Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Foreplay, presented by Barstool Sports. It's the second show of the week. It is Thursday, and we're back. We do not have Lurch. Lurch, I believe, is just all over the country right now, Sling and Drones. He posted, I think, on his Instagram story, just like his schedule.

So he hasn't responded to techs in terms of scheduling today. I'm on the West Coast running to the different Barstool Classic. So if Lurtz just randomly joins the middle of this show, that would be great. If you don't hear from them, that is why. Wolf Creek tonight. So 8 p.m. Eastern Time, our video from Wolf Creek, which is a video game course. It is not a real-life golf course, except it is a real-life golf course. It exists.

It's there. It's in the desert. There's crazy winds. We had 40-mile-an-hour wins. I believe that the superintendent, assistant superintendent said in their, you know, two, four, five years that they've been there, that it was a top-two worst weather day. to play Wolf Creek that they've ever seen. So this one is a good one, fellows.

I played so bad. I'm remembering it back now. I'm trying to walk myself through my round. I played so bad. Just really, really terrible golf. And it was a tough day. Yeah,

I think they might have even said they called it a bottom two day weather-wise. So it was, but it's an incredible golf course. You just, like you said, it's a video game golf course. You can't believe it actually exists.

So people are going to like seeing it for sure. Unfortunately, I think, for everyone in the world, not just us, but your play definitely bleeds into your, like, idea and remembrance of that round and your idea of that course and your love for that course. I still really loved the views. I think on every single T-box, you kind of took your, you took a step back and you're like, how is this a real place on earth?

Like, I just don't understand how there's green grass and they carved this golf course into these mountains. But aside from that, like, just not a fun time to play out there with 40-mile-an-hour winds. It's just like really not fun. Like, nothing about that was exciting or fun. Like, the actual game. I would have loved to just drive all 18 holes, like, with a cart and just look at it. Like, I didn't need to get beaten down that badly by the wind and just the cold.

And, yeah, I do want to go back one day and just nicer weather and kind of enjoy it more. See, look, I think everybody feels what you just said to some degree of, like, when you play really shitty at a place, You don't love that place usually. Like, yeah, you can try to act like this impressive, objective, you know, decider of quality of a place and the architecture. It was cool. If you go there and you just play horrible, you will usually have a bad taste in your mouth and be like, yeah, a place was like, all right.

Like, if it was really sweet, you'd be like, yeah, it was okay. It was it like great? And if it's average, you'd be like, yeah, a place kind of sucks just because you play a shitty. And conversely, if you play really well somewhere, you're going to be like, yeah, that course is fantastic. What a great, Chad, because you have such positive memories. Aaron Hills is the greatest golf course in the world to me. That's right.

That's right. I do think Frankie does it to an extreme, which is not surprising to anyone, that he would. But I think, like, I played really well that day, which is rare on those videos. I think his first travel show video that I've, like, really played pretty well. And Trent finally allowed me to actually, like, have an impact on the team. Like, I actually needed Trent to play like shit for a little bit so that I could then play golf because Trent, the first round, as everybody knows, was just dominating out there and making all kinds of net birdies and eagles and shit.

So I have probably more positive memory, but I think that's common with any group of, like, if somebody plays really well and other people play shitty, they're going to have different takes on the golf course. Also, Wolf Creek is, we use the term Mickey Mouse a lot, but, like, it's really not anything you've ever done before, like, for golf. Like, it's just, I don't know how you played so well at a place like that, because it's something that you just don't, you're not prepared for.

You can't go to the driving range and prepare for a place like Wolf Creek. A lot of the shots are just like, the drop-offs are insane. So, like, how are you supposed to know what club to hit and you're overshooting greens or undershoot? It's just, it's really just a different game. Yeah, it is. But it's, like, it was, it was very interesting in that the ball would bounce and roll and end up in places that you didn't in any way,

expect. We've all been on a tee where somebody hits a drive and you're thinking like, get over that bunker and it's 70 yards short of that bunker and you're like, oh, man, that was deceptive. And the whole golf course is like that at Wolf Creek where you're looking out there and you're like, all right, Frankie, I think that's a good line that looks really good. And then when it lands, everyone in the whole group is like, oh, whoa, that's like, that's way out there. And what hill did that hit? Is that over that rock cliff? Like, what's that? So it is kind of like that the whole time. So yeah, a little bit of it's just luck. Like I'm just hitting kind of like, I think that's the line,

and then you're hitting it pretty straight. You get up there and go, yeah, it's actually in a pretty good spot. So there's a pretty good amount of luck involved, I would say, to play well on a golf course like that with 40 mile an hour wins and nobody really with us to tell us like where to aim, right? Like, if you had a caddy that round, I think it probably would have saved everybody like six shots. Yeah, it would have helped a lot, especially on the greens.

Yeah, the greens were, this was when, Lurch too, he's not here, but Lurch wanted to murder me because we just weren't giving him putts and he was, he was, he could just continue to miss short putts and was getting very upset about it. And the more that he missed them, the less likely that we were to give him a putt. And then it got to put, Lurch would lag one or hit a good shot to like within four feet or so. And then the whole group could feel the, the tense of like, they're not going to say anything, are they? And like, we're like, we're not going to say anything, are we? And And it was like, he's going to have to put it, and then he would miss it.

And it just, it was a, it was just an interesting round. It was our third round. And there was, it was, you know, things were getting a little deflating at times. There were good moments. There's a very funny picture that I remember. I can't wait to see the footage of it, of Frankie and Lurch, like running down into a canyon, looking for a golf ball and Lurch, like holding Frankie shirt so that you basically didn't, we didn't lose you forever.

I forgot about that. Yeah, that was bad. I think I just didn't have enough golf balls to lose one. And I had to find that ball no matter what I did. And I didn't. So that's how that round went. Wolf Creek's coming out tonight. It's a video game course.

It's fun. Owens mixers. They're out all the time. You can get them on Amazon is huge. That's big for them. That's big for you. You can just whip up Amazon, go to Amazon, surf Amazon, whatever you want to call it, click a button, and that shit just arrives.

They've got a margarita mix, which I was actually. drinking last night playing Torrey Pines South, which I want to get into a little bit. Delicious. We've got the transfusion. It's Thursday. Transfusion Thursday. Delicious. It's a great cocktail for the golf course, for off the golf course, for at your home.

If you're watching golf, whatever the hell you're doing. You go to a restaurant. Who knows? Wherever you want to be, you can get a transfusion to drink. But we're big fans of Owens. You go to Owensamixers.com. They've got a store locator on there if you're trying to figure out where and how you can get the transfusion.

And they have a lot of other flavors, too. They take it very seriously in terms of being the best mixer. company they can. They looked at the mixer situation and said this is old. This is outdated. A lot of these mixer companies suck. We're going to come in as younger guys that understand what people want. We're going to whip up awesome mixes and flavors and you pour it in with a liquor and you have an awesome cocktail. So big thanks to Owen's mixtures. All right. All of us have played golf in the last 24 hours and I believe have some talk to do. I just wanted to say real quick, played Torrey Pines South last night. We were last group off at about 3.10.

with Josh from Owen's mixers and one of my buddies who's around and played it from like 6,600 yards. And boy, is that a significantly more enjoyable golf course from 6,600 than it is from 7,800 yards. Wait, so you mean you didn't want to run it back and play it from 7,800 yards again? You didn't want to do that? I actually had like golf PTSD, I think, when I arrived. And like the other two guys in the group had never played or been to Tori, and they're all jacked up. And I was standing there looking at the first tee, and I was like, fuck this golf course.

I don't, the wind was in the face again, and I was like, we're just going to run this whole miserable thing back again that was so bad for the group that it led Trent to go to like, like a born-again golfer camp down in Georgia and reevaluate his entire life when it's related to golf. Like, that's how bad it was. But when you play it from, you know, 1,200 less yards, it's actually a significantly more enjoyable and fun and pleasant golf course

to stroll around on. So I have a newfound love for Torrey Pines South course, if you will. So you've now changed your tune because I think prior to playing 7,800 yards, you said that it wouldn't make that big of a difference to your score because you weren't hitting greens anyway. How much of a difference was the same course from 1,200 yards differently, like the 1,200 yards separation? I think I had a 10-shot difference in my game.

Now, I'll say I hit it better, but still it would have been, it would have been at least, let's call it, six shots difference, which is over 18. I mean, that's a lot. Think about six shot difference in a round of golf is, you know, a 24 shot difference in a tournament. That's a massive difference. So, yeah, I would say it was at least just the yardage alone was at least like a six to maybe eight shot difference. Yeah, I agree. And we said that prior to playing Tori that that was going to come into effect.

You kind of like had me agreeing with you prior to that to us playing where you're like, oh yeah, like you just don't hit the green and two anyway. So like what's really the difference? You just got to make a chip in a punt anyway. But like it makes a fucking difference, man. Dude, there was a hole, okay, on the back nine where it's the, it's got to be 15, which is a hole that I yesterday, I hit a great drive. And I had, I think, 71 yards to the flag, to a back pin. and when we played it in the other, you know, two weeks ago, three weeks ago from 7,800 yards, I remember I didn't reach the fairway and I think I had like 285 in or something.

It went from 390 to like a 540 yard par four or something. And I legit had, like I made, I think a three, that was a three shot difference on that one. My score was a three shot difference. So, yeah, I mean, it's, I got to give a. credit too. I mean, we just did the Owens. So Josh Miller, who's one of the co-founders of Owens, who's a good buddy of ours, had his first ever career eagle on the sixth hole, the one that Lurch made like a nine on and like where... The one that I birdied. The one that Frankie Bertie, where's the hardcore dog leg right. And if you spray it a little bit right, you're just re-teeing.

And granted, we played it from probably, you know, 50 yards closer or whatever it is. So it was like 510 instead of 570. But he, he, you know, he played it from probably 50 yards closer or whatever it is. So it was like 510, But he went driver hybrid to like 15 feet and canned it. He's, I think, a 12 or 13 handicap, and it was his first career eagle. Wow. That's a, yeah, that hole actually, for some reason, I've only played it twice, and I've had a seven-foot putt for Eagle that I end up making a par on. And then I had, and then I made a birdie the next time.

So I love the sixth hole. Something about that sixth hole just fits my eye. But that's fucking great. That's just a nice one to have in the bag. Torrey Pines South, Long Hole, Eagle, first career. So shout out to Josh. Yeah, Lurch and I do not have good memories on that hole. The only thing I recall from that hole is him and I,

we kept walking back and forth to the cart because we had to keep getting balls because we would just put it a little bit right. And that's death on that hole. So that, I think Lurch made a nine. I probably made it 10. That's a tough hole for me in Lurch. Yeah, and the wind's always coming off the Pacific. So it's like blowing it towards the shit, the giant hole in the ground.

if you call it that. So that hole, I believe, plays as a par four for the guys in the tournament from the T's, the green T's that we actually ended up playing yesterday. So it's a little over like 500 yards. But hardcore dog league right, and he got his first eagle. So that was cool to see. But it was just, it was a world of difference. I mean, hitting a good drive and having like a wedge or a midiron or short iron into a

hole versus hitting a good drive and having like 220 plus into a lot of the par fours, I mean, it just changes your whole experience. because you're, I mean, from 220 to 250, you're standing there being like, all right, I have a 0.0% chance of hitting the green. Like, no. Right. It's just not, I've never done that before. Maybe one out of 200 shots from, from, you know, 220 plus I actually hit onto the green. That's just a three iron for me or worse.

Whereas when you're like 130 to 170 out, you're like, all right, I should hit the green here. Like, there's a decent chance I can hit the green here or be close. So it made a world difference. Tori's beautiful. It still has the Muni vibe to it, which we've talked about a good amount, but you know, with like the range and the net and the range like isn't great, it's like concretey. And then even like around the, you know, you see people like the trash cans on the tea are just overflowing with like beer cans on a Tuesday. So you still have the muni vibe, yet they're getting ready for the United States open, like the biggest championship in golf. And, and that's

coming next month. And yet it's still, Muni vibe. So I'm pumped for that. I love that it's the Bethpage Black of the West Coast. I love that. I'm very excited for the behind the greens to come out because I know you're going to document all of that and a lot of the transitions and transformations of the range and kind of turning it from a muni. Like it is a fucking muni to a U.S. Open course. It's just cool. It's just different than when they go to a private track. We got to get back out there at some point and play it from 66. Oh, sorry. Go ahead, Frankie. We had Reese Jones, like, was out there, and he's going to be part of our Behind the Greens, one of our segments in that video. And he is just a legend of the game.

I think at one point he drops a line in Behind the Greens where he's like, I am responsible for bringing public golf courses to the United States championship. Like, it's just, like, I am the reason why. And he's like, it's his greatest honor, I think he may have said, where it was like bringing a course that you can go play on a. Tuesday and fill up that garbage cam with trullies and all these beers and stuff can also be played by Tiger Woods and a trophy can be hoisted on the same 18th green that you can go play on a Wednesday for 60 bucks as a local. So that is fucking awesome. And Beth Page, when he did

at Beth Page is awesome. So big shout out to Reese. I mean, when you guys see this footage of him, we walked and talked with him kind of like a news segment thing where he kind of was like talking about it. and he also was playing. I mean, he may be like, what was he, 80 years old? And the guy was like a ho-hum, like putting for par on, like, the longest hole in the golf course. It was the craziest thing. I was like, Reese, are you putting for par right now? He just was talking and hitting and walking.

And he's just like, the guy is such a legend. And what he's done with Tori is awesome. Can't wait for that video to come out. Yeah, it's going to be good. It's going to be really good. And, yeah, we've got the whole video of us playing the courts from 70-100 yards, too. but it's, it was very clear yesterday, too, still, this close to the tournament. You know, the groups in front of us were, like, one of them was in, like, blue jeans,

and they were, you know, leaving wedges all over the place. Shout out to our guys, our crew, we do that a lot, too. But it's like they, you know, they're topping shots off the tea, and they're laughing, and they're having Stogies, and they got beers, and they're wearing jeans, and she's not supposed to wear, and then literally in a month, it's just Dustin Johnson and John Ron, and Ian Poltuck, these people were just going to be playing, this golf course trying to win the, you know, the biggest title, one of the biggest titles you can win in golf. So it was cool. It was great.

I had the, I had the Bushnell out there, okay? The old Bushnell Wingman, this thing's great. I actually just plugged it in. So if you're not familiar with the Bushnell Wingman, it is the first GPS rangefinder that will also, it'll play music to all that, but it'll also just hit a button and it tells you front, back, center. You sync it up to this app boys. I've actually got the first hole at Monarch Beach here. We're too far away.

We're two miles away. But this thing would give you the map of the hole, which I'm showing to these guys. So you download the Bushnell app. You sync up the wingman to the app, and then you just hit this button whenever you want, which I'm showcasing right now. 999 yards. Front 999. Back 999.

Now, obviously, we're 999 yards away because we're 2 miles away from the golf course, and I'm not within range of an actual golf course. But that puppy gives you that when you just hit the... the button. It's awesome. The Bushnell Wingman is such a good addition to any round of golf. We're all into the vibe of listening to music now when you're out there playing. I think we all have pretty much been that way for a long time. So why wouldn't you just mix in your GPS with the fact that you can listen to music? It's got 36 holes of battery power, so up to 10 hours on a single charge. You go to Bushnellgolf.com slash four. You can order your wingman golf speaker today, the remote

It fits nicely in your pocket. It's basically just like a ball marker, like this little remote right here, as you guys know. I'm showing you, but I'm also showing all the folks on YouTube. This little ball, this little button, you just put this thing in your pocket. You hit the button and it just... 999 yards. Front 999. It just gives you the yard.

Back 999. It's awesome. So do yourself... This is the wrong thing to say, but it feels like a little detonator. You're just like, all right, what am I going to... Where do I need to hit this golf ball and you hit the little detonator? it tells you where you need to go. It's also just fun.

Like when your buddy is, you arrive at the ball and he begins kind of his process. You can tell he's looking around. Maybe he's trying to grab some range finder from the card or he's looking for a second. And then you just hit the button. It's a very funny and cool moment. Everybody gets a good chuckle out of. Like, oh, yeah, that thing just will just talk to me and tell me the yardage to the front, the back, and the center. Shout out to Decade Golf where maybe you just want to play to the center of the green boys.

You don't want to be aiming at Penn because trying to make birdies is stupid. You're just trying to avoid bogeys. but do yourself a favor. Go to Bushnellgolf.com slash 4. Order the wingman golf speaker today. You fellows had an interesting day yesterday. It seemed like first round for Trent Daddy since his lessons with Mr. John Tilleri down in Georgia.

Yeah, I don't know how much we're going to get into my actual score from the round because the video is going to come out. We still got my first couple days down in Georgia coming out where I learned the new swing. And then, yeah, Frankie and I went out yesterday, Brookfield Country Club. and we played around. It's a beautiful golf course. We had a lot of fun. Again, I don't know how much I want to give away about my game, but it is, I mean,

working in a new swing for the first time, because I, like I said on yesterday, that was the first time I was using my swing. It was two days after I left John Tillery's facility. So we're just, we're still working out some of the kinks. We're still working out some of the processes that go along with that. But I think overall, and Frankie can speak to this. I think he was pretty impressed by what he saw, at least early on in the day. Yeah, I don't want to give away too much.

But like when Trent stepped up to the driving range and hit his first ball, I couldn't believe what I saw. I mean, it was like the most aggressive swing I've ever seen. It was like, it was almost like someone sped him up like a hundred times on a video. And it was like, what just happened? I almost had, I asked him what just happened there? It was just a new person, lower body, movement, knee bending a little bit, the toe was up, the toe was down, the heel was up,

he came through the ball, I was like, holy fuck. What Trent did on the first T was something I don't know if we'll ever see again. Like, hopefully we do, but, I mean, he piped a drive, and I'm going to give this away. He piped a drive like 275 yards right down the middle with like a little bit of a draw. And everyone at Brookfield Country Club was like, well, this is fucking stupid. Like, now he's just going to break 90 today. Like, I just don't understand why you guys would do it. Why did we set this up?

And I do want to thank Brookfield Country Club. Brandon over there, the Super, is phenomenal. He is just one of the nicest dudes of all time. You know, this is the club where it's from Wolf of Wall Street, where Leo is crawling out of the clubhouse saying, like, Donnie, they're on the phone. He's on all the ludes and stuff. So it's just got a lot of history.

And the greens there are fucking diabolical. They got the Rainer, like thumbprints, and it's all the fucking crazy undulations on the greens. you can't believe some of these twists and turns that it takes. So for Trent, he wants to play ball and hole. He wants to not have anyone reading the great. Like, he just wants to break 100 with his own game, his own ball, you know, reteeing from the team when he hits it out of bounds, the whole thing.

So it's going to be a really fun watch. I had a great time out there with him. I personally, I played pretty well, like a side, like on the side of him. Like it was fun to, like, root him on. And then also I was just playing, like, decent golf. I'm playing ball and hole too now. like Trent has now made me want to improve my game. Ball and hole is how you get better.

I'm convinced. I'm standing over putts. I'm draining three foot and four foot puts. Yeah, I missed a couple like two foot little sliders, but like you have to get better at those. Like I genuinely think that I got into the rhythm where I felt like I was putting to just get a gimmie. Like, oh yeah, they'll just give me that. You know what I mean?

And now I'm legitimately putting so that I don't miss the next one. And I think that's making me putt a lot better now. we're like, I can't fuck this one up. I have to get this close. Or else this is a triple. Yeah, I agree with that. I 100% agree with that. And I think there's an element of, like, fun.

It's fun to grind a little bit. Like, it's in the same way that when you're, you know, when you're really into a video game, right? Like, you're not just playing to listen to music and fuck around. Like, there's a competitive edge to you that you want to get better. You want to, like, prove to yourself that you can do the thing and you can post a good score. and you're, even though no one else cares maybe what you shot,

you and your mind and the way that you sleep for the next few nights, you're like, you know, dude, I was putting everything out, and I posted a good number. I'm on to something now. I'm back, boys. Like, that's such a good feeling. So I agree. And we've, we've contradicted ourselves probably on this,

because we talk a lot about, like, if you're bitching online when you see a video, like, oh, they're picking up a couple of puts. People aren't, like, picking up 25 footers and claiming that we made of. It's like in match play, especially when it's two-on-two matchplay, you're trying to keep up the pace of the course, you're out there to have a good time. It's like if your buddy's in for a four, and now you've got, you know,

two-foot, like two-foot three-inch put for a four or five, it's like you should just pick that fucking thing up a lot of the time because we're moving on here, baby. Like, we're all here for the matchplay. Nobody really gives a shit if you post that, and you're probably going to make it 90-something percent of the time. Anyways, it's a big deal. But if you've got the time or the group in fronties, like you're not in a rush,

and you're kind of right on their tail anyways and you kind of get into that groove. Like, no, boys, I'm going to kind of put everything out all day and you take your time with it, line it up real quick and knock them in. Like, it feels good to do that. And it's a good skill to like to do well because you never practice it. Like nobody's lining up seven, two and a half footers on the putting ring and like making sure you knock those in. Like you practice eight footers or whatever.

Yeah, and I also think it's just a good like reset on your game. Like where's your game actually at? Like, all right, let's see like what we shoot today. Like yesterday I shot an 89. and I felt like it was like a legitimately hard grind 89, which like if I'm playing match play, I'm probably like, ah, like I just didn't play that well today.

But like I was like hitting long putts and like lag puts and create. We didn't have a caddy out there. So like a lot of three puts and a couple four puts. So it was a grind and it was fun to do that because you're finally seeing like, if I played in a tournament today, what would I have shot? And I like to do that once in a while. Now I actually think it's going to make me a better match play golfer because now my lag putts are just going to be better and I'm just going to be getting a lot of

of gimmie putts for my buddies and we're just going to move on to the next hole and my score will be better in matchplay. So it just makes you a better golfer overall and I just enjoy to do it once in a while. So Trent's Breaking 100 series will be a fantastic journey. We said basically he went to surgery, then he went to like post-op like he was in the recovery room and now he's in like physical therapy. And physical therapy is almost like it hurts more. It hurts more. more before it gets better. And like, but Trent legitimately came out swinging. So keep an eye out.

When's this going to come out, you think? Like within like a month or like people, because people are just fucking gassed up for this. Right. Like I put on my Instagram and I put it on Twitter like attempt number one and I put up the picture of the first T. And people are like, all right, it's been 13 hours. Like let's get an update. And it's going to be on YouTube over the next couple of weeks.

I think the first episode is going to come out at the end of the month and then they're just going to roll out from there. So it'll be a couple of weeks before people see it. But yeah, it's, I think it's going to be a great series and the other part about this is they knew we were coming to Brookville yesterday. They knew the night before. And we've run into this for years now. But it actually like is a bigger deal to me now because before when they would set up the golf course in a hard way, like you guys, you guys are like, fuck, I'm fuck now. The greens are rolling. The pins are more difficult and I would always just like I'm going to shoot 110 to 120 and it's not going to totally matter now they definitely set that golf course out to be hard yesterday and I think I'm going to run into that a lot more and it's going to it's going to be an interesting run no super wants to be the guy that Trent broke 100 at on his golf course right it's like our guy brandy yesterday was like I'm going to be the laughing stock of long island if if he just shows up to brookville and just breaks a hundred the guys never broke a hundred his life So it's very funny that that is now like in everyone's mind.

And we will do like a Long Island tour of golf courses and they will know when we're coming. And it will be hard. I mean, I think that guy had that running at like a 15 years. I mean, we show what the practice green was doing. It was, we say this a lot. Laugh out loud, funny how fast those greens were for this time of year. I mean, look, if Trent shows up to your course and you're and he, he shoots. 94, your course is considered forever a joke.

Like, your course is a puck puck court. And that's not, I'm not trying to raise for Trent. Yeah, like Trent came up and did something that no other golf course in the world has surrendered to him before in double digits. Right. Yet your golf course did. So that's just another hurdle. One of the biggest wrinkles and honestly had Trent's heart pumping more than I've ever seen his entire, in my entire life, I've never seen Trent this nervous. Joe La Cava was at Brookville

yesterday, and that's Tiger Woods 's caddy for all those that don't know. I mean, he's just the nicest, coolest man of all time. We got to spend some time with him after. He is, I mean, he got to spend a lot of time with him after. It was awesome. It's one of the best golf experiences I've had.

I fucking love Joe La Cava. His kids are big fans. I mean, his daughter was like tricks in the office. She couldn't believe that Trent was golfing around her dad and, like, the son, and remembers the time that I had to ID him at Beth Page, where he's like, oh, I'm Joe Lakov's son. I'm like, prove it.

He's like, oh, here's my ID. So we have a really good back and forth with him, but there was one moment where we crossed paths on the course. Joe started on the back. We started on the front, and like he's on six and we're on 15, and he just kind of meandered his way over to the edge of a green. And this is kind of before we really kicked it off with him. We had a lot of, like, post-round talk and drinks and stuff.

but in the middle of the round we really didn't talk to him that much and he just stared Trent down to see if he was going to make this put the whole crew Joe La Cava his buddies and Trent standing over like a three foot slider and I'm like Trent I want you to know that Joe La Cava Tiger Woods is caddy is watching you right now like and Trent like was like why did you like step off the putt reread it like I think I may have even said to you no matter what he does do not tell me what he's doing like if so even if he starts walking closer to me me he's got his hands on his tips. Tell me he's off to the next team. Like, do not tell me what Joe La Cava is doing. If he pulls out, like, if he pulls out a handgun, is it about to put it up

to my tempo? Don't say anything. Don't tell me anything. Right. Like, if he's got, yeah, if he's got a family member of mine kidnapped and they're running away, like, do not tell me what's going on. I do not care. Frankie's like, oh wow, Joe La Cava is watching you about to hit this putt and I was like, fuck you. This guy watches Tiger Woods put balls into holes legitimately puts on green jackets at Augusta National and he was standing there watching Trent would like legitimately wanted to see if that ball went in the hole so you'll have to watch the video to see if Trent succeeded on that green but just yeah no we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna give it to me there fuck that no we're gonna tease that it was

high pressure situation you have to you have to watch the video that that's one of those like you have to watch it to see it wow you teased you really teased it I respect the business move but I'm upset on a personal level because I want to wanted to know if we made it. And there was a reaction from Joe La Cava after this put. So like that's even more of a tease. Like a big reaction. All this is on, all this is on the camera? This is on the camera. Yeah. This is, it's fucking awesome, dude. People also aren't going to believe the 18th poll with what happens the way I finish. And because the clubhouse is right there and there's, there's a bar right above there. And people were watching. It was a, it was a whole

fucking thing, man. Riggs, all of Brookfield Country Club was, the place was fucking quiet. It was like 6.30 at night on a Wednesday or Tuesday. And we're like, oh, we're out here by ourselves. And all of a sudden, Trent gets up to this impossible chip that you wouldn't believe. He had to literally, like, evade a floodlight that was like a part of the practice putting. Dude, I had to like, yeah, I had to like take it like that. And, and all of a sudden I hear like a muffled noise like, go.

I'm like, where's that coming from? The whole club. Maybe 50 guys are banging on the Brookville bar glass going, come on, Trent. They're like lifting their shirts up. And I'll have to save that one also because like Trent noticed that they all were watching them. Dude, you can hear. It was like the Beatles were just got off the plane to, they were going to Shea Stadium. It was, I've never seen anything like it.

It's like hockey. When they're down there by the glass, just pounded it on the glass. It sounds like. It's going to be a good video. It's just going to live up to the hype. I think people are, there's going to be a lot of hype after you go to John Tilleri and that video comes out for your first round. This lives up to the hype, I think.

So keep an eye for it. Things just happen, huh? You guys just show up out there, you know, we have a nice little Tuesday round. We're going to do some, we're going to film some stuff for the boys. It would be fun. And like, shit just happens. You got Beatles-like receptions when you come up 18. You got Joey La Cava's out there.

It's like, I don't know. I don't know. Things just happen. It's the barstool magic, man. When Dave and I would sometimes just show up to a pizza place and then the biggest cast of characters in New York City pop out of the pizza place and it becomes a viral sensation. It's just sometimes things just happen at barstall. And I think that's kind of the charm. Right.

Like the barstool difference that everybody knows about is when things go comically wrong, which happens all the time. But then there is that barstool magic where, yeah, Frankie and I were like, hey, let's find some place to play on Long Island. Frankie was like, we can go out to Brookville. didn't think anything of it. It's a Tuesday afternoon. Don't think anything's going on. And we get there and on the first tee is Joey La Cavaa. Like that only happens at Barstool.

Considering we had like four different golf courses that we were maybe going to go to like that morning. And Brookfield we just landed on. And maybe arguably one of the best caddies of all time is just standing on the tea. Tiger Woods is pal. Like it's just, yeah, it's phenomenal. It's great. I mean, that man was carrying the bag up the 18th hole at Augusta National. 2019 for maybe the best moment in like golf history.

Hopefully one day down the road we'll get Joey to come on like the pod and like we'll talk about things like on the record and stuff. But he's just like the best storyteller ever. You know what I mean? He's captivating. Like he's sitting there kind of like retelling like his side of the stories on 18 and like winning the masters and even just like in the 90s like all like all these stories he's had and the way he tells him like people gravitate to him.

It's like you almost. we're so lucky to have a guy like Joey La Cava on this earth that's able to experience these things and then retell the story so well that I'll remember it for the rest of my life. You know what I mean? Like if I tell a story, everyone's like he was so mumbled and he was like a fucking neurotic psychopath. I don't even know what he said. Like Joey like has cadence. You can almost see like he's almost moved to tears when he talks about it.

It's like. And he's not bombastic, right? He's not like, and then this happened. But he tells it in so, I almost want to say it's nonchalant, but then you realize he's also talking about, like you said, Riggs, one of the biggest moments in golf history, but he tells it in such a way and it just like unfurls in front of him. I agree. I hope we can get him on the show someday just so we can hear him talk about some of the things that he's been through. It's like, like that we always talked about that shot that Tiger hit like on 18 on Sunday, like that flail out, right? And it's just like the way that he describes how good Tiger Woods is that.

golf that he knows he knows exactly where his misses are going to be to the point where when he takes the club head back when he takes the club back he can adjust on the fly to be like uh-oh like this is going i'm going to push this one right as he's like swinging on maybe the biggest swing of the day it's just and he knows the exact yardage that an off-the-toe eight iron would go and he knows exactly where that location is on the golf course it is and i'm not doing the story justice and i will not retell it I won't, he just went on and on about just how lucky he is to be just on the bag. And the craziest thing, what, what tournament was up there on the TV when we were talking? Oh, shoot.

There was just, there was a tournament on TV and, and he's telling a story about the messers. He goes, oh, yeah, and then on this chip. And it's just Tiger Woods chipping. He goes, yeah, on this chip. And he's telling the story about what we're watching on the TV on Golf Channel. He's like, yeah, that's my view right there that you see from that camera angle. I'm just like standing right there, like watching, watching the greatest golf. for a while. I was just like, you are

a mythical creature. We talk about Tiger being a mythical creature, but Joey's like right there next to him. Yeah. It's also he's so clearly salt to the earth that everything that he says comes from a, like just you take it

very genuinely because you know that he's not for show, he's not flashy, he doesn't care, he's just telling the story because he enjoys the experience so much that he likes to share it and he's a salt to the earth dude so you're just like this is this is my guy and we're like there's no way that our crew is we're not the only people that think joe is our guy like he's just boys with like everyone he meets

because he's that kind of guy and he happens to be tigers like you said like he probably could like he tell you more and better things about being in those moments and the tiger woods moments we want to talk about then tiger woods probably would right because he's just like it's just like it's absorbing it all he's not in the moment he's able to take a step back and see it and he remembers everything and just like the stories about going out there on the course in the morning and what his job is getting prepared for a Sunday at the Masters where Tiger Woods thinks he's going win. It gives me the chills just thinking about it. I fucking love Joey La Cava. I want him one day to just talk on the record on fucking Fourplay podcast, maybe down the road when he's not so tied up with

things. I mean, like it's a tight ship over there. So Joey is just the man. Tiger is so lucky to have a guy like Joey not only just like his skill and his like their relationship his skill but his relationship with Tiger is so like you I want Joey as like in my life I want a Joey La Cava to help me get through like my life and my job like I want him to sit here and like help me get through things that's how fucking nice he is like I just want to be around that guy yeah he's got a calming presence which might be the number one thing you need in the cat where you just I don't know I always feel like things are going to be okay and his relationship with his kids is like maybe one of the best relationships I've ever seen.

Like they are his biggest fans. Like they're, he's face dominoom, soup. He calls his daughter, Sue. He was like, we were like soup. He's like, oh, I'll call soupy. And like, like, the daughter's like, trach going crazy because the fucking chicks in the office. It was just, it's just a preposterous way to end that day. And I fucking love Joe La Cava.

And he deserves all the credit in the world for just like how nice of a guy he is. Yeah. I will die saying that Joe Lovava is one of the nicest. people I've ever met. That is just so cool that you guys had that day with it. Like that is just so, that's so cool. That guy's just there.

He's there for Freddie's shot. When he won the Masters, he's there for Tiger. He's been through so many moments. He's got the spotlight on him all the time, and he's just right there. Like, he is in the moments where we stop our world because we are glued to everything that one man is doing. That one man only has one person on his team in all those moments.

And that's the guy right there. Yeah, it's insane. It's insane. Crazy. Shady rays, baby. You got to have shades on out there, all right? You got to have sunglasses. That's what I'm talking about.

Shady rays, who I'm holding this pair right now, never understood why sunglasses were so expensive. I think we've all been there before because guess what? Sunglasses, you can lose them, you can break them. They're sunglasses. You just throw them on the top of your hat. You take them on a table. And yet they're that expensive, and they seem to all do pretty much.

a similar thing. While Shadyrays, they're not for it being that expensive. You can use the code for. You get 50% off two or more pairs at Shadyrays.com. You buy one, get one free if you want to call it that, but you can get two pair of Shadyrays for just $48, even with their very, very strong warranty. They still manage to make quality that I can tell you holding in my hand, which I'm doing right now, seems just as good as any expensive pair, and they are just as good. Their policy I'm talking about the craziest thing about Shady Rays is their warranties, their warranty program. Replacements if shades are lost or broken for any reason. It doesn't matter what happens.

Drop them in the ocean, leave them on the golf course, anything. They will replace them. You try that with your high-priced shades and they'll pretty much laugh at you. We've been on the Shady Rays train for a while. And look, not every pair of sunglasses is great for the golf course, right? You're trying to see the course. You're trying to see the break. You're trying to be able to look down on the ball and have some sort of athletic content.

with the golf ball. I rock these when I do play all the time when it's really sunny out, and they're just perfect. They're fantastic. They're perfectly polarized the way that they just sit on your nose and on your ears. They're comfortable. It's really hard to find. Yeah, polarize. There you go. It's really hard to find glasses that just have like the integrity, like the look and also like the sleekness. So I don't know how I explain that. Like I've had glasses before with like a really thin. I just look like a blind person, I guess, because I'm inside, but that's okay. What's this right here?

What would you consider the part that goes over your ears on the glasses? Is it a frame? Sunglass frame? Trent, you're a four-ice kind of guy. Oh, you're a dork, Trent? Tell us about those. I'm a fucking nerd. Which, by the way, not to derail this Addery, but yesterday, you know who wore glasses?

It wasn't just me. Fuck, man. Frankie Borelli wore glasses yesterday. And he actually looked really, really good because he's got that Stai situation going on. So he can't wear his contacts and he wore glass. You look a lot smarter when you wear glasses, I think, Frankie. I just, you know, I can't really rock them around the office. But, like, yeah, you know, they're no shady rays.

But, like, you know, now I can just see you guys. You know, it's just, it's kind of tough. Like, I just don't like a, I don't know. you look like an accounting firm intern when you wear those or something. Yeah, it's just not me. Like, I've just never been like a glasses kind of guy, like in public. That's why I wear contacts. I just feel like, I don't know, maybe I should wear it.

Maybe they would help my girlish features, like, because it kind of just, there's more just jagged edges on your face. There's just things happening before they see the softness. But I did just get a pair of shady rays sent to my house when, when I, I saw, like, everyone that was at my house was like, whoa, when I pulled them out, they're like, those things just look really expensive and they're just not, which is, which is kind of like the place you want to be in, especially with sunglasses. You, like, lose them from time to time and they're always bouncing off your head.

Like, you want to just have something that's reliable and that's super affordable. And that's what Shadyrays is. Use the code four. You get 50% off two or more pair at ShadyRays.com. Redeem only at ShadyRays.com where you can find all their newest and best shades. Rory McElroy, obviously won on Sunday. We got into it a little bit with Scott, with Scott Fawcett on Tuesday show, but we haven't really been able to go into it with just us.

Pretty amazing, pretty amazing turnaround. Rory was really about uninspiring on the golf course this year as I'd ever seen him. I mean, he just wasn't playing well. He missed a bunch of cuts. He was hitting his driver all over the place. He had the confession of, you know, trying to change. distance. A lot of people kind of tied that to Bryson being like, oh, he's just been affected by what Bryson's doing. He admitted that, you know, said it had kind of messed up his swing a little bit.

He was trying to revert back to what he was doing, you know, new swing coaches, all kinds of different stuff. And he takes a few weeks off, reappears, goes to Wells Fargo, to Quail Hollow, which is a major championship course, where they're going to have the Presidents Cup next year. They have the PGA Championship, I believe it was 2017 when JT won, really difficult golf course, where he's won a few times before, and he just looks fucking great. He hit the ball really well. I wouldn't say he hit it as well as, like, in his peak, when he just could step up and be absolutely automatic,

but he had stretches where he did. He putted really well, which we make fun of his putting a lot, and he got it done. So I think Trent's probably the biggest, I mean, Trent has said before that he would root for Rory in the Ryder Cup over the United States of America. That is simply not true. You always put those words in my mouth.

We had a debate about it, and I was like, I was going back and forth on it because I love Rory. I think at the end of the day, I would still root for Team America no matter what. It's just that I do love Rory. And I think everyone on this show will agree that when Rory McElroy is playing well when he's winning tournaments, golf is a bazillion times better. He's like the Celtics or the Lakers where when the NBA is at its best, it's when the most, you know, historic and well-known franchises are playing well. I think the same thing applies to Rory McElroy. When he is playing well and when he's winning tournaments or when he's just in the mix,

things are better. He's one of the best, probably the best ambassador for the game of golf that they could ever ask for. He is just Rory McElroy. And when Rory McElroy is around and when he's playing well, everything is on the up and up. I think we can all agree to that. 100%, dude, I agree. I mean, it was nice to see Rory back in the mix. like watching him was exciting um i i yeah no it's just been a while since he's really had that

rain so i don't know that he deserves that like lakers like comparison just because like i don't know there's a lot of guys on tour now that i feel like bring the juice now it's not just a rory mackerel like it's been a lot of years since he's really really been a force force right like wouldn't you agree yeah it has but i i i yeah i'm more with treas in that I think Rory and like Spieth maybe are almost on their own level in terms of this crop of players of moving the needle of like just general interest. If you hear there in the mix, you turn on the TV, I think. And I don't know that really anybody, like I think you could argue Rory might have it more

than anybody outside of like Tiger Woods at this point. Right. Yeah, I guess I'm moving the needle then. Yeah, I agree. It's just like when you say those names, it's like that's the team that are just always in the championship every single year. That's why that comparison to me is just like a little bit different. Like there's he just hasn't been there.

Like I like if we're talking about the NBA comparison, there's been years where the Celtics and Lakers, they had down years. They just weren't into it. And then when they reemerge, people are like, oh yeah, this is that team. And I know these teams and they're recognizable. And it brings more eyeballs to the sport. I think, yeah, obviously there's been a lot of conversation about speed in terms of this this year. like, is there anybody better or does anybody move the needle more when they're playing well? I think the conversation between Speed and Roy, I think that's a close one.

But Rory probably has the edge. He's just, I don't know, there's just something about he's got one name. He's got one name, guys, that's a big deal. You just hear Rory and you know what it is. You know what he represents. And so when he's playing well, I just think there's really nothing like it other than Tiger Wood. I think a big part of it is his walk, man. The way that guy walks, he walks like he's got a,

fucking 13 inch dick. And it's just, it's unlike anybody else's walk I've ever seen. It's a strut. It's a powerful, cocky walk. It's a bob. He's playing. Yeah, he bops. Yeah, Frankie's described it as a bop, like a powerful bop, big dick walk

that's unlike anyone else walks, and maybe in the world, but definitely in golf. And when he's playing well and hitting those absolute piss missiles, like 350, I think that one hole, it was maybe the second or third hole at at Quill Hall where he hit at like 376 or something off the tee.

He just took a preposterous line over the trees and then he did his big, bop, giant dick walk. That just adds to the allure of him and it makes it, like, because there's so much downtime in golf and golf coverage that when they cut to him and he's walking like that, you're like, holy shit, look at this guy.

He's also one of those guys where we're watching him grow up. We've watched him from when he was really young and we make one of those pictures that you see where he's chubby and he's got the hair and he just looks It was hideous. He was hideous.

Yeah, I'm the Rory guy. I don't want to call him hideous, but you know, you can say that and I could potentially agree with you. But then we watch him. He has his crazy run, you know, 2014 where it's like, holy shit. Like this is the Rory everyone was expecting and now it's finally, we're finally seeing it. We've had those times now where he hasn't won a major in six or seven years.

He won the players a couple of years ago. But now he's got a family. He's got a wife. He's got a young child. they were all there, you know, on location after he won. It was Mother's Day. Like, I just think we've got this whole story with Rory where you can follow it from the beginning to now where we are.

And I just, there's just not another guy like that in the sport. Yeah, I think, too, you can call him hideous back then because of the way he looks now. Like he's kind of hot now, like in a, in an Irish, like, Northern Irish, kind of, like, you know, really good golfer kind of UK kind of way, where he's jacked. He's got tons of confidence. Like, there's been events where he shows up with, like, a nice, like, black button down and jeans and looks like pretty fucking sporty.

You know, he's kind of got the Euro dress sometimes where he's gone through phases where he looks like a European, like, soccer stud almost out there, the way he shows up to some of these gala's and shit. That, like, now when you compare that to what Roy looked like in 2010 or 11, you can look and be like, oh, yeah, he was, like, hideous back to it compared to what his potential was. But at the time, even his chubbiness and whatnot, like, he was kind of cute in his, like, chubby Northern Irish way. We didn't consider him. But now you can look back and be like, oh, okay, now that he can look like this. I mean, there was a point where he was pouring during the ice bucket challenge. Like, when he got kind of like turned and transformed, he was pouring a bucket of water on Megan Markle.

Like, yep. I mean, think about that on her. People don't forget, but people kind of forget 2014 and just like how much. Rory was basically running the world. Like he was just so good. He was winning majors left and right. And yeah, he was hanging out with Megan Markle. And he was just the toast of every town that he went to.

I miss those days. That's really when I, you know, started drinking the Rory Kool-Aid really heavily. And I really thought we were setting ourselves up for a dominant second half of the 2010s. Like just take everything from 2014 and just keep winning majors and maybe become like, I don't want to talk too crazy, he become a double-digit major guy, and he's just fucking Rory.

And then Jordan Speed showed up, and a lot of other guys showed up, and he stopped playing as well. But, like, that 2014 run, those are some of the, yeah, Riggs has shown us a picture of after he dumped the ice bucket on Megan Markle. I mean, he just went to Megan Markle's apartment and dumped a bucket of ice water all over her and her little, like, but, I mean, you know, that's just a different,

that guy, that golfer is on a different level. I mean, that's amazing. From 2011, 2014, he just had golfed by the balls, like wins the Open, which is just preposterous. And then he goes, what, he went 20, and then he wins the PGA in 2012. And then the PGA in 2014 and the, what else did he win in 2014? Did he won the Open and the PGA back to back. The Open in 2014. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

U.S. Open 2011. But it's just, it's just, it's just insane to go on that three-year stretch. in a world that was like right after the tiger dominance that we had just seen. And then a guy like Rory Macra comes around, this Irish guy that's bopping around the golf course, like you're saying, and goes on a three-year stretch that's like, oh, my God, this guy's going to absolutely eviscerate every single person that steps on golf. We're going to get another Tiger Woods type domination, aren't we? Like, this is what's about to happen.

This guy shows up to majors, and he wins. And it just sucks. Like, I've always wanted that next Tiger Woods kind of guy because I didn't grow up in the peak tiger. era. That's why I always have like that little like chip on the shoulder when it comes to these guys because they're never able to like fulfill it. It's been years with this guy from winning majors and it's just like I want more from Rory. I just want more from Jordan Spee. Like I want fucking numbers. And unfortunately we're just never going to get it. I have to accept that we're never going to get another guy that dominates the sport. It's just left us. It's just he's just in

a hospital bed right now and he's got a fucking broken leg. That's the guy that's just we're never we're going to see again. Right. Not only we're probably never going to see a guy like Tiger Gunn. We certainly, the chances of seeing one right after that, like is just very unlikely. So we all obviously want to put all these expectations on these young guys like Rory

and Spieth and just we want them to be the next guy because it's so much fun when that guy exists. But Rory, at least, you know, in the early two, or the mid-2010s, he was a pretty good compliment. It was a pretty good run. But it's just, it's hard to expect

somebody to pick up that Tiger Woods mantle and just take off. Dude, in 2014, if I told you that it'd be 2021, and Rory won't win another major in the next seven years, you'd be like, are you fucking kidding me? What is, like, what happened? Everyone would think you're fucking crazy. Like, what is happening? Did he get hurt?

Like, is he, like, not playing golf anymore? What do you mean there's going to be four majors a year for the next seven years? And he's not going to win one of them? Like, the guy just won, this guy just won four in the last three years. Like, what are you talking about? So, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I think these guys do get like a, I don't know.

I don't want to say like a free pass, but like they're like they're just, we're just always expecting them to be like the 2011 to 2014 Rory Mackery. I mean, well, he just hasn't been for seven years. And like, I don't know. It's an incredibly hard thing to sustain. Everybody knows how hard golf. I know. I know. I know.

I know. I know. I know. That's true. It is. It is. But it is, but that fact right there, like at the end of 2014, have you told someone that? We're going to be sitting here midway through 2021, and Roy McQuarrie will not have won a major championship since that PGA, when he had life by the balls, pouring water all over Megan Markle, win in majors, whenever he wanted to, win in three legs of the career grand slam.

The only one that he's missing is the Masters, where he should have won it multiple times. Like, you just would not believe that. And the same way that, you know, when Tiger, you know, putted out and won the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, right down the street from here, Like if you were told him, yeah, he's not going to win another major for 11 years, they would have laughed in your face? Like, what did he die? Like, that's not possible. So, yeah, I mean, it's amazing that that can happen.

But on the other hand, like you look at it and you think we see drop-offs all the time. Like, look at Francesco Moenari, man. He won the British Open at Carnusty. He stared down Tiger and defeated him playing in the second or third-to-last group together and then played so well that he, you know, Ryder Cup, he was part of that squad, that they were just him and Tommy Fleetwood were all over there, like 5 and O, dusting everyone. Then he's leading the Masters tournament. Looks unflappable.

He's getting up and down, no problem. Hits a couple balls in the water in the back night of Augusta. I haven't seen him on TV since. Like, literally that was fucking two and a half years ago. I haven't seen, I haven't seen Molyne R. I agree. You can just fall off. Like the game, it doesn't make any sense, but yet it also is the same reason that we can go out

And like, dude, Frankie shot 76. He couldn't miss. He's pouring putts in. And then the next day, it's like, dude, I don't know how he actually broke 95. Like, he just couldn't hit the ball in play. We all do that. So who knows? It's an infuriating game.

It's a fine line maybe is the reason. But if we knew the answer, we probably wouldn't be fucking slapping it around, embarrassing ourselves on the Internet on golf courses all over the play. All of these examples just, it always feeds back into how impressive Tigers runs were. Like that, that's the takeaway from all of them. We wouldn't even, like imagine a world, and I don't want to do this really, but imagine a world where Tiger Woods, he never existed and that never happened. We would never have the expectations for the Rory's and the Spee's.

We would just think like, holy shit, that 2011 to 2014 run that Rory went on, that is incredibly impressive and hard to sustain. The only difference is that Tiger Woods did exist and we know that those runs can't happen. It's just the most impossible thing that you can possibly expect someone to do. Right. I like ruined my brain that that happened, right? Because you want to experience it over and over again. But then like it's just hard to say like, oh, yeah, that one thing that happened from the late night, the 2000 to 2008.

You know, that's the last time it's ever going to happen and we're happy that it happened. But like I want to experience stuff like that all the time. I want to be able to watch documentaries on like unbelievable sports stories in 10 and 15 years all the time. Like I want to have heroes that like kids look. up to in sports. You know what I mean? I want that to keep happening. I don't want it to just be the one time. Like, I want guys to go after records and stuff. So we have these young kids that make a crazy, crazy, like, first step into their careers on the PGA tour with major wins, like, just right off the fucking bat. And you're like, here we go. It's about to happen. And then they all go on these

really long droughts. And it's just like, all right, he's just going to finish with like five majors, and that's just going to be his career. It's just kind of like, you're right there. I'm here to tell you, and I don't want to be the one to break this news to you, it's not happening again. I know, I know it's not happening again. That's how impressive it is. It's just a boy can dream, right? I want the sexiness of sports to continue. Like, I want that run to happen.

I always say this about hockey. Like, I want a guy like Alexander Ovechkin, who I grew up watching, to be able to, like, take a crack at, like, most goals of all time. Like, that's something that, like, every sports fan, if you have a great in your time, you should be able to experience, like, that thrill. of like turning on the TV and being like, OV needs four goals in the last game of the season to have the most of all time. How fucking awesome will that be? Like, we got to live there in that moment.

Every era has those types of players. It's just certain guys just dust everyone so far in a way that you'll never experience it. It just ruins stats. It ruins stats and leadership boards. It just ruins it. Well, and Tiger made golf so cool and looks so awesome that he created a generation

athletes who wanted to play the sport that he was playing that probably hinders someone's singular ability to then repeat what he did. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah. No, it is, it's just, it's cool to just talk it out like this and really understand how insane it is what he's done.

I mean, we say it on every single show, but like the fact that these guys are the best in the world and a guy like Rory McRoy just can't even come close. seven-year drought of majors, like had life by the balls, making all the money you can possibly make and go. And still just not even fucking close. It's crazy. It's amazing, and maybe he'll go on another tear, and then he'll fall off.

Who knows, but he just won, and that's a good sign. It's also heating up out there, folks. And if you're looking for a quick way to raise the bar on your summer style, you're going to want to check out Peter Mouar's excellent seaside collection. We just spoke about Rory and how, you know, you can change your style and all of a sudden look really good out there. They sent me, okay? I wasn't even aware of this seaside collection situation that's going on with Peter Moore.

They sent me this seaside collection that I opened up last week. It is hands down Peter Moor's most laid-back apparel. They're using special washes and techniques to make sure these are these softest clothes in your closet, whether it's their natural touch or aquacotton polos, their lightweight shorts. I got like these salmon-colored lightweight shorts that they sent me that are maybe... It's one of those things where it's like, I'm... I'm putting my fingers through them and kind of like rubbing on each side of the shorts. And you're wondering, like, is there actually even material there?

Like how I can see it, but it's so soft and so light that you wonder how can they, how does the science and the physics work where this material actually exists in between my fingers and can now go on my legs as shorts and be considered legitimate clothing in a sense. society where people aren't just walking around naked because that's like the only way that you actually think you'd be less comfortable walking around naked because these things these these threads that they've got on the seaside stuff is so incredibly comfortable so if you check out their whole seaside collection at petermalar.com slash four you're going to receive free shipping and complimentary gift that's petermore.com slash four check out their seaside stuff but boys they got like these

swim trunks too they got like these patterns on some of their shorts that are unlike anything i've ever seen from Peter Marlard. I've got something that I've been thinking about with this upcoming golf season in terms of apparel in Peter Millar. I'm thinking I might get into the shorts game on a golf course. I think I might let the legs show. What is happening? I think I might become a shorts sometimes on the golf course.

Jake and I were down in Georgia, and we were talking a little bit about it. And I sat out by the pool one of the days and got a little color on my legs. And Jake was like, you should do that more. You should let the legs show a little more off. You've got because the concern with legs, and I'm looking at you, Frankie, is that they're just skinny little sticks and you don't want the world to see those. I don't have them. Like, I have big, potentially nice legs, and I kind of want to show them off this golf season.

So I might be hitting up Peter Malar being like, well, you just send me a couple pairs of shorts just so I can try these puppies out. You got powerful eggs. Yeah. You got fucking hot dog like little, you got you got fucking weenies. They're just like fucking thick pieces of meat that just, they don't change.

Brots, you got brots, I think I would say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there's no like, they're just thick and they're just,

they're like tube like. You know what I mean? Look at those things. So. Yeah, you got some calves on there too. I don't know what you're, I don't know what you're,

I don't. I don't wear you, I've always said you've got to like pay to see this body. Like I'm going to, I'm going to cover up when I'm in public as much as I possibly can. I want to show as a little bit of skin as I possibly can because I'm gross and like clothes help us. As a society, we've decided to wear clothes and that is a good thing for people like me because we can look somewhat normal walking amongst other human beings. If I was walking around naked, it would be people would like shriek in heart. Riggs has nice legs.

I wear shorts. Are you able to say that to like a co-host? Why not? That's nice. Gas up the boys. Gas up the boys. Yeah, you got nice legs. Thank you.

I can say, yeah, thank you. I appreciate that. But, Frankie, you're right in that we are able to, thanks to society, the way they figured out, we're able to basically like curtail what we think makes us look our best with clothes and basically hide what we know makes us look like shit. But Trent, I think you should get into the shorts game a little bit. I want to see those fucking tubes out there. Do not be surprised if I stroll up to a first tee sometime this summer with a nice pair of Peter Millar shorts on.

Do not be surprised. You will never see me. You will never see me in those shorts. But I've seen you in shorts like one time. Where did you show up one time in shorts? I've been in short. I think just before I start like people started right like knowing who I was, I probably wore shorts because I just didn't care. And then like the internet made me want to like jump off a building.

so like I just don't wear shorts anymore. So that's, yeah, I don't, I probably haven't worn shorts in four years. I don't know. Five years. Petermore.com slash four. Check out their seaside line. It's really good. It's new.

It's fresh. It's different. And you're going to love it. We've got Ricky Fowler who watched the first round of the Masters tournament at Tiger Woods's house. He said Thursday we were watching and just how firm and fast in each kind of fine line about Augusta and how it was playing. We were definitely both very disappointed that we couldn't be out there to experience because it's very few times where you get to see Augusta that firm and fast.

He said J.T.'s been over there a handful of times before I got to go over and see him. Rory had stopped by. That was one thing J.T. had told me was essentially he's a lot better than I expected. That was pretty good to hear. He said his golf clubs are right there in the living room and he can stare at them all he wants. So when Ricky dropped those quotes, that got. me hard. That got me excited to hear about Tiger Woods because we

haven't seen anything other than the picture he posted basically with his dog. But that line, his golf clubs are right there in the living room and he can stare at them all he wants. That got me fired up. Do you guys remember when we were sitting at the Philly gambling house on Thursday where we watched the Masters? I made a joke. Or I asked the question and I said, what do you guys think Ricky Fowler's doing right now? And the whole room we all laughed. He's not playing in the Masters.

He didn't make, he's not allowed to play. We all just thought he was sitting at home and come to find out. Do that again, Trent. Come to find out that he is, no, he's not playing in the Masters, which is clearly where he wants to be, but he's doing the next best thing and sitting in Tiger Woods' living room watching the Master. So while we were all yucking it up laughing in that disgusting Philly gambling house, trying to make fun of Ricky Fallow.

Ricky Fallow was just like, no, I'm sitting with the greatest golfer of all time. watching the Masters. So egg on my face. Not a bad spot to watch the Masters. I'll tell you that. Aside from being at the golf course, the best second option. Oh, buddy. This is also now...

Honestly, if you're Ricky Fowler, like, in the way he was playing, I think it's better. Like, I would rather be a Tiger Woods. He doesn't have a chance to fucking win. He's hitting it all over the map. He's going through a few swing changes with your guy right there, Trent, which you know when it's what it's like going through swing changes. It's like the physical therapy, surgery, all that stuff. Tough, clearly.

The, I mean, you know, yeah, we'd all like to play. But Ricky has played the Masters many times. He will play the Masters many times. He's almost won at the Masters many times. So I think this is better. I think it's going to be like, you know, and he does win the Masters someday, which I think Ricky will. Then down the road, you know, we might get him referencing,

like, you know, I really learned a lot or it actually changed my perspective when I was watching the first round of the Masters tournament at Tiger Woods's fucking house. Like, I think that's overall better for him than showing up and knowing you have no chance. He was like, You know, he was like one of these ceremonial fucking 80-year-old guys of the Masters, you know, that won it back in the day.

He was like Larry Mize out there, basically, is what it would have been like if he showed up. Like, okay, Ricky's here. It's cute. We get your orange hats out, but he's not going to win the tournament this year. I also love that going to see Tiger while he's laid up right now has become like a religious trek for the best golfers in the world. First, we had J.T. do it. And then Rory did it. and now Ricky's doing it.

It's like if you don't make the trip to go see Tiger Woods while he's laid up and, you know, he's like the, he's Yoda. We've called him Yoda before. But if you don't go see Yoda, then you ain't shit. Like you have to, if you get the invite or if you're close enough with him to go and see Tiger where he is now. Like that just seems like if you're a top golf from the world, you have to do that. Where do they go see Yoda? Is it like Dagobah or something like that?

Is that the planet? He is on Dagobah. I think when Luke goes and finds him, right? He's on like... I mean, Robbie Fox should literally come here and stroke my pee after I just fucking did that. You're pit. I mean, my pip.

I mean, come on, Robbie Fox. Dagobah. I can't even remember what I ate yesterday. And the fact that I may be seen that movie twice. Like, I don't know how that fucking hit me there. I would like to say that I think... Like imagine how, like you're saying, Regs, how much knowledge you can gain from watching a full round with Tiger during like a competitive Thursday at the Masters or whatever day it was, right? Like imagine how much he's actually like taking in that he's going to be able to use when he plays.

When we just talk to a guy like Scott Fawcett, we are all like taking in the information that he gave us and like trying to apply it to our games. Like, oh yeah, like when you're out there, stop going. going for pins on part. Like, Ricky legitimately is hearing from the guy that's done it the most and the, like, he is the best to ever do it. You just got to think that he's there on his fucking phone just in the notes app. Like, all right, like on four, what's the best drive? Like, just little things that Tiger says, oh, like, you can't hit it on the right side

on that. Like, you just, I can't believe, I can't imagine how, how much data he was trying to consume into, like, his phone and his brain while being sitting next to him. And, you know, you know, Tiger can't help it either. Like Tiger lives to talk about this stuff. This is what he exists for. He's a golf nerd. He's a golf junkie.

And like in any subject, when you just know you know a lot about it, you can't wait to tell people about it. Like you could go sit with any member at any country club in the world and they will sit there watch somebody play on like a Saturday afternoon if you could watch it on TV. And that person wouldn't be able to help but tell you the whole time like, oh, you can't be in the left rough on five. Like there's no chance.

So getting that from Tiger fucking Woods all day, that's going to be more. more valuable to Ricky than him playing in the tournament. The more times we meet people, like, the greats of sports and, like, just, like, good athletes, I always feel like they don't want to talk about their sport. It's almost like bringing your work home with you. But every single time I've been able to do it, they love talking about it. Like, there's just that passion, like, all the hockey guys, like, every time I'm like,

oh, should I, like, should I, like, text them about the game or something? Because I really want to know, like, what happened. It's like, maybe they just don't want to talk about it. Like, they're kind of bored of it. But then I'm like, they're fucking making millions of dollars playing this sport. And like, they fucking live for this shit. Like, yeah, they want to talk about it. It's not like boring.

Like, it, Cal Clutterbuck on the Islanders was like breaking down the other day. Like I was talking about something. And I'm like breaking down like how. Oh, I was talking about like how Tiger knows where his misses are. He's like, dude, like all of us athletes are we're able to like know exactly what's happening. It's extensions of our arms, our brains. Like we just like, they. He just wanted to explain, like, what goes on in his brain when he's coming down on the ice and he sees an open spot.

And, like, I thought that was so cool because if someone asked me about Barstle at home, I'm sometimes like, ah, like, I don't fucking know. It's just like, I work there. And, like, that's just like, I don't really want to talk about it. I just, I did that for the last eight hours. And they're just so into it. It really just makes me, like, it just makes me happy that these guys really care. A guy like Tiger Woods still wants to talk about golf. You'd think he's just like, can I fucking do something else?

Can I talk about something else, please? Yeah, I agree. And Rickie Fowler watching the Masters together, probably a pretty good thing to have if you are Ricky Fowler. So I thought that was cool. I would love to have been there on that couch. Walker Cup, Seminal. I don't think we really had a chance to talk about that. But the United States has just been dominating the Walker Cup against Great Britain and Ireland.

Our guy, Stu Huggastod, ended up getting the winning point. We had him on the show, I think a year or so ago now we've had soon, but he finished low amateur. I think he's finished low amort at the Masters, and maybe he's also finished low Amateur at the U.S. opener. I know he's played in several U.S. opens. but the Walker Cup's really a really really really good event it's incredibly fun to watch the passion the match play they do singles both days which is cool and very rare they do like alternate shot they've got the uh they played it at seminal which is a top you know whatever it is 10 course

in the country on most rankings so anytime you get to see a place like seminal and um and you get to see kind of young young kids out there for the most part amateurs out there battling for their country it's very cool so um so yeah i enjoyed the walker cup i didn't get to see the last basically the last session, the singles, because I was on a plane to San Francisco, but I like the Walker Cup, varying on the Walker Cup. So Seminole is so elite and so, like,

I don't want to use the word stuck up, but I saw a tweet over on Twitter.com that said that... Where was it? Like, on Twitter.com. Okay. Jack Dorsey, is that his name? You tell us.

Jack Dorsey? Trent? Yeah. That's him? Are we talking about the guy who invented Twitter? Yeah. That's Jack Dorsey. Okay.

I saw on his website yesterday or two days ago that at the Walker Cup, they're like the only people to be able to play after like 6 p.m. at Seminole. Like no matter who you are, no matter how much money you have, you can literally be like the president of the United States and they'll kick you off the golf course at 6 p.m. Like the doors closed and that's it. The gates are locked. But the Walker Cup, like they're the only people that are able to enjoy that like sunset coming down at Seminole. It's kind of crazy. Yeah, I remember hearing about that when they did the TV event there a year ago, that they were like, if this thing starts late because of weather,

they're not going to allow them to finish because you're not allowed to be at Seminole after like 6 o'clock. That is a outrageous number, too. Like 6 p.m. is like maybe when the golf course looks the best. From 6 to 7.30, you start to get that sunset, that golden hour, all the little undulations on the fair. and the green start to pop a little bit more. The fact that you can only experience that golf course and like the dead of the day, like the hot sun, to me is insane. Right.

Like, Riggs, you teed off, you said Torrey Pinesad yesterday at 310. Imagine if they kicked you off that golf course at 6 o'clock. It's like, I mean, they would have missed, we would have missed the best part of the fucking day. I mean, this, this stuff that you're just seeing out there, like, this is what you're seeing. Yeah. You know, at 6 p.m. on a golf course, it's like, it's the goal. now or it's the sunset and you got

it's quiet the wind dies down you know the animals are starting to kind of chill for a little bit and they're quiet as well and maybe you hear a few birds chirping the lawnmowers are done for the day it's like it's just so peaceful out there and do you have to be done by 530 because you have to go back from wherever hole you're on

you got to get to the clubhouse you got to get your shit and you got to go like is it really like 510 doors closed at 6 they say it's I just don't know what they're doing over there I mean I guess they're doing something right it's fucking seminal but yeah I don't know it's a pretty unique and preposterous little rule they have at seminal golf club but yeah it's uh the Walker Cup's cool it's just got a really great name when we were at um

at national golf links they had the Walker Cup I think it was like 44th Walker Cup and it was it was inside the the shack there and just like seeing that just reminds me of like the greatest game ever played type stuff you know what I mean it's just a bunch of guys that like are really they, you know, they're just, they're, it's like watching college hockey. You just know it means more to these guys. You know what I mean? Like they're not getting, the money's not involved. It's just, you know that their lives are on the line, that they actually care about winning for their, like, that's all they care about.

And that, that part of it, I really do love and appreciate. Yeah. I, I couldn't agree more. I think the Walker Cup's really cool. And I, uh, and I like that they get to go to kind of some of the more old school venues, because they don't care about, you know, lighting it up. It's match play. They don't care about the score that the course has been kind of defeated by technology. They go to Cyprus. They go to National. They go to Seminole.

And that's fucking awesome, just like whoop. Woop is awesome. And I saw, so Rory's a big whoop guy. And I saw a good amount of, you know, posts where they were showing his heart rate in real time at some of his biggest shots, especially his swing on 18, where he hooked one laughed off the hill, barely kind of into the right near the hazard. And the hazard ended up taking a drop. But while that ball was in the air, they showed his heart rate. It reminded me a lot of my friend Trent Ryan, who's heart rate at some moments on T-boxes

has been known to go to, you know, near heart about to explode out of your chest levels. First T, pedal beach, 138. Had a couple people behind us. And that's just me standing there. I'm not running laps around the golf course. I'm not doing anything crazy. I just get so nervous that, like, my heart just starts going. I think, I think Rory, before he teed off on 19, he was about out of 120.

And then when that ball landed, he was at 142. Like, that's no bullshit. And we really did kind of predict this. I think if you go back in the podcast archives two or three years ago, we talked about how awesome it would be to have heartbeat technology hooked up to these guys. And we're thinking, I remember one of us said, like, There's no way the guys would ever agree to it. Like, they don't want people to see what their heart rates are at at, like, the most stressful moments.

But if you just bake that into a fitness app that tells them good stuff about, you know, how they're sleeping, how they're eating, what's type of strain they're going out through the day. And then you just sneak in the part where you can track their heart rate during the, like, stressful moments of a golf tournament. Boom. Woop is right there. That really is a very cool feature. And you don't even notice it. Like, this thing isn't even a. It gets just there.

You don't notice that you have the whoop band on, and now it just can measure your heart rate in real time. It's very scary for us because, like, we're eventually going to get where we just document it all in real time, and you're going to know exactly how nervous we were, which is extremely nervous.

the last thing before the PGA Championship. Next time I see you, fellas, we will be at Kiowa Island, which I've never been to before, never seen it, and we'll be there for three or four days covering the PGA Championship. I believe we've got a nice meetup coming, an Owens mixer meetup coming on Thursday afternoon in Charleston around 4 p.m. So people should keep their eyes and ears peeled if you're in the Charleston area, if you're going to the tournament. We are going to watch the final few hours of coverage,

hang out, have a few cocktails, and mingle with our crowd around 4 p.m. on Thursday next week of a major championship week. But yeah, next time we talk, we'll be talking to the people from a major championship venue. That's going to be awesome. Rory McElroy winner, 2012, Kiowa. Just coming off a win. It's like we just had a lot of.

a lot of Rory talk. There's got to be, you know, to hop on the Rory train for a PGA. Let's start it now. Let's start another Rory run right now. I guess last week to now. I want people who weren't all that invested in 2014. Maybe you weren't into golf.

Maybe you weren't into Rory or whatever. I want them to see that guy again. And I think it's definitely possible. And I hope it started with his win last week. That would be phenomenal. It's like 32 years old. Him and I are the same age. Fuck.

That's amazing. He's accomplished so much more than you're trying. It's actually fucking crazy. Let's wrap this pot up. I don't need those vibes going into my... You've had the same life, right? Like same years. Well, I...

See, I'm piling it on with you, but like I've done this with Johnny Gudro. Johnny Hockey. We were both born on the same exact day. I think I've said this on the podcast. August 13th, 1993. Just two lives. Just living on this. I think you're 93?

Yeah. Is that when you were born? Fuck, man. You're young. What are you in the 80s? Yeah. Eighty-nine. You always do find those players.

I may have talked about this on a podcast before, but you find the professional athletes who are similar ages you. Like, I'm seven days older than Blake Griffin. He's March 16, 1989, and I'm March 9, 1989. So I've always watched his trajectory and been like, Boy, I'm just not doing shit. Dude, think about mine. Like, Crosby wears 87. Sidney Crosby wears number 87.

I'm also an 87 birth year. He's, like, seven months younger than I am, and he's Sidney Crosby, and I'm just me. That would be weird for Sidney Crosby to be younger than me, because that's just a name out there that just can't be younger than you. He's, like, an all-time great. Well, what did Justin Crosby? Fuck Justin Thomas, by the way. He puts up, what are, what's his ties? I typed it in actually while we were doing this podcast.

He puts up this like, this penguins jersey. Islanders are playing the penguins in the first round, by the way. And I mean, where's Justin Thomas like coming at me with some penguins fucking merchandise? I literally wrote to him and he'll probably never respond. But I wrote yuck. Oh, he just responded, dislike. I said, let's go on. I said, yuck, let's go Islanders.

He wrote dislike. Like, that's actually like, he kind of dominated me there. Like, writing dislike instead of like having a button is pretty solid. Totally. Yeah, I got to respect that. I think he just turned 28 and you're 27. So you're similar. Like Justin Thomas, one of the most accomplished young golfers in the game by far.

And you're just Frankie Barrett. Yeah. And I'm chirping him about his penguins allegiance out of nowhere. I mean, this guy's going to start rooting for the Pittsburgh penguins. He's got another thing coming to him. He's entering my world now. Now this is the world that for 27 years, that I've been mustering up.

Don't come waltzing into the hockey fandom world, Justin Thomas. Keep it to the golf course. Right. I watched Joey La Cava walk into that world yesterday. Can't imagine that went well. I was being a little mean. I was like, Joey, Joey, what's going on over there?

And he's like, don't talk to me like that. He's like, I'm Joey La Cava. Yeah, but he was too nice to even say that. He was just, fuck, man. You just take Frankie Borelli, places and he's a pretty normal person, you know, relatively speaking. But then when somebody brings up hockey and specifically Rangers hockey, it's like, I feel like I got to pull him out of a bar fight. It's insane. They just fired their coach Quinn today. It's just the Rangers have

kind of just dismantled. And it's kind of fun to see. It's a good time. It's a good time for New York hockey, specifically the Islanders. Playoffs start on Sunday. I'm geared up. It's a one-versa-four, Islanders are in fourth in division, but in this kind of year, it doesn't feel like a one-verse four. They've played each other eight times already, so it's like, I feel like all four teams, you could have played either of them, and whatever. It's just, it is what it is. Like, there's no better matchup, there's no worse matchup when you get down to the playoffs. I've always wanted home ice advantage, but when you're on the road, win one game out of those first two. You just got to split, and all of a sudden, home ice advantage switches to you.

Kind of crazy. I like that no one asked you a question. No. Like, no one asked you how you feel about headed into the playoffs, and you just started ripping. I didn't want to see the Bruins. I love that the Bruins and the Capitals are facing each other. Yeah, that's actually going to be a great.

A bunch of the series are going to be really good. The Blues are going to have the Vegas Knights in the first round. I don't think either team really wants to have to play each other. I don't like. The Blues just aren't obviously as sharp, I think, as they were the last couple of years. But I have to say, on the Barstable Sports book, my buddies and I pooled a little bit of money together while we were in Philadelphia, and they were 60 to 1 at the time, and we put $750 in the Blues to win $45,000.

That will be a nice little payout. So I really want the Blues. Like I always want the Blues to put it, but I really would like to see. You got to win what? 16 games? You got to win 16 games? Just 16 games. And you can lose essentially, like they can lose what, like 11 games in that stretch?

That's not. Go 16 and 11? It's like a solid month of, like a month and a half of hockey in the regular season. Like, oh, like, blues went 16-11. Like, they're in second place. But instead, you win the Stanley Cup. Totally fine. They can fucking lose.

16-11's okay. It's like you lit up the NHL. That's fine. Just go 16-11. All right, check out Wolf Creek tonight. We got Barstool Classic today as well as people are watching this at Monarch Beach. So follow along with all that. Truly Hart Seltzer and our very good friends sponsoring,

putting that on and having a good time here on the coast of California. Enjoy the weekend. We'll be back from Kiowa on Tuesday. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.
