Speaker 2 (00:29):
All right, good morning everyone, It's time to talk golf
for the next hour.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And there's a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Even though the PGA Tour season and kind of ended,
they're back into the beginning of the next season and

to wait till January till we get some of the

Speaker 1 (00:58):
How are things in your world?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
It's doing very well. Thank you, Andy, Thanks good.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Thanks for being here. I haven't been to the range
in a while. I'm going to try tomorrow. I'm going
to try to see if I can make a golf
swing tomorrow. I've had this foot injury and I had
the follow up yesterday and they said do whatever you
can tolerate. So I'll see if I can tolerate a
golf swing.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
There you go. I'm sure wedshots for sure. Yeah, I'll start.
I'll start at the top of the bag and see
what I can do, and see if I can get
through a seventy ball bucket and go from there. I
thought it would be driver like everybody else out there now.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well, even when I go practice, unless I'm just really
having a problem with the driver, I don't hit very
many drivers.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
The driver will.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Wear you at You can hit seventy webshots and go
run a marathon.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
You get ten drivers. You need oxygen, especially with the
heat we have right now. It's been tough the last
couple of days.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, I would assume that everything is still very busy
out there.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
The parking lots usually full when I drive by.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
It was extremely full two nights ago, two big functions
out there. The place was packed yesterday evening. Yesterday afternoon
was kind of quiet. And then all of a sudden,
I mean, just like, so go behind the behind the
San Pedro. It's time to time to hit the range.
Time to go to the range is like places was
(02:17):
packed when I left at six o'clock. So it was it.
It gets It's funny how fast it can get busy
out there, just all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
All right, let's talk some golf.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I was watching a press conference earlier this week, by
the way, Roy McElroy just tied for the lead right
now at the BMW Championship in England. And Rory was
doing that pre week press conference that he always does,
and I was watching maybe two and a half three
minutes of it, and he was answering questions and being
as candidate as he usually is, and I just was
(02:51):
looking him. He looks like he hasn't slept in years.
He looks like he's just beat up. He's tired. He's
going to play the few events he's got left. He
probably needs like a Caribbean vacation for a month where
there's no cell phones and no internet and no contact.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
He looks worn out.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
To me, Well, it's like I was I was seeing
at the beginning of the year we're wearing out our
great players played twenty eight times this year. This is
this is around tournament twenty nine, and that's what you know.
Like just like Patrick Reed, that's what he was talking about.
He goes, we're playing two three times a month, and
(03:27):
just because we come home doesn't mean we stop. We
still have to practice. We can't look cannot practice for
a week and just relax and then go to you know,
a Scottish Open or something else. He was said. It's
I said, it's going to wear these guys out. You're
going to see more injuries, which we saw a lot
of injuries this year. And because one, the guys are
(03:51):
swinging faster, harder, all right, and and you know we
talked about it Andy that we're getting to that tip
end or where the body's just not going to be
able to. Yeah, they handle much more.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I think we're going to see players say I'd rather
be healthy and hit it three twenty than be unhealthy
and hit it three fifty.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Well, I just look at Scotti Shuffler. I mean, how
many times does he really go after it and hit it
past what he could truly do, which is in the
three twenty mark, he's down into the two nineties putting
me in the fairway and then using his great iron
plate well.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
And with the the elements in the irons. You know,
I always talk about this. I watched the thirteenth hole
at TPC all the time, and I can get kind
of parallel to the player, and I can see the
caddy motioning to the TV guy. He's got seven iron.
It looks like four or five iron because how flat
it is. Yeah, it's just that too.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
And the ball speed's coming off these the new clubs
or it's just it's tremendous.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So I just think he's kind of mentally worn out
because he was asked the same questions and we'll get
into some live discussion here in a second, because he
was asked this week about it, and he just like
he's like he's rolling his eyes, and it's like, I
just want this to be.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
A let's just get a deal done. Let's get it
over with.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I think he's just worn out by the politics he's
had to deal with for the last two or three years.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yeah, the first answer that came out of his mouth
was basically, our justice system. Yeah, you know, it's it's
up to them, right. It sounds like it's awfully close,
and it's going to come down to when is the
you know, the deal J going to do something? Yeah,
whatever that is.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well, I think the DJ actually needs to see what
the deal is to see if it's going to match
what they wanted to do. I thought one of the
comments that he made is there's about half the players
on the PGA tour that don't want a deal, and
there's about half the players on the PGA tour.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That do and they all get a vote.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And so when we present this to them and say
we should do this, are we going to get enough
people that are going to be on board to do it?
And the European Tour and the rest of the tours
are going to fall in line with whatever the rank
and file of the PGA tour wants to do.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, that's going to you know the question. I guess
that that question is going to come down to what
do we do the players when they come back? How
do we rank them? Do they get a year exemption?
Do they get to.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Who's the compensation for those that didn't leave?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
No, you're already getting compensated, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, that's what they want though. That's one of those
sticking points too.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
I think they're already getting five hundred thousand before they
tee it up, all right, so you know they at
I just think, you know, that's going to be the
hard part. I was thinking about this morning. It's like,
who's like when you get Abraham answer or Joaquin Neeman,
Okay you come back? What's your status? Yeah? All right,
(06:35):
can you play in you know, what's your status? You
got a year to prove or do you have two
years to prove? And it's like, that's the hard part,
you know, kept getting those guys, you know, yeah, the
major winners, you know you're there, but that's going to
be you know, goots and all those kind of tailor
goots and those guys, what do you do with them?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I think one of the things that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
A lot of the top ten or Top twenty players
would like to see is what I refer to as
a world tour, where twice a month you play in
different places around the world. And I brought this up
the last couple of weeks on the show, But like
in the fall, you play outside of the United States because
trying to play a major golf event September to December,
you're always watching this is it's football time or our
(07:22):
tensions on football.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It doesn't matter what turn you playing.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
We'll get a few people that trickle over for the
President's Cup next week, but for the most part, golfers
are watching football September to December. So play in Korea,
play in Japan, play in South America, play in New Zealand,
play in South Australia, wherever. And you can choose to
if you want to play in those events or not.
If you're an American golfer and you don't want to travel,
you want to fall off. And then January through August
(07:49):
is where you crown champions. And you use a lot
of the marquee tournaments on the PGA Tour as World
Tour stop events.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And I've heard this brought out.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
My problem with that is is how does that save
the PGA Tour because we'll all use Valero as a
sponsor in San Antonio. And the one thing that makes
Valero such a great sponsor for the Elamo Bowl, for
the Texas Open, for whatever else they put their name
on is they want to win. They don't second play sucks,
they don't want any part of that. They want to
(08:21):
win every time they put their brand on something, and
the goal for the PGA Tour was we want to
make the most money for charity, and Valero said done.
And I think in the twenty plus years they've done
it ninety nine percent of the time they've led the
tour in charitable givings. So if you're going to have
a world tour, which Rory has said many times is
(08:41):
the ultimate goal, and then he's not going to show
up for the Texas Open, how long is Valero going
to want to try to win something that's unwinnable.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
There's going to be if that's what's coming. And I
kind of heard the same thing where top sixty five
or seventy players in the world going to play in
these things and then they're gonna be a at the
end of the year, the bottom twenty five go back
to the tour, no matter what your name is, and
the top twenty five move forward from the PGA Tour.
(09:11):
If that's true, then you're gonna lose those twenty tournaments
at some point. At some point they're gonna gradually.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Be a gradual actrician because like you take Cognizant, who
which used to be the Honda or valspar which has
Tampa or a rocket Mortgage.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
That has Detroit.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
If they're not, if they have zero chance of getting
top ten players, then why are they in the game?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Right? So I don't know who knows this is gonna be.
It's gonna be really interesting in the end, all.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Right, Martin Kaimer had an interesting thing to say, And
I don't get this. I don't understand where this is
coming from golf professional golf.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I get college and high school golf is about the team,
and there's usually one or two really good players on
the team, and if they are that team is going
to probably win tournaments and maybe win state.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
But I don't get this.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Going forward, the live is going to be more about
the team concept than the individual I don't care if
the crushers, which I think is Bryson de Shamba's team,
wins or not. I only care Bryson does. I couldn't
even tell you who the other three players are on
his team. So why is all of a sudden, these
marquee players that have been at each other's throats for
the last thirty years trying to beat them think it's
(10:23):
a good idea to make golf a team concept At
the pro level and that be the focus more than
the individual.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, that's a good question. I think it's I think
because they're having they're having a lot of fun. And
in the team concept, you can be off right and
still be part of a winning team that gets a
pretty good payday.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Which goes back to my opinion of the Live Tour.
It's an exhibition tour where people are getting paid to
watch golf. And I talk to a lot of people
that watch and they go, I like watching Lyft, but
all they're doing is watching good players hit great shots. Right,
But when they win the Bois Open, what do they want?
It's got no history and no legacy.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I legacy. That's a tough one for me because it's
a we have a lot of great players in San
Antonio that have played the PGA Tour or have retired,
and my young and we've talked about this recently, it's like,
my young players don't even know who these people are,
(11:36):
you know.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I But my thought is album My thought is, if
you're fifteen years old and you have aspire to be
on the PGA Tour, would you rather win the Bay
Hill and try to break the Tiger's record of winning
their eight or nine times, or would you rather go
play the Portland Invitational and get paid? And for a
lot of them they want to just go get paid.
But again it's you're not to me. Sports is about
(11:58):
history and legacy, and maybe in the next hundred years
nobody cares about history and legacy. But like in baseball,
with what O'TAWNI did this past week and what Aaron
Judge and Want Soda are doing are comparable to what
Babe Ruth and Luke Gerrig did a hundred years ago.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
To me, that matters.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
If they were playing an exhibition series in some of
the country, I wouldn't care.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Yeah, you know, Andy, But our generation does care about
that because it does Yeah, yeah, because we played the sport.
I mean what we're going to play the sport for?
First place? Was going to be one hundred thousand dollars
or fifty thousand dollars, or we're going to play baseball
for because of the love of the game. All right,
and you can go down to the college ranks. Now
(12:40):
I'm football. Why did Saban quit? Why did he retire?
He's just got sick and tired of here. Well, his
wife goes, well, these three guys, right, here don't care
about life, right, They just cared.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Did I get paid?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
No, Okay, I'm going to the next school where I
get paid. And it's like I get it all right.
But so I'm sitting here thinking about our young players.
What are they? What do they do? They want to
win the Masters? Yes, right, want to win a British
or a British Yeah Open, Yeah, US Open or the
(13:14):
US Open. When it comes down to that, yes, everything
else I don't. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But to me, like my love of going to Scotland
is the fact that when my dad and I in
the nineteen seventies would sit there and watch the British
Open on grainy television from the BBC and learn all
about those golf courses, and I wish he would have
had a chance to go.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He never did.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
But when I go, I'm walking through history and I
don't know that the twenty year old cares about history anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
They just want to go get it.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Like I was watching that, I was talking to a
young player, college student getting ready to graduate from Trinity.
I go, man, did you see what Otani did last night?
I go, this's just unreal. It was. I really don't
don't care about that, And I'm like, man, yeah, there's
(14:05):
a lot of distractions.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
We talked about this a few shows ago to moms
and our do dads or our moms watch sports with
their kids and teach them about the game the way
our moms and dads did twenty thirty forty years high.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I think the only game that they're watching together is
college football or pros. If they're in fantasy league, that's
kind of that's really big.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, So it's like they're probably the father and son
are probably in the same fantasy league.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
They don't care who wins. They just want to win
their fantasy league. Yeah, they got force. The TV's going
in my running back wide receiver, right.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, all right, we got a bunch of tips to
get too. We'll talk about the Solheim Cup and the
President's Cup and what's the most favorite golf hole you've
ever played. We'll talk all about that as we continue
on The Golf Show on Sports Radio AM seven to sixty.

play in Japan, play in South America, play in New Zealand,
play in South Australia, wherever. And you can choose to
if you want to play in those events or not.
If you're an American golfer and you don't want to travel,
you want to fall off. And then January through August
(07:49):
is where you crown champions. And you use a lot
of the marquee tournaments on the PGA Tour as World
Tour stop events.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And I've heard this brought out.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
My problem with that is is how does that save
the PGA Tour because we'll all use Valero as a
sponsor in San Antonio. And the one thing that makes
Valero such a great sponsor for the Elamo Bowl, for
the Texas Open, for whatever else they put their name
on is they want to win. They don't second play sucks,
they don't want any part of that. They want to
(08:21):
win every time they put their brand on something, and
the goal for the PGA Tour was we want to
make the most money for charity, and Valero said done.
And I think in the twenty plus years they've done
it ninety nine percent of the time they've led the
tour in charitable givings. So if you're going to have
a world tour, which Rory has said many times is
(08:41):
the ultimate goal, and then he's not going to show
up for the Texas Open, how long is Valero going
to want to try to win something that's unwinnable.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
There's going to be if that's what's coming. And I
kind of heard the same thing where top sixty five
or seventy players in the world going to play in
these things and then they're gonna be a at the
end of the year, the bottom twenty five go back
to the tour, no matter what your name is, and
the top twenty five move forward from the PGA Tour.
(09:11):
If that's true, then you're gonna lose those twenty tournaments
at some point. At some point they're gonna gradually.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Be a gradual actrician because like you take Cognizant, who
which used to be the Honda or valspar which has
Tampa or a rocket Mortgage.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
That has Detroit.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
If they're not, if they have zero chance of getting
top ten players, then why are they in the game?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Right? So I don't know who knows this is gonna be.
It's gonna be really interesting in the end, all.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Right, Martin Kaimer had an interesting thing to say, And
I don't get this. I don't understand where this is
coming from golf professional golf.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I get college and high school golf is about the team,
and there's usually one or two really good players on
the team, and if they are that team is going
to probably win tournaments and maybe win state.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
But I don't get this.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Going forward, the live is going to be more about
the team concept than the individual I don't care if
the crushers, which I think is Bryson de Shamba's team,
wins or not. I only care Bryson does. I couldn't
even tell you who the other three players are on
his team. So why is all of a sudden, these
marquee players that have been at each other's throats for
the last thirty years trying to beat them think it's
(10:23):
a good idea to make golf a team concept At
the pro level and that be the focus more than
the individual.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, that's a good question. I think it's I think
because they're having they're having a lot of fun. And
in the team concept, you can be off right and
still be part of a winning team that gets a
pretty good payday.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Which goes back to my opinion of the Live Tour.
It's an exhibition tour where people are getting paid to
watch golf. And I talk to a lot of people
that watch and they go, I like watching Lyft, but
all they're doing is watching good players hit great shots. Right,
But when they win the Bois Open, what do they want?
It's got no history and no legacy.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I legacy. That's a tough one for me because it's
a we have a lot of great players in San
Antonio that have played the PGA Tour or have retired,
and my young and we've talked about this recently, it's like,
my young players don't even know who these people are,
(11:36):
you know.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I But my thought is album My thought is, if
you're fifteen years old and you have aspire to be
on the PGA Tour, would you rather win the Bay
Hill and try to break the Tiger's record of winning
their eight or nine times, or would you rather go
play the Portland Invitational and get paid? And for a
lot of them they want to just go get paid.
But again it's you're not to me. Sports is about
(11:58):
history and legacy, and maybe in the next hundred years
nobody cares about history and legacy. But like in baseball,
with what O'TAWNI did this past week and what Aaron
Judge and Want Soda are doing are comparable to what
Babe Ruth and Luke Gerrig did a hundred years ago.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
To me, that matters.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
If they were playing an exhibition series in some of
the country, I wouldn't care.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Yeah, you know, Andy, But our generation does care about
that because it does Yeah, yeah, because we played the sport.
I mean what we're going to play the sport for?
First place? Was going to be one hundred thousand dollars
or fifty thousand dollars, or we're going to play baseball
for because of the love of the game. All right,
and you can go down to the college ranks. Now
(12:40):
I'm football. Why did Saban quit? Why did he retire?
He's just got sick and tired of here. Well, his
wife goes, well, these three guys, right, here don't care
about life, right, They just cared.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Did I get paid?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
No, Okay, I'm going to the next school where I
get paid. And it's like I get it all right.
But so I'm sitting here thinking about our young players.
What are they? What do they do? They want to
win the Masters? Yes, right, want to win a British
or a British Yeah Open, Yeah, US Open or the
(13:14):
US Open. When it comes down to that, yes, everything
else I don't. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But to me, like my love of going to Scotland
is the fact that when my dad and I in
the nineteen seventies would sit there and watch the British
Open on grainy television from the BBC and learn all
about those golf courses, and I wish he would have
had a chance to go.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He never did.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
But when I go, I'm walking through history and I
don't know that the twenty year old cares about history anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
They just want to go get it.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Like I was watching that, I was talking to a
young player, college student getting ready to graduate from Trinity.
I go, man, did you see what Otani did last night?
I go, this's just unreal. It was. I really don't
don't care about that, And I'm like, man, yeah, there's
(14:05):
a lot of distractions.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
We talked about this a few shows ago to moms
and our do dads or our moms watch sports with
their kids and teach them about the game the way
our moms and dads did twenty thirty forty years high.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I think the only game that they're watching together is
college football or pros. If they're in fantasy league, that's
kind of that's really big.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, So it's like they're probably the father and son
are probably in the same fantasy league.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
They don't care who wins. They just want to win
their fantasy league. Yeah, they got force. The TV's going
in my running back wide receiver, right.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, all right, we got a bunch of tips to
get too. We'll talk about the Solheim Cup and the
President's Cup and what's the most favorite golf hole you've
ever played. We'll talk all about that as we continue
on The Golf Show on Sports Radio AM seven to sixty.
