Labor Day weekend, you guys are listening to this on Tuesday. We're recording on Monday because, you know, the golf podcast game, doesn't sleep, doesn't end. Bronte Law, LPGA Tour winner on the show. We did about 40 minutes.

40 minutes with her. She's cool. She's English. So now we've got, I think we've got our two euros now. We've been in the hunt. We've been on the search. My brain's fried, by the way, for this weekend.

We have a big wedding weekend. You sound horrible. There's no way of getting around it. I feel horrible. I don't feel like I sound that bad. Do I? No, you sound fine. Thank you.

What was that? It's a little. Well, I have the headphones on. I have the headphones on. So your rasp is getting deep. And it's just, I mean, you're fighting through it. Before we were recording the podcast, you don't sound crisp.

Lurch was out there. we thought an alien was going to pop out of his stomach. He got feeling like, there's something in my stomach. I don't know what I did, but like the right lower half of my stomach is like, I mean, I know what you did. I pulled it. You just drank and partied all weekend. It was just one section.

Maybe you pulled something while you're a wedding dance guy. You're also like matching too well. That undershirt and that quarters of it matched too well. It looks like you look like an asshole. Thank you. I'm doing the Charles Barkley though. He's wearing a pink quarter zip that has like a little baby blue outline and then underneath the shirt is the perfect.

fixed shade of blue that matches the quarters of it looks ridiculous. It feels like Easter morning. Thank you. It's not a day after Labor Day when people are going to be hearing this. But yeah, it's just, you know, we're battling through this. So if we say really dumb shit, you know, I mean, it's, what you're supposed to do? Couldn't think of what a light switch was before we came on.

Trent goes, what's that thing? On off. On off. I saved him. He did. Light switch. We had a moment. Yeah. And he held his hand. It was poetic. I had to. He was saying, thank you. I was. That's how I sometimes express affection. Does he grab the arm? It's kind of nice. Well, that all started.

Bronte Law is on the show. Okay. It'd be great. You're going to love it. But that all started because Frankie was saying that he was talking about somebody telling jokes that they should put outlets at eye level, not at, like, knee level. Yeah, I can't remember who the comedian was. But he was, like, it was within one of these comedy specials I was watching. And it really, like, resonated with me.

And I, like, the guys, like, you know, you're always looking for fucking outlets. You're, like, reaching behind shit. I'm really. You're always in the worst spots. You're behind couches. You're like, why you don't have outlets? Like, outlets should all be eye level, like, right there. You plug it in.

That's it. But it's crazy to me because you're such a wires, hidden wires guy. And then also. You shaved Trent for weeks on the show for having wires exposed in his apartment. You'd have to make it look good somehow. Like you'd have to get a little shelf. But then at the end of the day, like, what are you going to have your phone dangling from the middle of the wall? It's kind of stupid.

I think it would just become commonplace if they were that way. True. And then what I was saying is that it was basically the argument against that is it doesn't look good. And I was saying the on-off light switches, that that's the reason why you could just put them next to the outlets and it'd be fine. some guy just walked in here he was the most scared person i think i've ever seen i believe that was a failing upwards host failing upwards host okay yeah i think he was one of this like he was just it is monday it's an off day it's labor day and they're they're recorded and they're grinding just like us and he probably walked into this studio thinking there's not a soul in this building

i mean he walked in here with a lot of fucking force tons of confidence so much confidence of a guy who was not expecting five guys that's kind of guy like he's probably thinking back to himself he's probably thinking back to himself like man good thing i didn't walk in there like naked or something That's how confident he was. Like, good thing I didn't walk in there with my dick out. Like, because I, he did walk around. He walked in here, like, the way I walk around my apartment. Exactly.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Yeah. And then he walked into five men just staring at him. Like, he could have easily walked in here, like, in the middle of a conversation with himself. Yeah. And then he was stunned to see this room happening. Stunned. Anyways, we are here.

We're doing the show. We got golf to talk about. I want to make a comment on Vermont, first of all. Yeah. That's where you were. Yep. Wedding was up in Vermont. Great time.

Awesome time. Ryan and Caitlin. Our very good friends got married. They have relatively small families and huge friend networks. It was a wedding where, like, everyone at the wedding was, like, a young friend. And so it was, the dance floor was a scene. There was just more people getting in the mix active than you've ever seen. And they did it on a Sunday.

So everybody's up there for the whole long weekend. We played Woodstock Country Club, which is the first golf course ever played in Vermont. It was just delightful. You got, like, the rolling hills kind of in the background. It was tough. The first, the front nine. It was incredibly narrow, incredibly narrow with water and whatnot everywhere. But my first course in Vermont, it was delightful.

We had this awesome deck scene afterwards where I posted up on the deck for like two, three hours long. We had like 10 guys out there. It was just nice. And you get that cool, crisp air. I was like I couldn't help but kind of like tweet about it on that. However, my other comment about Vermont, worse service across the board. Every restaurant I went to. So slow.

Oh, it's a slow. I thought you're talking about cell service, but you're talking about food service. Self service, fine. Cell service was okay. LTE. I was cruising. I wanted to want Vermont to know that their cell service is fine. I was cruising.

We went to, I think, four different restaurants. Is that right, Lurch? Oh, you weren't with me at all these. No. Because I was part of the wedding part, maybe sometimes. Right. So you were kind of at like some of those activities. Yeah.

It was just, we could not believe four different instances. One restaurant I went to, 40 minutes took me to get a drink. It's too many. At the table. It's a lot of minutes, man. And you order that drink, you want that drink within five to six minutes. Max, like, all right, it's been five minutes. Where's my drink?

40 is a crime. The guy goes, I'm sorry, we're totally slammed inside. We went to go to the bathroom, we check inside. Maybe 15 people in there. Food took an hour and 25 minutes to come out. Then we go to this next meal the next day. We're like, well, there's no way that could happen. This was after golf.

Yeah. Remember we sat there after golf? No, we were there for a bit. We sat there after golf. We couldn't get somebody to serve us for probably, I don't know, 25 minutes? Yeah. This is the second show within the last month that you've been talking about slow and horrible service at restaurants. Do you think that it's you that is the problem?

Maybe they just don't want to serve you. Maybe there's something about your aura that they're like, fuck this guy. I'm not going to serve him a drink. I really don't think so. You guys couldn't get food. South Station, I believe, was that place. That was crazy. You couldn't get food if you lit a firework going on inside.

I just like to bury South Station every time. Oh, I would love to. You go eat South Station. You're a moron. South Station is canceled. They're canceled. They better be canceled. Frankie brings up a very interesting point, though.

I really don't think so. This seemed to be a pretty Vermont thing. You don't think you have a black cloud over you when it comes to service? I really don't think so because I've had, you know, many, many experiences with fantastic service. Okay. But it is getting to a point where it's quite concerning. I will say a buddy of mine ordered an espresso martini. And the lady just said, sure.

And I think she went in the back and brewed it. And it took like 30 minutes. You said today on your way out of town. Yeah. On the way out today, I stopped and got like, I wanted to stop it like a nice like Vermont, like deli and get a good sandwich. I was super hungover. Like it was just great. Great night.

A lot of drinks. A lot of dancing. Just full sweat. But the whole thing was great. I was like, I'm just going to get like a massive Italian sub, Coca-Cola and a bunch of waters. And literally it took them 30 minutes to make the Italian side. Oh, no. It took forever.

I was just standing there. Like. You think it's like. Midwest people Maybe it's a different pace Now it's kind of like It's Vermont Trent Daddy

I get that Vermont is way more like Midwest it's quaint It's slower It's more laid back and all that I'm from Missouri I understand that service and all that could be slower This was stunning

Isn't Vermont where Walter White goes to hide? I don't know I don't know about that I don't know I don't know either I'm not ever I think it might be the point being is like it's a place that's totally You can go there and no one even knows you there.

It's very relaxed. It's very relaxed. New Hampshire. New Hampshire? Right next door. If some of these people saw a line in New York City at Chipotle when there's like 15 people that all do one item, it would blow their mind. Yeah. But that's how it works.

I mean, the one bartender, I bet she was turning over one drink every three minutes. John Tapper needs to go in there and shut it the fuck down. Oh, he would shit it down. It was just, I couldn't not tell it on it. It got, it got. It was unbelievable. How much golf did you guys play? You played that round?

I played a couple rounds. I also played a one-day member guest at the Country Club at Brookline. We're having the 20-22 U.S. Open. The Country Club, that's the greatest game ever played. Exactly. One of my favorite movies. France's we met, 1913, and then also they had the Ryder Cup in 99, the miracle when they came back. Easy, peasy lemon squeezy.

Good one. I played lights out at the Country Club. I shot. So they played the championship course. Everybody doesn't know that. And the place, they have a very strict. You have a stuff he knows right now? I've just been through a lot, man.

Okay. Can you let me talk? Sorry. It does feel like you have a stuffing nose. Because you, but the only reason I bring that up, the only reason I bring that up is because I know that every listener right there was like, oh, he's got a stuffy nose.

That sentence right there was super stuffed. You've been through a battle. You've been through a wedding weekend. I explained to you. It's a long weekend. It's, I'm so hungover. I want to get this fucking show over with. You keep talking about my voice.

You're doing great. You sound like, I think you're doing great. You could sing, you could sing some green day right now and it would sound great. You sound like Billy Joe. Time of our lives.

Yeah. I hope you had to die. That's pretty good. That was really good. It's just all nasal. All right, go on. You're a huge impressions guy. Go on.

Huge. Yeah, I don't like to think I am, but sometimes they just come out. You're good at them. Thanks. So play the country club. They got a very strict social media policy, so I don't want to be too crazy,

but it's places in phenomenal shape that having literally a U.S. Open and like two. and a half years. Phenomenal shape. It's got tiny greens. It's the New England topography times a million. It's like the rolling hills exposed rock phases with like some fescue stuff.

It's so nice to be out there. And I played lights out, which felt really good. Would you shoot? Because last time that I played with you guys, I shot 102. Yep. Yeah, 102 crew. You know? Oh, yeah.

So for anyone that doesn't know, we went to Aaron Hills and Trent shot 102. He was on Pacers shoot in 95. stepping up to the 17th T. Damn, I was. Eighty-five. He had shot 85 through 16. Oh, that's right. 85 through 16.

He was on pace for. He had 14 to burn. He had 14 to burn. You know, like, was it to 4-5-50s and so-9? I did. I had 14 to burn. Two holes. And I took 17.

Nice. That's a bummer, man. That is a. But it was, you know, shot the same as you. Go on. Wow. It's true. Thank God you.

We put out that video of us playing that verses, and then I played a little hockey around. the, around the hall, I saw a lot of people saying that I never would have made that putt. They said I wouldn't have made the next three putts. I probably would have made a seven that you would have beaten me. I actually agree with that. Yeah. Someone gave it to me. Yeah. That's what we were doing. We weren't like, yeah, that's fair. I shot 78. Wow. I birdied my 10th hole to get to even par for the day. And the championship course was set up. It was 7,700 yards. So, I mean, it wasn't, I think it's like 74, 7,500.

But it's the champ course and the reason I say that, they have like an extra nine at the country club and then their main course 18 and for the championship course they take like two and a half holes from the primrose which is the other nine and kind of add a couple different holes and then take a few out so they only set up the championship course a couple times a year um and i it's par 70 so it's hard like 67 hundred yards par 70 and we had it was a one day member gas where he's just like you take the one one uh net low ball and uh and i just hit the ball on a string. So if Whitney is out there listening, well, I want to get to Whitney, our match

is coming up at about a month. I don't think we've released all the details yet, but our match is coming up in about a month, $10,000 match, and I hit the ball lights out. Greens are tiny at the country club, tiny, and I'm usually not known for being a ball striker. Usually I just slap it around, miss a lot of greens and chipp and putt pretty well. But I hit the ball like that. I think Whitney's going to be in serious, serious trouble. And the other reason I wanted to bring up Ryan Whitney is because I feel like a

fucking idiot because I forgot. I couldn't think of that example when we were debating that can you get down to a scratch thing. Right. This has the internet by storm. People on Twitter have a lot of opinions. A lot of pro golfers I noticed were weighing in and being like, have no chance. A lot of coaches and stuff were weighing in being like, I've seen guys do it.

I could get guys to do it. Ryan Whitney played in the NHL for like nine years. He's tall, incredibly athletic, professional athlete. For the last like four or five years since he's been retired, he's got millions of dollars. He'll tell you he made like north of $30 million in the NHTS. all he does is play golf and hang out with his family. That's it. He's got swing coaches.

We know his coach. Our boy, Joe, he's a great guy. He's got swing coaches. He belongs to multiple places. All he does is play and grind at golf. He can't get down to a scratch. He's like a 1.5 or something like that. So the point is not that nobody can do it, but even Ryan Whitney, he's got all that.

And he's a very good golfer. I mean, if you're like a 1.2 or 1.5, you're fucking good, but he's not down to a scratch. Now, if you give Ryan Whitney 12 hours a day with his coach all day, I mean, he probably sees his coach, like, once a month or something like that. claim that he doesn't go to his coach a lot. I mean, if he hears this, he's going to be like, I don't ever get to go to my coach. Maybe I go to the place like during the winter and like hit out of like the hit into the simulator or whatever with them. But I bet you he'll claim that he doesn't go to a coach nearly as much as you think. But my point is like that's what he does.

My point is that if you give him the hypothetical, which is like an outrageous hypothetical to say that you're going to take a year and like, or how long it would take. And we were like, all right, you get a year dedicated 12 hours a day and all the amenities that you want in the world. Can you do it like Whitney was would be but I don't think I might push him over the edge yeah but I don't think the 12 hours a day thing was ever a given it was like you have all the resources and your goal is to get down to a scratch just can you do it that was like yeah with no other so like I think that pretty much is Whitney's like no no nobody ever said no family I'm saying this is like that's what it would take that was my answer to the hypothetical I'm saying that's what it would take right

and that's complete complete and utter just like that's what I'm going to do with my life Whitney would absolutely do it he would just get more consistent he's already right there yeah I don't that that like I just don't know that that's true even if it is like I guess my ultimate answer is not that anyone who's like an eight or better can just automatically become a scratch it's that like there's a certain percentage and I just think that percentage is way smaller than you guys think it's a very like low he's one example though but I mean there's others out there that could do it that probably start at the same level he did it in our scratch and then the people were pointing out that book where the guy went he the 10,000 hours paper tiger right he did like

the whole experiment and couldn't they said he got down like a four or something like that and gave it up it was like he had too many injuries and couldn't do it and this and that there's obviously examples people other people were commenting being like i used to be i think it was like brodie smith you know that guy is yeah he was uh he was like i was like a 16 or 17 handicap i got super into golf and in a year i got down to a scratch so like i obviously some people could do it i just think that the percentage is very small i think it's way more consistent with like the percentage of people who are like i think it's low. It's like five or ten percent versus like,

oh yeah, if you're like a 10, you can just become a scratch golfer if you have all the resources. That's my guess. I don't know. I don't think there's any like perfect answer. No.

I think the amount of people that are scratched is because they are an elite level where they can get to that without doing this hypothetical. That's why it's so low. So if you add this hypothetical in for anyone across the world, then let the amount of people who are scratched now becomes higher so that that point doesn't make any sense. To me.

Yeah. Right now there's only a certain amount because that hypothetical doesn't exist. Like no one's like actively trying. to do everything they can to do it. Like the average golfer, I mean. Yeah, I think a lot of people are commenting, too, like they don't understand that it's way easier to shave and go from a 15 to a 10.

Oh, yeah. From a 10 to a 5, then, like, finding shots that you can make up from a 3 to, like, a scratch is incredibly difficult. You have to play incredible golf. You should have to play really good. You're not shooting, like, 78s and 80s. You're dialed in every round.

Yeah, you're shooting around even probably, like, every round. Frankie, did you say that you could do it? I thought I could Yeah I think I could too My reasoning behind it was that I I believe that I have shots in the bag Like I'll go a three or four hole stretch Like today I went like one under through four holes

And to me I'm like I can't do this ever again Like maybe like because I'm not just I'm not there at all But if I had a guy showing me what to do Like this swing may be able to get more consistent to the point Where I don't know like I'd like to give it a shot It's never going to happen No

Be so fun though Oh just like to like I was We were at this club today and I was watching these four kids. They're like eight years old, all on a grass range. Four kids hitting it. There was like kind of drizzling out there.

They're not home like playing like a wiffle ball or like playing video games. They were out there hitting like fades into a fucking grass range and like striping the ball. Like eight and ten year olds like dress to the fucking nines. Titleist bags like ripping drives. Yeah. But like that's like they're on their way already to become a scratch more way more in advance than any of the average golfers. Like that they're just dedicated. to playing better go because they're working at it.

Yeah, but like that, yeah. I mean, that's what it takes in any sport. Yeah, right? Like, if you went to the ice rink and you saw some young kids, like, ripping shots when they're fucking seven on the ice, like, oh, that's probably when you have the time to do it. The difference is, though, like, like hockey is a sport or any other sport is something that you have to pick up earlier else.

Then your window's gone. Golf is something where you're now comparing this hypothetical to a 40 or 50-year-old that's, like, may have just picked it up 10 years ago or something. Like golf has no ending point in an age group. You know what I mean? So I feel like if you get in early, you're at such an advantage over anyone else. And the only reason I'm bringing that up is because I just think playing the game more just makes you better, which it does. It's just in your point, like, how much better can you get?

And I do think that you can get there. I don't know. I just do. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, again, I've agreed that some people can get there. I just don't think like, you think anyone who plays golf can just get to a script. No, no.

So then where's the cutoff, I guess, is my question. Like that's kind of the whole point is like there's got it you got to have. So then where's your code? Like where is it? Where is it? I would say like five or 10% of people. But like I think the original question was like if you have all the resources, can you do it? And like the fact that you're saying some people can like isn't that just mean that it's right?

Like why are we doing like a numbers percentage of this thing? I never would have like entered that conversation because I don't know how to answer that. Yeah. I guess like so then you're talking like each specific like person. I don't think I don't know that I could do it. I think it'd be really, really, really hard. It would be hard. So if I if I had a full year.

and like PJ tour like resources, I don't know that I could get down to Scratch. I think I can get fucking close. I think I didn't get down like a one or two, but I think those last like stroke or two are really, really hard. I don't know that I can do it. And I know like my buddies that are scratch golfers

are really good at golf. Yeah. And like really naturally good at golf. And I don't think me just like building a robotic game like would all of a sudden just make me, I don't think I could. Yeah. I guess is where I would make the cutoff.

You guys think you could. No, I don't think I don't know. I'm like, I don't know. I'm believing that I can. It's a good attitude to have. I don't know. I want to think that you can. I understand.

I want to think that you can. After a year, it's like how the fuck did you fail? Like, that's so much golf. I mean, you know, people fail to break a 10 handicap and they play,

you know, for a year and a couple of years. This is like, this is like I'm saying goodbye to everyone. And I'm, I'll see you in a year and I'm just going to come back. You're like, I don't know.

I didn't do it. Yeah. I mean, so that, I mean, I'm, Riggs's point earlier, too,

was like, to keep a healthy lifestyle and to actually go grind every day and play through, you know, blisters over hand. I think in a vacuum, you can do it. Yeah,

I agree that. You're taking a lot of other bullshit out of it. Yeah. No, I agree that. In a vacuum, I could do it. But in real life,

I don't know that I can. Yeah. I'm more, all right, I agree with that. You know, you're three months in, standing on that,

like, that, like, 13th T and you're like, I've been working so hard of my swing and it's out of sorts that I'm going to shoot 83. Yeah.

Because, like, that happens on the fucking PJA tour. Like, you know, J.B. Holmes shot, what, 87 or something in the final round of the open? Right? Like, you could just go and think about you're working so hard. You're trying to get it down to this consistency. You're thinking about what your coach is saying. And after, like, four months, you're like, I'm still a four.

Like, fuck. Right. Being a four is really good golf. It's good. Really good golf. It'd just be really hard. Folks, I'm rocking right now, these hyperlight glide sneakers from Peter Malar. I'm showing them to you guys.

They are perhaps the most comfortable. sneakers I've ever worn in my entire life. Those things are sharp. They're sharp. They're light. I've been getting compliments. They also have got this, the way that they go on, they're almost like, they're sneakery with the laces and whatnot, but they're

actually like slippers. You just like slip into a real pleasant. Boy, did I need that this weekend. I never, I didn't have a good shoe choice this weekend. I was wearing, I didn't wear good shoes this whole weekend. I was walking around. You know, I looked like an asshole. I didn't have those sneakers, also their sandals. I mean, I want to get compliments on my, there's

the better than getting a compliment about your shoes. It's also... You feel that's left and right. People are like, what are those? Yeah. What are those? What are those? You don't have the right foot where you feel like it is.

Come on. Without the right foot where you feel like it is. Who remembers? Walking around like dumb sneakers. Those things are legit. You like these things? Yeah. Tell them where to get it.

Petermalar.com slash four. Frankie also talks on this show about his water repellent vest that he was wearing. I wore a Peter Millar vest. At first I thought it was going to be a little heavy. And then when you get on the golf course, it's not restrictive at all. It was a nice shape.

a blue and then it started raining which I didn't know who's going to rain no one told me I didn't look at my phone I was a little too hung over got into the golf course started raining the water was dropping was actually bouncing off of my vest that's how repellent it was bouncing how how good is there stuff just across what this thing this thing lurch is wearing you know like watermelon pinky course it's just peter more dot com slash four it's like flubber when he puts flubber over everything and it bounces oh that's what your vest was like yes yeah that's great Frank that's really good They just make really good stuff.

There's really no doubt about it. Lightweight. It's super comfortable. If you think it's going to affect your game, you don't like that kind of gear. If you're geared up for fog off and all that, nope, Peter Bluer makes it comfortable. You know, it kind of melts onto your body, and then it's stretchy and their pants. I can go on about their pants. I also think they've invented colors because their colors are better than anybody else's colors.

That's the biggest takeaway for me is like their colors are perfect. And nobody else can make those. This color you're wearing. I can't get over it. It's insane. Frankie talks about how well, how good I love. Watermelon. Pink.

Yeah, that's what it is. Pops. It's incredible. I've been commenting on that thing off the air all weekend long. I almost think that they're losing money with how high quality the stuff they make. I was thinking about that this weekend. It's too good a value. My quarter zip is made out of such good material that there's no chance.

No matter how much they charge for it, they can't be making that much money off of it. Because it's just like, why wouldn't other companies be making it to this level? I know it's an ad read and all their sponsor or stuff. It's the best clothing you can possibly. It's awesome. It's crazy. Awesome. I don't know how to explain it.

I don't either, dude. The fact that they... Even the insides are like... So my pants, my five pocket pants have like a design on the inside that also like matched my quarters zip, which I didn't even know. So if you want to take your pants off,

people can see him. People can see the inside. Like, oh, he's even matching the lining. Crazy. Somebody asked me the other day, like, all right, you're a PJ tour player. You get to have like any three sponsors in the world that you want. Peter Marr.

First one I said was Peter Ballar. You have to. Number one. Because, I mean, I wear it everywhere. You have to wear clothes. We live in a society here, people. You got to wear clothes. What a drag.

Going to work. Going out to eat. You got to wear clothes? This is one of those moments where, like, you remember when you're like, I don't want to take showers anymore? Did I say that? Yeah. Well, you're like, I would like to not take showers. And then that started a massive, like, whole thing.

I can't remember them. I don't remember that. Saying you're not going to take showers is like. That is all. I love show. I mean, saying you're not going to wear clothes is different. It was something about the world ending. You're like, I'm not.

I can take a shower anymore. This is just turned into the podcast. We're now back in the podcast. Peter Malar, I want those shoes. Petermalar.com slash four. They also come with a sweet shoe bag. You're going to love it. And that's their easy care machine washable for low maintenance.

Get the shoes. Go to Petermalar.com slash four. Enjoy yourself. Kiz texting update with Phil. Phil has responded. He responded to Kis's text. We can't give it away because it's a little personal. We're not in that business.

But we're on it. We're tracking. Phil. Tracking him hard. He posted a fireside with Justin Thomas. Sounds like he's a storm. Tracking Phil. Track him.

It's hurricane season. Yeah, we're tracking him. Yeah. That's just what we're doing. We're tracking film. True. Posted a fireside with J.T. About Pinehurst.

They're at Pinehurst. I imagine you guys saw this. You know, J.T. They both got like the same lie. And obviously Pinehurst number two, crazy turtleback greens and Greenside, J.T. he puts one up the hill to like a couple inches.

Phil takes out a huge flop shot. It says there's like massive like divot, grass everywhere. Sandy, huge flop shot hits it like to a couple inches, but a couple inches outside of JT. and JT's like, yeah, it's pretty good, but I'm a little closer. And Phil just is like, yeah, my dad would have putted that too. It's a real trip.

Just roast him. I mean, I got to take that one out. Classic. That's a keeper. Yeah, classic filter. It's so good, though. Dad joke. Yeah.

Just like, you know, bada bang. Maybe slap them on the. the arm. Yeah. It's a good one. It's incredibly relatable too because we've all been there where you have, like you put from off the green and you hit a good one and you're like, feel pretty good about it.

But part of you's like, I'm a coward for a little bit. A little piece to me just kind of vanish. I put it all day at the hills. 200 yards out of it right now. I put it all day. I was. You were there.

You watched me put it all day. Take a lot of risk out of the equation. Hanky, Hanky, you just would not let me touch my wedges. When you blade that wedge and it goes. I was, you know, Frankie, you know this. Did it today.

But, you know, it just kills you. It does. Because you're playing a par five, let's say. Yeah. And you hit two great shots. And now you're basically playing a par three from like five to ten yards off the green. Right. And you're like, no, no, no, I'm just going to hit this, like, nippy wedge and like two feet.

Dream it up in your head. And then you just blade one. That's a weapon. Meltdown mode. How does that happen? Yeah. I put one today from 50 to 60 feet off the green. You putted it off of it?

I was so far. But you have to say, I mean, the green was like, oh, got it, got it. The skirt was just all the way down. You had to just tap this thing. And I was like, if I try and do anything cute here, someone's going to die. Like, I had a downhill lie, like, no way of getting under this. You have the 17th total cabot. You can pretty much put from like 100 yards out.

That's awesome. You have to. That's awesome. You legit, if you landed on the green, it would just rock it off the back. You'd be in the ocean. There's like a little front bunker that kind of protects it, but you can kind of rip it off the left and it just like curls back. Oh, my God.

It's great. I think from, I had 85 yards, if I recall, and I hit a little bump and bump and run eight iron. Yep. 85 yards way and just scooted right around the bunker to like 20 feet. It was great. It was incredible. Speaking of Cabot, we will, like I said, we'll be there about a week and a half we're going. And there's a nasty rumor going around that Hurricane Dorian will be making its way up towards Nova Scotia.

Oh, no. That's one of its past. How the hell is this thing going to survive all the way up? Dude, it's going to one mile an hour. That's what I said. I was trying to do some math being like, well, this thing doesn't pick up the pace. It's not going to, we're going to be gone long gone by the time it gets up to notice kosher. It's still going to have that much power all the way up there.

You know, I don't think it's still like a major hurricane, but like that remnants and stuff has to go somewhere. It doesn't just disappear, I don't think. Damn. I don't understand how it's got like 200 mile an hour winds, but it's traveling one mile an hour. Like in my head, that just. Yeah. Doesn't make sense. I just, how?

I think we put up on Barstle a clip or someone did. Actually, no, someone retweeted it, but it was like this guy down south, and he's like, he was like, we have the Navy. Why can't they just go around a circle and push it the other way? Which I love. That's a great idea. We have the Air Force and the Navy. Why don't the planes drop some ice in the middle? Because they always talk about this hot air.

And he's like, why don't the Navy just float around the other way and just push this thing back into the ocean? He's like, that's a fucking do. That's the other way. That's the fucking do. You think that guy's been workshopping that one with his buddies? He was dead serious. He was an old. No, but I mean, like, you think he's been floating that at dinner.

We have a couple beers with buddies, and he's like, you know, we have that Navy. How do they not figure this? How do they not have to put in there? You know, people make. You're not just like a Yeti fall. A Yeti fall. I will say.

You'd need the sun, which is just ice. People make fun of these people who come up these ideas, but at least they're using their thinking. At least they're trying to come up with something. I will say, he's got me thinking about it. Dude, he literally, at one point, he's like, they keep saying it's coming. Like, why don't we do something.

back. He's like, this hurricane's going to come. And we're just sitting here like, all right. Like, let's do something. Hey, at least somebody's putting the thinking cap on and trying to figure this thing out. But it's, you know. That's an interesting one there. I played in rain today. How was that?

Do you have rain gear first of all? I had Peter Malar on. And the water droplets, I had to see him on your history. I had a Peter Malar. I had a Peter Malar vest on. Yeah. And the water droplets were bouncing off of me. Yeah.

It was laughing. People were laughing. People were laughing around. me like look you're actually like reflecting the rain it was crazy that's incredible it was reflecting like when i was putting it was bouncing off me and into my line of sight actually it was actually like annoying it's so repellent that it was comical um good for you yeah i had a crazy weekend i uh you guys you guys from vermont i was in the hamptons i was in the hansans kind of the hansans west hampton for a couple days the other day i was in like stony brook area my uh friends got married it was like my

the first two friends and our huge group of friends that got married. They, boy, did they set the bar high. I mean, it was a fantastic wedding. I can't believe how perfect everything was. Like the hotel was right next to the venue. The venue was immaculate, massive venue. The actual ceremony was only 20 minutes long, outside, beautiful. Everything looked incredible.

We had bubbles we were blowing. The best man's beach. We blew a little bubbles as they walked by. The place looked incredible. Like as they're walking down the aisle. I was tearing up. Like one of my good friends is getting married. Crazy.

Yeah. Literally. Saturday or Sunday wedding? It was a Friday wedding. Wow. And then we had the whole, we all went to a house. Oh, that's awesome.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday. And it was awesome. Like now I don't know how I can never go to a wedding without a week and attach after it. I don't know how. Because like everything that we did on the wedding night, we're like, all the gas up. We're having fun. And like, we kept drinking.

And then we're like, all go to bed because we have a weekend worth of benderish drinking ahead and golf. So it was like, sometimes. at weddings you always like don't want the music to stop at the end you're just like oh fuck it's it's over already it's got an uber home and i'm just laying in my bed like no we were like we were gassed up at the end it was awesome it's correct um i will say at the end of our wedding on um last night legit dinette what it did i mean i was gonna say it just never stopped just kept going well they brought this pizza out at the after party at the bar and lurch was triple stacking pizza and eating it like a sandwich oh man you're a savage dude dude you're food savage

We're just little baby bites. I mean, I had a ton of tequila. That's my switch. So I've switched from vodka to tequila. Yeah. So I was just ripping that straight with a couple of limes. It's absolutely fantastic drinks. I hate tequila.

I like tequila. I hate vodka. But I went. Unless it's obviously in a transfusion. I just can't drink it straight. Oh, yeah. I tried to ask for a transfusion at the wedding and the, and the bartender looked at me like, like, I just said something like racist at her.

She had no idea what I meant. Come on. I was like, can have a transfusion? She's like, I don't know. So I was like, it's just vodka. ginger ale and grape juice, right? I said, do you have grape juice? And then she, like, went into the back, and everyone's like, come on.

I'm like, I don't know. It's the whole thing. I'm, like, turning around. And then all of a sudden she comes out, she pours it, and it comes out orange. I'm like, what's going on right now? It was grapefruit juice. It was horrible. That's a miss.

One of the worst drinks I've ever had. So it tastes like an armpit. Tequila, I can drink a shot of tequila. I like it. I can't do vodka straight. It makes me puberty. Yeah, that's gross. I have a ton of them.

So anyways, at the end, yeah, they brought up these little, I mean, they weren't, they're not like traditional slices. They're a little, like three-byte slices, like little tiny guys. So I was just taking them. I'd just stack a couple on top. You're disgusting. Please, your body's milk. It is. It saw the sun this weekend.

It looks better. Yeah, you actually look great. Let me get to that. Let me get to the little vitamin D in the skin. The climax of this story is when I take my shirt off, all right? This is what's not really that crazy. It's just I take my shirt off. That's all it is.

But I wore shorts, which is massive. Yeah, I wore shorts, which was crazy. crazy. At one point my friend said to me, it's refreshing to see your skin. That's what I said. He's like, I've never, he's like, I've just used to seeing you before. It's burnt. Skin's got to be excited to be outside for the first time in the decade. Get some fresh air. Yeah. It was good. I was in the pool. It's like, what is this? So, on, so Friday night was a wedding. Saturday, we woke up early and we went to this golf course called Nisakwag. And this, I mean, the name hits you like a ton of bricks.

You're like, where the fuck are we going? Nisakwag. Nisakw. You have no idea where you going. I didn't even know it was a place. Turns out my buddy who played on my high school golf team, he was a ringer. He was unbelievable at golf. He was in the first T program. I actually talked about him a couple weeks ago on the show when we were doing the Can you get down to scratch? He just started better than us and he just, he's a good athlete and he just is a fine golfer.

Lefty, putts righty, which is crazy. Wow. Yep. Went down to Mississippi State. He went through that PGM program down there, like professional golf management. Really good kid. So my buddy Tim, he's amazing. He's the assistant pro there at Nisakwag, and he brought us out.

This place is phenomenal. So Boomer Assison played there last week, and on the show, on his show, he kept saying it was a hidden gem of Long Island. You have all these powerhouse country clubs out east, you know, like Sabonik and Shinnock and all this stuff, all the elite of the elite. And then Nisaquag is like 30 minutes or maybe even 40 minutes west of it. But it's just like it's very family. Like when you walk there, when you drive in, you feel like I. It's like a, like just laid back. Like, we always talk about that different vibe.

Like some vibes are snobby and, like, stuck up. Another vibe, just like you can walk anywhere and whatever you want to do. Just have fun. That's what this place was like. The starter was hilarious telling us jokes and all this stuff. It was awesome. I mean, starters usually have pretty good dad.

Tim, Tim's an avid listener of the show. While we were talking to the starter, he took my putter, added an inch to it because he said he heard that I didn't like mine was too short. And he put on like a new grip on it. It was like, come on like he just came back with my putter. I'm like, what did you just do? He's like, I just put on a new grip. Just give it like five minutes while you hit balls.

It'll be perfect. Did you put better? I put it. I did putt better. It was crazy. Couldn't believe he did it. He's like, what do you want me to do this putter? I'm like, what?

What are you talking about? That's something. Yeah, so a lot of the holes go out into the water. It's a lot of fun, really good views. You know, I played okay. I was on pace to shoot an 86, stepping up to the 17th T. And then I made a nine. I made an eight and a nine.

I lost four balls and last two holes. That's a trend. That's a trend. You trinted it. Yeah. So I shunted it. shot of 94. I may even,

I may even had, the math is like, I may even, it doesn't seem like like it's had enough there. Just, yeah, I made a, yeah, I made a quadruple,

which would give me a 91, and then I made a triple, which got me in 94. Yeah. It's a tough. That's tough. I made a 9-8. Really bad, really bad guy.

I mean, that is, I mean, right out of the trip. It's just it. It's almost like you're just trolling trick. Really? Did that actually happen?

It really happened. Are you trying to spit in my face? It really happened, man. Those are you kind of just cocked up a loogie. So I'm standing on 17T. I'm at 85 shots. Playing the round of my life. My cat is him.

Hanky-Panky. It's tough. It's a bad feeling because I was playing well. I'm hitting, like, good golf shots, you know? You're hitting good golf shots. And at the end, you walk off like a loser. You know, Trent? Like, you walk off feeling like a loser.

Fuck you. I mean, I did this. No, no, no. I believe you. I believe you. But now it's a little bit. You kind of twisted the knife. Yeah, you did.

Folks, everybody wants to play better golf. There's just no doubt about that. We talk about it all time how bad we are, how much we stink, how it's way cool or to finish or strong. We talk about how Trent just totally melted down and collapsed at Aaron Hills. It's the same score. You don't want to do that. You just don't want to do that. What you want to do is play much better golf.

And the very, very, very important key to that is to be properly fitted with clubs. It's massive. It's so important. It's crazy. I see golf instructors all the time tweeting about it, Instagramming about it. You've got to get the right clubs. Curated.com.

So thank you for that, curated. And at first, I was approached and I was told to sign up. And I went through the whole process. And it said you can choose either the email or the phone.

And I chose the phone to verify your account or whatever. and, you know, I got a message and it was like, hey, this is John or whatever the name was. I'm here to set you up with your curated account. Like, here's, like, here's a link to something. And then I didn't answer right away. We were at work. And then like, like, 10 seconds later, I got another one. And I was, and I just, I'm like, all right.

Like, this may just be like a bot or something. I'm like, something's going on here. So I just wrote, because sometimes when you get this stuff, you could just write like stop. Yeah. So in all caps, I wrote stop. That's all I responded with. And then our, the person that works for. us that I guess like is there is like their liaison is that the word yeah that's

she comes down and she's laughing and she's like she's like why did you just like yell stop at the curated expert apparently it wasn't a bot it was like this guy Andrew and he I just wrote stop to him he's like trying to get my order ready and I just wrote stop like don't ever talk to me again lose my number like don't talk so it's real people it's a real person robots so I was like let's try this again so I signed up again the guy messaged me and he's like hey like my name's Andrew and whatever the whole thing. Essentially how it works is like he's like, what are you looking for? And he can even see like what you have in like your cart and stuff.

Like so I had like a putter in there because we had talked about how I'm not, I don't like my Scotty Cameron right now. And so he's like, well, what do you want in a club or a putter? I said, well, I always have the toe like up in the air and I can't get the club flat on the ground. What do you think is the best putter for that? Like something that has maybe an angle to it. And he's like, this is exactly what you need. Sent me this Odyssey, the link to an Odyssey putter. And we're talking this out, which is pretty sick.

Like you're actually. With an expert. With an expert. You're talking to stuff. And then so I just purchased it. They're sending me the Odyssey putter. I actually think it just came in while I was on my trip. So I haven't been able to use it yet.

So I can't wait to use it. It's a mallet putter. First time I'm going to have a mallet putter. Real people helping you out. You go to curated.com slash forward play.

Anyway, we play Nisakwag. I'm feeling good. You know, great golf course. to see my old friend. He's doing well. And then we all, me and my buddies, we all had a house in the, at West Hampton. This house, um,

the inside was a nightmare. It's straight out of a nightmare. When I say a nightmare, I mean that whoever owned this house in West Hampton, um, has a darkness inside of him. Okay. Like there's pieces of artwork in this place that I didn't even feel comfortable taking pictures of to show you. Satanic?

It was, he's like, he's a, this guy is a hoarder of, like odd things like we went into this basement and it was a fucking maze like there's little walls at one point i thought a child was just going to come running out screaming for help like that's what i thought when i was in this place there's like a ventriloquist doll just sitting on a stool staring at you when you walk in in the darkness and on top of it just had the word danger

and there's a what there's a door that just said danger on it who fell in this place yeah what's psychopath put this thing you got what did you get a deal on this place i bet dude like in our room like me and my girlfriend is paying you to this place you is like you is like you But dude, the house is sick. It's huge. It slept 20 people. It's a huge house. But he had just weird shit.

It just had weird shit. Like my room had like elephants on the walls. And then another room had like just a huge picture of a model. I'm talking the wallpaper was a girl's face. The whole wallpaper was a girl's face. Like something out of guess. Like the store guest. That's what I'm supposed to sleep tonight.

Dude, it was crazy. Did you take any like pictures and videos that you wouldn't put out publicly that you're going to show us? I mean, honestly, we were all so freaked out. about it. I didn't, I didn't even think we all know, I don't even know if anyone took a picture. You didn't take one picture of the danger door? Someone's got to have, someone's got to have the danger door. It's crazy. But dude, there was like old Pac-Man.

There was a pinball in my room. There was a huge pinball machine. It was crazy. It was like, it was a circus. It was kind of cool. It was cool. But the backyard was immaculate. Clay tennis court, basketball court, beach volleyball, huge pool. So we spent the whole time outside. Yeah. And I was

telling Lurch, I told you guys this. I played tennis this weekend. I'm not a, I'm not a tennis player. I never played a full set in my entire life, right? We had nice, we had nice rackets, we had nice balls. We're sitting out there on a clay court. It was awesome. They had this thing where you can like, you brush it and you feel like you're doing

the YMCA at a Yankee game. I did that actually once. It was a funny little joke. We played YMCA. I was doing the whole thing. You know what they do at the Yankee? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I did that, I did the whole like YMCA picked it back up. Yep, kept going. It was phenomenal. It was a big moment of the weekend. I was wearing shorts at that point, too. So everyone was like, holy fuck.

Look at those reflectives on top of the You're really letting your hair down if you got shorts on. I was letting my hair down. People are like, oh my God, this is quite a weekend. But here's the end of the story is that I played tennis. And tennis is one of those sports where you're using muscles that you haven't used since the birth of you. Like since the start of my life, I have never used muscles that I did when I played tennis this weekend. I could not walk.

We played probably five. No joke, we probably played five to six sets, like full sets of tennis. And we just kept playing and playing. We'd go back and drink. We'd play. We play 21 cup. Relay, Beer Pong,

go back and play. And we're sweating and we want to kill each other. We're playing doubles. We're playing singles. I couldn't stop playing tennis. And then at the end of the night, I could not move. Like in the next morning,

I had my girlfriend actually lift my legs out of bed like I was paralyzed. And I was screaming. Dude, someone heard me screaming in the room. They're like, whoa, like they're getting it on. And then I'm like,

no, I'm dying. So my body has played tennis for the first time. It has been paid. Dude, it's crazy. And then like there was a couple of good tennis players there. so like you're trying to keep up with them

and you're trying to do this like over the top with the fucking slicing and the spin and all this shit and I just can't do that man. My cast felt like if you like pushed my cabin it was just going to explode. That's how tight it was. It's crazy. How's your serve game?

It was actually pretty solid. So here's what we debated the whole weekend. Okay. First serve, you go for it, right? Yep. And then the second serve, like if you're out and you have one more serve left, are you supposed to lolly gag it when you're playing a game

against like your buddy, a competitive game? Or do you try now again to try and, and ace it or get it in quick. Because we were basically saying, like, we're always giving up. We're essentially giving up if we don't get the first serve in, right? Like, we never try. You're not giving up, but you need, I mean, like, you have to get it over. The better you are, then your second serve becomes, like, still an advantageous stroke.

Yeah, so we never did this. Like, every time, essentially. But if you suck, you can't just give away points. But if you're up 40 love. You go for it twice. And then maybe you go for it twice if you think that maybe they're pounding it. But if a guy sucks, like, I'm playing you. Yeah.

And I can just, like, dump it in because I know. know you're going to screw up either way. Well, I'll take risk out of the equation. That was the only thing that... A bomb of a serve. I'll just hit, like, a decent second server. We felt like disabled almost. Like, we were like, uh, like we were playing like, uh, like we were playing cute almost.

Like every, like no one could get it in. And we were all trying to smoke this thing in. Yeah. And then, and then the second serve is just like a get over and now it's like trying to and you're just like lobbing it back and running around and like drop shots. And then you get like a good volley. It goes by a guy and you're all excited. Like, you know, that's the way to play.

You have a good rally in tennis. It's so fun. could be the most fun sport of all time. It's great. It's super fun. I agree with that. You get so into it that at one point, we had a really good rally, and I smoked one to the back left corner, and I literally, like, turned around and, like, bounced the ball a couple

times to myself. As I walked back to take another serve, I felt like fucking Roger Federer. It was crazy. Like, I didn't even make eye contact with the guy. I slammed it. Shocked yourself. I slammed it, turned around, bounced the ball a couple times, and, like, was ready to serve again. He's like, now what the fuck's going on over there?

Like, you're up 50. 15 love in the first set, like down 3-0. What are you doing over there? I'm like, service. Drill one over the fence. You're like, all right, Frank. You get in the pool, you fucking white bag of milk. It was great.

I hit with my brother all the time. And like when you're in like a good rally or a good game and you're just ripping the ball like cross-court or something like that, it's the best. Yeah. And then after that, played St. George's today, actually this morning. I'm still a little red in the face because I had a little, you know, when there's clouds and then you don't put sunscreen on and then you just get burnt.

It's trickery. It's very trickery. St. George's one of the coolest golf courses I've played. One of the coolest golf courses I played. You know, conjoining fairways. So, like, two is also, like, the fairway to five. And everything's, like, it's very linked style, but there's some trees out there. And there's awesome bunkering.

I mean, there's bunkers all in the middle of the fairways. And you had to really shape the ball around and awesome greens. They had just been punched two weeks ago. You couldn't see any remnants of it. Really? Yeah. The guy said we punched it. After two weeks?

Two weeks? He said that even the pro is like the greens are just really healthy right now. They took to the punching very well. Everything looked great. I mean, the course was, we were actually happy because we knew going into this that St. George's is like that Link's European-looking style golf course. And we were like, oh, man, this is nice. It's actually like cloudy and maybe like misty.

Like it's going to feel kind of like authentic. We're playing Link's golf. Yeah. We didn't want the fucking sun to be out. Like it just doesn't look right. The colors don't match. Like we talked about that when you go to Scotland and Ireland and stuff. You wanted to be that like hazy, foggy.

The one thing I'll say about this place is, well, I always say that, and now I'm saying 10 things about it. Another thing I'll say about the place is that it's so old school, the golf course, that they have no signage at all. You have no idea what hole you're on. And there's some holes where you're like, you could get, you could just, like, there's literally not one sign, not a sign where the next T-box is, what hole you're on, what the yardage is, nothing. And there's some holes where you have to literally remember what the pro told you to get to the fourth hole. It's like, after the third hole, go around the green, pass the two. Two T-boxes on your right, go around that green, and then your T-box would be on the left. Like, if you just don't pay attention to that, almost like when someone introduces themselves to me, I always forget their name immediately.

Like, hey, it's John, what was that? And then you go to your friend, like, what the fuck's this guy's name? Yeah. That's exactly what I felt like when this guy told us where the next T-box is. We luckily found it because there was no one else on the course to where we were. Like, we could have just, then there's no going back. You could just keep playing. And you could be playing 15, 16 and 17.

Like, what the fuck's going on? We have no signs here. But, you know, they said that's the old-school way. they like that feel. What about yardage? Like, what did you do for yardage? I mean, you just read the scorecard. Oh, well, no, they're on the course.

On the sprinklers, there's yardage. But I'm talking like on the T-box is nothing. Fryer's head, there's no yardages on the whole course. Not even on the-nothing. Holy shit. You got to take a caddy and you have to rely on the caddy. Holy shit. There's like no range binders and no yardages.

Wow. So it's all caddies. Isn't that crazy? So those have to be the best caddies in the world. It better be. Or they can just bullshit and you can't say they're wrong because you don't even know what they're talking about. 100%.

I feel like punch greens. They always say two weeks. It's always like a month and a half. Whoever punched these greens is like the fucking Mike Tyson of punching greens because it was phenomenal. You know what I'm saying, baby? Yeah. That was good.

That was good. Did you like workshop that? I didn't workshop it, no. Okay, great. Your brain went straight to Tyson. Yep. I just thought of a good puncher. That was incredible.

I shot a 4839 split, 87. Wow. Played good golf on the back. Almost had a hole in one on 15. I say almost whole on one. Yeah, not really. It was three feet, but on its way to going in, and it had rained for three or four hours while we were playing,

took one bounce, stopped. I almost had a heart attack, whatever. 175 to 7.7 iron, felt good. Didn't take a divvier up and getting roasted for that, picked it clean. I put it on my Instagram. People weren't happy. I didn't take it.

People were on the internet. It's pretty crazy. I don't take different. People on the internet aren't happy. Call me the ice cream man. It's crazy. Okay, we're done here. We got Bronte Law is up next.

We're very hungover and tired and sweating now at this point, so we're going to go. Is there any air in this fucking studio? Great interview. She's about 40 minutes long. It was fantastic. You people are going to love it. That's all I got.

Okay. And, yeah, I love Barstall. You guys are great. I was going to ask because obviously, you know, you're from England. Barstool. I don't know how. We never know how international we are if we're international at all. So what do you know about Barstool?

Well, I'm constantly being tagged in, you know, videos by all my friends on Instagram, obviously. But, yeah, you know, you guys are hilarious. We appreciate that. We'll take that. That's a great start. No, that makes you feel really good. I feel really good. I feel like that was personal to me, but I let you guys take that.

Wow, Frankie, you're so fucking funny. Yeah, you're the best. Yeah. You think that's how you took that? Let's talk about the elephant in the room. I'm wearing a jacket. Okay. All right.

I've been working today. What is it? 90 degrees outside? No, it's like 78. That's a lie. Boy, that was a guess.

It's warm. It's like 85 degrees out. You know, we got this new jacket, Barstles Sports. Great gear. You can get all your stuff on Barstles Sports store. Nice. And, you know,

we did this video. They gave me a brand new jacket, so I just started wearing it. Dave's like, what are you wearing? Everyone's asking me what I'm wearing. So, you know, I just thought I'd lead the show by saying I'm wearing a jacket.

You're dressing the elephant in the room. Correct. It's 83 degrees outside, so it's too warm to be wearing that. Yeah, you're almost kind of dressed like you're going to like an Opry ski or something. It's crazy. You know, and it's just hot outside. So it's a weird, it's a weird move by you. I understand that you are a fan of the color Daddy Girls.

I am a really big fan, yes. You're part of the Daddy Gang? I am. Holy moly. Merch. I have merch. I have a degrade me sweats. No.

Wow. You walk around. I walk around the airport, like, with that on. Holy shit. I don't know whether I should, but. No, I think that's great. I love it. I bought two of my friends, the Call Her Daddy hats for birthday gifts.

Okay. I really am pushing, like, product out here. You're in the game. So we're a podcast here, obviously, at Barstle, and they're a massive podcast here at Barcelona. And we always try and figure out, like, what appeals to you about them? Like, what is it about Call Her Daddy that, like, you know, you're like, I can't miss an episode. I think, well, the worrying part is I can relate to them. Nice. You know, like me and Allison Lee, also another play on LPGA. We travel a lot together and a lot of the conversations

they have. I think that we have as well. So it's just kind of funny to see that being put out into the world as opposed to being like under, you know, wraps, which. Right. And they're massive superstars that. I mean, they're huge. I mean, I walk down the street. I see degrading me shirts all over the place. It's a, it's a revolution. So Alex Cooper has Frankie, he can't go within, I don't know, 20 feet of her and he legit, his brain has the yips. I want to see this. The other day, they were in an office and I opened it up and I'm like, hello, daddy girls. And they're like, they said, close the door and walk away. And I was just like, okay. I mean, they just, they're scary human beings. What was the other time? Like, they, they like chirped you about something on radio and your response

was like, yeah, and then I'd shove like my dick or something like that. You said something ridiculous. We were like, Frankie. I don't know what happened. Like, they're like, uh, someone, they were like, you're trying to get your dick wet? And I was like, I'll pull my dick out right now.

Yeah. That's what I was like, and everyone was like, no. I mean, it was bad. It was a bad moment. I mean, I'm getting even hotter in this, in this, in this wedding. I'm drinking water now. It was so out of character.

It's like, and the other day, I had to get them on radio and I was like, Hey, Alex, this is Frank. first off happy birthday and second off oh i don't know why i wrote second off but second off like i just kept writing i was basically typing as if i was writing and then you hit sin and i hit sin and she's like what no i'm not don't ever text me again don't ever text me again i love the thought of like the 24th best player in the world walked around the airport with a degrade me you know i mean i also have matching ones so we walk around together with them yeah it's amazing it's great fantastic

well you do that and then you come here and talk golf Yeah. Which is the best of both worlds. Exactly. Speaking of golf, let's start with college. You guys were sick at UCLA. Talk about, let's start because I want to start with Matthew Fitzpatrick. Are you friends with Matthew Fitzpatrick?

I actually grew up playing a little bit of golf with him. So you know him pretty well. Yeah, I do. So I hope that you had a better academic experience in college than he did. Because we had him in here like two weeks ago. And he just told the story about how he did one semester and was like, yeah, no, I didn't realize you have to like go to class and do academics. I'm out.

Well, no, I did actually finish my degree, which, you know, I'm very proud of. Right. But I didn't really, I did go to class. That's what I'm supposed to say, right? I did go to class. Yeah. For the record. I studied really hard.

But, no, I had a really positive experience at UCLA. And really enjoyed my time that, you know, both in class and, you know, as a college. student. Was it like a huge culture shift to go from, you know, where you're from to college in California? Yeah, I think when I first walked into my first class at UCLA, there was like 300 people there. And I think back in England there was maybe like 20 in the biggest class that was in. So I didn't really know what to expect. I thought I'd walked into the wrong room and there was like kind of like a concert or something. I don't know what I thought. But I walked in there and then realized that was my class.

And I was like, okay, we're really doing this, you know? So, yeah. What was the biggest difference? Was it, like, fashion? Because for me, like, I'm from the Midwest. I ended up going to, like, a prep school in Connecticut for, like, my last two or three years. And I remember when I rolled in, you know, I'm, like, Midwest, very, like, pretty, like, conservative and style, we just wore, like, jeans and T-shirts. I get there.

And guys got, like, pink pants and, like, yellow ties on and stuff. And I was like, what the fuck is going on here? And then, like, two months later, I was like, my, I got to get some. pink pants you see just say. So what was like the biggest, was it fashion? What was the biggest difference when you... Well, as an athlete, I mean, you just end up wearing like, you know, your athlete gear, right? So that people know that you're an athlete.

Yep, you got to have to. I mean, you have to. UCLA's got great colors too. Great. Greatest colors in the country, I think. I think we've talked about it before. I mean, like Europe and UCLA, it's the same colors. Like, I just win in terms of like...

That's true. I didn't even think about that. So when you're not wearing your Degrade Me shirt, do you? still wear like you know the UCLA stuff I do occasionally you got to it's too good you know I mean I'm a big supporter of UCLA in all sports obviously they're at school that I mean I think we win at everything I don't know no they're good right yeah no UCLA that they're not good at so um yeah I you know I'm really like really proud of you know the years I spent there and what we achieved and We'll always try and rep, you know.

On the golf course, I think I have my, like, little hat clip, my UCLA hat clip. You're repping. So I'm rapping, yeah. What, at what point did you, I mean, were you always like, I'm going to be a professional golfer or was there a point in college where you flipped a switch? No, I definitely wasn't smart enough to, like, think about another career. It was golf. Oh, this better work out.

Yeah, I'm like, I have a sociology degree, and I didn't really plan on using that. I think I changed my major, like, three times as well. Yeah. Whatever's going to get that piece of paper. I wasn't passing the like requirements for the other majors. So I ended up with sociology in the end. So golf was always really like. I'm with you there.

I did that too. It's like you go on your counter. You're like what's the shortest path for me to graduate with the credits that I already have? Just tell me. If it's sociology, mine was English. They're just like just do this and you're going to graduate. Yeah, I was. Would you learn?

Shakespeare. And Thoreau. What do you do? do with Shakespeare? Nothing. And normally when you're in English major, you have a teaching degree that goes along with it. You're like, oh, I'll become a teacher. I didn't do that.

English majors teach future English majors. What do you know about Shakespeare then? I forgot all of it. And I didn't graduate. Oh, good. I came a semester short, and then I took the job at this place, and I just abandoned all this. I will say. I think a lot of people do that.

As soon as you walk out the door, you just forget everything. Totally. Trent writes for a living, and then whenever he tells people who's an English major, people look at him and go, really. Like they're stunned. Yeah, they're stunned. And now that I've been working here for five years, you're writing, it degrades as you go. Because you write blogs. It's not like, he's right research papers and all that.

Now I'm just writing. There's no thesis. There's nothing. It's just like, look at this stupid video, L.O.L. Ha, ha. Publish. So I was a sociology major too. And the only reason I know.

It's the best of us. I know people are asking, oh, yeah, like tell me what is sociology? I got no idea. Just legit, no clue. The only reason I did it was because I took a class. like my sophomore year, maybe freshman year. And I learned in that class, like, I could know nothing about the subject. And I could write a paper that could get at least like a B or B minus knowing nothing.

Yeah, that's the nice thing is it's all writing papers. So, you know, like, you're not in exam rooms, like doing A, B, C, D, like, take a pick. It's not like a strong right or wrong answer. It's kind of like, all right, he like numbered the pages and wrote seven of them. He's at a C already. That's pretty much what it was. He wrote his name correctly. Yeah.

Like it's formatted. It looks like a paper. Like that's huge. That's a good start. And then I could just kind of putts my way through from there. So what was the biggest difference going from college golf, amateur golf, to turning professional playing, you know, against pros? Playing for money. Playing.

Yeah. Yeah. That was it. That was quite a transition. I think the reality of when it comes to Sunday and it's not just, well, you know, I'm either in contention I'm going to win or actually, well, I still need to make. this part because it does make a difference whether I finish 31st or 30 seconds. Right. And I think once, you know, you make that transition from amateur to professional, like that

reality really sets in. And the sooner you can try and dissociate yourself from that, the better. Which is probably really hard to do. Yeah, that will drive you insane looking at numbers of going, oh yeah, that putt cost me 10 grand, cool. Great. No, that makes you feel really nice. I definitely won't be nervous over the next one.

What was the first like meaningful paycheck that you got? I would say Hawaii. So Hawaii was my first event that I played when I had conditional status, my rookie year. So I didn't play in like,

the first four or five events because I couldn't get into them. So I qualified to play in Hawaii. It was my first event and I made the cut and finished, you know, somewhat decent like 30th around that number. And basically that tournament meant that I got into all of the events for the rest of the year. So I then managed to retain my card and you could argue that Hawaii was like kind of the reason that I got onto the LPGA. Was there any big purchase that you mean?

made with like your first big paycheck? I don't know about purchases. Outside of collar daddy. Yeah, tons of collar daddy merch. Yeah, yeah, totally. Just bar tabs. Yeah, just bar tabs. This one's on me.

That's a good answer. I mean. I'll say I do the same thing. I do like shoes. I just, that's what I buy. I do, I have a weakness for shoes. So I do spend quite a lot money on shoes. How many pairs of shoes do you think?

A lot. I travel with like seven or eight at a time. I need that many pairs of like one or two weeks. Why do you that many pair of shoes on a trip? Because you never know. You're wearing two pairs of shoes in the same day? You switching halfway through the day? Possibly.

Wow. I mean, maybe. What kind of shoes? We're talking sneakers? Yes. Nice. Both. Everything.

You name it. I need a couple pairs of everything. What about how many golf shoes do you pack? Or do they like, do you meet? One. I'm like, if these break, we have a problem. That's incredible. You should go with what if they get like soaked?

What if it rains? I'm horrible at all. I bring like three pair. No, Footjoy, great gold shoes. Look at that. Nice plug. That was really good. That's incredible.

That was a pro. No, we like Footjoy. For sure. There's nothing wrong. So you get the win this year. Yes. I always like that. By the way, she's wearing outrageous shoes right now.

What are those things called? Balenciagas. Oh, that's the brand I hear all about. I sound like my dad there and I wish I hadn't said. Yes, you did. Yes, you're sure. The kids are wearing. Oh, yeah, that's what the youths are wearing.

I've heard a lot about those. And he probably said, oh, the balancidias? What are those? The balenciages. I see that on shirts. I mean, those are like $1,000 sneakers. Those are awesome. I mean, you got to get those on kicks in the office.

We have a kicks in the office. Instagram account. We got to take a picture of your shoes. We will. We're going to stunt on that, on that Instagram. Big time. Sorry, I just had to bring out of me. We're talking shoes.

I'm glad you check. And Jake, across the room, Jake was like she's got on Valenciagas. I was like, oh, my God. Let me know how to say that. I'm not going to try. I can't get over Trent's dad reaction. Wow, I've heard of those. Find them on the Twitter there.

Gee golly, those things sure do look swell on your feet. I don't know if that was a dad thing or an Iowa thing to say. It's a combination. I'm from Iowa. So it's probably a combination of both. When you've heard. I didn't really mean much to me. I'm like not very good at geography.

Okay. That's nice. Iowa is like the center of the universe. And it's the most important stage. in the United States of America. It's where everything happens. It's where all the cool people come from, and we're better than everybody.

On the PGA tour, they do the closest tournament that they do to just Iowa is the John Deer Classic, and not one player in the top, like, 500 in the world goes and plays at the tournament. It's the center of the universe, like I said, the best people come from there. And that's kind of all you need to know.

Those are the spark notes on the state of Iowa. That's part of the week. They got this John Deer tractor that, like, hits a T shot on Tuesday. People go crazy for it. clown show it's a tough clown pretty awesome right so you get the win this year yes i always like to ask going into that week or during practice rounds of that week or anything did anything stand out as like this could be my week um well i played really well two weeks before in san fran and had my best finish

and finished second and kind of hadn't didn't really have my best game and finished second so i thought to myself, okay, well, you know, if I'm not playing that great and I can still have a finish like that, then when I do have my game, like, you know, maybe we have a shot here, right? Yeah. And then I went to Kingsmill and had a really good start to the week, had a good first round, was leading from the first round, and just thought to myself, okay, well, you know, if you keep leading, you know, every day and, you know, you can get somewhere with it. So just focused on playing good golf and really tried to keep pushing, like,

throughout the whole week, made, you know, a lot of birdies and kind of not many errors. It's a good combo. Ultimately came out the other side of it, and it, even talking about it now, kind of feels like it went by so fast the whole week. and it kind of feels surreal and like it didn't really happen. What about any crazy nerve levels on Sunday? Are you pretty cool? I felt actually pretty calm.

I did take a seat on the 18th because we were waiting for the group ahead on the front of the T-box. And I think people thought that I was like nervous and I was just like taking a seat. But I was just like tired. Yeah. So. Yeah, you're like I'm going to wait. When I wait, I would rather sit down and stand up. Honestly, it'd been a long week.

So I just literally took a seat and, yeah, then part of the 18th and the rest is history. You got the job done? Absolutely. So you mentioned waiting. You have any hot takes on slow play? Slow play's been... I hate slow play. I think I'm probably one of the quickest players on tour.

So what do you do if you're behind or paired with a slow player? I walk like 50 yards ahead of them. So try to send a message? I don't know. I just, I hate waiting. It's painful. It sucks. I really wish that there was more that could be done.

But ultimately there's already rules in place to where you get fined or you get a penalty if you're slow. And they're not really like being enforced. So I don't see what else you could do. It's tricky. We had Bryson on the show right after he became the lightning rod and everybody was calling him the slowest player in the world. And we did try to talk about it for like a half hour. and in the day, like, it's a very difficult thing to deal with. Yeah, I think the difficulty is that people argue, okay, we're playing for a lot of money,

you know, like, I want to make sure I got it right. But I've always, like, thought of golfers, you know, more of a, like, authentic sport as to where, like, you see a shot and you just go up and you hit it. Like, there seems to be a lot more that people are trying to take into account. but I don't necessarily think that it makes you hit a better shot. I think that sometimes knowing all that information could actually hinder you. Well, I mean, look at, I mean, you're one, you're a really fast player. Look at Brooks Kepp because the number one of playing in the world, he plays lightning fast.

It's like, well, clearly taking long or isn't the recipe to play better golf? No. It's not like essential to play better golf. No. So it is annoying. It's quite frustrating. It's really annoying. Like, I think I played, one time I played, it was a, it was a,

in Toledo and I had the worst third round ever and there was an odd number of people that made the cut so I was definitely like in last going into Sunday. But you did make the cut nice. I played on my own and I think I played in like two hours. It was amazing. And I actually shot my best round

all week and I was like, see, we can all play fast. We can do this. Did it become a challenge? Like I'm going to play as fast as possible. But no one clearly paid attention because we're still having this conversation. Right. It's never ending. I think, too, who was it like, Justin Rose? I was like, I think that was who said it where he's like, at the end of the day, if they're going to nitpick all the time, like, what are they going to cut off

like 20 minutes, 25 minutes? Like, there has to be either one drastic change or like you said, like, there was really not much more they can do because they already have the things in place. I just don't see how it takes longer than five hours to play around. And like for two of, well, our last two majors, it

was taking six hours to play. Six hours is outrageous. I mean, I have better things to be doing, like, than just playing golf. Six is preposterous. There's other things that we can do in the day. We don't have to just be on the golf course. But it's not looking likely that anything's going to change. No, I'm sure isn't.

Solheim Cup, playing your first Solheim Cup? Yes. You've got a big old smile on your face. I am very excited. How jacked up are you for that? Oh, yeah. I'm so pumped. I love match play and especially like being part of a team.

and obviously it's like the biggest you know like kind of scale like team event there is in golf for women so I'm very excited are you nervous no just excited do you think you'll be nervous probably a little bit but I think you have to be if you care about you know what you're doing nerves are good you just have to use it to your advantage I think there's going to be some serious fist pumps going on are you nervous about doing like an awkward celebration no during match play no I don't think So I hadn't really thought about it. Now I might be. That stuff goes viral, right?

Like you go for like a high five, you miss or someone goes for a fist bump or you do something. Well, I blame my caddy if it was if that happened anyway. Okay. That's good. Yeah. Doesn't change the picture of the video. Can we just clarify that now. That's good for you.

That's smart Frankie is now she has some viral weird moment that they're going to go back to that clip. That was Frankie. Frankie got in her head. This is huge. That is huge. He's excited. Good work, Frank. Thank you.

Appreciate it. Is there... You're warm at all? You good? I'm warming up. Okay. No, I'm feeling good. Is there, like, a group text that's buzzing with the girls?

There is, actually. There is some good content in there. Let me tell you. Do you guys, like, making fun of the other team? You have to be. Maybe a little bit. Yeah. I can't divulge.

Just roast in the other girls. Shit talking is, like, what drives, like, the motivation, I feel like, right? Absolutely. That's like you're playing against someone. Yeah. You want to beat them. You're not going to, but you're going to... Historically, Americans can be quite obnoxious.

I'm just going to say that. Okay. I don't think we're going to deny that. I will not argue that. So that kind of can drive, you know, some of the, you know, conversations and the group message. So that's what you guys are chirping about? How obnoxious Americans are? Yes. No, not old. I said I think that.

That's what I would be doing. No, I'm, I'm American and I know that we're significantly more obnoxious than the UK. And then in the American group chat, they're like, oh, they're so polite with their accents. I highly doubt that. And their tea and their shoes. I'm just trying. I don't know. I'm just trying to figure out what they could say because like you're like, I don't know, it feels like you have no,

you can't be like trash talked. Like you're just so laid back. Oh, I'm pretty sure we probably could. I'm saying you personally. Oh, like you take everything so easy. Like if someone says something, if someone says something,

fuck off. Yeah, I'd be like, okay. Yeah. I like it. Thanks. Okay. That was easy. Yeah.

Like she said she's sitting on the 18th tea box. Everyone's like, oh, she must be nervous. Like, no, I'm just like tired and I'm just going to win it in 10 minutes anyway. Yeah, exactly. I like it. What do you expect? You expect that a lot of love from the crowd, from the home crowd? Yes.

I love playing in front of an audience, so I'm very excited. Are you one of those people you get better in front of the audience? Yes, I think so. I think I'm just a show off, so. That's why I don't have nerves. Maybe. I think I must be what it is. Yeah.

I mean, I do have a little bit. Yeah. I use it like to. You channel it. Yeah. Yes, I do. I channel it and I think that honestly it helps me because it almost focuses me a little bit more.

Yeah. As opposed to sometimes like when, let's say like the scale isn't as big and the tournament isn't as big, I can almost like not focus enough. So like when it's that sort of situation, I feel like it actually helps me. Wow. I mean, that's a great skill to have.

Yeah. Must be nice. Yeah. It's a little brux. I mean, that's what you guys do, know? Like when you are about to, like, do your podcast, you get a little nervous. Yeah, I'd say more for radio because radio's live. Oh, yeah.

So you don't. That's scary. Yeah, you got to feel like two hours live and like usually we don't have any idea what we're going to talk about. Whereas coming into this, like, if we just fucked up, which just never really happens. But if we totally fucked up, we could just like cut it and do it again. Again, we don't really do that. But we could.

Yeah, we can't do that. No, you can't. No, can we go back? I'd like to do that shot over again. No, we're going to run it again. I didn't like that one. If we could, then there'd be a. plenty of people out there that would be going for those molligans or they'd be like no problem

that's just two-stroke penalty but yeah go for it you just do it over here played one over the green just drop another ball and just act like no one saw you what you're you guys that's funny that's what you went with frankie that's just what i do i can't i'm the worst short game player in the world really yeah i mean you're left-handed too right yes heard that you like think you can beat like what is it justin thomas like lefty what do you think about that he he's playing lefty as well justin thomas right yeah what do you think I mean, I haven't seen him play left-handed, but just going off how good he is right-handed. I feel like he can probably...

You think that translates? Yeah. I think a little bit. I don't know. I don't know. I think if he breaks 90 opposite hand, I think it's one of the most incredible athletic feats I've ever seen. For a guy that he doesn't play left in, and he's not ambidectuous. Well, I mean, how many...

JT's lefty action. She's watching it live right now. It looks pretty on playing there. Yeah, you know, it'll work. I'd say it's very good. And when he gets around the greens. I haven't seen your golf swing, but I'm guessing it doesn't look quite like that. I have a pretty golf swing, but I have the worst short game in the world.

So it's the short game that's the issue. I actually think I may be, I may have the most public worst short game on the internet. You're definitely the most notorious, horrific, like, short game player. Yep, short game player in the world. Yes. That's not good. No one else in the world is associated with worst short game play than I think I am. And it's not like, that sounds like I'm being like, I'm bragging, but it's actually one of the worst things that's ever happened to me.

So you also get nervous when you talk to girls and you don't have a good short game. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I mean, yeah. You're really connecting the dots over here. I guess every part of my game. Just took it and put it in your pocket. Yeah, really good. You just own Frankie Borrelli now.

Now I'm just an idiot sitting in a jacket just like. With no soul. No soul. I am a soulless jacket wearing freak. Here's Frankie's swing, by the way, if you want to watch it. Oh, that's true. I definitely want to see this. No, Frankie has an ice swing.

Yeah, no, it's very pretty. He just can't. I don't know. Get the ball. In the hole. Why show her that one? I actually want to see the old game. Let's see the short game.

Yeah, this isn't, this is. Here's a little slow-mo so you can, you can break down my plane. There you go. Watch that shit. There we go. Is watching Frankie? I mean, it's not bad. Is that your one from Cherry Valley?

Yeah. I mean, that's a small. Good as good as it. Where did the ball go, though? Went right down the middle. Oh, okay. Well, left side. But, airway.

Yeah. Yeah. I had to read. Yeah, no. It's just a sure. So he's gotten lessons from Bryson Dishambo. Okay. He's gotten lessons from Kevin Kisner.

He's gotten lessons from many other people. And I think it just gets worse. It's a mental. It's got to be super. Bryson taught me about hitting and focusing on the front of the ball. And, like, he drew a line. This was at the PGA championship. I'm sure he did a lot.

He did a lot. Yeah. It was a lot. Did he, like, break down, like, the molecular, you know components of the golf swing. He used a lot of big words. He used like pendulum and all this stuff. And it was, and he drew a line in the ground.

That's our big word. Big word. That's our big word. Wow. I knew I was going to care. Anybody have a dictionary? Let's look that one up. Should have just made one up.

I want to take that old. Well, this is a podcast so we could just cut here. He used these crazy words like this huge word. You can have your redo that. That's your redo. That one's staying. Here's the thing. He taught me how to like hit in front of the ball and I was super nervous. It was at Beth Page. That's like my home golf course at a major on the Wednesday before, you know, the PGA championship.

So I was super nervous. And the things he was telling me like, I don't know, I just didn't know, like, I couldn't like compute what he was saying. Like, you know, it was like such a big stage. It's such a big stage. So what he told me essentially just went in one ear and out the other. I don't even remember it happening. What Kevin Kisner told me was all about tempo. And I actually think that that's helped me the most. He, like, hooked me up to a metronome. Oh, really? And he's, like, on the first beep should be your back, your take back. The second beep should be the contact.

Because I just, it looks like, it honestly looks like if you watch me play a round of golf, you think that someone hit my swing and fast forward. It's like an acceleration into that. The whole back swing is like a millisecond. Oh, okay. It's crazy. So tempo, tempo, tempo's huge. I never really, yeah, I never really, like, put a mental, like, thought into that.

Long story is right. He sucks at you. I do show up. I do so. Tony of Kevin, he's like taking you on with a five iron, right? Yes. So, Kiz, I was going to ask you about that. Kiz is playing me with just a five iron.

I have my whole bag. I'm a six handicapped. I think I'm like a 6.4 handicap right now. So he thinks he'll probably shoot low 80s. He thinks that. Yeah, he'll definitely beat you. You think so? Yeah.

That seems to be the general consensus. Everyone except Riggs thinks that. I think it's pretty clear. 100% he will beat you. 100%? Yes. You're leaving me, I don't get a part of a percent of a chance. Well, unless, like, he doesn't turn up.

That's my only fucking jam. Right. That's great. What? He's like a, like, PJA tour, like, very successful, like, golfer. Okay. Right. Very good golfer.

No, he's very good at golf. I get that. He could play with his cluster and probably beat most people. Like, I mean, he's an athlete. He told me he thinks I should quit golf if I live. Oh, wow. I'm not going to do it. What are you going to do that?

Because that's all you guys do, play golf, no. Correct. That's like, that's literally my. That's the thing we're doing here. So maybe you shouldn't play. No, I'm not going to quit golf if I lose, but it's, I just don't get how he's going to make that many pars. I mean. Well, he probably has his five iron further than you're driving, no?

There's going to be, there will be multiple instances where he will out drive me. Yeah. I think. I'll fan one like a loser. What he said on the last. podcast was laugh out loud funny where he's like if i'm 140 yards out i'll just knock the ball backwards 45 yards 50 yards and just drill one right next to the pin from my perfect from my perfect five iron i love that he's like i'll just hit it to my dialed in zone and he'll make a four

he'll make a four meanwhile i'll be flapping around all you know i'll slap a drive in the right rough probably like played a wedge over the green chip it to 15 feet miss it tap in for boge and i'll I'll lose. I don't know the course layout, but the only time he'll come up to a real problem is if there's like a hundred and twenty-five yard par three over water. I don't know what he's going to do there. I mean, I know he'll still. Back foot, like, hard draw. But it'll be fun to watch.

What is this happening? Probably about a month. I'm excited. I've got around a month. I know. There's, it's going to be, if it's a good match, I'm fine. If he kills me with just a fireman, it's going to be a real step. backwards in my progression he has like the day of his life and shoots like a 79 with a five iron and

you just have a bad day right she's like 90 it's over right and i just get killed yeah it'd be terrible well that's the thing that happens to me with the j t stuff like if i play j t i'm supposed to win right like i'm a i'm a lefty golfer he's playing opposite hand and the pressure that comes on to me now is like everyone's just going to be watching me play around a golf on my strong hand regardless of what jt does let's say jt just hits the ball sideways whatever like oh he's just not a lefty golfer. But if I, like, let's say I win, I shoot a 95 and he shoots a 101, I still look horrible. Like, you just shot 95.

Like, you suck. It's true. Like, I just have to play well. All the pressures on me to just play well. That's how I feel about the kids match. This sounds like a therapy session. Yeah, it's a lot. We are.

I think there's a, yeah. Many people think that Ford Play podcast is going to take a couple big losses in the next couple months. So that's really what it's coming down to. Let's rip through some of these miscellaneous questions. How far does your stock seminar go? 152 It's about the same as mine

What part of your game are you most confident Um Probably iron play Okay I love my irons Like I'm your favorite iron Probably my 7 iron Not gonna lie

A little tin cup Yeah I like the little hold up Like 7 iron shot A big fan of a fade Do you like try to talk your catty into that shot Oh he he loves that shot Like when I say that I think it makes him happy inside.

When I tell him, you know, let's say he gives me like 150. We're like, how about the holdup 7-9? You know, he's like, I love it. He's like, hell yeah. He's pumped up for it. Yeah. What do I have to say? What yards do I have to give you to just hit that shot?

Exactly. He's out there doing. Who's your best friend out on tour? Allison Lee. That's right. Call her daddy. Yep. Yeah.

Degrade me. Degrade me shirts. Yeah. Sweatshirts. Yeah, that's all like token of friendship right there. For sure. Yeah. No doubt about it.

amazing. What's the most surprising thing that you've learned about life on tour? What a question. Yeah. Jesus grace. I haven't built this hard since college. What's the most important thing you've learned about life? Surprising.

Oh, okay. I think it's important. I could say like I didn't know that fucking dining was going to be this good or something. No, no. Okay. Okay. Okay. No, I thought she's like, well, you know.

It's surprising. You have to have family because it's not. that long on this earth. I didn't ask why are we here. The sun's going to explode and we're all, nothing's going to happen anyway. I would say like the amount of time spent like traveling, like away from home. I was surprised how much time you're on the go and then off season hits and, you know, you think life's great and you have a couple weeks off and then you're back again.

And then you do it all again and you wait till off season and then it comes and goes. and then you do, you know, so it just feels like you're constantly on the go. Okay. Any, what's your prediction for the Solheim Cup? That Europe's going to win. Sounded pretty confident? Yeah. I have a, I mean, we have a great team.

And I'm very confident in their abilities. And I think that the Americans have a good team as well, but I think we're better. That's it. All right. Okay. Has a fan from the gallery ever gotten under your skin? Yes. in Kingsmill.

Yeah, it was really, like, I remember it vividly. It was the seventh hall, and it's a reachable par five, and my shot was in, like, the semi-ruff, and I was, like, waiting for the green to clear, and I set up to over the ball to hit it. I'm over the ball.

And the guy in the crowd goes, hit it on the green. I'm like, what? Like, I was over the ball. So I stepped back and I was like kind of like thrown off. I didn't really know what to do. So I just kind of like looked at him. I didn't really know what to say and it was kind of awkward encounter.

And anyway, I went on to hit it on. Did you hit on the ground? Okay. All right. That's a win. But like I really was even after the shot, I was walking down the fairway saying to my caddy. I'm like, I can't believe he just said that. Like he just, I was over the ball.

I literally didn't know what to say. Yeah. I'm like, I've never had that before. Yeah. Obviously, the guys on the PJ tour they have to deal with stuff like that all the time. But, you know, we have like five fans watching on the LPGA at the best of times. Did you give like a look back or anything to them? Or like, I did it.

Like, no, hey, man. Remember when you said you didn't agree on the green? I didn't do it for you, but I did it. I was just so shocked. I didn't even know what to do. I just was talking to my caddy, like ranting going down the fair way. Like, I can't believe he did that. Like, what an idiot?

Blah, blah, blah. Anyway, obviously it. Maybe it helped. Yeah, maybe. Sounds like it dialed you right in. Maybe I should thank him. You don't want to encourage that behavior. It's not go crazy here.

Okay, that's true. Anybody from the gallery ever made you laugh? No, I don't think so. Maybe at the Seolheim Cup. Maybe, yeah. Actually, I was in, I don't know whether I should tell the story. Actually, now that it's come to my head. We're in Singapore.

We're here. We're playing with Michelle. and for some reason we got into the topic of talking about strip clubs in Vegas and we couldn't remember the name and a guy was listening to a conversation who was like

Spearmint Rhino and I was like yeah that's it so you guys know you're talking about Spearmint Rino just want to give you guys a hand great buffet chicken fingers fantastic

that actually did make me laugh a lot that's very funny Yeah, so. And you were on the course when that was happening? Yeah, we were just on the T-box. That's amazing. Imagine that guy. It's like, Spirman Rhino.

Yeah. Imagine that guy just had it on the edge of his tongue. He's like, I know that one. That guy's been waiting to talk about Spearmint Rhino forever. The best day of my life. That is very funny. Wow. We always have fun.

Yeah. I love playing with Michelle. Yeah. That's great. All right. Well, hey, good luck in the. Solheim come good luck going forward we very much appreciate you taking time thank you thank you for me we'll be rooting for you we've got now with Matthew Fitzpatrick and you

you guys are like our you're our Euro players you think I can beat him up Matthew Fitzpatrick probably not in that jacket oh right to the setback your soul is now you're left you're right all right see then again there's an issue there because you play left-handed yeah no I know that is an issue and I think that's why I put bad by the the way someone told me a little tip you're gonna start putting right-handed that'd be amazing Brock Nelson does it he's a lefty putts righty no people do it it's not but I thought the chipping was a problem everything's a problem okay the short anything short anything if I go out next time and you just chip and put right-handed that I'll be I don't know if there's any scientific

facts just maybe Bryson's the person asked but like aren't you isn't like your dominant like I'm supposed to be in the back of the putting you can read it better oh someone was telling me I don't worry about stuff you don't just roll the rock maybe yeah all right just stand up to an hit it. That's why we have slow play. Just don't get nervous when, just don't get nervous about messing up. That's why it's taking six hours to play around and golf. You just worry about not embarrassing yourself with the fistbone. I got it.

We're going to be watching. I'm fully confident at my ability to hit a long putt. We're going to be watching. We're going to be hawking that footage. Good. Hawking it. I can take it. Okay.

All right. All right. Well, thanks for coming in. Matty law. 24th ranked player in the world. Thank you for coming in. Thank you.
