Subpar - The Best of Subpar

Episode Date: May 24, 2020

Enjoy your MDW with a special "Best Of" edition of Subpar, featuring all the top moments since our launch in January.

Hey, I'm Chuck. I'm on golf subpar. And when you think of Coat, you definitely think subpar. Hey, I'm on subpar with Coat and Drew. Do you have a favorite story from gambling on the golf course back in the day? Or gambling on anything? I know you used to play pretty good and used to gamble with the boys. I remember, you know, obviously everybody's talking about Michael Jordan right now.

And we were playing golf one day. And we were playing for like, I think, $1,000 a hole. And I was shaking over this put. He said, that's good. It was a good size putt. He said, hey, you might step in my line. That putt good. I said, dude, I'm going to win.

This is a thousand dollar put. He says, pick it up, you're good. And he said, I think, because I don't want you standing in my line. And I want to stand. I was like, oh, how much that put for? He says, 100,000. I said, what? I said, what?

He said, 100,000. I was like, man, that was, I was like, hey, my little thousand don't matter here, right? He's nuts. Oh, he was, you know what? He loves it. And I thought, one thing about that dance thing is I thought, listen, man, everybody likes to gamble, especially if they have money. And I thought it was like people making a big deal out of his gallon, like I told him about my gown. I said, I'm on gamble.

I don't care what the hell any of y'all say. I never been to a casino by myself. You know, I like to drink too. I've never been to a bar and I was the only one there. So other people like to gamble and drink too. So it is what it is, brother. And they're making a huge deal out of that, like on the last dance. Like he's getting crucified for like, oh, I went out and played for 50 grand with, you know, whoever.

I lost 50 grand. Like that's an hour, maybe less, you know what I mean? Like, how is that a big deal? Guys go out and play golf and gamble. A guy's making $50 million a year and he's playing for $10,000, $30,000, $30,000. Like, that technically is a lot of money, but not. somebody who's got two or three hundred million. Yeah.

I mean, so that's like, it was crazy. And like I said, I got nothing but respect for this dude. You can do what he wants to with his money. Remember when Planet Hollywood was the bomb? I remember we had a great party here in Phoenix. And two of the most traumatizing events in my life happened. And so we played a game and they had this big star-studded party at Planet Hollywood. It was right down there on 24th Street right across from the Ritz at the time.

I mean, it was awesome. They were having like these big Hollywood productions like when they were, all the stars came out. So we go there out there again. And I'm sitting, I got my back. And the guy says, hey, Mr. Stallone want to say hello to you. I'm like, oh, my goodness, I can't. Oh, of course I want to meet Rocky.

Of course I want to meet Rocky. That's cool. And I hear me coming and said, Mr. Barclay. And I turned like, oh, I'm going to meet Rocky. I turn around and I look and this dude's like two-two. Two-two. Hey, I said, hey, you Rocky? And I'm like, damn, Rocky, you look so much bigger.

I was telling him to myself in my head. And I was like, and he was awesome. A lot of long was awesome. And I was like, yeah, man. And after he was gone, he was awesome. And then he turned, I was like, gosh, that dude is tiny. So then about an hour later, the guy says, hey, Mr. Schwarzenegger want to say hello to you.

And I'm like, oh, hell yeah, I want to meet the Terminator? This going to be cool. And I hear he comes up, he says, Mr. Barclay. I'm like, uh-oh, Terminator behind me, and I turn around, and this dude like two feet two. I said, hey, hey, what the hell going on in Hollywood? Hey, nobody. I was like, I tell people that story sometimes.

I'm like, I turn around, I see Stallone and Schwarzenegger. I'm thinking like, I'm going to meet big old Rocky and big old Terminator. And both of them dudes, one of them's like five, six, and one's like five, nine. I'm like, damn. There's nothing wrong with that, Charles. I know, but you, if you got, I'm saying, if you're out there killing people and beating up on people, you want to see a big old tough guy. We've got Kevin Streelman. Kevin, welcome to the program.

Cole, it's an honor. Former guests on the program, you're also very good friends with Chicago man, Brian Erlacker. And I got to know, like, this Erlacker, being that you've won twice now with Laird, he look at you and give you shit like, hey, dude, maybe, maybe I'd like the hoisted trophy once or twice in my day. He plays it off like he's fine, not playing it. He wants to cheap day. He has, I guarantee he does.

Like, dude, let me get out there one time. You were actually a big topic of conversation when we had Brian Erla. Yeah, you came up multiple times. It was mostly all good, though. He's a good man. He has a, you have to say that. He's massive. Yeah.

Don't say anything. He cannot say anything bad about him. When you're a good Brian's story? Yes, of course. That's exactly why we're here. So, Ryan's a big prankster. My coach at the time, one of my good friends, Jake Thurm, was so stoked to meet Brian. I was staying with Brian on the BMW up at his house.

It was right across the street from Conway Farm. So Jake's like, man, can't come over at an early tea time. Brian's like, hey, he can spend the night, no problem. So he's, and Brian, I just see it in the back of this, but he's like, what time's he getting here? I'm like, I just had work and he's had dinner with his kids. He's probably getting here on like 9, 9.30. He's like, okay.

Comes out of the back. And you know that water, the water, the water, balloons, like you fill up the deal and there's like a hundred of them that pop out. Like it's, it's like the super water balloon deal. Anyway, you put it on the faucet. You turn it on. All of a sudden, you've got 100 water. A hundred water balloon.

Yeah. It gets his big box, 100 water balloons. He's like, let me know when he gets here. We go up on the roof. He'd never met Jake. Me and Brian and Chappie are sitting on the roof. Like the night before we're playing the BMW Chabbit, and Jake gets out of his car.

And we proceed to pelt him with a hundred water balloon. And Jay, stand on that. What are these children doing? Nice to meet you. So Jake in the back is like, I'm going to get him back. I want to get him back so bad. So we were filming this great show, Driver versus Driver. It's a big show.

I love that show, dude. Smash hit. Wilson. You were unbelievable, dude. Thank you. It was a shining moment. So Brian and I are filming at Cantini, of course I grew up at. And they're bringing him into the show.

He was one of the judges. So Jake had gone to Costco and bought like a, 50 pack of condoms. You can say it on this show. It's perfectly fine. Of protection. Of protection. And Jake proceeds to grab his bag when Brian's like in makeup

and takes it in the back and pulls out all his clubs and puts a Jimmy on every one of his grips and put him back into the back. So a few minutes later Brian's filming and he's like, Brian hit your nine-iron and he pulls out his club and he's like, what the

Jake wins. That's a winner. I don't know what I'm more impressed with that he thought of that, or that you can get a 50 pack of rubbers at Costco. Who's going to Costco? Like, yeah, dude, Bachelor Party this week and got to go to Costco and load up. It could be a busy one. John Daly, welcome to the show, my man.

What's happening, guys? Going back to when you sign with the University of Arkansas out of high school, the golf coach at the time, Steve Lloyd, told you, I believe you need to lose like 60 pounds before you enrolled at Arkansas. And you did it, but you did it in a really unique way. Can you tell us how you got that done? That's a lot of weight to lose as a high school senior coming in college. Well, you know, unfortunately, I mean, too fortunately at a time of my life, coach told me, hey, he was smoking Marlboro lights. I started smoking cigarettes. I started drinking a lot of jack-a-has

and ate dry popcorn lost 63 pounds in less than two and a half months. I wanted to play. So all you ate was dry popcorn? Dry popcorn, yeah. He just had those machines came out. He just made them in your dorm room. Didn't put salt on it or butter or nothing. It was awful. That sounds terrible.

Jack Daniels and dry popcorn, dude, that's it. I'm out on it. That's it. I'm out on that, John. I don't like that. But do you have any kind of relationship with Tiger at all? What was it like back in the 90s when you were playing against Tiger? He was kind of, stand back.

You know, his agent didn't let him just talk to me before do too much. It was tough to get to know Tiger. But I think I met Tiger and his mom and dad, but he was playing the big eye insurance use classic. We were playing a Hogan event in Texas County Country Club, and I got paired with him. And I think the reason he made that comment, because I was playing an 18-match like golf ball

and his Texacanana Country Club. I don't remember what hole it was, but I hit a five-hour from 220 yards or something, and the ball came unwound. And I think that kind of freaky mouth. I thought it was the coolest thing that ever happened, you know, that he's ever seen in golf. That's what he, you know, he told his mom and dad.

But I had to get a rule to this because it just had the little rubber band sitting there on the front of the green. I didn't know what to do. Can I play it? But left me, I got to replace the ball. And I only beat him by three shots that day, y'all. He was only like 13. Hey, it's Pat Perez.

I'm sitting here with Colton Drew. And you're watching golf subpar. I want to talk about another guy that you're close to. I don't know if he's an idol or someone you look up to. I don't know if he's been a positive impact on your career or a detriment. You? Is it you? No, it's not me.

Okay. It might be his dad. Another guy that's absolutely fantastic. You met this guy when you were 16 years old and that's the great John Daly. That it is. So I know you are very close and I mean he is just one of my all-time favorites. By the way, tell us about your relationship with him. I know you met him when you were 16 years old, catting in a pro-am group of his.

Yeah, was catting in a pro-am and the guys, you know, H-I-Ewe just sit out there on the lot. and you'd hope you get somebody and they'd come over and get you and said, oh, we got John Daley there. I go, no, that's unbelievable. Cool. So we get out there and someone tells him that this is before I went, before I went junior world where they said, oh, this kid's pretty good. You know, he plays college golf or high school golf or over here, da, da, da, da.

And he hits it a long way. So, John, you know, we got on 18 north, the old 18 north, and he goes, let's see it. So he was probably, what, 25 yards ahead of us? I was probably, you know, 25 yards ahead of us, and I hit it. I hit it by him about 15 yards. and it was the same swing, long swing, but it was that ultramid driver. His driver? He gave you his driver.

Yeah, he goes hit this. Does that me see you hit? That ultimate driver. Because it was actually, it was, well, it was a year after he won the PGA. This is when he was 92. The dude. This is 92. This is when he is the guy.

She is 30 for 30, by the way. Yes. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. But anyway, so I hit it. I got, that's unbelievable. And then I told him about it. He remembered that story when I got on tour in 2002, which was what?

10 years. eight years later, ten years later, something like that. 92 to 2000. We're not math. Thank God age can do numbers very well. I don't do numbers. We have our producer fact check that, but it feels, yeah, that feels right. But he remembered that because I, you know, when I got my card, I went up to him.

I said, hey, John, it said, it's me. You know, I remember from that. Oh, yeah, brother, what's going? And we've had him ever since. And you're still boys to this day. I talked to me. I talked about Tom. I just sent little John a pair of fives.

The, uh, good. That kid's going to be good. As long as he can. That kid is really good. Keep it together. He's got to keep it together. He's got to keep together. That kid's really good.

But, you know, John's amazing. John's just a big teddy bear. He's got a soft heart for everybody. He wants to help everybody. You know, he's obviously had, you know, a few problems here and there. But, you know, I love the guy. He's like an older brother. But, you know, I talk to him all the time.

And Tony Feeneh, welcome to the program. What's up? Good to have. Thanks for joining us, Tom. Thank you guys. 2019 Masters, you're in the final group with Tiger and Francesco Molinari. Yeah. And obviously, Tiger ends up winning his 15th.

major championship. I want to know what it was like the night before the morning of I want to know everything. What was it like? I mean what was going through here? Obviously a guy you idolized. Yeah. Growing up now you're in the final group with him at the biggest golf tournament in the world. Yeah. Well, take us through it. Yeah. So I shot 64 on Saturday and obviously doing yeah, thanks. I was doing all this media stuff. And I knew the chances of me being in the final group are you know, just in contention going in tomorrow. We're really high. So I was really excited about that. I was playing some good golf. But I dreamed since I was a kid of competing against Tiger,

playing against him in the final group, being paired with him in the final group of a Masters, of a U.S. Open. That's what my dreams were made of as a kid. The putt that I made was to beat him by one, was to go into a playoff. Just all that, right? I was the same kid. So to finally have that opportunity, you know, Saturday night, yeah, of course I was nervous.

But, you know, it didn't feel the way I thought it would on Sunday, just in that we teed off early. And I was more like, man, I earned this. You know, I kind of felt that way more so than in total awe of being in this situation, you know, and I'm happy I felt that way because I think it's not a good feeling to be on the first team thinking, you know, you're fan-girling over Tiger. But I truly felt like, you know, I earned being in that position and I had a great chance to win the Masters.

And that was super exciting to me. But walking to that first tea, I've never heard this many people in my life. I've never seen this many people. And it was kind of a surreal feeling getting to that first tee. You know, the first tee shot, I was definitely nervous. But once it came out to clothe face, I felt a lot better and was able to par the first few holes and just get underway. But those type of experiences are things, you know, for me you can't pay for, those type of experiences.

I was the first guy to congratulate Tiger on winning the green jacket. Man, actually a funny story I'll tell you guys. I'll share with you about that 2019 Masters. So on the first hole, all three of us say hi, good luck. And nothing was said. On the second hole, Tiger hit it left. You know, it wasn't close to me. I was in the fairway.

Third hole, I went for it. They laid back, didn't talk to him. Fourth hole is the par three, no talking. We finally get to the seventh hole, and Tiger and I are walking next to each other off the T. and I said, hey, Tiger, you know, it's kind of awkward. I'm like, how come he's not talking to me? Maybe I should say something to him. So I'm like, hey, Tiger, how's the kids?

And he's like, oh, they're doing fine. And he just laser-eyed straight down the fairway and just kept on walking. And from that point on, I said, well, I guess I know where his attitude's at. And I'm not talking to him for the rest of the day. So the next time we spoke was when I was congratulating him on winning the green jacket. Don't even think of being my friend today for the next four hours. He pretty much told me with a straight face, leave me along. By the way, Tiger Mine are doing great.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. You should just kept going. Yeah, I should just kept talking. You just don't got to talk, but you're going to be damn good at listening. Next time I want to try that. I have a feeling I'm going to have an opportunity again, so I'm going to try that. All right, we are now joined in studio. Paul Casey, welcome to the show, my man.

You and Pat Perez, who you mentioned was part of the ASU golf team. You guys are still very good buddies to this day. And from the outside looking in, like you guys, like, that looks like a complete odd couple. Like complete odd. You got this obnoxious, loud, long-haired American, and then you got you a very soft-spoken, nice, you know. Did I tell you the first time we met? No, but I'd love to hear that. And anytime you want a bag on Pat as hard as you want, this is an open forum for them.

I love Pat and Pat loves me. Oh, we love them too, but it's... So, first time I ever met Pat, so there I am this, you know, pasty white English kid off the plane, wintertime, 1997, January 97. And I'm hitting golf balls. I'm like, nothing going on. down at the range at AS Hugh at Carston, rest in peace, it's no longer there. And we've got acres and acres of space and this chipping green that's just behind me, and out comes this kid, and he dumps down his shag bag.

And I'm the only person out there, and I'm hitting onto the range. He dumps down his shag bag, 25 feet from me, gives me this glare, and hits this golf all straight over my head to this chipping green behind me. He's got acres of room, and this punk kind of puts down this and hits this golf, and the divot lands right at my feet. And I'm like, what is this? And I look at him and he looks at me. And so as he hits the second one over my head, I just wander over.

And I said, all right, what's your name? Pat, my name's Paul. I said, this is really easy. I said, I was here first. You were here second. So either you move or I move you. And he kind of looks at me. Perfect.

And he goes, and he figured I wasn't joking. And so he moved. And that was great. Back down. I love that. Back down. That's the first intro with you and Pat. Yeah.

And so, and unbeknownst to me, my apartment was next door to his. Our front doors were six feet apart. And, oh, we abused each other. We called each other names constantly. But we'd be around there playing, playing cards, playing poker, drinking, doing what we did in college. Welcome to America. Here's the amazing golf. Here's your buddy, Pat.

Pat will show you the way. And that's what, look, and you know Pat, you know the real Pat. Pat's a teddy bear. He's awesome. him to death. That's what I was going to say. He's got that rough look like he's all mean. He wants every. He's a nice. But he would he would he would, you know, he would challenge guys. He would, and, and some guys would stand up to him or, or be able to deal with it. And they would thrive. And there were other guys who'd cave into Pat and he'd have him. You know, that was it.

But deep down, it's because he's just, he's just, he's just Pat. He's just a big teddy bear. But he's, you know, ultra competitive is good at what he does. He just does it in Pat's style. which I'm cool with. I didn't know him in college, but I'm assuming he's still the exact same hat. Exactly. And that's why I love him because he's consistent. There's,

you know, I love the guys on tour who are consistent. And, yeah, he is one of the most consistent guys on tour. What you see is what you get. And he never changes. And I fully respect him for that.

You know exactly where you stay in with that. Which is great. Either likes you, if he doesn't like you, you're going to know. It's pretty easy. I don't think he dislikes a lot of, he doesn't dislike a lot of people or anything.

He just, he just has an opinion and he doesn't kind of yeah yeah he's just him and if you like it and mesh with that cool be friends because he'll like pretty much he doesn't really try to pretty much likes everybody like me i want you to like me he's not that guy you know what i mean well that's a incredible story just pops him down starts hitting shots over your head just like you don't matter punk and then yeah exactly i love that all right we're here on golf subpar with brian arlacker and we always give a little plug at the end of the show so i figured nobody would know better about plugs than you, so go ahead.

But statements like that that make this show subpar. You've played like all over the country. You've played some incredible tracks. Give me a quick rundown. Brian Arlacker, favorite places I've ever played. Augusta, number one. It played Shinnecock. Shadow Creek is one of my all-time favorite places.

And the course is great. You've been there. But the hang, man, you could drop me off there at 8 o'clock at the morning, pick me up at 8 o'clock at night. I'd be the happiest man on the world. It's a heaven for a golf. Chinese poker. Drinking, golfing.

Eating the great food out there. Just scaring the shit out of people from the trees. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. You don't only play 18 holes every time we go out. The guys that play with their oldest hell, so they're like 18. Bob Man Carey is not that old. But you don't play more than 18 holes of golf.

So we play 18 holes and then in two and a half hours, mind you. So we'll tee off the back, whatever. We play 18 holes. Then we'll go eat, play Chinese poker and just hang out forever. I tell people, I said if I had one day left to play golf, I think it would probably be there. For sure. Just because I mean, the golf course is great. It is good.

But it's just so fun playing with Monty out there and Man Carrey. The guy, they gamble. Just the whole vibe music. It's chill. Yeah, do whatever you want. You played Augusta, super mellow, like a total opposite in the spectrum, but awesome. Agreed. Scottsdale National is one of my favorites as well.

Shore Acres, Chicago. Butler's hard. It's so hard. I can play there once every six months and be happy. That's where you go to get your handicap up. You haven't even put it in a February bunker? If you hit in a February bunker, just get it out. Just go sideways.

It's the hardest course. It's freaking annoying. I shot like 83. I just shot the course record. The best score ever. 83 at Butler. This is golf subpar with Colt Nost and Drew Stoltz Where serious golfers talk about serious things

You fucked it up, you didn't say I'm Kevin Chappell They know who I am Yeah, everyone So we had just got our tour cards And I had to go to rookie orientation And they did it after finals of Q school And it was in Florida Well, the weekend before was UCLA-USC football game

So I thought I had some money I'm like, hey guys, let's I got some college team made together. So let's get together. Let's go to this game. I'll get us a suite at the W, which is right in Westwood, and we'll have a good time. So I get the suite, unbeknownst to me, we get Britney Spears as sweet, supposedly. So we have a night. And I remember, you know, getting Taco Bell on the way home and wake up the next day. And there is black sharpie marks everywhere. I mean, there's a Chase lounge, there's a mattress, and there's 15 guys in this two-bedroom

place, but there's couches everywhere. So it's someone, everyone had a place to sleep and there's black sharpie marks everywhere and I can't figure it out. So we go to the game, we come back, knock on the door. And it's security and they're like, sir, you've vandalized his room. You know, here's your bill. And so there's like a bill for the mattress. So of all things, I had to buy the mattress. That's what you want is a hotel mattress.

Mattress. Yeah. From the W and L.A. But they could clean the couch, but they couldn't clean the mattress. If there's damage to a mattress, they have to get rid of it. And I'm like, well, first of all, why can't. you clean the mattress? And they're like, well, we can't do it.

It's against the law. I'm like, well, if I'm buying the mattress, you're going to ship it to me. So here's my shipping address. And they're like, well, no, you don't get the mattress. And I'm like, well, I'm paying for it. I'm buying it. Yeah. So we get in this argument.

Finally, they're like, all right, we'll leave the mattress. You just got to pay for the cleaning. So I guess what had happened, I come to find out after they leave is a guy had passed out and we blackfooted him. So we colored his foot in from his toes up to his hip, Like, up to his hip flexor. And he was a sleepwalker.

So he walked around all night and found different places to sleep. Well, everywhere he slept, there was Sharpie. That is amazing. I've never heard that prank before. I've heard a lot of, like, pranks you do and dudes are past out.

I've never heard coloring his entire leg from his feet to his hip, basically, in Sharpies. Talk about your all-time backfire. I don't blame you for wanting the mattress, though. I mean, where Britney Spears slept. That's what I'm thinking. I would have been perfectly fine with that bill.

Yeah, that's good. Here's my shipping address. That's a good story. I like it. It's a little sharpy prank amongst the fellas. Still don't have the mattress. Must have got last one mail. Westwood.

We need that. We need that Britney Spears mattress. Yeah, that's one for the archives. Back in the day, Brittany, not current day, Brittany. We don't want that one. No, this was Hayday Brittany, dude. Hello, everyone. This is John Rom, and you're watching the Sapa podcast with professional PJ

golfer called Nost and professional amateur tour golfer over here. Sleeze. You mentioned that you, you, you passed. the test that you had to your English portion by one question. And I've heard this in different outlets and things like that. But is it true that when you came to ASU, one of the ways you learned English was your big rap guy. You listen to rap songs.

Is that true that you learned, like, whether it was regular English or slang or whatever, that was your way of like, hey, this is how I'm going to learn English. I'm going to turn on Lil Wayne and see what happened. Yeah, they didn't learn English. I learned a lot of slang. Let's say that. If I were speaking based on what I learned, I would have gotten in a lot of freaking trouble in school.

Yeah, I know people that grew up. up in America that listened to a rap album not understand 90% of it. So for a person that doesn't say, what shit are they talking about? I just, I had to like the beat because I had no clue what was going on in the song. And right now, I still have trouble to. Like, if I listen to Amigo song, I have no idea what they're saying. I have to look into it. And that's how it all started.

I got curious about what they were saying. And some of my teammates would have every rap song basically memorized. And that's how I did it. I just, you know, I wanted to be able to rap and wrap the fast parts with them. And it didn't help. me learn English. It helped me, it helped me with the process of thinking in English. It helped me with being able to process faster and keeping up with conversations and being able to pronunciate a little bit faster. And it was basically a great enunciation tool. Like, you know,

like it really just helped to be able to talk a little bit better. But I didn't learn English that way. Probably came in handy for that first combo with Kelly though, huh? And throw a little bit No, I started off a little bit after. It was a few months after when I actually started getting into this. And the first song I learned was Backstreet Freestyle by Kendrick Lamar. That's the very first song I learned. I memorized the whole thing, had no clue what he meant, no clue what he was saying. And a lot of it, I missed a lot of part of the culture in the background of hip-hop

and what they really are trying to say, right? So a lot of it makes more sense now than they did back then. I'm U.S. Open champ, Gary Woodland, and you're listening to Subpar with Colton Drew. You win the deal at Pebble. unbelievable moment. What's the next? Give us the next. I know you're on the Today Show and all that, but give us like a two week what it looked like right after that. It was a big night that night at the tap room. Where'd you go? Straight to the tap room. I had media for like three hours. I was starving. I got there. Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas waited for me. When I showed up at tap room,

they were way ahead of me. Okay. So I'm pretty good at getting caught up pretty quick. A little catch up. I had to get caught up, which was awesome. The best part of that, So I've obviously never seen the U.S. Open trophy, never touched it. So I get it. And for the record, Jordan Speeth had already won this trophy. So I don't blame this all on myself. And so I'm like, we got to drink out of this thing, right? Of course.

So I can't get the lid off. And so Jordan's like, no, I think they welded it on. I don't think it comes off anymore. So we turn it upside down and we pour a bottle of vodka. And we're drinking out of the bottom of it. Okay. But the USDA has a table of a room down below the tap roof. And somebody had text them and told him, Gary Wooden's drinking out of the bottom of the trophy.

So the guy comes up, he's like, hey, can I talk to you? No. Am I in trouble? He goes, no, you idiot. The trophy, the lid comes off. He had twist. We're trying to pull it. Oh, wow.

They must have been way ahead of you if you can't figure out of a twist off lid. Jordan Speed had won three years prior. So I blame him for that. But anyway, we ended up, we finally got it out of the, the open to the top of the trophy. We drank out of there for a long time. And I went straight from there to New York, spent some time into New York, had a great time doing the media stuff, which is, it's a lot, but it was really cool. And then, you know, we've, we've drank. My friends that kind of have just an open door. They come in and start drinking

out of the trophy just on a random Tuesday at home. So it's been, it's been a lot. But it's been really good. I mean, it's not a bad thing. Do you take that with you? I think Cole has a story. Has it gone anywhere with you since like the immediate aftermath of winning it? The only time I traveled with it was Butch Harmon wanted to drink out of. He's like, hey, you won this. I've been with Butch for a long time, and it was pretty meaningful. So I'm like, I don't want to carry this thing through the airport. So I took the lid off and I put it in my carry on and just carried it through the airport. Like nothing happened.

So going through security, did it all, got to Vegas. Butch and I hung out with it. And lo and behold, the tournament was there the next week, the Shriners and Colts in town. Colts asking me for this trophy. Yo, bring that trophy there. I get kind of embarrassed walking around with it. Like, I don't want to just be that guy. That's the difference between you and Colt.

And we're in Vegas. and I was not sober. Finally, Colt's like, it was Wednesday, or I don't know if you know what night it was. I'm like, here's the deal. I don't want to be seen with it, but I will bring it to you as long as you promise not to break it. I'll go eat dinner and then I'll come back and I'll get the trophy back. I'm eating dinner with my wife at Javier's in Vegas and Colt walks up. Full, it has 1942 in the tequila.

And he had wrote his name and tape and put it underneath mine. 2020. 2020? Champion. Yeah. Beauty Nosed. I mean, I had more people text me, hey, I didn't know the trophy was there. I'm like, Cole had, he had more fun with that trophy that night, I think, than I've had.

I don't blame you, dude. You get two hours with the U.S. Open trophy, you send it. He literally texts me, he goes, hey, is everything good? You got the trophy? I was like, dude, I haven't let out of my sight. And I went to the bathroom at Ari and I had it while I was at the urinal holding it. I was like, dude, I got it. We're good.

Don't worry about it. You know him well. His name Kyrdeck Alpha Barnrat. Welcome to the podcast, my man. I got to get to this story because it's one of the best. When I first read this story, I thought it was one of the best stories I'd ever heard in golf. And you know the story. You've told it a few times, but not a ton of people over here know it.

And it's the first time you got a real check in professional golf for $15,000. I know you told it before, and I want you to tell it. But you go out, you get a first check, 15 grand, right? U.S. 15,000 U.S. What do you go to? Most guys go put it in the bank. Hey, I can go get a few more entry fees. What do you go do with that 15?

Well, I have to saying that before I get the first check, I was driving with my dad to seeing the nice Mercedes showrooms, then I stopped by. I'll tell my dad, like, I need some pressure. Just go in. I need some pressure. Just go in. I love that. Buy the car. Just pay $5,000 up ahead. And then the deadline was next month. I have to keep playing, playing, playing. So my first check, get $50,000. I hold the check and go straight away to the showrooms and pay them half. Then I came back to see my mom. Mama's like, how was you doing? Where's the check?

I spent it. I spend it all. Not even 10%. I spent it all. How mad was she? In an hour. Oh, man. You can't imagine it.

You can't imagine that. I mean, me and my dad, we doesn't have dinner. She never cook. You just walk away, go out to the room and shut the door straight away. Figure it out yourself. I love that. Hey, dad, I need some pressure. My dad's back, you're going to need a place to live, kid.

You know, you know, shape up. I love that you just said, I need some pressure so I can play good. I need to buy in some. I need the pressure to push my, to push me up. I mean, if you want to buy Sleese and I something really nice for some pressure this week, you could spend a couple million on us right now. Yeah, you have back to the wall again, you know, never know what a nice thing. What was the car that you got?

Um, Mercedes E 250? You got it went out first check, I need a Mercedes. I'm gonna and put my back against the wall. I'll go on the money. You have would have had 90 days to go to pay it off or something like that. 40 days, but a down payment said I'll be back within 40 days. You have to understand that in Asia, the total price money is, 200,000. So you have to win two at least to cover all the expenses. I win once and then

finish another like four top five. I cover 40 days by one win and four top five. Just one car. You do that over here. You make four million dollars. I'm Wyndham Clark. Little spoons a little better than the big spoon and I'm on subpar with my boys Colton Drew. The last time I threw up was the first time I ever threw up from alcohol. You've only thrown up one time one time. Are you out of your mind? You live in Vegas for two years and you only threw up one time? When was it?

What was it? What was it? Break it down for us. It was with him. There you go. There you go, dude. When? It was with him. We were literally at Whiskey Row in Scottsdale.

All right. We got to hear the story. This is a great story. This is perfect. There's two different versions of the story. No, there's the real story. We got time. We got time for both.

Go. Okay. Here we go. Colt. I'm in town. I hadn't lived here. This was two years ago. Yeah.

Just moved here? I was on the web. I was on the web. I hadn't. You were in town. I'm surprised Colt was hanging out with you. Yeah. And I think I almost locked.

I think I locked up my card on tour. Oh, celebration time. So I come to Scottsdale and I'm practicing and playing, whatever. And then I don't know where I kind of get it. I think I texted you or whatever. He said, hey, we're going out. Whiskey Row. I got a table.

You got to come. So we show up. There's 10, 12 of us. Got girls. Some of the buds. We're having fun. We'd run out of alcohol. And he says, hey,

Wyndham, get the bottle. And I said, you know, why mean? Now I should have 100% just offered to get the bottle. No, but at the time,

you're fresh out of college. You're like, yo, that's a bottle. That's a lot of money. So I, and I go, really?

And he's like, yeah, I'll kick you out if you don't get the bottle. No. No. You don't have to convince. That sounds 100% like a hundred percent.

And he's like, He brings over, he's like, hey. Yeah, he does this. He knows everybody. Of course. Hey, Cindy. Another, another patron. Colt goes there.

I just thought of a name, dude. Colt goes there four times a week, so he knows everybody. He has a cot in the back. He sleeps in that. So he just literally lifts his hand and everyone's like, oh, it's cool. You know, so it brings over. So the guy comes over and I'm like, all right, fine, I'll get it. So the girl comes over and this is me being, you know, on the web, just out of college.

I'm like, what's your cheapest bottle? Give me the trash. Literally. And she's like, really? She goes, uh, it's 450 bottles for, like, like Don Julio. I'm like, are you kidding me? I'm like, I can go buy that right now. I could buy 12 of those things. Yeah. More than that. And so I ordered the bottle and within 10 to 20 minutes as the bottle gets there, Cole goes, hey, we got another spot at Bevy or whatever.

Yeah. I go, oh, great, sweet. We've had one drink and I just spent $450 and now we're going somewhere else. So I was all, I was kind of mad. I was like, well, this sucks. So me and my friend and a couple of girls that were there, we stayed. My friend and I finished the bottle between the two of us. Yeah, you're like, I ain't leaving until I get my full 450 worth. And afterwards, I wasn't speaking English. I don't remember what happened. And I threw up all over my friend's place, had no idea, wake up the next day.

I leave like 100, 200 bucks. Sorry about the cute. I'm so sorry. And I leave. You don't ever leave a note. You just leave. You both have learned from both of us. I feel like this is like our child or adopted child that we've helped raise.

You know what I mean? That's the only time we've ever thrown up from booze. I'm being dead serious. That's crazy. Good on you for that. Yeah. I'm Gary McCord. I'm here with Drew Stoltz and Colt Nosed.

And believe me, they are subpar. Ooy, oie, ozy, ozy, okay. Is that what he would say when you would check in on the money? And then I'd go, what? And then we go down and, and then we go down. Peter would go, yeah. And David would put the microphone, as you know, he's got unbelievable flashes. And at any time, he can generate monumental burps of nastiness.

And he would put it down to his rear end and you'd hear, that's how we knew David was. On the mic, yeah. His mic's hot. Well, we do. Yeah, yeah. So we go, and David, now we go to get David. And you hear this.

Oh, uh-oh. And then, okay, let's go to 14. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. So I'm sitting there. Uh-oh. I would say, uh-oh. And so now I'm looking, and I know.

I think I know. We've got the dress, Adidas on, and we got khaki pants. And I'm looking down, as you know, 16 at Quayot Hollow. It's just dead straight, basically, in the old green. And I can see the tea. When I look back there and here he is, Tiger hits it, and there goes David walking, splay-footed with rain pants on. Oh, I know what the uh-oh is.

The boy is shit his pants. Now we can't go anywhere because there's five million worshippers of Tiger that are hounding the trees and the grass and the fairways. and he is like a ping pong ball in a hurricane. He's trying to get out, but he can't get out. And so I see him down there walking. He is walking and is splay-footed. Toes are going left and right out there. And I know he's not comfortable, and it's going to get crusty in a little bit,

especially as hot as it is. So I see him peel over there, and he gets underneath the tree kind of near the people. Tiger gets up, and David, what's he got? Now David's nowhere near him, right? And he goes, seven iron, 174 yards. I go, you think that's enough club, David? Oh, yeah, he's playing pretty good now. So he gets up and he hits the ball in the green about 18 feet.

And I look down, David's not moving. He's still underneath the tree back there in the fair way. So now we come to Tiger. I go, okay, now we got, I told Lance hit the button. I said, get worm cam. Get worm cam on. Worm cam is where you put the camera right on the ground, right behind the ball. Because I want to give my, it's the best thing in golf because you use, you'll take a ride.

If you're on a couch, you get a ride. You get to watch the stroke, and then you get to watch the ball from point of view. That's the players. It's fantastic. So I get P.O.V. on this. So I go, David, I know you're down there and you've looked over this put a couple times. I watched you. What is it?

He has no idea what you. 180 yards back there in the federal one. You're so wrong. And he's trying to hide because he's uncomfortable and he's crusting up and everything else. He's shit his pants. So then, and he can't be wrong now because we got worm cam. Right. If he reads it and he read it eight inches the wrong way.

Yeah, you're dead. He's dead. So now, it's this putt and I go, well, David, I don't know what you're doing down there, but that wasn't even close. What were you doing when you're looking at the green? And he's going to like, it's only there. He just flipped me off from underneath the tree down there. So we wait.

Now everybody knows. Everybody knows David has crapped his pants. Okay. So we go to 17 and we're kind of, we're just watching him. We go to 18, you know, that long walk of the creek and he's walking all the way down there. And it's getting wider and wider. It can't be good. And it's 120 degrees.

It's 120 degrees and it's just. Oh, God. So now. he's sitting there and our compound is right up above the 18th hole. It's about 70 yards up there. And so Tiger putts out and we're going a commercial break and you see David now starting to run up the hill with his microphone, his backpack and everything else. And Lance goes, David, I want you to stay down there and get an interview from Tiger.

Oh God. Yes, perfect. So he stops, he gets his shoulder just slump like this and he walks back. So now the cameraman, we all know it, Davey Finch. locks the camera on the three guys. So we've got Tiger in the middle. We've got Stevie over here, who is, at best, one and one A as far as flatulence.

Okay? And we got David on this side. And David's just sitting there like this with the microphone in his hand, head down, shoulders curled. And he's just sitting there. And now we're all watching. Tiger doesn't like the interviews, doesn't like to be sick. He goes, hey, Ferdt.

when do we come back from commercial Lance Tiger wants to know when we're coming back from commercial tell him 20 seconds 30 seconds 30 seconds 30 seconds you see Tiger going he's like this so they're all sitting there you know

about 15 seconds and all of a sudden you see Tiger going oh god he turns to Stevie and he goes you didn't okay He goes, Stevie didn't. I mean, Steve goes, I didn't do it. So he turns to David.

As soon as he looks at David, David goes, I shot myself on 15. And Tiger jumped up in the air, kind of like get away from him. Then five, four, Jimmy, throw it down. He's got Tiger Woods down there, our own David Faradie. So David goes to put the mic and Tiger's running. He's getting away from it. He left. So David's trying to get the mic.

And Tiger's running that way because the stench is so bad, I guess. And it was hilarious to watch.
