Speaker 4 (00:54):
I don't know. They're all around us and I'm in
to Jersey and that's the epicenter of the Have you
seen one phenomenon? I have not yet, but.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
He probably walked like when you said cocktail show, I
was like, let's let's go. Oh, you know, we haven't
done a cocktail show in a minute. Let's special edition.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Here our head cocktail guy Harry Mays is not with us.
He is in the Scottsdale area in a feud with Shipsticks.
So more to come on that.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I can't wait for next week to hear him unleash.
That's gonna I said, hey, can we get five minutes
hair while he was hot? You know, I wanted to
get some tonight. But you know he's having cocktails out.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
It was going to be something. It was going to
be something with Harry right like it was. It just
Shipsticks was the one that just happened to fall right, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he said, a little chili smoking his cigar. I said,
it's cool in the desert at night, hair.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You know, you gotta have a piece of two on it.
It's gold down here. I know you guys make fun
of me for that, but my mom's down here from
Pennsylvania and even she said this morning, so I'm like, see,
I got some proof. It was like sixty seven now,
but it was fifty nine this morning. I know, not
too cold for my Philly friends, but for me, it's cold.
I'm a Marshmallo club. I'm soft.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I'm at the point where the golf clubs are in
from the trunk because it's too cold to stay in
the trunk. The golf clubs are in the house. That's
how bad it is.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
What do you what kind of set up you got
in the house. You got anything that you can you know,
a little chip in, a little button green or anything
like that.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I have a little putt. I have a little putting
green in the office, a little uh perfect putt that
kicks the ball back to you. But that's all. Yeah,
it gets a muse I have. I have a standalone
garage that is going to become It's like I have
an alley behind my house and there's a standalone garage
back there and it's going to become Moo Sali golf club.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I love them.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I'm going to put a simulator in there.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Stop.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, so those plans are in the work.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, gotta get it, get it done. Gotta get it done.
Talking to some folks. So if you're listening to this
and you're in the semi later business, we can collaborate.
Reach out. Hit us up.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Lorenzo from Sunshine make it happen. Yeah, we actually auctioned
off or we're going to auction office him at NEPA.
So maybe you just hold off till next year and
then come to our or event and bid on that.
Hopefully you're a little.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Better, we can make that happen. You know, absolutely so
shocker Danielle Scotti Scheffler won. It's like whenever we're recording,
Scotty Schffler is winning. He in an awesome event against
(03:38):
the game's best. He gets his ninth win, goes twenty
five hunder two sixty three to tie Bubba's record in
twenty fifteen at this course. He wins by six against
you know, the best players in the world, and he
busts out a new putting grip in the middle of
all of it.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And what is he like? Thirteen for thirteen plots like
that last like he just knew everything was just dropping.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's it's crazy he has He's a full year of
Player of the Year, is third straight and he just
busts out a completely new putting grip.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
These guys are showed you how crazy golf is.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, he wins. He wins PGA Tour Player
of the Year for the third consecutive season, becoming the
first to do it since tire Wood from that stretch
of twenty or two thousand and five, pardon me, to
two thousand and seven, so we recap his year like
you were just kind of leading into their moves. He
had thirteen top five finishes, seventeen top tens in twenty
(04:43):
three starts, and said he set a record for a
single season earnings at over twenty one million, So not
too bad of a year for him.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I imagine, Zander, he went two majors and you're not
the player.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Not Player of the year. How large game is, right?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I think you got like ninety percent of the vote
or whatever it was, which of course he did. Right.
It's like, but the new putting grip thing just blew
my mind. It's just it's that just sums up the
game of golf to me. The number one player in
the world still not nine wins, well eight wins going
into it. It's like Nap still got a tinker with
something and change it. It just is that just epitomizes
(05:25):
what we all go through. But on a crazier level
with him.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, just get you know, and like you said, humanize
it a little bit. It's like, all right, if number
one is making a change, all of a sudden, this
new putting grip comes out it's like, all right, I'm
allowed to switch my clubs again, or get my club regripped,
or switch my grip if you will.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, I think I'm having a little I think I'm
having a little WiFi problem. Mike's right. I think it's
the drones. I think they're they're jamming us. They're chaing
like it's a.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Couple of seconds behind. So, you know, it's like when
I talk to my grandmother. She has that phone that
you know, it gives you the transcription of what I'm saying.
So I have to say a sentence and then I
have to wait a minute and a half for her
to read it, and then she responds, and then and
then I forget what I'm talking about. All right.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
So that's what you're dealing with right now. That's all right.
You're a professional. You can get through it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I got it. I got it. Yeah, Oh my goodness.
All right.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yeah. So Scottie does his thing. Tiger's in the news.
Anytime Tiger's in the news, it's news. You know. He
says he wasn't really going to play, but he's going
to play with Charlie. He's got to play with Charlie.
In that event, everyone wants to see.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That Father and Sun duel will compete for Yeah, you're
in a row? What is that next next week?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Right, twenty first, twenty second.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
At the Ritz Carlton Club in Orlando. So yeah, definitely
a fan favorite pairing. And obviously it's I mean, if
he didn't play in this, I think we'd have an issue,
right because he has the cart. He can you know,
drive around in it. It's not like he's you know,
has to walk. So I think if we didn't see
Tiger playing in this, we'd be a little concerned for
(07:02):
the future of this.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah. Yeah, So it's cool because it gives us a
little bit between that event. You have the Crypto dot
Com Showdown, which we'll talk about on the seventeenth, the
match on TNT, so give us a little bit of
a fix, a little golf fix around a slow time
after the season officially ends, not that there's much offseason
anymore in golf, but some fun events to watch and.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Father and Son. I also love watching Nick and Greg Price.
Greg Price with the long hair just doesn't look like
a traditional golfer. Yes, you know, it's always just fun
to see these guys come out because you know, you
have Charlie Woods who's just enthralled in the game and
just can't wait eat you know, eat sleeves, breeze golf.
And then you have someone like Greg who doests the
clubs off, you know, two weeks before the father and
(07:48):
son it's like, all right, let's get out here and
see what we can do. Also, yeah, it would be
pretty cool. I enjoy watching that.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Yeah, yeah, that's a lot of fun. We talked to
you know, we're talking about the match. So I love
this because it's typically these have been like twelve holes.
This is a full eighteen holes, right, So you have
Rory teamed up with Scottie against Bryson and Brooks and
they're playing six six six so best ball, alternate shot
and singles, and I think, like, I think it's I
(08:17):
think it's going to be competition that they I think
they each want to win this thing really bad.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
They have to, right, they have to. I mean I
saw the one at the park last year. I mean,
I honestly it's almost like the h like a playoff
game or something. You almost rather be watching from home
so you can actually see what's going on. There were
so many people and I'm like, I couldn't see much,
but you know, it had some star power. But I
(08:43):
think just this these group and these pairings, it's going
to be, like you said, they all want to win.
It's almost like live versus PGA Tour. It's I'm gonna watch.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Oh yeah yeah, And and Brooks floats a little something
out there. There's talks about the merger finally happened with
this look like the PIFF is going to invest into
the PGA Tour, and Brooks says he sees a Ryder
Cup style event, which we've all been saying, which would
be incredible. I mean, that would be awesome. I don't
know how they would do it probably I think it
should be just top twelve first top twelve rankings on tour.
(09:15):
But if they get to that point, that is what
would be great for the game of golf because I
don't think, I don't think. I don't think lives going away.
No matter what happens, like, it's going to exist. And
you know, I think the only way it's going to
work is if guys are going back and forth and
this type of event would be incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It what it's it's want to watch must watch TV,
right I mean, I'd watch it, but I need to
talk about uh, when we're talking about Bryson and Brooks,
I need to see that. You know a lot of
people I feel like have come along with Bryson and
brooks brooks Cy if we remember that whole thing, the
(09:52):
brooks cy and he didn't like being called that, but yeah,
Brooksley came out and said, we all get older, we
all mature a little bit, and then you realize, hey,
Bryson's a good dude. I think he's severely misunderstood, and
I think the world is starting to see who Bryson d.
Chambeau is, which is cool. I'm the first person to
admit it. I was wrong with what my original thoughts were.
So that's Brokes on him. And then Bryson came back
(10:13):
and said, we had our spats, but when we both
went to live, we realized we had quite a few
things in common, like step brothers in a sense, we've
developed a pretty solid relationship and have good respect for
each other. Now you think they do karate in the garage,
I think so.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
And Bryson like, what a turnaround, And there's been some
chronicles about it, how he hired a pr firm, and
you know, he was not well liked. He was being
followed on a course, being called Brooksy he was like
And now all of a sudden he is the most
beloved figure in the game of golf. Crazy crazy turnaround
for him. Good for him. And he's monetizing it, that's
for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh he's brilliant, literally brilliant. And we're not talking about
you know, his his GPA or school, just in terms
of the social media and monetizing that. The shots over
the house. Did you see that little kid by the way, Yes,
isn't that great? I love the internes coraction so good.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
What are you hearing on the on the the PGA
Tour Live, right, It's like you hear stuff and then
it disappears, and it's like there's still so much mystery
of what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
There really is, And actually, like I haven't heard much
in terms of that just being in gardens and so
close here. Most of the stuff is on tgl as
they're underway with a ton of testing right now, trying
to make sure that that's all set up. Actually had
the opportunity to go and check out the stadium.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, I want to hear about that.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, we're not allow to share any photos or videos
or anything. Facts even went over the one day, be
played around with Rory the other day. But it's insane.
The stadium is going to be incredible. I think what
is there, like twelve hundred or twenty five hundred seats
something like that. I think the average ticket price is
going to be like one hundred and sixty bucks. But
it's insane, Like you see, oh yeah, they have they
(11:54):
grow grass outside and bring in slabs of grass for
you to like, you know, hit your t shots off of.
And then there's a like a green that rotates so
wherever like you hit your shot on, it like rotates around.
So lots of really cool stuff and they're going. Lucas
Glover I saw on social was there today on their
handle testing it out. So yeah, if you guys don't
(12:16):
follow their handle yet, I check it out and just
kind of see what they're doing because they're trending and
getting closer and closer. So you know, we know with
the indoor sims and everything else, it's just been trending
and it's it's getting there. It's getting to that point.
So we're going to have you know, at first, I
was a little like h with this model. I'm like,
these guys are flying in to play what four hours
(12:37):
of golf one day, only when they're going to leave.
You're telling me this concept is going to like stick
and be great. But it's like, I guess there's a
roster of four, but only three play a day and
then whatever. So but you know that's you're flying into
work for two hours. But you know, I talked to
some golfers of like, yeah, that's ideal.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I wanted to like with the size of that screen,
like it's going to come like TVs where it's like
you got to keep getting the bigger and bigger sim now,
and like these sim places are going to be growing
the size of their simulators because it's going to.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Be like it's going to be like what you might
call it in Vegas, like the freaking yeah, stratosphere whatever.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
It's called there, the sphere.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, the sphere. You're gonna be like in there like
just all over the place.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Yeah, interesting to see. I'm I'm dying to see like
how it actually works. And I'm sure they'll have their
you know, it's not going to run as smooth as
as possible in the beginning, right, people are still have
to figure out what it is. But I mean it's
a really cool concept.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well, I think the hurricane hitting them was like the
biggest plessing I can have because well, but then they
went from like a dome to an actual like huge
like building, Like the place is, it's massive, it's large.
So I feel like it almost was a blessing in
disguise for them to like do it correctly.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
And so that's just going to be just for that.
That building is just gonna that's all they're using it for.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I can't behind a local college here and you go
back there and it's literally just that. And outside there's
like literally a shed where like I said, they're growing
grass and doing whatever they have. They have a like
a head drowns keep for that, who like maintains the
course if you.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
But I wonder if they're gonna let other people use it,
like when it's off season, right, there's gonna be a
lot of time where that thing's just gonna be sitting
there if it's just for them, curious to see what
else they do with it, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
But I mean I don't know, I don't know. Yeah,
I mean I don't know, because it's literally like the
course set up and then there's like sweets and then
it's just bleachers all around. So I don't know, it's
not like you could host another event there unless you
like ripped up the green or something. I don't know. Interesting,
I had thought.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
About it in that type of thing, right, just like
in PGL style events. I'm sure they'll do some celebrity
stuff for sure, right.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, interesting, I hadn't thought about that. It's a good point.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yeah, I'm curious to see. The other thing that went
on down in your area was the big event that
you guys are fully to with golfer cops that looked
I mean, that looks like an incredible event.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It really is, and just a story of it too.
It just gives inspiration for like Brandon and I like
knowing where our tournament started, even you know, for you
and the mel As Miracles. It's it's something cool to
kind of watch because this started at to Questa Country
Club when we moved down here, I think like seven
years ago or something, and Brandon was like, Hey, I'm
playing in this, you know event and it raises money
(15:24):
for the families of you know, phign officers or anybody,
you know, first responders thinks of that nature. I'm like, okay,
and that I wasn't involved the first year, and then
I went and played golf with you know, the founder
of the tournament, and he pulled me in. I got
on the committee there and started working with them. This
is I think it was my sixth year or something
(15:45):
like that, maybe seventh year with them. So it is
a pro am and it was at Trump Jupiter this
year and attracted some decent names. I always do the
onen course interviews, so I posted up on eighteen, which
you know, if you know Trump Jupiter, it's like there's
some water to the right, the greens right here, and
then the club asse to the left, naturally being Trump.
(16:06):
Trump's in one of his courses. They had bulletproof glass.
But what wasn't bulletproof it was the lamp shades. And
we were in you know, I told our camera guy,
I said, you know, for the aesthetics set up here,
you know, I want to side you with the green
because it had the American flags all around. I mean,
we were just in the danger zone all day long.
I think some people were trying to avoid us just
went in the water because they were nervous for us,
(16:28):
but took out a lamp post whatever. But anyway, a
lot of great play in the room for.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
A swing and ding it set up down there. Next year,
what do you think.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
A billion percent? I will retire my I pulled Gabby,
my good friend Gabby and who's played you know event
with me, and she's she helps me with interviews, so
I can have her take over that and we'll do
the swing and ding it pod next year. That'd be amazing.
They had a local country guy here do like the
after party, but they had Laura Trump as a keynote
(16:58):
speaker at the gallop and they before they raised like
over one I think it was like one point three
million dollars at the end of the day. So as
I was saying, like inspiring for us, for you like
for events. I think their first year they made fifty thousand,
next year one hundred thousand, trending trending in year seven
over a million dollars hosting a such a beautiful you
know course like Trump Jupiter, and then you know some
(17:19):
of the players highlighting obviously Brandon played, Ben Griffin, Eric Cole,
Bob Ford, Ben Taylor, and then you have a lot
of the long drive guys. Wes Patterson front of the
show is always involved as well as his wife. So
just a really great event. I didn't get a chance.
I usually don't to drive around or ride around the
course too much because I'm stuck on eighteen they're interviewing.
(17:42):
But Brandon said they actually had something on every single hole.
They actually had a company regripping clubs on the one hole, like, hey,
you want your club's regrip like boom, boom boom, And
I'm like, does that even set in time? Like aren't
you not supposed to touch on brands like seers a
super fast setting or whatever. It's like fifteen minutes. He said,
like two or three guys in his group were like, yeah,
(18:03):
regroup my clubs. I'm like, what, yeah, yeah, but a
bunch of different things. There was an app I came across,
so I, you know, connecting with that guy. But yeah,
just see how many things are constantly in the loop
in the game of golf. Got me a little excited
for the PGA show upcoming. But yeah, great event down there.
Definitely need to get the whole team down there next year,
(18:24):
and you know, check out some of the guys have
them on there highlight that event, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
That'd be awesome, that'd be awesome, and then some of
the other young guys we're talking about Final stage. Oh yeah,
so yeah, I mean this is this is when things happen,
when moves get made for these these fellas.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, I feel I feel like a lot of times
Q School and Final Stage like don't get talked about.
You know, a lot of the not casual golf fans,
but I mean, I guess general golf fans, if you will,
like they just think like, hey, it's golf, and you know,
we want to see the Rickey Fowlers, Jordan Space, you know,
Scottish shufflers. But they don't, you know, pay attention too
(19:02):
much to the younger guys, like maybe you know we
do or I do, but you know, I know the
grind of final stage from the from the way beginning
of trying to get your you know, stage one, trying
to get your desired you know, course you you get
the course in the order for first stage anyway of
whoever signs up first. So like if you want to
(19:22):
play in Florida, if you live in Florida, I want
to play in Florida at the course thirty minutes a
way that you played a few times, you have to
be on there, like first one. If not, you're you're
going to end up in Idaho, you know, or Louisiana
or something. So I remember the one year was like,
you know, Brandon, his friend Patrick Ross and and Cole
Wilcox and we had we had like four or five
(19:43):
computers and we're all like, cause, you know, the systems
bogged down. It's like someone trying to get a Scotti
Cameron release. The whole system's done and people are trying
to log on and get you know, their their ideal location,
and half the times you don't end up getting it. Actually,
Brad Faxon couldn't even get his location. I think they
wanted him to fly out to whole Y or something. Yeah,
which is great, which is wild, but that was for
(20:04):
the Senior US Open. But anyway, just a grind from
first age, second stage, final stage all the way through.
So this is a really big deal and I think
at school and like to follow along. So final stages
this week at TPC Sawgrass started today. We're filming or
recording our show a little bit later than normal, but
currently a field of one hundred and seventy one players
(20:27):
compromise through different stages and different locations, and you know,
various finishes from the PGA Tour, but one hundred and
seventy one players. As I said, ninety one players in
advanced from second stage, and the remainder was just kind
of all over the place. But Corey sean new name.
Don't know much about him. He came out pretty hot
today firing a nine under sixty one. I don't know
(20:50):
if I'd ever shoot that in my life. Maybe yeah, pressure,
And I think there was like a story that he
played overseas like a week ago or something in like
seed and his dad was like, just keep going or
something like that. So there's a little story behind it.
I probably should have read it, but I wasn't enticed
enough to do it. I was like, at nine or
sixty one is the headline, and of course I didn't
(21:11):
read the rest. But so the stags are high with this,
so you get PG to our membership for twenty twenty five,
to the top five finishers and ties. So you know,
hopefully Corey keeps his head on his shoulders and you know,
can solidify one of those top five spots. The players
are rotating between Die Valley and Sawgrass TPC Sawgrass Country
(21:32):
Club for the first two rounds. Top half of the
field playing their final two rounds split between the two courses.
So a bunch of names though to watch Tyson, Alexander,
Eric Barnes, Hayden Buckley, Pearson, Coodie, Lanto Griffin, Matt Neee Smith,
Philly Guys, Sean O'Hare, Benny Taylor, Toasty, Carl Ywon, Kyle
(21:52):
west Morelin Bryce and Immigrant Hirshman. We can go on
and on, hank Lebiota, but it should be pretty cool.
So if you guys as interested as I am, you
can watch Saturday on Golf Channel and Sunday as well
in Golf Channel.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
So sweet.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Yeah, how about uh this story with little ties to Philly.
So they're saying that Greg Norman is going to step aside.
It's going to step aside as CEO, and they're saying
that the new CEO that's going to be named is
none other than Scott O'Neill, former CEO of Harris Splitzer
Slash seventy six ers. I've met Scott a few times.
(22:29):
That is an interesting move. If that happens.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's like, how do you how do you get in?
Like how do you even get your name? Like you're
hot thrown into that? I mean, I know, Yeah, I
was like, wait a second, huh I read that one
at a time or two, But wow, interesting.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Yeah, still so much, still so much to uh to
get ironed out, right with on on both sides. Yeah, yeah,
even with live in and of itself. Pretty pretty nuts.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
And you know, I go back and forth with the two.
I'm like, Okay, I'm nothing's ever gonna happen. I don't
want to hear about it. And then I hear a
little blip of news like that, I'm like, tell me.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
More, because you like you just don't know what's going
to happen, like you just if you if you had
to say, like what will professional golf look like in
five years? It's it's a mystery, yeah, right, like question mark.
I don't think it's going to be as is right now.
I just don't know what it's going to be.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, I have no doubt we shall see.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah, and how about our boy kids, Lead golf analyst NBC.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's huge, you know, I like it. I think it's
I mean, i enjoy listening to him, watching him like
him and Smiley or uh and Braad of course have
you know, quickly become some of my favorites to listen to.
I think they're doing a right job. They're you know,
a great job and identifying like just a different approach,
a younger approach, just the style of it, you know.
(23:53):
I think Kids and Smiley are great, so good for the.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Game, definitely. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing it. I'm wondering, like,
is this it for kids playing? Though? Overall?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You know, I mean it's kind of like he hung
up the hat in a way, you know, because before
it's like, you're not gonna take a full time position
if you're still flirting with golf, right, like maybe he
plays in some local like pro and Pro members or something.
But I would say that my vote is he's probably
hanging up because I know last year he was like
flirting back and forth with it, saying like, oh, I'm
(24:24):
playing and if I missed the cut that I'm going
to go do some coverage or whatever. But when you're
committing to a full time position, I think that that's cosinuating.
That makes it hanging the hat up at least for
this year, you know.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Yeah, yeah, we have to mention our friends over at
the Penn Club on second awesome event they had there
a couple of weeks ago show em Brace and the
Fox Sports the Gambler Crew. Make sure you check them out.
New memberships available, new options as it gets cold, great
place to work on the game. Make sure you tell
them swing it and ning it sent you. We'll have
more with the course of course when we get back
(24:57):
into the season, and I know Harry's going to get
out there and test some of the courses that they
have on the simulators, so I can.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Give you, I can give you my course of course,
not with Harry Mays.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
So the Grand Wharton do it.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, we can get into the Grand Grand Thornton say
that three times fasts my goodness. But the guys in
the goals, but I need to point out that there's
a there's nothing like the one that Ted Matthews and
I play in. The Guys and gal at e Mannon,
which is no name spelled backwards in Falls, Pennsylvania. So
a lot of you know, a lot of similarities, except
(25:29):
they're playing for a four million dollar person. We played
for two hundred dollars pro Shop credit, so same thing. Yeah,
I was so nervous. It was the first tournament I
ever played, and I think I hammered eight beers and
on the first and I don't even drink beer on
the first let me see one, two, three, there's like
four holes on on the one side of the property
before we cross over the road and play the rest,
(25:50):
and Teddy goes like, give me a beer, and I'm like,
they're all gone. He's like what. I was like, I'm so.
I was like, I'm just so invent. I was like,
it's my swing juice. I was like, and we ended up.
I think we sat on like get sixty nine and
got second place, and I was so pissed that we
didn't win. I'm like, you keep the pro Shop credit.
I don't even want to. We're first loser. Like it's
a stupid but anyway, all right, that not about us.
(26:11):
Back to the Grand Thorne Tivroun Golf Club, located in
beautiful Naples right over here, except on the other coast.
Greg Norman designed course known for its challenging layouts and
picture esque setting. Yeah, Harry needs to get back. This
is this is not like I said, it's my course,
of course with not Harry May's, but the course features
bermuda grass, fairway, strategic bunkering, and water hazards that demand
(26:34):
precision and strategy from players that will not be getting
into the different holes or bunkering or anything else. That's it.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
That's the best I have defending Champs, Lydia Code, Jason Day.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, Jada and Lydia cole back again. I know, I
saw I think it was Ricky and Lexi And then
am I making stuff up in my head? Or did
I see that Netley was a personally with Tony fen
now and now she's with Burger? Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Let me pull up the latest. I thought she was too.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I swear, like I said, unless I'm like delusional. I
swear I saw an update like a picture of her
with Burger.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
And I'm like it is, Yeah, what happened?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (27:10):
I think I think he's had I think he has
an injury situation. Everyone everyone thought he was pulling out
of events because he was joining Live. But I think
he has an injury injury.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Situation or he owes somebody money like Harry was.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Saying, yeah, yeah, but no Berger. How about Daniel Berger
getting a bumper right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
I was like, wait a second, you go from don'ate
a burger? But okay, yeah, so I saw that, but
I did, like I said, I was like, I haven't
been sleeping. I'm like, did I make that up in
my head or that half? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I don't. I didn't see why it happened, but you're right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Okay, yeah, and then Rose Rosang and see.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Oh, Tony Fale withdraws uh with drawn knee injury, setting
a knee injury for missing the event, which he had
he had said, he posted, I'm disappointed to have to
withdraw as I continued to recover from my knee injury.
Playing with Nelly in twenty twenty three was one of
the highlights of my career. I look forward to cheering
her on this week.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, because she played with Denny two years ago, and
then played with Tony last year, and now she's she's
got Daniel Berger.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
So yeah, let's say it.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Let's see if those two can take out Lydia Cohen Jada.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah, oh yeah, well, it'll be good to recap that
when when Harry's back next week.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Can we tease harry struggles.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
And recap Harry's trip I can't wait to hear all
the good and the bad.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Oh yeah, good, bad, ugly, everything in between.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Can't be that bad when you're in Scottsdale.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Can't be goat bad when you're on a golf trip,
you know, and you're getting out of you know, drone
infested Billy Jersey.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
It's not good. It's not good at all. Well, keep
everyone who's not in New Jersey up to date with
what's going on out here.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
My god, kind of scary. How many are out there
right now?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I don't know. They're all around us and I'm in
to Jersey and that's the epicenter of the Have you
seen one phenomenon? I have not yet, but.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
He probably walked like when you said cocktail show, I
was like, let's let's go. Oh, you know, we haven't
done a cocktail show in a minute. Let's special edition.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Here our head cocktail guy Harry Mays is not with us.
He is in the Scottsdale area in a feud with Shipsticks.
So more to come on that.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I can't wait for next week to hear him unleash.
That's gonna I said, hey, can we get five minutes
hair while he was hot? You know, I wanted to
get some tonight. But you know he's having cocktails out.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
It was going to be something. It was going to
be something with Harry right like it was. It just
Shipsticks was the one that just happened to fall right, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he said, a little chili smoking his cigar. I said,
it's cool in the desert at night, hair.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You know, you gotta have a piece of two on it.
It's gold down here. I know you guys make fun
of me for that, but my mom's down here from
Pennsylvania and even she said this morning, so I'm like, see,
I got some proof. It was like sixty seven now,
but it was fifty nine this morning. I know, not
too cold for my Philly friends, but for me, it's cold.
I'm a Marshmallo club. I'm soft.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I'm at the point where the golf clubs are in
from the trunk because it's too cold to stay in
the trunk. The golf clubs are in the house. That's
how bad it is.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
What do you what kind of set up you got
in the house. You got anything that you can you know,
a little chip in, a little button green or anything
like that.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I have a little putt. I have a little putting
green in the office, a little uh perfect putt that
kicks the ball back to you. But that's all. Yeah,
it gets a muse I have. I have a standalone
garage that is going to become It's like I have
an alley behind my house and there's a standalone garage
back there and it's going to become Moo Sali golf club.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I love them.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I'm going to put a simulator in there.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Stop.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, so those plans are in the work.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, gotta get it, get it done. Gotta get it done.
Talking to some folks. So if you're listening to this
and you're in the semi later business, we can collaborate.
Reach out. Hit us up.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Lorenzo from Sunshine make it happen. Yeah, we actually auctioned
off or we're going to auction office him at NEPA.
So maybe you just hold off till next year and
then come to our or event and bid on that.
Hopefully you're a little.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Better, we can make that happen. You know, absolutely so
shocker Danielle Scotti Scheffler won. It's like whenever we're recording,
Scotty Schffler is winning. He in an awesome event against
(03:38):
the game's best. He gets his ninth win, goes twenty
five hunder two sixty three to tie Bubba's record in
twenty fifteen at this course. He wins by six against
you know, the best players in the world, and he
busts out a new putting grip in the middle of
all of it.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And what is he like? Thirteen for thirteen plots like
that last like he just knew everything was just dropping.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's it's crazy he has He's a full year of
Player of the Year, is third straight and he just
busts out a completely new putting grip.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
These guys are showed you how crazy golf is.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, he wins. He wins PGA Tour Player
of the Year for the third consecutive season, becoming the
first to do it since tire Wood from that stretch
of twenty or two thousand and five, pardon me, to
two thousand and seven, so we recap his year like
you were just kind of leading into their moves. He
had thirteen top five finishes, seventeen top tens in twenty
(04:43):
three starts, and said he set a record for a
single season earnings at over twenty one million, So not
too bad of a year for him.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I imagine, Zander, he went two majors and you're not
the player.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Not Player of the year. How large game is, right?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I think you got like ninety percent of the vote
or whatever it was, which of course he did. Right.
It's like, but the new putting grip thing just blew
my mind. It's just it's that just sums up the
game of golf to me. The number one player in
the world still not nine wins, well eight wins going
into it. It's like Nap still got a tinker with
something and change it. It just is that just epitomizes
(05:25):
what we all go through. But on a crazier level
with him.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, just get you know, and like you said, humanize
it a little bit. It's like, all right, if number
one is making a change, all of a sudden, this
new putting grip comes out it's like, all right, I'm
allowed to switch my clubs again, or get my club regripped,
or switch my grip if you will.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, I think I'm having a little I think I'm
having a little WiFi problem. Mike's right. I think it's
the drones. I think they're they're jamming us. They're chaing
like it's a.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Couple of seconds behind. So, you know, it's like when
I talk to my grandmother. She has that phone that
you know, it gives you the transcription of what I'm saying.
So I have to say a sentence and then I
have to wait a minute and a half for her
to read it, and then she responds, and then and
then I forget what I'm talking about. All right.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
So that's what you're dealing with right now. That's all right.
You're a professional. You can get through it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I got it. I got it. Yeah, Oh my goodness.
All right.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yeah. So Scottie does his thing. Tiger's in the news.
Anytime Tiger's in the news, it's news. You know. He
says he wasn't really going to play, but he's going
to play with Charlie. He's got to play with Charlie.
In that event, everyone wants to see.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That Father and Sun duel will compete for Yeah, you're
in a row? What is that next next week?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Right, twenty first, twenty second.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
At the Ritz Carlton Club in Orlando. So yeah, definitely
a fan favorite pairing. And obviously it's I mean, if
he didn't play in this, I think we'd have an issue,
right because he has the cart. He can you know,
drive around in it. It's not like he's you know,
has to walk. So I think if we didn't see
Tiger playing in this, we'd be a little concerned for
(07:02):
the future of this.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah. Yeah, So it's cool because it gives us a
little bit between that event. You have the Crypto dot
Com Showdown, which we'll talk about on the seventeenth, the
match on TNT, so give us a little bit of
a fix, a little golf fix around a slow time
after the season officially ends, not that there's much offseason
anymore in golf, but some fun events to watch and.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Father and Son. I also love watching Nick and Greg Price.
Greg Price with the long hair just doesn't look like
a traditional golfer. Yes, you know, it's always just fun
to see these guys come out because you know, you
have Charlie Woods who's just enthralled in the game and
just can't wait eat you know, eat sleeves, breeze golf.
And then you have someone like Greg who doests the
clubs off, you know, two weeks before the father and
(07:48):
son it's like, all right, let's get out here and
see what we can do. Also, yeah, it would be
pretty cool. I enjoy watching that.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Yeah, yeah, that's a lot of fun. We talked to
you know, we're talking about the match. So I love
this because it's typically these have been like twelve holes.
This is a full eighteen holes, right, So you have
Rory teamed up with Scottie against Bryson and Brooks and
they're playing six six six so best ball, alternate shot
and singles, and I think, like, I think it's I
(08:17):
think it's going to be competition that they I think
they each want to win this thing really bad.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
They have to, right, they have to. I mean I
saw the one at the park last year. I mean,
I honestly it's almost like the h like a playoff
game or something. You almost rather be watching from home
so you can actually see what's going on. There were
so many people and I'm like, I couldn't see much,
but you know, it had some star power. But I
(08:43):
think just this these group and these pairings, it's going
to be, like you said, they all want to win.
It's almost like live versus PGA Tour. It's I'm gonna watch.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Oh yeah yeah, And and Brooks floats a little something
out there. There's talks about the merger finally happened with
this look like the PIFF is going to invest into
the PGA Tour, and Brooks says he sees a Ryder
Cup style event, which we've all been saying, which would
be incredible. I mean, that would be awesome. I don't
know how they would do it probably I think it
should be just top twelve first top twelve rankings on tour.
(09:15):
But if they get to that point, that is what
would be great for the game of golf because I
don't think, I don't think. I don't think lives going away.
No matter what happens, like, it's going to exist. And
you know, I think the only way it's going to
work is if guys are going back and forth and
this type of event would be incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It what it's it's want to watch must watch TV,
right I mean, I'd watch it, but I need to
talk about uh, when we're talking about Bryson and Brooks,
I need to see that. You know a lot of
people I feel like have come along with Bryson and
brooks brooks Cy if we remember that whole thing, the
(09:52):
brooks cy and he didn't like being called that, but yeah,
Brooksley came out and said, we all get older, we
all mature a little bit, and then you realize, hey,
Bryson's a good dude. I think he's severely misunderstood, and
I think the world is starting to see who Bryson d.
Chambeau is, which is cool. I'm the first person to
admit it. I was wrong with what my original thoughts were.
So that's Brokes on him. And then Bryson came back
(10:13):
and said, we had our spats, but when we both
went to live, we realized we had quite a few
things in common, like step brothers in a sense, we've
developed a pretty solid relationship and have good respect for
each other. Now you think they do karate in the garage,
I think so.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
And Bryson like, what a turnaround, And there's been some
chronicles about it, how he hired a pr firm, and
you know, he was not well liked. He was being
followed on a course, being called Brooksy he was like
And now all of a sudden he is the most
beloved figure in the game of golf. Crazy crazy turnaround
for him. Good for him. And he's monetizing it, that's
for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh he's brilliant, literally brilliant. And we're not talking about
you know, his his GPA or school, just in terms
of the social media and monetizing that. The shots over
the house. Did you see that little kid by the way, Yes,
isn't that great? I love the internes coraction so good.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
What are you hearing on the on the the PGA
Tour Live, right, It's like you hear stuff and then
it disappears, and it's like there's still so much mystery
of what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
There really is, And actually, like I haven't heard much
in terms of that just being in gardens and so
close here. Most of the stuff is on tgl as
they're underway with a ton of testing right now, trying
to make sure that that's all set up. Actually had
the opportunity to go and check out the stadium.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, I want to hear about that.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, we're not allow to share any photos or videos
or anything. Facts even went over the one day, be
played around with Rory the other day. But it's insane.
The stadium is going to be incredible. I think what
is there, like twelve hundred or twenty five hundred seats
something like that. I think the average ticket price is
going to be like one hundred and sixty bucks. But
it's insane, Like you see, oh yeah, they have they
(11:54):
grow grass outside and bring in slabs of grass for
you to like, you know, hit your t shots off of.
And then there's a like a green that rotates so
wherever like you hit your shot on, it like rotates around.
So lots of really cool stuff and they're going. Lucas
Glover I saw on social was there today on their
handle testing it out. So yeah, if you guys don't
(12:16):
follow their handle yet, I check it out and just
kind of see what they're doing because they're trending and
getting closer and closer. So you know, we know with
the indoor sims and everything else, it's just been trending
and it's it's getting there. It's getting to that point.
So we're going to have you know, at first, I
was a little like h with this model. I'm like,
these guys are flying in to play what four hours
(12:37):
of golf one day, only when they're going to leave.
You're telling me this concept is going to like stick
and be great. But it's like, I guess there's a
roster of four, but only three play a day and
then whatever. So but you know that's you're flying into
work for two hours. But you know, I talked to
some golfers of like, yeah, that's ideal.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I wanted to like with the size of that screen,
like it's going to come like TVs where it's like
you got to keep getting the bigger and bigger sim now,
and like these sim places are going to be growing
the size of their simulators because it's going to.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Be like it's going to be like what you might
call it in Vegas, like the freaking yeah, stratosphere whatever.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
It's called there, the sphere.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, the sphere. You're gonna be like in there like
just all over the place.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Yeah, interesting to see. I'm I'm dying to see like
how it actually works. And I'm sure they'll have their
you know, it's not going to run as smooth as
as possible in the beginning, right, people are still have
to figure out what it is. But I mean it's
a really cool concept.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well, I think the hurricane hitting them was like the
biggest plessing I can have because well, but then they
went from like a dome to an actual like huge
like building, Like the place is, it's massive, it's large.
So I feel like it almost was a blessing in
disguise for them to like do it correctly.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
And so that's just going to be just for that.
That building is just gonna that's all they're using it for.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I can't behind a local college here and you go
back there and it's literally just that. And outside there's
like literally a shed where like I said, they're growing
grass and doing whatever they have. They have a like
a head drowns keep for that, who like maintains the
course if you.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
But I wonder if they're gonna let other people use it,
like when it's off season, right, there's gonna be a
lot of time where that thing's just gonna be sitting
there if it's just for them, curious to see what
else they do with it, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
But I mean I don't know, I don't know. Yeah,
I mean I don't know, because it's literally like the
course set up and then there's like sweets and then
it's just bleachers all around. So I don't know, it's
not like you could host another event there unless you
like ripped up the green or something. I don't know. Interesting,
I had thought.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
About it in that type of thing, right, just like
in PGL style events. I'm sure they'll do some celebrity
stuff for sure, right.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, interesting, I hadn't thought about that. It's a good point.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yeah, I'm curious to see. The other thing that went
on down in your area was the big event that
you guys are fully to with golfer cops that looked
I mean, that looks like an incredible event.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It really is, and just a story of it too.
It just gives inspiration for like Brandon and I like
knowing where our tournament started, even you know, for you
and the mel As Miracles. It's it's something cool to
kind of watch because this started at to Questa Country
Club when we moved down here, I think like seven
years ago or something, and Brandon was like, Hey, I'm
playing in this, you know event and it raises money
(15:24):
for the families of you know, phign officers or anybody,
you know, first responders thinks of that nature. I'm like, okay,
and that I wasn't involved the first year, and then
I went and played golf with you know, the founder
of the tournament, and he pulled me in. I got
on the committee there and started working with them. This
is I think it was my sixth year or something
(15:45):
like that, maybe seventh year with them. So it is
a pro am and it was at Trump Jupiter this
year and attracted some decent names. I always do the
onen course interviews, so I posted up on eighteen, which
you know, if you know Trump Jupiter, it's like there's
some water to the right, the greens right here, and
then the club asse to the left, naturally being Trump.
(16:06):
Trump's in one of his courses. They had bulletproof glass.
But what wasn't bulletproof it was the lamp shades. And
we were in you know, I told our camera guy,
I said, you know, for the aesthetics set up here,
you know, I want to side you with the green
because it had the American flags all around. I mean,
we were just in the danger zone all day long.
I think some people were trying to avoid us just
went in the water because they were nervous for us,
(16:28):
but took out a lamp post whatever. But anyway, a
lot of great play in the room for.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
A swing and ding it set up down there. Next year,
what do you think.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
A billion percent? I will retire my I pulled Gabby,
my good friend Gabby and who's played you know event
with me, and she's she helps me with interviews, so
I can have her take over that and we'll do
the swing and ding it pod next year. That'd be amazing.
They had a local country guy here do like the
after party, but they had Laura Trump as a keynote
(16:58):
speaker at the gallop and they before they raised like
over one I think it was like one point three
million dollars at the end of the day. So as
I was saying, like inspiring for us, for you like
for events. I think their first year they made fifty thousand,
next year one hundred thousand, trending trending in year seven
over a million dollars hosting a such a beautiful you
know course like Trump Jupiter, and then you know some
(17:19):
of the players highlighting obviously Brandon played, Ben Griffin, Eric Cole,
Bob Ford, Ben Taylor, and then you have a lot
of the long drive guys. Wes Patterson front of the
show is always involved as well as his wife. So
just a really great event. I didn't get a chance.
I usually don't to drive around or ride around the
course too much because I'm stuck on eighteen they're interviewing.
(17:42):
But Brandon said they actually had something on every single hole.
They actually had a company regripping clubs on the one hole, like, hey,
you want your club's regrip like boom, boom boom, And
I'm like, does that even set in time? Like aren't
you not supposed to touch on brands like seers a
super fast setting or whatever. It's like fifteen minutes. He said,
like two or three guys in his group were like, yeah,
(18:03):
regroup my clubs. I'm like, what, yeah, yeah, but a
bunch of different things. There was an app I came across,
so I, you know, connecting with that guy. But yeah,
just see how many things are constantly in the loop
in the game of golf. Got me a little excited
for the PGA show upcoming. But yeah, great event down there.
Definitely need to get the whole team down there next year,
(18:24):
and you know, check out some of the guys have
them on there highlight that event, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
That'd be awesome, that'd be awesome, and then some of
the other young guys we're talking about Final stage. Oh yeah,
so yeah, I mean this is this is when things happen,
when moves get made for these these fellas.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, I feel I feel like a lot of times
Q School and Final Stage like don't get talked about.
You know, a lot of the not casual golf fans,
but I mean, I guess general golf fans, if you will,
like they just think like, hey, it's golf, and you know,
we want to see the Rickey Fowlers, Jordan Space, you know,
Scottish shufflers. But they don't, you know, pay attention too
(19:02):
much to the younger guys, like maybe you know we
do or I do, but you know, I know the
grind of final stage from the from the way beginning
of trying to get your you know, stage one, trying
to get your desired you know, course you you get
the course in the order for first stage anyway of
whoever signs up first. So like if you want to
(19:22):
play in Florida, if you live in Florida, I want
to play in Florida at the course thirty minutes a
way that you played a few times, you have to
be on there, like first one. If not, you're you're
going to end up in Idaho, you know, or Louisiana
or something. So I remember the one year was like,
you know, Brandon, his friend Patrick Ross and and Cole
Wilcox and we had we had like four or five
(19:43):
computers and we're all like, cause, you know, the systems
bogged down. It's like someone trying to get a Scotti
Cameron release. The whole system's done and people are trying
to log on and get you know, their their ideal location,
and half the times you don't end up getting it. Actually,
Brad Faxon couldn't even get his location. I think they
wanted him to fly out to whole Y or something. Yeah,
which is great, which is wild, but that was for
(20:04):
the Senior US Open. But anyway, just a grind from
first age, second stage, final stage all the way through.
So this is a really big deal and I think
at school and like to follow along. So final stages
this week at TPC Sawgrass started today. We're filming or
recording our show a little bit later than normal, but
currently a field of one hundred and seventy one players
(20:27):
compromise through different stages and different locations, and you know,
various finishes from the PGA Tour, but one hundred and
seventy one players. As I said, ninety one players in
advanced from second stage, and the remainder was just kind
of all over the place. But Corey sean new name.
Don't know much about him. He came out pretty hot
today firing a nine under sixty one. I don't know
(20:50):
if I'd ever shoot that in my life. Maybe yeah, pressure,
And I think there was like a story that he
played overseas like a week ago or something in like
seed and his dad was like, just keep going or
something like that. So there's a little story behind it.
I probably should have read it, but I wasn't enticed
enough to do it. I was like, at nine or
sixty one is the headline, and of course I didn't
(21:11):
read the rest. But so the stags are high with this,
so you get PG to our membership for twenty twenty five,
to the top five finishers and ties. So you know,
hopefully Corey keeps his head on his shoulders and you know,
can solidify one of those top five spots. The players
are rotating between Die Valley and Sawgrass TPC Sawgrass Country
(21:32):
Club for the first two rounds. Top half of the
field playing their final two rounds split between the two courses.
So a bunch of names though to watch Tyson, Alexander,
Eric Barnes, Hayden Buckley, Pearson, Coodie, Lanto Griffin, Matt Neee Smith,
Philly Guys, Sean O'Hare, Benny Taylor, Toasty, Carl Ywon, Kyle
(21:52):
west Morelin Bryce and Immigrant Hirshman. We can go on
and on, hank Lebiota, but it should be pretty cool.
So if you guys as interested as I am, you
can watch Saturday on Golf Channel and Sunday as well
in Golf Channel.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
So sweet.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Yeah, how about uh this story with little ties to Philly.
So they're saying that Greg Norman is going to step aside.
It's going to step aside as CEO, and they're saying
that the new CEO that's going to be named is
none other than Scott O'Neill, former CEO of Harris Splitzer
Slash seventy six ers. I've met Scott a few times.
(22:29):
That is an interesting move. If that happens.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's like, how do you how do you get in?
Like how do you even get your name? Like you're
hot thrown into that? I mean, I know, Yeah, I
was like, wait a second, huh I read that one
at a time or two, But wow, interesting.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Yeah, still so much, still so much to uh to
get ironed out, right with on on both sides. Yeah, yeah,
even with live in and of itself. Pretty pretty nuts.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
And you know, I go back and forth with the two.
I'm like, Okay, I'm nothing's ever gonna happen. I don't
want to hear about it. And then I hear a
little blip of news like that, I'm like, tell me.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
More, because you like you just don't know what's going
to happen, like you just if you if you had
to say, like what will professional golf look like in
five years? It's it's a mystery, yeah, right, like question mark.
I don't think it's going to be as is right now.
I just don't know what it's going to be.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, I have no doubt we shall see.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah, and how about our boy kids, Lead golf analyst NBC.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's huge, you know, I like it. I think it's
I mean, i enjoy listening to him, watching him like
him and Smiley or uh and Braad of course have
you know, quickly become some of my favorites to listen to.
I think they're doing a right job. They're you know,
a great job and identifying like just a different approach,
a younger approach, just the style of it, you know.
(23:53):
I think Kids and Smiley are great, so good for the.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Game, definitely. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing it. I'm wondering, like,
is this it for kids playing? Though? Overall?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You know, I mean it's kind of like he hung
up the hat in a way, you know, because before
it's like, you're not gonna take a full time position
if you're still flirting with golf, right, like maybe he
plays in some local like pro and Pro members or something.
But I would say that my vote is he's probably
hanging up because I know last year he was like
flirting back and forth with it, saying like, oh, I'm
(24:24):
playing and if I missed the cut that I'm going
to go do some coverage or whatever. But when you're
committing to a full time position, I think that that's cosinuating.
That makes it hanging the hat up at least for
this year, you know.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Yeah, yeah, we have to mention our friends over at
the Penn Club on second awesome event they had there
a couple of weeks ago show em Brace and the
Fox Sports the Gambler Crew. Make sure you check them out.
New memberships available, new options as it gets cold, great
place to work on the game. Make sure you tell
them swing it and ning it sent you. We'll have
more with the course of course when we get back
(24:57):
into the season, and I know Harry's going to get
out there and test some of the courses that they
have on the simulators, so I can.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Give you, I can give you my course of course,
not with Harry Mays.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
So the Grand Wharton do it.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, we can get into the Grand Grand Thornton say
that three times fasts my goodness. But the guys in
the goals, but I need to point out that there's
a there's nothing like the one that Ted Matthews and
I play in. The Guys and gal at e Mannon,
which is no name spelled backwards in Falls, Pennsylvania. So
a lot of you know, a lot of similarities, except
(25:29):
they're playing for a four million dollar person. We played
for two hundred dollars pro Shop credit, so same thing. Yeah,
I was so nervous. It was the first tournament I
ever played, and I think I hammered eight beers and
on the first and I don't even drink beer on
the first let me see one, two, three, there's like
four holes on on the one side of the property
before we cross over the road and play the rest,
(25:50):
and Teddy goes like, give me a beer, and I'm like,
they're all gone. He's like what. I was like, I'm so.
I was like, I'm just so invent. I was like,
it's my swing juice. I was like, and we ended up.
I think we sat on like get sixty nine and
got second place, and I was so pissed that we
didn't win. I'm like, you keep the pro Shop credit.
I don't even want to. We're first loser. Like it's
a stupid but anyway, all right, that not about us.
(26:11):
Back to the Grand Thorne Tivroun Golf Club, located in
beautiful Naples right over here, except on the other coast.
Greg Norman designed course known for its challenging layouts and
picture esque setting. Yeah, Harry needs to get back. This
is this is not like I said, it's my course,
of course with not Harry May's, but the course features
bermuda grass, fairway, strategic bunkering, and water hazards that demand
(26:34):
precision and strategy from players that will not be getting
into the different holes or bunkering or anything else. That's it.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
That's the best I have defending Champs, Lydia Code, Jason Day.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, Jada and Lydia cole back again. I know, I
saw I think it was Ricky and Lexi And then
am I making stuff up in my head? Or did
I see that Netley was a personally with Tony fen
now and now she's with Burger? Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Let me pull up the latest. I thought she was too.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I swear, like I said, unless I'm like delusional. I
swear I saw an update like a picture of her
with Burger.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
And I'm like it is, Yeah, what happened?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (27:10):
I think I think he's had I think he has
an injury situation. Everyone everyone thought he was pulling out
of events because he was joining Live. But I think
he has an injury injury.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Situation or he owes somebody money like Harry was.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Saying, yeah, yeah, but no Berger. How about Daniel Berger
getting a bumper right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
I was like, wait a second, you go from don'ate
a burger? But okay, yeah, so I saw that, but
I did, like I said, I was like, I haven't
been sleeping. I'm like, did I make that up in
my head or that half? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I don't. I didn't see why it happened, but you're right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Okay, yeah, and then Rose Rosang and see.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Oh, Tony Fale withdraws uh with drawn knee injury, setting
a knee injury for missing the event, which he had
he had said, he posted, I'm disappointed to have to
withdraw as I continued to recover from my knee injury.
Playing with Nelly in twenty twenty three was one of
the highlights of my career. I look forward to cheering
her on this week.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, because she played with Denny two years ago, and
then played with Tony last year, and now she's she's
got Daniel Berger.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
So yeah, let's say it.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Let's see if those two can take out Lydia Cohen Jada.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah, oh yeah, well, it'll be good to recap that
when when Harry's back next week.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Can we tease harry struggles.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
And recap Harry's trip I can't wait to hear all
the good and the bad.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Oh yeah, good, bad, ugly, everything in between.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Can't be that bad when you're in Scottsdale.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Can't be goat bad when you're on a golf trip,
you know, and you're getting out of you know, drone
infested Billy Jersey.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
It's not good. It's not good at all. Well, keep
everyone who's not in New Jersey up to date with
what's going on out here.
