Speaker 1 (00:03):
All right, it's a golf show on the ticket, all right,
John Rahm he had a shot in the Spanish Open
on Thursday that ended up in the left roof on
the fourteenth hole, and he was muttering to himself, as
John is known to do at time to time. And
I believe he even said this in English, but doesn't
matter what language it was in, but it was like,
(00:25):
what a day, What a day.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
As he approached the shot.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
The marshall had marked his ball with one of his
little flags so he could easily find it, and the
Marshal said something along the lines of it's okay, John,
and he looked at him and goes, no, it's not okay.
And I think later John went back to the marshall
and said he was sorry and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
First of all, here's where John's wrong.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
The marshals are out there to help run these golf
tournaments with Yeah, they're working for free, and if they
weren't there, you would have.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
A golf tournament.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
So be nice to them, shake their hand, acknowledge them.
You know obviously you're and they're not asking for pictures
or autographs. They know that that's taboo. During the round
but don't if they say something that you don't like,
just be quiet. But on the other side of the equation,
I know there are times when somebody thinks you hit
(01:19):
a good shot and you don't think it was that
good of a shot, and that can kind of be
annoying at times, because I think it's in everybody's human
nature to say good shot after you hit the ball. Well,
it may have been a good shot for you, but
it wasn't what you had in mind as far as
how that the outcome of that shot should be. So
I kind of get the frustration part that, yeah, I'm
(01:40):
two under and I should be seven. So it's not okay,
you're right.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So you have to be careful sometimes because, like you said,
it's like what you what they deemed a good shot
all right, is not in your mind right, and you're frustrated,
and if the round's been frustrating, and then it gets
even worse mentally.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
The one is the bunker shot, where you have what
you think is a relatively benign, easy bucker shot. My
goal is to get this with about five or six
to eight feet and then you hit it fat and
he goes two feet out of the bunker.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
And they go good out and I'm like, no, it
was not.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I'll never forget. We're in Florida and this guy hits
a great pot from about sixty feet and he hits
it almost goes in and realizing, like I said before,
you know, up to that point, he's kind of struggling
a little bit, and I say that nice role. He
looked at me. The only place you get in nice
rolls at a bakery. And I'm like, oh my goodness, yeah,
(02:40):
I'll be quiet, yes, shut up for the rest of
this round. So it's uh no, he gotta be careful,
you know, if you're a spectator or somebody in a
group and that person's kind of semi struggling, Yeah, does
it say anything.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I want to bring there? I just thought of this.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I want to know what you think as a golfer
who actually played professional golf. I got to play in
the two thousand and one or two thousand and two
I think it was two thousand and two Monday pro
am out at Lock in Terra for the Texas Open.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, and Mark Weeby was my pro. Well.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
The backstory on this is about two weeks before the
Texas Open. I was at Lock intera hitting balls on
the range and I was hitting everything left and hitting
it further left. It was a started left in snaphook
from there, and I thought I was making a really
good golf swing. And Brian Gathwright is teaching on the
(03:38):
north end of the range and he's walking to the
south in the range and I go, Brian, I know
you're busy. Can you watch me swing twice? Let me
know what I'm doing. Is there something in the setup?
Is there something I'm doing? So I take two swings.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
He goes.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
He gets in front of me and I had my
club shut about eight degrees at address, so he just
turned the club in my hand and goes, hit this
one boom right down. The mill goes, You're good. So
I'm like, okay, this is great. So I'm playing. I
don't remember the rest of the group, but I'm playing
in this group and Mark Web is hitting everything left
and left and further left, and he is really frustrated
(04:14):
and his caddie can't figure it out.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And I looked up.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I walked up on the tee and I saw so
I went back to one of the people I was
playing with.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I went, I know why he's hitting it left.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Club face is shut it at address?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I'm like, should I tell him? Or should you shut up?
He goes, you know, probably shouldn't say anything.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So if I ever see Mark Weaby again, I'm going
to ask him, would you have ever been okay with
somebody that experienced the same thing that you did?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
And this is twenty two years ago, twenty three years
ago to.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
This day, I'm still and he missed the cut and
he went trunk slamming home that weekend. So I'm just
curious as to what a pro would think of an
amateur telling them, hey, your club face is shut it address.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
You know the times that in the pro ams that
I played with, they've never really said anything if I
was struggling or you know, if I was truly struggling
that bad and he's not hooking it. And you have
an amateur that's a pretty good amateur and comes up
to me and goes, I think if he was put
(05:19):
in the cast in a way, it's like, do you
play with the club face? Aim't that direction? I was
just wondering, maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Like something subtle is that new?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I mean, can I try that? You know something like that?
Something very subtle. He'll pick it up, the player will
pick it up.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I didn't want to like be the guy that was
like I think I know a little bit well, you know,
I could tell. I mean it was it was. It
probably shut more than mine was two weeks two weeks prior.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, I just uh, if he's really struggling and go hey,
club looks a little closed that address, or you get
it gone up and just go the Are you trying
something new?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I like to know.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I love learning about the golf swing right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You're aiming like ten ten yards left? Yeah, the facelooks left.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Are you trying to do something different?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah? Yeah, I don't know. Well, thats be careful.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You gotta be careful because you never know what personality
that you're going to get.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
All right, let's talk about Live There was a report
earlier this week that Live Golf in each of the
last two years has had negative cash flow of five
hundred million dollars, so they basically lost a billion.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Dollars in the last two years.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I have always thought that the Saudis just don't care
about money because they print it pretty much every minute.
Because we're never going to not be dependent on oil.
Regardless of what some people think the world's gonna we're
gonna die as a species when they will runs out, basically,
But how much longer does even somebody that's got all
(06:55):
the money in the world decide to hemorrhage five hundred
million a year.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
When do they say, uncle, I've had enough.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I think it's when the their ego gets knocked to
the ground. It will never be about money.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It will always be always.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Be about well, it's not as successful as it should
have been, all right, then let's shut it down. If
it's not, then I don't want to be part of
my portfolio of all this success of tennis tournaments, f
one whatever, all the other sports that they have themselves.
(07:34):
They make soccer, you know that even if it doesn't
make a lot of money, but it's only losing a million,
or it's whatever it does. It's more of how successful
it is, all right in the not on the money side.
It will never be about money. It will always be
about their ego, their egos getting killed.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
The billionaires of the world, I think, have something in
common is that every day they wake up trying to
figure out what I'm going to make, what I'm going
to sell what success I'm going to be. That's what
drives them to be that rich in the first place. True,
and I've always talked about this since since Lyft came out.
You could win, you know, the Sanderson Farms Tournament in
(08:20):
the fall, and it's got more juice and more history
and more legacy than the Portland Open does in June
on the live tour.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And so what if you win a live event.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, you get a big check and you get to
live in your big house with your big mansion and
all the things that come with it. But what did
I win? There's got to be some emptied emptiness to
all of that. And I think winning a tournament that
has history and legacy matters. Uh, it could, but the
young generation may not because the long young generation isn't
(08:50):
watching as much as we did.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
No, right, all right, had it all? I think he
I think this is more about uh success us and
more about how I can take care of my family
and how I can live, and not as much as
I won the John Deere or I won the Valero
or I won something like that.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I think it was Paul McGinley that said this, and
I think there's some merit to this. Scotty Scheffler's been
amazing in the last three years, but he's also not
had to play with Bryce and the Shambeau in any
of his fields except the majors, And the same with
Patrick Reid and Joaque Neeman, who's been playing really good golf.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Kopka.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
There's probably eight or ten twelve guys on the Lift Tour.
I think there's probably about eight that matter. There's four
to six others that would be really competitive and at
some way shape. We still talk about this three years
after the fact. We've got to figure out a way
to get those guys in fields that Scotty and Rory
(09:51):
and those guys are playing definitely except four times a year,
because world rankings don't mean anything unless those guys are
part of it. Correct, That's that simple, right. They have
to get them back somehow or another. Yeah, we'll see
how how that works out. But and and I don't care. Listen,
you you took the money, donate something to charity, make
(10:12):
a contradict, should to a PGA tour. Go do a
corporate outing with at and T or Valero or whoever
is a major sponsor. Fed X show some up, some
not real necessarily remorse, but some attrition that Hey, I'm
gonna I'm gonna help out the PGA Tour charities and
and then go play golf with the big boys.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And let's great, let's let's unify this thing.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Because I'm tired of watching guys chip it across the green.
I want to see the best of.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
The bus that occasion that occasionally happens.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
All right, let's talk about Johnny Keefer, Corn Ferry Championship,
the Skins game, and one other thing that's kind of
a tip but maybe something you should or should not do.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
That's all coming up next. It's the Golf Show on
