Ever witnessed a wild kingdom moment while lining up your putt? We sure have. This week, we share an incredible nature story from Legacy Golf Course, where a roadrunner hunted, caught, and tried to devour a baby rabbit right before our eyes—something none of us had seen in decades of desert golf.
Golf equipment dominates our conversation as we dive into TaylorMade's nostalgic approach with the upcoming R7 Mini Driver release. Unlike competitors who simply shrink their current models, TaylorMade taps into golfers' emotional connections with classic clubs while incorporating modern technology. We explore the ultra-tacky Roo Grips from Grip Master that might transform your short game, proving that sometimes the smallest equipment changes yield the biggest performance improvements.
The eternal golfer's dilemma surfaces: do you haul your beloved clubs across the country for just one round, or face the uncertainty of rental sets? We share horror stories of senior-flex "Walmart specials" and surprising successes with rental clubs that made us question our own equipment choices. Meanwhile, Vegas golf courses face maintenance challenges that remind us how even prestigious facilities like Pinehurst occasionally struggle with conditions—a humbling reality for golfers expecting perfection.
Our tournament talk highlights the upcoming Vegas Golf Network event at Las Vegas National Golf Club (6:30 a.m. start, one spot remaining!) and professional events, including the LPGA at Black Desert Resort and Epson Tour at Spanish Trail, featuring the talents of Dana Fall and Yana Wilson. Whether you're chasing daylight on the course or tracking golf's most significant events, our insider perspective brings you closer to the game we love.
Hit subscribe and join us each week for unfiltered golf talk that goes beyond scorecards and swing tips to capture the true essence of this maddening, magnificent sport.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
So something I saw on the golf course that I've never
seen before.
Uh, I've been playing a lot ofgolf in this desert for a long
time, never seen this.
So, uh, wednesday morning, wego out, we're playing legacy,
and uh, we're on the fourth hole, the downhill par four, and um,
uh, jeremy and trey were paying, playing from the tips and john
(10:57):
and I were playing up a box andand we're all pretty much in
the same area off the tee onthat hole, and John and I over
in the in the rough, and we seea, a road runner, come running
out of a bush with a baby rabbitin his beak.
Nice, and I was like Whoa, Ididn't.
I knew they ate, you know, ratsand lizards, but rabbit.
(11:20):
And so I said, hey, he scaredit and and it dropped it.
And then the the other, theadult rabbits, came out and were
like trying to, you know, fendoff, you know, I mean, they got
nothing.
All they could do is pat themwith their paws, you know they
really can't do anything and uh,so they, the little baby hops
back into the bushes.
(11:41):
And I was like, wow, that wasfreaking wild.
So, uh, we, you know, the otherguys hit.
And then john says to me, hegoes, dude, he got it.
And I'm like what?
And we look, and sure enough,he went back in the bush, got it
and was running across thefairway with it to the other
side and he sets up on thelittle berm up there and he's
(12:02):
taking his head and he'sslamming the fucking rabbit into
the ground and he killed it.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It was like holy shit , I've never, never seen a a
roadrunner do that before I'mlike you used to be my one of my
favorite birds, but now you'rea little terrorist you're an
asshole maybe all courses arelaced with game, you know that's
like you know, if I washomeless, I would just camp out
(12:27):
next to a golf course, and thenI you know, it's the bunnies.
Yeah, birds, bunnies, yeahexactly, cook them up in like a
little garbage, can grill yeah,keep them in the cooler from the
, the fairway that the fromthat's like a nature is metal
moment you saw there should havecome.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I was no, I said I go hang on it because trey was
talking to me.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I'm like hang on, a second trey, I'm recording a
wild kingdom moment.
And I was like oh, treyprobably doesn't know what wild
kingdom is, but yeah, it was itwas wild I've never I mean I've
seen.
I've seen, you know, a rabbitget a full-grown rabbit get
taken by a hawk seen that happenat at uh royal links on number
(13:10):
seven, when you're going awayfrom the clubhouse, those
red-tailed hawks that lived overon those foam poles used to
watch them shred rabbits in thefairways all the time.
Easy pickings, easy picket.
But I've never seen.
I've never seen a roadrunner goafter a baby rabbit.
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
That's pretty cool to see that it was wild.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Legacy.
I had to defend Legacy in theFacebook Las Vegas Friends chat
because it's here right now.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
And I like Legacy.
I remember Legacy back in theday when it was gorgeous, and
every time I'm out there, that'sall I have visions of.
But you know they're goingthrough some shit right now and
you know I was talking with Treythe golf Trey, not our friend
Trey there at Legacy and he toldme he's like hey, I'm going to
(14:02):
give you a heads up.
We got some rough patches.
You know we've had some waterissues, some irrigation issues,
so I just want to give you aheads up.
I said well, I appreciate that,thank you for telling me that,
but look at here, that's Legacy,that's number five, that's the
par five.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
That's the irrigation issues.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Well, this is the good, I'll say.
It doesn't look bad.
No, and that's the thing yougot to take the good with the
bad.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I don't have a bad photo.
I didn't take a bad photo Okay.
So that doesn't look bad.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
No, and you can see the lines on the green and
there's some areas that areabsolutely fantastic and there's
some areas that are absolutelytrashed and unfortunately,
unfortunately, most of thoseareas that are bad are on the
greens right now.
So it's it's, it's tough forthem and it sucks because
(14:56):
everybody's charging prime raceright now because the weather
and and they just can't, and Ifeel bad for them.
But you know they they'retrying.
They're trying really hard.
It's not like they don't wantthe course to be good, and
that's the thing.
The Las Vegas golf groups and.
I was just talking with RobbieNick a little while ago because
(15:17):
apparently Cascada has losttheir greens.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Really, really.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
TBC Vegas has lost their greens and I told him I'm
like, yeah, t vegas has losttheir greens, uh.
But I told him I'm like, yeah,tbc vegas has lost their greens,
but palm valley is primo rightnow it's like go go figure, go
out to coyote springs.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I know it's a drive, but it's maculate out there yeah
, they're punching next tuesdaytoo I saw that yeah, yeah
Speaker 1 (15:41):
um national is in great shape.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Their greens were great and we played in the
afternoon.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I mean we did off at two so they were baked but they
were still still rolling, great.
And but those Las Vegas golfgroup and everybody, how are the
greens?
How are the greens?
How are the greens?
And it's like, yeah, I get it,you want to be able to putt on
nice greens, but yeah, I mean,not every course.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Not every course is shadow creek and so high, that's
what everybody cares about isthe greens, and and and and
courses need to invest in thatarea to.
I mean, you'll bring peopleback, you'll get people to book,
you'll get people coming backjust because of your greens.
Nobody really cares aboutanything else besides the greens
.
You know, because that's whereyou score and if it's like
(16:29):
bumping, they're like and now itwas green, you know it's but
it's easy to.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's easy to crap on greens, you know, and I it's
like I don't know.
Yeah, it would be nice ifeverybody had pristine greens
like piute yeah, I meaneverybody goes through issues.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I mean it's it's tough to maintain a golf course.
It takes a lot of time andpatience and especially a lot of
freaking money, and when youhave issues, uh, like irrigation
issues for instance, it can betwo or three days and you've
already kind of already in thefirst process to losing your
greens.
Yeah, so you know what happens.
(17:09):
It happens to the best.
Look at pinehurst.
They actually shut down thisweek.
They shut down number four.
Number four is getting a fullgreen restoration.
From what I read.
I'm not sure if that's 100%true, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I was like and that's not too long after they did it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's a year out of a major yeah, I mean that's one
of the biggest resorts in thecountry, if not the biggest golf
resort in the country, and soyou know they got a shit ton of
money.
So for them to lose greens likethat, you know it's like.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I said shit happens, it happens.
And you know, we had a crazyhot spell that came through and
then it got cold after that andit's like we haven't had a
spring.
It's been windy as hell.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, I'm wondering how much the wind has dried out
a lot of these greens, I wonderif a lot of these courses are
having to overwater to try tokeep a little moisture in them.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I know, like I said, we played National, we teed off
at 2, and we played like fourhours At 6 o'clock.
The bunkers were hard as rocksand you know we've played out
there in the morning and thebunkers are fantastic, but it
was bad.
I mean, it was hard, but I meanit's going to happen, you know,
(18:24):
and the greens were burned alittle bit but they still rolled
good.
I just feel bad.
You know people forget thatLegacy shut down for a little
while because they you know,somebody bought it was going to
try and put houses out there,the same assholes that bought
prim.
But, um, you know, and when youturn those, those water valves
off and there's no waterlubricating those seals, and
(18:46):
then they dry out and then youturn it back on, it goes south
fast.
Yeah, it can.
So I mean it's a struggle andhats off to the greenskeepers
that I was telling people, hey,be lucky, we still have legacy,
right?
Yeah, there was a time when wedidn't Be grateful and you know
(19:09):
they're not.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah, and who's to say that in a year or two it
might not be open?
I mean, we're losing golfcourses quick in Vegas and
unfortunately, with the qualityof golf courses and the price,
the surge in pricing and howpopular it is, it's tough to
find a tee time and not payunder $100 dollars anymore
that's just for local stuff yeahI couldn't imagine paying the
(19:36):
out-of-town rates to play someof the quality of some of these
courses well, I know what theycharged us I know what they
charged the locals or thenon-locals.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
That went out in front of us and I was like whoo
yeah, I would not be happy likeyeah, fuck vegas.
Yeah exactly it was.
We were, uh, we were at dinner,uh, on wednesday.
At that night, uh, I took joe'sadvice and went to um, what was
(20:04):
it called?
I got the menu here.
I can't remember what it wascalled uh, but cleaver, cleaver,

Speaker 1 (20:36):

atmosphere had a blast.

insane rates.

Yeah, uh, oh, robbie's watching.
Hey, robbie, let me talk aboutyou baby.
Uh, so it's.
Yeah, streaming on peacock.
Uh, youtube, you can watch it.
And uh, yeah, so do that.
Uh, gl Glenn's daughter'splaying in it.
She's on a team, they havequite a few teams on it and
(23:15):
Michael Block's on the team.
There's a handful of pros outthere, like I said, michael
Herrera absolute stick he'splaying in it.
What are you laughing at, joe?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Fernando, my homie that I work with.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
He said we don't need money.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Money is dumb money.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Money is dumb, money is dumb, all right, uh.
So lpga, black desert uh,second chance for black desert
to be on tv.
Uh, I think we all agree thatthey did not do the best job
when the PGA Tour was there lastfall.
Didn't really showcase a lot ofthe holes.
No need for that.
(23:57):
Oh, my goodness, yes, well, noneed for that type of language.
We'll get into that in just onesecond.
Let me finish with BlackRock.
We'll go back to it.
So this is another opportunityfor BlackRock to get some eyes
on it.
Uh, hopefully they have alittle bit more coverage, they
see a little bit more holes.
Uh, I'm looking forward towatching this one.
(24:20):
It would be nice, because thelpga always comes on late in the
evening, especially being onthe west coast event, uh, so
maybe get some live holes, uh,instead of the tape delay stuff
that we occasionally get shaftedon with that.
If you're interested inchecking out Black Desert, which
I highly recommend, go do it.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Black Desert is amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
It's legit.
It should be on TV.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
We got in at the perfect time too.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It was nice and cheap .
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Nice and cheap and nothing in the trailer for the
pro shop free tacos pretty goodafterwards.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I really, really want to play Entrada man.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I really want to play that, of course take Haiti out
there, bro, just do a stand play, do a little boyfriend
girlfriend weekend, even thoughyou guys are married.

drop the kids off at some randomhouse.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
They'll be fine, it's Utah.

You just pull up at a Utah ranch and go hey, watch

Speaker 2 (25:32):

I'm sure drop them off at a fire station.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
We need a break.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
We need a break, oh yeah, so Chris Torres brought
this up.
No need for that type oflanguage.
This was hilarious.
You want to talk about firstimpressions?
I have never played golf withChris.
He's come over.
I've done some club work forhim.
Um, we've always chatted aboutgetting out, but it's never
(25:55):
worked out well I was thehardest guy to play golf with oh
, and he told me he goes.
He told me he goes.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yeah, we'll get out again, just probably a month,
four weeks in advance um and uh,him and uh, is it?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
no, honey kevin and honey kevin and vj they were
mccallan fame mccallan and anduh, I was walking me and julian
were walking over to the startershack to let him know that we
were leaving and I see a nationlogo on a bag and I was like oh,
nation said torres would likethat.
Well, it was his bag.
I didn't know.
I go around the corner and vjstanding at the starter shack
(26:33):
and I'm like, hey, what's goingon?
and uh, I turn around andthere's chris and I'm like, oh,
what's up?
And and they were getting readyto go out and I said, uh, how
many people you got?
And, um, he said there's justthree of us.
I said I'm gonna join you.
You know, uh, julian was gonnaget a ride with trey, so I
didn't have to drop him off.
I said let me go park the carand I'll meet you guys on the
first tee.
(26:54):
So I never played with Chris,never played with Kevin.
I see Vijay, he's in the VGN.
I haven't played with him in around.
So it was a good time and wewere having fun.
We were having a blast andKevin forgot his golf clubs.
He opens up his trunk and wewere having fun, we were having
a blast and, uh, kevin forgothis golf clubs.
He, he opens up his trunk andthere's no clubs in it.
(27:16):
So he had to get a rental set.
And if you know, if you knowrental sets, they, they're
shovels, they're they're superlofted, super strong lofted
shovels.
And he was smashing the ball,like smashing the ball, but it
was going all over the place,right, and the group in front of
(27:36):
us, they weren't playing fast,they weren't playing slow, they
were just.
You know there was a group infront of them as well, and you
know we weren't really goinganywhere.
They were just there they werejust there.
And when we were on the secondhole, and when we were on the
second hole, somebody playingsix hit over the hole through
the number seven tee box,through the number three tee box
(28:01):
, the par three, and came on thecart path Right On two.
Yeah, Jesus.
The three tee box.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
You know how the three and seven tee box are side
by side.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, so they hit over the six green, through the
seven tee box, through the twotee box, onto the car path and
it rolled down by the ditch andwe were like, holy shit, never
seen that happen.
Oh, but wait we did see ithappen again because when Nahani
got to that hole, he did theexact same thing oh shit he hits
(28:40):
a high fade.
I won't go as far as saying it'sa slice.
He hits a high slice and itdidn't slice.
It went straight through,yelled four and like, landed
right next to the dude, likeright next to him, bounced
through the trees when you knowit was right there.
I was like holy shit, right.
And then we get to 10 and ithappens again.
(29:05):
Well, if you know, on 10, 11t-box is to the left and back
pulled it so yeah, he, it didn't, it didn't fade again and
landed over by them and sothey're ready.
These guys are done, they'redone right.
And I'm like, oh, my god herewe go right but then I remember,
(29:28):
I mean, Chris is a big, bigmotherfucker.
He you know, he, he packs some,some size with him and uh, we
pull in there, I pull up and Iwas just trying to diffuse the
situation, you know, and andthey knew who it was and and so
(29:48):
I just go up and I'm like, hey,apologize about that.
He goes I don't want yourfucking apology, just don't do
it again If you can't hit thefucking ball straight.
Chris goes there's no need forthat type of language and it
just like it just like made themcower down, it was.
It was just like a totaldiffusing statement, you know.
And they were just like okay,yeah, okay, we're out of here.
(30:15):
And uh, yeah, it was, it was uh, it was a fun moment.
And then, um on, on 16, he, uh,he put one onto eastern and it
rushed our traffic and he hit itand it was, it was a no doubter
.
You know, northbound third laneis where it was headed.
(30:37):
Yes, and I just turned aroundand went please sweet, baby
jesus, please sweet baby jesus,don't hit a car, don't hit a car
, yeah didn't.
He didn't hit a car.
So we were like and then chrisgoes, I'm not even teeing up,
uh-uh, no, let's just go, I'lldrop on the other side.
I'm not even, nope.
Drop on by the green.
Yep, nope, I'm done.
(30:58):
It was oh, but he did it on13-2, the short par four, the
little dog leg, one by the water.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, he pulls out driver and, uh, hits it to the
bathroom rough day and bj goes.
Dude, you've been hitting thethree wood, great and and on now
.
Now you're gonna pull out thedriver.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Speaking of this, like I mean like first
impression what situation do youguys consider when you're like
I'm gonna bring my clubs or I'mnot going to bring my clubs,
Like what is the deciding factor?
Like I know, I know you playedrental clubs in Hawaii, I mean
Matt, I mean, was it because youwere going to play one round or
(31:46):
because I would love my golfclubs through the back alleys of
New York.
If I'm playing Beth Page, Imean if I'm playing a Rainer,
what's the deciding factor for?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
you.
I didn't bring them to Hawaiibecause there's a fee every time
you hop islands, and so therewas a fee to get them to the
main island, then a fee to hopan island, a fee to hop an
island back, and then a fee toget them back the main island,
then a fee to hop island a feeto hop island back and then so
it's money.
So money is the issue.
I was.
I was like I'm not going to pay300 bucks to haul my clubs when
I can rent a set.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
It's money, it's money yeah absolutely.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
That's just.
That's a waste of money in myopinion.
Yeah, um situation you knowlike we're going to oahu next
month it's almost may so in juneum going to one island, and if
I, I'm gonna reach out see if Icould find a place to play, and
if so, I'll bring my clubs Ijust think it's interesting
every time you like, if you'regonna go travel somewhere, it's
(32:42):
like that.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
That's like the first question, like where could I
play?
Uh, who do I know there?
What course?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
can I play?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
robbie's got a question yeah, I did, I did.
Yes, yeah, I did rob.
If you want to know about it,I'll tell you all about it.
Um, but, dan, like for you,because, like for me, it's like
I will do everything in my powerto bring my own clubs and I
will lug it with, uh, thestroller and the, the, the, the
(33:15):
camper bed and all the kidsclothes, and it's like my
fingers will hurt, like it'shard not to bring your own clubs
.
I mean, what's the definer foryou, for matt?
It's money, of course I'm asnobbish golfer.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
I will refuse.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I think we all are.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I refuse to ever buy rental golf clubs.
If I were on a trip for twoweeks and I was only playing one
round of golf club one round ofgolf I'm bringing my clubs.
There's no Now.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
when I went to band the first time I went to band
and we were on a road trip wherewe we went to crater Lake,
stayed at Lake Victoria or thelake right above it for a little
while, went over to Bandon,stayed the night, I played
Bandon and then we went up thecoast up to Newport, Lincoln and
then back down.
I brought my clubs.
(34:03):
So I mean that was one roundand I lugged them all around
nevada, oregon, idaho,washington and california.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
so yeah, I just I think it's dumb to pay 300 bucks
yeah, I can understand that ifyou're doing puddle jumpers and
they charge you every time fordoing that shit yeah and you
weren't playing that much golf,that part I can understand and I
would probably I might considerrenting, but yeah, if, like I
said, if I was only gone for twoweeks, I'm only playing one
(34:33):
round, I'm taking my clubsalmost 99.9 of the times
somebody put in the chat thatjoe's on mute, so he'll take
himself off mute because he'snot listening to me oh yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I think it's also different if, if you're going to
band in, you're going to getyou, you probably have the
option of good clubs.
If you're going to stream song,you got the option of good
clubs.
If you're going to the middleof nowhere.
The one time I ever did rentalclubs was in baltimore at the
timbers course and it was like abig five set of senior flex
(35:03):
wilson's and that gave me a badtaste in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I mean, I wasn't staff.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I wasn't the greatest player at that time.
No, it wasn't even staff.
There was no staff on.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
It was just Wilson.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
It was just Wilson.
It was probably sponsored byBig Five.
It probably had a Big Five logoon it before the staff was on
there.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Don't knock the Wilsons bro.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
No, Wilsons are fantastic.
When I started my junior golfcareer.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I got a set of bernard langer signature wilson
irons no dude wilson's fantasticeight years old like 12
wilson's great everybody's assin southern california but this
was the like.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
It was like the pre-packaged, like buy it in a
box, you know kind of, you know,like a walmart, like a walmart
yeah, it was like a walmartwilson, it was it wasn't the
staff wilson.
It's like you know, the one boxfits all kind of wilson, you
know like.
But no it depends where you'regoing, I think, and you know, if
(36:06):
you're playing some little muniin alabama where bob lost his
range finder like yeah, rentalmeadows 100.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah, the meadows.
They're still sending it.
I would love to see the meadowsstill sucking shit.
It's still stuck in the mail.
It's still sitting in a boxbehind the counter they haven't,
they want it.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, they have it underneath the fucking host the
coast no dude, they sold.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Somebody sold that on whatnot already for sure?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
it was a display model only until, like alright,
he quit calling, we can sell itnow yeah, for sure, but no, I
think that's it.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
For me it's like it depends where I'm going.
If it's, you know, a little parthree course in the middle of
uh, alabama, um, I probablywon't lug it around, but if it's
uh somewhere I want to play.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
That I'm, I played, I played twice in hawaii with
with rental sets.
I brought my clubs to no.
I played with a rental set inmaui at Kapalua also.
They were Titleist.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
AB2s.
I wouldn't do that.
I would not do that.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Yeah, but you got to understand.
Then we had five people.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
It was different times.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Different times.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Different times.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Nowadays, you would never do that, though.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
The two other times that I played with rental sets
was at Kona and Makai, and Ibroke 80 both times with rental
sets and regular flex rentalsets, and that's when you come
home and you're like am.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
I playing the wrong, fucking irons.
I got to buy that Wilson all inone box from Big Five.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Walmart in cap.
It's just blue light special,but nobody knows what that is
it's funny, man uh, blue lightspecials kmart.
We know that well, you do noteverybody does.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I think it's interesting, like the the
thought process behind if you'regoing on a trip, like if you're
going to bring your own clubsand and what determines it
that's.
I was just curious about that.
I know all of us probably would, but I'm curious about it that
is a good question.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Anybody, if anybody wants to chime in, what is the
point where you go not bringingthe clubs?
I would, I would be curious.
Yeah, let's see.
All right, let's see.
So, um, let's see ebsen tour.
We talked a little bit aboutthat.
I don't know whether, I don'teven know if they're charging
for tickets, but if anybodywants to go out and watch,
(38:36):
support uh, the tour out here,um, like I said, dana fall is
playing in it and yana wilson,so there's some local blood.

Tbc vegas coming up really soon.
Let's see what else was it.
Oh, um, these things right here, these grips no, they the rue
(43:44):
grips the rue grips from gripmaster.
I know my golf spy was talkingabout them.
These are the grips that minwooplays, although the ones he
plays are a little differentfrom what I remember, unless
they've just worn out completely.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
But holy, holy crap yeah, they're pretty wild, they.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Yeah, joe yeah, joe was at at.
R saw him In pure.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
Hittin' Greens fashion.
I just popped out of nowhere,Correct Just popped.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Just came out of a hole on the golf course.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
It's correct.
It's true.
I didn't tell him I was coming,I just popped out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
I do got to say, though, those butt caps on those
grips are horrible.
Yeah, it's a little much.
Yeah, that looks.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
It's a little butt cap-y.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Somebody made that shit in their garage.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Yeah, it's a little, but you know what?
You don't see it when you'reholding it.
You're right.
But wow, you want to talk aboutsticky.
I mean like afterwards yourhands, like oh, you feel it, you
feel it, yeah it is you gotsome residue.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
Yeah, so Not like main tarp but you can feel it a
little bit.
Yeah, little Barry Bonds actionLittle pine tarp.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Yeah, super tacky, super, mega, tacky, mega tacky.
So I have those on my wedgesnow and my irons and one on my
driver, so uh, full golf, nerdfull golf.
I really like how stable it isin your hand.
(45:24):
I mean no glove either.
Fuck a glove, you don't need aglove you don't?
those are bobby specials I mean,it's you swing the club and if
you want to like drop it out ofyour hand, you like hit a bad
shot, it doesn't fall out ofyour hand.
Yeah, um.
So yeah, I've gone to that.
(45:45):
And then the other big thingthat happened um, the the, yeah,
I, I put the mg3s back in thebag for a little, yeah, a little
bit.
Here I saw oh you know what, Ican bring that up too, let me
(46:05):
show you this and and basicallywent full golf.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Nerd, the stat nerd.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Uh, yeah, stat nerd that I am, uh, look at this
right, uh, so this is my man,not so company anymore this is
using the clipped app where youtrack your stats and this is my
most uh, the area of my gamethat needs to improve the most,
(46:33):
that can be improved thequickest, if that makes sense.
Uh, so this is around the green, but in the rough one year
trend and right where that fallsoff.
Uh, that, that's when theCallaways went in the bag.
So, yeah, my shot quality was alot higher in this one segment.
Speaker 3 (46:55):
I'm curious Is it the clubs itself, or is it the way
the club looks to you?
Speaker 1 (47:03):
I don't know.
I'd be curious.
I really liked the MG3s and Inever thought I would.
I was gonna switch to thecallaways.
But I really like the way thecallaways look.
I I like that blackhead, I likethe interaction with the ground
.
But you know, I, I I've had onechip in, one chip in with the
(47:27):

I don't know if you've seen them or not, but
pictures of the MG5s came out.
Did you see those a?
Speaker 3 (48:07):
couple days ago.
I did not see those.
No, I did see those Pretty sexy.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
I didn't see the face .
I didn't see face or address.
All I saw was the back of thewedge, but it looks good.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
Well, I put the Nippon Modus 105s in the irons.
I'm pretty happy with how theirons are feeling right now,
especially after the lieadjustment and having that shaft
in there.
The LAs just weren't kickingfor me at the bottom, and so you
(48:37):
know I have those LAs in theCallaway's wedges too.
So I said, well, you know, Ifound the 115 Modus Wedgeflex
shafts.
I said, oh, let's build up theMG3s and see what happens.
Geekens, yeah, that was thatrabbit hole I dug a couple weeks
ago, but I'm pretty happy withhow everything is rolling right
(49:05):
now.
So we shall see.
I'm looking forward to Sunday.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
So you don't have any Modus shafts in your Callaway
wedges.
You're not going to try that tosee if maybe that changes.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
It depends on how these go.
If I'm seeing some positivethings, I may give it a try.
I can always just pull one headand swap it out and see I hit
my 50 more than anything else,but I'm excited about it.
Swap it out and see, you know,because I hit my 50 more than
anything else, um, but I, yeah,I'm, I'm excited about it, but
we'll see.
Okay, we, we shall see.
(49:37):
I had them at, I didn't play.
I played with the callaways atnational and then built them up,
uh, friday night.
So I that I didn't have them.
I didn't have the callawayswith me at Rio, I just brought a
couple wedges.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
Hey, are you guys going to buy the R7 mini driver?
Speaker 2 (49:57):
I have no use for it.
Speaker 1 (49:59):
No desire whatsoever.
What's up with?
Speaker 3 (50:01):
the mini driver craze .
They're easy to hit.
I mean so it started with.
Taylormade started bringingthis shit out right, and then
company the company did it.
And then title list.
Title has title list driver.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Yeah, they have a gt.
They have a gt mini driver, Iknow, but I'm talking about like
before before recently thecurrent situation um, I think
they did in the TSR, I think.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
I think I might have sent one to Jeremy.
Jeremy would know.
Speaker 3 (50:37):
Jeremy would know I might have sent a picture of a
TSR.
He's got a big old band-aid onhis wrist.
Right now he's like the.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Phantom of the Opera right now.
Love you, Jay.
Speaker 3 (50:49):
I love you.
Jay, I just think it's so funnylike the, the, the trends that
happen, like seven wood bigtrend recently, mini drive so
many people big all it takes.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
All it takes is just for one person to like something
to hit, start touting it andand all of a sudden be like oh,
if it works for him, it's gonna,you know, yeah, gotta work for
me, yeah there he is, jeremy.
Speaker 3 (51:17):
I I mean, I do think the r7 mini driver looks pretty
sick, though.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
So I was I think I was in love with the r7 quad and
so yeah, I'm I'm excited to seewhat this looks like for sure.
Yeah, I'm really curious aboutit.
I don't think I have a spot forit in my bag at all.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
I don't either.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
I definitely want to see it.
I could hit the AI Smoke reallywell off the tee, Like really
well off the tee.
Speaker 3 (51:43):
But here's the thing is the Callaway AI Smoke.
I'm going to cut you off foronce.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
The ai smoke it just looks it looks like a regular
ass.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
Ai smoke like fairway wood or driver like, yeah, cal
or tailor-made is bringing backclassics that people love and
it's getting them rejuvenatedinto buying them.
That's why it is happening likethe the title is driver is just
a mini driver of their currentmodel, but taylormade is
(52:20):
bringing back the classicsbecause it's p, it's it's models
that people fell in love withback in the day.
Speaker 1 (52:27):
That that burner didn't do so well last year,
though.
Speaker 3 (52:30):
Dude, I saw burners, dude all over.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
You know what, though , ricky?
I mean not that Ricky's playinggreat, but Ricky's gaming a
burner.
Speaker 3 (52:39):
Yeah, I mean, but Ricky is a driver off the deck
kind of guy and that probablyfits his bag pretty well.
It's like does it fit in yourbag decently?
Speaker 2 (52:53):
fits his bag pretty well.
It's like does it fit in yourbag decently?
But I can't.
I can't think that the minidrivers and the three woods are
much too, are much different forthese guys no, I don't think so
.
Speaker 3 (53:00):
Not the pros, don't?
It's the?
Speaker 2 (53:01):
same.
Yeah, I mean it's the same.
It's just it's super easy tohit off the t.
That's yeah, that thing.
Speaker 1 (53:08):
If you struggle with the driver, it's super easy to
hit it off the tee.
Speaker 3 (53:12):
Or if you can't hit a three-wood off the tee.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
You'll be able to hit this off the tee.
So I could hit it off the teeto save my life.
Speaker 3 (53:19):
I do think TaylorMade is doing very well.
They're bringing back nostalgiawith current technology and
that's the way to do it.
It's not follow the trend.
Speaker 2 (53:30):
That's the way to do it.
Speaker 3 (53:31):
It's not follow the trend, a way to do capitalize on
nostalgia.
Speaker 2 (53:34):
That's why these guys are definitely a way to do it.
For sure, it's a way to do.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
I don't think it's the way to do it.
I it's not the way it's a it'sa great release.
They're gonna sell a ton ofthem because that driver was
super popular back in the day.
Speaker 3 (53:47):
Oh, it's gonna kill it.
It's gonna kill it all it.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
It's going to kill it , all it's going to take is
somebody to put a driver, take adriver out of their bag and put
the mini driver in and win amajor with it.
And then all of a sudden, thefucking floodgates are open.
Speaker 3 (54:01):
All you need is a mini driver off the deck like
cool little stinger cutter nextto the hole.
Speaker 1 (54:12):
Sold.
You know know, and everybody'sgonna buy it.
It's happening in oakmont, yeah, probably good, uh, all right,
we got guys, got anything else?
Speaker 2 (54:21):
I think, I think covered everything that I wanted
to chat about um the club pgauh professional championship was
this week and unfortunately uh,unfortunately uh the friend of
the family, kyle mendoza, didnot do very well he made the cut
.
Um, but uh, from what I heard,they had uh, very, uh, very
(54:43):
tough wins the last few days andI was watching a little bit of
it today yeah, so he missed it.
But uh, blocky's back in, soyeah, you're gonna see some
blocky love.
And then the guy who won lasttime I checked he was up by 10.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
So he just obliterated the field.
No, it was a, it was a four,four for one playoff really yeah
, four for one playoff.
Then it went for for a two forone and it was some guy.
He looked like he was in his60s.
Speaker 2 (55:13):
To win or just to get in?
Speaker 1 (55:14):
To win.
Speaker 2 (55:16):
Oh man, because I saw the leaderboard and maybe I saw
it wrong, but they said one guywas at 17 under and the next
guy was at seven under.
What was the winning score?
I?
Speaker 1 (55:24):
don't remember.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
I was just watching the playoff because it was a
train wreck.
I must have saw somethingfucked up then, yeah it was a
train wreck.
Speaker 1 (55:37):
The older gentleman got kind of a funky swing but he
used to be on tour.
He's played in like 14 majors.
He's been in golf forever andthe other guy was a younger
guy's first time, uh, getting toplay in the in the major.
So it was.
It was cool how it happened,but yeah, it was it was a shit
(55:57):
show.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
I have tyler tyler winning it by 10.
Still.
That's right, right on the pgawebsite 15, maybe I'm, maybe
it's something else.
Speaker 1 (56:05):
what was going on in florida that it was been?
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Yeah, that's what they're doing the PGA
Professional Championship.
I don't know if you can see it,but yeah, that's the score.
First place 15 under.
Second place 5 under.
Not to play it Maybe not whatthe hell was I watching earlier
today then, Maybe you'rewatching the seniors or
something.
Speaker 1 (56:24):
Maybe that's what it was.
No, because it was a young guy.
Speaker 2 (56:26):
You said some 60-year-old guy, dude, he was
old.
I was like, who is this?
Speaker 1 (56:31):
dude.
Who is this dude?
Now I'm going to have to goback and look.
Speaker 3 (56:34):
Jermaine Poblano bro.
Speaker 1 (56:36):

Speaker 3 (56:36):

shared.

Now I've got to figure out whatthe hell that was yeah.
Speaker 2 (56:54):
I'm curious to see what kind of playoff you were
looking at.
Speaker 1 (56:57):
Maybe it was some old shit, because they were.
I know you were saying they hadweather issues.
Speaker 2 (57:04):
It was on Golf Channel earlier today.
Yeah.
It looked like Florida 4th at 4under Tied for 3rd.

time, never seen this.
So, uh, wednesday morning, wego out, we're playing legacy,
and uh, we're on the fourth hole, the downhill par four, and um,
uh, jeremy and trey were paying, playing from the tips and john
(10:57):
and I were playing up a box andand we're all pretty much in
the same area off the tee onthat hole, and John and I over
in the in the rough, and we seea, a road runner, come running
out of a bush with a baby rabbitin his beak.
Nice, and I was like Whoa, Ididn't.
I knew they ate, you know, ratsand lizards, but rabbit.
(11:20):
And so I said, hey, he scaredit and and it dropped it.
And then the the other, theadult rabbits, came out and were
like trying to, you know, fendoff, you know, I mean, they got
nothing.
All they could do is pat themwith their paws, you know they
really can't do anything and uh,so they, the little baby hops
back into the bushes.
(11:41):
And I was like, wow, that wasfreaking wild.
So, uh, we, you know, the otherguys hit.
And then john says to me, hegoes, dude, he got it.
And I'm like what?
And we look, and sure enough,he went back in the bush, got it
and was running across thefairway with it to the other
side and he sets up on thelittle berm up there and he's
(12:02):
taking his head and he'sslamming the fucking rabbit into
the ground and he killed it.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It was like holy shit , I've never, never seen a a
roadrunner do that before I'mlike you used to be my one of my
favorite birds, but now you'rea little terrorist you're an
asshole maybe all courses arelaced with game, you know that's
like you know, if I washomeless, I would just camp out
(12:27):
next to a golf course, and thenI you know, it's the bunnies.
Yeah, birds, bunnies, yeahexactly, cook them up in like a
little garbage, can grill yeah,keep them in the cooler from the
, the fairway that the fromthat's like a nature is metal
moment you saw there should havecome.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I was no, I said I go hang on it because trey was
talking to me.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I'm like hang on, a second trey, I'm recording a
wild kingdom moment.
And I was like oh, treyprobably doesn't know what wild
kingdom is, but yeah, it was itwas wild I've never I mean I've
seen.
I've seen, you know, a rabbitget a full-grown rabbit get
taken by a hawk seen that happenat at uh royal links on number
(13:10):
seven, when you're going awayfrom the clubhouse, those
red-tailed hawks that lived overon those foam poles used to
watch them shred rabbits in thefairways all the time.
Easy pickings, easy picket.
But I've never seen.
I've never seen a roadrunner goafter a baby rabbit.
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
That's pretty cool to see that it was wild.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Legacy.
I had to defend Legacy in theFacebook Las Vegas Friends chat
because it's here right now.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
And I like Legacy.
I remember Legacy back in theday when it was gorgeous, and
every time I'm out there, that'sall I have visions of.
But you know they're goingthrough some shit right now and
you know I was talking with Treythe golf Trey, not our friend
Trey there at Legacy and he toldme he's like hey, I'm going to
(14:02):
give you a heads up.
We got some rough patches.
You know we've had some waterissues, some irrigation issues,
so I just want to give you aheads up.
I said well, I appreciate that,thank you for telling me that,
but look at here, that's Legacy,that's number five, that's the
par five.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
That's the irrigation issues.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Well, this is the good, I'll say.
It doesn't look bad.
No, and that's the thing yougot to take the good with the
bad.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I don't have a bad photo.
I didn't take a bad photo Okay.
So that doesn't look bad.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
No, and you can see the lines on the green and
there's some areas that areabsolutely fantastic and there's
some areas that are absolutelytrashed and unfortunately,
unfortunately, most of thoseareas that are bad are on the
greens right now.
So it's it's, it's tough forthem and it sucks because
(14:56):
everybody's charging prime raceright now because the weather
and and they just can't, and Ifeel bad for them.
But you know they they'retrying.
They're trying really hard.
It's not like they don't wantthe course to be good, and
that's the thing.
The Las Vegas golf groups and.
I was just talking with RobbieNick a little while ago because
(15:17):
apparently Cascada has losttheir greens.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Really, really.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
TBC Vegas has lost their greens and I told him I'm
like, yeah, t vegas has losttheir greens, uh.
But I told him I'm like, yeah,tbc vegas has lost their greens,
but palm valley is primo rightnow it's like go go figure, go
out to coyote springs.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I know it's a drive, but it's maculate out there yeah
, they're punching next tuesdaytoo I saw that yeah, yeah
Speaker 1 (15:41):
um national is in great shape.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Their greens were great and we played in the
afternoon.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I mean we did off at two so they were baked but they
were still still rolling, great.
And but those Las Vegas golfgroup and everybody, how are the
greens?
How are the greens?
How are the greens?
And it's like, yeah, I get it,you want to be able to putt on
nice greens, but yeah, I mean,not every course.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Not every course is shadow creek and so high, that's
what everybody cares about isthe greens, and and and and
courses need to invest in thatarea to.
I mean, you'll bring peopleback, you'll get people to book,
you'll get people coming backjust because of your greens.
Nobody really cares aboutanything else besides the greens
.
You know, because that's whereyou score and if it's like
(16:29):
bumping, they're like and now itwas green, you know it's but
it's easy to.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's easy to crap on greens, you know, and I it's
like I don't know.
Yeah, it would be nice ifeverybody had pristine greens
like piute yeah, I meaneverybody goes through issues.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I mean it's it's tough to maintain a golf course.
It takes a lot of time andpatience and especially a lot of
freaking money, and when youhave issues, uh, like irrigation
issues for instance, it can betwo or three days and you've
already kind of already in thefirst process to losing your
greens.
Yeah, so you know what happens.
(17:09):
It happens to the best.
Look at pinehurst.
They actually shut down thisweek.
They shut down number four.
Number four is getting a fullgreen restoration.
From what I read.
I'm not sure if that's 100%true, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I was like and that's not too long after they did it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's a year out of a major yeah, I mean that's one
of the biggest resorts in thecountry, if not the biggest golf
resort in the country, and soyou know they got a shit ton of
money.
So for them to lose greens likethat, you know it's like.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I said shit happens, it happens.
And you know, we had a crazyhot spell that came through and
then it got cold after that andit's like we haven't had a
spring.
It's been windy as hell.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, I'm wondering how much the wind has dried out
a lot of these greens, I wonderif a lot of these courses are
having to overwater to try tokeep a little moisture in them.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I know, like I said, we played National, we teed off
at 2, and we played like fourhours At 6 o'clock.
The bunkers were hard as rocksand you know we've played out
there in the morning and thebunkers are fantastic, but it
was bad.
I mean, it was hard, but I meanit's going to happen, you know,
(18:24):
and the greens were burned alittle bit but they still rolled
good.
I just feel bad.
You know people forget thatLegacy shut down for a little
while because they you know,somebody bought it was going to
try and put houses out there,the same assholes that bought
prim.
But, um, you know, and when youturn those, those water valves
off and there's no waterlubricating those seals, and
(18:46):
then they dry out and then youturn it back on, it goes south
fast.
Yeah, it can.
So I mean it's a struggle andhats off to the greenskeepers
that I was telling people, hey,be lucky, we still have legacy,
right?
Yeah, there was a time when wedidn't Be grateful and you know
(19:09):
they're not.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah, and who's to say that in a year or two it
might not be open?
I mean, we're losing golfcourses quick in Vegas and
unfortunately, with the qualityof golf courses and the price,
the surge in pricing and howpopular it is, it's tough to
find a tee time and not payunder $100 dollars anymore
that's just for local stuff yeahI couldn't imagine paying the
(19:36):
out-of-town rates to play someof the quality of some of these
courses well, I know what theycharged us I know what they
charged the locals or thenon-locals.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
That went out in front of us and I was like whoo
yeah, I would not be happy likeyeah, fuck vegas.
Yeah exactly it was.
We were, uh, we were at dinner,uh, on wednesday.
At that night, uh, I took joe'sadvice and went to um, what was
(20:04):
it called?
I got the menu here.
I can't remember what it wascalled uh, but cleaver, cleaver,
yeah, cleaver, yep, yep, yepwhat it's called uh, cleaver,
cleaver, yeah, cleaver, yep, yep, yep, uh went to cleaver and uh
, I shared this photo with youguys, not that one, this one, uh
, please remove that photo,thank you this one right here uh
, this is the menu and they'vegot the different temperatures
(20:25):
you can see here, and the bestone is well done, burnt, burnt
and pointless.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Pointless.
Seriously they might as welljust get medium, well and well
done off of there.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, my goodness, great piece of meat, great
atmosphere had a blast.
But across from us, where wewere sitting, there was a table
of 10 guys.
And I look over and I'm like,oh, golfer.

So, uh, erica just landed andshe was on her way there.
So Brooklyn and I are sittingat the table and we're having
some bread, and so I was just,you know, just listening yeah,
trying to figure out where theyplayed what was going on where
they're from.
It sounded like they were allfrom Tennessee and, yeah, they
were having a good time.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Golf trips to.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Vegas still take place, even with all these
insane rates.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Oh, for sure, For sure.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Mike BGC said zero rates for tourists under $100.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah speaking of what?
Did you see that the tourismrate dropped in Vegas this month
?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
yep it's happening?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Canada, canada, oh, canada is not coming here
because they're boycotting theUS.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Oh, jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
There's a significant amount of Canadian tourists
that come here that are notcoming now.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Okay, get the Oilers or the Habs or the Maple Leafs,
they'll come.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
We'll see you soon.
We can do this next round andplay Edmonton.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
We'll see how many Canadians come.
They will.
The people that we've hung outwith and seen that were at games
that were Canadians they'retalking about.
We do the 50-50 raffle.
They're like oh yeah, this isgreat.
It's so cheap.
For me, it's a great way to winmoney.
(22:35):
So, yeah, all right, let's seewhat do we got next.
All right, so we've got alittle bit of the Grass League.
Oh yeah, so Grass League isgoing to be on YouTube tomorrow,
and then Peacock the finalthing thing, or their?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
dollar isn't worth it .
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, uh, oh, robbie's watching.
Hey, robbie, let me talk aboutyou baby.
Uh, so it's.
Yeah, streaming on peacock.

Uh, gl Glenn's daughter'splaying in it.
She's on a team, they havequite a few teams on it and
(23:15):
Michael Block's on the team.
There's a handful of pros outthere, like I said, michael
Herrera absolute stick he'splaying in it.
What are you laughing at, joe?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Fernando, my homie that I work with.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
He said we don't need money.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Money is dumb money.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Money is dumb, money is dumb, all right, uh.
So lpga, black desert uh,second chance for black desert
to be on tv.
Uh, I think we all agree thatthey did not do the best job
when the PGA Tour was there lastfall.
Didn't really showcase a lot ofthe holes.
No need for that.
(23:57):
Oh, my goodness, yes, well, noneed for that type of language.
We'll get into that in just onesecond.
Let me finish with BlackRock.
We'll go back to it.
So this is another opportunityfor BlackRock to get some eyes
on it.
Uh, hopefully they have alittle bit more coverage, they
see a little bit more holes.
Uh, I'm looking forward towatching this one.
(24:20):
It would be nice, because thelpga always comes on late in the
evening, especially being onthe west coast event, uh, so
maybe get some live holes, uh,instead of the tape delay stuff
that we occasionally get shaftedon with that.
If you're interested inchecking out Black Desert, which
I highly recommend, go do it.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Black Desert is amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
It's legit.
It should be on TV.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
We got in at the perfect time too.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It was nice and cheap .
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Nice and cheap and nothing in the trailer for the
pro shop free tacos pretty goodafterwards.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I really, really want to play Entrada man.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
We need a break.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
We need a break, oh yeah, so Chris Torres brought
this up.
No need for that type oflanguage.
This was hilarious.
You want to talk about firstimpressions?
I have never played golf withChris.
He's come over.
I've done some club work forhim.
Um, we've always chatted aboutgetting out, but it's never
(25:55):

, and he told me he goes.
He told me he goes.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yeah, we'll get out again, just probably a month,
four weeks in advance um and uh,him and uh, is it?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
no, honey kevin and honey kevin and vj they were
mccallan fame mccallan and anduh, I was walking me and julian
were walking over to the startershack to let him know that we
were leaving and I see a nationlogo on a bag and I was like oh,
nation said torres would likethat.
Well, it was his bag.
I didn't know.
I go around the corner and vjstanding at the starter shack
(26:33):
and I'm like, hey, what's goingon?
and uh, I turn around andthere's chris and I'm like, oh,
what's up?
And and they were getting readyto go out and I said, uh, how
many people you got?
And, um, he said there's justthree of us.
I said I'm gonna join you.
You know, uh, julian was gonnaget a ride with trey, so I
didn't have to drop him off.
I said let me go park the carand I'll meet you guys on the
first tee.
(26:54):
So I never played with Chris,never played with Kevin.
I see Vijay, he's in the VGN.
I haven't played with him in around.
So it was a good time and wewere having fun.
We were having a blast andKevin forgot his golf clubs.
He opens up his trunk and wewere having fun, we were having
a blast and, uh, kevin forgothis golf clubs.
He, he opens up his trunk andthere's no clubs in it.
(27:16):
So he had to get a rental set.
And if you know, if you knowrental sets, they, they're
shovels, they're they're superlofted, super strong lofted
shovels.
And he was smashing the ball,like smashing the ball, but it
was going all over the place,right, and the group in front of
(27:36):
us, they weren't playing fast,they weren't playing slow, they
were just.
You know there was a group infront of them as well, and you
know we weren't really goinganywhere.
They were just there they werejust there.
And when we were on the secondhole, and when we were on the
second hole, somebody playingsix hit over the hole through
the number seven tee box,through the number three tee box
(28:01):
, the par three, and came on thecart path Right On two.
Yeah, Jesus.
The three tee box.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
You know how the three and seven tee box are side
by side.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, so they hit over the six green, through the
seven tee box, through the twotee box, onto the car path and
it rolled down by the ditch andwe were like, holy shit, never
seen that happen.
Oh, but wait we did see ithappen again because when Nahani
got to that hole, he did theexact same thing oh shit he hits
(28:40):
a high fade.
I won't go as far as saying it'sa slice.
He hits a high slice and itdidn't slice.
It went straight through,yelled four and like, landed
right next to the dude, likeright next to him, bounced
through the trees when you knowit was right there.
I was like holy shit, right.
And then we get to 10 and ithappens again.
(29:05):
Well, if you know, on 10, 11t-box is to the left and back
pulled it so yeah, he, it didn't, it didn't fade again and
landed over by them and sothey're ready.
These guys are done, they'redone right.
And I'm like, oh, my god herewe go right but then I remember,
(29:28):
I mean, Chris is a big, bigmotherfucker.
He you know, he, he packs some,some size with him and uh, we
pull in there, I pull up and Iwas just trying to diffuse the
situation, you know, and andthey knew who it was and and so
(29:48):
I just go up and I'm like, hey,apologize about that.
He goes I don't want yourfucking apology, just don't do
it again If you can't hit thefucking ball straight.
Chris goes there's no need forthat type of language and it
just like it just like made themcower down, it was.
It was just like a totaldiffusing statement, you know.
And they were just like okay,yeah, okay, we're out of here.
(30:15):
And uh, yeah, it was, it was uh, it was a fun moment.
And then, um on, on 16, he, uh,he put one onto eastern and it
rushed our traffic and he hit itand it was, it was a no doubter
.
You know, northbound third laneis where it was headed.
(30:37):
Yes, and I just turned aroundand went please sweet, baby
jesus, please sweet baby jesus,don't hit a car, don't hit a car
, yeah didn't.
He didn't hit a car.
So we were like and then chrisgoes, I'm not even teeing up,
uh-uh, no, let's just go, I'lldrop on the other side.
I'm not even, nope.
Drop on by the green.
Yep, nope, I'm done.
(30:58):
It was oh, but he did it on13-2, the short par four, the
little dog leg, one by the water.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, he pulls out driver and, uh, hits it to the
bathroom rough day and bj goes.
Dude, you've been hitting thethree wood, great and and on now
.
Now you're gonna pull out thedriver.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Speaking of this, like I mean like first
impression what situation do youguys consider when you're like
I'm gonna bring my clubs or I'mnot going to bring my clubs,
Like what is the deciding factor?
Like I know, I know you playedrental clubs in Hawaii, I mean
Matt, I mean, was it because youwere going to play one round or
(31:46):
because I would love my golfclubs through the back alleys of
New York.
If I'm playing Beth Page, Imean if I'm playing a Rainer,
what's the deciding factor for?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
you.
I didn't bring them to Hawaiibecause there's a fee every time
you hop islands, and so therewas a fee to get them to the
main island, then a fee to hopan island, a fee to hop an
island back, and then a fee toget them back the main island,
then a fee to hop island a feeto hop island back and then so
it's money.
So money is the issue.
I was.
I was like I'm not going to pay300 bucks to haul my clubs when
I can rent a set.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
It's money, it's money yeah absolutely.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
That's just.
That's a waste of money in myopinion.
Yeah, um situation you knowlike we're going to oahu next
month it's almost may so in juneum going to one island, and if
I, I'm gonna reach out see if Icould find a place to play, and
if so, I'll bring my clubs Ijust think it's interesting
every time you like, if you'regonna go travel somewhere, it's
(32:42):
like that.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
That's like the first question, like where could I
play?
Uh, who do I know there?
What course?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
can I play?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
robbie's got a question yeah, I did, I did.
Yes, yeah, I did rob.
If you want to know about it,I'll tell you all about it.
Um, but, dan, like for you,because, like for me, it's like
I will do everything in my powerto bring my own clubs and I
will lug it with, uh, thestroller and the, the, the, the
(33:15):
camper bed and all the kidsclothes, and it's like my
fingers will hurt, like it'shard not to bring your own clubs
.
I mean, what's the definer foryou, for matt?
It's money, of course I'm asnobbish golfer.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
I will refuse.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I think we all are.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I refuse to ever buy rental golf clubs.
If I were on a trip for twoweeks and I was only playing one
round of golf club one round ofgolf I'm bringing my clubs.
There's no Now.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
when I went to band the first time I went to band
and we were on a road trip wherewe we went to crater Lake,
stayed at Lake Victoria or thelake right above it for a little
while, went over to Bandon,stayed the night, I played
Bandon and then we went up thecoast up to Newport, Lincoln and
then back down.
I brought my clubs.
(34:03):
So I mean that was one roundand I lugged them all around
nevada, oregon, idaho,washington and california.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
so yeah, I just I think it's dumb to pay 300 bucks
yeah, I can understand that ifyou're doing puddle jumpers and
they charge you every time fordoing that shit yeah and you
weren't playing that much golf,that part I can understand and I
would probably I might considerrenting, but yeah, if, like I
said, if I was only gone for twoweeks, I'm only playing one
(34:33):
round, I'm taking my clubsalmost 99.9 of the times
somebody put in the chat thatjoe's on mute, so he'll take
himself off mute because he'snot listening to me oh yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I think it's also different if, if you're going to
band in, you're going to getyou, you probably have the
option of good clubs.
If you're going to stream song,you got the option of good
clubs.
If you're going to the middleof nowhere.
The one time I ever did rentalclubs was in baltimore at the
timbers course and it was like abig five set of senior flex
(35:03):
wilson's and that gave me a badtaste in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I mean, I wasn't staff.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I wasn't the greatest player at that time.
No, it wasn't even staff.
There was no staff on.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
It was just Wilson.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
It was just Wilson.
It was probably sponsored byBig Five.
It probably had a Big Five logoon it before the staff was on
there.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Don't knock the Wilsons bro.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
No, Wilsons are fantastic.
When I started my junior golfcareer.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I got a set of bernard langer signature wilson
irons no dude wilson's fantasticeight years old like 12
wilson's great everybody's assin southern california but this
was the like.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
It was like the pre-packaged, like buy it in a
box, you know kind of, you know,like a walmart, like a walmart
yeah, it was like a walmartwilson, it was it wasn't the
staff wilson.
It's like you know, the one boxfits all kind of wilson, you
know like.
But no it depends where you'regoing, I think, and you know, if
(36:06):
you're playing some little muniin alabama where bob lost his
range finder like yeah, rentalmeadows 100.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah, the meadows.
They're still sending it.
I would love to see the meadowsstill sucking shit.
It's still stuck in the mail.
It's still sitting in a boxbehind the counter they haven't,
they want it.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, they have it underneath the fucking host the
coast no dude, they sold.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Somebody sold that on whatnot already for sure?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
it was a display model only until, like alright,
he quit calling, we can sell itnow yeah, for sure, but no, I
think that's it.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
For me it's like it depends where I'm going.
If it's, you know, a little parthree course in the middle of
uh, alabama, um, I probablywon't lug it around, but if it's
uh somewhere I want to play.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
That I'm, I played, I played twice in hawaii with
with rental sets.
I brought my clubs to no.
I played with a rental set inmaui at Kapalua also.
They were Titleist.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
AB2s.
I wouldn't do that.
I would not do that.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Yeah, but you got to understand.
Then we had five people.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
It was different times.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Different times.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Different times.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Nowadays, you would never do that, though.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
The two other times that I played with rental sets
was at Kona and Makai, and Ibroke 80 both times with rental
sets and regular flex rentalsets, and that's when you come
home and you're like am.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
I playing the wrong, fucking irons.
I got to buy that Wilson all inone box from Big Five.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Walmart in cap.
It's just blue light special,but nobody knows what that is
it's funny, man uh, blue lightspecials kmart.
We know that well, you do noteverybody does.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I think it's interesting, like the the
thought process behind if you'regoing on a trip, like if you're
going to bring your own clubsand and what determines it
that's.
I was just curious about that.
I know all of us probably would, but I'm curious about it that
is a good question.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Anybody, if anybody wants to chime in, what is the
point where you go not bringingthe clubs?
I would, I would be curious.
Yeah, let's see.
All right, let's see.

Tbc vegas coming up really soon.
Let's see what else was it.
Oh, um, these things right here, these grips no, they the rue
(43:44):
grips the rue grips from gripmaster.
I know my golf spy was talkingabout them.
These are the grips that minwooplays, although the ones he
plays are a little differentfrom what I remember, unless
they've just worn out completely.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
But holy, holy crap yeah, they're pretty wild, they.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Yeah, joe yeah, joe was at at.
R saw him In pure.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
Hittin' Greens fashion.
I just popped out of nowhere,Correct Just popped.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Just came out of a hole on the golf course.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
It's correct.
It's true.
I didn't tell him I was coming,I just popped out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
I do got to say, though, those butt caps on those
grips are horrible.
Yeah, it's a little much.
Yeah, that looks.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
It's a little butt cap-y.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Somebody made that shit in their garage.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Yeah, it's a little, but you know what?
You don't see it when you'reholding it.
You're right.
But wow, you want to talk aboutsticky.
I mean like afterwards yourhands, like oh, you feel it, you
feel it, yeah it is you gotsome residue.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
Yeah, so Not like main tarp but you can feel it a
little bit.
Yeah, little Barry Bonds actionLittle pine tarp.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Yeah, super tacky, super, mega, tacky, mega tacky.
So I have those on my wedgesnow and my irons and one on my
driver, so uh, full golf, nerdfull golf.
I really like how stable it isin your hand.
(45:24):
I mean no glove either.
Fuck a glove, you don't need aglove you don't?
those are bobby specials I mean,it's you swing the club and if
you want to like drop it out ofyour hand, you like hit a bad
shot, it doesn't fall out ofyour hand.
Yeah, um.
So yeah, I've gone to that.
(45:45):
And then the other big thingthat happened um, the the, yeah,
I, I put the mg3s back in thebag for a little, yeah, a little
bit.
Here I saw oh you know what, Ican bring that up too, let me
(46:05):
show you this and and basicallywent full golf.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Nerd, the stat nerd.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Uh, yeah, stat nerd that I am, uh, look at this
right, uh, so this is my man,not so company anymore this is
using the clipped app where youtrack your stats and this is my
most uh, the area of my gamethat needs to improve the most,
(46:33):
that can be improved thequickest, if that makes sense.
Uh, so this is around the green, but in the rough one year
trend and right where that fallsoff.
Uh, that, that's when theCallaways went in the bag.
So, yeah, my shot quality was alot higher in this one segment.
Speaker 3 (46:55):
I'm curious Is it the clubs itself, or is it the way
the club looks to you?
Speaker 1 (47:03):
I don't know.
I'd be curious.
I really liked the MG3s and Inever thought I would.
I was gonna switch to thecallaways.
But I really like the way thecallaways look.
I I like that blackhead, I likethe interaction with the ground
.
But you know, I, I I've had onechip in, one chip in with the
(47:27):
calloway and your calloway, your, your tailorlor, mazer like
marked up, so they're dashed,they're, they're they're notched
a lot um and the one chip inhappened at national, so it was,
you know, really recent um so,uh, yeah, I gave joe some.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
I gave joe some mg4s.
If you want to buy them onwhatnot upgrade?
Speaker 3 (47:50):
Go bookmark the show.
We're going to try and do itSaturday night.
If you need a referral code,you get $15 towards your first
purchase Hit me up.
Speaker 1 (47:59):
We need a Whatnot ad Joe Also fellas.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
I don't know if you've seen them or not, but
pictures of the MG5s came out.
Did you see those a?
Speaker 3 (48:07):
couple days ago.
I did not see those.
No, I did see those Pretty sexy.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
I didn't see the face .
I didn't see face or address.
All I saw was the back of thewedge, but it looks good.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
Well, I put the Nippon Modus 105s in the irons.
I'm pretty happy with how theirons are feeling right now,
especially after the lieadjustment and having that shaft
in there.
The LAs just weren't kickingfor me at the bottom, and so you
(48:37):
know I have those LAs in theCallaway's wedges too.
So I said, well, you know, Ifound the 115 Modus Wedgeflex
shafts.
I said, oh, let's build up theMG3s and see what happens.
Geekens, yeah, that was thatrabbit hole I dug a couple weeks
ago, but I'm pretty happy withhow everything is rolling right
(49:05):
now.
So we shall see.
I'm looking forward to Sunday.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
So you don't have any Modus shafts in your Callaway
wedges.
You're not going to try that tosee if maybe that changes.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
It depends on how these go.
If I'm seeing some positivethings, I may give it a try.
I can always just pull one headand swap it out and see I hit
my 50 more than anything else,but I'm excited about it.
Swap it out and see, you know,because I hit my 50 more than
anything else, um, but I, yeah,I'm, I'm excited about it, but
we'll see.
Okay, we, we shall see.
(49:37):
I had them at, I didn't play.
I played with the callaways atnational and then built them up,
uh, friday night.
So I that I didn't have them.
I didn't have the callawayswith me at Rio, I just brought a
couple wedges.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
Hey, are you guys going to buy the R7 mini driver?
Speaker 2 (49:57):
I have no use for it.
Speaker 1 (49:59):
No desire whatsoever.
What's up with?
Speaker 3 (50:01):
the mini driver craze .
They're easy to hit.
I mean so it started with.
Taylormade started bringingthis shit out right, and then
company the company did it.
And then title list.
Title has title list driver.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Yeah, they have a gt.
They have a gt mini driver, Iknow, but I'm talking about like
before before recently thecurrent situation um, I think
they did in the TSR, I think.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
I think I might have sent one to Jeremy.
Jeremy would know.
Speaker 3 (50:37):
Jeremy would know I might have sent a picture of a
TSR.
He's got a big old band-aid onhis wrist.
Right now he's like the.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Phantom of the Opera right now.
Love you, Jay.
Speaker 3 (50:49):
I love you.
Jay, I just think it's so funnylike the, the, the trends that
happen, like seven wood bigtrend recently, mini drive so
many people big all it takes.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
All it takes is just for one person to like something
to hit, start touting it andand all of a sudden be like oh,
if it works for him, it's gonna,you know, yeah, gotta work for
me, yeah there he is, jeremy.
Speaker 3 (51:17):
I I mean, I do think the r7 mini driver looks pretty
sick, though.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
So I was I think I was in love with the r7 quad and
so yeah, I'm I'm excited to seewhat this looks like for sure.
Yeah, I'm really curious aboutit.
I don't think I have a spot forit in my bag at all.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
I don't either.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
I definitely want to see it.
I could hit the AI Smoke reallywell off the tee, Like really
well off the tee.
Speaker 3 (51:43):
But here's the thing is the Callaway AI Smoke.
I'm going to cut you off foronce.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
The ai smoke it just looks it looks like a regular
ass.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
Ai smoke like fairway wood or driver like, yeah, cal
or tailor-made is bringing backclassics that people love and
it's getting them rejuvenatedinto buying them.
That's why it is happening likethe the title is driver is just
a mini driver of their currentmodel, but taylormade is
(52:20):
bringing back the classicsbecause it's p, it's it's models
that people fell in love withback in the day.
Speaker 1 (52:27):
That that burner didn't do so well last year,
though.
Speaker 3 (52:30):
Dude, I saw burners, dude all over.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
You know what, though , ricky?
I mean not that Ricky's playinggreat, but Ricky's gaming a
burner.
Speaker 3 (52:39):
Yeah, I mean, but Ricky is a driver off the deck
kind of guy and that probablyfits his bag pretty well.
It's like does it fit in yourbag decently?
Speaker 2 (52:53):
fits his bag pretty well.
It's like does it fit in yourbag decently?
But I can't.
I can't think that the minidrivers and the three woods are
much too, are much different forthese guys no, I don't think so
.
Speaker 3 (53:00):
Not the pros, don't?
It's the?
Speaker 2 (53:01):
same.
Yeah, I mean it's the same.
It's just it's super easy tohit off the t.
That's yeah, that thing.
Speaker 1 (53:08):
If you struggle with the driver, it's super easy to
hit it off the tee.
Speaker 3 (53:12):
Or if you can't hit a three-wood off the tee.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
You'll be able to hit this off the tee.
So I could hit it off the teeto save my life.
Speaker 3 (53:19):
I do think TaylorMade is doing very well.
They're bringing back nostalgiawith current technology and
that's the way to do it.
It's not follow the trend.
Speaker 2 (53:30):
That's the way to do it.
Speaker 3 (53:31):
It's not follow the trend, a way to do capitalize on
nostalgia.
Speaker 2 (53:34):
That's why these guys are definitely a way to do it.
For sure, it's a way to do.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
I don't think it's the way to do it.
I it's not the way it's a it'sa great release.
They're gonna sell a ton ofthem because that driver was
super popular back in the day.
Speaker 3 (53:47):
Oh, it's gonna kill it.
It's gonna kill it all it.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
It's going to kill it , all it's going to take is
somebody to put a driver, take adriver out of their bag and put
the mini driver in and win amajor with it.
And then all of a sudden, thefucking floodgates are open.
Speaker 3 (54:01):
All you need is a mini driver off the deck like
cool little stinger cutter nextto the hole.
Speaker 1 (54:12):
Sold.
You know know, and everybody'sgonna buy it.
It's happening in oakmont, yeah, probably good, uh, all right,
we got guys, got anything else?
Speaker 2 (54:21):
I think, I think covered everything that I wanted
to chat about um the club pgauh professional championship was
this week and unfortunately uh,unfortunately uh the friend of
the family, kyle mendoza, didnot do very well he made the cut
.
Um, but uh, from what I heard,they had uh, very, uh, very
(54:43):
tough wins the last few days andI was watching a little bit of
it today yeah, so he missed it.
But uh, blocky's back in, soyeah, you're gonna see some
blocky love.
And then the guy who won lasttime I checked he was up by 10.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
So he just obliterated the field.
No, it was a, it was a four,four for one playoff really yeah
, four for one playoff.
Then it went for for a two forone and it was some guy.
He looked like he was in his60s.
Speaker 2 (55:13):
To win or just to get in?
Speaker 1 (55:14):
To win.
Speaker 2 (55:16):
Oh man, because I saw the leaderboard and maybe I saw
it wrong, but they said one guywas at 17 under and the next
guy was at seven under.
What was the winning score?
I?
Speaker 1 (55:24):
don't remember.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
I was just watching the playoff because it was a
train wreck.
I must have saw somethingfucked up then, yeah it was a
train wreck.
Speaker 1 (55:37):
The older gentleman got kind of a funky swing but he
used to be on tour.
He's played in like 14 majors.
He's been in golf forever andthe other guy was a younger
guy's first time, uh, getting toplay in the in the major.
So it was.
It was cool how it happened,but yeah, it was it was a shit
(55:57):
show.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
I have tyler tyler winning it by 10.
Still.
That's right, right on the pgawebsite 15, maybe I'm, maybe
it's something else.
Speaker 1 (56:05):
what was going on in florida that it was been?
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Yeah, that's what they're doing the PGA
Professional Championship.
I don't know if you can see it,but yeah, that's the score.
First place 15 under.
Second place 5 under.
Not to play it Maybe not whatthe hell was I watching earlier
today then, Maybe you'rewatching the seniors or
something.
Speaker 1 (56:24):
Maybe that's what it was.
No, because it was a young guy.
Speaker 2 (56:26):
You said some 60-year-old guy, dude, he was
old.
I was like, who is this?
Speaker 1 (56:31):
dude.
Who is this dude?
Now I'm going to have to goback and look.
Speaker 3 (56:34):
Jermaine Poblano bro.
Speaker 1 (56:36):
It was Jermaine.
Speaker 3 (56:36):
Poblano.
He is a killer on the course,jermaine Poblano.
Speaker 1 (56:40):
Jeremy got a notification that his photo was
shared.
The IG chat now.
Speaker 2 (56:46):
Yeah, what's up, Jack ?
Speaker 1 (56:52):
Well damn it.
Now I've got to figure out whatthe hell that was yeah.
Speaker 2 (56:54):
I'm curious to see what kind of playoff you were
looking at.
Speaker 1 (56:57):
Maybe it was some old shit, because they were.
I know you were saying they hadweather issues.
Speaker 2 (57:04):
It was on Golf Channel earlier today.
Yeah.
It looked like Florida 4th at 4under Tied for 3rd.
Speaker 1 (57:15):

It is what it is.
Speaker 1 (57:22):
