So behind the greens, that's a big part of golf. the greens it's like the inside joke like we're not even an inside joke it's like the joke it's like

the joke behind the scenes but a little golf thing correct that's what it is that's just what it is we're back behind the green's been a long time still want to change the podcast name to golf just to golf that's it can't stop thinking about it it used to it'd just be better for a lot of things just like uh do you listen to oh you have a podcast what's it called golf oh yeah what do you guys talk about golf it's like our buddy's weekend golf trip is called the golf weekend classic yeah it is it's coming up in a couple weeks it's called the golf weekend classic uh couldn't be more original we love that book tiger woods because it's just tiger woods and like i like straight into the point man behind the greens back we got assistant pros club pros golf course pros

that's the theme that's who we're going to hear from haven't done that part yet we're about to have them call in soon we had a bunch of people emailed us said hey i'm a club pro here assistant pro there I worked at a muni here. I'm in the business there. Golf's not just all about professional game. Golf's not just all about going out and playing different resorts or traveling or playing courses. Oh, no, no, no. There is a huge element to golf behind the scenes, behind the greens, you could call it,

that makes the game go, that makes it as beautiful and as perfect as it is. We've had caddies calling. If you recall, there's a man out there who the internet was calling quite the scumbag, quite the cheap scumbag. His name is Matt Coochard, because he refused to pay his caddy more than, I think, a couple grand. When he won, what, one point something million dollars, became a big thing, did not handle it particularly well, blew up into a big thing. So we said, hey, we've got this cool platform. We're by the common golfer for the common golfer.

Why don't we have caddies calling? And instead of, you know, maybe getting railroaded or screwed or jipped in terms of payment, which, may have happened in the Matt Cootcher situation. We're going to give all you local caddies out there as many as we can fit into a show, a voice to come on and tell some stories, talk about your experience, what it's like doing your job. We did. The people loved it. We came back.

We did superintendents. We did maintenance workers. We've done all kinds of good stuff. So this time, we are doing pros. Course pros. We want to hear from them giving lessons, dealing with running tournaments, dealing with the members. They're going to deal with the members all the time. They're like the liaison, the golf liaison.

between the members and the actual course, the club, at public courses I came to imagine what these people see. So behind the greens is back. Club pros, course pros, addition. I want to run through a couple things first before we get to those folks. Number one, I saw a very funny comment at someone sent in and said, one of you has to help Trent Daddy mix in a belt. What?

Trent's just been a la-la land this whole show and I'm loving it. What's about me in my belts? Do you not wear a belt? I wear a belt. I wear a belt. seen a few different photos now where you just haven't had a belt on a few photos and videos and then the guy also said what made me prompt to me to think about this was that he also just has tag out in the Bronte law yeah that was tough I walked around the tag out all day and the

only person nice enough in the office to uh help me rectify situation was Ellie from schnett talk she uh she sits right behind me in the office and she was like I just need you to know that you had your tag out all day and I'm not going to fix it for you so shout out to her I don't know about the belt thing I feel like I wear a belt like on a golf course I wear it almost almost all the time. I will say there was a time where you didn't have a belt and you were kind of freaking out. I bought a belt. Whiskey Creek,

I bought one. You bought one. Yeah. Because I knew, because I knew motherfuckers like this would come out and be like, hey, you're not wearing a belt. Did you have a belt at Pebble Beach? I don't remember. Nothing says growing up like putting on a belt.

When you're a kid, never wear a belt. When you grow up, belt's mandatory. Tell you what, Amazon the other day sent me an email and they recommend that I buy a belt rack. So I'm clearly in the belt game. Yeah. You have so many belts you need a rack?

And it's funny because I actually, the other day, so I bought a stationary bike for my apartment. And I just, you know, work out when I don't want to go to the gym. And I haven't used it in so long that I hang belts on it. And the other day I was in my room, I was like, you know what? I think I need a belt rack because all my belts are hanging on my stationary bike. But I don't know.

I think I, on the golf course, I think I always wear a belt. I'm sure there are videos and pictures. I'm not wearing a belt. Yeah, Rick's trying to do you. So what happened was this guy responded to this Instagram that I put up. And I thought I was doing Trent to Solid. He's on the, one of the most famous holes in the world. Seventh hole at Pebble Beach.

He's looking good. Clubs in a pretty good spot coming through. And you just not wearing a belt. I don't remember not wearing a belt that day. So Whiskey Creek and Pebble Beach is no belt for you. I wore a belt because I bought a belt right when I got to Whiskey Creek. So in the four play verse video at Whiskey Creek, I am wearing a belt. So Pebble Beach, I guess I didn't wear a belt.

But that guy can go fuck himself. I want to say people are roasting me for calling Lake Michigan, the ocean. in our latest video we put up of us playing whistling straits. Look, if it looks like the ocean, which it does, and it sounds like the ocean, which it does, then what's the fucking difference? To us, it might as well just be the ocean. People also said that when I called the ocean.

I called it the ocean when we played Cabot last time. We put up a couple videos of us playing Cabot. I was like, look, you got the beautiful ocean out there. They're like, that's a golf or something. Gulf of St. Long, huh? Fuck off. Fuck cares.

If you're looking at it. look it out and you can't see beyond the horizon is just water it might as well be the ocean I couldn't agree more couldn't agree more and I was just going to say I've been watching a lot of succession lately I'm on the other side of this thing we keep going and uh and the way the main character Logan just says fuck off I just I really really have been using it a lot I've been saying it the people I don't deserve it like I want to use it in a good way like I was at like the grocery store I just want like to the person that gave me my food I just want to be like fuck off as I feel good I will say that's going to come off negative it's going to come off like I

I just want me like, fuck off. Give me that fucking receipt. He delivers that off really well. Fuck off. Fuck off. Like scoff. Oh, I love it. It's really good.

I walk around my apartment. My buddy came out of the bathroom. I just go, fuck off. It's so dismissive. What did you just say to her? It is. Just get out of here. Fuck off.

Like, I don't, I'm just. That's what I say to the people about the ocean. Fuck off. Same way. Why are you so, why are you so gun-hull about calling it the right body of water? No, that's what I just call it like a big body of water. So you say that?

Oh, wow. my ball could have gone towards that big body of water or you just say ocean thank god it didn't go into that huge body of water you say that every time i would say lake i mean i would i would just wouldn't lurch knows his geography not really what the fucking lake i mean the gulf and the ocean yeah that's kind of the same thing dude like like rake said if i look out and i can't see anything around trust me i'm a dumbest thing i've ever heard i just think language i'm a huge language is an understanding guy but come on say to me fuck off smart what's the dumbest thing you ever heard That you say anybody of water that you can't see the end of is the ocean.

I'm just saying, like, if you're going to say it in a video. You guys are acting like, we're the dumb ones. Yeah. No, we're not dumb. That's what's crazy. No, no, what you guys don't get. Why don't you just call it the ocean? We're saying all the people just, we're saying all the people freaking out about it.

We need to just relax. That was good. Fuck off. Yeah. I hate getting roasted by Trent. Because I know it's, because you know it's like genuine. Like, if Trent's going to come after you, you're wrong. Well, I feel.

feel like you're going after Lake Michigan there because Lake Michigan it looks I mean you can't see anything I know I'm wrong yeah I get a turn I just it's it's similar to me to just correct it going on Twitter and just correcting grammar all day long who cares what's the difference nobody cares doesn't matter I mean it's very different very different especially for the guy that's like describing the course especially it's not it's that you just said the word wrong oh it's especially not especially not especially that'd be like what we're doing that'd be like we're doing that sincerely to him i was i was playing a bit it's the same thing it's caring about that what's the difference who care i now switch my position we should know what the body water is yeah it's beautiful it's a it's a it's a great

way to describe something it's just like that's the ocean hey frankie i switch i switch i switch man that's just you want to be anti me no it's not but i wasn't going like i think that's the ocean i was just going like well we got the ocean over there and the wisconsin over there that It was like, it wasn't a, hey, Riggs, this is a trivia question. What is that? As a Midwestern man, it's disrespectful to lakes for you to say that. I'm not a big lake guy. That's why I first wanted to say whatever the body water is, just call it an ocean, because

I have oceans all around. I have an ocean right to the right of me. When you're on Long Island, do you go the sound or do you just call everything in the ocean? No, I go south. I don't go to the sound. Well, have you ever referred to it as the sound or not? I mean, it's okay. Yeah, I don't, yeah, I call it the sound.

Okay. North Shore. Yeah, you're on our side. Yeah. I go to Jones Beach and like Lido Beach. That's different. That's the ocean. What?

Like I don't fuck around with the sound. Jones Beach is in the ocean. What? It's on the ocean. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. The hell are you talking.

He didn't think of beach and the water. I don't know. He wasn't connected with the dots pretty well. If I said a beach that's on Lake Michigan, I wouldn't say like that's Lake Michigan. I just think that beach is on Lake Michigan. You know what I mean? Whatever. Shut a fuck up.

Fuck off. Tiger at the Tennis, U.S. Open. Uh, really took the play. placed by storm the last couple nights. Fist pumping. I did not expect that. Huge, huge, pleasant, welcome surprise that you throw on tennis. You throw on your TV on a, what, Monday or Tuesday night in September of all times.

And you get Tiger Woods giving very genuine fist bumps. I mean, the one that he gave. So a couple things. The one that he gave on Monday night, I think he was watching Rafa Nadal, who I have had now to switch my fandom of because if Tiger is a huge Rafa fan, I don't know that I could be a big anti-Rafa guy. No one finishes his name, the front name. Is that what you're doing right now?

Yeah, that's kind of a tennis thing. We're on a tennis kick. No, I know. I just didn't know if that was it. Yeah, I know. That's why I want to be in on it. We just don't say, A.L. Nadal.

Rafael. Yeah, we say Rafa Nadal. Oh, fair. It's almost like when Michael Scott was doing the whole, like, he's doing the, like, what is it, an acronym stuff? Is it acronyms? Oh, he does his, like, WTF. Memory.

No, he's like, WTF and like ASAP, Pronto, Pronto. And, like, they're basically just like, Well, if you said the full thing, it would just be shorter than what you're saying because now you have to explain those. Yeah, I would say it's a little different with first names. I think a lot of first names get short. Yeah, tons of them. Like all the time. Timothy?

You don't refer to Dave as like David Portnoy. You just call him Dave. Like we call Rafa Al Nidal Rafa. True. So anyways, the first one that Monday night when he was watching Rafael Nadal, he stood up after being very upset. He dropped a couple F-bombs that you could see that kept cutting to him. and then he stood up at one point after a huge point. Who's he playing Chillich?

No. Yes. Yep, I'm right again. Playing Chillich gave a huge fistpub after a massive point that it was amazing because Ratha gave one. And then they pan right to Tiger, who gave one at the same time, stood up out of his seat after sitting down in every other picture, gave a huge fist pump with a backwards hat on. And then boom, the next night he's watching, I believe, Serena. And they cut to him again.

And this time he had, for whatever reason, he looked way younger. and I guess maybe the first time he didn't have his hat on backwards and this one he did because he looked like he was 20 years younger again standing up giving a big fist pump so anytime you can get that two nights in a row in September I think that's pretty good The first one was 2005 Masters fist pump It was the same exact image

Does he not clap? I mean it's a little outwee just to give a massive fist pump next to your kid I love the fist pump. There's only a couple guys that can fist pump like that And you know that it's just a genuine That's what comes out of them and the answer to that question or the answer to that, like, there's only

three or four guys is Michael Jordan is able to do it. He does it right in front of his, he'll hit it like a jump shot and he does it right in front of his face. Derek Jeter does the fist bump all the time. Every time he, like, get an outer and hit, Derek Jeter does the fist bump.

Don't tell me. It's a stretch, bro. Derek Jeter does the fucking fist bump. Then Tiger does it, man. Also, I would say Jordan says more just the tongue out. That's his sally. But they do it, though. Like there's famous fucking pictures of him doing it.

The famous one after you hit the shot against the jaz. Yes. Yeah, that one, he does fist pump after that. Yeah, he's a fist pump guy. Look, would you rather him clap? No, I just think it's like, so you're a father. You're next to your like four-year-old kid. And like a tennis player hits a huge point.

And you don't, you just go from massive fist pump. That's how you describe Tiger Woods. I'm currently showing Trent. Or he's a father in this situation. He's been a great dad. He's Tiger fucking Woods. He doesn't just sit there and clap like softly. He's Tiger Wood.

I'm currently showing Trent. If you type in Derek Jeter fist pump, you just go through. thousands of pictures in different scenarios in which he's fist pumping. I grew up Wadd, he's my idol. I was saying more about Jordan. I feel like I associate more of Jordan, just like the tongue out and the wiggle rather than a fist pump. Every time Jeter threw the ball to first base and it was a bang, bang, playing

and he got it, or he did the jump throw? It was always. Yeah, he would give it that. Always. Like Tiger ass. Nobody's doing that. Do you think Jeter fist pumped at the U.S. Open when he would go?

I think that if he was in a situation where, like, he was watching Serena Williams or Rafa and he was a friend of them and they fucking came in just like Tiger was like pumped for that point Guter would give like a like because that's just natural like they want them to win Yeah, he does a little choppy one Yes do Tiger and Federer hate each other?

No, they're bug are you sure? I'm pretty sure they're not buds. They used to be buds for sure Well they were Nike together Yeah but I think there might have been a separation I didn't follow on that And Gillette there was Gillette There was Gillette they were together too

I think after all the shit at the fan I don't think they were I think they never I actually thought about that the other night Because when he was going so hard for Raffo Yeah This is an interesting swing. You gotta think Well, yeah, I think that's where the question's coming from.

Exactly. Why did he jump over to his rival? I think they had some sort of falling out after the scandal all those years ago. I don't know if they ever. What scandal? We don't, we don't. One where he had sex with a bunch of porn stars. Whoa.

Oh, Jesus Christ, Trent. First of all, they were Perkins waitresses. And second of all, what the fuck, man? What are you doing? We take care of the Roger Federer conversation. We're on a tennis kick. We're on a tennis kick. just giving some context. You know, I got to give context for it. So I think after that, now he's just

fooling Nadal. So holy, I feel dirty. That was Federer we're talking about? I don't, what? It was weird. I don't know. Well, I knows there are, there are, uh, headlines like across like the UK and stuff. Why is Tiger Woods watching Raphael Nadal the U.S. Open? Like no one knows why. Well, if at Albany, I think it was a year ago or maybe two years ago, Nadal came down and watched Tiger at his event and they kept interviewing him because he was one of like five people in the gallery down in the Bahamas. he was following Tiger, so I've just assumed they've been good friends ever since. And I think, I want to say to his kids, I think, are huge, like, the doll fans. So I assume once you're a father, if your kids are just giant fans, you kind of just, like,

that's, you just go with the flow. Yeah. You know, now maybe they became fans because Tiger was, like, inceptioning them from a young age that Federer sucks. I don't know. Right. Let me ask you this, Lurch. Yeah.

Do people call Feder both Fed and Raj? More Fed. Yeah, both those names work, though. Same with Rafa and then also did all. Well, that's just his last name, but I'm going with two. Two shorters, yeah, fair. Yeah, they do. Absolutely do.

So Raj, Fed, and Federer. Yep. Okay. Every time I see Tiger Woods' son, I just look at him and say, like, is that going to be the next greatest golfer of all time, regardless of if he's even picked up a club or not yet? I know he plays soccer and does all these other things, and Tiger said he's not going to, you know, push them into anything they don't want to do, but you've got to think that he's going to.

going to be a phenomenal golfer. You just got to think so. What if he just doesn't ever play golf? I just think that's so, like, Wayne Gretzky's son, like, just doesn't, didn't play hockey. That's a burden, though. Michael Jordan's son played basketball, and it's just like, that's tough for them. So tough. Like, LeBron James's sons, they all play, but they're all pretty goddamn good.

LeBron James' son is going to be, like, Bron, he's going to be in the league. He's like, one of the best players in the league. Kids are he dunking. Yeah, I would steer clear of it. I mean, he's a small child. He can do whatever he wants, but golf is so hard to, like, I mean, we've talked about a million times. even like the scratched argument like if you want him to be as good as tiger then tiger

needs to start putting military tapes in his ears right start hitting balls and making them hungry right hungry damn man that's a lot of pressure it's probably why he doesn't want to go that route tons tons he probably probably he probably he probably just I mean the kid probably hasn't thought about it no he's probably just like well I don't think he thinks about my dad's fist pump and I'm a fist pump that's about as far as his thoughts go yeah but he like he's starting to get like I think he's at the age now where sports are probably like super cool to him and he just got to watch his dad win the master think that's huge i think watch his dad come back win the masters being a part of that probably has a little fire and i'm

like oh shit to now understand the highlights like even when his dad was going to win the masters he now understands when they were showing all the stuff of him in 2005 and like later on like in that whole entire run the early 2000s and stuff like he i mean when he's two and three years old you can tell him that you know daddy invented the world with like a snap of the finger he was 10 years old i just 10 years old nestle you can fucking you can fucking you can pay attention and learn and then that's all than I would have thought yeah way older yeah kids start getting this kids are starting

I was about to be on the other side of Frankie's argument his daughter's 12 years old but 10 is yeah I agree daughter's 12 so she's an influence on him too right so she's a little older she's probably got more like YouTube experience and like research experience and all that I think nowadays 10 years old is like prime YouTube do you know his name prime what the hell's his name

Charlie Axel Woods wow that's sick dude if he becomes A superstar golfer. His name is Axel Woods. God. Let's go. I will say, too.

Holy shit. I'm such a fan. He, too, is an adorable little kid. Yeah, he's a fucking kid. Right. So if he's got all that could be such star power. Axel Woods, son of Tiger Woods. Holy shit.

Fuck off. God, give him the green jacket right now. If he's not a golfer, you know what? I want to start pressure. in this kid. We got to push this campaign. He has to be. That's what he's destined to do. You're destined to play golf. I don't care what it means for your life and your happiness. Golf. We need Axel Woods. We need them. That might be two strikes today against the boss man. He is not going to like. That's not a strike. We're rooting for his

son to be like... Basically just said that you're going to do what Tiger probably has some serious scar tissue against if you've read the book to his son, who he clearly loves very much. They've been watching the U.S. Open together. Well, you know, Tiger Woods can also, we can spend it on Tiger and be like, yes, you went through all that stuff. But look at the amazing life you're giving your son because of what? Like now your son's just Tiger Woods' son and he has all these. He might counter that with like, yeah, I am giving this great life and you want me to change it into this militaristic miserable life, which would be dicey. Yeah, I could see both sides.

But selfishly, I want him to be, you know, the winner of the 20. Let's see you do math because you have not been notoriously great at this on the other. He's 10. He's 10. He's 10. It's almost 20-20. Okay. I'm trying to think of what, uh, yeah. Come on.

You can get there. 20-27 Masters. Wow, that would be young. That would be young. That would be young. That would be 10 years old. Tiger, I believe was 21 when he won the master's in 19-7.

I would have been 20-30. I'm thinking of like an amateur. I don't know. I'm thinking of like just graduating high school. If you just jumped to 2030, everyone had been like awesome. Yeah, I can't believe you couldn't get there. It was 10 more. We had pretty round, like, numbers.

We were right there. I know. I could have really just that. anything. We did say something. It wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't.

It's just time and close. Great. No one's ever going to win the Masters at the age of 17. 17 or 18. It's going to be tough. It's going to be tough. His name is Axel, though. Axel Woods.

Charlie Axel Woods. I mean, Tiger might be playing and he'd be playing. Imagine that. Tiger versus. Imagine the 2032 Masters. How old did Tiger be? He would be, what, 55? 56.

And then like, boom, Tiger versus Axel. Sunday. Oh, God. The last time I heard Axel was in that. video game with the tires you know axel rose Axel rose true fuck off golf as a noun so Rory

Macaroy in an Instagram story said one of his biggest pet peeves is when people use golf as a noun he said you don't golf you play golf you weren't golfing you were playing golf I love Roy but let it go you know I mean like if we're going to try and drop people to the sport then like I don't think we have to correct people

at every turn so what's with such a hard stance on ocean then. I was just wondering, I wish you didn't speak up because I was waiting for his take on this. Well, I guess that's a good point, but I think golf,

like golf needs people, oceans don't need people. Oceans don't need someone to phone them. Oceans don't need, if you talk to environmentalists before. I'm just saying, I'm just saying golf is a sport that we want to get people involved in.

I don't think you want to be deterring them by being like, you got to use this right verbiage. I don't think oceans. I think oceans and lakes, I think it's very different. I don't. Okay.

Well, because it's just like, It's basically. How? It's basically. We're trying to get people involved in this. You think this is going to stop people from playing the game? I'm just saying it would be like if somebody said hockeying.

I'm just saying it's a weird look to be like this is the thing that drives me crazy. I hockeyed. Would you say that? No. Why would you say I golfed? Have you said I golfed? I don't say it. Oh, that'd be shocking if you don't say that.

You don't say I golf? I said I played golf. Oh, that's impressive. Well, it's just correct. I'm sure I've said it. I know. I've said I golfed all the time. I golf today.

Yeah. But I don't. And nobody jumps down, yeah. That's all I say. Nobody jumps down my throat about it. I think it's just all good. I think Rory, it's just a strange pet peeve of his, I think. Yeah, everybody's got little, sure, little kinks in the armor.

No, make sure you go spinning, spinning, spinning. Alan Shipnuck, who's golf. com rider has also been, I noticed on Twitter the last couple weeks heavily against this and freaking out about how people use golf as an out of a lot. That's what we're going to freak out about? You know what I mean? I agree that it's ridiculous to freak out about. I went golfing today.

I went golfing today. Yeah. That's not. correct? That would be I played golf today. Oh, fuck off, man. I went golfing today. Why?

How is that crazy? You wouldn't say, I went hockeying today. What's the difference? They're both sports. You're saying you don't see the difference there. People, it's like, how long do you say? What about sense? Like linguistically, that's just, you guys are just wrong.

But do you correct people and they say I went golfing? I don't correct people. I don't care that much, but I am saying it's wrong. Oh, all right. I've never corrected you guys before, but in my head, I think, ha, idiot, that's wrong. which is nuts because your whole ocean thing before is insane. I know I started on your side, but you were just so wrong on that.

And the other thing is that like golfing is not, like, I think linguistically that's like, that needs to change then. Yeah, that I agree. Why can't, like, why can't we just say that golfing is what you do? Why can't that be the term of what you're doing? Who's to say that? Because you're not golfing. You're playing golfing. Why can't we say that that's what it is?

Who's going to be the ruler on that? Well, then the argument would be like, we'll then say footballing. Yeah, but that sounds. I was footballing today. That just sounds stupid. But these people would argue that to them, who are correct, that, like, saying golfing is stupid. I think golfing has been accepted by society. Yeah, I'm a huge language as understanding.

I'll say that a thousand times over again. Golfing is the act of playing golf. Yep. That is just put it in the dictionary right now. That doesn't. So how would you say I'm, like, I was just thinking of sports. I was fencing today. Fencing.

I think fencing, I don't know. I would guess it's different because fencing is, like, the actual fence? Fence? now. Like, I don't think... Yeah. Is that... It's fencing. The sport is fencing. Yes, right. Okay. Well, what's the difference?

No, no, no. The sport is golf. Yeah. This ends in an I-N-G. Okay. You're upset about this. I am because that's all I say. I went golfing today. It's crazy to say I played golf today. Like, I mean, not crazy, but just to someone...

If I said to someone... You would have... How lame does it sound? Me and my buddies played golf today. Like, you just sound like... Like, what'd you do on Saturday? Oh, I mean... Or imagine being like, I want golfing guys like,

you actually played golf today. It's like, fuck those people. You play golfing. See, I think it's crazy that you, like, I will have in my life, I'm sure I've said, you know, me and Lurge golf today. I'm sure I've said that. But I would say like 90% of time, I would know, I would think that I would think in real time, like, I know that's wrong.

And I would most 90% of time, I would say like, oh yeah, Lurch and I play golf today. I would never go back and listen to all the clips, but there's got to be. tons of examples of you saying golfing golf. Well, that's what I said there has to have been. But I think it's like if then you're not that staunch against it if it still slips up. That's something that doesn't bother me. I'm not staunch against it, but I am. It feels like you are.

I'm surprised that you guys are so surprised that people that like this is correct. I'm surprised that it's actually correct. I'm surprised as well. I'm surprised. I am. I'm surprised you guys are surprised. I don't know, man. I just like if someone ever corrects me out there, I may punch you right in the throat.

Maybe we just change this podcast to golfing. Yeah. Right. Not on my watch. Okay. That's it. We got some more stuff we're going to get to, but I'm going to push it to next week

How are you, man? What's going on? See you, Pete. Not much. Just playing a little golf here in Colorado right now. You're currently playing golf? Yeah, I'm on the 8th hole. Got about 241 front of the green, Part 5. Let's talk through the shot here.

Yeah, what are you using? I'm waiting for these old folks to walk off the green, and then I'm going to hit a little hybrid up there because I'm at 9,000 feet so you get a little extra carry. Smart. Let me ask you this. Does it make it harder for you when you? You got to wait and then hit that shot.

Y'all, you fucked that up like the rest of us? I think everybody does, right? So are you wearing, like, Airpods or something, or you have, like, wireless headphones in right now? Are you going to hit this shot while you're on the phone with us? Yeah, exactly. All right. I can't wait to hear that contact.

It better sound crisp. Yeah, you got to... How well you think we'll be able to hear the shot? I don't know, but this is massive... Can you drop an ear pod right next to the golf ball and keep one here? ...called an AirPod, Grandpa. and number two is... I think...

Well, sad I don't have a pair It's too expensive I think once you take one out It like mutes it It's like the technology It knows what's in the air, boys You just hit it?

Ah shit Nice job Frankie You hit it already? Yeah we're center of the green Rowing back off the slope We probably got like 25 feet What a shot From 241

We didn't get to hear The fucking contact Damn Wow What a shot So you, I mean, you're, talking through your job, what you do? Well, I used to be an assistant down in southwest Florida. And summer up in the Wisconsin area.

All right. You got any, it looks like you got some crazy story here that you'd like to tell. Yeah, I had a, so back in late March of 2014, I was an assistant in a club in Benita, Springs, Florida, Spanish Wells. And we've a 98-year-old member, Fred Thompson. He was from New Jersey, I guess, originally. Nice. And came in one day after nine holes.

He played three times a week at 98, played in the men's league, nine-hole league. And came in one day after a nine-hole round with his son and his grandson. and Fred just kind of walked in nonchalant like a 98-year-old man would. And his son and grandson were just beaming. And Fred made his first hole in one of his life at 98 years old. He'd been playing golf for 85 years. It was a, I think it was a seven wood from about 90 yards. And at the time we checked in the old.

oldest hole in one on record was 101 years old. So old Freddie missed it by a little bit there. Oh, Freddy is what you called. All Freddy. Good response. He did say he's in Colorado, right? Yeah. That's a big time.

No, I know what that was. I know exactly what that was. I got to tell you, hearing that makes me believe, without a doubt, I will never get a hole in one. Never. I know. That was my thoughts exactly. I got to wait 85 years to get one of those suckers.

So you don't have one either? Might as well just put me in my grave now, right? What course you're playing at out in Colorado right now? I'm in Breckenridge. Okay. Out nine of the Breckenridge course. All right. Which hole?

Yep. I want people to know. Number eight. So we've got, what, 25 feet for Eagle? Looking more like 35 here. I got up to the top of the top of the edge. A little windy up on top of that ridge, eh, Dan? Yeah, a little bit.

Oh, I see where you are. All right, so we pulled up the hole. Wow, nice-looking hole. Really nice. Say, what, did you hit a little cut in there or what? Yeah, driver cut and then a little hybrid cut up into the middle of the green. So you're going to walk us through this pot. We just got to know if you make it, then we're going to let you go.

All right, sounds good. 40 feet? Two feet short, boys. You play so fast. You play fast. I love that. Hey, dang. Good birdie, man.

Really nice birdie. That was fun. Thanks, all right, buddy. Thanks for calling in. Have a good one. Thank you for calling in. We appreciate it.

Yeah, you got to give me an address and I'll send you some hats. Love that. Yes. Not a problem. Yes. That was great.

That's another edition of these that we could do is just people out there playing golf and we talk through all of their shots every time. It's like we just come in here on the middle of a Saturday. I know that doesn't sound fun because it wouldn't be. I'll do it. You come in here and people are like, all right,

if you're out there, just call in. We'll give you. Every shot. If we just put that up on our Instagram storage, here's the number. Call us. Call us and we'll walk you through one hole.

A full hole or just a shot? Just a shot. Maybe, yeah, we do shots. Whatever shot you're on call. Calls. We'll do one shot. One shot. A little caddiet.

We'll go through the whole group. Imagine people calling there. I got a four-footer to win the match. Yeah. That'd be great. I'd be on the edge of my seat. I will say the Fred story, 98-year-old made a hole in one.

I didn't know where that was going. I didn't know if Fred was going to get out of that story alive. I really thought, There was going to be some death there, but luckily it was a long. I was massive. It was big time. I will say it says on the thing here on the description, it says whole and one story, so I knew where it was going. Okay.

It was kind of spoiled for me, which is a bummer. John, what's going on? How are doing, guys? Doing great. How are you? Not too bad. We appreciate you holding on. Yeah, no worries.

We had a little bit of technical failure. Yeah, it happens. No biggie. So yeah, what's your job hit us? Or what was the job? So I'm not, I'm actually closing up to shop now, but I'm not an assistant pro. I used to work for the Newman PGA section. And like every, at the end of every summer, the Deutsche Bank would call us up looking for like volunteers or people to do random jobs at the Deutsche Bank.

So I got snagged a quick gig for Labor Day weekend driving. NBC golf, like on-site commentators, cards around all weekend, which was pretty sweet. So I got paired up with your boy, Nota Baguay. Notifications? Yeah, notifications. He was firing them all weekend. And then, so the first day I get there pretty early, try and learn all this stuff I need to do with radios, walkie-talkies, et cetera.

Got to set up a cooler for Nota-Begay. Didn't have much time. weren't like super cold waters. So get through the first day, no biggie. Get on to the second day. Try and get there early, hit the buffet, watch a couple holes, watch some golf. So I have Noda Bagu's cooler with a couple waters in it,

like sitting on ice all morning into early afternoon because we didn't go out on the afternoon for the lead groups. So finally comes out, pulls up into the car, asks me for a sip of water right before we head out, grab him his water. and he takes a quick sip

I start driving you know the soccer mom where they pulled the where their mom would like if she's about to run into something she'll stick her arm out and hold you back oh yeah oh so he throws one of those on me

I'm like oh god what did I do now and he looks me dead in the eyes with those massive not of the gay sunglasses and goes this water's too cold I'm like what I don't like my water cold I was like, oh, like, well, how do you like?

He's like room temperature, slightly chilled. I'm like, it's Labor Day weekend. It's 95 degrees out, my bad. So, no way. That was my Nourba Gay story. Yeah, that's serious. He was chill all weekend, but I guess he's very particular about his water. Bit of a diva.

Bit of a diva. It's like, dude, relax. Yeah, your friends of Tiger Woods. Then just hold it for a second. It's like, all right, then we're not giving you any water. Or the other thing is like him doing the soccer mom stop, acting like it is preposterous that you gave him with cold water. on a hot summer day.

I mean, that's pretty standard move. Yeah, it happens. I don't know. I guess I didn't get the inside tip from the NBC staff, but it happens. Well, at least you said he's a nice guy the rest of the time. Oh, yeah, he was a blast. Grab lunch with him a couple days. He shared some tiger stories, so, yeah, we had the ball.

You got some personalized notifications? I mean, you know, would you, could you share any of them? I was like from back in 2014-ish time frame, but it was about the time where Tiger was coming back and forth between the back surgeries and whatnot and all that was going on. So he's like, he like gave a little bit. He's like, oh, he's working on the swing, he's doing this. I had a steak dinner with him last week.

Like, oh, geez, not a bad life there. I love he was Louis just giving you what he does for a living, just directly to you. Oh, I know. Like Noda, how's your meal that you're sharing with me? And he's like, you know, it's a little different than the steak I had with Tiger last week when he was telling me about how he's changing his swing to help his bat. Just hang out.

A golf channel camera just appears. It's like they're doing it. All right, John. Well, hey, we appreciate it. You know, make that little mental note, get Noda, room temperature or slightly chilled water. You got it. Thank you, I have a good one. I will say there was at one point in our time.

argument at this office or the old office about the somebody didn't like drinking water out of the water cooler because it was too cold that was one of that is preposterous it is I I mean I don't I don't think it was it may not have been him but I think Nate dog didn't he say like hurt his teeth or something like that I think it was him yeah it said it makes sense but it's also that's preposterous but it's even more preposterous to be outside Labor Day hot and being like there's water some people like tap tap water like regular temp water the last guy who had problems with water on this podcast. That crazy person that got knocked the ball around. Mr.

222. Whatever he fucking shot. Remember him? That guy had water. Of course. It's a huge water issue. You know what's really good is I forgot that guy's name already. I just remembered it. Fuck. His real name? Well, I think his I don't have to say it. Don't even say it. Don't even say it. But that's the only thing.

The only reason I bring that up, which I wish I didn't was that. By the way, also, hey, no, to if your water is too cold, wait 10 minutes. That's what I said. Just put in your hands for Five minutes. Same thing you can say to Nate dog. Water comes out a little too cold.

That's so true. Set it on your desk for five minutes and then you just drink it normal. You know? Just wait. Just wait. Just take all the bottles out and just let them sit there. I bet I know what's going to happen if you don't drink that water right now. If you don't be room, put it in the room.

Let it sit there. Let it be in the room. How many cubes you use. Yeah, I don't know. Your sweatpants are on for the day, but you are sick of microwave leftovers, frozen pizza. You don't want that stuff. Interdoor dash restaurant quality food with a little. living room dress code.

I've known Frankie since kindergarten. We're in kindergarten class. This is insane. This is my guy, Tim. What's your best Frankie Brelly story? I mean, he probably doesn't have a good Frankie Brelly story that can be shared on this podcast. That's what I mean.

It's a pretty open podcast. I don't want to get too descriptive. I don't want to get them in trouble or anything. No, I can't get in trouble. I got one. I got one good one. We had a kid who was a year older than us on the team, and him and Frankie would always go back and forth.

I mean, Frankie was like a king shit talker. So one day, we're outside or waiting for the bus. And we used to chip like wiffelful. balls on the side of high school. Terrible. And so we're chipping around, and Frankie and this kid get into it. All of a sudden, I don't know who started it. Maybe Frankie did.

They hit a divot at the other person. Oh, shit. It turned into an all-out divot war, where the two of them are taking full swings, just hacking earth at each other for about 10 minutes straight. I do remember this. Lunatic. I remember. I remember.

Oh, yeah. Got mess. Our coach finally come down and just yelled at them, but it was unbelievable. I thought he was no regard for golf course. I don't. This was outside. This was outside of our, this was outside of the gym.

Inside of the gym at the high school. You have no respect for grass. Yeah, true. But I thought he was going to tell the story of where we were at the Creek Club. Oh, boy. And I dropped a hard, was it a hard C? A hard CNX Tuesday from my.

Oh, my God. And I remember, I think you wrote that in like my, I think you wrote that in like my yearbook, if my memory serves me correct. or someone did where it's like I've never heard. I think it was someone wrote like I've never heard the use of the word see you next Tuesday like louder than at the Creek Club. I remember I was going for like an eagle or a birdie. And this place is like everything is just you can hear whoever's on the 18th hole

and the first hole. It was like a perfect day completely silent and I missed this put and I just dropped like a cut. You had to do it. You had to do it. You got there. Man, you went over that. And the whole place stopped.

Like, I think the bird stopped chirping. I mean, I'm in high school. Like, Jesus. Yeah, yeah. I walk over to Frankie. I'm like, dude, you know, we want to play here again next year. Yeah. We don't want to get banned from this place.

So Tim actually has like a crazy couple past years. You went over to Asia, right? Talk about that because it's really interesting. All right. Yeah, I went to Taiwan for four months. I went back just before Thanksgiving. So I actually missed Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's. Yeah, it was pretty wild.

I mean, interesting to say the least. The school I went to, I actually taught at an elementary school where golf is a mandatory phys ed class. I mean, how cool is that? That's awesome. These, you know, these kids between like 8 and 12, just learning golf from a PGA pro. Pretty cool. I mean, big part of the program was they had a life skills, you know, kind of core value training. So, you know, if we had a thousand students, all of them got that.

You know, maybe out of a thousand, 100 kids were good at golf. At the end of the day, they all got this core value training, which, you know, that'll be with them for the rest of their life. That's amazing. It's a pretty cool experience. Especially because you always hear about golf, you know, teaches you, like, good life lessons and how to kind of like live and treat and meet people and all that. So bringing that there is incredible. Yeah, it's just a different kind of game. So the etiquette, the integrity, to pass that along through golf, it was, you know, it's different.

And isn't there something in the Taiwanese, is the Taiwanese? Taiwanese golf courses. Wasn't there something crazy with the carts do? Don't they have like six-seater carts or something like that? Yeah, it's a totally different experience. So you take a golf cart. It has two rows of three. You take two caddies with you.

So it could be a little awkward. Like you might have to sit next to the two caddies. And, you know, you go out there and you're not allowed to drive the cart in the fairway. They pretty much drive the cart the whole time. So it's like a shuttle bus? Yeah, so the caddies are more like chauffeur. They ride with you in the car. It's kind of like a show.

I mean, for the most part, you just walk in the fairway, and they just drive the cart around. So we're just kind of walking up the fairway. They take the cart around, and, you know, it's a different experience. I actually kind of like that. I didn't really, like, understand them the one day. So she told me, she was saying Wedgy. She was trying to tell me to hit Wedge. And I guess she pronounced the E at the end of Wedge.

So she was saying Wedgie. And I was like, oh, I got a little insecure. I'm like, oh, you keep, like, you keep rolling your, you keep rock for the dolly yourself. You keep threatening me with wedgies. Listen, I have an ass crack issue, and you're really exposing it right now, Sharon. All right? Well, you're just shut the hell up. It's like, no, wedgy.

No, they were unbelievable. They were really-y-yards, Wedgy. They did a great job. They took it very seriously. Golf courses, they're really cool. You know, they're like tropic, very mountainous. The only difference is they don't really care much about conditions. So fairways are kind of burnt out.

Greens are very slow. So that part of the golf is tough. You know, I pretty much came up 10 feet short in every putt. So that was a rough go. Nobody likes that. No. I mean, I had a couple of eagle putts. I just left 20 feet short.

I'm like, oh, great. I got to just ram this next one in there. I'm sure that takes you're getting used to. We're used to Long Island fast green. So we're a little pampered in that respect. So Nisaguar, I mean, we got to get out there from what Frankie said. It's just the biggest hidden gem along out. It's a beautiful place.

You guys are always welcome. I'd love to have you. It's a very cool place. Right on, right, you know, a couple of the holes go right to the water. It's beautiful. Really fun golf, you know, shape your shots type stuff. I despise the 18th hole. I mean, I made a 9.

You trended it. Yeah, you went 8th, right? Yeah, I mean, I put the 8th hole is a, it's a, I mean, I'm sorry. The 17th hole is an island green, so much fun, put it in the water twice. It's just I don't like to talk about the hole. experience. It'd be good versus video, though. It would be.

It would be. Island Green. Seems like a great excuse to get out there. It is. Well, thanks for calling Tim. I was like hearing from him. I mean, we knew that he was going to be successful in the game of golf just from an early age, you know, it was cool.

It was cool to see him in action. He's got a very good game. Oh, how'd you do in the tournament? So that you guys played in that assistant pro tournament at Bethpage, right? Oh, I did terrible. Oh, shit. This is like my, this is my 12th round of the year. year.

That's one thing about assistant pros. We don't get to play so much. That's what was stunning to me when you said that to me. Yeah, because he says he's doing all the tournaments. Yeah, I run all the tournaments. I'm the only assistant too, so I'm teaching all day. I'm running tournaments, so it's kind of hard for me to get out. But fall is my time.

I'll play a lot in the fall at least. So I got the bridge coming up on Monday. That should be cool. Oh, that place looks sick. Nice. Yeah. Is the bridge the one that was like the old racetrack? Old raceway.

Yeah, it's got like old. billboards from 70s and 80s and a lot of cool stuff out there. Link's gems. He had a post recently. You should check it out pretty good. I saw that one. That place looks sweet. He got the best.

Yeah, good track. So I'm going to head out there and then hopefully Maidstone in a couple weeks. So I got a nice little September. Good tracks out there. Falls your time, Tim. Falls your time. It sounds good. Lefty, too, and putts righty.

So I love to see that. Yeah, I'm all messed up. Do you think there's any, do you think there's any future in Frankie chipping right-handed and putting right-handed? You know, I used to actually chip right-handed. hand in two because I put righty my dominant hand is is my right hand so I don't know if he's nearing that mode of desperate you know he just did a shadow right-handed he just did a shadow right-handed because it makes sense I do I'm telling you the back hand that that that's driving the club should

be your strong hand I always said that with baseball with myself I was always a contact hitter now I'll say this I was a skinny little twigs I was never going to hit for power but I always felt like when I got into like a batting cage and I'd swing righty I'm like I feel like I can come through, like the power is on the top hand that's driving it, as opposed to the bottom hand is like a weaker hand, like, bringing the club in. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Like, I always feel like the top hand should be the stronger hand, bringing the club through.

Yeah. The bottom hand should be the one that's like just following. And hockey, that's the way it's supposed to be. Right. Is your dominant hand supposed to be on top because you kind of control and your other hand's kind of a placeholder for the most part, with all your stick handling skills. Which is probably why a lot of hockey players are lefties because a lot of them probably dominant right hands.

Yep. Yeah. There you go. I mean, hey, you guys had that hypothetical about, and someone becomes Scratch. I mean, you know, it takes a good swing, but I think 90% of it's short game. So, Frankie, you know, you're right there, dude. You get a short game. You can be a scratch golfer, dude.

And this has nothing to do with me growing up with the kid. This is just a guy who knows how to talk golf. That's pure honesty. I mean, you, Riggs has a chance. Appreciate that. Trent, maybe we could get you to like a 12. Yeah. I think everyone has their limits.

But, you know, it's a beauty of the handicap system, man. You got to love it. Tim, we very much appreciate the call. Also, Lurch and go fuck himself. That's fine. Just not a chance. Lurch, you're okay, man. Appreciate that, Tim.

Thanks for having me on, guys. Thanks, Tim. See you, buddy. Appreciate the call. So that tournament's going on at Bethpage Red. It's an assistant pro tournament. I actually found out about it too late. I said we should have went down there and saw the guy.

I know. We were talking about this in the office. Yeah. That's right up our alley. It's right up our alley. We should go. The next one that comes around, especially in New York, we should definitely go to.

But actually, I just found out, like, that's, like, a very competitive thing. All the assistant pros fucking really take it seriously. My guy, Maddie from Cherry Valley. I called him before. I'm getting a couple of guys on Cherry Valley tomorrow. A couple of Islanders not to fucking brag or anything. And, yeah, I was like, he's like, oh, I just got off the course. I played in the tournament.

He, like, made the cut. He, like, shot 72 today. It's like, let's fucking go. Like, that's, like, that's bragging rights. I love that shit. Look, all these assistant pros, anytime there's, like, a big tournament that we can actually come and cover that is, like, common. men out there, common crew, common golfers.

Let us know. We'll come out. If we can make it happen, if it's feasible, if it's scheduling and all that, we'll be there. If we talk about, like, a lot of the members at the clubs are probably, like, you better go fucking perform. You don't think they're checking that shit? Yeah. Like, our club pro just shot like an 89.

Like, what the fuck am I paying him for lessons? Timmy's giving me lessons and, like, checking me in for my tournament? I want to know what he's shooting after. I want to know now. Yes. It's like you go and you get a haircut from somebody and they got a horrible haircut. Yeah, it was crazy. You're like, well, I mean, what are we doing?

in here. Did I tell you what the fucking barber did did to me the other day? I'm sorry to me to get to it. Just really quick. Well, I mean, I don't have bad hair. People always say, like, they're surprised to see me have hair, right? Because I was where I have. Always, yeah. But anyway, I'm like, getting ready for the wedding. You always get a little shape up, right? You want to

look nice. And I see it like, the guys like, oh, what do you think? I've said, it's great. Like, everything's good. But I see, like, a little flare up in the back. Like, can you just, like, what's that about? And he goes, oh, oh, there's nothing I can do back here. You're like, going completely bald. Come on. And I was like, I frantically, like, went out of the robe thing and smacked my head.

I'm like, what the fuck you talking about, man? He's like, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I was like, now you should be, I said to everyone in the barbershop, they heard, I made a commotion. I'm sure. I said, I can't handle that one. I was like, this man should be shot dead right here. You should be shot dead.

And this is a man holding a fucking razor to my neck, right? Like, this guy should be shot dead. And he's laughing. Like, you know, they know bars. We actually did a rundown at this barbershop. Oh, I'm like Park Ave barbershop. It's right next to my apartment. And so these guys all know, like, you know, the bar still stuff.

So they know how to, like, joke around and shit. But, boy, did that get me. That's like a doctor saying, like, yeah, you know, it's not looking good. Like, what? That's incredible. There's a little dark spot there on the X-ray. Dude, he's like, you're, like, completely bald back here. I was like, whoa.

Sir. Well, God you got through it. Connor. Connor, what's going on? Guys, how you doing? Doing great. How are you, my friend? Great.

Thanks for having me on. Appreciate it. You know, we really appreciate you waiting a little bit. technical difficulties, not really our fault. So we'll apologize, but not really because we didn't do anything wrong. No, all good. It happens. So you're a pro.

What's your, what's your, what's your situation? I'm just moving out to South Carolina. Actually, we're in the middle of an evacuation as we speak. Oh, wow. I live on the Carolina's coast. So with Hurricane Dorian coming up, we had to make her way out of town. So we're making a little vacation out of it, me and the wife. Where are you going?

We're in that Greenville. South Carolina. Isn't that where I'm going? Or is that, that's by Clemson, right? Yeah, yeah, a couple, maybe an hour and a half in Clemson hour. So that's all going to be good. We're not going to get, I'm not going to get rained out from all that stuff. The hurricane's not going to go up to Greenville?

No, no, it's going to be. The hurricane's hitting where I'm from tomorrow and it will still be 90 degrees in sunny here. So you'll be just fine in Clemson. All right. Have you ever had to evacuate before? I've been living over here for a month now. I'm from Portland, Oregon.

You just moved in, boom, evacuation. Got to go. Yep, got here, and I brought all the bad luck in town, so it's time to get out. So are you a pro somewhere? Yeah, I'm working at a club here in Charleston right now that I've been bouncing around. I'm actually technically not an assistant pro right now, but I've been working at an assistant at courses in Southern California for the last five years. So I got some couple good ones from back over there.

You know, all my days travel and playing as much golf as I possible. We cannot. I've never in my life been to Southern California. Oh, God, you're kidding me. Yeah. You're missing out. There's some good golf down there. I mean, really, you guys got it pretty good up in the New York area, and the East Coast is, you know, it's where it's at for really good golf. But there's some great golf as well down there for you guys, so you got to check it out. No, I know there's awesome stuff there.

There's a punch. I really, really want to play. I hear it's great. Weather's fantastic. It looks like a cool vibe. I've just, for whatever reason, my, you know, my travels have never brought me there. It's a sad thing. So what, you got any crazy stories from, you know, your years on the job?

Yeah, I got a couple. I'll be pretty quick with this first one. So the first year when this happened, I wasn't there for this one. I was there for the following end of the story. So Justin Bieber comes out to the course that I ended up working at for a couple of years. And, you know, he rolls into the pro shop. He's got a whole entourage and he doesn't even check in for himself. And what he does is he purchases three consecutive tea times at $199 a pop.

per player for the foursum so that's $800 a tea time so we're talking what 2400 I know Frank is not a math major but $2,400 we weren't going to leave that up to Frankie did he say Frank is not a math major in there I think he said I don't know he said he's not a math major no no no so $2,400 let's say so he paid $2,400 for the three tea times ends up going out maybe an hour and a half into the round seven eight holes in next we know we're looking out and he's coming in, riding on top of the golf carts, spread eagle, I mean, like a starfish. Out of his mind.

Come on. What year is this? Not even kidding. This is during Coachella, so let's just put it into perspective here. So it was that time of year, maybe this was probably four years ago. So what are we talking, 2015, 2016, one of those two years. Sounds about right, yeah. Try to do a little timeline in my head.

So they were just going, they were just blitzed getting after it. Oh, just him. I mean, the other guys were just chilling in the golf car, driving him around. And he was just getting after it himself. I wonder what goes through his mind that morning. He's like, I'm going to just, let's go to this golf course so I can just get ripped up. And I'll get on top of the golf cart. You guys can just stay.

It might have been a couple-day bender. Yeah, true. Or who knows if it was even anticipated me, like, you know, maybe on the second hole someone like slipped him something. Like, hey, you want to have fun? And he's just on the top of the golf cart like three hours later. He was partying, that's for sure. And then the next year it was pretty great because he comes back.

And same deal. He comes in the golf shop and he's checking in. And then my assistant pro goes, they're the first assistant at the club, he goes, all right, no riding on top of golf carts this year. And, I mean, you should have seen his face. He was so shook. No way. It was just hilarious.

Oh, yeah, he just gets all. I want to apologize. I'm really sorry about last year. That won't happen again. That's nice. He made an 18. without getting too wild this time around so to his credit he got it got it done i will say that's nice that he apologized and all that because he could have easily been like go fuck yourself of just a

beaver like no yeah i was actually there for that second time when he was the apology i wasn't there for the first year that was the secondhand story but the year when he came back and my first assistant called him out i mean it was pretty classic just to see him shook like that that's amazing it was it was great so then real quick second story i was at another class in Southern California working for a little while up on the California coast.

And Michael Jordan, he would come into town for two weeks at a time for a basketball camp and he'd go to basketball camp in the morning and then he'd come and he'd play 36 holes a day

and he'd buy out an hour at tea times for 14 guys but they wouldn't play in foursums or threesome they're playing in a 14thum and it's one of the craziest things you've ever seen. What?

14? Yeah. Oh yeah, 14-sum and they're These guys are playing a 14th and then three and a half hours. I mean, they're hitting over each other's heads. Jeez. Money's flying all over the place.

It was pretty cool, though. I mean, he comes in. I help him get his bag out of his car. He's got this big, beautiful, elephant leather golf bag. He hands me a, anything else can get for you. Oh, yeah, don't forget these. He gives me a gallon-sized Ziploc bag about three-quarters of the way full of Cuban cigars. Wow.

I mean, he has a Cuban cigar on his mouth the entire time he is out there. It was pretty, you know, the stories you hear, for at least the ones I had heard, it was pretty classic MJ. I mean, he was an intimidating human being, but it was pretty cool at the same time. Just right on brand for him. That's pretty much what we've all heard about. Right on brand, exactly. That's awesome. Well, hey, man, we appreciate the stories, and good luck, you know.

Hope you guys are safe. You find some safety and ride this thing out, no problem. I appreciate it. Let me know when you guys are in South Carolina. We'll get you out at the club I work at and play some golf. I wouldn't regret it. Done deal. We'll make it happen.

Thanks for calling in. Absolutely. Thanks, so. Halfway through the second Bieber story, Lurched text me, and he goes, who's he talking about? And he said, Bieber. You must have missed the name the first time? Yes, I missed it the first time.

I didn't hear it. I texted him in Bieber, and he's like, that's huge for the story. That makes it very noteworthy that this is happening. Can't even Matt. Yeah. Could be anybody in the world. I mean, I knew it had to be someone like famous or something like that. By the way, he was telling it, but I was like, I don't know who this is on top of

He's like, could it be shack? Who is this guy? It's like just me. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's a story. I talked to a guy recently works in a pro shop. I'm not going to say the course of the guy, but he said Bruce Willis comes in all the time and plays quite frequently. And he says, he comes in and always plays like the same person.

And he said whenever they come in, the other guy always books the tea time under his name, the other guy's name. Every single time. And he's like, and Bruce Willis buys like a new pair of shoes every single time he comes in a new pair of golf shoes. Yeah. That's bizarre. Is that amazing? He's got to have his feet got to kill, right? And also, like, how much golf does he play then?

How often does he come in? Maybe he's just crazy. I forgot those shoes again. Damn it all. I said pretty frequently. He made it sound like maybe every couple weeks he comes in. Maybe he has a thing. He'll only wear a pair of shoes once.

Maybe he does that with all of his shoes, and we're just seeing the golf part of it. Maybe it's because he's not as famous as Rory. It's going to say this is bad for your argument that a guy can just walk in and buy new shoes every time he shows up. I mean. Not really. It just shows how, like, powerful and famous he is, yeah.

That's a powerful and famous move. I might hit that guy up. I'm going to be down in a Chelsea South Carolina. He can't book it under his own name because he's Bruce Willis. You know, he's super famous. That's exactly why he does that. Yeah, right. He's so famous.

He can't even look him in Beaver. You think Rory Macroy could just call for golf course would be like, oh, Roy, Roy McRoy, can I have the 3 PMT time? Like, that doesn't fly. Imagine being the guy inside that club. Taking that one, hearing his voice and being like, Yeah. What's that?

No, go out today? My lucky charms. You're right. Neither of them can book T. and throw them by their own. No. You get what I'm saying. Oh, I love me lucky charms.

Oh, Rory Macalroy for three o'clock. No. Damn. You tried to get there with your lucky charms. You do. That's your runway. That's your runway. Oh, me lucky charms.

I love me lucky charms. Oh, Rory McElroy. Come in at three o'clock. No, that's not it. That's not his accent. Damn. Yeah. I appreciate you keep trying, but you're still,

you just don't have that one. I'll get it. I think the Irish. accent may be the hardest thing to do. Skin and body care, that's as good as Tiger at the Masters this year. You might remember he won. He won the Masters. But this is even a lot.

Cleaner, vegan, and natural to be exact. Orson Alps, we have talked about it before. This is a product that we heavily, heavily endorsed that we used, that we threw out. We all threw away in disgust, total disgust what we were using before. And we now are pure Orson Alps. They make natural deodorant. That's better than Jake Owen asking Phil Mickelson for his $29.99 back. It's not full of crap like aluminum.

We're out on the aluminum. We can't be filling up your body with aluminum. No, no, no, not good. Bad, bad, bad. That leaves nasty yellow stains in the armpits of your expensive golf shirts. Little science for you there. This deodorant, or is an ounce, actually works. Guaranteed to your money back.

Keeps you from sweating and stinking. You'll need that because it's going to be hot. I know it's September. It's still going to be hot. We haven't quite gotten a quarter-zip season forever every couple days here and there. It might be a little Coo Zippy, but also it might be 90, 95 degrees. And in here it's a little chilly, but outside it's actually hot. That's why I need Orson Alps.

You can save 15% on your first order when you use code 4Play at OASKinecare.com. That's the letter OASKare.com. OASKinecare.com. Use code for Play, aluminum alcohol, sulfate. It's the best product I use on my body. Paraben, cruelty-free. I use it every single day. I used it when I played tennis.

I was sweating like you wouldn't believe. No one smelled me. Is that right? Oh, yeah. I haven't stopped using it. I almost forgot it. And it almost ruined my day. Like, I was in the car.

I'm like, oh, my God, did I pack deodorant? And then I ran it. And someone's like, oh, you can get the deodorant at like the hotel. I was like, no, you can't get that. I need orders and outs. I said, you simply can't get it there. You have to order it with the code four play. Like, you can't just get it there.

You have to order it. And I have it. And I got to go get it. No kind person trying to be positive. You cannot get it there. I'm not going to use one of these big deodorant brands that are going to put yellow pit stains. Think about if yellow stuff is,

think about if you put it on a t-shirt, you take it off and you have yellow stains underneath your arm. How is that healthy? It's not. It's not. That is legitimately changing the color of your clothing because there's there's metals and toxins in there. That's insane. What have we been doing?

I have so many white t-shirts with yellow stains on. What if you just bit off and then chewed and then like swallow the chunk of like aluminum? I think you just die. Right. And why would you then put that all over your arms that create yellow stains in your t-shirt yellow stains that'd be dumb oh so good and body wash i've been using the body wash oh so good oh a skincare dot com that's the oa skincare dot com code four play 15% off your first order you are welcome tyler what's up what's happening boys how you doing man good man how are you we're doing great so you uh you got

some stories being a pro working around the golf scene yeah man i'm an assistant at nassau country club in Long Island. Ooh. A lot of Long Island for you, Frankie. I've heard good things about NASA. So, a lot. Everybody out there? Yeah, we just finished up club championship, Labor Day stuff this weekend.

End of the 100-day war, so. Do we call it the 100-day war? 100-day war from Memorial Day to Labor Day. That's part of the busy season is around here. You guys are just slammed out there. Everybody comes out. Yeah, we're slammed for the most far, yeah. Well, you made it through the 100-day work.

Congratulations. You made it, boy, thanks. So we've talked to a couple of assistant pros, and is it across the board that you guys just don't play that much golf because you're just constantly working and you're just constantly working all these, you know, like member gas and constantly like putting on new fucking grips on people's putters and shit and doing lessons? Like, are you playing less golf than people would think? Because you say, like, oh, you work in NASA, you're assistant pro. What a fucking life. You just play golf for a living. It's like, it's more grinding than that, yeah?

Yeah, that's what everyone says. And they're like, oh, man, we play golf really. It must be pretty easy. I'm like, dude, I'm sitting in a shop for like seven hours a day. Yeah, it's four hours of junior clinics and like babysitting kids here. Like, like, oh, why don't you play after your shift? It's like, I don't want to be here longer than I have to anymore. I've been here for like 10 hours today.

Yeah, makes sense. I want to go home and just chill. It just kind of takes a meeting on you. That's understandable. It's like that with anything, right? Totally. My dad sometimes doesn't want to come back from Italian restaurant and go to, like, Like he doesn't want to come back from work and like where are we going for dinner?

It's like, oh, we're going to an Italian restaurant. I was like, what the fuck? Like, I just left there. I just left something like that, you know? Like, we don't listen to a pot. Like, I won't like, I won't end this and I'm not going to go listen to a podcast tonight. Definitely not a barge or one. No, yeah.

Since I started doing this with you guys, I listened to no podcast. Right. So, yeah, it's like that with everything. But yeah. Specific, like the one that I, like, I know in that's just the way life works. When you do something, it's always like, you know, grice is always green on the other side. But for Assistant Pros, it was more eye-opening. I thought that they played a lot more golf than...

You know what I do when I leave here? Put music on for like my 12-minute commute home. I just like to just not check my phone for like 12 minutes. That's nice. I can't do that or else I'll have an aneurysm and a heart attack thinking Dave texted me. But go ahead with the NASA talk. Yeah, so I got a jukey for you guys. It's probably one of the more bizarre stories I've seen in the golf business.

Wow. It's actually a few weeks ago. Like a Saturday afternoon, we had two guys out there probably five to six trannies deep. Okay. So, I mean, that's all good stories are right? Yep, those are transfusions for anybody counting back there. Yeah, so these guys, I guess, they're starting off hot. The guy drove a car through the bunker on the ninth hole.

Start out hot. Yeah, it says, plug, classic, yeah. But on the 11th hole, see. I guess they're so banged up. They pulled the entire pin out of the hole, which included the cup. So the caddy wasn't really sure what to do. Another caddy saw it and be like, hey, guys,

we can fix it when you guys go in. You can clearly tell they're intoxicated. And one of the guys drove the car like onto the fringe. Like, no, no, we'll fix it. We'll fix it. We'll fix it. Another catty came running over. It says, hey, guys, why don't you go in?

We'll take care of it. No issue here. And the one guy who just became irate and he started cursing out the caddies and being like, who they f are you, blah, blah, blah. One of the caddies that come in and grab the head pro, who had to run out there with the card to get the guy that was going nuts. And the guy was cursing out to the head pro too. And he was like, oh, man.

And what do you get doing that situation? So he brings back to the locker and he says, hey, do you take a shower or something to sober up? We'll take care of a good ride home. And guys like, yeah, yeah, okay. Head pro's gone for like two minutes in the locker, and the guy slides out the front door into the parking lot, starts kicking all the members' cars. What?

Jesus. Makes it out to the main road, which is like along the course, the night pole. He's like, he's stopping oncoming traffic, like banging on cars. Those weren't only transfusions, I guess. Yeah, he was a little bit heavier. Yeah, he must have been eating something. But, uh, so I had probably, like, chased him down.

The man, well, this guy is stopping oncoming traffic. Uh, he, like, cuts him off. There's a train station, like, 100 yards behind the night feet. And, uh, the guy gets up on the platform, and he turns into, like, an Olympic age. And he tries to, uh, he tries to jump on platform, which is, like, what, it's, 30 feet, something like that. And he makes it probably a solid, like, maybe three. And the lands on a train track. Jeez, this is a nightmare.

So at this point, this guy's, like, knocked out. I think he banged his set on the railroad tire. Oh, my God. The head pros down there being like, I don't know what's going on, man. And lucky there's people there else. Like, you couldn't give it off the track. He would have got to smoke. Yikes.

I got to tell you, once he's off the property, I'm just like, not my problem anymore. Just not my problem. Just kicking cars and then going on the street. Look at that crazy guy out there. Where did he come from? Yeah, so that was one of the more bizarre. things I've seen this year. That was this year.

A couple weeks ago. That was like two weeks ago. How did I not see that on the news? You still may not have recovered. No. Two weeks. Face is still on the track. Two weeks.

He's hiding. He's just like in his bed right now being like, oh. Just coming out of the coma. Man. So at least you guys survive that one. What were his buddies doing? The other guy was just in the locker room. He's chilling.

shower didn't know what was going on. Didn't know that he had this maniac just wreaking havoc all over town. Jesus. That's crazy. That comes out of the clubhouse with his like his shoes and his bag and he's like smelling the fresh air like all right time to go where's my buddy

and he's just like you look out there's like a tornado went through cars or like on the side of the road so he's playing GTA and he'll follow up there. Took bath salts That's some crazy shit Yeah that is

Tyler we appreciate the story man That's crazy shit Yeah man anytime guys All right have a go We gotta get out and play there So yeah we'll probably just ask ourselves For an invite This is the thing that people are going to notice

Is the only reason we did this show So we can get direct contact With the people that can get us onto the golf courses That you work at Huge factor So you know we talk to Tyler We're going to be a Nassau All right boys we'll get you out there

Appreciate it take care man All right thank you Yeah, no, that's an obvious perk. Obvious perk. We can talk to anyone in the world. We're deciding to talk to the guys that can get us off a T-T time tomorrow. These guys literally handle T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-Ebs at Sick Golf. I'm going to be back on Long Island Sunday.

I may be playing NASA. Not your worst decision. No. I might go play it with you. Yeah. Just don't be the guy on his face down on the train tracks. It's probably still flesh just sitting down there. Right, like going in, you're just like, all right, I can't be worse than that guy.

So everything's good. Wow. Colin, what's going on? Great, how you doing? Really good. I love to do that. Really? A little add-on?

Good. I'm at the Yankee game right now, so. Oh, does it say you just get late or something? What do you mean? Really good. No, because he said, I'm going to blowjapper right now. It's crazy.

Because he said it's good. And then he goes, well, it's actually really good. That's actually exactly about that. Yeah, he's like looking down. I'm actually getting a blow job right now. Whoa. I'm actually really good. It's really good.

You're about to be really, really good. I was really hoping somebody who's going to ask. Really good. How's the Yankee game? It sucks, you know what I'm saying? Call it that, bro. What's the Yankee score right now? I'm recording this thing.

What's going on? I think it's 2-0. I stepped away so I could hear you guys. 3-0-0. 3-0 now. Let's go. Hell yeah. So you got any crazy stories real quick?

I know we don't keep you forever here at the Yankee game. I don't want, I have a ton of crazy. story. So a little background on me, I worked in Dallas with a teacher named Chris Come up. So he was Tiger's former coach. He teaches like Bryson now, Jamie Lovemark, Trevor Embleman. So I have a ton of crazy stories, just kind of things I've overheard and seen and things for training of those guys. But when I was in Dallas, I actually just moved to Manhattan in February to work out of golf and body. But I was in Dallas at Dallas National with them, and Lee Trevino would come by Austin. And Dallas National had just built like a world-class teaching facility.

Tons of good technology. It's just sort of over the top. And Lee comes in one day and starts hitting bowls in one of the bays. And we've got a piece of technology called Swing Catalyst. I'm not sure if you guys are too familiar with it. But it's like a plate in the ground that measures kind of what the feet are doing and the forces that the feet are essentially applying into the ground. Okay. The things outrageously expensive, it's like, I don't know, $30,000 or something.

Comes in, these little black mat, starts hitting balls right off of the plate. And there's, I don't know, five or six of us in there. And none of us really had the heart to tell him that he's hitting balls off of. of a $30,000 piece of equipment. So, you know, Lee's a talker. He's just sitting in there 10, 15 minutes, just beating balls off this mat. And none of us had the balls to kind of step up and say,

you know, Lee, you probably shouldn't hit out there. But, yeah, that's tough. Yeah. So cool to see him a person and, you know, his action is kind of the same and hasn't really changed. but, you know, definitely an interesting experience. Was the equipment okay? Yeah, yeah.

I had to, we actually had to, you know, get it checked out afterwards, and, you know, it was good to go. The swing catalyst was pretty durable, but they definitely, one of the reps actually saw on Instagram video, I put out on it afterwards, and he was like, why is Lee Trevino hitting golf holes off of our technology? So, Como, I mean, any crazy tiger stories from him? Oh, I have tons of crazy tiger stories.

Unfortunately, I'm kind of bound to, like, confidentiality. Amazing. So I can't get into. I just like to know that you do. That's almost better than a story. Totally. That was a test. That was a fucking test.

You know, he was taking care of the boss man, this crew right here. I love, I would not be where I am today without Como. So shout out to him. He's doing big things in the golf road. I don't know if you guys have watched his show Swing Expedition on the golf channel. It started a few weeks ago. Haven't watched it yet. It's good.

It's definitely interesting. It's kind of like the Anthony Bourdain parts unknown of the golf world. His philosophy is kind of drawing from all these different resources within the golf world and taking those different resources and applying them to sort of the individual in front of them. And so throughout the show, he's kind of highlighting different teachers and different instructional philosophies and styles throughout the game right now and sort of showcasing them. So that's pretty cool.

We'll have to check that out. You know, if you ever want to get a beer some time and trade, you know, just talk about our boss, man. Yeah. I don't have many stories for you about us listening. Yeah. I mean, he wants to be a golf ball. You guys are welcome at golf and body anytime, especially when winter gets there. Heard that place is great. You guys, a green grass in time, but we do have close to 30 or 40 different courses on our different simulators.

Golf and body looks otherworldly. Yeah, it's like a premium, like, high-class simulator place, right? No, it's, we do have the simulators. We have seven different simulators, but it's, so unique. It's very much, it's an indoor private club in the middle of Manhattan, but what makes it unique is sort of the approach that we fake. It's very much a holistic, you know, holistic approach, hence the golf and the body. And we kind of sort of explain it as, you know, tour guys have a team around them of physios and trainers and, you know, therapists and yogis and such. And so we, we try. to take that same mindset and that same approach to our members there. Interesting. All right.

Well, hey, Colin, we appreciate you calling in from the Yankee game. That's nice. Yep, go Yangs. Yeah. Quick plug for Tomo. If you guys want to check out any insights on a show, his Instagram at Chris Comegall. I like that. That's your guy.

You got your guy. Yeah, he also teaches out of golf and body now, too, as well as Dallas National. Let's go check out of golf and body. Yeah. Yeah. If you do one more plug, we're going to have to cut you off. One more plug I'm hanging up on you. I'm sorry.

No, we're kidding. All right, man. Thanks for the call. Enjoy the game. Cool. Thanks for having me on. Thanks, you got it. He did.

He just backed towards some promo. Oh, yeah. That was an ad ring. Another great option if you want to do a simulator, five iron golf. Love that place. Yep. Those guys are fantastic. Golf and body, like, yeah.

It's expensive. Five iron. I'm saying, yeah, that's five irons a lot more for, you know, for our speed. Yeah, everybody's a little different. yoga there though? Well, you know, we're not, by talking about golf and body isn't disparaging the good name of five iron golf. Like there's like Shinnecock.

Shinnecock is a great golf course, but I can't belong there because I don't have that kind of money. Golf and body, same thing. I mean, I look it up here. It's like $8,000 a year just to belong there. And then you got like, that's crazy. Yeah, you're doing a little reverse plug now. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Unplug. It's an unplug.

Wow. You just unplugged. Jake. Jake. Air. Just did a Calidap era. That's good. Were you going to claim that?

No. Okay. I didn't think you were. I didn't think you were. Joe, I mean, I did to him what you did to me with Tiger. You know, I wanted to ask Tiger Woods. Right. Who do you like tonight?

And I couldn't get it out loud enough for him to hear me. So you said, who do you like tonight? And he said, not my Laker. And then you said, oh, and then you acted as though that was your question. I did. Do you blame Trent for that? That's what, yeah. Like, no, that's, we've talked about it.

He saved the moment. Because Tiger was like, Tiger's kind of like, what? There was a second of silence. Yeah. And I was like, who you like tonight? It was filled with words. And it was my moment. And I fucked up.

Tigers was like, who are these two morons who love me apparently, don't know how to speak to me? Yeah. I rewatch the station question all the time and an underrated thing. It's not just because I legitimately was just as confused. And thank God that the camera wasn't really on me. Because I put my hands on my hips and I look to the right. And I just, and I just like, I had nothing.

And thank God Trent takes like the brunt of all of it because he goes, uh, well, not only is the camera not looking at you. Well, he says, uh, stairs like the sky. Tiger, look at you. And Tiger's not looking at you. Tiger's not looking at you. Yeah. You just wanted to break eye contact. Yeah.

Trent, where's the station? Yeah. He's just like, give me the information. Elgin. I don't know where it is. What station? What is the station? Tiger, let me ask you this.

Let me answer your question with a question. Are you talking about where are we? out of Pebble, where are we in New York or where are we right now? Where is Aramon? Because I don't have an answer for any of it. Where is Earth relative to the Milky Way

Galaxy? You could be asked to me anything. Just give me a hint because I feel like this moment is going on for us. Going to need more. You need more. There's just that screenshot of me just looking up like the moment's finally happening and I just don't know what the said. Is the answer up in the clouds? I'm going to look up that way.

Are you talking about the International Space Station? What are we talking about? Let's go to Josh, what's up, Josh? Hey, boys, how you doing? Great, how are you, man? I'm doing good. So my experience is more from a meat and potatoes beauty up in upstate New York.

Hell yeah. We got the common man golf for where I'm at. The funny story was I started there as a cart boy when I was 15 years old, my first job ever, went to school, graduated out of school, and came back, and now I'm running the course now, so it's pretty cool. It's my course I grew up on. So I got a lot of love for it, but we also have all kinds of players at the course. I can't even imagine some of the clientele you see.

Oh, man. I mean, it's so our round for 18 homes in the cart, it's $44. So we're, you know, not expect. Residents can play for $20. I mean, it is. And we got fast greens, the course, is in great shape. So my favorite story of all time is, you know, we got 120-person shotguns. tournament and it's going to be a show and we know it's going to be a show we have them every year

and we're getting ready we get the cut up everything to go so about three three and a half hours in the tournament i get a call from my 84 year old ranger on the walkie talkie stand stand calls me and goes josh we got a situation what kind of situation we have you go you need to get out to the cart you need to get out to the pond we got something going on Now, our court does one body of water on the course. We got one pond, one pond on the course. So here I go, I close the shop up, get in my car, go out there, and what do I see? I see a mammoth human being.

I mean mammoths. We're talking four bills. Ooh! Waiting in the pond. He's waiting in the pond. Okay? So I go out, I say, what are you doing in the pond? Good question.

Unbeknownst to me, the cart is fully submerged. Oh. Okay? Can't see the cart. Okay. Can't see it. So I say, you gotta get out of the pond. What are you doing?

You have to get out. He goes under the water. He goes under the water. A little while. And starts unbuckling his clubs off the back of the cart. Okay? I said, sir, I'll give you your clubs when I'm. get this cart out of this pond, but I need to get you out of the pond first.

He goes, it's a $220. Odyssey putter I bought yesterday. I'm hitting my putter before I get out of this pond. Okay, sir, get the putter. He gets the putter. It took six of us to get him out of the pond. He can't get out. He's rolling in the water.

He's trying to get out. Describing a rhino. Everything. Hippopotamus on a nice day at the Bronx Zoo. So he looks at me and as he gets out of the pond and goes, this is a bad situation. You're right. This is a bad situation.

So the only way to get this cart out of this pond is the core of the local tow truck company. They call it out of the pond. Nice. So we get the tow truck. We get them out on the course. The tow truck driver, I've never seen a tow truck or driver. So, man, no. He's got to get in the pond to hook up the car.

Oh, man. Oh, my God. Just send the 400-pounder back in. So he's just, I mean, he's mother effing everybody. He's telling him that he's calling him fat. He says, you bad ass, how can you speak that? I mean, it's getting ugly at this point. So he gets the car out of the pond.

It looked like it just got out of the Atlantic Ocean. I mean, there is just algae, weeds, everything. Long story. short. $4,000 in damage, car completely totaled, right? A little bit more than the potter. I said, I said,

uh, sir, I got the bill for the cart. He completely told it. I need to order a whole new cart. $4,100 for the cart. He goes, okay, I get it. I get it. It's my best, my bad. Comes up in the day with $4,100 in cash and said,

here, here's the money for the cart. Wow. That's unreal. Stunning. This was six years ago. I have not seen. and ever since then he's never come back to the court. Wow.

Should have named that card after him. 4,100. I mean, I'm impressed that he just was like, yeah, no problem. Here you go. I love picturing. I said, sir, I can't really take cash. It's a municipal court. This is run by the city.

I mean, if I take $4,100 in cash, I know they're going to, he goes, well, I'm paying me cash or not. I said, okay, I'll take the cash. You're not going to not take the cash. No, sir, I need some other form of payment. Yeah. No. Man, that guy rolling around of that water.

Rolling around got me. It's just, and then him being like, as he's rolling around, around like this is a situation. It's a bad situation. It's like, whoa, I really caught something here tonight. How do you guys are ever up in the Saratoga area? We love to have it. It's a great long course time to take the way because I have to serve it.

What's it called? Take a roll. Oh, you're cutting out. Yeah, bad service. Cut now. You got to plug that course. Oh, boy. You can hear me for a park golf course.

Troy, New York. It's about a half hour on the track. Troy, New York? Troy, New York, yep. About 30 minutes. Still can't hear that. What's it called? Every time he says, of course, he gets out.

He's doing the opposite part. I got. Golf course. Is it Freer Park? Freer Park? Yeah, that's it. All right. We got it.

We got it. We got it. Free Park. Great story. We very much appreciate the call. Pons right by the road. What is seen that must be. You break it up at the perfect time because, I mean, now we're,

now we got the story. You nailed it. We appreciate the call. Thank you very much. That guy. That guy was great delivery, too. Just great delivery. And something about when he's being like, they told me to come out to the pond and we only got one pond on this golf course.

It's like, what the hell is going on out there? Dude, he said, when he said, the guy called him and said, we got a situation. That, that, I lost it. I knew it was going to be a good story. He was a very good storyteller. That was very funny. Appreciate that. The only thing I don't like is when at the end of the story, he said to make a long story short, that kind of, he told the whole story.

Yeah, but he was just that. That's kind of people say that to wrap up. I know, I know. It's just a little thing. What's your, put a little bow. You should have said to put a bow on it. Right. What's your restaurant thing about drinks?

Oh, when, when fucking people, when I was waiting and people, I'd say, because we don't put water on the table to start. You have to order it. Yeah. I mean,

when I was a waiter, I would like do it. I'd put the water out because I knew they were going to ask for it anyway. But I would say, can I get you guys anything to drink? And they'd go, no,

no nothing, just water. And it just fucking irked me. Like you wouldn't believe me. I'd just be like, in my head, like, oh, so you want nothing to drink? You just want to drink water? All the time. You know, you're the five guys guy.

But I never, like, no. Yeah, when you, when you, he would, you said to him, you know, I want a cheeseburger with like just ketchup. He'd be like, oh, so you don't want, like, the bun and the patty too? Not really, because they're saying they don't want something to drink, but they want water. Like, I, it always just rattled me. Hey, can I get you some of a drink? No, water's fine. What do you mean no?

Like, that, like, say, yes, I'll please. I'll have a water. Yeah, I'll have a water. Yeah, I'll have a water. Can you get you some of a drink? Water's fine. No. Don't say no.

Don't dismiss water like that. It's the most important drink in the world. That's true. Have you ever thought about the fact, you know, that people, like, when you say, would you like a drink, that they drink means something more choice than that? I don't know. I guess that's just. An alcoholic beverage, maybe a Diet Coke.

I mean, what that is, is that's just a guy who's been a waiter for a little too long. It's just like, I can't hear this shit anymore. Like, I used to work when I worked, when I was a security guard, and I worked in my guard check and truck drivers would come up. And they would always be like, hey, I was going. And they'd say, live in the dream. Everyone would say live in the dream. And it's like, after about the 30,000th time you hear that, you're like,

I fucking hate all of you. And you guys say living the dream. I'm going to lose it. Living the dream. Living the dream. Living the dream. Living the dream. What if they are?

It's sarcastic. You know they're not, man. You know they're not. They're not living the dream, these truckers. You felt the sarcasm. Oh, yeah. Okay. Every time.

Living the dream. At the gun share. Or the other one was? Another day in paradise. Yeah, that's sarcastic. They're out of the game. Living the dream is too, though. They're both sarcastic.

Come on. You're grinding, driving across the country in a fucking gigantic 18 wheel or truck. You're parking in like Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Talking to Trent. Talking to security guard Trent, like, what am I going to do with my future? What am I going to do with my future? It was your rapids. Shout out.

Thanks for a shout out. Eric, what's going on, Eric? Great place. I like it. Thank you. What's going on, boys? How's it going? We're doing great.

Thanks for holding. Sorry for the delay. No, it's all good. I appreciate you guys getting me on. I'll tell you a little quick story, funny story about tonight. So I was supposed to have a first date tonight with a girl, you know, real nice date, looking over the river and everything. And as soon as you guys had the technical difficulties, you know, there was no way.

I was passing up on the opportunity to be on the show. So now me and her are mini golfing right now. So I had you on speaker the entire time. Come on. Unreal. Hey, date. Absolutely. Absolutely.

What's up, Date? I hope you having a good time with Eric. I think she is. But we'll see. I'm beating her mini golf right now. So they might not be. Well, you got to be ruthless out there. That's what Tiger would just dust his kids.

You got to be competitive. And she can't take that. And she's not for you. You know that Tiger won the Masters this year? It's a good point. I did. And I'm glad you reminded me because it's a great feeling. Yeah, boy.

So I work at a man at a golf club, is right outside Harrisburg, PA. You know, if you're looking for a tea time there, there's this great place called Supreme Golf, where you can always get the best deal in golf. She's the fifth host. Killing it right now, Eric. I love that.

It is true. You know what it is. He's got like first date vibes right now. He's like, he's firing. That's an exciting feeling. He's trying to impress her. He's like, listen, I'm going to throw in a couple of inside jokes because I'm one of the boys. I love it.

I love this guy's by the night in paradise, Eric. He's crushing this date. Yeah, you got to do what you got to do. Yeah. So boys, I got some, so I'm also the assistant golf coach at York College of Pennsylvania, which is a D3 college in PA, but got that after I became a pro. I got some PAT, some playing ability test stories for you that are quite entertaining. I love the playability test.

So describe the playability test for anybody who doesn't know. So playing ability test is what you have to pass to become a pro. You play two rounds of golf, 36 holes in one day. you have to shoot under a certain score to be able to pass before you move on to all the bookwork and everything like that. So the first time that I'm taking it, I'm taking that at a course in Philly, I missed by a couple shots. It was, you know, nothing crazy, just missed by a couple shots. Okay. Second time I take it.

I play really well the first round. Second round, I absolutely shit the bet. Like, it couldn't have been worse. So we're making the turn on to the back nine of the second round. I stopped at the car. Me and my caddy, who's also the head pro or the head coach at York College, we stop at the car,

grab a six pack of beer for the back nine. And the one kid in our group is like, hey man, you're going to get disqualified. You're not allowed to drink. Dude, I'm a fucking thousand strokes over par. I don't care if they disqualify me right now. I'm not passing anyway. So we are then going on to the third round,

the third time that I think of playing ability test. First round, I shoot a 77. And this is at the Penn State Court, South and State College. You shoot 77 the first round. Okay. Second round, all I got to do is shoot an 80 to pass, and I become a pro. So I tell my caddy, I was like, no matter what, do not tell me where I'm at, I don't want to know how close I am, how far I am my way.

Like, I don't want to choke. So on number 17, I make, like, a 35-foot par foot. So walk up to 18 and look at him, I was like, I want to know where I'm at. because, you know, you could have to play the whole different depending on what you need. And he's like, I'm not telling you. I was like, tell me where I'm at. He's like, you can make double bogey and still pass. Now, I don't know if you guys know Penn State course at all.

Number 18 there is the easiest hole in the course, 18 handicapped, short par five. First round, I hit driver's six iron, like 20-foot tap in birdie. Second round, he tells me what I need to do. I'm feeling confident as hell, walking up to the T-box, knowing I. I can make double bogey on the easiest hole in the course. I step up on the sea. I blacked out. I didn't know what happened.

I was shaking. I couldn't even stand over the golf ball. Snap hooked my T shot into the water. So my caddy, he ended up being a four caddy. And just to keep an eye on my ball. And one of the rules officials was up there standing the next to him. He sees me snap hooking into the water. And he goes, well, this kid's not passing.

And he's like, well, actually he still does have a chance. So get up, take my drop, hitting three. top the ball into the water again. Oh, no. Never been so nervous over a golf shot in my life. He's Trenting it. Oh, no. Yeah, so, yeah, exactly.

So I choked and top it into the water. I got my head down, like, getting ready to just fall apart. Like, I can't believe you fucking blew it here. I hear the two guys that I'm playing with going, go, go, go, go. So I look up, my ball skipped the entire way across the water, stayed in the hazard, but it was dry. So then I had another shot, hit a five iron from like, just try to get it up there, get it up there. Hole shank it underneath the tree.

So at this point, I am underneath the tree 115 yards away, and all I can do is just poke it out, try and get up anywhere near the green, and hope that I'm not Frankie Butterknives and blade it over the green from my next shot. Oh, Seth. This isn't about me. So I end up hitting a five iron. from 105 yards just to be able to punch it up there. It skirts through all the bunkers, rolls to eight feet. I look at my caddy.

I'm like, are you sure I don't have to make this putt? Like, I absolutely, are you absolutely sure I don't have to make this putt? He's like, no, you're good. You can two put this and you'll be good. So I miss the putt. Tap in for the double bogey. I think that I'm good. We go up to the scoring table and we go over the scores

and the guy had the wrong score for me on one of the whole. holes and had it that I missed it by one shot. I was getting ready to, like, just fucking fall apart and start cried and everything because I was just, like, still heartbroken. And then we, like, went through the holes, everything. And they ended up finding out that I passed right on the number. Jesus. What an emotional roller coaster.

How does that on the edge of our seats? I'm telling you, like, I didn't swing a golf club for three weeks after that. I was like, I want nothing to do with golf. Like, I do not want to, I can't put up with golf right now. I will say, Eric, you're a pro, but barely. that's putting it nicely. I'm the assistant coach at York College, and they consider me just like the volunteer bus driver.

So, I mean, they're, they're, we're scraping at the bottom of the barrel here. I'm going to say you can't teach anyone how to, like, play under pressure because you just fall apart like a paper mache. Well, you know what they say, like, those who can't do coach. So I'm like the destination of that. I like that. Don't do what I did.

Exactly. And clearly the team already knows that. They don't listen anything I say anyway. But also, like, when you, like, I mean, I know this all the time when people have like huge tests that they have to pass. My girlfriend has all these registry tests that she has to pass. And like it's all like bullshit stuff that you know the answers to. And then when you come down to it and like you're answering these questions and like she's

been studying them for four years it feels like. And then like you're like, oh fuck I black out. Like you don't know what you like you end up. I remember she studied for this thing to become a to do cat scans. And it was this whole big thing. Finally took the test. And she passed by like one point because like it's just like when you take the test and like what you're saying, you're black.

out. You just get nervous. People are bad test takers. And this is golf. And golf is like the hardest fucking sport in the world to play under pressure. So imagine doing a test with golf. Damn. I don't know what I'd do. I mean, it wouldn't be in that position in the first place. We do it on camera sometimes, you know? It's like, never-wracking, but we don't really care what we shoot, I guess. No, but like he needed to pass. You had to pass. I can make an 11 on video. It's almost better. It is better. We talked about that today. We had a whole meeting there. Actually, people care more when we suck. Way more. Eric, good luck.

Great job, Eric. Good luck on that date, buddy. Way to really get over your demons there. Sub date. No, no. Be respectful. Say what's up. No one's talking to the girl.

Why you're going to be so weird all the time? We said a little. Yes. What she's saying? What she said? He's taking a test right now too. We'll see. Oh.

That's a fire date. That's good energy on the mini-pot course. stuff out of the day. That's great. Good stuff. I love it. All right, guys. You have fun tonight.

That seems like fun. Have it. Good one, boys. All right. You too. Wow. Just. Not only does she have the best line of the call, but she sat through.

Like, they're just standing there. All right. Is he going to have the, uh. I mean, let's just, let's get down. Now, I love this podcast. I love you guys. I love Barstall sports. I love golf.

But man, you got to find something better to do on your first date. Like, I'm just going to come out and say it. You can't be calling into a podcast. Well, they were. What? Like he can't be like Like he waited online for what

Like an hour Yeah but you can put it on But he was really easily I guess so I guess He was going on a nice date Overlooking the river he said But then he really wanted to be on this podcast I mean you really wanted to go to an islanders game

I'm sure you skipped it There's a first date though Yeah no I'm with you I'm glad that he is a huge fan And he love him I love Eric needed needed that story I was a great story I mean I'm not savvy and suave enough to like call on a first day being like

I'm calling on this podcast Let's just hang out for a second Yeah How do you know it's going to work? She's like, no, you're fucking not. Or she's like, then I'm not going to go. It's very telling you, like, this is the only time to call in, right? Like, I put out a tweet and it's like, bro, you ain't calling in tomorrow.

No, I know. You want to be on this show. Priorities. Now's your time. Priorities. So he might have said to the date. Hey, I know this just sound weird. I listen to this podcast.

Are you into podcasts? I have this great story. And these guys responded on an email like, I might call in the show. She might have been like, that sounds really fun. Imagine if this thing goes the distance and they've got that first date. I mean, I know we're getting ahead of ourselves. I don't give a fuck what they've got. We've got that.

We introduced a couple that we're, you know, we're like, we're batting higher than the bachelor. I'm rooting for that. Because now they have something to talk about. Maybe they can go through and, like, show like some funny video. Like now they broke the ice, really, right? She's like, he broke the ice. What did that mean? And then you get to go online and you can check out all.

Look at this fucking idiot dread. And they can listen to the, they can listen to it tomorrow. Yes. Of them on the show? The first couple of four play. The first couple of four play. The first couple of four play. Think they're going to do some for play tonight?

I know. Yeah. Come on, baby. Imagine waking up. They will wake up, hopefully, you know, they do the foreplay, seals the deal. They wake up. They do the foreplay.

He wakes up in the morning and he's like, let's throw on this podcast and listen to it. Like, yeah, man, that's us. You think they're going to fuck to our podcast? No. That would be weird, man. It's not the office. That guy.

A lot of people fuck to the office. Maybe more fucking to the office than any other. Yeah, because that's kind of a lazy end of day. You put that on. You know what's going to have a night. the office on. What was that guy's name who just called in? Eric.

Eric, keep us updated on this, your situation. Your dating situation. The official forplay couple. Yeah. Find his email. I'll follow up.

Hey, keep us posted. How did the date go? She sounded like she, I mean, that was a funny little roast. Totally. That was great.

That was incredible. Yeah. That was awesome. Taking a test right now. How about you guys? I said, sup and like it got here to talk. So sorry. No,

we said, Hey, date in the beginning and you did this whole. She didn't respond. Well, that's because we were talking to him. Maybe I just know this couple better than you. Maybe I just know this couple better than you just from, you know. We're ruined for Eric and date. Eric and date.

I'm rooting for them. Travis, what's going on, Travis? How much, guys? How are you? We're great. Apologies for the delay. Travis, what do you think about that whole thing? Are you on a date right now?

I'm not on a date. I'm actually sitting in the back, waiting to go back to work. Oh, at a golf course? Of course at a golf course. So what do you do? You're a pro? I am general manager, head professional, a little bit of do everything because nobody else well. You're in Iowa?

Is that right? Yeah. Shout out John Deer Classic and Trent. He's got nothing. What do you think about the John Duke Classic? I mean, you're a high-level golfer. You seem like you have a nice head on your shoulders. No, no, no, no, no.

We're golf professionals, not professional golfers. Ooh. It's true, but like, you still got to pass that test that guy just talked about him barely pass him. I mean, I don't think saying you're a high-level golfer is wrong, right? I mean, that's a grueling process, by the way. Depending on how good you are. So do you stink at golf? Is there you telling me?

I've taken it twice. I missed it my first time, and I missed by one stroke my second time. What do you got to break? You got to break like 80 or 78 or something? It's different depending on the courts you play. So it's like 15 over par maybe. Over two rounds? For two rounds back to back, and it's, like, continuous.

So you play 18, and you don't get, like, an hour break or two-hour break. You go right back out on the golf course. Interesting. It's pretty fucking hard, man. That's pretty good golf. Just hope you have it that day. Yeah. Like, have it.

Or just take it three times and hope you don't melt down like Eric. Still pets? Well, yeah, and that's probably, like, the toughest thing, because you go out there, you have a number you don't want to go above instead of just going out and playing. Right. shooting a number. Right. That would be mentally a battle. Oh, yeah.

Every bogey, it's like, there goes one. Tough. What Eric, you didn't want to know where he was, but you know exactly where you are in your head. That's what I was thinking the whole time he was talking about, like, don't tell me, Katty. It's like, you have to know. No, you don't. You never just gotten out of your mind before and played? I have, but in this case, I feel like I would definitely know.

You're thinking about it. Like, if I had that many strokes to give, I would know. Yeah, I mean, like, when you're just playing, you know. So you think he was just lying? No, I mean, it's different people, you know, different people, different opinions, different approach. For me, though, I know that if I had 15 to give over 36 holes, I double boge. Now I've got 13, pretty simple. Yeah, I mean, there's some people that are definitely more mentally tough than myself.

So you got any crazy stories? Actually, nothing too crazy, but a cool playing story over the last couple weeks. We had our Calcutta big golf course I'm at right now. and our calcutta consists of an A golfer, a B golfer, and a C golfer based on their handicap. It's just a blind draw out of the hat, and we play a three-man best shot for 18 holes. Okay. We had a eight-way tie for second place, so we had an 18 playoff for second place, basically, $600. And my brother-in-law, it wasn't even myself.

Duck hook, one really a duck hook, kind of pole-hooked his fee shot off of a 240, five-yard par four. I'm in a short golf course, so bear with me on this one. There's a pine tree left kind of right on the out-of-bounds line. It rattles around in the tree a couple times, kind of goes straight down the trunk and kicks up onto the green and kind of just to set the scene, and I should have done that before that. There's about 30 guys behind the green, and then about 20 to 30 guys up by the T-Boss

just because we had so many in the playoffs. Okay. And up on the T-box, you can't really see it rolling across the green, but all of a sudden all the guys up by the green start just going nuts, just going nuts just because it's getting closer and closer to the hole. And kind of like a master's moment for Tiger, it just kind of gets up to the edge of the cup and just sits there for a second, falls into the hole for an ace to walk off a $600.

No way. That's awesome. I mean, you can't even like make it up. It was just so crazy. and then let alone it's the second on the year. Second on the year? Second on the year? Second hole in one of the year.

Oh. And for that guy? Yeah, for my brother-in-law, he's like an eight handicapped. Unbelievable. That is. Yeah, and then let alone having 40, 50 witnesses to have a whole one in front of them. That's the other side of it. Was anybody filming by chance?

No, that's the crazy thing. Nobody was filming. I mean, you don't really think. 240 yeah right 245 yard shots like why would you film yeah and then see i'm playing in this also and getting up by the green we needed to birdie to continue in the playoff for third play fourth place fifth place and so on uh we kind of hit a shitty t-shot because you have to play into the fairway you can't play out of the fairway for our calcutta just that's how we do how we do it's I've always done it at this club.

Okay. So we have a chip to continue into this playoff. Same exact thing. I'm the last one to hit we need to make to go on. Same thing, kind of master's moment. You get the feeling like it's kind of a big vendor to the right. Chip on, it's just rolling. And you kind of get the club raised like Tiger.

You kind of get the slow walk and then just drops right in the hole and the double fist pump. It just goes nuts. I mean, you can't make some of the stuff up that happened in this playoff. And this is just with everybody watching. Is everybody just going crazy? Yeah. Yeah, there's literally 50 people going around the screen.

Just can't believe everybody's holding out? Yeah. So we get to the next tee box. And you guys are going to think I'm making this up. I got 50 to 60 people that can just say, this is absolute truth. Next T-box is the guy on one of the other team. He's their seagoffer.

He's about a 20 handicap. At a 155-yard par three hits it to three inches. It's going, it's going, lands on the green. It's rolling right on the top side of the hole, and it's literally sitting right behind the cup. You think it's in, and we get up there. It's about three inches away, and they walk off at third place in about $500.

Now, if that one I got in, I would have thought you're lying. Yeah, to be honest with you, I've seen two hole in ones here in the last month. Jesus. I witnessed them myself. Good for you guys. I was just saying you might have magnets on the holes, so we might have to get out there and play that play so we can get a hole in ones, Travis. I think that's our play.

You don't want to play here. This is a goat track. Well, honesty. I appreciate that honesty. Well, hey, man, we appreciate you waiting and good work, making sure everybody holds out. We've got to figure out how to do that. Yeah, no problem. Big fan of the show, guys.

Keep up the good work. Like I said in my email. A lot of us are very envious of you guys because you guys get to do a lot of cool things. And at least you're sharing it with us. We get to all see it. Hey, we appreciate the love. Thank you very much.

Keep up the good work out there. And thanks for the call, Travis. We appreciate it. Hey, thank you, man. We got to go there. We can just get home of ones and get out of there. Sounds awesome. That sounds sweet.

Yeah. Let's go to Tom. Tom, what's up? What's up, boys? How are we doing? Good, man. How you doing? I'm all right. I'm just drinking water and living the dream. Water's great, isn't it?

Most important drinking the world. Right, Frankie? It's the most important drinking the world. Living the dream. Frankie doesn't serve it, but it's good. I heard it. I heard it. Okay. Just one.

Oh, he mixed them both up. I like that. You just put that? Yep. Well, I just heard the water thing. Fuck off. Nice. I would almost.

Yeah. So what's up, Tom? Where are you work at? What do you do? So I was in the golf. I worked at, of course, in Morris County, New Jersey. And the members were interesting. The club got more play than any public course I ever worked at.

I mean, they'd even play on Mondays when they weren't supposed to. They'd come in at 3 o'clock, and there was no caddies. They used these things called the Bat Caddy. Do you guys know what those are? A bat caddy? Yeah, well, it's an electric cart, so it's a push cart, but you have a remote control. Yep, I see those things. They call them R2D2.

Those ones that, like, they look like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Things are sick. They're awesome. They're the best when the battery runs out in the remote and they goes into water. That always made me laugh. That always made me laugh. So, anyway, so I was an assistant pro at this club, and the members were really cheap, hence that they use the electric carts, and they would bring their own lunches

and not pay for anything and blah, blah, blah. So it was the end of the summer. I was fried. I liked to do practical jokes. So my joke was, I told the head pro, I said, hey, look, I know these guys are cheap, and I know we got some super glue. So let me see if I can put a little trick on these guys.

And you could see the cart path where they walked off of the 18th to the pro shop. And I had to stand out there to kind of kiss Mrs. Johnson's ring and Mr. Johnson's ring and ask them how the round was going. So at the end of the summer, I put a quarter down, and I super glued it to the cart path. And I watched this one group walk by, and then one guy tried to pick it up. He couldn't pick it up, and he kind of looked at me, and then kept walking.

Another old guy walked by. He saw something shiny. He tried to pick it up. So three or four groups walked by. Finally, I couldn't keep myself from laughing, so I had to turn around. I couldn't look at them as they walked by. I finally hear this one guy, and I hear like a scuffing to turn around, and this guy is digging in his foot and digging at this quarter to get it up.

and he finally gets it loose. He looks at me and he goes, look, I got a quarter and kept walking. And I couldn't stop laughing. I looked into the pro shop. The guys were rolling in the ground because they couldn't believe that this guy he literally took the bottom of his heel

and dug into the ground for at least two to three minutes to try to get this damn quarter up. I like that. I like the little jokes like that. I think of something my dad would do. Yeah, people are going to be cheap. They deserve to be made fun of by you.

Right. That's the way I thought, you know, and it's the golf business will fry you out, you know, September is you're waiting for the end of the year in the Northeast. Tom, I can tell you felt really fondly of all the members out there. Well, you know what? It got me a job in New York City, so I guess I shouldn't talk that much crap about them. How many times you see somebody's little R2D2 thing run out of battery and them chasing it as it goes into the water? Oh, at least 10 times of summer. And this course, they had to bring the carts, these little carts.

It was a three-tier, so the pro shop was at the top of the hill. And it was the practice green, then it was the first tee, and then it was the 18th green, which had a pond and a river. So you can imagine if it started from the top, and you got a 56-year-old guy with a bad hit, he wasn't going to chase that thing. Just bombing down that. Just gone.

Just like, nope, that thing's gone. I would turn my back on them as quickly as possible. Like, you know, I got to go. Got to go. See you guys. Yeah, I got to go out on the course, guys. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you because I wasn't going to go chase that thing.

Amazing. All right, man. Hey, we appreciate that. We appreciate the call. We appreciate your waiting. Sorry about the, you know, the delay. No worries, guys. And hopefully you're back at Forest Hill because I'm kicking myself that I can give to play out there.

You know, we'll definitely be back in Jersey, whether it's Forest Hill, which it definitely could be. It was a great spot that treated us phenomenally out there. classic was in forest hill we'll be in new jersey rather we're there whether we're somewhere else no matter what so you know keep your eyes open you got it and i'll be there thanks fellas thank you thank you appreciate it all right folks is our last one we got out of i kind of like uh that was one of the dozed off ones for me i dozed off there didn't hear where he said that's you that's your problem yeah no for me that's what i said i actually loved his voice he had a great Yeah, me too.

Storytelling voice. You know what he had? He had a great connection. Like, it feels like some people, they feel like they're really far away. That's like he was right in our ear. So here's what happened to me. I heard him at the end, like with the little joke with the quarter. And I was like, oh, yeah, it's something like my dad would do.

And then I realized that, like, was he, was he, like, making fun of the members? Is that what, is that what the joke was? Was he messing with people? Do you know, he's super glued a quarter to the ground? Yes. Yeah. Did you know that? I know that.

So then you know the story. I don't think he did. And then the guy was scratching at it and he couldn't. his heel for a couple of minutes. A little malicious. You're getting the story now, but that's the typically part before. He doesn't get it.

Guys, I haven't eaten since like 1 o'clock. Yeah, I'm starving too. Not that he doesn't get it. It said he just wasn't listening, right? Yeah. Which I do that. I've done that on radio many times. It happens too naturally.

And then I... Bieber. For example. Beber. I miss Bieber. Yeah. I was like, I love to know. Then you come to.

Then you come to, you know. What are we talking about? I can't this guy just pick up and fucking coat. Get it up. I think a little. He said something. And I was like, Uh-huh,

you know. This last guy's been on the line for an hour. Wow. It's an hour and a half. Let's get this guy on right. Yeah. Let's get him here. Adam, what's up?

What's going on? What's going on, fellas? Yes. You hero, thanks for waiting so long. I love the energy. I'm a little tired of that weight, but it's good. It's worth it.

Sorry, you ended up last guy on the line. You want to listen to the podcast tomorrow. You just listen to the whole thing. That's right. There was a good 30 minutes at the beginning where we didn't take calls. We just kind of did our little spiel. So listen to the first.

first 30 and then you got the whole fucking show. Yeah, you just listen to the whole thing. Exactly, exactly. So what's up, man? How you doing? What do you do? Where you work, all that stuff? Yeah, so I've been in the golf business for a long time since I was 18 years old.

And I'm in Greensboro now working at a golf tech coaching 100% of the time. But I've worked at some private clubs. I've worked at Duke University Golf Club in Durham for a little. little while. It sucked because I was a Tar Hill fan, but we got the job, Doc. Golf Tech's the one where they hook you up to that, like, harness thing, right? Yeah, yeah, man. We're everywhere. I got a buddy who works at Golf Tech in Hong Kong. You remember Bea Mahone from Granite? Yeah. Yeah, he's worked at Golf Tech forever, and he's been out ever since I moved to New York,

three and a half years ago, he's been at Golf Tech at Hong Kong. Great guy. Good golfer. Wild. Anyways. Golf Tech's pretty neat. We do it right. We do it right. No, it's good stuff. I went in and got like a, you know, he had me, he's like, hey, I got to train a guy. You come in get like a free consultation last time and everyone would call it one time. And I did. And they did. They hook you up to the harness thing to give you.

It's like, you feel like you're, you know, when Tiger used to do the Tiger Woods video games, which were awesome. It feels like back then when they would like show the clips of them putting all the little things on Tiger to digitally like recreate his swing for the video game. Yeah. Feels like you're doing that. Oh, okay. Which is cool. Good takeaway. I thought he was going to say something next.

No, your take was okay. Yeah, I thought he was going to go into more of what the golf tech was. That looks pretty cool. What you reacted to my whole little thing there was was you just said, okay. Okay. I might have just had my Frank. Everyone's got one. Everyone's got one.

Sorry, Adam, we're a little loopy. No, no, you're good. You're good. So anyways, continue. We can make anybody. We can put anybody at golf tech and probably make you pretty good. There's a picture of Santa Claus doing golf tech. I see it right here.

Santa Claus. Santa storms, Golf Tech, golf tech.com. And someone's, there you go. He's got a noodle on, he's got a noodle on Santa's back swing.

Like a pool noodle. Pool noodle. That's right. We use pool noodles. Hell yeah. I love your fucking voice, man. Me too.

God, I'd love to have some barbecue with you, you know what I'm saying? That's right. Hey, you got to come on down to North Carolina. Have some of that watery barbecue, you know,

that sweet shit. That's right. We'll get you some good barbecue. Get you down to Pinehurst. You get them to play at Pinehurst. Fuck, yeah. Yep. God, I keep hearing Pinehurst.

I got to get down there. Yeah. You often play Pinehurst or what? So I've got a buddy who's a caddy. I'm going to shout him out. His name's Ryan Moore. Ryan Moore. Ryan Moore.

What a name. Ryan Moore. He is a caddy. Ryan Moore. In North Carolina. Ryan Moore. Ryan Moore. And he's a looper down there.

He's been down there for a little while, but he wants to get you guys down there and play. It would. It's on our, it's on our radar. We're going to be there. sooner rather than later. Yeah, I mean, weather down here is perfect. Now is the time to come.

This time of the year is the perfect time. I mean, if we have to come now, we'll come now. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on now. I'd like to talk to my ball like that. Like you hit it on the back ledge. It's coming down. Come on. Come on.

Keep going. Go home now. Go home now. Go home now. Go home now. Fall down. Go home now. Go home now, ball.

Come on. Come on. Ryan more. Ryan more, that ball's got to get it up. Go down. Come on. I'm convinced everything I say doesn't even sound close. No, it's not. You're too baritone and just too muchy. Lurchy. So anyways, you got any good stories out and what are you got? Bruce Springsteen came. and say there's a hotel there that's on the on the grounds there so with the golf with the golf course

the hotel is right there and a lot of these guys came because a lot of their kids were in school at the university so Emmett was there for a little while Bruce Spring thing there and then one night I was working and I went downstairs to check with the cart guys make sure they were all good we're putting away like the last couple carts and up walks Kyrie Irving and Quink Hook, a couple of the other guys from the team. They all, you know, I just wanted to come over and check it out. They'd never been on the golf course. They had some girls with them, of course.

They'd probably been drinking a few. But they wanted to go for a ride on the golf course. And I almost denied them since I was a, since I'm a big Carolina fan. But I decided to let them hop in our cart, and we rode around, gave them a little quick tour of the course. And they came back, and Kyrie had just signed his big contract, gave me a, Nice little tip on the side. So that was pretty neat. What are you guys laughing at?

I mean, I was trying to go off mic. I wasn't laughing. I was telling him tell a story, man. It's just that. What are you guys laughing at? Guy waiting an hour to tell a story. I know. And I was listening.

We're listening. We're listening. What are we laughing at? Well, you know, he said, he said that... Very distracting. I know it was distracting, man. I couldn't help it. I tried so hard not to.

It's just that when he said, when he said Bruce Springsteen and... And what was the fucking name? Emmett Smith. We said Emmett Smith and Bruce Springsteen played. I was like, oh, that's fucking cool. And then he goes, yeah, we have famous people all the time. Emma Smith, Bruce Springste.

He said it twice. I got the giggles because he said it twice. And then I texted Trance and said those may be the only two people that have ever played the course to the point. To the point where he said the name twice. That's very disrespectful, I would say. I was not trying to text one on one in the middle of a radio. I was not trying to be disrespectful. But it is disrespectful.

Guy waited an hour. I agree. I think it's crazy disrespectful. I would own that it is disrespectful. Focus on the show. People love the show. The guy waits all day long. I love him.

We've been talking to him for 10 minutes. I love the guy. You guys don't have to scream on each other. Yeah. This guy's great. So anyways, Adam, continue. No, it was, they took the tour.

We came back. Kai Rie gave me a tip. I mean, we talked for a while. It's just fun to see some of those guys that play on the basketball team. And a lot of guys don't, a lot of guys hate those guys, but they're fun to be around.

had a lot of fun times there. So they're good guys? Yeah, actually, they are pretty good guys. I don't claim to hate them like most Carolina fans do. Despite the fact that you wanted to hate them very badly. Yeah, I wanted to, really bad, but they're pretty nice guys. Is the Duke track a good track for a college course? No, it's a great track.

They hold a lot of tournaments, Carolina section tournaments. It looks sick. I like the hotel's like right behind. What is that the 18th green? So, yeah, the putting green's right there and the 18th green bucks right up to the putting green. It's pretty cool. The hotel almost looks like in play. Well, for me at least.

Well, blade one over the green. It's not too far out of play. Why do we look? You could definitely hit one thin and blade one over the green. That is tough, like you said. up there on the 19th old drinking a beer with somebody. Oh, yeah, and if I was coming up there, you know, people would definitely be running for the hills.

But to go on your point where you play or you have to work at somewhere that you didn't like or university, it's like, I don't even know if I'd be able to work for, like, the New York Rangers. They would just eat it, eat me inside. Yeah, that Duke UNC rivalry. I mean, that's obviously one of the most storied rivalries and all. A massive robbery. No doubt.

I'm amazed. Did you ever, I mean, did you ever pull anything? Do you ever, like, stop? on something you weren't supposed to stop on tar heel blue so yeah I would uh on certain days I would uh if I worked with a a certain employee who was I mean obviously a die hard Duke fan I would wear like a lighter blue shirt or uh smart something like my Carolina shoe I've got some Carolina shoes I would wear those just to fit them off a little bit it just rub them a little best blue in the game has to be that's coming from Yankee fans got a nice navy blue

Best blue in the game for sure. But Tar Heel's best blue in the game for sure. Absolutely, no doubt. All right, Adam. Hey, man, I know he made you wait forever, so we apologize for that. But appreciate the commitment. Yeah, no, no problem. I enjoy the show.

And, again, just want to shout out my boy in Pinehurst, Ryan Moore. Ryan Moore. The best looper in Pinehurst. Hell yeah. Love that. We got to write that down. When we go there, we got to get Ryan Moore. Write that down.

He'll get you hooked off. and it'll be the best experience you've ever had down in Pinehurst. Ryan Moore. Ryan Moore. Say it one more time. Ryan Moore. That's great. Come on.

All right, Adam. We appreciate it, man. Thanks for a call. Have a great rest of the week. You too, buddy. Thanks. Take care. Bye-bye.

That was good. All right, folks. That was a lot. What was that phase? You gave an oof at the end. Yeah, I'm in my back stiff. Sitting down all fucking day. Hungry.

I'm starving. I'm hungry. 9 10 and 8. Is it 910? You haven't eaten since 1 o'clock. DoorDash. It's time for DoorDash. I did pizza review, straight to radio, straight into this.

Not to say it's fucking a lot, but. I got a fantasy draft running right now, too. Do you? Yeah. 9 p.m.? Yep. A couple guys that I used to coach. It's a league.

Live? Live. Well, no, not live. I mean, I guess. Not live in person, but live on the World Wide Web. All right. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

Hell yeah. I got nothing else to say to you. Come on. Pick a good team, Lurch. I'm hoping I do. That was a good. talking to those guys. Come on.

Great. Yeah, that was different than anything we've ever had. Because, you know, some of the other ones, sometimes you feel like getting similar stories, maintenance versus like superintendent. That was very different. Very much, though. A lot of perspective. Our first date.

Pons came into a couple times. Ponds. Two ponds. I figure everybody about get some ponds. These guys, like, essentially, like, run the day-to-day operations at these courses. 100%. Oh, yeah. Big time.

All right. That's it for us. Hell of a show. We appreciate everybody who called in. Who took the time, who waited. We had technical issues. Thanks for a tech team to figure it out. Like we said, which I don't think was their fault,

I said it was working all day long, and then boom, right when we went to actually record the show, it just didn't work. That's a little bit unfortunate. About an hour and a half delay, those people continued to wait, and we got it done. So thanks to everybody. Thanks to all the listeners.
