 Golan is just down the street. Here's ours are again. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.600 You guys went over to lunch and Goling and a 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.040 couple of you went out. We did. Um, I knew 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.520 that several of US would be a little gassed. Um, 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:00.840 Mr Church and Cooper, Um and Ben. Saturday out and 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.400 and of course Peyton said, Taylor, we're playing golf this afternoon. 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.280 So Peyton and Eli and I played with the head 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.480 pro Alistair in the in the afternoon.

But besides that, you know, it's like, Hey, 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.600 I'm not, I don't know when I'm coming to Scotland 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.560 again to play golf. So if there's a chance to play, 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:12.400 of course, you know, let's let's go play it. And so, yeah, 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.480 you know what Weaburn.

You 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.399 gotta take advantage of it to be on that course 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.919 and the views and just uh, it's going to be 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.800 a perfect condition. So it was played with the pro 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:41.400 uh there and, you know, had an awesome, awesome day 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.520 and had a fun match Peyton and I had a 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.879 great match against Eli and Alistair that that we tied 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:50.480 and we we had to Payton and I had to 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.080 rally in order to to force that tie, which we're 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:59.280 pretty proud of. But I really enjoyed that golf course too. Um. 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:03.400 You can see how how much history is on display there. 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.720 I mean it's hundreds and hundreds of years of of 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:11.280 golf being played and it it's the thing that I 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.000 love the most is I'm I'm playing golf with, you know, 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:17.080 two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever live, and it 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.480 feels like in a way, and you, better than anybody, 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.399 has documented all the great public courses in in in 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.680 North America. It felt like we were just like on 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:30.360 the tee. It's some great public track, you know, or 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.880 some great Muni in the US and I'm standing next 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.479 to these, you know, two legends of the game and 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.760 they're having an experience that they could never have in 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:43.679 the US. You know that they're in ten minutes. The 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.000 entire town would be there if they tried to do 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.199 that and I love that they were able to have 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:52.040 a normal experience of gold. Back to Cooper on the 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.119 end of Monday night and then we all met and 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.199 that we were we built a brand new kind of 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.960 a synthetic big putting grain shipping air yet and we 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.600 set outside at North Barrack, at the Marine Hotel and 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:07.320 had dinner delivered to us outside as a quarters night. 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:12.240 Bones Mackay was there, Michael Grella was there, bones brother 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.080 had a trip plan for a couple of years and 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:18.280 finally got it. And we were out there tunes on 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:23.240 Um and just having dinner and and everybody was kind 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:25.639 of cooked and we knew we had an early morning. 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.560 We had a seven forty tea time at Merefield the 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:34.080 next morning. Two Times, three times before we get to Merefield. 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:37.560 Here's Church's final reflections on North Barrick. And then that 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:41.119 night we end up. Man's got a great spot there, 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.639 you know, out on the back of the hotel that 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:47.200 there's putting green chipping and we had dinner out there 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:49.000 and we were betting and chipping on, you know, and 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.640 the way into the wee hours of the night. So Um, 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.000 it was just a for me. That was my favorite 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.880 altogether day of the trip. Here's Marshall Alexander and then 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.600 you really lose track of what time it is because 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:04.640 it done getting dark until eleven thirty or midnight. So, 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.119 you know, we're finishing dinner. I'm like, okay, it's like 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.560 nine o'clock. is probably going to bed and it's it's 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:12.200 one o'clock in the morning. Then you got to get 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:14.760 up at a six thirty called the next day to 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:18.879 go play. So Um, it kind of reminds me of that. 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:23.040 What's that Peter Francie Song? Um, you know, I woke 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.160 up this morning with a wine glass in my hand. 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:27.520 WHO's wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine? 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.000 I can't believe where I've been. Must have been a dream. 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:33.600 Let's do it again. You know, it's kind of sums 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.640 it up for me.
