I'm going to be the right club today. Yes! That is better than most. I'm not in. That is better than most. Better than most. James, welcome back off. Big Randy is here, no nap today, one nap today. A little bit of a nap today, Namaste. Good to be here. TC is here. We're vibing, baby, straight vibing.

Young at Carito is here. I'm itching to hit the air horn. You're not driving the ship anymore. I know. You took over the, I'm glaring at that button. You got to hit the air horn. Can you give me an air horn? Not right now, at some point.

At some point, at some point. That's all I'm looking for. I'm going to ask for it. I'm going to use it to cut you off. Oh, you surprised me. I'm going to ask for it. I'm going to ask for it. I'm going to ask for it. Surprise me. I'm going to use it to cut you out. Cool.

Before we get going, we know Calloway is known for innovation technology here. Let's talk about things in our reads, like finding new ways to remove unnecessary weight, incorporating carbon fiber, developing more precise ways to manufacture. So it's no wonder that the Hyper Light Zero Golf Bag is a game changer.

I bet you guys didn't think I was talking about a golf bag Did you did you I thought it was made a Gary Woodland thing, but removing unnecessary weight I like that or also maybe a pricing thing I've got one sitting downstairs can't wait to put it in play It is got carbon fiber legs weighs in less than three pounds the hyper light, again, weighs less than one pair of shoes, two bottles of water or three golf clubs. The new OptiFit strap system used a closed cell phone pads to conform to the shape of your shoulders, ensuring comfort.

So the only thing you have to worry about coming up the 18th fairway is your score. So if you carry a bag and if you're looking for something lightweight, comfortable, that doesn't sacrifice storage and durability, the only choice is the new Callaway Hyper Light Zero Bag. Check it out at CallawayGolf.com to learn more. Ready to talk Schwab? Schwab, what a golf tournament. Close cell. No mitochondria.

What? What? Talking about the close cell strap system. Mar of my bad joke. Bad joke. I've heard you talk like close sell. And we're off and running here on Sunday evening from the kill house.

I thought you talked about the closed environment. I was like, well, were there really no fans there? I wasn't sure if we were updated on that at any point. So I'll give you a take. I found it to be kind of a heartbreaking finish. Exciting but heartbreaking. What were your heart broken about? Huff lip outs.

Just T-U-F-F tough lip outs. And you know know I was pulling for Xander. It's tough to see him. He seemed you know he's struggling to close and I can relate to that. And so I was invested in in that more Kawas seems like he might be developing some scar tissue. Randy's elegant chap is maybe maybe he's going to be struggling with some demons. So I thought it was very interesting. That's that's what we bring you in for to bring in bring bring these things in. You know, demons. I know about demons. And I saw some out there.

They brother, I saw something in those guys that I've experienced myself. How about Bryce and talking about, uh, with Jim in the post-round back and forth there, talking about going long on. He said it was, it was what happened. It was a six-eyed. No, he said he couldn't control it. He's like, it just can't control those. It's like, it went 10 yards further than I was expecting to.

I can relate to that too. I went long and left. Some of those jump on you. He also, he's been pumping iron. He also gave us, it couldn't make any puts. He did say that. He said, if he made any puts, he would have run away with it. I kind of liked the post-round interview. I did too. I thought, Nance, any puts, he would have run away with it. I kind of liked the post-round interview.

I did too. I thought, Nance, actually, we're gonna get to coverage stuff, maybe I think we're gonna do a abbreviated coverage section later, but. We're gonna co-operate. We're gonna core-tide it. I was just gonna say, I think Nance did a good job. Well, we were talking about this.

I kind of got to, having them face and straight on in the camera was almost, what's like, they weren't distracted by. There's no way to hide. Worrying about, like, sometimes I worry those guys are gonna remember, name, you know, having them face and straight on in the camera was almost what's like they weren't distracted by worrying about like sometimes I worry those guys are going to remember name you know, it's like they just kind of run up on them and they're like hey tell me about your round and it feels more personal it does it feels like you have your undivided attention not just like a weirdo there's something scientific I think to look in and someone's eyes when they're talking right at you yeah you're right that did sound like a weirdo they're never talking right into the camera and here they are talking right here. So I know I'm saying. That's why it's why you think it was more personal

Because you're looking right in their eyes. Yeah. All right. I guess we'll leave the confessional to Amsterdam. Yeah, because I can't talk about the confessional. I'm in on the confessional Well, why don't we do one more thing that will shout out is that what happened in the playoff, complete silence over the player caddy conversation for Daniel Berger's shot end up being kind of inconsequential, but I loved it. They, you know, Berger's trying to like convince himself that there's some hurt and his caddy over says like, no, there's no hurt. And then he's like, it's a perfect whatever they hit. He hits a shot. It air mails the green and you see the flag is blowing down. So they got the wind wrong. But like, as a viewer, you would have never known they got the wind wrong until but they cut us in on that conversation. body was so apologetic because she jumped in and comfortable to the high. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I was rolling with an iron fist. I don't think it's great to see. I bet you didn't think we'd start with praise for CBS, but it seemed to be in line. And don't get used to it. I ask you guys a question. Open any question. Please, how do you feel about DB? Straight away. I think the whole thing is how do you feel about DB? Because you love very specific takes. I just, I don't know why. I have no point of reference for this take.

He reminds me the guy from the Alabama leprechaun video. He just seems like extremely happy, go lucky. Just always, the guy in the blue hat just always kinda like, I don't know why things are going so well man, but I love my life is kind of the vibe that you like to see the leprechaun say yeah, I just I'm a huge favor that guy you get it from Daniel burger I don't know why I can't I can't put my finger on it, but that has always collared my my picture of him. I really like watching I respect the heck out of the fact that I think he's got a whole fleet

of straight-vibon boats now really yeah think he's got a whole fleet of straight, viven boats now. Really? Yeah, he's got like two or three boats that are all straight, viven ones, straight, viven two, straight, viven three. And all like this little seafoam green color. I got 12 gennays.

That's good. That's good. The fact that his social media handles are DB straight viven. Only his Instagram, not his Twitter. See, I get a very disinterested vibe, I get a good way from him, like I just don't have to do any of the bullshit. I'm not gonna fake anything here.

Yeah, no, I just wanna be on my boat and fish. And like, yeah, this is so sick, man, I make all the money from doing this and yeah, if I won or lost, like, out of that's cool, whatever. He is the guy that the cowboy people always cite, that's like, oh man, just give me the clubs and I'll use them. I don't want any other stuff is.

I'd say this, I appreciate, like sincere emotion. Like he was, you know, he was real. Back from the wilderness. Yeah, exactly, which is awesome. And I'm like excited to see that, you know, that, it's me that feels a little bit. I'm like excited to see that, you know, like, it's me that feels a little bit. I would say his Geico commercials,

I've taken them down at the end of your Geico. Geico, when he pulls up with the caveman. That's a great question. And then, you know, let's keep it to the coverage. It's a great experience, all right? Those commercials piss me off. So that's kind of an X in the box a little bit. But I never got, it's basically a Callaway commercial.

Like they give Callaway a ton of run in the front of the English marketing. That Geico commercial. Yeah, but it's just, you know, bad acting all the way around. He's felt like, but he's kind of like, he's probably, yeah, sure, I'll do it, you know, like whatever. I always felt like the whole upbringing thing and being the range rat down in Palm Beach. I always felt like that was a little overboard. Well, I think about when I think about burger, I realize my kind of a fault with myself and maybe the most people in the golf media of not like being able. And it's really hard because you never know what a player, how much like struggles are tied to injury, right?

Even if a player is healthy, quote, unquote, they're still struggling with some kind of recovery from injury. So how much weight do you put into how bad his wrist injury was? And I've probably not done enough research on what it was, but clearly, the talent is still there. And I think we can always just kind of assume when guy not always kind of assume, but when guys get hurt,

sometimes you just think, oh yeah, he kind of lost it. And you're not really paying enough attention. Like, no, dude, I'm not healthy. I can't practice. I can't be myself right now. There's no, someone correct me if I'm wrong on this with other sports, but I mean, there's no injury report in golf. Right. I mean, there's like up to the

player. It's basically like if they don't tweet something, nobody's going to find out about it. If they don't WD from a tournament, nobody's going to find out about it. There's no coach that's like reporting like no, his hamstrings. I'll fucked up this. Even with burger, I will say, I mean, we call it the wilderness or whatever, but in 2018, 20 events played missed four cuts. 2019, 25 events played, miss six cuts. Has it missed a cut this year? It has three top 10s. So the wilderness is is relative, right?

It's definitely relative. And to that point, too, like when someone like a Daniel Burger drops off the top scene, you don't really think about them. Like you just, there's too many good plays. Yes. Well, that was today. So I saw the stats, we talked about it on the live shows, what 20, now 28 rounds, par are better.

And it's like, man, this guy's playing awesome golf. I dedicated all of my attention today to watching pretty much everybody but him. And I don't think, I think they showed him, right? Like it was like, okay, he's in the mix, but I just personally was like invested in all these other guys. And then he just kind of swooped in and still, they're the tournament part of that. Like there's, there's only so much

tension to go around. Yeah. Right. Like it's not that against him. It's not that it could have just as easily been like Zander could have kind of been that person too with all the big names that were up there. Yeah. But it just happened to be burger well rounded game this week. 31st strokes gained off the T 10th stroke scheme approaching the green 31 around it and 11th and putting. So you don win the the Kyle Porter Memorial Memphis WGC twice back to back without being a stud. Same week is this week which actually that was kind of wild. That's not that in June 11th June 12th and June 14th or his three PGA tour was the I do that I don't say it's like his swing is jarring for me. It is awesome. It's awesome, but it's

jar. It's very jar. It's like surprised me every time. I'm like, yeah, this guy, he's got a weird. Whoa. I know it's coming, but it's still surprising. Like the takeaway kind of looks like DJ a little bit. And then he just fires the hips and the shoulders. You're like, whoa, it's great. That's what I think we always say. Like, you know, give us a unique swing. Yeah, we do say that a lot. So that's a check box in the column. Randy, what do you got? How you feeling about DB Strait 5?

He's, uh, I really don't have anything to add. That you guys haven't covered. Yeah. Well, all right. I'll ask you this. Let me ask you this. When did you think he was going to win the tournament? Because I had no part of any time today.

Did I actually think he was going to win the tournament? I had no part of any time today did I actually think He was gonna win the tournament literally when he birdie 18. Yeah, yeah, even in the playoffs. I yeah, I don't know I will say this DJ we're watching it together DJ was on the record is being like oh This is gonna come down a more common missing a putt and he did he kind of kind of it was like three times You missed a new kid early shout out if I if I could shout out to the guys on the PJ toward radio. I had a long drive earlier in the week. It was listening to a ton of those guys. Everybody seems to be coming around.

It's already specifically the chief Dennis Paulsen was just given so good like great intel on all these guys. He was descriptive stuff. He was here raging on more cow is putting like the whole week. He's like, everybody wants to talk about how got, like how great this guy hits them all. He does, but his putter has been atrocious. We need to talk about this blah, blah, blah. And like sure enough, which like, let's keep the world

perspective needs to know. He was 25th this week in Stroke's game putting. Like he gained strokes on his putting. He's not a record miss to and it totally it was back. Like he was still in the he was 17th today. Like yeah, I've got the end. I of course, I said to you last year in Reno though,

like, I'll turn him into he won. I was like, like, I do not feel comfortable watching him put. Like his his hands just look like they're so, like they're not even gripping the club. And it's almost so which is usually a compliment for putters. I know. I don't know why it's almost so. Which is usually a compliment for putters. I know. I don't know why it's like no pressure. It's like he's trying so hard to be relaxed with it

that it feels mechanical. I think it can be, I don't think he's an exceptional putter by any means, but I think he's just, he looks very much like Rory to me. An incredible ball striker. And you look like you treat the putting aspect of the game separately than the rest of the game. And it feels that way.

Now, Rory has improved his putting a lot over the last couple of years, but that's just kind of how it feels to me. It's, I don't think it's like a huge liability for him. He's just not great at it. There's gotta be something going on with that cup too, right? That was great.

Well, listen, could we make just a quick and smooth transition of Rory What happened Randy would you like to lead us? Hi guys, he's I don't know why I need to lead this. He's dead He's not an out he's not an alpha. I think I don't know if anybody wants to join me there Well, we were saying I think Alan ship now tweeted like I'd love to see this 41 on the front nine like Alan Shippnut tweeted like, I'd love to see this 41 on the front nine. Like maybe a 30 second highlight reel. Like I would as a golf fan, as a someone prone to blowing up, I'd love to relate to that.

I'd love to see it. I don't want to celebrate someone's failures, but I was curious what the world number one is doing. The world number one just shuts six over on the front nine when everybody else is going very low and it wasn't. Yeah, it was not set up tough. You said, I missed the opening couple holes. Did he, you said he was Shank adjacent?

Here's what I believe happened. Woo! I don't, I didn't, I actually missed it too, but the reports were that it was semi-shank. I'm being told, I'm being told. Can I, there was one thing with Morakawa that if you allow me to, please, yeah, to go back. I wanted a quick tangent. I don't, like, he made that absolute bomb on 14, which is going to help like crazy in

the Strokes game. I think where that stat loses a little of its lustre for me is it doesn't like it takes the whole Accounting into focus right rightly which that's this you know, it's what it's trying to do but There's something that it's not getting when you don't feel confident with them over a five foot put especially when he has to have it shout out to CBS for having good camera angles on this He'd really tried to miss out on 17 to yes, Yes. And it was, they were not good strokes. And I don't know if that's far be it for me to diagnose, you know, one of the best players in the world's putting efforts,

but I don't know if it's nerves. I don't know if it's the stroke. I don't know what it is, but it was clear watching him when he turned to the back nine, it was like, yo, this is not going to go. We can say the same thing like speech putting stats are off the charts. And off the charts and then he four ponds and then he misses a one of one foot 11 inch putt today.

Like that's, but it's a clear ability to make puts that are against all odds, which is value. Like it's. So to your point on star scene putting and I guess the Randy's point to it's like, is he going to be, you know, a top 10 top 15 top 20 player in the world on average? Definitely. But like, is he going to make it, you know, a top 10 top 15 top 20 player in the world on average, definitely. But like, is he going to make it, you know, and, and is he going to, to your point, Neil, of sweeping comment, but I'm down for it. Is he going to have scar tissue?

No. I will. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think so. Season season long stat 2020 PGA tour season stats. Colomore Kyle is 174th in stroke. Skate putting, which is four tenths of a shot, like below, maybe not at 2020 PGA Tour season stats, Colin Moricaw is 174th in Stroke's game putting. Which is four tenths of a shot, like below.

Maybe not a scar tissue. And maybe it's something that he's not, I don't wanna say so poor at, but he's poor enough at that he can get some big gains in it. If he just puts some work in. And I think too, like just taking Paulson off the radio, like when there's that much smoke around an issue, like people don't just say that without it actually

being an issue. Where I, maybe I'm a little bit more. As someone who's been, as someone who issue, like people don't just say that without it actually being an issue Where I maybe as someone who's been as someone who knows As someone who knows yeah, like ready. This is firsthand insight from someone who's been there like for a kid That's 23 to have that reputation It's there's got to be fire and I think what sucks and what is wildly unfair But when we go back to this basically being an entertainment product It just kind of comes with the territory is there was a lot of people watching today There's a lot of people watching golf come back and there's a lot of people who are gonna be like, oh yeah that more cow a guy like I saw him

Yeah, you can't putt. It's kind of like he's gonna. He's gonna be asked about it by they go Have a different crop of local sports writers every week where they go and like I hope it's not the one thing where people are like Oh, that guy. Yeah, he hits his iron's grape and he can't putt well So because then it starts to become like a cell. Well, I hope it's not the one thing where people are like, oh, like, yeah, he hits his iron's grape and he can't put it. Well, so, because then it starts to become like a sellout. Well, I hope it doesn't become that because I don't think that necessarily is the case. Also, he,

how many are interested that at least that's on the table? Because before this, I was like, he's like super polished. It's a interesting storyline. He's super polished and like, I don't really feel all that much when I watch him other than he's just like flushes it. So he had two missed puts today,

or two holes today where he he played it in more than a half shot negative strokes game putting. So basically his missed put on 12 was he lost a full shot to the field putting on the 12th hole. He lost points, he 0.69 strokes on the 18th green by missing that five footer. First of all, nice. Yeah. So yes, for for round four, his play, he gained on the field today on the green. What about the playoff? He did, he missed him very short putt. Was that not included in the staff? Yeah.

I mean, the extreme example of that is it goes from, you know, what we're talking about with Mikkelson on a podcast last month where it's like, we're not talking about how close he's hitting it to the whole. We're talking about like, God, this guy always misses the story. It's the it with the hole. We're talking about like, God, this guy always misses the first. It's the eye test. And for me, like that, like DJ said, and I don't want to air you out because you were right on this, but like you said, like, he's going to miss this putt. I felt it too.

The last one. Yeah. And he said in the playoff. DJ said on the 14 too. Yeah, he's like, dude, he's not looking good. Like he's going to miss it. And so then when they show the close up of the putt that he missed in the playoff, like that, the face was, yeah, that didn't look good. He's going to make it. Well, and so then when they show the close up of the putt that he missed in the playoff,

like that the face was. Yeah, that didn't look good. It was wide. Like I that's that's what my putting struggled for. All right, before we were these young, he's, you know, he hasn't done this a lot, but well, there was some people that were sending in some screenshots of some money that they may have had on the line with with Mr. Makawa. Several that had had burger as well. I feel responsible for that. Yeah, TC you did. You did.

You were riding pretty hard for them, but you didn't put you didn't put anything behind them. But I did say nobody's mentioned Morakawa here yet. Yeah, that's ridiculous.

We had some winners in some bets this week as well. We did. I'm out of that and I were in the cashier. I was very disappointed that the sportsbook betting was not open in Florida when I thought Speed was going to win because we were riding for him so hard and then I was very thankful.

It's a rubber degree. You know that it wasn't. So, no, we were hot on the props though. We did hit the prop. Jordan Spieth, Jordan Spieth, low UT player as well. We cashed that one. Imaginary. I had JT post in top 10.

I had to remind you on that one. I think you got, I think you actually, you have to, you don't get full payout. He's T 10, which I don't think you get a full, really? In the past, I've fell victim to that. You get like a percentage of like a shared 10. So we may have to check it.

Let me have to. Five guys tied for 10. That'll hurt. That may, that may be the rub of the group. Speed. Sung J JT and Patrick Rogers. That's like the those are like the best players in the world.

All right. Well, where do you guys want to go next? We haven't really talked much about Xander, Speed or Bryson. Those are the three that I'm the top of mind to burn on. Who's got the let's talk Xander? Because I feel like we're going to just go past it. Sun on.

Yeah. I think when Xander hit it in the water on 15, which great hole, that was jarring. Yeah, I didn't see that coming. Just it was out of nowhere that it was, he put the left miss in place. Tip at the long left miss in play. He hadn't really missed a ton basically all day.

I thought he was in the driver's seat at that point. I thought somebody's going to like 17. I didn't really think it was gonna to be the playoff that it was. Neil was talking about Xander a lot this week in that I think Neil, you're going through kind of a personal revelation that you are a Xander guy. Yes. And I was trying to empathize with that,

sympathize with that, trying to understand how you were feeling. And I was kind of saying like, you know, I think that he just needs, this is very selfish of me, but I'm like, man, I need him to, I need to see him just like slam the door more because I'm not really feeling it right now. And in my head, I'm like, okay, this is going to be the one. There's going to be this mega stack field. He's going to just blow everybody's doors off coming in and, and, you know, maybe this will be another point in the W column. And then, but this almost makes it better for me because

the, yeah, I'm intrigued. One, I love watching hit the golf ball. Beautiful swing. I sense in his interviews and just the way he carries himself, I think that he's a thoughtful guy. Like, that's a total just perception of what, you know, I don't know that, but he seems like there's a lot, there's a lot there. And to see him struggle to close, I can relate to that.

And then it'll make it that much sweeter when hopefully he runs away with something, right? Then he combines like, he's not a killer yet. Not a killer. That's what I'm getting at. He's not a killer. He's not a killer dog. He's definitely a dog guy. I think he's 100% a killer. I can't avoid him when dog.

Yeah, like he's in the mix in some big moments. But he's just really struggling to close the door. Just to be clear, four PGA tour wins. He's 26 years old. That's what's some big ones. Torch and P chips. And then the masters last year was like, when I was like, man, this guy just looks comfy

until literally until the very, very end, like all the way through the first half of the back now, you're like, man, he's in total control. And even that putty rolled in on 16. 16, I mean, he was like, oh, God, here it comes. After the bogey. So it's like you know, almost one of those things where you know the guy can do it, right?

Like I am like dude, you can do this where there's some guys that you're like, I don't know if you can do this. I mean, he made bogey from 145 yards on 15 and 136 yards on 17. That's tough. Well, let's just wait till we get your more speech and talk about where he made. Oh god. The inner was the same way at century though this year. on 17. That's tough. Well, let's just wait till we get your more speech and talk about where he made it. Oh, God. The inner was the same way at century, though, this year.

Well, that's always JT. They were just trying to give each other like you take it. No, you take it. Guys, this used to be called the crown plaza. The complete crowning. Crown plaza. They got, they got gusts it on. They, yes, they did.

All right, we're ready for speed. What the fuck was that? I mean I was anybody not expecting to see some fireworks there though like it was going to be interesting one way or not. I ask you guys this overall positive or negative week for speed positive positive. I'll say this you guys are like geek to be jumping on the cocaine train of

rooting for speed. I can't do it. You don't reach speed. No, I do, but I just can't do. I really can't do it. Earlier this week, Randy called him still the best player in the world right now. Well, he is, but not early this week last night. No, he for sure is. But what I'm saying is, I spent 25 years living this reality week to week with Phil Mickelson. Like, I just, I don't have the energy. I can't do it all again for another 25 years. So what was your week like then?

With speed? With a silver emotionally distant from it? Or did you? Yeah, I just have to remove myself from it. That's why, like, if he chooses to win on a given week, he will win. Obviously, he recused himself today. But I can't I can't jump in and I can't I can't be a part of this this train ride. I think it's a negative week for him. And I root for

spieth not as hard as you boys, but the reason is the the plethora of misses is so across the spectrum. Honestly, it's close. I mean, it's close. It's blocked. It's like behind the trees. He has all the shots. Yeah, like he, I mean, and you know, and then he gets out of trouble,

which is, but it's like how exhausting is that for a golf? Like there's just no, absolutely no rhythm to his game. Where he'll just, you know, microwave himself into four birdies and then he'll just emulate. It's unbelievable. I mean, watch. If it was one, what I'm getting at is if it was one thing, if he was just struck like when Tiger is struggling off the tee, it's like, dude, if he just fixes the one thing, it's like, no, the next hole, it's like, dude, he flubbed the chip. Well, I think this is the

best and worst part about it is that the, like, the optimists would look at this week and they'd like, gosh, if he could just, if he could clean up the, the flood chip and the, the couple loose drives four, four, four, four, four, four clean up the, the floodship and the, the, the couple loose drives. Four putty, four putty. And the four putty, like we would be, like he literally would have won. He would have been right there. And the pessimist would look at it and be like,

God, if he didn't make like three, 40 footers. Yeah, he would have been out to see. You guys are trying to like, you guys are signing up to like love and addict, right? Like you, you, you, it's so easy to talk yourself into, well, you know, God, you're just always seeing the bright side of things. Like when he blocked it into the apartments off for like after missing a 30 footer and a couple of it on after missing three, like that is Michelson.

It was one foot 11. Somebody was saying, what would have happened if the people in the apartments threw the ball back? Maybe we would have sat on TV, but nobody like nobody would have known otherwise. Exactly. They didn't show it on TV. Yeah. And there's no fans. Like, let us have this. Let's start like playing that kind of game. Ranny, I'm on, I'm on your block, man. I don't know if I can, I just, I just, I can't invest myself week to week in that. I just can't for my own well being. I enjoy watching it. I don't know if I can, I don't know if I can ride my problem with. I need to feel something. I get it. I don't know if I can, I don't know if I can ride. My problem was, I need to feel something. I get it.

Yeah, I get it. My problem was all the bogies with wedges in your hands. Oh, dude, so, yeah, that's not a good sign. So we're less. Yesterday to today. Many of them. Or the practice, the brain stuff, when he can't pull the trigger for, like, he re-grip like 35 times.

You know, it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. He missed, was it two, the last two greens whoa. He missed, uh, was it to the last two greens to end the day or last, he missed five straight greens between yesterday and today four of them with wedges. And he, and then he birdied the next hole and played it with that stretch one underbar. And then he goes out and birdies like like five yesterday. He birdies five. I feel like he birdied four and five. I feel like he birdied four and five like a number of times. Yeah. And it's like what? Like four twits back. That's going on, dude.

Like like, do you know the other holes are too easy? Yeah. Here's what's not sustainable. The trailer needs to get his ass in there. And where is trailer? Oh, can we talk about that? What do you mean?

Let me put a pin in that right now because trailer had the quote of the week. Did you guys not hear this? On number five. I know you have that. Jordan, yanks it. Left next to homeboys plaque down in the ravine and he's thinking about like I think I can get to the green or something.

And I hope I don't mess up the quote, but Jordan said something like I think I got this shot. And Grelar said, yeah, I know you do, but right now it's not the time. And he punched out and gets up to the green and gets something down for easy comfy five. It's like I wish you guys well. I am so excited to see how excited you guys are. As you, you know, venture out on this journey, but it's a good for week to week. No excitement. 100%. I want to speak.

I want them on the leaderboard Thursday and Friday. I mean, and then yeah, it's like just, like can't wait to watch it. But, you know, are you in a positive this week? This was not the sign we were looking for. It's not because he was lost strokes approaching the green. He played right into the stats

that we were talking about all week. He's not all the way back yet, but I think there were a lot of good signs that you could see. Where, especially with, it's good to see that driving iron back in the bag and hitting the shit out of that. Yeah, right? Hey, duck hooked. I almost hit it OB-05, which that was that when he birdied four, I was like, here we go. And then this, that is the, like the ride that Big Randy's talking about on the, you gotta, you are, it is gonna be a long ride.

And if you hate the first 30 seconds of it, you're still fast, fast into that rollercoaster for the next like 28 minutes. Here's the thing, you're still, you're still right or die for Michaels. I know. I can only love one addict in my life. You just can't, you can't, you can't spread yourself that thin, you'll, you'll drive yourself crazy. He was number one in Stroke's Game putting, which is like the most, the most like jarring thing that is about the week is like that.

All right, we did that wasn't the sign we're looking for. We know we can roll it still, but like we need to see you hit it better than that. If we're taking positive, he was, he was first in stroke game putting with the four putt and with the short, like missed one footer today,

like three 40 footers. That's insane. Yes. He can fill it up. It's a question for you. To me, it looks like he's his left arm is straightening, like it's getting. Yes. He can fill in a question for you. To me, it looks like his left arm is straightening. Like it's getting straighter. Today, anybody else has noticed that at all? His swing honestly looks really good.

I always remember, he got the broken elbow, not broken, but like it's been... You think about the fall through the chicken wing. Chicken wing fall through. No, on the back swing, right at the top. And now, I've found it looks a lot strainer than it has in the past. It looked honest like the tea ball we hit off one, I think on Friday was just kind of like he piped it. And it was like that looked like the dude. Like that was the swing.

And I don't think it's physical. I don't think it's mechanical. I think it's straight between the years. He doesn't look. He drove it awesome. On Thursday. That's the scariest part. I will tell you that.

So, like, we talked about JT. Sure. Thoughts. I, I, I, maybe this is reserved more for hamster Dan, but I don't really have much, I don't, I didn't really see a lot for, I don't know. It's just off the judge, I don't know what to say. It's developing situation.

The guy can't win a full field event. And this wasn't a full field event. Well, I mean, this was, this was about, this was pretty close. It was pretty close to a full field event. And this wasn't a full field event. Well, I mean, this was this was about. This was pretty close. I was close to a full field event. I mean, guys, Keith Clearwater was in the field. Yeah, I'd say it was pretty stacked with all kinds of players. I thought, honestly, I thought JT looked really good.

Like, looked very, like in rhythm and confident. And I just, I don't know what happened. I wish I could speak to it. He finished T10. He shot one over today. 64, 68, 66, 71. He looked like the guy of all the bunched, kind of, bunched leaderboard. He looked like the guy that was in most control. I thought he was going to steamroll everybody today.

Yeah. I was expecting tonight to be like, yeah, like, you know what? Gosh, we should've seen that coming. Yeah. Jake, he wanted it running away. He didn't put it great today. He lost almost four shots to the field and putting today. But he seconded in the field and approached the green.

Is that bad? He would have won if they had raised cups because he was burning a ton of edges in the very beginning. So that's a sick take. Can you talk about co-crack? No, we're not moving on. We got to get in the next one. Oh, like, I will say on JT, we can't speak to too muchcrack? No, we're not moving on. We gotta get in the line. We gotta get in the line.

I will say on JT, we can't speak to too much because like you said, we didn't see. Awesome to see people like JT and people like Rory in the field. We were talking about that this week. We have not gotten to see that very much. Well, it was thrilling. In Bryson, of course, is the best example of this,

but it was thrilling to see so many different styles. Well, I was telling DJ, I had a, like, an idea where if you could mix up, like, if every year the PJ tour took like the West Coast swing and those five or six tournaments, they just randomized the order of them every year. So the players had to mix their schedule. They then every year the schedule became like a strategy.

Like not only that, but also gave, like, all right, you win the West Coast swing, you win 10 million dollars. Like the Ray Floyd bonus. Like in 83 or something like that, Ray Floyd, the sponsors of the Florida swing put up a $250,000 bonus if you won two of the events. And like the first place prize was like 60 grand.

And if you won, you won 250, if you won two of them, Ray Floyd did it, which was sick. Well, just anything to incentivize these guys, anything to break the monotony of this a little bit of the year, like the guys now have these schedules locked in where, you know, I'm going to skip Valspar or whatever tournament they get comfy with their, you know, year to year process.

And it's like, no, throw a curveball at them, like what COVID's done, where now they're all playing a course like colonial and heritage, which is like, we've been dying to see these guys play at these places. Yeah, towards very, very, very bad at like getting guys to like getting most of the best players in the world together at the same tournament. Which to the point of the colonial speed can do his thing at a place like colonial and survive and make a bunch of puts and finish 10th, you do that at like a 7600 yard course where you're in the rough. And in the open at TPC Twin Cities.

Check it out guys. We're going to Heritage next week. Yeah. Hell yeah. So well, I'm saying I keep that you many. Call your reason fly Randy. We'll run it in the back next week. All right. Can we do Bryson? Please. Hell yeah. So we can do Bryson.

DJ, would you like to, uh, I mean you're pet, he was your pick to win. Would you like to say anything? I would like to say that he played great and he should have won. And like he said, if he would have made a couple more plots, he would have won. I thought it was absolutely, I thought he dragged his nuts on everybody's face. Especially like, yeah, I think everybody, including all of us, have been doing nothing but making fun of him and his videos and this, I mean, this is a ginormous choice.

This is an awesome idea. Fucking over. Putting on 65 pounds or 40 pounds or whatever it is to bomb it over trees, and then he came out and bombed it over all these trees. I don't think anyone was, like we're making fun of the whole process, but no one is saying it was like a bad move

to get super long at golf. I don't think anybody's that this is terrible for you. No, I just think it's interesting. Yeah, I, I, on, one I'm on the record saying he wasn't gonna win this week, so I'm, yeah. You know, you're really close to the sun.

That's the, that's the ultimate thing. He, and he didn't, and I'm, hell yes. It's either MC hard or, as close as possible. Yeah, and he's gonna pay off in the short term. And I'm hell yes, it's either MC hard or yeah, it's closest. Yeah, and he's gonna pay off in the short term. But like, I think he's gonna get hurt. I really, I mean, I don't, I don't know. I just can't, the way he's swinging the club,

I DJ made a video. He looks like the guy from the 1945's like, oh, look at him fresh in the ball, champ, champ. Like, it's unbelievable. I got an honest question for you. Yeah, because we've heard, I think we've heard, you know, I don't know if Bryce and like loves golf, right? So from I hate it.

Yeah, from a perspective of, but he loves Mr. Hogan. Can you, can you love Mr. Hogan and hate golf? I'm not sure, I'm not sure if Mr. Hogan loved golf. I'm just kidding. I see it as, you know, he's maximizing maybe the next eight years. And I feel like I get hurt after that. Cool.

I'll win a bunch of big tournaments. I'll make more money than I can ever spend in my life. And I'll see you guys later. And I'm, I, he's made that, I think it's, that's a fair choice to make. I, I guess I, I said on Twitter today, I was like, you have the announcers talking the exact same way about two players and they're strengthening conditioning.

You have Gary Woodland who's lost 25 pounds in the last three months and then they're like, oh, Gary Woodland, he's feeling a lot stronger. He's ready to, he's done this because it's going to make him more durable for the next 10 weeks. And then you'll clip a Bryson. He's gained, you know, 30 pounds because he wants to get longer at golf, but he's feeling a lot stronger. So it's like, they're saying the same thing. But which the Bryson thing that just blows my mind is he says the bulking up is not where he gets his speed from.

That's like, what are they doing? Exactly. And it's like, if he does this and wins a major and wins four more tournaments this year, it's like sure that paid off But I guess my argument is wouldn't he have he won the USA and he won the NCAA champion Like he already had the pedigree to do that without the extra 60 pounds, right? Like I don't think the extra 30 yards off the tee Does he need it? You had you had me into the last part risking an injury risking like Literally tearing and like tendons and ligaments.

I just don't. I see, I feel the opposite of where like, if you're gonna, if you already have that pedigree, it's like, all right, cool. Like, I'm gonna totally reinvent the game here. Why wouldn't I do that? He's the only dude that can do this is my thing. That's my thing.

Okay. But how I feel is like, why wouldn't we just lean into all the weightlifting stuff? Like, no shit, that's where you're getting your speed. Like, why would you say that's not a good thing? Can I ask a dumb physics question because I was not the best physics person. Maybe, don't ask Bryson.

Is it speed with the new mass, right? Like, are those the variables? Like, you don't need 120 pound guys swings it, you know, 120 miles per hour compared to like a 350 pound guy swinging 120 miles per hour. Wouldn't there be more? Same thing. So the force doesn't matter.

I may be fractionally, but if the ball is taking off at the same speed, you're not like upping your smash factor in this situation that you're saying. So what is he attributing the speed to? I don't know. That is where it might be bullshit. I mean, I'm sure there is an un-element of strength training and speed training that has gone into increasing his swing speed.

I don't think the huge biceps and huge lats are the same thing. You know, I think that, you know what I mean? I just, huge biceps and huge lats. Like, it looks like he's, like, he said earlier this week, he's been having six or seven protein shakes a day. Like, he looks like he's like he said earlier this week he's been having six or seven protein shakes a day. Like he looks like he's having six or seven. He looks like the muscle for a bookie.

He's a beef cake and Philadelphia. He's a bachelor's beef cake. I don't I don't know. I I I am so impressed. There's also I think there's some exhaust like so when you try to gain that much weight, that's one thing. But to keep it on. Yes. There's an exhaustion, but to keep it on. Yes. There's an exhaustion to drinking six protein shakes today.

And then going after you plug off, like he has to go work out tomorrow. And when you're not in your own way, that is not like, that's exhausting. It's not like a road. He's not in your own way. Yeah, exactly. I just don't know if you can sustain that. And then that's when an injury happens. Sure.

Or it's like, now he's adjusted his swing to this new body type that's unsustainable and then what happens when like, the mask goes away, he's like, now it just seems unnecessary. I think he'll, I think he'll, the mask will come down. I think he's still gonna, he has made a conscious decision to I'm gonna hit it as far as possible. I think he's gonna figure out a way to do that. It doesn't include, he just complete, you know,

I may have lived to regret this quote because I think his plan is to get bigger, but I think he will get to the point because there's three things that you touched on a couple of them there. One, keeping your weight up for the entire week, walking 95 degree heat days. What, with like different times a day where you're, you know, cats deep on this block. Yes, you can't fluctuate 10 pounds in turn of it. When your tea times are different times a day, you can't keep the same routine. Your body's going to feel different every single day. That's one, that's a pounds of tournament. When your T times are different times a day, you can't keep the same routine. Your body's gonna feel different every single day. That's one, that's a couple of things.

And the third one being is, what does that do to your putting touch? Like does this putting touch look good? No, that's what it looks good. That's what it looks good. It never looks good. I know, that's the thing. It was a shitty putter to begin with.

Guess where he is, season long putting stat. Tell us. 22nd. He was 41st this week, but. And he looked like shit on Saturday and Sunday. But so his decision, what he has realized here is the game of golf can just be bludgeoned. And I'm basically the only guy that is capable

of making a full transition to just make a conscious decision to hit 30 yards first. I would say, but I would say, I'm a gals. I would also say willing. Yes. Yeah. I don't, I don't think anyone can do it this smoothly. I don't think Brooks could say, Hey, I'm going to decide to hit it 30 yards for. Yeah. So do you think his, like the one plane swing lens itself better to that then potentially? I just think he honestly has an unbelievable ability to do things differently and make adjustments

that I know we make fun of a lot of the fun stuff, but he has a formula. Like he knows what he's doing. I'll give him credit for two things. One, he's committed to it. Like he truly believes he's doing the right, like what's right for him. And that's not a thing.

Yo, I commend you. Like you're, you are sold on it, right? I'm not sold on it, but he is. So more power to you. And two, like you just said, to come out, you know, and just like execute the game plan, the first tournament back is impressive. I think, but he didn't win. I would say he probably looks at this week as a positive still.

Oh, I think he definitely does. Stroke's gained day by day off the tee. One, one, four, four. Overall, first in stroke scheme off the tee. Just decided to become the greatest driver off the tee. One, one, four, four, overall first in Stroke's Game off the tee. Just decided to become the greatest driver in the world. Can we talk about the ways, like he looks like a 15-honey cap, though. On his fault for his.

I mean, it's like, it is, it's, like, it's unsettling. It's unsettling, it's a good word for it. It's so awesome. Yeah, it's fun, it is fun. Everything about it, so I will say that too. It's fun to watch. So, so, so, Paul and I string a little bit farther.

He's, he's 66 this season in approach. Stroke's game. Okay. So that seems like once he gets that dialed in, then it's like, all right, cool game over. A lot of fuckers. He was seventh this week. Check seven. This is going to be and it's not all going to be colonial, but how many times did he have 99 yards in? Check this out.

One thing I want to follow this season, this is going to sound stupid, is if his par three scoring goes way up, because it's like the only time he's going to have to hit irons into holes. Like that's got to be so weird when you go six straight holes and you have a hit, you haven't hit an iron shot. And then all of a sudden it's like, oh, you got a, you know, 235 yard get this though. On into the fan. All of his irons are the same like. And his wedges. I'm not joking. I forgot about that until this.

I was like, oh, that's great. Give us so much more content. He had a good question. Like, is this a lob wedge? Like the same length as the six iron guys. I did touch shots. My hitters on that. It's probably a two radio word.

Bad hit most that. DJ had a crazy hit part. Love a couple Saturday. That's the knock. Up around the green, he was, he lost strokes, lost a stroke and I have to the field around the group. 17 today, he was, that was Love a couple Saturday. That's the knock up around the green. He was, he lost stroke, lost his stroke and I have to the field around the green. 17 today he was, that was not a great shot.

The craziest part statistically with that is he's, in the hundreds or even 200s and a lot of the approach categories from 150 to 175, he's 52nd, 175 to 218th. Man. So maybe he's accounted for that. He's 50 second 175 to 218. Man, I don't know. So maybe he's accounted for that. I got to say, like, I think that was a fascinating conversation you guys just had. And I think there's a lot to pull on.

But I think I'm with you, Randy, like on the macro level, I'm just glad he's doing it. Like it makes me so much more locked into what's going on. And I'm not almost needed to see what happens. I want to say that I'm not on the block of like getting more distances and helpful. Like I really clearly is. I'm on the block of like I think he's going to wear himself out. And that's going to be the problem. I do. Of course. Yeah. It's just it's the wear and tear for real. Like you go like trying to gain weight playing football. It's like you won. You lose it all season. So it's hard to keep on. And to it, you just, there's like also a, um, personal element, you just kind of feel like shit. Like you just, he's feeling himself, I think. I know for now.

I mean, yeah. Well, that's, you know, every guy goes through like the, I want to get swole at some point in their life. And he seems to be going through that now. But at some point, you're like, man, actually, you know what? My body feels like crappy, like my joints hurt. And, um, and he, and they, they're walking so much like it can't be comfortable out there. Gary Woodland is a very good athlete who hits the ball a long, long, long ways. And he's got a lot down. I'm cocking it. Decided to, you know, drop 25 pounds. So I think that's a, that's a very interesting. But it's not an apples, apples thing because he's a lot older. So bulking's a young man. That isn't apples. So like that's your whole point is like, dude,

eventually this is gonna, well yeah, okay. It's gonna come back the other way, right? I think it has to. Bottom line, I just, like, I respect Bryson for doing all this stuff, entertaining to watch and all that. Like, I can't fucking stand him. I think he's, I think he's the worst.

I've come so forceful circle that I can't stand him so much that I enjoy. I'm like, this is, I don't root against him. It's like performance art. Yeah. Which is good's the worst. I've come so forceful circle that I can't stand him so much that I enjoy. I'm like, this is, I don't root against it. It's like performance art. Yeah. Which is good for the game. Which is fun. Which is fun.

I just find anything this week like off putting about it. Think about it. This is the most engaging conversation we've had about a golfer. He's the best that I can remember. Yeah. I thought it was good for us. It's good for us. It's fun.

It's drive the golf ball. So that's true. I only only saw a bunch of par three shots. We on Sunday, we are, I think what we see one drive from rice into that. Yeah, not many. We're not. I thought his interview afterwards was very. Yeah, level headed. Yeah, I was trying to show us by. No, that was projection by all the haters and losers. Two final things here. One, not only was he hitting it really far, I was super impressed with the accuracy.

Like just like, when you're coming into fairways that are not straight in front of you, like you are cutting a dog leg, you have to get the distance and the line right and he was doing that all week. Like what are you doing on 14 this week? Burdy three times by hitting it like 320 or between 320 and 340 every single day

and knocking it stiff. Secondly, I've made the case that like, I don't think it's that fun to watch guys bomb it off. Secondly, I've made the case that like I don't think it's that fun to watch guys bomb it off the team just like DJ Rory kept. I just don't like it translate. I don't think it translates that good to TV. I totally disagree with Bryson. I think that is the only thing I want to watch is like watching. But that's because he's swinging as hard as he is. He's also hitting a 20 20 30. Exactly. It is entertaining to watch someone swing as hard as the fucking.

I will also say so with Bryson, I'm very, very, very impressed with a lot of these half wedges that he's hitting and like like 75 or 1 o'clock system. I don't know if you knew that. It's all like a 7 o'clock 8 o'clock. But it's it's basically how I feel going out and playing like a 5700 yard like Uni course where You bet you've got these awkward shots over Misplaced bunkers to firm greens and like you're playing from where nobody else plays from and it's and and Bryson Seems to be mastering that like he seems to be like leaning leaning into that embrace. Those are hard shots to hit.

Very T.C. I have one thing to come. Sorry. No, please. You use the present tense there. And I don't know if that how accurate that is. You know, it's how you used to feel playing these courses. How I used to feel. Before I switched to that hit. Yeah, I'm a left-handed ball.

Go on that, the cup. I think to your point, Sally, on why it's fun to watch, it's the Bubba syndrome, where it's like, the person who's nuking the ball has to be an outlier of some sort. And I think it's why I never, we've said this a hundred times on this pod, but I have never been thrilled by watching Jason Day

mash the ball, because I'm like, whatever. Now it feels like you're just ruining golf. You guys are just, you know, now you're spiking the football. But watching Dustin, it's like, ah, that's really fun. Watching Rory, that's really fun. And then watch Jason Cocrack match it, not fun. But finally, we can talk about third track. Well, I will say, I think this is a just an absolute stain

on governing bodies of golf for like letting it, letting this be possible. Like, this is ridiculous. This is so dumb. Do you think this is Bryson getting back at the USGA for suggesting that he doesn't put sides out anymore? Oh, really? Okay, fine, I'll do something else.

Somebody suggested that if they roll back the distant stuff that it would just be like a slap in the face to Bryson. It's like, no, he'd still be hit if their equipment rolled back for everybody. He'd still be hitting farther than everybody. Like he'd still have the advantage. I don't care how far the ball goes, make the ball spin again, then Bryson's off the planet.

That would be really entertaining. Are you gonna talk about Coke rack? What do you wanna say? Well, I mean, he finished one back. Like, how crazy would that be? That was impossible. He got 65, 64 this weekend. So three better than McKenzie huge

How how shitty would that have been if Jason co-crack won this weekend? That was that was definitely a threat to our way of life return to golf Jason co-crack meet our new comes out of nowhere Yeah, that would have been that would have been tough. No offense to him. I don't know him at all Maybe he's a great card player. Maybe he's a great guy. We'll get to that. I don't have any other thoughts on Jason Kochak. Justin Rose finished one back. That was wild. That is a guy who will never get dropped from coverage.

Like they will see. He won't go away. I think the last show I thought he was going to win. He looks like he might have been designed in the the class act test tube. Yeah. He's the classiest act that there is. He's so solid.

Harold Varner had a great first couple rounds did not finish well. I think he finished T19. How many points? 72 to the. 72 today. Yeah. Which I was really intrigued. They didn't really set it up very well.

He had mentioned this on Friday, like after the round about how he, he's like, I learned a ton from Riff and Riff was a story this year. He had a top off the 10th tee while leading the tournament going to the back nine which feels like forever ago which we didn't see right well I believe that is the case but um so it you know did he learn from it we'll see I think that he is primed for a lot of good things this season. Put yourself in position yeah I love it I'm rooting hard form. That's awesome. I felt like he had to be pretty exhausted. Yeah. Like, you know, I mean, he had great things to say.

He was super cogent. It was a refreshing voice to hear and everything. But they trotted him out left and right for two weeks straight. So I feel like that had to have taken a toll at some point. That's a very stressful thing to have to speak on constantly, wherever you go. And he did it very deftly and did a really good job. But that's an exhausting thing when you're constantly trying to say the right thing and trying

to speak for a bunch of people that you're not sure if you're supposed to be speaking for or what you're supposed to be saying or all these things. I mean, I cannot imagine what just what was going on in his head the last few weeks. And so to come out and where he's 63, 66 or something in the first two rounds, including a triple, I mean, it's unbelievable. All the props to him. Triple the first hole, all the props to him this week. I was very ready.

We've got to say this one in the drafts, but I'm ready to tweet if if he would have won that of the of the three black guys on tour, the only one that wouldn't have won this season would have been Tiger Woods. He's also maybe if he would have won that of the of the three black guys on tour the only one that wouldn't have won this season would have been Tiger Woods. He's those out maybe if he would have if that this season. Yeah. I never. I didn't delete it. Delete tweet. There's a lot guys too, right?

The is brand. It's got full status. Got status, but he just got pushed down. Okay. I thought I heard it. Shout out to him. He was one of the corn for the two or two. Yeah.

Had some like great post round things to say and stuff as well. It's Very glad I didn't get that Nike sponsors all four black guys on tour That's great about that. All right. Are we ready to do hamster damn? Let's go. Please What do we got? Let's explain. Can you explain what hamster damn can you explain what we're about to do? We have dedicated, you know, we've heard your feedback. Listen, we, actually, we don't really hear that much.

We are going to limit our coverage talk to a 60 second segment, where we all get, well, everybody, it was 100 seconds. Okay, everybody gets 20 seconds. I'm keeping the time. All right, well, to talk about the coverage, you don't want to hear it. You get just, it's like, it. And I just fast forward right now, but I am kind of new. I'm newly radicalized guys. I had your time starts now. I had a tough time. I just can't I can't get in a flow. It's like they just there's no, uh, there's

no cohesion to the broad time or seconds. And, uh, you know, I law them for trying to say they're doing good stuff but they're they're fixing the sprained ankle when there's like pancreatic you're done um it was a complete disgrace today I can't believe how bracing we all this bracing talk that we just talked about for this long they showed them did not show him hit a driver the entire day it is unexplainable I don't know how it keeps happening it it can't be that hard to keep track

of one of the top players in the game that is in contention, almost one of the golf tournament. And I can't, it had nothing to do with COVID, boom. I've been saying the same thing for two years. It was exactly like every other Sunday. I don't know what you guys are talking about. This is what we see every single week. Welcome to the party pal.

I will say that I give them credit for trying to lay out on the caddy conversations. They made a very labor intensive effort to do that and it paid off. So, do those to them on that. I'm yielding my time back to the tron. It's all right. So I have 40 seconds. First of all, I want to congratulate Lance Barrow on his last colonial.

He started broadcasting. I believe in 1977. So that's, that's what? That's 40 1977 or 1970, 1977. You better speed it up. It's 43 years what that's 40 1977 or 1970. 1977 better speed it up. It's 43 years. I have 40 seconds. Yeah, 43 years and it hasn't gotten better in any of those 43 years. It was a disgrace. The way that they use the eye on golf thing to load in more commercials is insane to me. And the fact that like, it's not a structural issue anymore,

it's just the fact that like, and time, like guys, that's it. You just don't show enough golf shots. You lost the plot today, we didn't see speed. Senator, you're gone. It's up. Thank you. Oh, yes.

Can I say a bipartisan non- non opinionated thing about commercials? Sure. I think that there was a lot more going on behind the scenes. It felt like a lot more commercials to me today. It always feels like a lot of commercials, but it did feel like a lot more. And I will say I think they laid out on a lot of the stupid fluff shit that we always make fun of. It felt like a lot less like, you know, I always pick on a on risk reward stuff. I didn't see one of those. I think they laid a lot of that, you know, I always pick on a on risk reward stuff. I didn't see one of those. I think they laid a lot of that fluff stuff out.

I think they did it to get more commercials in because I think a lot, a lot, a lot of people like brands and, and spending agencies and brands aren't people. Brands aren't people. You're right. A lot of agencies had spent, had spent money to, like, since United had spent money on, since United, had spent money on uh, do you want 20 seconds on that?

Can I, I would like to reclaim my 20 seconds? I think a lot of brands that spent money already on sporting events that got canceled and got that money back. And I think they were trying to get it in before their fiscal year ended. So I think golf, one of the only thing that's going on, I think there was a lot of weird commercials that you don't usually see this week. And Harry is just going to be worse. And I think it's going of the only things that's going on, I think there was a lot of weird commercials that you don't usually see this week.

And Heritage is gonna be worse. And I think it's gonna be the same thing until July. I liked one of the commercials, that was pretty. That was, that was, it was a bit awkward, would be a deal we're literally complaining about the commercials and we looked up and it was the no leg up commercial. I wanna be very clear about the coverage takes

that almost, I think it's safely say, none of the feedback has anything to do with any of the Operator the limits of the operation due to due to the Dalbat crew. I I think that has that's not what we're about really I think I found out nancing was totally fine. It's been better. Yeah, it seems like he seems like he's got it kind of shine a little bit Exactly a pros pro. Yeah, like the inner you were talking about with the interviews. I think did a great job with the interview and I'll I will say one good thing I'm in on the Confessionals it was really fucking stupid. Yeah, just but yeah, at least come on break up the monotony a little I don't show the golf for a little bit. Don't break up the monotony. What should we say about about the whole the whole microphone thing? About the players? Yeah.

Because it did, did Nancy lie there? Was it, was it a like, Nancy lied people died. I think that a, a request went out, either from CBS to the tour that said, we will have any players that want to be mic'd up. We'll have them. And they displayed that on Saturday

as saying, we asked everyone in the field, and only Ricky Fowler said, yes, I think they meant like, well, none of the top guys wanted to do it. And Adam Hadam volunteered and McKenzie Hughes volunteered, but we didn't really want to do that. So the Hay Canadian's apparently that might be the case. But Adam Hadam came out and said that he had volunteered. And we heard a couple other, you know, rumors that guys had volunteered to do it. And it just didn't work. I don't know why I didn't work out, but it was not a correct claim to say that. I'd like you to lay out your whole platform as far as microphones. That's what I'm in the process of doing. Two things. One, Kudos to Ricky Fowler. I greatly immensely enjoyed

him being mic'd up on Thursday. I thought it was awesome to hear his shot decisions. I thought he had like some some weird drops and stuff. He was trying to talk through like that stuff as a only golf sickos are watching the coverage on Thursday afternoon. So I think that stuff's catnip. So Kudos to him. So the TIO relief, which is bullshit. Two, I think we need to rebrand this whole conversation. Instead of Mike, the players, I think it's we just need to hear more player, caddy conversations.

I think any player who is nervous about being miced, listen, we're, Neil, we're living in its cancel culture right now. No one wants to get hopmiked. And no one wants to say the wrong thing. No one wants to feel like they need to be funny for five hours. Let me assuage that right now. All we want to hear is the player, caddy conversation. I don't want to hear what you're talking about between shots. I don't want to hear you yucking it up with the boys, walking down the fairway. Don't need to hear any of that. All I need is like, why did you hit eight instead of nine? Where are you trying to win through your process? Where are you trying to land it? What do you think the wind is doing? Give me context to like a, get me on the hook for like, okay,

he's really, this is what he's trying to do. Is he going to pull it off or not? Like that makes me so much more invested in the golf shots. And two, like, make me a smarter golf fan, like help me understand why do people, you know, in this situation, why do people take an extra club? Why do they take less club? Like, it's just in so investing in your product and like making people smarter as they're less club? Like, it's just so investing in your product and like making people smarter as they're watching. And three, I'd like to thank you for coming with me to help.

You're in less faldo. And that as well. Because like the more they talk, the less faldo has to talk. It's amazing. I think Neil said this while we watched a lot of golf together this week. If you ever are really like breaking down what they're saying,

it's amazing how much it doesn't need to be said It's all it's all just filler stuff and that's where it's like do just Give me ambient noise or give me like non-stop Player-cadi conversations. It's all it's all no if he's dial or not I can see the graphics on the screen. I can see what's going on. It's a very visual media. Should we talk fans? Yeah, real quick on that one thing I played with a problem with Adam Hadwin like three years ago and before he goes to hit one of his shots, his caddy goes 12 and 30 and I had absolutely no idea what that meant. I was like, what is that? He's like, oh, 112 front, 130 pin. That's all the two numbers you need to tell your player for an approach shot. And I have seen approach shots completely different since then. Now I understand why guys just want to know the front number

and how many paces on it is, where they want to land it and things like that. And that is exactly what you're talking about being a smarter golf fan is that's the exact kind of thing we need. It's, yeah, I don't know how that isn't such a black and white thing. And so maybe that means clipping a, you know,

clipping a little boom mic onto the bag. If people are worried about the wires, if people are worried about the wires, if people are worried about... Or getting a boom really up in there close. Like, I don't know, Fox obviously did the stuff with the mics in the cup, which was cool. I like to hear on the putting green because obviously you're not gonna have a boom mic

up there with them on the putting green. It's amazing how hard people were willing to go out of the way to miss the point on the mics. Like with the mics in the cup, you're like, oh, I hated that. I hated that sound. It's like, they actually got rid of the sound when it goes in the cup. The point is to hear the audio on the green. And so I'm with the players. If they're saying, like, listen, this is,

I don't want to do it. It's like, cool. That's totally your right. But you also, listen, you need to respect my sacred right to say, this is really boring. And I don't care who wins. And I'm going to go outside and read a book because I don't need to say this is really boring and I don't care who wins and I'm going to go outside and read a book because I don't need to watch this. Cause I think we missed the, uh, the quarantine of the coverage takes. That was, that's not even CBS specific though. Well, these were for it. We're not going to, we're not poor. We're, we're trying to flatten the curve. We're not trying to, it was really interesting though. It seemed like Nance was going after

the tour a little bit and saying, Hey, you know, the players, this is a chance to invest in your product. And this is a chance to really, you know, help us out. We're, we're paying you guys several billion dollars over the next 10 years. And we're at a hand-type hunter back this week. Like give us some help. Yeah. Yeah. And, and just basically saying fuck you to the players. Something got miscommunicated along the way. Like I refused to believe that one player in the field was willing to do that. Which to be candid, if what it's gonna take

to shake some stuff up is like mass communication, like mass miscommunication and like infighting between the tour and the networks and the players. Like yeah, that's fine, let's just air it out. Let's get those guys going at each other's throats to try to get some answers. And DJ my take is like, it's also convoluted and fucked at this point. And like, just bring on the PGL. Who owns the audio three letters PGL? Who owns the audio? Like, who owns the playing space for audio? Like, if a broadcast

partner insisted on like, like I'm thinking the NFL, right, or an NBA game. The NFL players can't like refuse to allow the broadcasters to like, mic the court, right? Like they, they don't. The NFL has, has an entire show on NFL network every, every week called sound effects. Right.

That they basically show and it's produced and everything like that. But you could easily do that with the PGA tour and it's out of context. It means more with the tour to have it in context. But at the same time, the tour could do all this stuff with Rory's implosion today. Cool. You know what? I'm more keen to see Rory's 41 shots on the front nine that I am of his back nine at any of his victories.

What I would love you. Yeah. That's, that's a pessimistic, but sick take that I can get down with what here, a free idea. What what I would watch every single day, because I think it would help you learn the golf course. I think it would help immensely on a number of different things is my couple player or a bag or get a boom mic on somebody for their, for their for their whole round doesn't even have to be someone in contention just anybody and just edit down their round at afterwards into like a speed round like and put that even put on YouTube doesn't have to be on golf channel. It doesn't have to be part of the broadcast. There's 50,000 other commitments that they have to do on the broadcast. Just start small.

Just do something like just just if everybody agrees that this is an issue which clearly they do or Nancy wouldn't have aired everybody out during the broadcast, just take a small step. But like going to Justin Thomas and saying, like, hey, we need you to wear a mic while you're in contention. Nobody's ever done this before, but if you could do that, that'd be great. Yeah, he's not gonna do that.

Cause like, why would he? But start small and prove that this is not an issue and just make it more regular and make it more of a normal thing. And that's the way forward, I think. They started small with clearly laying out for the combos, which is amazing. I don't know what's the most likely,

is literally the least you can do. Yes, it is. But let's celebrate it and encourage more of it. Yeah. Because they're listening. So, you know what, the last thing on this, I'm sorry. What's the stronger one? They're listening, but they're not here.

They're hearing, but they're not listening. Okay. I think that's right. I want to give, I was talking to Sean Zahak of golf.com about this earlier and he had a point that kind of blew my mind a little bit. It's like, if you're really trying to get people to know these guys and get like these guys more identities and whatever. He's like, he was talking about how Sutton. And he's like every, everybody in our generation

that thinks how Sutton is this like swashbuckling gangster because one boom mic happened to be in the play right place at the right time and no commentator was talking over it. And we got be the right club today. And like extrapolate that out to every single week on the PJ tour. All these moments that we've completely missed. Sony, like when he hit that through it, oh my God, that's so good. That's like much lesser extent.

Yeah. For me, that's what I was like, oh, that's like, who is that guy? That's awesome. I have, sorry. What's a player on the map that you never heard of? He's not getting it. We can move on, but I do think there's

an interesting conversation to be had though about, like if players are worried about being canceled or something, it's like, wait a second. Like, what are you guys talking about anyway? That's another 10 like NBA players are under that same scrutiny. And I felt like, wait, what? Why are you guys having this? You're playing for $10 million a week. This is like a public event. I was that, I don't think they should have this tight.

I was rattled at how many people were like, yeah, someone makes like a racist joke or something. They don't want that picked out. You know what, hey, have you guys been paying attention to anything that's been said over the last three weeks? Like maybe we should air those guys out a little bit. That's what I was protecting that. Yeah, and people are, yeah, sponsors will drop them all.

That's like, dude, sponsors say for this exposure for their players. There's another one that's like, oh, well, you know, these caddies, you can't ask them to be mic'd up. They're not even getting paid. But dude, give the caddy $50,000 a day for all I care. Like sell the, sell the sponsorship for the year and boom, the player gets 25 grand if you wear the mic

and the caddy gets 10. You could do a mic, like a bonus. You could do, a mic, you could do, there's another one on Twitter. Someone said if you wear a mic every day, you sell a mega sponsorship. If someone shoots 59 with a mic on, they get a $10 million bonus. Yeah, listen, we gotta be creative. I wish somebody could just like, get that through, like, no, we're gonna do this. Like that's what's frustrating. And right now, my point is like if you guys want to keep clinging to, you know,

well, they're just not comfortable doing it. It's like cool. Like I don't have to watch it. How are you not getting that? This is not entertaining. And so I'm going to just go do something else, probably. Like, oh, yeah, I don't know. It's time to move on.

What? Yeah, it's half-send and was a object failure. That wasn't just about CVS though. That was my point. We're talking about the future of the game here. Golf coverage in general. Do we have pretty much everything covered from colonial? I think so.

The only thing I'll say is there's a lot of talk before the tournament of, man, it's going to be awesome to watch these guys like shape shots and hit it left and right. You know, the worst thing at colonial is a straight ball. That was, that was all kind of bullshit. I regret saying week, looking ahead heritage. I think that actually is the case. I regret saying that drivers, the colonial neutralizes driver, because I don't really think it does.

I think there's certain holes that you can just bully it. Obviously, it's kind of, some of it's kind of sad to watch like some of these last bastions of like a true golfer, you know, true players course, just just get like take into its knees by They need to put in Bermuda green. You know, I want to I want to say again welcome to the resistance. Yeah Like like the fact that they think it's this we've lost it. We're on the edge. Here's Wonderwall We came down to Neptune and got radical. Yeah, we're on the edge for about 10 years And the fact of colonial thinks it's this really high-minded, you know,

uh, Ushua thing to have, uh, bent greens that you have to just douse with water every day during the summer. That's a hotter shit down in Fort Worth. Like guys get with it. It's a very unnecessary throwback status symbol to have, to have, to have bankers. Yeah. But then someone like, oh my gosh, it's the fabric of the club, right?

Like it's such a, there's like five old dudes at the club who, who who were basically riding for that and then everybody then someone like, oh my gosh, it's the fabric of the club, right? Like it's such a there's like five old dudes at the club Who who who are basically riding for that and then everybody else is like do like Gil Hans came in said you should put Ben Greens or you've put For me to greens from you to greens and it would make the course lot better like If Gil Hans comes in and says that you do it. All right. We're gonna debut a couple new segments on today's show Which it tonight's show which is the first one is the you hate to see it in moment of the week. And we're going to kick it to big Randy first. Yeah, I don't know if you guys, thank you. So I don't know if you guys have a moment. You just got you hate to see it.

I had a couple. My my first runner up was obviously guys hidden wedge and irons off the first T box, warming up for the playoff. Truly hate to truly hate to see that for the supers. But my winner this week was Ricky going bogey double as last two holes to miss the cut on Friday. Truly, you hate to see that. I didn't know what the you hate to see it segment was until now. Now I see what it is. I can go next. I would say it's, you know, Zach Blair, nice enough to come on the live show on Friday after shooting a 65 vibing. Couldn't couldn't have played better.

A bogie free, I think 65 goes out and shoots 77 after the live show the next day. You hate to see that. I have to Brady Schnell in the Cornferi event, birdies 15, birdies 16, and then double 17 to miss the cup by one. Tough seeing after all his comments about VJ and everything else here. You hate to see that? You hate to see that.

You hate to see that. And then also Grayson Murray. Oh, damn it, that was bad. You pick it up. You pick it up. You pick it up. You pick it up. You have the same corn fairy event. Grayson Murray, who I believe was seven over par or something like that.

Dead last, pipe two balls into the water. I believe on the 13th tee and promptly walked off the golf course as was reported by a volunteer. Which is so far from a clubhouse. Very far from the clubhouse. And that is something you most certainly do hate to see. I'm going to give it. It's probably the most obvious moment of the week, but column work out of missing the short putt in the playoff. I think it's off scene. Enjoy out of that. No, you hate to see that. No, you have to see it.

Yeah, like authentically hate to see it. I think you hate to see it, but what do these are authentic or not? So maybe it makes his the rest of his season a little more interesting. But you really hate, you hate to see that. You do hate to see it. All right, who wants to start us with the, uh, rub of the green moment of the week? I'll start, uh, Harold Varner. That was my, that was mine as well.

Is that, uh, there's 10. Yeah, it's 10 on Friday. First hole of the day. I'm on Friday. Yeah. Uh, did not get relieved from, he was on top of the bridge over the hazard, but the bridge was Friday. Yeah. Did not get relief from he was on top of the bridge over the hazard, but the bridge was in the hazard. Did not get relief.

Did not get really triple. And then I actually had to go into tour cast to find out how it, because there was a great natural fall up to that was like, okay, well, how'd you make triple though? That's what I, yeah, everybody kind of dropped. Like how'd you make a trip? Yeah, I read glosses pass out. And so you've been to colonial. There's lots of the low overhanging limbs and and he chipped on him too, but it's a, I mean, that's the rubber green moment of the week for me as well.

I'd say Bryson's flyer into 18, or was it 16, 17? 17, yeah, I mean, rubber the green. Sometimes, you know, you just can't account for those. Can't account for gaining, you know, 30 pounds of mass and catch and flyer. I don't really have one tip of the tongue, but I'll do two half ones if I can.

Colin Lorkow is bounce. He got to get into the fairway on the 18th, on his T-shirt, a very positive rubber-the-green. Jordan's beef, as noted by the broadcasters, hit the flag on the ninth green today, hit the pin, and we didn't see that, but I just wanted to call that out. That's a tough break. That's rubber-the-green, but it rolled further away from him.

You know what, I kind of glummed on the ears, but I'll give another one. Curtis, like made an ace. That's the rubber the green. You know, almost made a second ace. I know, almost made a second ace, which is also the rubber the green. You need to get ripped out. Randy. Uh, I'm kind of scrambling. I of course, you know, Harold has fallen up on the bridges. Some of the most rubber the green you could ever have. So, you know, I think honestly, COVID, just in general, and canceling golf, and now we're back. It might be the mega rubber,

but it's a macro. That's truly a macro. Yeah, I think for our first ever rubber the green segment, I think we need to recognize a real rubber the green situation. Can I ask you guys a question? Is Jim Nance calling out all state instead of Geico? Is that qualified?

I almost nominated that myself. Is that qualified, you think? What happens? Did they get their money back? I feel like I saw more Geico commercials later on and I guarantee you it was. Yeah, through one end. That was tough.

If you didn't see that, it's going to break. The Charles Swab challenge is brought to you by all state. Oh, sorry, I mean Geico. Sorry about that. Remember the green. What One buff is probably pissed. Neil, Neil, any question I have for you, anything, any big takeaways this week, not having grandstands, not having fans. Yeah, I think there was definitely some rubber, the green that was that we were

not able to see from guys getting free drops off of, you know, like, I guess, you know, logistical fences or who knows what, but it was cool to see some of these guys hitting from figuring out what's behind the green. That was that was fun to watch. That was excellent. I agree. Gary Woodland, I forget which hole that was somewhere deep on the back nine there. Air mailed one and had a really tough one. A lot of guys on nine. Brooks on nine. Yeah. I feel like Joel Damon took an hell this week on that. I would know you didn't let me finish. What I was going to say is that was fun to watch. Those guys get

up and down. I'm not suggesting that we do away with grainstands and fans when I'm not either, but I'm just saying they're there. No, I it was fun to watch. TIO relief. I don't believe in doing away with it. I believe in reform. TIO reform. That's my platform where the drop, the free, 150 yards away from the grandstands is absolute bullshit. There should be, you know, you either get two clubs or you take a penalty and you can go, but the rules official should be more like judges

where they come in and they say like, honestly, I think you can probably hit this shot. Yeah, oh yeah. Why don't you just go for it. So anyway. Are you saying the defund hospitality? We can talk about that on the trap draw. All right, are we ready? Final segment of the day, the Sunday,

or let's let's talk first, we have heritage is coming week, I think we touched on that. Oh my God, excited. Special event for the boys. Love heritage. Who are you guys excited to watch it heritage? I mean, shit, Rory, rom, Not the cat. Yeah, the cat RIP Bryson Yeah, I want to watch the bomber try to get around this course, right? And see if they still have an advantage that I mean they hit their irons longer than everybody else too So let's see I was really hoping Tiger would commit and play that's that's a shame, but

Glenday's but we do get Glenday so I I was gonna say that's a good consolation prize. No, anytime you can get JT, Rory, Bryson, to a course in Ricky, like Harbor Town, it's gonna be a lot of fun. Well, I think Honest Abe, it sets up very, very well for Honest Abe. Well, you guys have a trap drop preview coming out probably Tuesday, Wednesday?

Yeah, hopefully Tuesday morning, we're gonna. Uh, very golf adjacent. Yeah, we got a lot of feedback. I think we hit on too much golf in our colonial, uh, for word metroplex, uh, preview. So we're gonna run it back. We're gonna be talking the heritage, but Hilton head and, uh, everything island related in our trap draw preview. Oh, hi, I really, which if people don't know that's the other it. No, laying a podcast. It's the bespoke podcast, our craft podcast. That's right.

Alex Norton in the field next week. Alex Norton was in the field this week too. Really? Quickly becoming the first time. First time hearing of this. We are going to for a final segment here, the Sunday soapbox. You can get up and say whatever you want.

You can shout something out. You can, you can, you can make, technically you could do more coverage takes. Why don't we start with you? Is this timed or is this, are we gonna fill about the proof of this? Keep it in 30 seconds. Yeah, we'll have a wrap up box ready to go.

I am gonna give a shout out to Jason Kochrack. Thank you. I also shout out to Brendan Por Porath, because I would not have seen this without him tweeting it. But do you guys follow Jason Kochrack on Instagram? Absolutely not. I did not either before this, but then I saw him post a very borderline sensual poker photo of him staring directly into the camera. Let's bring this full circle of what it's like to look into someone's

directly in someone's eyes of him holding what into the camera. Let's bring this full circle of what it's like to look into someone's directly in someone's eyes. Uh, of him holding what looks like two cards with his MGM resorts hat on. Uh, and it says all in 2020, my year, my time, my move, I've got pocket aces, pocket kings, and pocket queens. What me playing hashtag try me hashtag life's a gamble hashtag co-crack hashtag pga hashtag played a win hashtag live at mgm at live at mgm I thought that was very you know what I think I'm gonna start hashtag in my own name exactly my own Instagram posts I thought that was that was pretty sick that that really made me connect with him as a hashtag lives a gamble hashtag.

She's doing blown away by having having six hands in your pocket. I'm just that and I think also just like I call. Co-crax. Yeah, I'll call that. I'll take that. I'll take that bet. Randy. Oh, oh, guys, I've been, uh, it's probably needs fleshed out a little bit. I've been kicking it around. But I am, so, guys, I've been, it's probably needs fleshed out a little bit. I've been kicking it around, but I am, um, I, I may as well unveil it here. I'm, I'm working on a new scoring system for the game of golf. I'd like to take it from a truly, you know, cut and dry black and white.

Your scores, your score, I'm working on a new model where perhaps it's a panel of judges. They like a figure skating model. It's a very much resembling Olympic figure skating where five judges will judge your whole by whole score based on the difficulty of your shots, the execution, and of course, you know, we'll drop the best and we'll drop the worst and then we'll average the three middle ones. And I think, you know, I think it could bring a lot of fun back to the game. Are you going to start to mix things up? So I might try. I'm a little bit limited by I can't necessarily see every single shot,

but yeah, I think there might be something there. So basically you get up today. If you made a mega five, you'd get scored higher than if you just made like a comfy five. Well, so to, yeah, a quick example was like, you know, when Rory hits it, 320 and wedges on to 15 feet misses a birdie puttin' taps in for par, like that's a four, but in my book, it's, you know, like the tricky thing is like the lower the number, I guess

is we got to figure out because there's some weird up and down things moving. But I don't think that's in my book that won't be judged as highly as Jordan's beef hitting it, 310 in the fairway, missing a wedge to a diabolical sand, you know, like a downhill, one foot in one foot out and then getting it up and down. Exactly. Yeah. Rainy, this feels like the judges will be looking more favorably on that for. Well, I think it would all net out, right?

Like, Roy would get some points for the drive. Sure. We get some points for the approach, but he goes point for me. I feel like Roy's been being penalized for the drive. This feels like affirmative action for people who can't get off the Bernie. I feel like Roy's been being penalized for the drive. This feels like affirmative action for people who can't get off the tee. No, not necessarily. Because Bryson will get big points off the tee.

Oh, that's exactly exactly. But then, you know, if he's wedging 90 Yarders to 18 feet and making par, listen, we're gonna have to ding that. Bryson's big tee ball is like, he's thrown back-to-back triple axles, right? So he's already been leveled up because he's... That's a, yeah, but I don't think you guys understand how important the triple axle or I think this is gonna Crunch people to loop is to curve the ball to to you know hit different shots to try to impress the judges

That's really good stuff for any thank you. I look forward to hearing more as that I was gonna roast the tour for hanging out all their all their but this is gonna be most underrated part what I could have done and all that I thought about doing this so yeah I did it you shut up I was gonna do that all right like I was gonna say like basically like everybody's donating to charity these corporate sponsors have to net net all these charities up but our persons are gonna be exact same and we're not going to really donate anything to charity Even though we're a 501c3, but I'm not going to do that Matthew wall c4

No, sorry, c6 six sorry, tc But Matthew Wolves planted a harbor town this weekend. I think that's going to be fascinating Awesome Love it. I'd like to make a statement Jimmy Walker Trying to still shaft this week I was intrigued by the experiment. That's official folks, the experiment did not go well.

He hit 14% of his fairways on Friday. Randy, as we know, he's no longer with us. Or it was on the camera. That's just one data point. I think we got to expand. But his driving distance was like 323, which I thought was. We get free.

I was just skewed data, skewed data. Okay, well, it's the only data. I had to go on okay Bad day. There's pretty far. I was curious if it was bad data's worst the steel shaft was a potential solution for me to fix the big right miss But maybe it's just a very shaft. So I'm gonna explore. I'm gonna do some testing I think I'm gonna do PGA tour live radio the Calaway like the fitting guys tomorrow night at 8 p.m I'm just trying to get my driver dial See if I can eliminate the big right miss with a with a better shaft So you are you are not putting the steel shaft in play or you're waiting to hear what they know

I'm gonna try the steel shaft as well. Okay, so I'm gonna try I'm gonna do some testing I see as someone who officially has driver yips. I'm intrigued to hear how that this goes. Oh, keep you posted And who did it? Yeah, I went to a lighter shaft, which is going to have to get nuke, I think. Yeah, it's tough. You put me in the lighter shaft. No, no, I play a 75 to 85 gram shaft. I switched between those two.

We'll have to check the foot. We have it on tape. No, no, no, no, what do you play now? That's right. I put your left. Oh, I'm still playing a 75 gram shaft. Maybe you should be playing like a, you know, like dispersion so much tighter. Anyway, so well, I will, I'll do a full C suite shout out

from the soapbox. Just wanted to, I wanted to, they didn't ask for this. I'm volunteering this. I shout out to Schwab for an awesome week, awesome partner of ours. We regretted that we couldn't be there. We made all of the efforts we could literally couldn't go on site and not allowed. So we had a great week getting back into golf. I thought the tournament delivered. I was really happy they got such a good field. And it was kept people in and out of the golf world entertained. I think this weekend, I don't think it's going to do an amazing number. I think that it was fun to watch golf again on TV. And I'm happy they were able to get this tournament in. They were the brave ones and took the first swing and getting back into it and did it and

it was awesome. It was fun. Here, here. I agree. They got great weather. Yeah. Shout out to D Rock. It all worked.

It worked. I hope it continues to work. So thank you everyone for listening and stay tuned. We'll have a new betting preview video. We'll be out early this next week, and we'll be back. See you again next week. Cheers. It's going to be a right club.

Be the right club today. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That's better than most. How about him? That is better than most. Better than most. How about him? That is better than most.

Better than most.
