An iHeartMedia Podcasts presented by Comcast Business, introducing Ultimate Speed

Powering Possibilities. As we this is gonna be a weather
We know it, Harry, It's gonna be a weather talk.
This is when we ask ourselves why do we live
in this area? You know, although our friends down in
(00:53):
Florida a little chilly this morning. But well we'll talk
about that a little a little bit more. Also, the
Penn Club on second, we got to talk about a
little event coming up there soon and.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
We'll talk about them.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, when we talk about Sea Island a little bit
later in the show. But we are joined by Max
Sherman and Michael Hall from Buy My Balls with Welcome
in with the Z. Of course, everybody knows that it'll
be silly. What's up, guys, welcome to swing and think
it good good, So, you know, we obviously want to
talk about the whole the whole thing, and we'll get
(01:26):
a little We like to talk about the golf journey
in here because we were always intrigued by people that
work in the game of golf, because it's something that
we would all love to do more. And you guys
have found a way which is pretty cool. But just
talk to us a little bit about how this started
and the idea about launching this company and where you
guys are now.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
All right, So I think I'll take it away for
a little bit.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
So I guess Max and I have been friends since
high school, going around the block, and I started working
for his dad's.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Company, and we kind of got bored one day and
we were like, hey, what can we do that we
both love?
Speaker 6 (02:02):
And we kind of were like messing around some ideas
and we're like, hey, we both love golf and I
used to do this and I was a little kid
not to be extreme of.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
What we're doing now.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
But what went around, you know, kind of collected golf
balls in the neighborhood and kind of gathered.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Them and sold them to golfers that drove by and
stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
When I was a kid and I had the idea
with Max. One day, we were driving from work and
we were like, hey, like, why don't we sell golf balls?
So we went around kind of did our research, and
we flipped like thirty thousand golf balls with one month.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
And we're like, Okay, I think we have something there.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
And from there we kind of went around and started
talking to suppliers and kind of networking and kind of
understanding the industry and we were like, Wow, this industry.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Is just like the wild wild West. There's really no
structure around it.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
And we want to create something where there's actually true
structure and kind of bring this industry to you know,
as a whole and make it better for a Max
kind of take it over on Like how we kind
of start to do that now It's it's pretty exciting.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
So we after we looked at the whole you know,
industry as a whole, we we really did like a
feasibility analysis and like a market analysis, right, we looked
at like every sector of the golf industry because we
were like, okay, you know, is this the best things
we want I want to enter into like training aids,
a pair all this or that. And we were like,
you know what, like golf balls is something that everybody
(03:25):
needs and nobody really wants to pay for it because
they're expensive. I mean I was in Arizona probably eight
months ago and I was at a golf course and
it was sixty eight dollars before a tax for a
box of prov ones. I'm like, that's just ridiculous for
twelve golf balls. Nobody wants to pay pay that to
Nobody just wants to pay that. So what we looked
(03:46):
at was how can we provide a really high quality
product to people, make a part of golf more affordable,
and then they can allocate you know, the funds that
they would be paying towards, you know, a green fees,
you know, drinks after the round, stuff like that. So
we looked into you know, how are we going to
(04:06):
get these golf balls because you know, suppliers are one thing,
and we're like, we got to get into the lakes,
Like how do we get into the lakes. How does
this whole process start. Our home golf course in West
Palm Beach, Florida was super super helpful in the beginning
of this process. They they kind of like walked us
through how the process works for them. So if they
have a company come out, this is how it works,
(04:28):
is how much they're paying. And then we looked at them,
We're like, okay, let us have a trial. And they're
looked at us like we're crazy, Like we're like, let us.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Dive your lakes.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
So we got in the lakes. We figured it out.
We brought in these balls and I mean these balls
were discussed and they had clamshells on them. They had
you know mud sir and Mike and Iron his backyard
at his house with a with a dog pool, dumping
balls in a dog pool. Not knowing what we're doing,
We're like, we don't know what the cleaning these way.
We have like Don dish So because Don Dishop was
(05:01):
used to clean ducts in an oil spill, we can
use you know them to clean golf balls. Well, that
doesn't work. Like play with like you know, concoctions and
try and not blow ourselves up with like you know,
mixing this and that and we turn into like chemists. Briefly,
it was like, uh.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
Breaking in the backyard.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
It was it was horrible, and we were we were
like sitting in his backyard with like like cloths, like
literally cleaning golf ball after golf ball. I mean, keep
us in mind, we got like thirty thousand golf balls.
We're going one out of time, and we're like this
just this just isn't it? Like this this is worth it.
So we kind of put the project to the side
(05:41):
for a couple of months and we we focused on
really like how do we do this properly? And we
really did more research and then we kind of figured
it out. We invested in some cleaning tools, and we
we figured out how to get into the golf club.
We we have a partnership with the South Florida PGA
down here. We're the only i've company and and golf
(06:02):
ball recovery company that has partnered with them. They've had
other partners in the past, but you know, now they're
down to you know, just us, and you know we're
we're local. We grew up playing in South RDA PG events,
h F JT events, a j g A events, all
these you know golf events. So we were very familiar
with a lot of these directors of golfs and these
these head pro so striking conversation with them was like
(06:24):
second major. It wasn't like a salesman. It's just like, hey,
this is what we're doing. You know, we grew up
down here, like we love the opportunity and uh, you
know we've been we've been lucky and fortunate to grow
our business, get more golf courses. We have an amazing
dive team. They come in, they're they're really really good
at what they do. They're they're safety first. You know,
(06:45):
it's it's a dangerous industry when it.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Comes to diving.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
But then the other side of it is, you know
buy my balls dot Com selling the golf balls. That's
a beast of its own. You know, there's a there's
a lot of golf balls. You know, this week alone,
we've probably processed one hundred and fifty thousand balls just
this week on an off week. And you know that's
going from everything we do is hand sorted no AI.
So you know we have people in our shop sorting
(07:08):
everything out by brand and by you know, prob one,
prob one X, left Dash, this and that, So there's
another step and then it's great like min near mint
Pristeam so it's it's a monster. But you know, our
goal is to be able to sell a you know,
really good golf ball to people and save the money.
Where Mike and I are golfers, we know we know
(07:30):
pain points in golf and you know we totally understand
what people go through. And golf is a dying sport
not too long ago, So.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Brilliant concept and how you guys came up with that.
I love the testing in the backyard everything else.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
I'm going to.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
Start with one location tip on us. One the inner
coastal between where we used to live in Tiger Wood's house.
We would sit there and just try to hit balls
in Tiger's yard over the inner coastal.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
So there's probably no.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
Less than like fifty dozen prov's. I lived with four
golfers or aspiring pro golfers. So there that's a lethora
of golf balls right in that location.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
I can give you the exact spot and you can
send send your divers right there.
Speaker 8 (08:12):
Have you guys ever done diving? Do you guys when
you're on the course, do.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
You have you know, Yeah, I was curious about the
diving part.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Yeah, I won't dive in that water per se, but.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I would definitely dive like offshore or I used to
free dive when I was a little kid of Bombas So.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Yeah, definitely like that. Yeah, no visibility, no, thank you.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Yeah, and especially in Florida water.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Okay, Now I need to know, do you guys, how
much self ConTroll do you exhibit? If any when you're
out playing yourself and you maybe hit went offline, you
see a bunch of other balls there, possibly are you
picking them up and storing them to bring back for
the business.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
No.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
But you know when we play golf courses, like our
thing is like we'll just go get it later kind
of thing. So like anytime we play a golf course
that we have a lot of contracts down here, so
you know most courses we play down here, or it's like, oh,
we lost it in the water, like one of my
friends lose it in the water. I'm just like, yeah,
I'll just go get that later. And then they look
at me and they're just like.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
It's like, we'll get that for you. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Yeah, I'll sell it back to you in two months.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
That's exactly what we say. But yeah, no, I we're
we're we're like pretty golf balled out. At the end
of the day, we see a lot of balls. Take
it for what it is, but we there's there's so many,
so many golf balls that we have to you know,
(09:33):
manage on a daily basis, and when when we get
to a golf course, we're just like, oh my god,
Like I don't know whether it's it's buying range balls
or diving for golf balls. You know, people come up
to us and they're like, oh, we have you know,
five hundred balls, a thousand balls, Like do you want
to buy them from us? Or just like sure, but
like can you wait until.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You have more?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
And they're like wait, that's not enough, or like you know,
you should see what we're bringing in.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
This is like, yeah, well, congrats on the website. I
was just on it this morning. It's really the presentation
is fantastic. Buyminballs dot com and I'd like to see
if you guys could get into the grading system because
that's that was where what I was really interested in
and who determines, you know, what's pristine and what's mint
and so forth.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
How do you guys figure that out?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yeah, Mike, you want to take that one away?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
So I mean, like as Max and I are visual,
like we've been growing up the game of.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Golf our whole life. So I feel like our grading
the industry as a standard.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
I truthfully do not know how that standard became a thing.
What we started was like, Okay, we're golfers, what do
I determine to be? Okay, what is a three A
golf ball or what we call a good golf ball?
Is you know, going to be somewhat slightly stuff that
you know it's been probably used in your bag.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
You probably have to a golf balls in.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Your bag already that you're playing with. But that's more
of our good golf ball than to our near mean
is a little bit step above barely any stuff marks.
You might have a few, but it's still a quality
great golf ball. And then are mints. I mean they
might have small pen and logos on them, but like
no stuffs. And then our pristines. If I took a
(11:12):
Pristine and I took a brand new Proby one out
of the bag and I give you to it and
give you and say, hey, can you tell which one
I can't difference, And I mean that's kind of winning
the industry. Is like if I knew this growing up
as like a kid with my parents saying, hey, I'm
gonna buy brand new.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Proby One's like, can you buy new prok brand broke?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
I would not have my kids die or have Proby
ones because there's just there's no difference. It makes no
sense of spending that amount of money, especially through the
level and educating.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
You know, you're growing the game, you're trying to learn
how to play, you're losing golf balls. Everyone loses golf balls.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
So the fact of paying sixty dollars for brand new
balls is the performance really getting affected by it, especially
at a level like that.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I don't think can a golf ball get water logged?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
No, Well it's a two it's a two sided question.
I can a golf ball get water logged, Yes, but
it's very apparent. So like the balls that you will find,
it's not really water logged. It's more it's bubbled is
probably the proper term. So balls get bubbled. The only
place you'll find a ball like that is in a
(12:20):
hit away batch from us, and that is the lowest
grade golf ball that you will find. So that is
like you are buying you know, it's the reason why
they're so cheap. You're buying golf balls that like you're
going to hit into the lake, into the inner coastal
and but you want to hit like some prov's or
something or whatever. But it is like you're putting them down.
You don't care what they look like because they're getting
(12:41):
blasted into a lake or getting blasted into a backyard
something like that. So any ball that we sell is
not water logged unless or bubbled, unless it's in the
hit away. And then if anybody purchases a product and
they have any issues with our product, you know, we
stand behind our product. So you know, a simple email
to us with you know, an image of your product,
(13:02):
and we make sure that everybody's happy at the end
of the day. You know, we have a lot of
five star reviews, I mean mainly five star reviews every
single day. You know, for every for every twenty five
star reviews we get, we maybe get one four star,
and then after that it's like for every you know,
one hundred you know, five stars we get, we probably
get you know, one three star and then usually if
(13:23):
it's a if we get a three star or two star.
One star review usually has something to do with you know, shipping,
where a customer's order got lost and then you know,
we have to file a claim and comes a little process,
usually resolved in forty eight to seventy two hours. But
you know some people, you know, they expect their stuff
the next day and if it gets lost, you know,
we can't do a whole lot about it, but we're
here to work with them until until their their orders resolved.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
So now one thing too with our hitaways too, we
have tested went out on the golf floors and made
a birdie with that golf ball and it had a
big bubbled on it, so maybe the performing it's where
we thought like.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Oh it's gonna completely not go straight. I went down
the middle. It might not go as far right. You
know that fall is probably internally damage.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Does have the bubble in the air pocket in it,
but it's still the archer, not the arrow at the end.
And if you can make a birdie with that double ball,
you can make a birdy with a slightly used golf
ball or a new one.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I mean, it really makes.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
No difference and save fifty dollars and you.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Guys have free shipping on orders. What's seventy five dollars
in higher right.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, so it's like about a forty eight it's about
thirty six balls. So usually like forty eight pack is
like the sweet spot, and that's a good that's a
good package if you're if you're a good golfer or
you know you play, play a good amount of golf,
you know that will get you through, you know, a
couple of months of golf and you know, then you
come back and it's it's about every quarter. I think
a forty eight pack if you if you play a
(14:55):
lot of golf, you know, every quarter, you probably come
back for more balls.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
And I can attest because I am also a client,
not only am I a hairclub.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
That's pretty that's awesome.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
Yeah, I was curious how they were going to arrive.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Yeah, So that's actually our twelve pack. But we're getting
away from our boxes and we're just doing twelve pack
bags and four ninety six packs, and we also sell
five hundred and certain types of golf balls.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
That we have environmentally friendly.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Conscious talk about Balls for Change. I know that's an
initiative that's important to you guys.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, So so Balls for Changes is the pairing company.
That's that's the that's the bigger picture thing, right. So
our goal with Balls for Change is to be able
to use profits from byyeballs and and the diet of
recovery to then go back and give back to you know,
organizations within golf. So it's a big thing that that
(15:53):
we saw where a lot of these companies, I mean
most of these companies, they're not golfers. So you can
go talk to the the be owners and founders of
these companies and they don't play golf, and if they do,
they're not very good. You know, they don't have connections
within the golf industry. And you know, we want to
we want to work with you know, PGA programs, We
(16:13):
want to work with you know first T programs, you know,
give back product uh to to these programs, donate money
to help kind of you know, expand the game of golf.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
You know, uh.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
South Arder PGA for example, they have really good initiatives.
They have about I think three or four charities within
their organization and you know it could be anything from
you know, helping you know, kids struggling with you know,
you know, illnesses and stuff like that, or you know
military uh soldiers who just come back that want to
get into golf, but they can't necessarily afford it. So,
(16:47):
you know, Balls Are Change is a big initiative. It's
the overall bigger picture. But in order for you know,
the Balls for Change UH life cycle to work, you know,
we need to buy my ball side to perform, and
then we also need a diving side the perform. So
you know, if everything works together, you know, our proof
and our master plan works really well.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
So yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
We're you know, constantly making donations. We are we have
a tournament coming up, uh what Wounded Warriors or Hope
for Warriors, Mike, I think is the uh is a
tournament we made it just made a good sized donation
to them. UH Play for Pink, which is big in
women's breast cancer in the golf space. We make a
(17:29):
donation to them every year. You know, there's there's a
couple of others, but you know, we're in our early stages.
We've probably donated more than any other company that's been
around for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Cool.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
So yeah, that's awesome. You guys are doing great work.
It was awesome talking about the company. But we are
a Philly based podcast and we always have to ask
this question.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
We're not sure if you guys have.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Ever ventured that far up north in the US, but
if you have, is there a Philadelphia course that you
love or have played?
Speaker 7 (17:59):
And let's talk about it.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah, my my roots are actually from New Jersey and Philadelphia.
My birds from yep, Goberts Uh, Phillies, Eagles, Uh Flyers,
a little bit kind of you know, my my whole
family has had six are back. They're having locker room issues,
so that's that's another conversation. But yeah, I'm from My
(18:22):
family is from l b I Long Beach Island. Parents
grew up in Bucks County, so you know, I have
a lot of family up and up there. Uh. My
family were members of Squires. I played a lot of
played a lot of golf. Uh, played a lot of
(18:43):
golf up there growing up. You know, there's a lot
of great courses, you know, Cricket Club and stuff like
that too, and ironic I played. I played a lot
of golf courses.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Squires a good one, how about you, Mike.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
So Unfortunately I've been to Philly several times, I have
not golf up in Philly.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
You got to change that.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Yeah, but I'm a true Floridian born and raised where
I like to call ourselves now, especially down here, we're
a rare breed uh locals.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Yeah, we just felt there's not too manyture Flordians down
here anymore. There's a girl from New York, Philly?
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Are you calling me out? I'm right here.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Maybe I hope, I hope to be right behind, right
behind everybody in there.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Well, then give us your your favorite course down here.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
So my favorite course down probably uh in South Florida exactly,
probably MacArthur or quil Value.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
And MacArthur is such a great logo, Yeah, one of
my favorite.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
It's a classic. It's a classic logo. And probably third
would be down here too, of course.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Very cool.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
H Well, what is the what is the You guys
aren't tied to any brands you selling, you know, you
sell them all.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
But what is the the most requested? Is it a
pro V one?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I mean, but what do people want the most?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
So it's actually so PROB one and PROV one extra
hot sellers. But I think in terms of volume of
what we move a lot of I mean we move
a lot of prov's I mean, it's it's incredible how
many prov and prov ones, but they are you know,
they generate a lot of you know, revenue just because
they are a higher price item on our website. But
we move a lot of callaway mixes, so that's going
(20:27):
to be you know, anything that's not a chrome soft
or erc but we move a absolute ton of those.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Your store bran, I mean, our Stor brand is a
certain like a bunch of different golf ball combinations like
the Wilson, the Kirkland, Kinnicle, Pinnacle, Nike mixed in a
bag and like they sell too. I mean it really
I kind of learned in this industry, Like I was
a prob one guy my entire life and then I
switched for a while for a bit.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
I still do.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
I play it every now and then. Is the tour
response that came out with the lime stripe. I think
the putting just it just helps me on putting better.
But I mean everyone has a preference on it. But yeah,
I mean it's really some people like Ferrari, some people
like Flamborghini's. It's really what people like in the field.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
So that's kind of how I look at it.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Nice. Nice, So obviously a big time coming up, right,

(21:50):
time to jump on get product for the season or
if you have any golf trips coming up. Subscription plan.
We're we're almost there. We're working on rolling out a
program where you know, if you're if you're up north,
you know, we want to time it out where you're
not buying golf balls when there's snow on the ground,
because there's no point.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
So we need to We needed to fine tune kind
of our offerings a little bit because we didn't want
to offer a program where we're sending golf balls every
you know, two months and uh and for you know,
five of those months, you know, there's six feet snow
on the ground. So we're working on fine tooing that
coming up with a really good program, so that should
be rolling out soon. We would have liked to roll
(22:34):
it out for for Black Friday. It's not gonna be ready.
It's a lot of coding and custom stuff on the
back end, but you know, we think jan one will
probably have a good program to get you know, everybody

Speaker 4 (25:00):

just a little hint, so yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I got it.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Uh so the butter Butterfield Bermuda Championship. You guys are
gonna have to help me here because just like Rafael
Campus who had one week your old daughter, I also
had had my daughter, so I didn't watch too much
too much golf. I'm gonna be gonna be honest, but
we got you. Six year old from Puerto Rico gets
(25:29):
it done. Chi Chi Rodriguez. That name came up at
during the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I heard, right, how.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Great is that?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
You know?
Speaker 7 (25:37):
This?
Speaker 8 (25:37):
This one puts him alongside Chigi Rodriguez like one of
Puerto Rico's most iconic athletes. Obviously, the first Puerto Rican
to win on the PGA Tour. But how do we
talk about Gigi and not talk about the sword dance
pretending to duel with his putter or brand and I
were actually watching videos last night at Chichi. He said
the one time he hit a putt and it was
(25:58):
a berdie for Bertie, but the ball went in the
cup and then it ended up bouncing back out.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
So then CHEEGI said he would take off his hat
and put.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
It over the whole every single time because he's like,
that's not coming back out now until I go over.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
And he always had a great hat on.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, he was always.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Well, yeah, yeah, straw Fedora. You know, it's really cool.
But yeah, what an emotional story, Isn't it crazy? How
golf it just always seems to you know, these stories
come together where you know, this guy has, like you
mentioned Moos his daughter six days you know prior. You know,
he's thirty six, he's a journeyman. He's been bouncing around
(26:36):
from tour to tour. He's about to lose his status. Okay,
that's why he's on the Fall series. He had missed
thirteen of fourteen cuts and he comes into too Bermuda
and it all comes together one bit good week and Danielle,
you talk about this all the time, like and it's
just amazing, Like he just unloaded lost it after you know,
(26:56):
the final pot and everything, like the emotion was just unbelievable.
And you know, this guy had been what he had
twenty four events on the PGA Tour in twenty twenty four,
he made eight cuts, had two top tens and now
gets a win after thirteen or fourteen missed cuts and
now for.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
The next yeah, fourtya turned pro?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
What way back in twenty eleven, had been on the
you know, the Canadian Tour, the Latino American Tour, the
corn Ferry Tour, just bouncing around and now he's got
to win.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
It's it's unbelievable. And he's playing this week too.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I thought he'd take a week off, no, you know,
they get ready for Hawaii, but he's playing this week
at the RSM.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
So oh yeah. Enter the final round tide for the lead.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Clutched sixty eight, had a little bit of a slow
start there, but birdied six, seven, ten, eleven, and then
now you know, one point two one point three.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Million dollars somewhere yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
Secured his PGA Tour card for the next two years.
And one of the sweetest aspects take it to the
Masters exactly, and he's not on the outside the ropes.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
And the iron.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He made bogie on fourteen, okay, from about two or
three feet he missed a putt, and that would shake
people to their core. You know, you've got what, you know,
four holes left to go, a couple of shots in
the lead, and all of a sudden you miss what
should be a gimme.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
The wind is howling, you know, and it was all week.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
He hit an iron shot into fifteen that was just splendid.
After he teed off with an iron, Then sixteen, which
is that part three two hundred and twenty two hundred
and thirty yards with the wind howling, he sticks an
iron in there like he just hit unbelievable golf shots
when he had to made birdie on seventeen and then
held it together on eighteen. I think he made bogie
(28:44):
on eighteen after he hit it over to green, but
bogey or par. Maybe it was either par or bogie,
But just to be able to hold it together with
all that he was going through was really something to watch.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
I mean, I love how golf is becoming a full
year around sport.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
The fall has not disappointed Now I think I think
it's only going to get better. Right, we don't know
what's going to happen. We had we had Donald sitting
next to Yeser at the UFC, so there might be
some movement with that. You know, there might be more
golf with with you know, better uh better fields soon.
So love to see it.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
And we talked to part of me.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
We talked a little bit about this last week moves
Harry and I but justin lower and just like you know,
we talked about kind of his entire career and how
he's you know, flirted with the bubble and things of
that nature. But I mean the golf he is playing
right now, he's just I'm rooting hard for him.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
I'm watching him.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
If if he doesn't win this week, I mean, it's
definitely upcoming soon.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
This kind of came on glued a little bit in
the final round in Bermuda because he was close there.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Too, real close.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
But mentally you gotta think, you know you're it's when
you're contending like T two, you're you're in that first
little swipe of the leaderboard for the past several weeks.
I mean mentally, it's got to do a little bit too.
So he's he's there and you know we're going to
see something from him soon. Maybe we just need him
on the podcast to give him the little you know.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Helps you get the efforting compos By the way, yeah,
how's how's your Spanish?
Speaker 7 (30:15):
Bueno?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Exactly?
Speaker 4 (30:17):
You get the Austin egro bump when you come on
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
That's right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
But I appreciate you guys holding it down last week
in my great listen. I don't I don't recommend people
spending time in hospital, but it's a great listen while
you're in there. You know, if anyone's listening right.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Now, for we're honored you listen to him.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Of course, of course. Uh, Danielle, do you have some
tea to spill on this?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (30:40):
I know it is cold cold.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Just a couple of different things that we can talk about.
One I feel like we have to. There's no way
avoiding this is that the PGA tour made a bunch
of changes and they kind of just snuck it in.
I think it was like on like a Friday while
the rest of you know, a team or team the
rest of the tours playing. So Lucas lover who hopefully
friend of the show. Soon he came out with saying,
(31:06):
you know, I think it's terrible and then hiding behind
the pace of play. I think challenges are intelligence. They
think we're stupid. Don't cut fields because it's a pace
of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just
say you're trying to appease six guys and make them
happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf
exactly right, and so many other golfers, agents, players.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
At what's up LPGA playing Yeah, yeah, Lucas. Lucas called
it out for what it is.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Really and if you see the doc that the PGA
Tour released it they kind of were trying to hide
behind pace of play. From Lucas's standpoint, you know, I'm
gonna just stay biased there.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
But pardon me.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
You look at it and said, okay, we need to
cut the fields to speed things up. We need to
do this to speed things up, We need to do that.
So Lucas was just like, no, you want the guys
at the top to be happy. You're taking away corn
Ferry Tour cards. You're taking away signature spots in the
signature events. There's if you go through the list, there's
a bunch of different omissions and unrestricted sponsors. Exemptions have changed,
(32:21):
field sizes have changed, there's a ton of changes. Yeah,
and it's it's you know, the way we see this
game is going to be changing more and more as
we move forward.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
So interested to see what's going on.
Speaker 8 (32:36):
But at the end of the day, we've talked about
it so many times, like nobody's buying tickets to something
that you know they don't want to see. So if
we need those top guys in there, we'll see. But
then you have a guy like Rafa who wins, who
wouldn't be in one of those elevated events or anything else.
That emotion, that humanization. People were loving it, that it
(32:57):
was all over social you know, it's just it's it's
kind of you know, you see.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Both sides of it.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
Yes, sorry, I was so enthralled in that I forgot
I was sharing the tea.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
I was just stuck on that.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
We talked about it last week here that Bryson is
still trying to hit those wedge shots. Yeah, over his house,
over his house, so I think it.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Must see too, Like, do you see the amount of
views he's getting millions and millions of views?
Speaker 7 (33:24):
It's yeah.
Speaker 8 (33:26):
And so his caption was like, oh my god, or
something along those lines, and I was like, oh, he
did it. And I got sucked in by his marketing
ploy and I watched and I'm gonna spoil it for
you guys.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
He didn't make the hole in one, but he had.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Ten shots and he was getting them closed. So if
you watch, you know, somewhere off the rocks in the front.
But it's entertaining, it's not I.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Mean, did you watch the Saint Andre Golf? We really
shared it. Their their take on it. They are they
are my favorite in the golf comedy social media world
right now. They just crush it. Every time Saint Andre Golf.
You'd recognize him if you. If you, you probably don't
recognize the name. But when you look at look at
(34:09):
our look at our Instagram story, it's still up there.
Go back and see it. But they do their version
of I don't know if you can see the guy,
but this that's the guy right He's going over his house, Yeah,
and his wife. It's awesome, But like think about you know,
I posted it to like how many windows would you
break and how long would you take? Like his dispersion
rate is like within three feet with all these balls.
(34:30):
I can't you guys have changed the pin position because
he's not getting any roll back. But I like, like,
in like like eight shots, he doesn't make a hole
in one over his house. He's like, come on, why
can't I get this?
Speaker 8 (34:42):
But like you said, that dispersion right, like all the
balls like I could be like a circle, yeah, all
within which is wild.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
And I said that to Harry.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
I was like, he's not throwing stones, but he's hitting
golf shots.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
And you know, thankfully.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Love Bryson right now. He liked our, he liked the
the reshare that I put out there was that really
it was yeah, I've been fooled before, but yeah it.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
Was only once.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
All right, Let's go into Harry's favorite player of all time, Rory.
He closes twenty twenty fourth season in you know, spectacular fashion,
if you will, by the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
This was his fourth win of the year, including two
on the BGA Tour, and this was his first on
the DP World Tour since January, so I kind of
forgot about that. Finished fifteen under claiming a two shot
(35:33):
victory over Rasmus. Yeah hooy guard and also secured his
sixth Race to Dubai title, tying sev and moving him
a little bit closer to call Montgomery's record of eight.
Speaker 7 (35:49):
Soya, and do you take any of that in here?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I saw some of it.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
You know, it's on in the morning, so I watched
a little bit of it for wasn't wasn't surprised that
he held on.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
I mean, you know, he kills it over there, and.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I mean if he doesn't have a second or third
home over in Dubai, he's doing something wrong wrong.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
He's made a lot of money over there.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
He and his caddie were quite happy.
Speaker 8 (36:15):
Yeah yeah, nice sentiments about each other.
Speaker 7 (36:20):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
The weird story that came out about that too, which
was just bizarro and it since been, you know, pulled
down and apologized.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
I don't know how this stuff gets started. I really don't.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
It's so easy these days just to put something out
there and people just run with it.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:34):
But I mean, but also you can make money off
of it. It's clickbait, you know. If I say, you know,
Harry Mays is gonna.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
I'll do it. I'll do it.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Yeah. We have Michael our producer. The other day, I'm
gonna clip it. I'm gonna put that out there. So yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:51):
While twenty twenty four for Rory both yea personally and
professionally runner up the US Open and the Irish Open.
So nice for him to finish it on a high note.
And another what three million in tournament prizes and two
million for a race to divide bonus. So if you
want to donate to uh golf, the golf for balls,
(37:15):
who are good good for balls, say correctly a good yeah,
my goodness with the Z then go ahead, Rory up,
hit him up? What else do we have so we
can get into the arms. Oh yes, let's talk about that.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Uh on for the seventh time.
Speaker 8 (37:33):
Insane and seven wins in a single season. So she
joins golf legends Kathy Whitworth and Nancy Lopez with that
seventh win. And then this season's final tournament is also
this week, the CMME, which is underway in Naples, Florida.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
And we have Nelly, we have Lydia Coe.
Speaker 8 (37:52):
Some of their top players, you know, competing for the
end of year honor, so I didn't get a chance
to look at where she's at right now, but.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
We shall see.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
She was the first American to win seven times in
a season since Beth Daniel did it way back in
nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (38:08):
Yeah, that's wild there.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Down to her and Charlie too, which was pretty cool,
and that Charlie had a bad final round, but Harry cried,
anytime you can get those two on TV together, I mean,
that's that'll do eyeballs and that'll grow the game.
Speaker 7 (38:23):
Oh for sure. Very entertaining.
Speaker 8 (38:24):
And then her brother was out there to watch her,
you know, grab that win, and I think.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
It's the first time he's seen her win live, which
I found bizarre.
Speaker 8 (38:33):
Yeah yeah, I mean that's a that's a family of athletes.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, what's it?
Speaker 7 (38:39):
What's in those genes?
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Beautiful? All right?
Speaker 5 (38:42):
Good?
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Did did you guys you get to see the my
Patrick's revenge video that the Great Tie Mike guy put
out there?
Speaker 2 (38:50):
That was fund Yeah, it's bizarre where they had like
the hose on the green and stuff.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that was awesome.
Speaker 7 (38:58):
Yeah. From that tournament, you guys, it's.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Like It's such a fun tournament.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Every year.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Legacy Club does a great job. A lot of courses
do their greenskeepers revenge, but this is one we always
we look forward to. We had a blast out there, so.
Speaker 7 (39:10):
Uh, it always so much fun.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
And then Harry, we're gonna be on location next week.
Really excited about this. Danielle, wish you were up here
with us. Are you coming back up this way next week? Thanksgiving?
No staying yea. So the great Marco from from Ticks
for Good is they're having an event, a Turkey shoot
at none other than Trout National Stop. We are going
(39:35):
to get our eyes on the place. We're gonna play
Silica Sands, which is the part three the Short Course
Wednesday next Wednesday. Uh so we're gonna We're gonna probably
do a little remote kind of recording down there, hopefully
get some some footage and some content if we're allowed
to film. But I'm excited, Harry, just to get my
eyes on the place. There's been so much hype around it,
(39:57):
and we're gonna be able to play the play the course,
play the short Course.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Yeah, no doubt about it. Yeah, it looks like.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
It looks like high forties and we're not. I think
if we're off at noon, I mean we should be
all right. If it's not windy, we'll be okay.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yeah, forty six, it says here, So that's I'll take it.
It's not too bad. The wind is enough.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
But check out Ticks for Good. I mean, they are
friends of ours and they do some really cool stuff
and it's it's such a simple and easy and great
concept to do good and get a chance to win
some incredible prizes that are legit, right, I know, there's
a lot of weird stuff out there. These guys are
you know, you pick your favorite charity that you want
to donate to and you're entered into to win trips
(40:38):
to the Masters, you know, incredible stuff that they put
up their concerts. So check those guys out and more
to come on that next week when we are alive
from Trout National to Reserve.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Yeah, looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
And of course, uh now it's Q school time and
we got some local guys making some hay down in Georgia.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Down in Savannah. There's five sites.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Around the country that are that are at the second stage.
There's like qualifying, then first stage, then second stage, then
final stage, which is in Panavidra coming up in December
twelfth through the fifteenth.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
But we got.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Braden Shaddock is in the mix. I think he's one
shot out of the qualifying right now. But Chris Crawford
who played at Drexel and was out, you know, as
one of the alternates for the US Open out in
Los Angeles two years ago. Mike Dinda of course works
(41:34):
with works with chrisy. He's currently second place right now,
there's to The leaders are at eighteen under.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
This is through three rounds.
Speaker 7 (41:43):
They got one more round to go, and this is
stage two.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Right yeah, this is stage two.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Like the top eighteen I believe will make it to
the final stage. Crawford is currently alone in second place
at sixteen under par and Shaddock is a is one
shot out.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Of the mix right now.
Speaker 7 (42:01):

make it, but uh, we could have two guys make
it to final stage of Q School, and then we
got to congratulate our buddy Michael Mike Brown who was
actually advanced h to the final stage of PGA Tour champions.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
Q School, which is really difficult to get to get to.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
That takes place December third through the sixth out in
Scottsdale at the TPC Course. He finished t six in
his qualifier at three under part to make it, so
he's already in the final stage, so that would be
really cool.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Love it.
Speaker 8 (42:55):
Yeah, we have an I have to I'm trying to
figure out where he's at right now, but we're lining
up a bunch of guests, and then we have Patrick Newcomb.
He's going to come on the podcast and talk to us.
He's currently in the middle of Q School, so he
let's see, he said, I'm leaving for Q School this
week and then Thanksgiving in second stage, so he's in
Savannah right now. So do you have that funny Harry,
(43:16):
what's Patrick Newcomb.
Speaker 7 (43:17):
At right now?
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Let me try to find him.
Speaker 8 (43:19):
And then December eleventh would be final stage. Cordon Ferry
Tour or he flies to Asia for Asian Tour final stage.
So these guys, it just gives you a glimpse. Nobody
realizes the grind to get there.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
He's currently four under par so he's a couple shots out.
He's from Kentucky.
Speaker 7 (43:37):
Oh yeah, he's a blast. You guys love him. You
might have met him Atanita Invitational.
Speaker 8 (43:42):
But yeah, hopefully he gets it rolling because he's saying
he can get real silly with the putter and just
kind of blackout once he starts going.
Speaker 7 (43:50):
So let's wish some of that luck on him there
and get him up that leaderboard.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
I love it. So we are.
Speaker 4 (43:55):
We're recording a little bit late this week, so we're
not going to see the line because you're in the
middle of it. But we have the the RSM Classic,
the final event of twenty twenty four. I know right
Sea Island and you know the Penn Club on Second Harry.
They have an event coming up too. On twelve to one.
They're doing a watch party with Fox Sports the Game
where our buddy Sean Brace for the Eagles Ravens game.
(44:16):
They're gonna have some contest long drive closest to the pin,
so it be a lot of fun. We'll be doing
event out there soon once the heart of the golf
season kicks back into But great courses down in Sea
Island here.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
Yeah, Sea Island Resort is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
They have three golf courses. Two of them are used
for this tournament. The Plantation Course, which was a Walter
Travis who designed Scranton. He is the original designer. Davis
Love and his brother Mark Love came in and did
a sort of a redesign or a refurbishment, and then
they got the Seaside Course, which is where they play
(44:52):
three of the four rounds, which was a Harry Colt
original which Tom Fozzio came in and renovated their short
horses for PGA Tour standards. Just you know, right around
seven thousand yards. Seasidees a par seventy and the Plantation
is a par seventy two. The average green size moves
seventy two hundred square feet, so a lot of three
(45:13):
putts for us, probably forty seven bunkers, fourteen water hazards
and waters in play on thirteen of the holes for
the Seaside course, Bermuda grass fairways and rough and with
a rye grass overset and the average landing area forty
seven yards wide, so you can hit the fairway and
hit the green, but you better make a lot of putts.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
And I played.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
They actually have both the plantation and the seaside at
Penn Club, and I was playing some of the holes
on the.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Seaside last night.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
So the signature holes, that thirteenth hole you can see
behind me, and it's a really beautiful spot.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Cost me about that not well enough. I didn't drive
it well enough. There's marsh everywhere, there's bunkers everywhere.
Speaker 8 (45:58):
It's so cool that you can just over there and
play the same course as these guys are playing.
Speaker 7 (46:02):
You know what I mean, really ten, you're out there too.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
Well. Yeah, they've got a category on the computer for
tour tour courses, like the place where the tour goes,
so you can just filter it in there like that.
So yeah, PC two Conchi dot com had a couple
of guys sign up this week.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
From my club, so I love it. We're always taking memberships.
Speaker 7 (46:23):
Just checking the leaderboard.
Speaker 8 (46:24):
Now we got mad Yeah, yep, even through two.
Speaker 7 (46:29):
But he's eight under total.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
That would be cool.
Speaker 7 (46:32):
Andrew Novak up there again.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Yeah, that's the guy I took. I put a wager
in on him for a top ten at plus three
point thirty. He's a he's a Sea Island resident and
finished second in the Permuta.
Speaker 7 (46:44):
Event and Griffin Island two.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Ben Griffin's always up there.
Speaker 8 (46:48):
And he's slowly just collecting and stacking cash and FedEx
points there.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Right.
Speaker 4 (46:55):
This was the year last year when Obert went went
off and went twenty nine under.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
Yeah, imagine he's in the field this week, but it's
the first time he's playing in an event since having
the knee surgery.
Speaker 7 (47:09):
Yeah, it's his return, yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
Yeah, and he got off to a tough start.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
He made a triple bogie on one of the early
holes on Thursday was plus five.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
The last I saw. I don't know what he's at
right now.
Speaker 7 (47:19):
You got me think returning after being out of the
mix for so long, you have nerves just in general,
Like somebody once described the adrenaline of standing on you know,
that first tea box that a It feels like a
tiger is chasing you, but your feet are glued to
the ground.
Speaker 8 (47:36):
And I'm like, I can't imagine like just sitting there
and there's like people just staring at you and that's like, okay,
let me just make contact with this ball and keep
it in the fairway like mine, be in the drink.
Good for balls will be in there fishing.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
It out if he'd come with your own dive team.
Speaker 7 (47:52):
Right, all right, boys, we're probably going right with this one.
Speaker 4 (47:58):
All right, Well, we will be back next week. Harry
and I on location, Excited to get out there. Thanks
again to Max and Mike from Buy My Balls. Check
those guys out, see what they have to offer, and
we'll be back next week. Looking forward to see who
wins this last event of twenty twenty four. It's been
an incredible twenty twenty four golf season, so let's see
(48:18):
who gets it done.

An iHeartMedia Podcasts presented by Comcast Business, introducing Ultimate Speed

Powering Possibilities. As we this is gonna be a weather
We know it, Harry, It's gonna be a weather talk.
This is when we ask ourselves why do we live
in this area? You know, although our friends down in
(00:53):
Florida a little chilly this morning. But well we'll talk
about that a little a little bit more. Also, the
Penn Club on second, we got to talk about a
little event coming up there soon and.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
We'll talk about them.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, when we talk about Sea Island a little bit
later in the show. But we are joined by Max
Sherman and Michael Hall from Buy My Balls with Welcome
in with the Z. Of course, everybody knows that it'll
be silly. What's up, guys, welcome to swing and think
it good good, So, you know, we obviously want to
talk about the whole the whole thing, and we'll get
(01:26):
a little We like to talk about the golf journey
in here because we were always intrigued by people that
work in the game of golf, because it's something that
we would all love to do more. And you guys
have found a way which is pretty cool. But just
talk to us a little bit about how this started
and the idea about launching this company and where you
guys are now.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
All right, So I think I'll take it away for
a little bit.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
So I guess Max and I have been friends since
high school, going around the block, and I started working
for his dad's.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Company, and we kind of got bored one day and
we were like, hey, what can we do that we
both love?
Speaker 6 (02:02):
And we kind of were like messing around some ideas
and we're like, hey, we both love golf and I
used to do this and I was a little kid
not to be extreme of.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
What we're doing now.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
But what went around, you know, kind of collected golf
balls in the neighborhood and kind of gathered.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Them and sold them to golfers that drove by and
stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
When I was a kid and I had the idea
with Max. One day, we were driving from work and
we were like, hey, like, why don't we sell golf balls?
So we went around kind of did our research, and
we flipped like thirty thousand golf balls with one month.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
And we're like, Okay, I think we have something there.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
And from there we kind of went around and started
talking to suppliers and kind of networking and kind of
understanding the industry and we were like, Wow, this industry.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Is just like the wild wild West. There's really no
structure around it.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
And we want to create something where there's actually true
structure and kind of bring this industry to you know,
as a whole and make it better for a Max
kind of take it over on Like how we kind
of start to do that now It's it's pretty exciting.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
So we after we looked at the whole you know,
industry as a whole, we we really did like a
feasibility analysis and like a market analysis, right, we looked
at like every sector of the golf industry because we
were like, okay, you know, is this the best things
we want I want to enter into like training aids,
a pair all this or that. And we were like,
you know what, like golf balls is something that everybody
(03:25):
needs and nobody really wants to pay for it because
they're expensive. I mean I was in Arizona probably eight
months ago and I was at a golf course and
it was sixty eight dollars before a tax for a
box of prov ones. I'm like, that's just ridiculous for
twelve golf balls. Nobody wants to pay pay that to
Nobody just wants to pay that. So what we looked
(03:46):
at was how can we provide a really high quality
product to people, make a part of golf more affordable,
and then they can allocate you know, the funds that
they would be paying towards, you know, a green fees,
you know, drinks after the round, stuff like that. So
we looked into you know, how are we going to
(04:06):
get these golf balls because you know, suppliers are one thing,
and we're like, we got to get into the lakes,
Like how do we get into the lakes. How does
this whole process start. Our home golf course in West
Palm Beach, Florida was super super helpful in the beginning
of this process. They they kind of like walked us
through how the process works for them. So if they
have a company come out, this is how it works,
(04:28):
is how much they're paying. And then we looked at them,
We're like, okay, let us have a trial. And they're
looked at us like we're crazy, Like we're like, let us.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Dive your lakes.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
So we got in the lakes. We figured it out.
We brought in these balls and I mean these balls
were discussed and they had clamshells on them. They had
you know mud sir and Mike and Iron his backyard
at his house with a with a dog pool, dumping
balls in a dog pool. Not knowing what we're doing,
We're like, we don't know what the cleaning these way.
We have like Don dish So because Don Dishop was
(05:01):
used to clean ducts in an oil spill, we can
use you know them to clean golf balls. Well, that
doesn't work. Like play with like you know, concoctions and
try and not blow ourselves up with like you know,
mixing this and that and we turn into like chemists. Briefly,
it was like, uh.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
Breaking in the backyard.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
It was it was horrible, and we were we were
like sitting in his backyard with like like cloths, like
literally cleaning golf ball after golf ball. I mean, keep
us in mind, we got like thirty thousand golf balls.
We're going one out of time, and we're like this
just this just isn't it? Like this this is worth it.
So we kind of put the project to the side
(05:41):
for a couple of months and we we focused on
really like how do we do this properly? And we
really did more research and then we kind of figured
it out. We invested in some cleaning tools, and we
we figured out how to get into the golf club.
We we have a partnership with the South Florida PGA
down here. We're the only i've company and and golf
(06:02):
ball recovery company that has partnered with them. They've had
other partners in the past, but you know, now they're
down to you know, just us, and you know we're
we're local. We grew up playing in South RDA PG events,
h F JT events, a j g A events, all
these you know golf events. So we were very familiar
with a lot of these directors of golfs and these
these head pro so striking conversation with them was like
(06:24):
second major. It wasn't like a salesman. It's just like, hey,
this is what we're doing. You know, we grew up
down here, like we love the opportunity and uh, you
know we've been we've been lucky and fortunate to grow
our business, get more golf courses. We have an amazing
dive team. They come in, they're they're really really good
at what they do. They're they're safety first. You know,
(06:45):
it's it's a dangerous industry when it.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Comes to diving.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
But then the other side of it is, you know
buy my balls dot Com selling the golf balls. That's
a beast of its own. You know, there's a there's
a lot of golf balls. You know, this week alone,
we've probably processed one hundred and fifty thousand balls just
this week on an off week. And you know that's
going from everything we do is hand sorted no AI.
So you know we have people in our shop sorting
(07:08):
everything out by brand and by you know, prob one,
prob one X, left Dash, this and that, So there's
another step and then it's great like min near mint
Pristeam so it's it's a monster. But you know, our
goal is to be able to sell a you know,
really good golf ball to people and save the money.
Where Mike and I are golfers, we know we know
(07:30):
pain points in golf and you know we totally understand
what people go through. And golf is a dying sport
not too long ago, So.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Brilliant concept and how you guys came up with that.
I love the testing in the backyard everything else.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
I'm going to.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
Start with one location tip on us. One the inner
coastal between where we used to live in Tiger Wood's house.
We would sit there and just try to hit balls
in Tiger's yard over the inner coastal.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
So there's probably no.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
Less than like fifty dozen prov's. I lived with four
golfers or aspiring pro golfers. So there that's a lethora
of golf balls right in that location.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
I can give you the exact spot and you can
send send your divers right there.
Speaker 8 (08:12):
Have you guys ever done diving? Do you guys when
you're on the course, do.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
You have you know, Yeah, I was curious about the
diving part.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Yeah, I won't dive in that water per se, but.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I would definitely dive like offshore or I used to
free dive when I was a little kid of Bombas So.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Yeah, definitely like that. Yeah, no visibility, no, thank you.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Yeah, and especially in Florida water.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Okay, Now I need to know, do you guys, how
much self ConTroll do you exhibit? If any when you're
out playing yourself and you maybe hit went offline, you
see a bunch of other balls there, possibly are you
picking them up and storing them to bring back for
the business.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
No.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
But you know when we play golf courses, like our
thing is like we'll just go get it later kind
of thing. So like anytime we play a golf course
that we have a lot of contracts down here, so
you know most courses we play down here, or it's like, oh,
we lost it in the water, like one of my
friends lose it in the water. I'm just like, yeah,
I'll just go get that later. And then they look
at me and they're just like.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
It's like, we'll get that for you. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Yeah, I'll sell it back to you in two months.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
That's exactly what we say. But yeah, no, I we're
we're we're like pretty golf balled out. At the end
of the day, we see a lot of balls. Take
it for what it is, but we there's there's so many,
so many golf balls that we have to you know,
(09:33):
manage on a daily basis, and when when we get
to a golf course, we're just like, oh my god,
Like I don't know whether it's it's buying range balls
or diving for golf balls. You know, people come up
to us and they're like, oh, we have you know,
five hundred balls, a thousand balls, Like do you want
to buy them from us? Or just like sure, but
like can you wait until.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You have more?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
And they're like wait, that's not enough, or like you know,
you should see what we're bringing in.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
This is like, yeah, well, congrats on the website. I
was just on it this morning. It's really the presentation
is fantastic. Buyminballs dot com and I'd like to see
if you guys could get into the grading system because
that's that was where what I was really interested in
and who determines, you know, what's pristine and what's mint
and so forth.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
How do you guys figure that out?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yeah, Mike, you want to take that one away?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
So I mean, like as Max and I are visual,
like we've been growing up the game of.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Golf our whole life. So I feel like our grading
the industry as a standard.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
I truthfully do not know how that standard became a thing.
What we started was like, Okay, we're golfers, what do
I determine to be? Okay, what is a three A
golf ball or what we call a good golf ball?
Is you know, going to be somewhat slightly stuff that
you know it's been probably used in your bag.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
You probably have to a golf balls in.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Your bag already that you're playing with. But that's more
of our good golf ball than to our near mean
is a little bit step above barely any stuff marks.
You might have a few, but it's still a quality
great golf ball. And then are mints. I mean they
might have small pen and logos on them, but like
no stuffs. And then our pristines. If I took a
(11:12):
Pristine and I took a brand new Proby one out
of the bag and I give you to it and
give you and say, hey, can you tell which one
I can't difference, And I mean that's kind of winning
the industry. Is like if I knew this growing up
as like a kid with my parents saying, hey, I'm
gonna buy brand new.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Proby One's like, can you buy new prok brand broke?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
I would not have my kids die or have Proby
ones because there's just there's no difference. It makes no
sense of spending that amount of money, especially through the
level and educating.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
You know, you're growing the game, you're trying to learn
how to play, you're losing golf balls. Everyone loses golf balls.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
So the fact of paying sixty dollars for brand new
balls is the performance really getting affected by it, especially
at a level like that.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I don't think can a golf ball get water logged?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
No, Well it's a two it's a two sided question.
I can a golf ball get water logged, Yes, but
it's very apparent. So like the balls that you will find,
it's not really water logged. It's more it's bubbled is
probably the proper term. So balls get bubbled. The only
place you'll find a ball like that is in a
(12:20):
hit away batch from us, and that is the lowest
grade golf ball that you will find. So that is
like you are buying you know, it's the reason why
they're so cheap. You're buying golf balls that like you're
going to hit into the lake, into the inner coastal
and but you want to hit like some prov's or
something or whatever. But it is like you're putting them down.
You don't care what they look like because they're getting
(12:41):
blasted into a lake or getting blasted into a backyard
something like that. So any ball that we sell is
not water logged unless or bubbled, unless it's in the
hit away. And then if anybody purchases a product and
they have any issues with our product, you know, we
stand behind our product. So you know, a simple email
to us with you know, an image of your product,
(13:02):
and we make sure that everybody's happy at the end
of the day. You know, we have a lot of
five star reviews, I mean mainly five star reviews every
single day. You know, for every for every twenty five
star reviews we get, we maybe get one four star,
and then after that it's like for every you know,
one hundred you know, five stars we get, we probably
get you know, one three star and then usually if
(13:23):
it's a if we get a three star or two star.
One star review usually has something to do with you know, shipping,
where a customer's order got lost and then you know,
we have to file a claim and comes a little process,
usually resolved in forty eight to seventy two hours. But
you know some people, you know, they expect their stuff
the next day and if it gets lost, you know,
we can't do a whole lot about it, but we're
here to work with them until until their their orders resolved.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
So now one thing too with our hitaways too, we
have tested went out on the golf floors and made
a birdie with that golf ball and it had a
big bubbled on it, so maybe the performing it's where
we thought like.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Oh it's gonna completely not go straight. I went down
the middle. It might not go as far right. You
know that fall is probably internally damage.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Does have the bubble in the air pocket in it,
but it's still the archer, not the arrow at the end.
And if you can make a birdie with that double ball,
you can make a birdy with a slightly used golf
ball or a new one.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I mean, it really makes.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
No difference and save fifty dollars and you.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Guys have free shipping on orders. What's seventy five dollars
in higher right.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, so it's like about a forty eight it's about
thirty six balls. So usually like forty eight pack is
like the sweet spot, and that's a good that's a
good package if you're if you're a good golfer or
you know you play, play a good amount of golf,
you know that will get you through, you know, a
couple of months of golf and you know, then you
come back and it's it's about every quarter. I think
a forty eight pack if you if you play a
(14:55):
lot of golf, you know, every quarter, you probably come
back for more balls.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
And I can attest because I am also a client,
not only am I a hairclub.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
That's pretty that's awesome.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
Yeah, I was curious how they were going to arrive.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Yeah, So that's actually our twelve pack. But we're getting
away from our boxes and we're just doing twelve pack
bags and four ninety six packs, and we also sell
five hundred and certain types of golf balls.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
That we have environmentally friendly.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Conscious talk about Balls for Change. I know that's an
initiative that's important to you guys.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, So so Balls for Changes is the pairing company.
That's that's the that's the bigger picture thing, right. So
our goal with Balls for Change is to be able
to use profits from byyeballs and and the diet of
recovery to then go back and give back to you know,
organizations within golf. So it's a big thing that that
(15:53):
we saw where a lot of these companies, I mean
most of these companies, they're not golfers. So you can
go talk to the the be owners and founders of
these companies and they don't play golf, and if they do,
they're not very good. You know, they don't have connections
within the golf industry. And you know, we want to
we want to work with you know, PGA programs, We
(16:13):
want to work with you know first T programs, you know,
give back product uh to to these programs, donate money
to help kind of you know, expand the game of golf.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
You know, uh.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
South Arder PGA for example, they have really good initiatives.
They have about I think three or four charities within
their organization and you know it could be anything from
you know, helping you know, kids struggling with you know,
you know, illnesses and stuff like that, or you know
military uh soldiers who just come back that want to
get into golf, but they can't necessarily afford it. So,
(16:47):
you know, Balls Are Change is a big initiative. It's
the overall bigger picture. But in order for you know,
the Balls for Change UH life cycle to work, you know,
we need to buy my ball side to perform, and
then we also need a diving side the perform. So
you know, if everything works together, you know, our proof
and our master plan works really well.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
So yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
We're you know, constantly making donations. We are we have
a tournament coming up, uh what Wounded Warriors or Hope
for Warriors, Mike, I think is the uh is a
tournament we made it just made a good sized donation
to them. UH Play for Pink, which is big in
women's breast cancer in the golf space. We make a
(17:29):
donation to them every year. You know, there's there's a
couple of others, but you know, we're in our early stages.
We've probably donated more than any other company that's been
around for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Cool.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
So yeah, that's awesome. You guys are doing great work.
It was awesome talking about the company. But we are
a Philly based podcast and we always have to ask
this question.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
We're not sure if you guys have.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Ever ventured that far up north in the US, but
if you have, is there a Philadelphia course that you
love or have played?
Speaker 7 (17:59):
And let's talk about it.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah, my my roots are actually from New Jersey and Philadelphia.
My birds from yep, Goberts Uh, Phillies, Eagles, Uh Flyers,
a little bit kind of you know, my my whole
family has had six are back. They're having locker room issues,
so that's that's another conversation. But yeah, I'm from My
(18:22):
family is from l b I Long Beach Island. Parents
grew up in Bucks County, so you know, I have
a lot of family up and up there. Uh. My
family were members of Squires. I played a lot of
played a lot of golf. Uh, played a lot of
(18:43):
golf up there growing up. You know, there's a lot
of great courses, you know, Cricket Club and stuff like
that too, and ironic I played. I played a lot
of golf courses.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Squires a good one, how about you, Mike.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
So Unfortunately I've been to Philly several times, I have
not golf up in Philly.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
You got to change that.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Yeah, but I'm a true Floridian born and raised where
I like to call ourselves now, especially down here, we're
a rare breed uh locals.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Yeah, we just felt there's not too manyture Flordians down
here anymore. There's a girl from New York, Philly?
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Are you calling me out? I'm right here.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Maybe I hope, I hope to be right behind, right
behind everybody in there.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Well, then give us your your favorite course down here.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
So my favorite course down probably uh in South Florida exactly,
probably MacArthur or quil Value.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
And MacArthur is such a great logo, Yeah, one of
my favorite.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
It's a classic. It's a classic logo. And probably third
would be down here too, of course.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Very cool.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
H Well, what is the what is the You guys
aren't tied to any brands you selling, you know, you
sell them all.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
But what is the the most requested? Is it a
pro V one?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I mean, but what do people want the most?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
So it's actually so PROB one and PROV one extra
hot sellers. But I think in terms of volume of
what we move a lot of I mean we move
a lot of prov's I mean, it's it's incredible how
many prov and prov ones, but they are you know,
they generate a lot of you know, revenue just because
they are a higher price item on our website. But
we move a lot of callaway mixes, so that's going
(20:27):
to be you know, anything that's not a chrome soft
or erc but we move a absolute ton of those.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Your store bran, I mean, our Stor brand is a
certain like a bunch of different golf ball combinations like
the Wilson, the Kirkland, Kinnicle, Pinnacle, Nike mixed in a
bag and like they sell too. I mean it really
I kind of learned in this industry, Like I was
a prob one guy my entire life and then I
switched for a while for a bit.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
I still do.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
I play it every now and then. Is the tour
response that came out with the lime stripe. I think
the putting just it just helps me on putting better.
But I mean everyone has a preference on it. But yeah,
I mean it's really some people like Ferrari, some people
like Flamborghini's. It's really what people like in the field.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
So that's kind of how I look at it.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Nice. Nice, So obviously a big time coming up, right,
We got Black Friday, you got the holidays, people are listening.
A subscription would be a great gift for somebody. Just
talk about coming into a very important time a year
for you guys.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, so we have a Black Friday, you know, big
week coming up this week. We have great, great discounts
all week long starting Monday, you know, another boost on Thursday.
We're gonna roll it into Cyber Monday. Uh, Small Business
Saturday as well. You know, we're gonna have pretty much
all of our product up. You know, it's a good
(21:50):
time to jump on get product for the season or
if you have any golf trips coming up. Subscription plan.
We're we're almost there. We're working on rolling out a
program where you know, if you're if you're up north,
you know, we want to time it out where you're
not buying golf balls when there's snow on the ground,
because there's no point.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
So we need to We needed to fine tune kind
of our offerings a little bit because we didn't want
to offer a program where we're sending golf balls every
you know, two months and uh and for you know,
five of those months, you know, there's six feet snow
on the ground. So we're working on fine tooing that
coming up with a really good program, so that should
be rolling out soon. We would have liked to roll
(22:34):
it out for for Black Friday. It's not gonna be ready.
It's a lot of coding and custom stuff on the
back end, but you know, we think jan one will
probably have a good program to get you know, everybody
on board and start getting ready for golf season.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Awesome, great stuff. Make sure to check out buy my Balls,
offer still stands and Eagles game coming up. You let

mean they're perfect, they are. You could not tell the difference.
Speaker 2 (24:54):

Z star.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Yeah it's a good boy.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yeah yeah, I mean I'm using using him now, Danielle,
just a little hint, so yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I got it.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Uh so the butter Butterfield Bermuda Championship. You guys are
gonna have to help me here because just like Rafael
Campus who had one week your old daughter, I also
had had my daughter, so I didn't watch too much
too much golf. I'm gonna be gonna be honest, but
we got you. Six year old from Puerto Rico gets
(25:29):
it done. Chi Chi Rodriguez. That name came up at
during the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I heard, right, how.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Great is that?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
You know?
Speaker 7 (25:37):
This?
Speaker 8 (25:37):
This one puts him alongside Chigi Rodriguez like one of
Puerto Rico's most iconic athletes. Obviously, the first Puerto Rican
to win on the PGA Tour. But how do we
talk about Gigi and not talk about the sword dance
pretending to duel with his putter or brand and I
were actually watching videos last night at Chichi. He said
the one time he hit a putt and it was
(25:58):
a berdie for Bertie, but the ball went in the
cup and then it ended up bouncing back out.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
So then CHEEGI said he would take off his hat
and put.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
It over the whole every single time because he's like,
that's not coming back out now until I go over.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
And he always had a great hat on.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, he was always.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Well, yeah, yeah, straw Fedora. You know, it's really cool.
But yeah, what an emotional story, Isn't it crazy? How
golf it just always seems to you know, these stories
come together where you know, this guy has, like you
mentioned Moos his daughter six days you know prior. You know,
he's thirty six, he's a journeyman. He's been bouncing around
(26:36):
from tour to tour. He's about to lose his status. Okay,
that's why he's on the Fall series. He had missed
thirteen of fourteen cuts and he comes into too Bermuda
and it all comes together one bit good week and Danielle,
you talk about this all the time, like and it's
just amazing, Like he just unloaded lost it after you know,
(26:56):
the final pot and everything, like the emotion was just unbelievable.
And you know, this guy had been what he had
twenty four events on the PGA Tour in twenty twenty four,
he made eight cuts, had two top tens and now
gets a win after thirteen or fourteen missed cuts and
now for.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
The next yeah, fourtya turned pro?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
What way back in twenty eleven, had been on the
you know, the Canadian Tour, the Latino American Tour, the
corn Ferry Tour, just bouncing around and now he's got
to win.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
It's it's unbelievable. And he's playing this week too.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I thought he'd take a week off, no, you know,
they get ready for Hawaii, but he's playing this week
at the RSM.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
So oh yeah. Enter the final round tide for the lead.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Clutched sixty eight, had a little bit of a slow
start there, but birdied six, seven, ten, eleven, and then
now you know, one point two one point three.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Million dollars somewhere yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
Secured his PGA Tour card for the next two years.
And one of the sweetest aspects take it to the
Masters exactly, and he's not on the outside the ropes.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
And the iron.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He made bogie on fourteen, okay, from about two or
three feet he missed a putt, and that would shake
people to their core. You know, you've got what, you know,
four holes left to go, a couple of shots in
the lead, and all of a sudden you miss what
should be a gimme.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
The wind is howling, you know, and it was all week.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
He hit an iron shot into fifteen that was just splendid.
After he teed off with an iron, Then sixteen, which
is that part three two hundred and twenty two hundred
and thirty yards with the wind howling, he sticks an
iron in there like he just hit unbelievable golf shots
when he had to made birdie on seventeen and then
held it together on eighteen. I think he made bogie
(28:44):
on eighteen after he hit it over to green, but
bogey or par. Maybe it was either par or bogie,
But just to be able to hold it together with
all that he was going through was really something to watch.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
I mean, I love how golf is becoming a full
year around sport.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
The fall has not disappointed Now I think I think
it's only going to get better. Right, we don't know
what's going to happen. We had we had Donald sitting
next to Yeser at the UFC, so there might be
some movement with that. You know, there might be more
golf with with you know, better uh better fields soon.
So love to see it.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
And we talked to part of me.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
We talked a little bit about this last week moves
Harry and I but justin lower and just like you know,
we talked about kind of his entire career and how
he's you know, flirted with the bubble and things of
that nature. But I mean the golf he is playing
right now, he's just I'm rooting hard for him.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
I'm watching him.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
If if he doesn't win this week, I mean, it's
definitely upcoming soon.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
This kind of came on glued a little bit in
the final round in Bermuda because he was close there.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Too, real close.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
But mentally you gotta think, you know you're it's when
you're contending like T two, you're you're in that first
little swipe of the leaderboard for the past several weeks.
I mean mentally, it's got to do a little bit too.
So he's he's there and you know we're going to
see something from him soon. Maybe we just need him
on the podcast to give him the little you know.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Helps you get the efforting compos By the way, yeah,
how's how's your Spanish?
Speaker 7 (30:15):
Bueno?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Exactly?
Speaker 4 (30:17):
You get the Austin egro bump when you come on
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
That's right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
But I appreciate you guys holding it down last week
in my great listen. I don't I don't recommend people
spending time in hospital, but it's a great listen while
you're in there. You know, if anyone's listening right.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Now, for we're honored you listen to him.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Of course, of course. Uh, Danielle, do you have some
tea to spill on this?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (30:40):
I know it is cold cold.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Just a couple of different things that we can talk about.
One I feel like we have to. There's no way
avoiding this is that the PGA tour made a bunch
of changes and they kind of just snuck it in.
I think it was like on like a Friday while
the rest of you know, a team or team the
rest of the tours playing. So Lucas lover who hopefully
friend of the show. Soon he came out with saying,
(31:06):
you know, I think it's terrible and then hiding behind
the pace of play. I think challenges are intelligence. They
think we're stupid. Don't cut fields because it's a pace
of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just
say you're trying to appease six guys and make them
happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf
exactly right, and so many other golfers, agents, players.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
At what's up LPGA playing Yeah, yeah, Lucas. Lucas called
it out for what it is.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Really and if you see the doc that the PGA
Tour released it they kind of were trying to hide
behind pace of play. From Lucas's standpoint, you know, I'm
gonna just stay biased there.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
But pardon me.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
You look at it and said, okay, we need to
cut the fields to speed things up. We need to
do this to speed things up, We need to do that.
So Lucas was just like, no, you want the guys
at the top to be happy. You're taking away corn
Ferry Tour cards. You're taking away signature spots in the
signature events. There's if you go through the list, there's
a bunch of different omissions and unrestricted sponsors. Exemptions have changed,
(32:21):
field sizes have changed, there's a ton of changes. Yeah,
and it's it's you know, the way we see this
game is going to be changing more and more as
we move forward.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
So interested to see what's going on.
Speaker 8 (32:36):
But at the end of the day, we've talked about
it so many times, like nobody's buying tickets to something
that you know they don't want to see. So if
we need those top guys in there, we'll see. But
then you have a guy like Rafa who wins, who
wouldn't be in one of those elevated events or anything else.
That emotion, that humanization. People were loving it, that it
(32:57):
was all over social you know, it's just it's it's
kind of you know, you see.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Both sides of it.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
Yes, sorry, I was so enthralled in that I forgot
I was sharing the tea.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
I was just stuck on that.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
We talked about it last week here that Bryson is
still trying to hit those wedge shots. Yeah, over his house,
over his house, so I think it.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Must see too, Like, do you see the amount of
views he's getting millions and millions of views?
Speaker 7 (33:24):
It's yeah.
Speaker 8 (33:26):
And so his caption was like, oh my god, or
something along those lines, and I was like, oh, he
did it. And I got sucked in by his marketing
ploy and I watched and I'm gonna spoil it for
you guys.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
He didn't make the hole in one, but he had.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Ten shots and he was getting them closed. So if
you watch, you know, somewhere off the rocks in the front.
But it's entertaining, it's not I.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Mean, did you watch the Saint Andre Golf? We really
shared it. Their their take on it. They are they
are my favorite in the golf comedy social media world
right now. They just crush it. Every time Saint Andre Golf.
You'd recognize him if you. If you, you probably don't
recognize the name. But when you look at look at
(34:09):
our look at our Instagram story, it's still up there.
Go back and see it. But they do their version
of I don't know if you can see the guy,
but this that's the guy right He's going over his house, Yeah,
and his wife. It's awesome, But like think about you know,
I posted it to like how many windows would you
break and how long would you take? Like his dispersion
rate is like within three feet with all these balls.
(34:30):
I can't you guys have changed the pin position because
he's not getting any roll back. But I like, like,
in like like eight shots, he doesn't make a hole
in one over his house. He's like, come on, why
can't I get this?
Speaker 8 (34:42):
But like you said, that dispersion right, like all the
balls like I could be like a circle, yeah, all
within which is wild.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
And I said that to Harry.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
I was like, he's not throwing stones, but he's hitting
golf shots.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
And you know, thankfully.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Love Bryson right now. He liked our, he liked the
the reshare that I put out there was that really
it was yeah, I've been fooled before, but yeah it.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
Was only once.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
All right, Let's go into Harry's favorite player of all time, Rory.
He closes twenty twenty fourth season in you know, spectacular fashion,
if you will, by the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
This was his fourth win of the year, including two
on the BGA Tour, and this was his first on
the DP World Tour since January, so I kind of
forgot about that. Finished fifteen under claiming a two shot
(35:33):
victory over Rasmus. Yeah hooy guard and also secured his
sixth Race to Dubai title, tying sev and moving him
a little bit closer to call Montgomery's record of eight.
Speaker 7 (35:49):
Soya, and do you take any of that in here?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I saw some of it.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
You know, it's on in the morning, so I watched
a little bit of it for wasn't wasn't surprised that
he held on.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
I mean, you know, he kills it over there, and.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I mean if he doesn't have a second or third
home over in Dubai, he's doing something wrong wrong.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
He's made a lot of money over there.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
He and his caddie were quite happy.
Speaker 8 (36:15):
Yeah yeah, nice sentiments about each other.
Speaker 7 (36:20):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
The weird story that came out about that too, which
was just bizarro and it since been, you know, pulled
down and apologized.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
I don't know how this stuff gets started. I really don't.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
It's so easy these days just to put something out
there and people just run with it.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:34):
But I mean, but also you can make money off
of it. It's clickbait, you know. If I say, you know,
Harry Mays is gonna.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
I'll do it. I'll do it.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Yeah. We have Michael our producer. The other day, I'm
gonna clip it. I'm gonna put that out there. So yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:51):
While twenty twenty four for Rory both yea personally and
professionally runner up the US Open and the Irish Open.
So nice for him to finish it on a high note.
And another what three million in tournament prizes and two
million for a race to divide bonus. So if you
want to donate to uh golf, the golf for balls,
(37:15):
who are good good for balls, say correctly a good yeah,
my goodness with the Z then go ahead, Rory up,
hit him up? What else do we have so we
can get into the arms. Oh yes, let's talk about that.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Uh on for the seventh time.
Speaker 8 (37:33):
Insane and seven wins in a single season. So she
joins golf legends Kathy Whitworth and Nancy Lopez with that
seventh win. And then this season's final tournament is also
this week, the CMME, which is underway in Naples, Florida.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
And we have Nelly, we have Lydia Coe.
Speaker 8 (37:52):
Some of their top players, you know, competing for the
end of year honor, so I didn't get a chance
to look at where she's at right now, but.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
We shall see.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
She was the first American to win seven times in
a season since Beth Daniel did it way back in
nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (38:08):
Yeah, that's wild there.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Down to her and Charlie too, which was pretty cool,
and that Charlie had a bad final round, but Harry cried,
anytime you can get those two on TV together, I mean,
that's that'll do eyeballs and that'll grow the game.
Speaker 7 (38:23):
Oh for sure. Very entertaining.
Speaker 8 (38:24):
And then her brother was out there to watch her,
you know, grab that win, and I think.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
It's the first time he's seen her win live, which
I found bizarre.
Speaker 8 (38:33):
Yeah yeah, I mean that's a that's a family of athletes.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, what's it?
Speaker 7 (38:39):
What's in those genes?
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Beautiful? All right?
Speaker 5 (38:42):
Good?
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Did did you guys you get to see the my
Patrick's revenge video that the Great Tie Mike guy put
out there?
Speaker 2 (38:50):
That was fund Yeah, it's bizarre where they had like
the hose on the green and stuff.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that was awesome.
Speaker 7 (38:58):
Yeah. From that tournament, you guys, it's.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Like It's such a fun tournament.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Every year.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Legacy Club does a great job. A lot of courses
do their greenskeepers revenge, but this is one we always
we look forward to. We had a blast out there, so.
Speaker 7 (39:10):
Uh, it always so much fun.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
And then Harry, we're gonna be on location next week.
Really excited about this. Danielle, wish you were up here
with us. Are you coming back up this way next week? Thanksgiving?
No staying yea. So the great Marco from from Ticks
for Good is they're having an event, a Turkey shoot
at none other than Trout National Stop. We are going
(39:35):
to get our eyes on the place. We're gonna play
Silica Sands, which is the part three the Short Course
Wednesday next Wednesday. Uh so we're gonna We're gonna probably
do a little remote kind of recording down there, hopefully
get some some footage and some content if we're allowed
to film. But I'm excited, Harry, just to get my
eyes on the place. There's been so much hype around it,
(39:57):
and we're gonna be able to play the play the course,
play the short Course.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Yeah, no doubt about it. Yeah, it looks like.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
It looks like high forties and we're not. I think
if we're off at noon, I mean we should be
all right. If it's not windy, we'll be okay.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yeah, forty six, it says here, So that's I'll take it.
It's not too bad. The wind is enough.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
But check out Ticks for Good. I mean, they are
friends of ours and they do some really cool stuff
and it's it's such a simple and easy and great
concept to do good and get a chance to win
some incredible prizes that are legit, right, I know, there's
a lot of weird stuff out there. These guys are
you know, you pick your favorite charity that you want
to donate to and you're entered into to win trips
(40:38):
to the Masters, you know, incredible stuff that they put
up their concerts. So check those guys out and more
to come on that next week when we are alive
from Trout National to Reserve.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Yeah, looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
And of course, uh now it's Q school time and
we got some local guys making some hay down in Georgia.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Down in Savannah. There's five sites.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Around the country that are that are at the second stage.
There's like qualifying, then first stage, then second stage, then
final stage, which is in Panavidra coming up in December
twelfth through the fifteenth.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
But we got.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Braden Shaddock is in the mix. I think he's one
shot out of the qualifying right now. But Chris Crawford
who played at Drexel and was out, you know, as
one of the alternates for the US Open out in
Los Angeles two years ago. Mike Dinda of course works
(41:34):
with works with chrisy. He's currently second place right now,
there's to The leaders are at eighteen under.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
This is through three rounds.
Speaker 7 (41:43):
They got one more round to go, and this is
stage two.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Right yeah, this is stage two.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Like the top eighteen I believe will make it to
the final stage. Crawford is currently alone in second place
at sixteen under par and Shaddock is a is one
shot out.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Of the mix right now.
Speaker 7 (42:01):
What site is this?
Speaker 8 (42:02):
Hair?
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Well? This is uh, I'm on blue Golf dot com,
which is where they got all the scores.
Speaker 7 (42:08):
You know, I'm sorry, what site?
Speaker 5 (42:10):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (42:10):
And they're in Savannah, they're in that Vanka Yeah. And
then you know Patrick Sheen was in was down there too.
He's had he's kind of had a tough week right now.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
He's plus five, So I don't know if he's gonna
make it, but uh, we could have two guys make
it to final stage of Q School, and then we
got to congratulate our buddy Michael Mike Brown who was
actually advanced h to the final stage of PGA Tour champions.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
Q School, which is really difficult to get to get to.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
That takes place December third through the sixth out in
Scottsdale at the TPC Course. He finished t six in
his qualifier at three under part to make it, so
he's already in the final stage, so that would be
really cool.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Love it.
Speaker 8 (42:55):
Yeah, we have an I have to I'm trying to
figure out where he's at right now, but we're lining
up a bunch of guests, and then we have Patrick Newcomb.
He's going to come on the podcast and talk to us.
He's currently in the middle of Q School, so he
let's see, he said, I'm leaving for Q School this
week and then Thanksgiving in second stage, so he's in
Savannah right now. So do you have that funny Harry,
(43:16):
what's Patrick Newcomb.
Speaker 7 (43:17):
At right now?
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Let me try to find him.
Speaker 8 (43:19):
And then December eleventh would be final stage. Cordon Ferry
Tour or he flies to Asia for Asian Tour final stage.
So these guys, it just gives you a glimpse. Nobody
realizes the grind to get there.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
He's currently four under par so he's a couple shots out.
He's from Kentucky.
Speaker 7 (43:37):
Oh yeah, he's a blast. You guys love him. You
might have met him Atanita Invitational.
Speaker 8 (43:42):
But yeah, hopefully he gets it rolling because he's saying
he can get real silly with the putter and just
kind of blackout once he starts going.
Speaker 7 (43:50):
So let's wish some of that luck on him there
and get him up that leaderboard.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
I love it. So we are.
Speaker 4 (43:55):
We're recording a little bit late this week, so we're
not going to see the line because you're in the
middle of it. But we have the the RSM Classic,
the final event of twenty twenty four. I know right
Sea Island and you know the Penn Club on Second Harry.
They have an event coming up too. On twelve to one.
They're doing a watch party with Fox Sports the Game
where our buddy Sean Brace for the Eagles Ravens game.
(44:16):
They're gonna have some contest long drive closest to the pin,
so it be a lot of fun. We'll be doing
event out there soon once the heart of the golf
season kicks back into But great courses down in Sea
Island here.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
Yeah, Sea Island Resort is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
They have three golf courses. Two of them are used
for this tournament. The Plantation Course, which was a Walter
Travis who designed Scranton. He is the original designer. Davis
Love and his brother Mark Love came in and did
a sort of a redesign or a refurbishment, and then
they got the Seaside Course, which is where they play
(44:52):
three of the four rounds, which was a Harry Colt
original which Tom Fozzio came in and renovated their short
horses for PGA Tour standards. Just you know, right around
seven thousand yards. Seasidees a par seventy and the Plantation
is a par seventy two. The average green size moves
seventy two hundred square feet, so a lot of three
(45:13):
putts for us, probably forty seven bunkers, fourteen water hazards
and waters in play on thirteen of the holes for
the Seaside course, Bermuda grass fairways and rough and with
a rye grass overset and the average landing area forty
seven yards wide, so you can hit the fairway and
hit the green, but you better make a lot of putts.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
And I played.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
They actually have both the plantation and the seaside at
Penn Club, and I was playing some of the holes
on the.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Seaside last night.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
So the signature holes, that thirteenth hole you can see
behind me, and it's a really beautiful spot.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Cost me about that not well enough. I didn't drive
it well enough. There's marsh everywhere, there's bunkers everywhere.
Speaker 8 (45:58):
It's so cool that you can just over there and
play the same course as these guys are playing.
Speaker 7 (46:02):
You know what I mean, really ten, you're out there too.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
Well. Yeah, they've got a category on the computer for
tour tour courses, like the place where the tour goes,
so you can just filter it in there like that.
So yeah, PC two Conchi dot com had a couple
of guys sign up this week.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
From my club, so I love it. We're always taking memberships.
Speaker 7 (46:23):
Just checking the leaderboard.
Speaker 8 (46:24):
Now we got mad Yeah, yep, even through two.
Speaker 7 (46:29):
But he's eight under total.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
That would be cool.
Speaker 7 (46:32):
Andrew Novak up there again.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Yeah, that's the guy I took. I put a wager
in on him for a top ten at plus three
point thirty. He's a he's a Sea Island resident and
finished second in the Permuta.
Speaker 7 (46:44):
Event and Griffin Island two.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Ben Griffin's always up there.
Speaker 8 (46:48):
And he's slowly just collecting and stacking cash and FedEx
points there.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Right.
Speaker 4 (46:55):
This was the year last year when Obert went went
off and went twenty nine under.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
Yeah, imagine he's in the field this week, but it's
the first time he's playing in an event since having
the knee surgery.
Speaker 7 (47:09):
Yeah, it's his return, yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
Yeah, and he got off to a tough start.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
He made a triple bogie on one of the early
holes on Thursday was plus five.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
The last I saw. I don't know what he's at
right now.
Speaker 7 (47:19):
You got me think returning after being out of the
mix for so long, you have nerves just in general,
Like somebody once described the adrenaline of standing on you know,
that first tea box that a It feels like a
tiger is chasing you, but your feet are glued to
the ground.
Speaker 8 (47:36):
And I'm like, I can't imagine like just sitting there
and there's like people just staring at you and that's like, okay,
let me just make contact with this ball and keep
it in the fairway like mine, be in the drink.
Good for balls will be in there fishing.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
It out if he'd come with your own dive team.
Speaker 7 (47:52):
Right, all right, boys, we're probably going right with this one.
Speaker 4 (47:58):
All right, Well, we will be back next week. Harry
and I on location, Excited to get out there. Thanks
again to Max and Mike from Buy My Balls. Check
those guys out, see what they have to offer, and
we'll be back next week. Looking forward to see who
wins this last event of twenty twenty four. It's been
an incredible twenty twenty four golf season, so let's see
(48:18):
who gets it done.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
Yeah, but listen, swing it and dang it.
