Episode Date: July 12, 2018

The whole gang is back together with lots of news to talk about. Should Phil and Tiger have to put up their own 10 million dollars? Did Phil violate a new rule on purpose to save face? Is an LPGA player whiffing on the tee box good for golf? We also take a handful of From The Galleries including a listener's wild dream about dining tables on tee boxes in Scotland.

Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello, everybody. It's Riggs. We got a great show. This is our second show of the week. As I mentioned, we are doing two shows per week from now on. My voice is back, so congrats to me. It feels good.

We have got the whole squad back. It's myself, Frankie Bro, the Pizza Maker, and Slim Daddy Trent. We got a lot of headlines to talk about. look we got Phil and Tiger the $10 million match. Are we happy with it? What do we change about it? What do we need to see from it? We got Phil, another rules violation.

Do you do it on purpose? We get into that. LPGA player, just whiffs, just straight up whiffs. Transfusions, we go through the transfusion. A lot of confusion about the transfusion out there. How do you make it, Riggsie? We go through all of that exactly how you need to make it. Frankie Borelli.

Well, he talked about how he got into some trouble, drank it some transfusions this past weekend. a bunch of from the galleries. We had a handful of laugh out loud from the galleries. So throwing it back to our roots a little bit. Before we get into that, you know, obviously we are buzzing from Cabot Links, from Cabot Cliffs, a lot of questions. You know, we did about an hour and 15 or 20 minute podcasts earlier this week on the entire

trip. Got a million questions from people. So I'm just going to go through a couple of the most frequently asked questions. number one is cost. Everybody asks, what does it cost for, you know, what did it cost you guys for this and that? Look, the rates change seasonally. Okay, so if you go in May, it's going to be a different cost than if you go in mid-July. If you're from New York, it's going to be a way different experience and even cost and flight and all that.

But if you go from California, if you stay in a four-person villa, I'm sorry, a four-bedroom villa with just four people, it's going to be way more expensive than if you stay in hotel rooms of four people or if you get eight people into a villa and all of that. So it's going to change for everybody. What I will say is this. The golf course, Cabot Cliffs, which again, I believe is the single best course I've ever played. If you do the conversion, which, by the way, we were off on the conversion, it's like the Canadian conversion is like 0.76 of a U.S. dollar. And we said like 0.6, so we weren't even really close.

A bunch of people tweeted me about that. The conversion is a round of golf, even in peak season at Cabot Cliffs, cost $177.97 bucks and 99 cents right now. U.S.D. A round of golf at Pebble Beach is $600. Okay. And I would say Cabot Cliffs is a better golf course. I think Pebble Beach is phenomenal.

I've played four rounds there. It's awesome. I've talked about it. It has maybe the best three-hole stretch on planet Earth. Pebble's phenomenal. You can play three and a half rounds almost at Cabot Cliffs for what it costs to play one round at Pebble Beach. So go to the website. go check it all out for yourself, build your own trip, email me, and I'll set you up with the right people so you can figure it all out.

But get up there because the place is fucking awesome. There's a reason that we went so crazy about it. You saw it all over social media. You saw my new video I just posted Rigsie against Kavikliff's number 16. We're going to be doing those from every course we play. You can see how cool it looks, how awesome it looks. The weather was perfect. It's just a no-brainer.

You're dumb if you don't go up there. And I'm not saying that. I don't get paid by the resort. I make no money from that. I just genuinely want people that love golf as much as we love golf. and buddies, trips, and having a good time to go to the right places and spend the right amount of, you know, spend their hard-earned money going to the right places. I've been to 10 or 15 golf resorts in the States, or really all over, but I would say I've been to 10 or 15 in, I guess, North America, Canadian, U.S. And I've really boiled it down to, I think there's three top ones that I've been to.

I've been to everyone. But, you know, stream song, band and cabot. Stream song is awesome. I talked about stream song. We did a whole podcast on that as well with Lurch and my other buddy E. Stream song is fantastic. It's got three golf courses, Gil Hans,

which is obviously a friend of the program that we had on, a core Crenshaw and a Tom Doak. Amazing golf courses. The property is insane. It's like it's for another planet because you're in the middle of Florida, but they've got all this sand that is built up from the mining. So it's spectacular. And there's a time for it.

I think if you're going to go in the middle of winter or you live maybe southeast or even eastern seaboard, you can make a really good argument that stream song is the best place for you to go. However, I believe Bandon and Cabot are a significant notch above. I think Stream Song is phenomenal, and I would say Bandon and Cabot are 10 times better. I just, I honestly believe that. I feel that. You know, I've been talking up Cabot a ton the last couple days because we just came back. from there and because I think the cliffs course is the best course that I've ever played,

but also Bandon is spectacular. Bandon's got five golf courses if you include the 13-hole par three course to preserve. Each is different in its own way. They're on cliffs as well. It's just an unbelievable property. So Bandon is spectacular. A lot of people are asking me Bandon or Cabot. I think a lot of it depends on where you live and exactly what you're looking for.

I think that at Bandon, we were pretty much in bed every night immediately after dinner. 8.39 o'clock, we are up early. It was a pure buddies golf, hardcore to the max. We had one day where we played like 40-something hole, 49 holes in one day. Cabin, don't get me wrong, the golf is also fantastic, but there's an incredible pub with the locals, with the Canadian, the Inverness Canadian. people, how nice they are, how friendly they are, a pool table with, again, it wasn't just the boys playing golf. It was a good mix. We threw a huge rager at our villa that overlooked the golf of St. Lawrence.

So it was a different experience, and on top of that, the golf was on the cliffs. I also want to say about Cabot, don't sleep on the Lynx course. Don't sleep on the links course, folks. The cliffs course is amazing. The Lynx course, like I said, the first time we played it, we looked at each other and said, how could the other course be better than this? It's that good. It's got a bunch of holes on the water. You can pretty much see the water from everywhere. It's got that, whatever hole that was, the fifth or sixth hole that wraps around the harbor is just one of the coolest golf holes I've ever played. So, again, I want people to go and have the cool types of experiences that we've had. So that's why I'm here trying to provide all the information. The other main

question that I get is, hey, Riggsie, is this course, is this place? Is Cabot too difficult? Let's say I've got my dad's an 18 handicap or a 22 handicap. Is it too difficult? The exact opposite. The design philosophy of Corrin-Krenshaw is to make courses playable. It goes back to the old Scottish links where they are wide open off the T. It's very difficult to lose golf balls and they tighten it up and it gets harder the closer that you get to the Greens, which is great because around the Greens you can do bump and runs. You can put a lot from off the Greens.

Hegsy here is an 18 handicap. He birdied the 17th hole at Cabot Cliss, one of the most spectacular par fours on planet Earth. He just, he birded it. And he found the course incredibly playable. Isn't that right, Hegg? That's exactly right. Yeah, it's very playable. Thank you, Hags.

Really, very confident there. It's just, it's just built to be playable. It is way better than if you go to a lot of these Florida-type resorts where there's water everywhere, water-lined fairways and greens. This is completely different and completely. better than that because those other courses if you're spraying it a little bit, you have to take a drop, you drop left and right. I've done it before. I did it a couple months ago

when I went to North Carolina. Where's Charleston? North Carolina, South Carolina. I think it might be South Carolina. When I went to South Carolina, same deal. I was off one day. I lost like 12 golf balls. There's just water everywhere. This is so much different than that. Like I said, you can kind of blast it off the tea. It makes it playable for everybody. It makes it very fun for everybody.

And that is not by accident. the design is that way. There's going to be some tough tee shots. Don't give me your own. Not every single hole is just easy. It's challenging. It's incredibly challenging. But in the right way and in the way that golf was meant to be played.

So do not worry about that. On top of all of that, I talked about the nightlife and all that. At Cabot, I mean, there was tubing. We were supposed to go tubing down a river, like a whitewater river one day. Unfortunately, it was so windy that it got called off that day. They're taking people off the river. There's kayaking. There's deep sea fishing.

We almost went deep sea fishing. had to make a decision like do we want to go deep sea fishing or play maybe the greatest golf course on planet earth again we chose to play the course but there's a ton of things to do you can go kayaking should look up some of these pictures on their website of people kayaking by these cliffs there's still water in the cliffs so there's a ton of shit to do up there um those are the best recommendations i can give those are the most frequently asked questions in the way that i will respond to them um now we've got the the OG squad Trent myself frankie we've got a lot of golf to talk about let's do this second show of the week yes we are doing two shows a week there's

just too much stuff there's too much content there's too much we want to do um like the last month and a half every show has been like two hours long um so it's just too much we love it we got a ton to do there's different guys you want to interview there's different aspects of the game we want to cover all kinds of stuff going on all kinds of stuff going on um so two shows a week we got the boys are back we got slim daddy trent we got frankie burrelly the pizza maker hello pup punk punk's coming out when this podcast comes out. You guys will be performing that night. Oh my God. Wow. I can't stop thinking about it. Are you nervous? You have to be. I'm nervous. I'm not nervous about the actual playing. I know that we can play.

I know that we can actually like perform the songs. I'm more nervous about just the show of it. Like, you know, you have to like bob your head and do all that shit. Like there's a difference between you and obviously playing in a little studio or in your basement and then playing at Irving fucking Plaza. For sure. In front of 1,200 people. Irving Plaza. Like Green Day just played there like yesterday. Like they took Green Day's like sign off the Rakey and just put like Pup Punk presented by Parsons. It's a sold-out show. It's, it's unbelievable what we're doing.

But, I mean, we have some talented people. I mean, PFT is something that I've never seen before. The fact that he can just, like, he leaves his guitar at the studio, comes in and just plays, like, Freebird. Like, I've never seen anything like it. He doesn't practice. He just plays. So he's just, he's incredibly talented. Frankie's the drummer.

So you got to bring, you'd be, like, sweating. You're going to be wearing, like, a tank, like, a wife Peter. Like, what are you going to be rock? We may be doing different, you know, I don't know if we're doing outfit changes. probably will be because we're going on off the stage a bunch of times. I'm starting out like School of Rock preppy. Like I'm looking like like Green Day. So I'm going to go like white college shirt, spiky hair, really tight black ripped jeans.

So I'm going to try and look like I'm in. Then you are going to be drenched by the end of it. Drenched. Just fucking shredding the drug. I'll probably end up looking like Travis Bark with my shirt off afterwards. Which is a great look. Those the post show pictures are going to be off the charts. Have you been growing out your hair so you can spike it up?

I haven't cut in the top. I haven't cut the top. I'm going to try and spike it. Yeah. Curls, though. So, I mean, we'll see what happens. That's great. I love that you're like a, like, emo drum rocker and also a golf podcast.

I know. You don't get that all the time. A boy that wears many hats. I keep getting called a pizza boy. It's like a new thing. I mean, I told you guys. I think that would infuriate me. If I's a new, it's a new, it's a new, just like wave.

Isn't the OG of that at a bar? Some guy was like, what's up pizza boy? I was with you. I was with you at Dave Matthews at Radio City. That's right. Radio City Musical. Some guy came up to Smitty and Riggs and was like, what's up, guys? What's up, pizza boy?

Yeah. And I was like, well, fuck. Ruin Frankie's night. I think I'm a pretty chill guy, but if someone called me Pizza Boy, I think I'd punch him in the face. Yeah. That's so condescending and, like, me. Pizza boy. Just to finish this little thing, I had to, I put my email in a pizza review the other day because Dave wants to have Cape Cod kids go bring him pizza on a ferry.

It's a whole fucking thing. So I put my email in the video And boy, did my email blow up But I typed in So you're able to filter your emails I just learned this 1,000 emails later And my email's a fucking disaster But I filtered it so that it goes into a different file

And there's one that I just wrote like pizza And then you can just see Every single title is just pizza boy It just goes up and down the list It's pizza boy, pizza boy, pizza boy, pizza boy, pizza boy, It's nuts It hurts I would delete those All right, let's talk some golf

We've got a lot to get into, a lot to get into. Remind here if you're going to be out this week, this weekend, playing some golf. This is an awesome time to book using Supreme Golf. They have the best app. They have the best website. I've said it 100 times. You are honestly just dumb if you don't use Supreme Golf to book. You go to Supreme Golf.

Or you just go download their app. Literally just go type in Supreme Golf, download their app. They have everybody you've ever heard of, okay? Every tea time. They go where they have tea off? They have golf now. Literally everybody you've ever heard of. Plus, they just have thousands more.

I use Supreme Golf over the break. Frankie's huge on Supreme Golf, huge on Supreme Golf. It's played Mill Pond. You're just so stupid if you don't use it. So go use Supreme Golf. Book yourself some T-Times. Use it, get it.

They're quick. They're easy. They're awesome. They're our friends. They love for play. We got Phil and Tiger Woods are going to play a $10 million heads up winner-take-all match. My hair just stood up on the back of my neck.

So this broke, sort of over the break over like fourth of July break kind of a weird time. Phil came out and confirmed it because he played last week at the Greenbrier. So he did have to do like a little presser. He confirmed it. He said the report was accurate, but I don't know what else to say. I'm sure as soon as we know more, we'll fill you in. But right now I don't have much more to add. He went on to say that they were supposed to do it. They're planning to have it all set up and do it on July 3rd, but whatever logistics, they couldn't get all set in time. But what that tells us is they're pretty fucking serious about this. That's surprising. So this all,

started the players, right? When Phil was like, I don't know if he wants a piece of me. They had like a very funny back and forth, a little bit of banter. Was that the players? Yeah. Because Masters, they played practice around together and then players, they took another step further. Like, oh, yeah, we'd love to. The stay woke community, it almost seems like these guys have been almost working towards this. But for them to say that they almost had it planned out for July 3rd, they are very, very far down in the negotiations of this. Which is excited. I, um, you know, I think that the, um, the details on this very much matter. Like if they put up their own $10 million, that would be like if you're taking,

there's a huge difference, right, between like, oh, the sponsorship and the TV money that they're going to put up for us to make it interesting is $10 million and we just get to win $10 million. And if I don't lose it, like I didn't have $10 million before, so whatever. Whereas like if Tiger Woods is taking $10 million out of Phil Nicholson's pocket, that's like he fucking cucked him. Yeah. The unfortunate thing is I would very much doubt that they're going to play with their own money. Totally. Which is like a butt, right? Like, same deal with, like, poker.

When it's like, you put up, like, you get two poker stars against each other. Or, like, you know, a lot of us went through that poker phase, like, 10 years ago, whatever, the moneymaker effect and all that. Where we, I would, like, watch people online play. Like, it's absolute studs play against each other online. And one guy would lose, like, 300 grand against the other guy and, like, an hour and a half playing, like six tables heads up against each other. And you could just feel like he's on tilt.

He's fucking going all in left and right. He's losing. Oh, he lost $30, $40,000. He's down $100,000. Holy fuck, it's awesome. But you knew that money's coming out of his pocket. and that had a huge effect. This, I just think that's so important.

I don't think we're going to get it. I definitely don't think they're going to play. Maybe they can each put up a mill. Like, they're not going to front the whole 10 million because there's going to be so many eyeballs. Aren't they worth so much money that it won't matter to you mentally? But it does, though, right? Like, I know, I understand that, but it does, right?

Like, if I'm playing, if I'm playing, like, you guys or Lurch or somebody for, like, $100, right? That $100 doesn't really matter, but, like, I will be furious if I lose it. Like, that would be a very emasculating thing. Like, imagine if then right afterwards they should have, like, Tigers should have to, like, write, fill a check for $10 million on the camera and, like, hand it to him. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

That would be so dramatic. And I would say that no matter how much money you're worth and these guys are worth a decent amount, $10 million is $10 million. Totally. It is. Like, that's a lot of money regardless. Right. Like, when they, you know, like, when, like, when, like, Tiger gets divorced and whatnot and they're, like, fighting over, like, a $9 million a state. Like, yeah, dude, that's $9 fucking million.

Really? Think about what you can do with $10 million. What do you think Phil Mickelson is worth? 100 mil? No. Higher. Higher? Yeah.

Okay. Because I think he, you know, in his heyday, I think he brought in 40, 50, 60 million a year. I bet he's worth $3 or $400 million. Okay. Yeah, I just looked it up. I mean, you never know what these websites, but it says, according to Forbes in 2016, 375 mil. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, I think the... Because, I mean, all that he's taken in is over that, but like, what are you actually worth? What do you still have? Yeah. He gave whatever $100 million to E. to Ealing and all that. I think he was more than that.

But yeah. Yeah. So again, like that's still, even if you're worth 300, like he's giving away, that's a decent, like, chunk of what he's actually worth, right? What's the percentage? Yeah. 10 of 375. And, like, if you're putting up your own money, that's a pretty good amount of, like, percentage. If you've spent, if you've spent, right, Phil's like 48 or something, 47, if you've spent almost 50 years accruing $370 million and you have to give 10 of it away, that's devastating.

Like, are you fucking kidding me? That's imagine it feels a degenerate gambler, so I feel like he's done that, though. Like, I feel like, I know. That's true. But I bet it hurts every time, though, dude. Probably does. Why you keep gambling is it fucking makes you feel alive. I agree with you.

I just don't think it would, even if they did this whole thing where they gave the check and for the fans, it would be great. But, like, if you told me that, like, the sponsors behind doors weren't just, like, giving them that money back. It's crazy. So I feel like we'd never get a true. Which is bummer. Right. But imagine if they played like $100 million. I'm more excited for them.

Do you imagine that? All of their money. They put up both. Whoever loses just gets murdered. Yeah. Or they have to be homeless. Right. Imagine if they were like, okay, if they were like, all right, once the PGA championship ends in August, then we are going to spend the entire next month just practicing and preparing.

And at the, like, middle of September, we're going to play our own major championship for $100 million of our own money up against each other. Like that would be. Do you imagine watching that? Well, I was going to bring this up with, we read the Tiger Woods book, great book, right? Our boy, Armicottian, yep. People love that. When I read that. It was an awesome interview.

I mean, that guy's the best. The guy's awesome. When I read that book, I was stunned. I guess I was just too young. I was like six years old when this happened, but Tiger Woods did do this before many times. They had a thing called Monday Night Golf. I was too young, too. And it happened in 1999.

It was Tiger Woods versus David Duval. They played for a million dollars. And the ratings were higher than the final round of the U.S. open that year. The only thing that they didn't surpass was the final round of the Masters. So people watched just two golfers go head to head. They called it the showdown at Sherwood. They had unreal names. The next

year was Tiger Woods versus Sergio Garcia and the name was the 2000 battle at Bighorn. Like if we start getting names like this. That sounds like a historical, yeah. The battle at Bighorn, Tiger Woods versus Sergio Garcia. This is better than the PGA championship. This is literally better

than the PGA championship. Tiger Woods versus Phil Nicholson with an unreal name, whatever golf course they play at the battle at blank, whatever the golf course is. I will clear my schedule for a month. So they're moving the PGA to May, right? That's like their big thing. It's going to be different. They should just, they should move the PGA championship to May.

And instead of doing a full field and everybody, they should just have like four stars play against each other in the same group. And that's the major. That's just whoever wins it wins like a hundred million dollars. I'm very much waiting for the old, uh, crusty media guy take of that Phil versus Tigers going to ruin golf because it's just giving people what they want without having to do anything for it. Like the biggest problem with the majors, people say you don't get the big showdowns on Sunday, right?

They try to front load the matchups so you get these big names together. But Tiger and Phil are like, well, maybe we should just play each other. So now we just get this main line perfect golf that we want and people are going to be like, we should just do this all the time. And I, you know, the old crusty guy, right? They're going to be like, well, there's so many other stars in the game. And the game is so deep now and what that. I get it.

I totally understand it. And I do believe there are times when the big names aren't in the mix that those guys can be interesting, but on the overall, on the whole, they're boring as fuck, and we would way rather watch Tiger Woods. And the beauty of this, right, is that all we have to watch, the only thing we get to watch for the whole match is the two of them. They're talking. They're interacting with their caddy.

They're flustered. Tigers walk around. I told you, I want to watch Tiger take his hat off and then wipe the sweat off of his forehead with his arm. I love when he does that. I just want to watch that. I just want to be a lot lately, too. Yeah, I'm like, oh, it must be, according to Tiger, it looks like it's hot out.

I hope he feels cooler than he looks. I care about that. I would imagine this will get bigger numbers than a Sunday round at Augusta. The way that social media is now, everybody's going to know about it and everybody's going to tune in. I think it will do better. It'll definitely beat some big, big events. Augusta usually takes the cake, but it'll be interesting. It'll be very interesting to see.

And again, I understand the arguments on both sides, and I just don't care. I want to watch it. I just don't care. Can I ask you this? It's a money grab. I get it. I don't care. And I want to preface it by, I want this to happen.

I want the match to happen. It sounds like it's going to. Why would you do this if you're Tiger Woods? Like because Phil is clearly the guy who's pushing this. He's like, he's the one who's speaking out about it. He's like, we're going to do it July 3rd, but it didn't work out. He's the one who brought it up at the players. Tiger Woods has, it's clearly the better golfer in Phil in this generation.

If you're a tiger, why are you taking this? I know that he's once, he's very competitive and he wants to win that $10 million. But if you're a tiger, you really have nothing to lose, everything to lose. Do you think it's like an enlightenment thing? Like Tiger's the new guy. He's doing new stuff. He's trying to appear like friendly. He wants people to be able to see him for three hours straight, like while playing against Phil.

interacting like because he's done this with rory yeah he did it with rory a couple of years ago um over like overseas somewhere so like he's done it it is interesting like what his like you know i don't know it's interesting you got to wonder that guy's brain very complicated as we read in tiger woods by armic can i think it probably what riggs is saying that's what that's probably what is going on that he's just trying to um shed a better light on his personality and his persona but i like to think of it as like he wants to be back on top like he's using this as a stage like hey i can't get to Slap Phil down the staircase.

Yeah, I can't get to the final pairing right now on Sunday. Let me just fucking make my own final pairing, and I'm just going to dominate someone. I think that, I think Tiger might want people to think that, hey, look at me, I'm, like, being a nice guy now. But I think it boils down to he doesn't like when Phil says that the players, no matter if he's joking or not, I don't think he wants to raise a trophy. And he wants to, like, feel that feeling again. He wants to just, like, win money. He wants to raise a trophy.

He wants to backhand Phil and be like, you little boy, you sit there. I'm better than you. The other argument is, like, maybe he just wants to make $10 million out. I would love to make $10 million. Yeah, and I bet him and his team and, like, his agents and agency and all that, like TGR, whatever's foundation, like, guaranteed to get millions somehow from all this. So he's like, yeah, sure, we'll just guarantee ourselves millions. And, like, if I win, that'd be sweet.

I can raise a trophy. I can, like, like, like, slap Phil and, like, and, like, point at him and demean him. And, like, I still dominate you and own you and all that. And I suppose if Phil wins, nobody's going to be like, oh, well, he was better than Tiger the whole time. Totally. It is weird, though, that he's opening himself up to, like, because I do think that they will somewhere deep down, like, care that that's on their resume, that they lost that heads-up match. For sure. All right. It'll be interesting to see.

In theory, that should be coming up relatively soon if they were going to do it last fucking week. Phil. Stay on Phil. Second rules violation at the Greenbrier goes up, taps the grass down, the high grass before he hits his tee shot, calls the penalty on himself right away. Stay woke rigs believes that he did this on purpose to then showcase that he. He can call rules on himself, and he's not like a, his legacy's not ruined as like some wild cheater. I wrote a tongue-in-cheek blog and said that Phil is the new bad boy of golf because he just can't stay out of the rules violation. It's great.

I like it. I think he did this on purpose. I think he did it on purpose so that he could then instantly call a rule on a violation on himself. Look, I call the penalty on myself. I'm a great guy. I don't know. Maybe. Man, this whole rules violation thing, man.

Who the fuck else would do that? I know. You can't go up and tap the grass. He knows that. You can't just like move. Like imagine I just went up and moved a tree out of the way before I didn't do it. It's either. It's either.

It's the rules. It's Phil Mickelson. All right. He doesn't not know that. Is it either what you're saying rigs he did it on purpose or Phil is losing his mind. He's like your old. He's like your grandpa whose mind is just going. Yeah.

He's been doing some weird shit. Like imagine you're chipping behind a bush and you just went up and just like, you were like weed whacking with your club and you just like slice the bush and half. And you're like, oh, I can chip right over this. Now, not a problem. That's, he literally did the same thing. You're like move grass out of the way. What are you doing to?

So that was a wild move. I just keep staying in the limelight like you're saying. We had this LPGA player, Beatrice, Ricari. She's actually a Solheim Cup player. I've seen her play a little bit and stuff. She's a good player. Fucking whiffs. Just blatantly whiffs on the T-box.

So I saw this. You know, you're scrolling through your timeline. You see stuff and you don't have like the volume on and stuff. And I assumed that she did a, she was attempting to do a tiger stop your swing because of a camera or a bird flew over or something, and that it was like, oh, she didn't actually whiff. It was like she technically stopped intending to hit the golf ball

and this would be fine. No, she's fucking her footlights slip. She's missed the golf ball. She's missed. On a tee with a driver. I like that she did the, after she missed, she did like the basketball players do it a lot

where they kind of, oh, my shoulder kind of hurts. She did, like stomped her feet a little bit, like something was wrong. She's like, no, you just whiff. No, you have to. That's like playing hockey when you would just fall sometime. You'd always check the bottom of your skate plate.

Be like, oh, the guy, the guy in the pro shop, sharpened him my skates, must have fuck something up. No, do you just fell, dumbass. This was a good one for all those hackers out there to just see, you know, a professional, an actual golfer on TV, you know, take an attempt at a golf ball and just miss. I mean, everyone's been there. I mean, I don't know. The last time I was there, but probably when I was like eight years old. I know when I was there.

You swung and missed recently? No, I mean, I wouldn't say recently. It was in college. Okay. And it was, you know, I was probably at the time like a, I don't know, like a 10-12 handicap. Yeah. And it was teed up. Balls teed up.

I have a driver. The second hole at Newton Commonwealth. For anybody that's out there, it's in the Boston area. It's a little west of Boston. Newton Commonwealth. They always say you've got to bring your hard hat because it's like it's like a 5,400-yard 18-hole golf course. That's like the holes are basically on top of each other. You're hitting across other holes and shit.

It's chaos. Very fun golf courts on the side of like these Newton like hills. But anyways, second T, power five. And it was when I was in college And I was the most hungover person in the world I think we went to bed at like 5.30 morning He had like an 8 o'clock tea time. So I was like actually just super drunk still

But like also in that weird hazy hungover face And it's slow as shit out there a lot of times when you play So we get through the first hole, whatever Staying on the second tee And we're staying on the second tea for like 15 minutes So there's a build up behind us So there's like a whole group of four people on the tea waiting And our whole group of four

And it's a tough tee shot I'll give myself that. And I teed it up on the right side of the tee box, just trying to play a little draw. And I just swung and looked up, and the ball just wasn't in the sky. And I just looked down. It hadn't even oscillated.

I mean, I hadn't even touched the golf missed about six inches. Stayed on the tee? Oh, I didn't even touch the golf ball. It just, I just missed. And I just started my routine again. My buddy was just, he didn't even say a word. He was like, what? That's something you're just buried deep and you all just forget about.

Yeah. Just don't bring it up ever again. Yeah. And then I ended up making par on my second ball, but it was just like a six. because he was like, well, you just, I mean, you just missed. I play, I, I played with, uh, over the, uh, break. I played with my dad.

Um, oh, oh, speaking of my dad. Oh, wow, Mr. Brelly. Played with him for the first time in a long time, right? We just haven't like, he's busy on the weekends with the restaurant and during the week I can never take off. He always plays, like, he'll play with a buddy or by himself at, uh, our, like, public course by our house during the week. He'll try and get out for twilight and stuff. I just can't make it.

So I finally got a chance to go out there and play with him. And, um, um, couple holes in and I'm like I'm watching him and he's playing well he doesn't hit a long ball he's hitting it down the middle and he's playing and he's like keeping up with me and then he like starts dubbing some shots and I'm like making jokes from across the green like oh am I rubbing off on he starts like dubbing like wed shots and then I say well where the fuck is your square strike that I bought you for Father's Day you know like the cheating club right he's like oh like I'm just like using this one whatever I'm like okay he's like using a pitching wedge of seven iron so another

hole comes up and I'm on the other side of the green and I'm like I'm reading a put and he's chipping and he just skulls another one over the green and he's I'm like, well, I'm like, well, now, why aren't you using the guf? I want to see how it works. You got you the right club. I got you something. And he looks, he looks down and he just, like, shakes his head. He goes, I lost it.

What? He goes, he didn't have the heart to tell you. He didn't have the heart to tell me. He's like, I can't believe you keep asking me about this goddamn club. I was going to order one on Amazon. Like, I had it all ready to go. I lost it. And he's like, I just haven't had a chance to buy another one.

I was going to put it in my bag. He's like, I feel horrible. He's like, it was my first round out there. He took it out. he hit it he said he had four great shots checked up right next to the hole people were like what the fuck is that golf he's hiding it in his bag and stuff he doesn't want anyone to see he's doing his old thing and he says he just left it somewhere on a green went back someone probably stole it he went back the next day to even check if the pro shop had it they said no he went back the next day went back a week later nothing oh i feel so bad now i know i felt bad i was like oh dad i was like it's all right man you can hit a bump and run with a driver i don't give a shit i just like see the goddamn club dad you should just told me i don't care I love you, buddy.

Oh, man. I have, like, secondhand sadness. I know. It sucked because I was so ready to see that club in action. Especially, he's like, we haven't played together at months and the minute we're going to play together, I don't fucking have it. He's like, Jesus Christ. Then looking back, the way he was answering on, like, why he wasn't using the club was so just like, there was no reason for it. He's like, I just want to, like, practice the pet.

I'm like, you have a club that you're, like, you're not practicing for anything. You never want to practice ever, dad. You're just trying to hit low good shots and beat your buddies for five bucks. I know. Yeah. So we ended up playing. playing over the break and I play with him

and I play with my girlfriend's dad and my girlfriend's dad's a, he's a funny player, he screams and he gets crazy, he gets crazy on the golf course, he just like yells at himself and he's like, just like me, I love it.

Yeah, but he's just like more of like a, he's like, just a big, like a big guy that just like, he just misses, he goes like, fuck! And he just like screams. And he swung and miss. And it was, it was quite a scene.

He just, he just had a real short back swing and he just went up and we were like, whoa! And just like, whoa! Like we all were just standing on the tee box. like, wow, like, what just happened? He just blew up. And he took a huge divot. The divot went over the ball, and it just, like, the ball just, like, survived.

Like, the ball just survived this massive impact on the ground. And he just made just, like, a funny joke. He stepped back. He goes, all right, just a nice little practice. Like, just, you know, we're just going to get back up there. I'm like, okay. He's done this before. This guy's going to lose his fucking.

He's trying not to just explode, right? We were like, me and my dad looked at each other like, please, God, please hit this next ball because we don't want to get hit with the goal. That is, like, when someone is. playing poorly and they're a psychopath on the golf course. You are so nervous over every shot watching like please let this guy hit a good one. Just stripe one.

The next 10 minutes are going to be awkward as you're probably. So I got to, I keep getting a bunch of questions, more questions about the transfusion. When we were up at Cabot last week, they didn't have the transfusion. Wow. So I'm on a campaign to get it added to the menu.

I want it to be called the either the rigs or the barstool transfusion. The rigs sounds great. The rigs transfusion? Yeah. Yeah, that's nice. So Cabin, I know you're listening. Put that on the menu.

Let's reprint the menus. I'll even help you with some of the cost of the reprint of the menu, but you got to put that on the menu. Which it's not actually overly uncommon. We've talked about this before for courses to not know. Like they either when you say transfusion, they give you the look like, oh, yeah, no problem. Or they're like, what the fuck you talk about? So a lot of people, because every time, you know, we're doing Instagram stories, we're drinking, we're getting old drunk on the course. We're always like talking about transfusion.

So a lot of people are going to ask me. So I'm going to give the recipe again, okay? It's vodka, usually a double. Ginger ale, you fill it almost to the top. You got to leave a little bit of room, but then you do double vodka, ginger ale almost to the top. And then you do a splash, maybe two splashes of a grape, maybe two, but it's pretty much a splash. It's nothing more than that. A splash of grape juice, grape juice.

If they don't have grape juice, you can substitute that for cranberry juice, which is what we were doing at Cabot. But I will say, as awesome as they are at Cabot, the first day I was giving the recipe, and they were like, we don't have, we just don't have grape juice. And I was like, go with cranberry, not a problem. Still delicious. Drinking them. The next day we came back, we're like, we're going to do transfusions here. That's how you make them. You got to use the cranberry.

And they were like, oh, no, no, no. We ordered a bunch of grape juice. You guys are good to go. That's unreal. Yeah, phenomenal. But that is the recipe. It's vodka, usually a double. Ginger ale almost all the top, just a splash of grape.

And boom, you're good to go. Transfusion. Now, over the week, I also played Glen Oaks, which is, I think, the first time I ever had a transfusion with you, Riggs. We played with a couple buddies. So I played with these two guys, great guys. Shout out to J.R. and Alex had an unbelievable time. But we had a real early tea time. And the first thing that went down my – that touched my lips was a transfusion.

And there really has nothing like it. I mean, you're on the golf course. You're putting. It's an unbelievable golf course, Glen Oaks. So you just feel great. It's in phenomenal shape all time. It's in, like, you're walking on like this, like, just spongy, grass and like just the drink just feels nice

in your hand it's in like this plastic cup I think they double plastic cup it they do at at Glen Oaks they double plastic cup it so it just feels like you have this firm like impenetrable like thing holding your delicious transfusion I got so drunk on this golf course that I was I saw three balls at one point on the 17th hole

we were on 18 like the DJ hole yep and I'm gonna fucking blast it through over the hole and I just like put it three feet into the water I couldn't I've never gotten that drunk on a golf course. I must have had seven transfusions because you know it better than anyone. They just keep bringing them out to you. Like a guy's just on a golf cart

and just comes and brings them out to you. I was like, please stop doing this. It's 12 o'clock in the afternoon. I got things to do later. I'm going to die out here. I'm going to die out here. And they go down. The transfusion goes down so smoothly. I got so drunk. I'm 24 years old. My mother picked me up from the golf course.

I left my golf course. I left my car. Great move. I was walking out to my car. I was stumbling. I'm like, if I get into a golf car, if I get into my car right now. I'm not only going to get arrested. I'm going to die. Yes. And I was like, transfusions will do that to you, man. Shout out to being very responsible. I will say this.

That's one of your first transfusion experiences, so that's just going to happen. And that's a little warning to all the listeners out there that haven't had transfusions before. Oh, they hit you. It's the first time, it's one of those that's like punch at a college party. Yep. Where it's like, oh, this stuff's delicious. There's nothing in here. I can drink it. And it's like, you have two or three glasses of it, and you're just annihilated. So you've got to be careful with transfusion.

It's so delicious that you'll drink a bazillion of them, but it'll hit you hard. That's the beauty of it. That's what's awesome about it. But it's just a warning. You got to be, you can't plan on driving home the first time you have them. No, really any time they have them. Have your mom on the ready. But that's a transfusion recipe.

Again, it's vodka, usually a double. Gingerail nearly to the top, just a splash of grape juice, maybe two, but usually just a splash and boom, you're going to have yourself. Why don't you call an Uber? Are you just like, I need mom right now? Yeah, I don't know. I think I had been texting her at the time. You think I was, like, texting at the time. Like, oh, how are you doing it?

I'm like, I'm done. I think I wrote back, I'm done. She's like, what does that mean? I was like. You were in a, yeah, you were in a good place. Weird place. The members had left, they had to make a, they had to make a flight. And they're just like, like, Frankie, you could just like, you can just like,

you can just like hang out. And I was like, okay. And we just had like another one. We just had another chance. Don't tell me twice to just hang out. I was mixing it up with just like these like guys in the clubhouse. I'm like, what's up? You guys have these truan shoes?

They're like, it's 11 a.m. Sir, we're having coffee. That's great. All right, we've got to hit some from the gallery because we haven't done some in a while. We're built up. We've got a handful really good ones.
