I'm going to be the right club today. Yeah. That is better than most. How about him? That is better than most. Better than most. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the No Laying Up podcast. Got a bonus episode for you. Three episodes this week trying to up our content delivery game here in this weird quarantine period.

So Justin Thomas was nice enough to get on the phone, go through a bunch of listener questions for about an hour and answer all of them in great detail. This is an excellent, excellent podcast I'm looking forward to. You guys hearing this one, before we do get started if you're like us, you got a little more downtime than usual on your hopefully washed hands. If you've already exhausted your golf creativity by messing around with the Calibre Customs Configurator Tools for drivers and wedges, and if your back is sore from the basement pudding you're doing, or chipping, or whatever you're doing, if you're all caught up on the latest season of Taurus SOS, then we suggest you keep checking out the recap of an event that

Calibre community got to be a part of. They invited eight members of its Calibre, CallawayGolf.com slash community to La Trobe Country Club, a home course of course, to the King, Mr. Arnold Palmer. They got to see what it was like to play on the King's turf and access spaces and places and mementos that few others get to witness or be a part of. So that video is available,

CallawayGolf.com slash community. But just go to Google or YouTube and whatever, just search for Callaway Latrobe Experience. Again, that's Callaway Latrobe Experience and you will find it all over the internet. So get a little chance to see what it's like to spend some time in the King's Backyard. It's excellent stuff.

So without any further delay, here is our Q&A with Justin Thomas. All right, I gotta say, man, this has gotta be first time we've done one remotely. I think since I was abroad, we've been killing it in but uh... we're practicing proper social distancing protocols i know we are just to make it feel like it's like normal i'm uh... sitting at

the table that we usually do that but i feel like we're talking you know next to each other all right how board you have to be to agree to just take random uh... random twitter questions uh... and take and take it to audio. I mean, I don't know how to scale it, but it's definitely pretty high on a scale of boredom. I have to say. Well, we're benefiting from that,

or from the fact that you are bored. So we appreciate that. The most important question, and I gotta say I'm very pleasantly surprised with the level of questions we got. We got a good mix of kind of some in-depth and some funny ones and also just some broad ones. I think that people want to know about professional golf life and stuff like that. So we're going to weave them in and out. But Dan Howard at Mustard Tiger asked, with all the free time, have you been working on the biggest hole in your game? Driver off the deck.

Wow, great question. Considering I have a practice doll once since the players, it's probably the exact same place it was when I stopped. I've played some rounds, but I've had no desire to actually go out to practice. I mean, I keep sending videos. I'm better at driver off the deck. I'm not killing people anymore. I'm a pretty, I would say, you know, run of the middle average driver off the deck player.

And I feel that I'm not putting other people's lives in danger when I hit it. So I guess I need to prove myself in a current before that reputation goes away. Well, I love that you preface like you're not killing people anymore, because Jay Neal 11 asked if you stay in touch with the family of the guy that you killed with the driver off the deck. And as well as, got a question about Valspar, you know, the fact that Valspar didn't happen,

does that make a little easier for you to move past what you did there? I've never, I'm never gonna love this. That's all I've ever, I was excited to go back to Tampa for many reasons to the Valfour and play this year, but I, I'm going to be personally honest, I, I never thought about that. And so you just brought it up. So I was very excited.

I'm sure he would have come out and said, Hey again. And, you know, he's, he's still he's doing great, just like he was after he took a little two hopper there from one of my gyro, but yeah, unfortunately I won't be able to catch up with him this year, but maybe next year. You got to be like, man, how many gloves do I have to sign for this thing to go away. All right. And the trader. Kale Bando asked the good in the bad of being the child of a club pro. The good I would say is that I mean, just the fact that he's a club pro and I was, but I mean, he's a great club pro and a great instructor. So I mean, I would say that's been the great part for me because we still my coach and we continue to do everything

and we have such a great relationship. So I would say that's the best part of it because it was obviously very easy for me to find an instructor, the bad. What honestly bothers me is we don't look at probably more so in high school often. I mean, I don't read very much anymore, but when I did, I always saw this. When when I was put stuff up and people just saying I'll be yeah it's easy to be out

on tour with your dad's you know when you grow up around it and you're you're giving all this stuff and it's like I mean I worked my ass up pretty hard to get where I am. I mean yeah I do agree that I was very fortunate to you know to have the access to go play and practice but I mean I'm the one that that would go out there and hit the balls and my dad and I was very fortunate to have the access to go play and practice. But I mean, I'm the one that would go out there and hit the balls and my dad and I was put in the time when I was in high school in college to get where I am. So I could have the greatest facility in the entire world and get every club I want for free and be the richest family in the history of the world, which we were not anywhere close to. And I get still not the answer, but I've earned myself to get here.

So I would say that gives me that that bothers me the most. anywhere close to and I can still not be on for but I've earned myself to get here. So I would say that that gives me that that bothers me the most. If people just kind of assume when your dad's a club pro, you get everything and see you and you're out on for. Yeah, that was the case in every son of a club pro would be would be out on tour. That would that's obviously not necessarily the case. But here's a good one. Something we talk about quite a bit on here and something that we would love to see happen

on the PGA tour. This is at Willie Wilder. Should players and caddies be mic'd up closely? Does entertainment value carry more weight than privacy and discretion? So I think he's asking this in the sense of, you know, how you guys have the microphones on you currently. And we've even advocated for finding a way

to get microphones on players and caddies. I'm wondering what your general take on that that is how realistic that is and how players would would adapt to that. I don't think it needs to happen. I mean, everybody can vary. It's pretty apparent that everybody can hear what we say playing well enough and not there anything bad happening or anything secret, but nobody needs to hear what we're talking about going out in fairways.

I mean, a lot of it's personal. I mean, I hope I'm playing with a close friend where we might be talking about, I don't know, maybe some business types up or we might be talking about family stuff or just, you know, something that, and I want to see, I don't want my caddy to hear. Maybe I'm asking him something about that. So, I mean, we talk about stuff that it can be private. It doesn't, nobody needs to be carrying it. And I thought it takes us wrong person, maybe a producer to hear it, or someone in the office, or then people start getting offended at it. And I mean, I think the mic picked up plenty already. They don't, they pick up many things that aren't even intended to get picked up, so I don't think it's necessarily needed for us to be wearing like, now if guys want to wear it, you know, knock yourself out, but I will not be one that's wearing a mic. necessarily needed for us to be wearing lights. Now, if guys want to wear it, you know,

knock yourself out, but I will not be one that's wearing a mic. Interesting. What about kind of separating it out? If it's not broadcast live, right? If a production truck has access to your, your kind of what coming to an agreement with players to be like, Hey, if we catch some good conversation from you that's very relevant to what just happened, can we run it in replay good conversation from you that's very relevant to what just happened, can we run it in replay? Because honestly, I don't want to hear live commentary live, because it's going to look a lot like what Tiger and Fills look like, a lot of hunting.

I was going to say that you, yeah, it's not all interesting. And I think filtering out the uninteresting stuff is important. I, like I said, I don't just don't want to hear that live stream, but gosh, even if it's just after you miss a putt on the low edge, if you can say, the announcers might be saying he missed red that, but you might say to Jimmy, hey, I actually pulled that a little bit. That kind of stuff, I think, would be really a value added. Yeah, yeah. In that part, I agree with it.

That's where you kind of walk the fine line or it's like, how can you do it? I do think that part of school, it's just just it's obviously hard to get one without the other. I do think that that will be cool. And I mean I love watching the web events when the guys are mic'd up and I mean I say some pretty weird stuff on the course a lot of stuff that I probably don't even know that I say. So that's probably what scares me about it is actually hearing what I say. But like you said, if it's not live, I mean nobody, you don't want to have that awkwardness of just showing the camera to you guys walking, especially like if you're in Mexico where you can't even walk and have a conversation at the same time, at altitude and nobody has a breath and it's awesome.

So I think you have the whole, you know, the conversations in the shots, you know, maybe when the balls in the air or whatever it might be, that stuff would be cool, but it's hard to obviously find a half-medium and perfect it, but I think it could be cool. Yep, that makes sense. All right, there's a lot of questions within this next one. This is from AC SoTile. It looks like. We'd love some nerdy shot-making questions. So like, what are your go-to shots? And as a high ball hitter, how do you knock it down? What are your shape patterns? How do you approach your shot club selections around the green and what are your thoughts

with putter? That's a lot. So take what you want from that, but kind of, yeah, your style. Sounds like this guy is trying to revamp this game. Yeah, it's got to say, he might be searching a little bit, Andrew. But kind of walk us through some of those thoughts. For me, my good two shot is always going to be a cut. That's what I'm comfortable doing.

I feel like I can cover the ball and I can hurt it left. And it's kind of slice it. It's really as much as I want to or need to. I mean, I can hook it. I can draw it. But I don't have quite as much consistency in terms of a start line or finish line. Like I know, you know, a place like Medina where, I mean, my dad and I are talking about

this the other night. We play the practice round and I'm walking around and I'm like, you know, it's funny when we always go to a course for the first time because my dad is, you know, we're going through all the normal thing. We practice, we play the course and he kind of waits a little bit. It's always kind of somewhere in the middle of that back and I. And he's just like, so, you know, what do you think of the course? He always does that thing. And, you know, there's times where I like it. You know, I like it. You don't like it or like it more than others. And, and he, you know, he's like, how do you think about it?

And I'm like, dad, I'm gonna be honest. I'm like, I'm having a hard time with it. I'm like, every hold, I feel like dog like hard left. I'm like, I don't know how I'm gonna hit these fairways. Like a lot of shots don't match, you know, my shot shape, like I look at number nine, you got to draw it. Number 10, it's just draw, number 11, it's a draw. And I'm just like, number 15, third, 14 draw, 16 draw,

and then we get out there and I end up playing well. So it's like, that part is hard, but I just stuck to my cuddle week, and I know that I wasn't driving it well, or I was hit in my iron's well, but I just knew that I could start it left, and I could cut it, obviously being soft as it was, changed a lot.

But I know that if I'm even not hitting it well or I'm struggling with things that I can always start it left and I can just kind of splice that or cut it back where somewhat near where I needed to go. That was a long way to say my go-to-be stop, but I like working the ball bunch of different ways. When I'm hitting it well, I feel like I can work at left or right, right, left, well high and kind of get access to pins more so, you know, doing that and not thinking it down is something I've really improved on the last, probably, through four years, I think that's kind of taking me

to the next level, especially with wedges and short irons just being able to access those back pins or soft range or whatever it might be. And for me, it's not very hard. It just kind of takes practice. It's not something you know, I just put it back in my stance and soaked down. And the next thing you know, like I'm hitting a great knock down it. It takes repetition of taking speed off of a couple of club's extra

and just kind of figuring out what for a good way that works for me. Because something that works for me might not work for for Ror McLeod or Tiger Woods or Jordan C but it's like for me. So it's really just about kind of pulling with stuff on the range and figuring out what works for you the best. In to be honest, there's something about a putter in there. Yeah, just kind of what your thoughts are with putter. It was pretty broad, but if you have a split, yeah. It kind of varies, I mean, for me, a lot of stuff is fundamental and making sure my setup is good.

But when I'm putting my desk, my speed is really good. It's every pot tends, I don't like hitting the back of the hole. If I put them not a firm pot putter, I like, I mean, to me, it doesn't make sense to why I wouldn't want to be able to use the entire hole. Whether from, you know, there's going to be those two, three, four footers where I might have a little bit harder, but you never see me, you know, like Rick where he just, I mean, playing with him and those team events. I know he's going to make it, but I just know that you always have that strength of like, damn, I got to keep my hand on my coin and be sus it makes it. So that part's a little different, but I'm just I focus on see the most and I just try to see that ball going down that line.

And I'm trying to make sure my set up good ball position, my online and then that's stuff I do in the practice game and then from there, it's just kind of all folks can see. Yeah, that that it kind of ties into another question we got from RJD 5021 and there's a tweet about, from the 15th club this week, it was a quick pop quiz. Best players in Strokes Gain began from 50 to 125 yards with an average of .04 strokes gained per shot. And the answer to that was you.

You were the best player in the world since Strokes gained from 50 to 125 yards. So I wanted to get you talking about that stat, how you decide on what shots to hit between those yardages. If you have stock wedge yardages, that you kind of build in from different numbers and different flights more or less spin how you work on those and how you got so good from that range.

Yeah, I've taken a lot of pride in my web games since I've been on tour. I think it's, I mean, it took a, it took a little bit. I feel like, I mean, obviously when you're, when you're not winning tournament or not in contention, nobody really knows because you're not, you know, you're not on TV or the shots aren't getting shown,

but I've continued to work hard on it because I'm sure a long hitter. It's, I mean, it's a no-brainer to me me and I've always worked hard on it and trying to hit my numbers, but I would say 90 and Jimmy would agree with it. I would say my caddy is that I would say 98% of the time when I hit a wedge, it's not full. I mean, I had a lob wedge, a 100 yard, a just a stock lob wedge, a 100 yard, I can hit it at 105, but I, you know, it's in that 98 to 102, 10 to 10 on a flat,

try to be brought, whatever. And if I have a 100 yard, I'm gonna hit a 56 degree, 98 times out of 100. It's just, I know that if it's a superb green or a good wave premiere of Downwind, then on to the law bed. But that perfect scenario just doesn't happen very often. So for me, basically all my wedges, I mean, you can see every wedge I hit, I'm holding it off. I don't follow through all the way. I come choking down and as with that's just the way that I hit, I'm holding it off. I don't follow through all the way. I come choking down and that's just the way that I like it's wet, isn't it? I feel like that's how I

have the most control. So it's something that I've done for a little bit now, especially since I've been on tour, you know, the first year is a professional in the web. I wasn't as good on it and I really worked hard on it and I think it's just kind of gotten better every year and it's something I think a lot of pride in. I think it's why I've had a lot of stuff I have is because of my large hands. Yeah, and I always am curious, and it's a weird way of asking, I'm not sure how to ask it,

but let's say a couple of ways, and do you have, would you say, you have a different shot for an AD yard shot and a different one for 78, or is it, what point do you get to that you look at the pen and you see the distance and you're more feeling it and trusting your instincts more than you are working off an exact number? I would say inside of like 60 to 65.

So I have a stop with my 60 degree that I can hit it. I mean, on your normal scenarios and like normalize, I can hit within 60 yards. I can hit it with any yard about at the time. I just I know and then I can hit at 65 yards as well if I don't choke down and then I haven't gotten as consistent with my 70 yard every single day on the range. And I know that it's gonna go that far. So once I get below that, I kinda get to the point where like, you know, you see me not using a glove, and it's like it's getting close to do a chip shot,

and I just kinda look, because to me, it's like how often when I go out on the range, and you warm up and hit ball for that first pin, and you hit it within five to 10 feet every time. And then someone like how far is that I'm like I don't know I'm just trying to hit it to that 10 that's all I'm trying to do so why am I going to try to hit it 43 yards when I have no idea how to hit it 43 yards but if you tell me hey hit it to that 10 I'm going to hit it to that 10 but everybody's different I mean it's like Bryson was plotting I mean you if you told me to hit a putt 27 feet,

like I probably couldn't hit it within two feet, whereas if you put a whole 27 feet away for him, and you didn't tell him how far it was, he says that he can't do that. So it's weird and P. Reed is very, very meticulous and precise in his, just in those, I mean, he's like, you know, I had 27 yards, I know that shot and to me that's crazy,

but he might be the best chipper and clutter of the ball I've ever seen in my life. Sir, so you can't knock anybody's specific technique because everybody's different, but to me it's probably inside of 60 yards kind of when I start feeling it. You say you can't knock anybody's technique, but can you knock my technique, which is,

God, I hope this goes 65 yards right now. Like that's where I met on those. I mean, that's the stuff that I think even Amateur golfers can program themselves to hit a certain club, 130 yards, 145. But it's those 65 to 90 yard shots that I just can't understand how you guys are that precise. I mean obviously I understand how talented you are but the actual level

of precision is what always amazes me but we got a question on. That's what I would say to Amitabha golfers. I mean it doesn't matter how good you are, there's not a person in the history of the world that's especially an amitabha. That's like you what, you're just you're pitching it and wending it a little too good. I would maybe stop practicing that as much as like, no, that should be the, what you spend the most time on any junior golf or any amateur golf or any, I mean, set me to professional golf. Like, that's what I work on the most because it's where you're saving most shopping.

On the read note, got a question from Mash and L and his question is, what was your thought

behind the joking situation, joking about the read situation at the role Melbourne practice round. Like for me doing it, my joke? Yes. Well, I mean for me, it looks like I don't care if I like the person, if I don't like the person, if we're going to go out and have a practice round and have a game, I'm going to talk shit. That's just how I am.

Like, I like to close on. I like to, you know, be competitive and that's just how I am. And he was kind of giving me some grief about, you know, he thought that was his ball. We walked up there and he's kind of standing there and missing that. And he's just kind of jawing me a little bit.

So once I got in there, I was like, well, this is a pretty perfect opportunity to just make fun of him a little bit. And I mean, plenty of people were saying it's like, all you're, I'm endorsing what he did and this and that. It's not that. You can think of it anyway you want. But yeah, what he did is what he did in the act. Yeah, that's, that's me. That's not my area. I mean, he was my teammate that week and I wanted them to play great. Yeah, when when we play in individual tournaments, I want to beat him and you know, I obviously would if he did something like that with me, I wouldn't be too happy, but he's my teammate

that week and I was poking out. I'm just like I post one of Tiger, just like I post one at Webb or the Rick or whatever it is. Like, that's the how I am. So people could have looked at it however they want and thought it was funnier, thought it was me promoting a theater is what I got told a lot about. But it's the end of the day, I'm like, guys, this is my teammate this week. And I'm just trying to have a little bit of fun with him. And if you can hear that sense of it

and where you can understand that, then that's not my problem. Yep. On that note, as well from the President's Cup, If you just hear that sensitive where you can understand that then it's not my problem. Yep. On that note as well from the President's Cup, Connor paid an ass. How did Tiger approach you about playing together at the President's Cup? Well, he's so meticulous in how he went about everything, in pairings and what he wanted to do. I mean, we, there was a chance we were going to play together in Paris, so we'd done some practice with each other's softballs, and that part I knew.

And once we both were on the team, after he won Japan, we pretty much knew who was going to be on the team anyway, but that kind of locked it up, and we were talking about it probably more after that. He's like, well, what do you think about us two going out first? It's present stuff on Thursday, and I'm like, dude, what do you think about us doing going out first? It's present stuff on Thursday. I'm like, dude, that's like, that would be unbelievable. And he's like, all right, well, let's do it. And, you know, we kind of went back and forth. He's like, what do you want to do this? And, you know, looking at what he needs to do as a captain was the hardest part about when he could play because there were, unfortunately, a lot of

obligations he had to do. And also, with those those obligations his body wasn't going to be in the shape It needed to be in the play as much as we all wanted to So I was like dude, I'm gonna play with you whenever you want to go I would take that to get anybody and be happy about it But you need to listen to your body. You need to you need to listen like don't be stubborn here Like I know I know you want to play. I want you to play I'm like but this is a team of them and like we need to win this thing and I want to win it for you just like all the corner win it for you so if you need to swallow your pride and play two or three

matches as opposed to four or five like you need to do that and he was great about it we wanted to go out Saturday afternoon but he was like I can't do it it. It was cold that day, he's sitting on a cart, he's like, it just, it's like, I can't play. And you and Rick are rolling, you guys go back out. So it was really cool. Obviously, I'll never forget it. It's just the fun times we had. But for me, I don't know what it was. You know, it's like this. I don't know how much everybody remembers when they watched it, but just walk into the tee. You kind of, it's a lot of times it gets on camera, but it was a pretty long walk. And the putting your into the first C, and I'm not saying remember that. And often you're with your partner, so you kind of wait for him or the he's putting

him since putting up for Chippin and you guys watch the C together. And my dad always kind of finishes up with me because he always says, you know, you need anything or have any questions. And I'm, I usually say no, and he just says, go get him and then he goes on his way. So we're walking to the sea and kind of no one's really either tiger or eye are talking with us on Thursday and he's like, you ready to go get him? I'm like, yeah. And then I don't know why I didn't even think about saying it the night before the week before anything, but it just kind of hit me

and I just, I kind of put my arm on a shoulder and I was like, hey dude, he's like, what's up? I'm like, I want to see that player that I looked up to my entire life thrown. I'm like, I'm going to be like, what's up? I'm like, I want to see that player that I looked up to my entire life thrown up. I was like, that's the target that I want to see this week. And he just kind of like smiled and winked at me and he just said, let's go. And I'm like, that was, I don't know why I said it. I don't know what, what came to my mind, but it was a pretty cool moment. And one of them, I'll remember for sure.

Oh, yeah, I got, I me in the feels a little bit there. That's cool for you. Well, all right, a couple of things I wanted to ask more about the Presence Cup. I don't think we got specific questions about this, but one, I wanted you to compare and contrast kind of what, what kind of exercise the role Melbourne was compared to what you're used to in professional golf. And then you got to take us to that, the putt on the 18th green and the T.O. shout out as well. Yeah, it was weird. I don't think I played that whole enough. Obviously during the week

because I hit that T-shirt, I thought I hit it five miles right, and I thought we just lost the match, and we get up there and I literally miss the fairway by yard. So I mean, I looked like an idiot because I just hate to say I was head down and I was think I'm playing my club after hitting my shot and I was like, I can't believe I just lost this match for us and we're walking up and, you know, it's how you're hit the great iron shot in there and then he came in and had the plot and it only part I had him read and put two matches together, which you make sure to remind me all the time. But yeah, it just was,

we talked about it on the bus in the morning. I showed everyone the video of the PEO thing and it just, a lot of guys hadn't seen it. It was kind of a joke that me and my buddy, Bud Cully and then another teammate of mine that went to Alabama who were close with that we would just stand as a joke all the time and I was texting with him on the way to the bus on the way to the course and they sent me the video and I was like you

know what I think I make a big plug today I'm saying that and yeah I showed this to everybody and I told everyone I was like if I make a plug today I'm saying that's when everyone's like yeah you should do it and then all of I was like, if I make a club today, I'm saying this and everyone's like, yeah, you should do it. And then all of a sudden, I'm kind of reading this putt and if I'm walking around, I'm like, man, I can't believe I have the chance right now to make this putt to say this. Like this is not the lined up any better.

And again, it's just one of those things that happens when your reactions take over and now yelled it. And it was great. I mean, I don't know what what you think of me in this team event. I feel like maybe the best version of myself in terms of golf and being fiery comes out, but unfortunately I look a little bit arrogant and talking at times and I'm not a huge fan of that. But at the end of the day as long as we win our matches and we end up winning this team, then I don't really care when I'm. I think we were all trying to figure out what the hell you were yelling.

I think it became clear afterward, but the context behind it makes it make a lot more sense. But back to Royal Melbourne, kind of take us through some of the things you had to go through navigating that golf course. I mean, I think that first hole alone watching that and watching guys play it differently, depending on where that pin was. How different was that for you and how long did it take you guys a while to kind of learn the strategy of that course? Yeah, we were fortunate that we had whether it was Tiger or Freddie, you know, a vice captain or like Rick, but the guys had been over there before. So for me, it was the first time.

I loved Link's ball, I loved that firm and fast play. So I was excited going into it. I would say the hardest part was honestly just getting arrested again after that just grueling long travel and getting your body feeling somewhat decent again. So it was a lot of treatment and just trying to kind of work out and get your body moving and feeling properly. But then, you know, because the practice rounds you're all moving slow and you're just kind of work out and get your body moving and feeling properly. But then, you know,

because the practice rounds, we're all moving slow and you're just kind of going through the motions and honestly just trying to stay awake. So I kind of relied on my partners, you know, in terms of how to play it and Jimmy, he'd get there. So it was so fun, man. It was like, it's a place that,

if you get it with a certain wind and certain set up, it wasn't very hard, but if you got it really windy, you know, as Everybody saw your wind and holes with hars and bogus sometimes. So it's the first one was so cool because it, you know, you can drive the, you can hit it over the Green or the driver, anybody in our team could not a short or long header. And then if you got that middle right then you had to lay up and if you were too close, you couldn't keep it on the green unless you hit it over there 40 feet left. So I was, I think I was fortunate, I mean tiger tearing me. He did that, especially that first round. I hit some good shots in the beginning, but for the most part, I just didn't really have it. He played great and then often a shot,

I played a little better, but again, you know, it just was about getting him in the fairway and then he'd hit it on the green and try to make some plus. So he was able to kind of plot me around the court if I had any questions, but I knew in that also in a shot, you know, like looking up at six, yeah, six was that drivable hole. I mean, I drove it with a five on Sunday and I mean, we laid up every day because that was my tee shot and he was sitting in the green and there's a good chance that the international's were going to try to go for it and maybe do some stupid and then we could end up one in the whole far so

it was little things like that and we felt like just getting the ball in play it's just like just get it in the fairway and then from there you have short irons in your hands all day because you have to have spin control coming to the green. God, just here, and you talk through all those is what makes that golf course just next level entertaining both for amateurs to play and for to watch professionals play it. So switching gears here, Michael Santana asks a question, it might be unrealistic, but let's let's dream hypothetical here. Do you think the PJ Taurus should do an event with everyone

playing opposite handed with JT playing lefty, playing righty and so on so ignoring the unrealistic part of that who would you have money on who would be the best opposite handed player amongst pros um i don't know i i mean i know the funny guys can for his farther than you know rickier i i don't i have no feet i have a pretty I have a pretty decent swing but I have no speed but like Brooklyn DJ obviously have speed I think Bryson has speed but I mean if you don't know where it's going or if you're playing the wrong course and sipping and putting stuff where as like Ricky pucks it really well I'm a pretty decent shipper in potter so I don't know I mean everybody is so different.

I mean, there's some guys that probably couldn't break 200. And then there's some guys that would expect to shoot in the 80s from the men's see. So you don't really know what you're going to get. But I still think that if I had a week and had to practice, and especially like I actually put the work in left hand event, and then I could shoot some pretty good scores.

Well, that's what Greg LeBlanc asked asked if you were able to play left-handed every day for two months. Would you be a single digit handicap? From the tip. Yeah, it doesn't. I mean, you can play whatever T's to get your handicap down. Yeah. Yeah, the thing is, like the thing is, it really is dependent on where I play.

Like, if I go play meta-less, like,aLess, I can't do it because the first carriage is too long. I literally fit like the first one I couldn't finish. I mean, it would, I can never use off the seat. Or if I go play Bear Club, like if you miss the fairway, you're three teams. Whereas if I go play Grow, 23, then I have places to hit it. Or it's just, it, I know it sounds bizarre. You can say that about right hand. It depends on where you you play but left hand is when you don't have as much control and you hit some some crooked shots like it is very dependent on where you play it to say the least

I mean I was trying to chip and put left hand and then sit on the greens out of those bunkers that like seminal I mean we might never. So it's crazy to think, but how about those course drops right there? Can we get that again? Metalist Bears Club Grove 23 and seminal for it, like basically in the same sentence, that was impressive. Thank you. Well, I don't know if this is too recent. And you know, if this is, you know, if you're ready to speak on this yet, or if I'm, you know, kind of tugging on an open wound here, but Thomas Dean wants to hear more about your back nine collapse in the left handed challenge with Ricky.

That was that one. That's that. You know, it's so funny because I told my dad, I'm like, this is literally what every amateur golfer does. I'm like, I shot 44 in the front and I told him what driving to 10 feet. I'm like, that I'm like, I can break 90 out here today. Like I'm playing pretty good. And then I just had a full meltdown.

I started thinking about what could happen. I'm beating Ricky good and then it's like, but I can, you know, if I play well in the sack, and I'm gonna be good. And I can break 90 for the first time, I'm less handed. And then I mean, it went haywire. I couldn't keep it on the planet.

I couldn't stop. I kept what happened. I couldn't keep it on the planet. I couldn't stop. I kept what happened? I had some left, right, left lands, and I kept trying to, you know, just like the golfer. And I mean, I'm trying to hit like these holes. Like, no, I can't do that. And I would just, and then I started dropkick, and then I would try to start hitting it.

And then I'd hit these 40 yard slices out of bounds. And I'm like, well, like, what am I doing? It's so stupid. So, it's driving me crazy that I couldn't just hit the shots that I wanted, but yeah, it was a sad day, but I feel confident that, you know, if we play again, I can give them a little bit better match. Alex Charleston wants to know, he says, the only question I ever ask and one answered is for a tour player to tell me what their favorite mid-round snack is and how they go about deciding what to take on the course snack wise. He says don't let me down.

My favorite on course snack is a peanut butter banana sandwich for sure that's the same down. I love those. Can I ask a question about the mid-round about the sandwiches. Do players prepare their own sandwiches or is that a caddie's responsibility if you ask me is the players are so i mean i would not feel right is a twenty-six year old man asking my caddie Jimmy to make my family support me now maybe if you have tiger how he feels about it he apparently doesn't feel the need or that he is capable at his age to make his own sandwich. So I don't know.

I mean, if you, everybody is different, you know, I know Brodera never made his own sandwiches. I guess he was, he sounded very difficult as well to make his own peanut butter jelly. It can be a little difficult. So I just, I don't feel right with myself as an adult if I have some, but if I ask another male or another person of older age beneath make me a sandwich.

It's, I don't know, I just would have, now Jimmy was like, hey man, I got the stuff, I'm gonna make the sandwich, if I be like, oh dude, that's awesome, like thank you, but I've never given a text in like, hey dude, would you mind going to get some bread and some peanut butter and some banana and some sandwich bags and maybe make up a couple sandwiches for us?

That'd be great. But be like, no, are you kidding me? I would tell him, if I was another person, I would tell him to tell me to go, that's myself. There's just no chance that I'm going to let that happen. That's about the answer I expected. I would have thought you make your own, but I also can't picture Tiger making his own sandwich in the player dining.

There's definitely got, I mean, a lot of it too is very dependent on where you are. Like, I don't have them every week. I mean, it makes a lot of sense to have them every week. But like, if I'm in a house, it's a lot easier than obviously if I'm in a hotel, like, you know, because you're getting groceries for the week or some tournament, you know, we'll even like do it

or the least stuff out to make sandwiches. And it's probably 50, 50 on that. So when it's there, I'll just make them in dining. I'll go and, you know, 10 minutes early. Cause I'm very particular in how I make my sandwiches. They need to be done correctly. So, right. Well, it's, uh, this is a, a weird kind of question,

but in, obviously you have a different tea time basically every day, but do you obviously you have a different tea time basically every day. But do you have any like hard, fast rules for how you go about planning your appetite during rounds of golf? Because in the little tournament golf I played this year, I find it like really hard to figure out when to eat. Like I'm kind of nervous, so I don't know if I'm hungry.

Like do you just say like every three or four holes I need to eat, something, how do you do it? It depends on when I play. So I'm not a big breakfast person, so it's not that I don't eat it, but I'll take, I love lunch, I love a big salad or with some girl chicken or some steak or something like that.

Like I enjoy that more, but obviously I have to eat. So for me, the morning rounds are a little bit harder for me to wear. I try to eat as So for me, the morning rounds are a little bit harder for me to wear. I try to eat as much as I can because, you know, like that's what kind of kind of gives me energy for the day, but the hardest hands down the hardest ones are the weekends when you get like the kind of 10 o'clock to like 11, 10 o'clock to noon or 10 o'clock to like 11, 30,

where you're playing through lunch. And you don't have the ability to eat lunch before you play. So, and it's easy to forget. Next thing you know, you're on like 11, you're like, damn, like it's two o'clock right now. It's 145. Like I haven't even eaten lunch. Like what am I doing?

And it's crazy, but just like the decisions you make and the little things you do, you don't realize you get a little bit more irritable or you get hangry. Now, it's the real thing. It's very dependent on my time that I play. I always have some power bars or snacks. I'll take a protein shake sometimes to where I would say I don't have a specific rule. Every three or four whole Jimmy, any of the sandwich ormy it's a snack but it's something where I can feel a comment and I'll usually away you know we'll hold to where like I'll be hitting a driver or something where we have a little longer walk and the whole before I'll

be like hey Jimmy like I need to eat on the next hole because yeah I know I found a bizarre but I will forget like I'll play the hole and I'll kind of get in a little zone or I'll get mad or something I will forget. Like I'll play the whole and I'll kind of get in a little zone or I'll get mad or something I'll forget. And then like a whole and a half later I'm like, damn I forgot to eat. So I'm like, hey Jimmy, like, you know, just make sure I get some to eat after that.

Cause then I'll hit my teeth out and be like, hey, here's your sandwich. I'm like, oh, thank you, you forgot. If I do forget. So it's just about saying, make sure you stay hydrated and make sure you have enough food in you. So that, you know, you don't make any soup you stay. Yep.

Phil H. He is at FIG Jam underscore PH. Your favorite course you've played outside of the PGA Tour in majors. So basically outside of tournament play, favorite course you've played. Ooh. Oh, that's a tough question. Honestly, and I feel like you're going to appreciate this because I did play there, but you like this style at all. There's a place in Chicago called Shore Acres that I love.

I really did love. It's the old school. I'm pretty sure it's death brainer. It's kind of, you know, it's got the squared long greens and it's all the old designs. It's not that long, but it's a place that around there. You can be so creative on how you hit shots and play it. And it's got a great vibe. I've only played there once, but it seemed to have a good membership.

And it was fun. I mean, I love those kind of places. You go out there and walk and you play in, you know, three, three and a half or four hours just kind of messing around. And you just can hit so many different shots and play so many different ways. It's not just like, all right,

it's a three wood and it's a nine iron. And I miss the green, it's a 60, but it's like, oh, I miss the green. Like I might not have to hit a six iron bump it up a pill or I can hit three wood or I can fly it up top. It's just,, but it's like, oh, I missed a green. Like, I might not be able to stick around bump it up a hill or I can hit three, what, or I can fly it up top. It's just, I thought it was firm and fast, but I found it very fun. And that's the first place I can't mind,

so I guess that must be it. That's what I wanted to, I want to learn and figure out what the hell they do to make that place firm and fast. Because when I played it, it was very firm and fast. And it's like, we're in the Midwest in Illinois. And also, the reframing is like, yeah, you can't just make, of course, was very firm and fast. It's like we're in the Midwest in Illinois. And also, referring is like, yeah, you can't just make courses play firm and fast

and anywhere you go, but that place for whatever reason, they're able to do it and it makes just all the difference in the world. It really does. Yeah. Did you like that play? Oh my God. It's in my top five, I think I've listed it

in my favorite courses in the US. I think we played it right on the same time, like fall of 17. I think you were there. It was being I put that BMW championship week and they had an unbelievable shape that week. Yeah. It's a fun track. I enjoyed it. So along kind of somewhat similar notes, Leo Methley says, do you think there

should be more events on tour based in the British Isles? I don't know. I like to golf, you know, how the courses are designed, but man, I don't know. I mean, I'm going to go play wherever it is. So I can't, if I say yes, I'm going to go play, if I say no, I'm going to play. I don't feel I would say too strong to one way or the other to really have any sort of opinion. You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't know exactly how that works with the PGA Tour.

I don't think they can just host events in Europe. I think it's more of like, hey, could we see some WGC's go there? Would you be encouraged to do something different along those lines? Yeah, I mean, the hard part is just when the timing is, it's hard going from the British open to Memphis. It's not like that's easy for us or something that we want to do. There's such a big event, but that being said, yeah, it would be cool going over to the Lecalfe National and playing something. I love that place, or Wentworth or something, but it's so hard. It's already hard enough to know the tournaments in the US so like do I really

want to travel to Europe to go play an event, probably not particularly in the middle of the season but do I want to play those courses? Yeah so it's kind of hard you know you can kind of play a double advocate with yourself back in Portugal day. Yeah and Robbie Ok asked would you consider playing the Irish open in port Stewart next year So that's what I'm going to do. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that.

So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. about it when he hosted it that I wanted to play not only for him, but just I love I know I loved offer there's a link to often I wanted to play, but it's just again it kind of goes back to what I said it's just it's hard to do and being two weeks I think it is

two weeks before the the British so there's events that I play in the States around then so it's hard to say I mean yeah I yeah, I'm always going to consider it and would always like to play, but it's just a fact of a reality of like, okay, is that something that's the best thing for me to win the British Open, or is that something that's best for me to still be in the condition and rest that I need when I get to the FedEx Cup.

So a lot of factors go into it just in terms of, do I want to play theEx Cup. So a lot of factors go into it just in terms of, do I want to play the Irish Open of course, do it then? I mean, I was just that. Kyle McGuire wants to know what's the best course you've played in Ireland or the UK? Role County down was probably my favorite, but I absolutely love Port Rush this past year.

That, I would put that in my top 10, I'm gonna play it. I, I don't know what it was, it was my favorite open replay played but man it just was I thought it was such a such a cool design and such a a kind of a risk reward type situation you could play each hole so differently and you can take it on or not I mean I you could you know you could argue all-in-scorcer like that but I just I felt like it had a little bit more dog legs and a little bit more elevation and undelacent than most links courses. It just was, I loved it. As soon as I played it for the first time, I was in love with it.

In similar consideration here with schedules and how this works, Matt Harrington asked, with the new schedule introduced last year and more top guys limiting their schedules somewhat, what can smaller tournaments do to pull in bigger names to their fields? What are some underrated, smaller tournaments in your eyes and what do they do right? It's tough, because it's, you know, a lot of it, it just kind of goes back to the same thing. It's like there's a lot of tournaments that I want to play.

I love the John Deere. I think the course is great. I'm only, it's fun. I have fun there. There's a couple great rest, little rest runs around there. I mean, sir Peterson, the tournament director is great, but it's just, it's, you just can't do it. You know what I mean? Like if you're trying to prepare for British Open or you're doing that, like it's very difficult to do and like, travelers is a tournament that I've played in since I've been professional and it's not a good time

in the schedule, but it's, I just, I love it. I've only played well there in one year but I really do love the golf course. I got to figure out if you know if we play this year what I got to do to play it a little bit better but they do stuff in terms of taking care of the guys and the families and and they can sure you know little things like the player dining is great, the food's great, the hospitality's great, all the volunteers are so nice to be around. It's so many little things like the player dining is great, the food's great, the hospitality's great, all the volunteers are so nice to be around. It's so many little things and it's easy, it's, there's things close by, I mean, it really is tough and there's only so much that he's tournament can do and a lot of it in reality is just kind of the look of the draw in

terms of who goes and who does it, but it really is a very self-assistition and dependent on if it works out. Christopher Lara asks, what is the most difficult hole and course for you when playing a normal season? That is tough. I can think of a hole that I don't play anymore. Does that count? Sure.

I mean, I absolutely hate number 18 at Houston. I, that hole, I absolutely hate number 18 at Houston. That's full. I hate it. It's so, it sets up so bad for me and that wins always in off the left and I just, you'll want over in that bright bunker and then I fat it over the right or I fat hook it in the water or I'll pull the drive like I, I hate that hole. It's just, it's so hard for me and I just feel like when I

I had a downwind one day and I had a good drive but I mean when that wind predominantly in off the left I feel like I step up there and I just I'll take my time and find my score card and be done. I have a hard time with that. He saw it at least I did then and I haven't given it a chance since then but in terms of a golf course, I'm trying to think. I mean, the Honda top man, it's a place where it doesn't matter how good you are. Or I mean, I think you look at results for people. Like, I've my rookie year I missed a cut.

My second year year I finished like third my third year I missed a cut my fourth year I won then last year it's like it depends strictly on how you're playing and if you're playing bad it is such a nightmare and you can hit it in so many hazards I mean I dropped probably nine times in two rounds my rookie year. I remember thinking to myself, I've never gone through so many golf balls in two rounds of the golf tournament. It just seems like every hole at the shot and it's always that time of year where it should

be nice out, but it ends up being like 55 to 65 and it's blowing 25 from the North and you're out on the course thinking how brutal it is. So I would say that's a hard of course and overall. James Nelson Jr asks if you were to create a hard-knock style TV show for the PGA tour, who would you want the cameras to follow around slash who would be the most interesting? I think people would, I mean, selfishly I think people would get a kick out of falling me around, but that would also involve a lot of other players because we hang out all the time and just kind of, you know, do whatever.

I mean, falling some of my kids around would be so entertaining and just watching him whether it be, you know, interacting with the family or people or his buddies and going hunting, whatever it is. I mean, kids is always entertaining and you can just sit and have lunch with him and just listen to him talk and just be entertained, just going somewhere and do something. Joe Dolan asks, what's the number one thing you've learned from Tiger? I don't know. There's plenty of things, but that's tough question. There's been so many

little things and it's not even Stuff that he's like just that me down and pulled me. It's just that I've kind of picked up playing with him Just how he manages his game around his off-course is it's pretty pretty impressive I mean, I've done that playing with Bill where he just has nothing and Er, I said Jordan's really good at that too. I mean, I remember kind of I said Jordan's really good at that too. I mean, I remember kind of was like 15, 16. We'd have rounds and I mean, I would strike it around and he didn't really seem to have it.

We get done and I'd have a scorecard and we get in the scoring trailer. And Montana do like, Jordan, that's 567. I'm like, you just got 67. I'm like, how the hell did you do that? You know what I mean? So kind of one of those things. And it's not, you know know people look at that like oh

Yeah, like will those just him and it's like no that That's a skill. I mean the shoot undercar and the shoot a lot undercar when you don't have it That is a serious, serious skill and something that can't be taught you just kind of have to learn it and figure it out And that's something that he's really good at. Well along those lines Jason Bozhart said what types of adjustments do you make during eternal mental physical swing thoughts curious to hear the kinds of things that pro golfers process during around and how it compares to the rest of us so kind of I think that's kind of along those lines of what you're saying when it's not there like what what do you actually able to change or

adjustment round yeah I probably think her in some tweak a lot more than the most. I just have always been that way. If I'm, I mean, I remember it at Medina, I mean, as well as I played that week and as well as I shot, I mean, I drove the ball so bad. Like I couldn't, I could not stop hitting this whiteie cut. And I just was like, I'm over it. Like I'm not going to keep doing this. I'm just I'm sick of and you know the first soul I hit it way right and then number three I hit it

right. Number four I hit it way right and I'm just I'm just so stupid. I'm not just going to sit out here and just like if I'm I'm going to try something why would I keep doing it? So you know I'll strengthen my left hand and I'll soften my right elbow because I probably, you know, I have a little bit of an open face and I'm slipping across it. So I hit a good drive on the next one, hit a good drive on the next one, hit a good drive on nine, I'm panced and for me, I'm not going to continue to just go out there and hit it like shit, you know what I mean? I'm not just going to do that. So my dad taught me that the young age,

when you're not playing well, of course you need to figure it out. You need to do something out there to get it in the hole and to get the ball in the fairway or get the ball in the green. And for me, a lot of it is little grip changes or if I feel like I'm starting it left, but hitting it pretty solid,

I'll put it like a little bit back in my stance just to kind of have that face not quite be rotated as much when I hit it, or I feel like I'm wiping it, I'll try to feel like I'm closed up a little bit, or I'll swing an inside a little bit more, or it's curving too much, I'll try to kind of swing a little bit more level for the thing. So it's a lot of little things, and it's very dependent on what I'm doing specifically that day, but no, I am not scared one day to try stuff in the middle of around Alright Jeff his handle is at OZB4IA. That's a lot to a lot of swall there Would JT have any thought of signing up for mini-tour events down in Florida during the break?

signing up for mini-tour events down in Florida during the break. There's a funny day that Rick and I, we talked about it like literally two days after the quarter. So like, we go play some mini-tour events like, well, you know, I could have my girlfriend and his wife come out and they'll bring some sign for us and hear us on and listen to that. But, um, we thought about it, but it's, we kind of felt like more back to come about because, you know, a lot of people are going to probably just give us some grief about it and say that we have no position being there. That's the matter. It would be fun. And I mean, for us to be something to play in, I mean, the same thing is us going out and getting, you know, eight, 12 guys and going and just have a big money game. Not to be can obviously do that now, but just beginning we could. So it is something that we talked about,

but I think it got, it kind of got full size pretty quickly. Well, here's a question I've always kind of wondered. And I'm curious to get your answer. It's a tough one for you to answer because you can't brag on yourself too much on this. But let's lift you currently your current game and let's say you're gonna play a full season on the Corn Fairy this year.

If you were to estimate how many events do you think you would win? We've had this argument about a bunch of different tours before and it's always interesting. It is because it's like, I don't know. I mean, I think that I have the capability to win 10 times on the feed, it's more so like that and I win 10 times on the, you know what I'm saying? So it's people come through the corn fairy to get on tour.

So I mean, I still, that's the play really well to go out there and win. I still would have to not be, you know, I'm talking, I can go out there and screw around as far as I can every 10. Like, I'm going to miss some cuts about you that, especially out there. I mean, I feel like you almost, not play better, but you definitely have to be more on because you, you're a good chance you're gonna have to shoot 18 and 25 under to win. So, it's not like you can go out and kind of fake it

and just kind of skank it around and not your irons great, you know, chip it whatever, kind of make a little bit of plus and no, next thing you know, you're 20 to under, you win by four, it's like, that's not, it's not all that work. So, I mean, I think, you know, I think a good season out on the corn fair for me, I'd be, you know, a multi one season.

Yeah, I think I could, like I said, I think I could win five to 10 times, but if I won two or three times, I mean, that'd be pretty impressive. Yeah, I just think it, it's very, like if you put, if you sent Mike Trout down to play AA ball, like he's gonna hit like 450, you know what I mean? And I don't think it's very, like if you put, if you sent Mike Trout down to play double A ball, like he's gonna hit like 450, you know what I mean? And I don't think it translates nearly the same way in golf, just because of the odds of having to beat an entire field. And I think it'd be fascinating kind of experiment to see, because I just don't, I don't think anyone on the PGA tour

would go down and straight dominate, you know what I mean? Just kind of, that's not, yeah, it's just not the way, not the way golf. I don't think anyone on the PGA tour would go down and straight dominate. You know what I mean? Just kind of. Absolutely not. Yeah, it's just not the way. They're probably a handful of people just because of intimidation factor. I mean, I think that, you know, I'm accomplished and I've done well, but, you know, I'm not walking around there and people are looking at me like, oh crap, here comes this, you know, this massive

5 foot 10, 150 pound dude. We better watch over him. You know what I'm saying? I wouldn't think they're too intimidated by me, but you throw a tiger out there and it's a little different story before just going to be a little scared of them, but I agree. It is tough because it's a very, very interesting argument because I can go out and play with my body who stopped playing professional golf two years ago because he couldn't make it and he can beat me on any given day. But again, if you if you go have a pitcher that stops hitting three years ago because he wasn't good enough and you go have like you said, Mike Trowel, say BP off him, he's going to just mash him. So it's quite a interesting thing. Yep. A couple more here and we're going to get you out of here. But Edmack 2020 and if

we can't, it's probably going to be hard for you to list these. So the first ones that come to mind for you, I think, is probably the best way to answer this. But your top three most memorable shots you've had to date in your career. I would say the three wood, the US Open and Aaron Hill on 18 on Saturday the seven iron on 17 at PGA in Sunday and then for me the putt is present cup. That's what he nominated. He was going to guess your whole out at WGC Mexico your your president's cup bunker shot at Liberty and then the final putt to win the president's cup match for his three guesses. So Yeah, I mean if I were to one tournament in Mexico, I would definitely say that, but

I lost all. I can't really. I can't really say that. Justin Martell, what is the most afraid you've ever been standing over a single shot and what's your general approach to fear during performance? That's a good question. I mean, scared is so different than nervous. I'm trying to think of legitimately being scared over something.

I don't know, man. I just try to tell myself that I've done it and that I just need to play my game and, you know, if it works out great, if it doesn't, it doesn't there's there's nothing you can do it's not like you just push my all perfect I'm not nervous anymore you know what I mean it just doesn't I'm forced like it doesn't work like that I don't know I can't think of something where I'm like really really scared you know what I mean I mean I was I

don't know why I was really nervous the next show this year on the final round the first couple holes I just was was very jittery I couldn't know why I was really nervous the next day I was here on the final round of the first couple holes. I just was very jittery. I couldn't, I was hitting it very well. I didn't have a good warm up and like I couldn't get into the flow of things and I was very, very nervous. It's unfortunately kind of wore off when I was a little bit behind and then I can never get going. But I can't think of anything. There's nothing comes to mind where I like have a specific shot and I'm like, oh yeah, I was terrified. I mean that thing'm think sort of sort of thing. Yeah. I'm all yana, Quentino.

Were you in or out on the Olympics this year? Had they happened? And a 1000. I had a feeling that was case. And then last one, we get you get you out on this. Corey Moss 7. How many course records do you have? Hmm.

I have no idea. You know what I think, Sony? Or, well, YLIA? YLIA? Yeah, I think 59 probably. Probably fits. Probably. I would think Aaron Hill.

I don't have Mexican anymore. Thank you, John Rom. I had it at my home course. I don't know if I still do. In Louisville. If you go play somewhere and you're about to set the course record, do you ever do the like the, hey, who has the course record? And if it's a local pro, do you do botched the last, now you try to break it?

No, I just don't have, I never shoot like 63. I'm like, hey guys, what is it? No, no, no, the other way, some guys will say, they'll butcher the last hole to make sure they don't break the course record. Oh, no, no, if I can break it on the break, I have absolutely zero qualms about that. Oh, I guess it's in the downhide, I do. There too.

Okay. No, no, maybe four or five, something like that, but that may be a good activity to do during quarantine. Go and add up all the course records you have. Wait, hold on, let me make sure I get some time. That may be a good activity to do during quarantine. Go and add up all the course records you have. Hold on. Let me let me make sure I get some time. I can do that. Well, all right, man, I appreciate you coming on. This is again, thanks to all the listeners with other questions.
