332: Thrifty Golf - From COVID Golfer to WhatNot Success Story

Send us a text

Ready to dive into the fascinating world where thrifting meets golf? This episode takes you behind the scenes with Thrifty Golf (Tyler), who transformed his pandemic hobby into a full-time vintage golf business on Whatnot.

Tyler's journey begins like many others in 2020—a COVID golfer hunting for decent clubs who accidentally discovered a business opportunity when reselling testing equipment. What makes his story compelling isn't just the business success, but his genuine passion for breathing new life into forgotten golf treasures. "I have this passion for taking the really old stuff that nobody thinks is any good and re-gripping it, cleaning it, and making it shine again," he shares.

We explore the unique appeal of vintage golf gear in a world dominated by mass production. There's something special about owning a piece no one else has—whether it's a Desert Inn hat from Vegas or a Cleveland banger putter soaking in vinegar in Tyler's backyard. For Tyler, the hunt is as rewarding as the find: "I love having people that I can shop for... having that purpose makes sourcing really fun."

The conversation takes fascinating turns through the evolution of golf fashion (those crazy patterns everyone loves now? They're revolutionizing what was once a stuffy, solid-color world), the future of live shopping as retail's next frontier, and the delicate balance between golf tradition and modern accessibility.

Whether you're a vintage enthusiast, a whatnot seller/buyer, or simply curious about how passion projects become full-time gigs, Tyler's insights reveal why golf treasures from yesterday find such resonance with players today.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Thank you.
What is up everybody?
Welcome to the podcast.
Dad is not alone this eveningand I am in control, so welcome.
It's been a while since I'vebeen in control.
How are you guys doing, danJeremy, how are you living this
evening?
Doing good Yep doing well.

(01:02):
Well, we got a special guestthis evening.
He's a banger, if you will.
Thrifty Golf.
Thrifty Golf from Whatnot, andwe've been talking a lot of
Whatnot lately.
I heard a little bit of it.
Yeah yeah, welcome to the show,bro.
Why don't you introduceyourself, tell us what you do

(01:24):
and anything.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
So, yeah, so I go by thrifty.
My real name is Tyler, but mostpeople call me thrifty.
It's kind of weird in thisworld for people to call me
anything besides thrifty.
So thrifty is okay for you guysto totally will respond to.
It's all good.
So I own a small business inmaryland um, just buying and
reselling golf equipment, golfitems, hats, apparel, other

(01:51):
anything really golf related.
Um, I started doing it rightaround covid and did it kind of
more as a side hustle at thetime, a little something extra
for my family.
It was always what you I wouldjoke with my wife.
It paid for the vacations.
So that was a good thing.
And as time went on, it kind ofgrew and grew a little bit more

(02:13):
and more.
I started an Instagram accountto kind of document my finds
from a recommendation of afriend another whatnot guy
currently uh, hit him for golf.
He said man, you find a lot ofcool stuff.
You probably should start an.
Instagram and document it.
And I was like, ah, I'm notreally social media guy.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Like that so I started doing it.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Um, and it was a really good thing that I did,
because shortly after, whatnotwas trying to start and grow the
golf category and they werekind of going around to
different people that seemedlike they did what I did and
what others did, where we wentaround finding golf stuff and we
were reselling it, and sothat'll be July.

(03:00):
This July two years ago thatthey did that Asked me if I
wanted to join.
Didn't really know how it wouldgo, how I would do.
Would I like selling thingslive to people talking to a
camera, like what would that belike?
Um, I was already familiar withwhatnot before.
If I'm talking too much at anypoint too, just just tell me.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
No, no.
The ads on Instagram.
I knew of whatnot because ofthe ads of Instagram, yeah, but
before we go that deep into it,I would like to understand your
golf journey and why is it?
Golf yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
So it's kind of like, actually, as it relates to golf
.
I started playing.
I don't really have muchexperience playing golf.
I started playing golf, uh,when covet hit.
It was always one of thosethings that I had always kind of
meant to do.
I just never really got aroundto doing it.
I thought, man, it would bereally cool to learn how to play
golf and be competent enoughthat you could go out for a work

(04:04):
thing or with the guys.
You wouldn't be a totaldisaster, wouldn't be, you know,
holding everybody up.
It would just be nice to knowenough to be able to go out and
be competent.
That was always my thing.
And then covid happened andnaturally, like myself and so
many other people, um, I boughtthe stupid junkie starter set

(04:24):
from dicks and got some lessonsfrom a buddy of mine who played
golf in college.
Um, and you know, he taught mea few things and I'm not good,
wasn't then still not.
But I fell in love with it andbecame addicted to just going to
the range and hitting balls.
Um, and I really just startedthis piece to the journey

(04:46):
because I didn't really knowwhat type of clubs I liked to
use personally.
So I had watched, you know,youtube Stacked Golf.
Other people were doing the samething and really at the time
Stacked's main motto was likeyou can play golf for a
reasonable amount of money.
I have a background as athrifter.
I can talk more about that, youknow, if we want to get into

(05:08):
that too.
But yeah, um, you know, Iessentially was just buying sets
of irons and taking them to thedriving range.
I'd hit them, see if I likedthem.
And then the first couple timesI was like, well, maybe I'll
try something else.
And then I went to resell themon facebook and I made money
each time and I was like right,okay, this is kind of cool, like
what's going on here.

(05:28):
This is, this is crazy, and theywould sell like immediately and
I'd have some backgroundreselling on eBay and other
places.
So I was like man, maybe Icould like expand this a little
bit.
You know, not quite to theextent that it is now, I never
would have guessed, you know.
Um, so that's kind of how golfstarted for me and I just kind

(05:48):
of fell in love with like theequipment and the clubs and I
have this passion for liketaking the really old stuff that
nobody thinks is any good andkind of re-gripping it and
cleaning it and making it yeahyeah, I forgot about the wedge.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
I'm soaking in vinegar in the backyard
currently.
Uh, I probably should go scrubthat.
But, um, I mean for us here atchasing daylight podcast, we are
like certified golf nerds.
We love the game, we love thehistory, we love playing, we
love, uh, all aspects.
We love the tour.
We talk shit about Livoccasionally, but you know, we

(06:27):
love everything golf and I meanI'm a huge architecture nerd and
we are big guys that you know.
With 2020 COVID coming over, youlot, of, a lot of guys don't

(06:47):
know about the intricacies ofthe game and you found your way
and, like, I've watched yourshow many times and uh, like,
learning about shafts there's,you can go so far down the
rabbit hole with the game righttorque, uh kick point, uh grips,
you do such a good job and II'm actually kind of surprised

(07:08):
that you're a 2020 covid golfer.
Um, yeah, you know, but you dosuch a great job, but, um, so
you don't really play all thatmuch, huh no, don't really have
the time to like until I just Ijust started doing this full
time in April.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Actually, I was working a full time job for the
state government for the pastseven years prior Um, and I was
just trying to do this part timeas a side hustle.
I was literally like killingmyself, trying to make things
both things work really well.
Um, I was like sleeping threehours a night and stuff.

(07:45):
So, because I try to put 110%into everything that I do,
including this, and then youknow, it kind of made sense, we
got to a point where it all kindof made sense.
Yeah, sorry.
I just I saw the little commentpop up.
There's the Cleveland Vast fastvintage banger um.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'm so used to talking with the chat I know, I
know well, we're the, we're thehomies, we're the homies now.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
So you're the ones have to listen to me.
Um, what was I saying?
I'm sorry I I spaced out oh yeahso yeah, so we uh, I talked
with my wife, we figured it outand and uh, yeah, so doing this
full-time now.
My hope is that at some pointyou know, right now I'm in like
an expansion phase of mybusiness I'm trying to scale

(08:33):
more to the point where it makessense that this is a full-time
thing and with that I'm gettingmyself to the point where I'm
stretching myself too thin againjust doing this one business.
So I'm going to have to hirepeople to help me.
I'm eventually going to have toexpand my space, all that sort
of thing, and the hope is thatone day, yes, I do have more

(08:53):
time to play golf.
Yes, I do hope that, because Ido love it and enjoy it.
It's just right now I just don'thave the time to prioritize
playing as a thing, so yeah,yeah, that's really interesting,
right.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
So you come from the aspect of not playing golf very
often and then going into thegolf space on whatnot.
I come from like a golfbackground.
I had my own, I had hittinggreens brand.
I mean, how long have I beendoing?
Three years, you know.
I had shirts.
I did limited drops more thanthat probably right.
So it's like it's veryinteresting, like the, the scope

(09:27):
of things, like a lot ofsellers are coming to the app.
They don't know their stuff butthen they, they sell what's in
their garage and they don't havea brand yet.
And I'm thankful that I have abrand currently.
But the the reason I started isbecause I was grilling some
steaks in the backyard and I waswatching a guy I didn't like.
I was like I'm going in thegarage and I'm selling the stuff

(09:48):
that I have in there.
I don't give a fuck, you know,and it's not easy.
It's not easy.
And respect to all to you.
You just hit a huge milestoneUh, 25 K followers.
Uh left your day job and it'snot easy.
It really is not easy.
And the guys that have comeover to watch me, they've said
that.
They said I don't know how youdo that by yourself, so you're

(10:10):
doing it by yourself.
It's a lot of juggling for sure.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, it's, it's.
You have to be able tomultitask when you run the shows
, and if you're not used todoing it, you know.
I've done it for two years, soI know very well.
I know the intricacies of howthings work.
There's jokes about me knowinghow certain features work and
other guys will never touch them.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
The pinned pin joint.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
I feel like I've gotten it nailed down and others
will not even touch it.
It's tough.
It for sure is tough.
I've had a lot of people saythe same, where they're like I
don't know how you do all thatall at the same time.
Um, it's not easy, man, a lotso it's not easy.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Where does your so like?
Where did your knowledge of thevintage area of golf come from?
Because I mean, you are avintage guy.
Like I spent way too much moneyon this hat but I rock it with
the ultimate pride because it'sVegas, the Desert Inn hat.
But where does that come from?

(11:13):
It's so good.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
I love it.
So I actually have beenthrifting vintage since the
early 2000s.
Before it was cool.
My wife and I in high schoolwould go thrifting and man, the
thrifting world was so differentback then you could go.
I just remember going to we hadlike a little stretch of stores
that we would hit by me andyou'd spend the whole day

(11:38):
thrifting.
Come home with a trash bag for15, 20 bucks.
In the trash bag bag I mean abillion t-shirts loaded up in
that thing and you 'd be luckythese days to get a few t-shirts
for that, just becausethrifting is so huge now um, but
I've been by the pound, by thepound back then, oh man it was,
yeah, 25 cents, 50 cents at-shirt and stuff.

(12:00):
But you know, we used to, weused to do it because i't know,
we didn't know all the lingo ofall of the vintage guys that you
know that there is now, withthe single stitch and the made
in USA tags and all that sort ofthing?

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, I didn't know any of that stuff.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
At the time we just knew that we liked the old 80s
t-shirts because they were supersoft and super thin and that's
what we would always look for.
So like over time that's alwayskind of been a part of me is
going thrifting, looking forcool stuff.
I love the uniqueness ofthrifting for vintage because
I'm not in I'm personally notinto like having tons and tons

(12:38):
of like mass produced stuffbecause same everybody else can
have it right like I could havethe same and not to.
I don't want to get into anyparticular brands, but you know
any big golf manufacturer.
I buy a hat from them today.
I could go tomorrow and seesomebody in the street or at the
golf course has the same exactone I'm wearing.
But if I find that hat thatjoe's wearing right now, what

(13:01):
are the chances that somebodyelse in the world has that same
exact hat on right now?

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Probably pretty slim.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
So the uniqueness of that is the thing that draws me
to it and I love it.
I love it so much Just knowingthat you have something that
could be potentially unique toyou, because all the other ones
may be burned up in a fire, gotthrown away in the trash or
whatever.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
It's just so cool and and you bring.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
You bring so many pieces from years ago back to
life.
You know what I mean.
Like this is probably from whatI mean, I don't know the years
90s, but it was probably sittingin somebody's like closet, you
know and they just, they playedthe round out there, they bought
something and uh, it wassitting in grandpa's closet, you

(13:45):
know, and they just, theyplayed the round out there, they
bought something and uh, it wassitting in grandpa's closet,
you know, and probably dusty orwho knows.
But you bring it back to lifetoo.
That's also a skill in its ownright, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, yeah.
So I learned, um, there's oneparticular guy that's a vintage
guy in Wisconsin.
His name's bread boys vintage.
He's really big into vintagehats and he was on Whatnot and
so I kind of started buying andselling hats a little bit right
before that and I watched hisshow and the guy was like so
knowledgeable about hats ingeneral, not just golf hats, and

(14:19):
I was just like fascinated byhow much knowledge he had.
So I kind of befriended him.
I watched every show he did.
I messaged him, talked with himon instagram.
I asked if he would give me atutorial on how to clean hats,
like really well, because heknew so much about how to clean
them properly without damagingthem and all that kind of stuff.
And so I just became like hisstudent and learned.

(14:41):
He just absorbed everything Icould about the vintage hats and
he wasn't necessarily golf.
I mean I kind of was able tomeld his knowledge of just
vintage hats in general with,like the vintage golf hat market
and kind of combine the two.
And then it kind of turned intothis thing that I did and I was
a part of after that.

(15:01):
But yeah, I mean credit to himbecause a lot of what I know
when it comes to, you know,cleaning and reshaping and
making, bringing them back tolife, as you said was a lot of
just learning from him.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
So I'm I'm curious to hear what you think about, like
the new wave of golf clothing.
Like Marco, like obviouslyloves students.
You said the word students,which made me think of this.
Yeah, you know, students malbonlike.
How do you feel about theup-and-comers right?
Because I'm one of them I'm oneof them.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
I love it.
Yeah, personally I love it.
So I'll talk about what first.
We just talked about hats, solet's talk about hats for a
second.
Yeah, the thing that drives mecrazy about the modern day hats
is that everybody is so intothem right now.
What they don't realize is,essentially every one of the
hats that we're all wearing isthe same exact style as a
vintage hat.

(15:55):
Right?
They all have ropes, they allhave high crowns.
The only difference is thatthey have snapbacks.
Otherwise, because you're theone you're wearing right now has
a leather strap, and that's howthey made the majority of them
well, it's also cardboard toohere.
Yeah, cardboard brim rightbecause that, yeah, you have to
be careful with the cardboardbrims, but for the most part,
the overall style of the hat isliterally a vintage hat.

(16:16):
It's the same thing, except forwhatever is on the front.
The rest of the style of thehat's the same.
Um, so it's.
It's just just funny to me howso many of the guys are just so
into like, oh, I would neverwear a vintage hat, but
meanwhile you're going to wearsomething that has a huge high
front crown and a rope.
It's the same thing.
Hat change, hat change yeah,there you go.

(16:36):
Another vintage.
I love again.
I love the style of all Malabon.
I love you know Jason day goingout there, kind of bringing
some uniqueness to golf.
Yeah, absolutely I love that.
We're kind of getting away fromthe stuffiness and guys are
wearing performance hoodies andstuff like that more often.

(16:58):
I think it's really cool.
Um, and yeah, I mean I justanything that like we're
stepping out of the box with thefashion in golf, I love it.
I think it's great.
I mean I just anything thatlike we're stepping out of the
box with the fashion in golf, Ilove it.
I think it's great.
I mean I've again because someof that, uh, I don't know if you
would call Malbon streetweargolf or how you would describe

(17:19):
that, but like some, some ofthat style of clothing in the
golf space right now is modeledafter vintage.
Like you don't have to totallytwice to do it.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
You know I think it's great, absolutely.
It's so interesting how golfhas changed since the onslaught
of the covid game, right, likeit's changed so much in five
years.
You know golf is now cool.
It wasn't.
I mean, it wasn't cool, it wasstuffy, and you know I still

(17:51):
have.
You know I played a little bitas a kid but you know I remember
, you know it's like I took ashirt in, but now people are
like it's so different and Ithink it's because of the influx
of players, such as yourself,from 2020, and the game has
grown a lot.
We are here on Chase andDaylight Podcast.

(18:13):
We love growing the game right,but we love growing the game
correctly.
I think what's missing in thegame is people aren't teached
the proper etiquette the fixingball marks, filling your divots,
raking your bunkers and that's.
We've seen that in Vegas a lotand, uh, I just wish somebody

(18:35):
would like take hold and, likeyou know what I mean Teach them
the right way.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Yeah, no, I feel, yeah, Um, there is something to
being able to go out with some,some you don't want to just
start playing golf with allnewbies, right, you want to have
some experience, experiencepeople with you when you are
first go out, and that wasalways my thing, like I'm very
much into.
Like when I first wanted tolearn how to play, I told my

(19:07):
friend I was like I want to justgo right to you before I even
swing a club because I want toknow, like I want to be a clean
slate.
I want to not have any, have anybad habits or mistakes or
whatever.
But I also was always kind oflike afraid to go play around
because of the etiquette of golf.
Like I wanted to make sure Iwas doing things the right way.
And I don't, I know noteverybody always thinks about

(19:28):
that, but for me, like, makingsure I do things the right way
is always just part of my life.
So I kind of always wanted tomake sure that I was doing that.
So it was important to me to bewith other people that
understood what doing the rightthing meant.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
And I think that shows in your essence of what
you sell, right Like I've neverseen you sell anything Bad
Birdie, or maybe I have, I have.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
But it's like that is , and that's kind of weird,
right, like the stereotypes ofwhat people wear on the golf
course, like Bad Birdie isassociated with drinking and
being crazy on the golf course,and that's what I love Great
patterns, right.
But it's also it's changed somuch.
And now you're, I saw a polo atWalmart the other day.

(20:23):
It was on clearance.
It looked exactly like a badbirdie t-shirt.
Oh yeah, you know what I mean.
And it's like people are tryingto come into the game or the
golf market.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Now, yeah, and changing up the whole thing,
it's just wow, yeah, we, I'vetalked with a couple griff golf
304, my buddy he's yeah, griff's, he's an OG on the app on
whatnot.
He's one of the first guys tobe on there.
He was selling when therewasn't even a golf category, he
was just selling in sportinggoods.
So he was kind of like atrailblazer for golf Sweet On

(20:55):
whatnot.
But he's a big.
I would say that he's a bougieshirt guy.
And something we've talked abouta lot recently is the fact that
so many of these I would saynot as desirable brands like
walter hagins- yeah, yeah umwhat?
What are some other ones?

Speaker 1 (21:15):
well, stuff you can find on a clearance rack, then
there's abundance of them.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
They're just lower tier stuff.
But I swear to you they've beentricking me recently with the
patterns that they've beenputting out yeah, the patterns
have been great.
And then I'm like whoa, what'sthis, what's this shirt gonna be
like if I'm thrifting and I'mlike oh, it's a walter hagan,
but the pattern is really good,like they're stepping up the
game on the patterns.
But again, I think it's, I thinkit's in a direct, direct uh

(21:41):
result of what you just said,like everybody's trying to catch
up with these other guys thathave already been ahead of it
with the cool patterns, like youknow, pins and aces is on
whatnot those guys are makingcrazy, yeah, stuff and yeah they
are all there.
Everybody's just trying tofollow that lead, because that's
what's really working in the inthe modern day golf apparel
space right now.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
So yeah, it's crazy like it's.
It's amazing like those firstcompanies that came out and took
the risk of making those printsand stuff, because back then it
was like solid colors, maybesome stripes, that was like the
golf shirt.
Now it's like you seeeverything out on the golf
course.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Now.
Yeah, now it's the crazier thebetter.
Like, if I'm out drifting, Iget so excited when I see crazy
patterns because I'm like, ohman, the guys are going to love
this one.
Like the crazier the better.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
So yeah, it's crazy.
I mean you, you live in an areathat is abundant to golf, OK,
and you have.
I mean we're kind of jealous inLas Vegas, right.
So we're in Vegas, we have like50 golf courses if you will,
but people are transient here.

(22:50):
You guys have members.
You can travel three hours andplay some of the greatest golf
courses in the country.
Right, there's, there's so many, and I found don't forget very
seasonal here.
That's true.
We can play all year.
We can play all year.
That's.
That's the one upside.
But for you you can travelthree hours and play, basically

(23:13):
I don't know hundreds of top 200courses.
I I mean, I'm just throwingnumbers out there, but like
you're in an area where aburning tree I know, I ask you
always for burning tree.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
I do found I found two burning trees today.
We'll see you now xl, xl.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
That's the one, um, I mean, and there's so many
sleeper golf courses in thatarea.
Like I asked you aboutbitterman, um, which is in, uh,
wilmington, uh, I got to playwith my friend that's up there
and and you never even heard ofit and that's the thing in your
area there is so many incrediblegolf courses that you've never

(23:51):
heard of, but you are in a landof golf abundance and I'm
jealous, I'm jealous, oh sorry.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
I just was born here.
I don't know what to tell you,but you got good crab.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
You got good crab.
What's the local Old Bay.
What's the local Old Bay out?

Speaker 3 (24:11):
there, that's the spice, yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
No, what's the local?

Speaker 3 (24:14):
one, what's the local one?
Oh J-O Spice, is that the?

Speaker 1 (24:17):
one you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
There we go, yeah, yeah, j-o.
Everybody always yeah, youdon't know about jo spice unless
you live, yeah, but that's theone most people, the waterman,
put on the crabs instead of oldbay.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Old bay is the like commercial, like one.
Yeah, that's not, that's thenon-vintage, non-vintage.
Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, yeahthat's funny so when you, when
you go play, where do you goplay?

Speaker 3 (24:41):
uh, there's a couple ones that are local to me, just
like local munis.
There's one that's called oakcreek that I played a ton during
covid uh, it's like a littlesouth of me.
It was amazing.
It's such a nice course andduring covid they could, uh,
there was like a twilight ratethat we were playing after 3 pm
during the summer and it waslike 3535 for the round.

(25:02):
It was crazy.
So, um, so that would probablybe my like number one by me if I
were to go play.
And then when I had myfull-time job, I worked in
Baltimore.
So there's actually a slew ofBaltimore city courses that are
shockingly not terrible publiccourses.
They actually do maintain thempretty well.

(25:23):
Well, um, so I would play therejust for the convenience of you
know being pretty close afterwork that sort of thing when I
was playing some.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
So I will tell you a little, a little, uh, lesser
known fact about me.
Uh, I was on.
Who wants to be a millionairewith my wife?
During the uh, yeah, wow withmy wife for the lucky and love
couples week, and that was myfirst time to maryland.
That was my first time inmaryland and, uh I, I went to

(25:51):
play timbers at troy.
You ever played.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yes, yeah, I haven't played there.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
I know where it is though that's uh, about, it's
about five minutes from, uh, mywife's aunt's house.
I played with a set of rentalWilsons that were senior flex
and it was terrible club wise,but it was awesome, I mean, and
that and that's also a thinglike for us, right, we're in the

(26:16):
desert.
We don't get trees up there.
You got trees.
Yeah, coach porch said fiveminutes from my house.
Well, my aunt-in-law livesright there too, but yeah, it's
just different up there andwe're jealous of that.
But you guys, other people arealso jealous of playing in the
desert, right?

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yeah, I saw the intro video.
I was watching the intro videoof you guys teeing off and I was
like man, that course lookscool.
That looks like that would bereally fun to play that course
yeah, that's looks cool.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
That looks like that would be really fun to play.
That course yeah, that's Black.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Panther, you always want what you don't have right.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Exactly Playing Shadow Creek for the first time
on Thursday, me and Jeremy.
That's going to be fun.
That's awesome.
Coach Porch said teachingnewbies is kind of the
responsibility of the veterangolfers that are playing with

(27:10):
the newbies.
I think it's up to us to sharethe game the right way.
For me, that's what I try anddo.
On whatnot Everybody asks about, should I take lessons, should
I get a stiff flex shaft?
And it's everybody's sodifferent, everybody's so unique
, and it's about sharing theknowledge.

(27:31):
You know what I mean.
It's pretty wild.
It's so wild like and it's ashock to me being a newer guy
coming, but it's it's different.
But you also take a snapshotpicture of the old ways, which I
love personally.

(27:51):
You know what I mean and yourknowledge of the older style,
the old school way, iscommendable, if you will,
because I have a persimmon.
I have a custom persimmon fromLarson Golf downstairs that I
take out every once in a while,but I think people should dive
into the ways of how it was tofigure out where it's at.

(28:15):
You know what I mean it'simportant to understand.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
If you want to be really into something, it's
important to understand thehistory of that thing, to know
how you got to where you are now.
Right, um, exactly becausebecause, like everybody's,
obsessed with scotty, cameron,putters and whatever like I
don't understand that I mean Ilove them.
I think they're great, I thinkthe craftsmanship is really cool
and stuff, but it's also coolto understand how they get to
where they are Right.

(28:45):
What are we?

Speaker 1 (28:47):
pointing we're pointing at Jeremy.
He's a huge Scotty fan.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Oh yeah, I mean I am too, but I've been liking them,
since like the 90s, yeah, and Ilove the old ones.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
The old ones are the best, Like that's you know, but
again it's also just my love foranything old yeah, the idea
that there's some uniqueness andrarity to the fact that I might
have one, that somebody elsedoesn't, or there's few of them
left out there.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
I don't want the brand new scotty, I don't care
about that that doesn't meananything to me, but you're also
very familiar with goodwoodputters, who is in your area we
all got putters made by goodwood.
Goodwood putters, fantasticputters, craftsmanship.
I will always go custom overanything stock that you can buy
online like I want to tell youwhat I want.

(29:31):
You know that's me, but jeremygot.
Jeremy got a goodwood putterrecently.
He has played it, which I Ienjoyed seeing, but he also has
a putter from strokes game.
That's my gamer and he's.
I've never seen that on thegolf course, ever.
And it's a it's a Pete die.
We threw a.

(29:52):
We threw a Pete die Atournament.
You will buy you tribute.
That's where we met Dan, whichis now one of my brothers, my
one of my best friends.
That's where we met him.
But jeremy won this customlegends never die.
That's what we called it afterp die passed away and it's so

(30:13):
sick and it's just sitting in acloset and I hate to see that.
I really hate to see it inbetween several scotties.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah, and he just plays scott and so you're not
into collecting, you just thinkthat every putter should be game
with them honestly, I meant joe, I didn't mean you jeremy, I
meant joe no, no, no.
I think putters should be gamed.
It's like it's a tool no, it'snot something to collect yeah,
tools, not jewels.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
I'll say that.
Yeah, but yeah, I think,especially with with the other
right, it is a it's personal.
Putters are personal.
You know what I mean.
It is something that gets youin the hole and it's like you
have to find your correctrelationship.
You know I'll dabble here andthere, but, um, I think if you

(31:03):
go custom or even if you get ascotty and it's stamped with
your initials, it brings a acloser connection to that putter
.
That's, that's my whole thing.
It's like I care for this.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, because it's mine, it'snobody else's.
This is my putter and that'swhere I'm at with it.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Um, but yeah, jeremy, not taking that out of the
closet just always irritates meyeah I think some of them
honestly, it's just this amazingpiece of artwork, like some
totally, yeah, absolutely greatI can't.
I can't even imagine somebodygaming some of these putters
that I've seen just because yeah, oh yeah beautiful pieces of

(31:47):
artwork, you know I do feel likethey're just meant to be looked
at some of them.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Some of them absolutely.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
But I love seeing those 009 Scotties.
They've obviously been gamedand they're $10,000 on eBay.
That is sick to me.
I would absolutely game a 009.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Yeah, you're a sicko if you do that, but that's cool.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Yeah, but he's a fan.
He's been golfing.
How long have you been golfing,Jeremy?
I don't even know my dad.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
Like most people I know, they learn golf from their
dad or uncle or grandpa orsomeone in my whole life.
When I was two, I probablystarted going out with him.
It would be interesting, though, because I mean, I know some
people that started playing golfduring COVID, like yourself,

(32:38):
but it would be interesting tosee golf through their eyes,
because for me it's a completelydifferent thing.
I feel like I'm more of atraditionalist type of person,
so the whole COVID thing and abunch of people starting to play
golf that maybe weren'tintroduced the same way I was,
is an interesting thought to me,because it's always been like
we all go out with our dad or,you know, go with your cousins

(33:00):
and your grandpa, you go playgolf, but there's people that
really started playing in anolder age, that didn't have that
, and that may lead into some ofthose things we talked about
earlier about not having someoneto teach them the etiquette
while you're playing for thefirst time, or whatever it's
that would be interesting to seethat through other people's
eyes, of, kind of the newergolfer absolutely it's wild man.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yeah, it is golf is so much it's insane.
It really has.
Golf is the greatest game evercreated in my eyes.
Always will be, always has been.
I mean, I started playing in2018.
I mean, I went out with my dada couple of times and he went by
me new club so I stopped andI'd probably be on live right
now because I would have tookthe bag.

(33:44):
But you know, it is what it is,um, but no, I mean it's, it's
super interesting yeah so do youdo anything else besides the
golfs?

Speaker 4 (33:59):
the golfs.
Do you sell any other vintagestuff still, or is it pretty
much just golf?

Speaker 3 (34:04):
um, I do sell some vintage but I wholesale it all
now to somebody that I'm closewith that has a store.
So it's just a lot easier forme because then I don't waste
any time looking for the stuff.
I only look for what I think hemight want specifically for his
store that he curates.
So you know, we've workedtogether over time and it's like

(34:27):
if I'm out and I happen to seesomething, I'll pick it up for
him.
I just wholesale directly tohim for his shop.
It just makes it easier for me.
It doesn't really add up to awhole lot in the grand scheme of
things, but it just gives methe outlet that if I see
something that I know I can't, Ijust would feel terrible
leaving behind that it'ssomething I can just feed right

(34:47):
to him instead.
But yeah, I mean, and, and,frankly, like I'm at a point now
where all of my business isreally on whatnot.
Like I don't sell anywhere elseanymore.
Um, I still have some stufflisted elsewhere, but um, I
don't actively list on ebay oranywhere else anymore just
because whatnot has just been sogood to me.
I always want to bringeverything to my guys and,

(35:10):
frankly, like my sourcing hasbeen changed based off of
whatnot.
Like what I buy, how I buy it,the things that I look for are
tailored now specifically to myaudience.
On whatnot, I know what I canand can't buy.
I know what will do well, whatwon't do well, based off of the
guys that I have come in, basedoff of the history of just

(35:33):
trying different things Like Iknow I've kind of honed in on,
and it is fun Like new.
There's always new things thatpop up Like, oh, I wonder if
this will work.
And it makes it fun becausethen I can try something new and
see if it's going to work ornot.
But for the most part, um, theway that I source has changed
dramatically over the past twoyears because you have to just

(35:55):
kind of do trial and error tofigure out what exactly your
audience is looking for.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
So that's funny because, like every time I like
I mean I'm still new, but everytime I start a show like I say
no den caddies, couple lefties,no broomsticks.
You know this, that, becausethat's I don't have it.
So I'm letting you know ifyou're in there, like because
people are after specific thingsand the sourcing is.
You know, inventory is hard asit is, you know it's so hard

(36:24):
like you got to go out hunting.
But um, yeah, I, I feel you onthat 100%.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Yeah for sure, yeah, it's man, inventory is tough,
and especially by me, and youmeant you.
You said something that wasinteresting before, joe, that
you kind of like envy this areaas it relates to golfing.
But yeah, this area is verytough when it comes to like
sourcing for golf, because wedon't just have tons of golf

(36:54):
clubs everywhere, like some ofthe guys do in florida and
california, like I swear yeahseeing what some of these guys
find in florida.
It's mind-boggling yeah, yeah,oh yeah to yard sales like that
and find the stuff that they do,because florida is a hotbed.
I've tried that so many timesand I've just given up on going
to a day's worth of yard salesbecause it's just a complete

(37:15):
waste of my time but meanwhilethese guys are finding scotty
cameron's at yard sales everyweekend.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
It's insane to me yeah, yeah yeah that shit blows
my mind that shit blows my mindI'll.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
I'll see videos and posts of people walking through
like Goodwills or secondhandstores and like they're like oh,
I just you know, scored these690 MBs here and get them for $5
.
A club Like who does that, likewho gives away all these sick
clubs for nothing, and then theyjust walk up on it, like you
know.
Oh, you know, this is cool.
Check out what I found.
I'm going to go down the streetand find another set of these

(37:48):
too.
It blows my mind some of thegems that people can find in
these secondhand stores andGoodwills and Salvation Armies
and stuff it's nuts.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
I will say that if you do it enough, you're bound
to find stuff.
And that's the thing that Ialways tell guys.
A lot of guys just think like,oh, I've never found anything at
that thrift store before.
And I'm like, well, how oftenhave you gone to it?
Well, I went like two or threetimes, and the two or three
times I went I never foundanything.
Well, guys, you know how manytimes I've gone to the same

(38:17):
thrift stores Like thousands oftimes.
You have to keep going, becauseif you don't go, you don't know
if you're going to findsomething, right?
Yeah, and you just it.
Just, it's such you have tokind of create your own luck
with thrifting, Right, and youhave to keep giving yourself the
opportunities to find things,because you can't go once or
twice and think you're nevergoing to find anything at that

(38:38):
store, because there's manytimes where I've strict struck
out 10 times in a row at a storeand then on the 11th you find
something crazy.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Right.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
So you know, you just never know.
It's really about volume, theamount of times you go, how
often you go.
After a certain amount of timeyou have to just do a
cost-benefit to say like, oh, isit worth me going to this store
so many times?
But yeah, I mean, you're bound.
If you do it enough, you arebound to find cool stuff.
I mean I've found threetycameron polos thrifting in my

(39:11):
lifetime which is crazy to thinkthat somebody gave away scotty
cameron polos but, but again,that's after going hundreds of
times to thrift stores.
I mean, I go on vacations withmy wife and I'm looking up where
the thrift stores are orwherever we are, because I'm
just curious to go see what theyhave and what the prices are
and that kind of stuff.

(39:32):
We went on a vacation to SanFrancisco last year and I
convinced her that it would be agood idea to go thrifting and
we did a show from the house inSan Francisco while we were on
vacation selling golf shirts,and then I had to buy a second
suitcase to take a secondsuitcase back home so I could
ship it all when we got back.

(39:52):
I mean, I'm a sicko, but thisis the kind of stuff that you
think about all the time whenthis is like you know what you
do and what you're obsessed with.
I love the hunt.
The hunt is amazing to me.
It's just so fun because younever know what you're going to
find at any given time and a lotof the people that do what I do

(40:12):
will tell you the same thing.
Like the hunt is the best part.
So dude.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
My whole mindset has changed since starting Like I do
, I go to hit all the golf shopsat least once a week.
I there's a thrift store by myhouse.
I go three times a week, justpop in real quick, nothing out.
You know, it's like the hunt.
The hunt is, you know, andgiving some or finding something

(40:38):
that somebody else willappreciate is awesome.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Yeah, it's so rewarding to me to have people
that I can shop for.
I love that.
Like I know that I'm out thereand if I it's, it's crazy to
even think, because most of thepeople I've never met before,
I've never seen their face, Iknow nothing about them, I just

(41:02):
know a username and then I knowthat they like large foot choice
Right.
Yeah, like large foot choiceright.
And it's just really cool thatI'm able to like curate stuff
for that person and know whatthey like and know what I'm
looking for.
And you kind of have like alittle bit of a mission.
That's part of what you'redoing.
Like I have this mission tofind things for certain people

(41:23):
and it makes it really fun forme that I that I have like that
purpose to you know, um yeah.
To the sourcing right.
It's like there's this extrapurpose to the sourcing that I
have like a list in my head ofall of these different things
that I'm specifically lookingfor.
For certain people it makes itreally fun.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Yeah, super cool.
Anytime you see something Vegas, you tag me automatically and
I'm like yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Nowifty is is your, is your thrifting adventures?
Are you mostly golf stuff, oris everything off the table like
watches?

Speaker 3 (41:59):
yeah, anything no.
So yeah, I kind of stoppedbecause it's my my philosophy
that if you can get really goodat one thing, do that Nothing
against, because there's lots ofthrifters out there, there's
lots of YouTubers that they justwill thrift anything because
they think that if you know somethings are a good thing to find

(42:22):
and a good thing to buy, thenthat's great and you're going to
be profitable off of thoseitems, that's a great thing.
But for me, especially now, likemy business, is golf specific
and whatnot for me is golfspecific.
I don't have the time to belisting those other things

(42:43):
elsewhere, so I really have tojust stay in my lane and stay
focused on really only the golfstuff that I know makes sense
for my business model and forwhat I'm trying to do on whatnot
.
So I've kind of I used to dothat where I'm like oh, I saw
that, I saw somebody a hairytornado find that on youtube.
I know that thing is good and Ican make money off of that.

(43:04):
I've kind of had to stay awayfrom that and what I do now is I
look at that item and go, wow,that's a good item that somebody
could make some money off of,and then I move on you know,
just trying to keep myself frombuying that thing.
I know we'll go sit in a pileand I'll never end up listing.
So.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Gotcha.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Yeah, it's wild man.
I am in the world now and it's.
It's addictive also on bothends.
Fuck, yes, it is.
Dan is a newcomer to whatnot,right, and every time I go on
whatnot I see him just in shows.
Every time he's the ghost tree.

(43:45):
He's the ghost tree from.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
I'm a buyer, yeah, I'm a buyer for sure, the last
week to 10 days is just.
I need a stat.

Speaker 3 (43:57):
It kind of is like I don't know, maybe this is me
segwaying into a different topicit kind of, maybe, now that you
guys, being on the buyer side,get this sense of I think that
this is the future of shopping.
It kind of and maybe now thatyou guys, being on the buyer
side, get this sense of like Ithink that this is the future of
shopping, right, like.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
I think that's what I wanted to get into 100%, yeah,
yeah totally, I think.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
I think live shopping is the future.
They've already there's alreadybeen, to certain degrees, proof
of concept in Asia that this ishuge.
Right, like, live shopping isenormous in Asia.
Yes, we've already seen it andI've kind of explained it to
some people as, like we'vealready seen that it works
because QVC was huge for so longPeople would call to the hosts

(44:42):
and all this stuff.
It's like very similar to whatwe're doing now.
It's just I don't work for somelike big company.
I just am a guy in a garagedoing it with my own stuff, um,
but I think live shopping istotally the future.
We're all on our phones anyway.
We all are looking forsomething to entertain ourselves

(45:02):
with.
Everybody's buying stuffconstantly.
I don't want to tell you thenumber of amazon boxes that show
up at my house every single dayfrom my wife.
And why not just buy those samethings from somebody that you
enjoy watching and enjoy, youknow interacting with, and I
think that's yeah what we'veshown with.
So many people have shown onwhatnot, and especially in the

(45:25):
golf category, like the guyslove just buying the new thing
or the, the, the extra putterfor their collection or whatever
it is.
I just think the future in liveshopping is is going to be
massive.
I think we're like in theinfancy stage right now.
It's just.
This is just a small sliver ofwhat it could potentially be in

(45:47):
the future.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
So that's just my personal opinion of it yeah, I
tell my wife all the time sheworks in retail.
I'm like this, this, this is athing I'm glad I started when I
did.
But you know, like this ishappening, I mean, amazon does
live prime shows sellingspeakers, you know, and it's
yeah, if you can and that wasanother question I had for you

(46:11):
actually, like you are relatedto the viewers, right, like you
know me right, and it's like, oh, what I've hit in greens, how
you living blah, blah, blah,whatever you know, and it's like
you, we're all.
You're yourself, right for themost part, but you're bringing
people into your show.
You're being yourself.
You're not like putting on aphony front.

(46:32):
You're not a.
You don't work for entertainmenttonight or something, or a hard
copy if you will, we'll throwback um but it's like they're
pushing stuff, exactly like whenI watch influencers.
You know I know that they'reselling liquid IV because they
got paid for it.
You know you're selling stuffthat you found for people and

(46:56):
it's a different dynamic.
You know they come to learn whoyou are and it's just different
, which is so cool.
And I agree with you 100% thatit is the future of selling
wholeheartedly.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
Yeah, I mean, I will say, we do.
I still have to be a goodsalesman.
I will say like that's part ofthe whole.
Thing.
You know, I have to be to besuccessful, I have to be
entertaining.
I feel like everybody's.
The people that are mostsuccessful on the app are the
people that are the mostentertaining, are the most
interesting to watch they arealso the best salesmen for the

(47:35):
most part.
Um so a certain degree.
So to a certain degree, I haveto be a good salesman.
Whether or not you are a honest, good salesman or not, I think
it's a different story which Ifeel like is important for
people to understand that evenif I have to be a salesman to
sell the things that I have,that I'm being honest about it

(47:55):
and I think that's reallyimportant to me with my audience
what I'm yeah you know what I'mdoing.
So, yeah, yeah.
So I agree with you.
I will say, though, like youknow, that you do have to be a
salesman to some degree, because, otherwise you're not going to
sell any of your stuff.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, I like.
I mean it's like I have a hardtime lying already and I'm not
going to lie to anybody.
You know what I mean.
You know, like if you want it,you want it, if you don't, it's
all right, you know figure outanother way.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
I try to like for the most part and I'm sure you do
the same thing Like you want tosource stuff that you can stand
behind right, like if if there'sin the rare instances that,
like I make a mistake.
Like I'm a volume seller so Isell lots of stuff every week.
There's times stuff slippedthrough the cracks and I know
that everybody knows thatnobody's perfect.

(48:49):
If it slipped through thecracks, you just tell me and
I'll fix it, because customerservice is important to me yeah,
sure, if you got those goldwings, bro thrifty got gold
wings.

Speaker 1 (49:00):

Speaker 4 (50:26):
Take care, have a good one.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Thanks guys, we'll jump into the whole Fleetwood
Keegan thing.
What do you guys think aboutthat?
Choker, choker.
I really wanted to seeFleetwood win.
You know I've been rooting forhim for a long time, but yeah,

(50:55):
but it's also too good to nothave a win yet it's cool to see
keegan win, though, too.
And now that, oh yeah, yeah,the playing captain thing jumps
in.
You know what I mean?
It's also at beth, page black.
I played there, I guess.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
No, you've played there oh, no shit, joe, really
yeah, yeah, I slept in theparking lot, yeah he must have.
He must have told us, because Ifigured he would have told me
something like that I must haveforgot sorry anyway, it was
tough to watch.

Speaker 4 (51:27):
But I will say the duels thing that they came out
with the other day, I thinkyesterday.
It was like the live duelslittle youtube or tv thing
whatever, where they have fivetour pro, five live pros and
then, uh, five content creatorsoh yeah, that was actually
really good to watch.
That was.

(51:47):
That was good.
It was pretty intense at theend, so I would recommend it.
But I just think that thatdirection where you'll have to
watch I don't know if youwatched the first duels it felt
like a live program right.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
I did, I think I did yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
It looked like an extension of live, but this was
on Brian Brough's channel.
It looked like just anotherBrian live.
But this was like on brian broschannel.
It looked like just anotherbrian bros video, and I really
think that that is the way toget people to back to watching.
If the tour could figure out away to do it.
So it feels like a course vlog,less, less of like a
presentation with the ads andthe you know, commentators are

(52:27):
fine, but it's it's so much moreengaging when you're down on
the course and you're like, ohyeah, absolutely right next to
these guys.
There's got to be a way to mixthose two, because even watching
the, the travelers, it's just Idon't know.
I have a hard time getting intoit if it's not a major, even if
it's an elevated event I'venoticed that recently too like

(52:48):
it's hard time getting into itif it's not a major even if it's
an elevated event.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
I've noticed that recently too, Like it's hard to
get into things if it's not amajor lately, you know, or if I
don't have a bet on it you know,what I mean and I I still.
I saw that post I don't know ifyou guys saw it like last week
or two weeks ago, where it'slike I think matt reposted it

(53:12):
shout out dad, um.
Where it's like this is whatyou need to do to bring in
people.
You need to change the courseroto, which we've been saying
for a long time, and change itup.
I don't know if it's likegetting stale because they split
and it's stale now, or, but I'mfull supporter of them changing
things up.
You know like, let's see themat fucking the loop.

(53:33):
Let's see him at fuckingarcadia bluffs.
Let's see them at never playthese courses, white horse.
I've played white horse.
Let's see him at chambers bayfuck it.
You know there's a lot of shit,a lot of heat.
That happened because of garyplayer at chambers bay.
Let's see miss salish fuck it.
You know like, yeah, who caresif they're 50 yards out from Bay
?
Let's see Miss Salish, fuck it.
Who cares if they're 50 yardsout from the green?

(53:53):
Let's see some new shit.
That's the way that golf haschanged.
We don't need to see the samegolf courses from the past 30
years.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
Throw it out there.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
Something will change .
But I just feel like that's whyI mean, most of the people that
maybe were watching the tourare just, maybe it's the same
thing and they they see thevalue in what these content
creators are doing.
I mean, I never was into itlike a couple years ago.
I never watched youtube.
I couldn't stand what you know.
Good, good and all that stuff.
But they have stepped up theirgame significantly, like in the

(54:30):
last year.
The production quality isincredible, yeah, and some of
the guys do it themselves, andthey're just crushing it.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
It's it's awesome, yeah, and they're on the grounds
at courses you haven't playedlike when I, when I'm gonna go
play a golf course, I've neverplayed like.
I look up on youtube.
Uh, land man, if you will andI'll like, I'll click on the one
with the most views, with thebest looking.
Uh, whatever clickbait orwhatever, if you want to call it

(55:01):
that, and I'll watch it.
Yeah, the thumbnail.
Yeah, I'll watch that becauseI'm going there and I want to
look at the course and I don'tknow they got to change
something up, I think it.

Speaker 4 (55:13):
I mean, it's also probably like how our attention
spans have evolved over time aswell 100 instant.
I mean golf.
You have to commit hours if youwant to watch a golf tournament
, but youtube you can watch 10minutes.
You can watch an hour or twohours if you want, but it's
instant, like it's there.
Yeah, you get your instant feedof whatever it is, but it is a

(55:37):
commitment to watch the tour youget your rolex commercial you
get your uh primerica commercial.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
You know, yeah, I think youtube's instantaneous.
Yeah, I don't know, I don'tknow, it's very interesting.
But um, what do you guys thinkabout?
Do you think, uh, tommy's putthit a divot or something?
Ball mark, because that thingjumped.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
It's not.
You could see it kick offlinefor sure.
But also, too, like you know,don't leave yourself an-footer
for par or whatever the hell.
It was yeah, true, you know,yeah, should have hit the nine.
I know it should have, couldhave, would have, but the win
was India.
I'm sure he was probablyfeeling amped up, but, you know,
just hit the nine.

(56:20):
He had it in his hands, wentback, switched to the pitching
wedge came up short and threewiggled from there.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
So it sucks but yeah, you know, yeah, I gotta make
one eventually.
Yeah, do you think?
Do you think, uh, keegan playsduring writer cup?

Speaker 2 (56:42):
yeah, I mean I don't know, man, it's, it's, he's
almost there.
I mean he's in the he's,where's he at right now in the
nine nine spot, he's like eight.
He's eight or nine, sotechnically he can pick himself,
but I think that if the RyderCup committee, or whoever the
hell it is, in charge of makingcaptains and co-captains, I

(57:04):
think that they might want tothink about finding another
captain and having him play.
Oh really, yeah.
Another captain I don't know,yeah, I mean I don't know if
there is a player captain option, I'm sure there is.
I wouldn't say why therewouldn't be, but if he's going
to be, he's been playing prettywell lately and if he can
continue this momentum, why givehim the duties of being a

(57:27):
captain and a player?
Just have somebody captain andlet him focus on playing and
kicking ass in the right agowell, that's the clip.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
That's what I think but, that's the clip I saw, like
I mean he could be a playingcaptain.
I mean he's got jim furek, he'sgot kevin kisner, co-captains
uh, I don't know if there'ssomeone else um, but everybody
was saying like we want you, youto, you know, go play.
So I, it's such a, it's such abig one too, and you know,

(57:58):
keegan loves Ryder cup and it'sat Beth page which I've played,
that it's.
It's big for him, you know, andI'm curious to see if he plays
because it's so important.
Keegan's a huge Ryder cup fan,right, like he wants to win, and
I'm curious if he he'll throwhimself out there to play and
trust his co-captains to captainfor him.

(58:18):
I don't think they're switchingthe captain.
Like Keegan's the captain JimBurke and Kisner can do it Right
, but I'm, I'm really curious.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Well, we'll see what happens.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
But if Keegan wins again if.
Keegan wins again.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
We'll see where it's going.
I mean you would have to.
You would have to considergiving up the captaincy if he
wins again.
Can they do that?
I don't know, it's just me,it's just me.
Maybe I'm off on that, maybe hecan be a player captain and
that's not going to be an issueat all.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
Well, you got Jim Furyk.
Back there too, Maybe Jim Furyk?
Well, you got Furyk.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
You got Tiger Tiger can be a fucking captain Kiz.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
Tiger.
Tiger can be a fucking captain.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
Kiz, tiger's not doing it.
Freddie back in there.
I mean, why wouldn't Tiger do?

Speaker 1 (59:07):
it Calvin Pete, calvin Pete.
Calvin Pete's not alive.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
Calvin Pete, he's dead.
Yeah, I know.
No, I think he's dead.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
The ghost of Calvin.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
But yeah, I mean, like I said, if Keegan keeps
winning, you have to consider.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
He's going to have to play.
If he's top six, he's got toplay.
Yeah, we'll see what happensthere.
I don't know.
It's interesting though.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
Yeah, we'll see, see what happens.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Do you guys have anything else before we go
through Vegas Golf Network andTPC Las Vegas?

Speaker 4 (59:46):
I don't think so Nothing else Ed.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
All right.
Well, yeah, we had the VGNtournament at TPC Las Vegas this
past weekend.
It was a great day.
Woke up, a little breezy, alittle brisk, 70 degrees it was
a nice day, fantastic.
I highly recommend Vegas Golfin 70 degree weather.
Of course.
The man himself, daniel Hodges,won the top of the game

(01:00:15):
Unstoppable In a playoff againstMike Visagas.
How'd that playoff go?

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
It went good.
We played two holes.
We both played 18.
First hole he pipes it.
I kind of scored one to theright side, put my second shot
in the bunker and was able toget up and down for par.
Mike just missed the green andhe got up and down for par.

(01:00:45):
So we ran it back on 18, bothboth hit it down the middle on.
On Mike's second shot he pulledit a hair and it just fell off
the green and kind of rolledinto the rocks and went into the
water.
So after his drop and you know,he almost he almost got up and
down, which was crazy.
He had like a.
He had like a, I think, likeabout a 35-foot par putt after

(01:01:07):
the drop and he almost cashed it.
He just missed the lip.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
And yeah, so that just left me two putt to win and
was able to do it.
Yeah, I was really hoping for alive feed in the clubhouse,
with the jelly beans that werelaid across the table, if you
will.
Yeah, that would be nice.
But yeah, I didn't know.
Juju was out there reffing.
But Ethan Ibarra won the Spadesflight.

(01:01:40):
He is a newcomer, I believethis year he's also a Whatn
notter, so go check out.
Uh, rivalry rips on whatnot.
Uh, I played decently, if youwill.
I had a lot of bogeys, had alot of birdies, but uh, just
gonna make it happen.
Uh, hearts flight was rich reddrop.
Uh, the homie shout out, thehomie drop.

(01:02:01):
Um, he won his flight flight.
And then in the club's divisionit was Derek Long, everybody
taking away a major.
I did win a skin, so I'm happyabout that.
I'm basically even on the week.
I love to see it, if you will.
You know what I mean.
Oh yeah, cpc Las Vegas is infantastic shape.

(01:02:22):
It was great.
Greens were, according to theboard, running at a 10.
But yeah, it was in great shape.
I haven't been there in yearslike four years probably, and it
was really good.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
Yeah, it was in good shape.
The greens were a little slowin the morning because they were
a little moist, but once they,uh, once that, once they were on
the back nine, they started.
They started getting a littlebit slicker yeah, yeah, of
course, in good shape.

Speaker 4 (01:02:55):
It's such a fun place to play yeah, it really is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
It's a good layout.
I like it.
The uh, what is that?
10, 11, 12 13 the one whereit's your.
The t-box is here and the thefairway just crosses.
Oh yeah, that thing, that thathole, will always break my brain
.
You always got to think there.

Speaker 4 (01:03:15):
I love that hole, but was the t down below, so you're
hitting up to the fairway um,no, no, no, it was pretty, even
it was flat, okay, okay was yourtea behind the 13 green?

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
or 12, yeah, yeah, yeah, right yeah okay yeah
that's

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
live.
Didn't someone do a live fromthe U S?

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
open.
Yeah, they did live in the U Sopen merge tent yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
I just I I mean, I just don't think a lot of people
know what shadow Creek is.
That's, that's the hard part.
Yeah, a few guys.
Uh, kevin birdie in a can.
I calmed down on that one.
He said a few guys did it.
A few guys definitely did do it, live on whatnot from the US

(01:06:15):
Open merch tent.
I'm kind of scared to do it butI'm definitely going to buy
some things for the show becauseShadow Creek is so special.
But I'm definitely going to buysome things for the show
because Shadow Creek is sospecial.
I've walked the grounds for theLPGA tournament and I'm so
stoked.
Dan and Matt have played there.
Me and Jeremy we have notplayed there.
It's going to be our first time.

(01:06:36):
The back lights I'm so stokedto pop that, jerry.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
That's the sick part, though that's what I'm jealous
of the most is that you guys aredoing it under the fucking
lights, like I, you know Iplayed it under the big light,
sun and shit like that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
But yeah, that's gonna be sick because, no, I
wish you guys were there not toomany people get that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Not too many people get that opportunity you know,
it just started, uh, two monthsago two months ago.
Yeah, tiger and phil, I think,were the last ones to play in
the lights, right?
Yeah, they played it, yeah theyplayed the 19th hole.

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
They played the 19th hole oh, that's right, yeah, a
little the uh from the patio tothe green yeah, yeah, rob joe
would get kicked out of shadowcreek and miss an opportunity to
play.
No, it's not happening.
I'm playing.
Limo's picking us up.
We're playing.
I'm shooting 45 under.
It's gonna be sick don't worryabout it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
Can I?
Can I pay a card fee and rideand watch you guys?

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
please do that's the thing that bums me out like I
wish you guys were there,because uh it's gonna be cool.
There's so many incredibleholes out there and I've seen
them.
I'm so stoked to play them.
Four, sick, of course.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Nine the whole course is sick.
You guys are going to fuckinglove it.
I know the whole course is sick.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
I can't wait, dude.
I can't wait, it'll be yournumber one course.

Speaker 2 (01:08:02):
It'll be your number one course.
You played.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
I bet you'll like it better than Beth Page.
We'll see.
I don't know who knows.
I've seen it before, though.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
I don't know though.

Speaker 1 (01:08:17):
I wouldn't say that Beth Page is my number one.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
What's your number one then?
You see I.
What's your number one then?

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
well, you see no, you see, like I I I calculate on my
number, ones are calculated onthe fact that you could play it
every day.
You don't think you can play?
black every day no, I couldn'twalk that course every day.
You gotta walk there.
Can't walk that every day.
Come on, bro, I think, like ifI mean if you know me, like if I

(01:08:51):
was a member anywhere, right,like you got carts.
I mean, yeah, it might be mynumber one architecturally, but
like I could play southern pinesevery day in a cart.
You play tobacco road every dayin a car.
I could play true blue everyday in a cart.
So it's uh, it's.

(01:09:13):
There's so many aspects topicking your number one.
You know what I mean likechambers was great.
but like walking that fuckingcourse is tough and jeremy going
to go play the home course mostlikely, which is going to be
sick, or he's taking the driveto Salish.
It's one of those two for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
I could play Salish every day too Salish is fucking
sick, Especially now after thebunker renovation.
I bet you it's even better thanwhen we played it.
I bet you yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:44):
What did you guys pay to play there?
Do you remember?
110 maybe like 115, yeah, 115125, some shit like that.
Yeah, it's like 150 dude.

Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
Uh, it's um are you guys staying in seattle, seattle
?

Speaker 4 (01:10:00):
yeah, we are, but but we're open to like.
I know that they have theresort there next to Salish.
Yeah, the casino, it is adrive-in.
Yeah, it's an hour and a halffrom Seattle, but the home
course is right next to ChambersBay, I think.
Yep, it's right there.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
I think I would say we need reports from the home
course because that's the homeright, would say we need reports
from the home course becausethat's the home right.
I think we need reports fromthe home course.
That place looks awesome.
It looks sick as fuck.
It's.
It's like right above chambers,but I also would love for you
to play chambers too maybe I'llgo play early morning atbers and

(01:10:41):
then a home course in theafternoon.
Yes, I mean, your favoritegolfer in the entire world won a
US Open at Chambers Bay.
That's true.
That's true, that's very true.
I mean, what better time?
It's a no-brainer, it's a toughwalk.
Chambers is a tough walk.

(01:11:02):
Yeah, it's a brutal walk.
Dude, did you guys use a cartor did you?

Speaker 4 (01:11:05):
just carry.
There's no way you can do acart right.
I mean a push cart.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
Push cart would be awful, I would carry.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
I don't remember if there was push carts or not.
I don't think there's not freeones.

Speaker 4 (01:11:19):
I don't think I would want a push cart.
Anyway, pushing it up thosehills Was I don't think I would
want a push card anyway pushingit up those hills Was there
caddies there, joe.

Speaker 1 (01:11:25):
Yeah, there's caddies .
You can get a caddy, jeremy.
You can get a caddy.
There's caddies out there.
I just watched the golfer'sjournal thing about a caddy that
witnessed two hole-in-ones fromthe same day from the same
player, and he also saw someonehole out for eagle on what is it
?
14 with that?

Speaker 4 (01:11:43):
bunkers on the left the big one on the side of the
mountain that goes on the sideof the hill.
Yeah, it's like, it's likebunkers.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
I watched a little video on that, yeah, you
remember that bunker on 18?
I was like, oh yeah it's likeit's called like the devil's
dick or devil's anus, is thatthe one in?
The fairway, or by the greenit's in the fair, by the green
it's in the fairway, the middleit's in the fairway yeah, and
it's like you could reach itright.

Speaker 4 (01:12:10):
Oh, yeah, yeah yeah, wow that I think you don't want
to go in there or something.

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
I think you should just go play that you should go,
play that I.

Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
Should I think it makes sense for you because
you're a huge.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
you're a huge jordan speed fam and and that's where
he won the open and Gary playerwas talking shit about broccoli.
And these greens are trash andyeah, they're not fantastic
greens, but it's pretty fuckingcool.

Speaker 4 (01:12:36):
I'm sure they're nice right now.
That was a different situation.
Yeah, when you go play, whenyou go play.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
What hole is that?

Speaker 4 (01:12:44):
Joe, 17, 17, 16 with the train the lone the lone pine
