Welcome to Hitting Jem's Golf, wherewe dig a little bit deeper to find
secret treasure for your betting and DFSpleasure. Yeah. Hello all, I
(00:22):
am the Mojo King and this isepisode number sixty four of Hidden Gems Golf,
brought to you by the Mighty nineteenMedia Group. This week, we'll
be discussing the second major of thePGA season as they get ready to play
the PGA Championship being played in Rochester, New York. To give me if
I sound a little different this week, my body is fighting through something.
They say it's pollen, more thanever this spring, and it's been hitting
(00:45):
everyone in the city. I don'tknow, maybe that's what it is.
It's also possible that it's COVID alpha, Omega beta sci Fi epsilon, but
they aren't head to tell us thatbecause they want us to keep on working
to make the economy go Furiracy theories. Yes, anyway, I guess I
(01:08):
have some allergies that are making mehave a deeper voice. Congrats to all
those who said I need more basedin my voice. Anyway. Interesting side
note, I came across an oldinterview from Barry White and he said he
literally became a baritone overnight. Hewoke up one day at about the age
fourteen and was talking completely different thanhe was the day before. It freaked
(01:30):
his mom out and him used hisfriends. Hey, who knows. Maybe
it's not the poling at all.Maybe I just hit purity. But enough
for all that, let's get itcracking. Maybe my voice will crack.
Two. This is the ninety MediaGirl presentation. Last week was amazingly only
a few days ago, it feelslike ages for Hidden Gems golf. We
(01:53):
had two hidden Gems selections and oneketch a falling knife pick. Those names
were Kevin Chappell, who missed cutcompletely, the comeback kid himself, Vince
Whale, who made the cut offof a strong second round and didn't do
much of anything in the other three. And my catcher falling knife selection was
Justin Lower, who just missed thetop forty, coming in at forty third.
(02:16):
Not seller by any means, butbecause they were long shots and two
of them made the cut, itwas easily a profitable turn at the buyer
Nelson, at least as far asbetting goes. In fantasy, I once
again missed the mark up top,which meant a negative week on that side
of events. I don't like pickingfavorites, and apparently they don't like me
(02:38):
picking them either. But just asthe Great Alea once said, if at
first you don't succeed, dust yourselfoff and try again, try again.
Are you tired of placing bets alone? It's a low depressing, isn't it.
Would you like to connect with somefellow sports betters, talk some strategy,
maybe brag about some big wins.Well, look no further. The

All right, This week we'll bediscussing the PGA Championship being played at
(03:45):
Oak Hill Country Club, the EastCourse in Rochester, New York. The
course was designed by Donna Ross backin nineteen twenty six. Not surprisingly,
it has been renovated a few timessince, most notably by Robert Trent Jones
and later by George and Tom Boz, but the course has most recently been
touched up by Andrew Green in twentytwenty. His main goal was to restore
(04:06):
much of the course back to theclassic Donald Ross's design of about a century
earlier, and from all accounts,his emission was achieved. The course is
now a par seventy seven three hundredand ninety four yards. Its greens are
pure bank grass, The fairways area bent poa mix, while the rough
is tall fescue blue grass and ryegrass combination. The greens will be tricky,
(04:30):
meanwhile, the rough is said tobe deep and tricky itself. Oak
Hill representatives have called the rough openlike in difficulty. In addition, the
fairways won't be too easy either,as golfers will face many uneven lies on
this contoured, hilly plot of land. And then there are the bunkers.
They are deep. This is nota course where golfers will be fine bailing
(04:51):
out to a bunker near the greens. These sand traps are no fun.
Overall, we're looking at a trulydifficult course where nothing will come easy.
The winning score this week may struggleto crack into double digits. Also a
difficulty for US selectors here. Wedon't have any course history at oak Hill
to go over. That's despite thefact that the course has held three PGA
(05:15):
Championships and three US Opens before,but all those events were years ago and
they will well before these latest renovations. Look at those results at your own
risk. So what do we doat calm tournaments? Only one tournament strikes
me to Mike Core as comparable,and that's last year's BMW Championship. William
Ting Country Club was also a AndrewGreen project, which, like this week,
(05:38):
included the removal of trees and wasa restoration. With that said,
I'm not going overboard on that inone event. I'm just looking at tough
fields, tough courses over the lasttwelve months, along with signs of life
recently and now your featured presentation uptop. With this much talent here,
a lot of folks can win,but if forced to pick one, I
(05:59):
am going to go with that BMWevent winner mister Hatcher. Cantley cases can
be made for dozens of others.So let's move on to the hidden gems,
shall we. Now A lot oftimes I don't look at the odds
before making my selections. After doingthis for as long as I have,
you get a pretty good idea ofwhere players are on the betting boards.
This week. I happened to peak, and I wish I hadn't. I
(06:21):
really don't like the odds out there. I would be betting very light this
week. I just don't see theprofit potential that I hope for. There
are two players that I won't bebetting this week, but I did have
lined up for the show. Thatwas Robert McIntyre and Taylor Pendrith. Out
of the two, the European McIntyrehas been playing better of late. Pendrith
was more of a field play,but both have some serious length in the
(06:43):
game and they have shown real potentialin big events. McIntyre has two Open
Championship top tens in his resume,while Pendrith was twenty third in the twenty
twenty US Open and was eighth inthat BMW event that I've spoken of earlier.
My first true hidden selection is theseventy fifth ranked player in the world,
thirty eight year old Gary Woodland.Gary's had a couple of tough years
(07:06):
since a great twenty twenty season atthirty eight, is fair to question if
he can ever reach those heights again. But what Gary seems to do with
amazing consistency is to show up attougher field events. Since the beginning of
twenty twenty two, he's had eighttop twenties. Among those events include a
fourteenth at the Masters, a ninthat the Genesis, a tenth at the
(07:28):
US Opened, and a fifth atthe API. Gary isn't what he used
to be at his peak, buthe does seem to show out when he's
up against stars. In addition,Gary's made six straight cuts, a feat
that he hadn't done since twenty nineteen. And finally, my ketch of folly
Knife selection doesn't quite have the catchof falling knife odds I expected, but
(07:49):
that is the two hundred and fortythird ranked player in the world, forty
four year old Jimmy Walker. Theveteran in many ways, is a low
budget Garry Woodland. For me,Jimmy is clearly fighting father time. Jimmy
is also battling lime disease, butpeople might forget that he was a problem
back in twenty thirteen to twenty sixteen. Walker doesn't have the same show up
(08:11):
at tough Field events resume that GaryWoodland has. But like Woodland, he's
on a bit of a hot streak. He's made five straight cuts, four
of them being twenty fifth or better. He hadn't made five straight cuts since
twenty nineteen as well. Maybe,just maybe something has clicked in Walker's game,
or better yet, maybe he's feelinghealthy for once in a long time.
(08:33):
All right, that's it. Meand my voice are out of here.
I appreciate you all. Oh,by the way, be wary of
players that go out early Thursday andlate Friday. As of right now,
it looks like they may have somecold and then wind issues. All right,
that's all I got. Sign upfor sharps and keep thinking, keep
(09:13):
doing. Okay, So keep digging, keep digging, keep talking, keep
digging. Let's keep taking like amillion times, keep digging in and then
you'll find treasure in the snow.It's recording your audio, not here,
(09:33):
not you're dancing. I know,did keep digging. Oh my goodness.
All right, this week my dadwill be this This weekment that's so funny,
(10:00):
still disgusting. Next this week,my dad will be discussing. This
week, my dad will be discussed. All Right, deep breath, because
you gotta say no, okay,discussing. This week, my dad will
be disgusting.
