Now from sports Radio AM seven to sixty to the Ticket.
This is another edition of The Golf Show. The Golf
Show brought to you by MK Golf Tech, Joe Caruso's
Golf Academy, and by Alamo City Golf Trail. Now on
the first t Andy Everett.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Here we go on a Saturday morning and looking forward
to a week of golf, our weekend of golf, and
then of course next week it's going to get hot.
It's going to be near one hundred degrees midweek this
coming up this week, So we're going to certainly be
in the spring and summer golf weather here in South Texas.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm Andy Everett. Joe Caruso from the Joe.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Caruso Golf Academy out at the Stampedo Driving Range and
Part three joins us. Ready to start battling the summer heat.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
No, but we're changing the schedule this year. Stand out
there in the morning, it's really hot in the morning.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, I always thought when you play real early in
the morning and say like eight, well seven eight o'clock
and it's maybe already ninety degrees by that time, and
the d still in the golf course. You still get
it's more humid than it is. If you wait till
maybe noon or a little bit later.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
It's really bad.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
It's really bad in the morning with all the you know,
after they've watered the golf course there about five five
thirty in the morning, that doe's still out there.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's it's kind of tough, little steamy out there. All right,
let's get us an update on things. I'm sure you
guys are still packed. You're giving lessons all the time,
and golf is continuing to be something people want to do.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
It's it is.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
And I took a video of the of the driving
range the other night on Thursday in parking lots full,
pet boys, parking lots full. I mean, it's uh yeah,
I've always I asked the question the other day to
somebody I knew really well, like twenty years ago, which
you've ever thought it would look like this? And it's
(02:01):
just no way, And it's just everybody that's out there.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
They got their set of clubs over there, golf at
Dick's and a box set and or over there smashing balls,
and they absolutely love it. They're fascinated by the sport.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, I think that's something that I think you get
hooked on it. And if you go to the driving
range and hit one good, you go, Okay, what did
I do to hit the next one good? Obviously that's
where you guys can help out with the lessons and stuff,
but it doesn't take much to get people addicted. I know,
like baseball players. Baseball players take their golf clubs on
(02:35):
every road trip, and if they're not if they're not
pitching that night, they're definitely playing golf. And even if
they are, they might be playing golf. And it's used
to be really hard to get baseball players to get
up early in the morning because they'd play it. They'd
played till ten thirty, eleven o'clock. By the time they
got back to the hotel it was twelve or one,
and they'd sleep in and then eat lunch and go
(02:56):
to batting practice. Now they get five hours sleep, go
to the of course, come back, taking out, and then
go to batting practice.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
I know, And it's same with the hockey guys.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
And it's the sport's grown significantly and it's been it's
been a blessing, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
All Right.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
We're getting close to the end of the golf season
for college and high school, so I'm assuming Alama Heights
girls team is still pretty solid, and golf in San
Antonio has got some really good young players that will
be going to regionals and states and in well, it's already
ended and.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
The state has the state terms, yes, and Alma Heights one.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
They three peeded, So that's.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
An amazing story, I think four out of the five years.
And it is in as long as people have known
Alama Heights girls golf, it's never been much.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
It's been boys back in the.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Day when I was going to school back in nineteen
seventy eight and seventy nine. But now it's girls. And
you have to say one thing. You have to, you know,
give all the credit to Brent mcquisten, the coach who
brought a totally different culture to Alma Heights and brought, hey,
(04:09):
golf is cool. Golf is where we make champions, and
I'm going to show you how to be a champion.
And that's what you've seen. Super organized, very structured Alma
Heights School district. You got to give them just as
much credit. The girls get out of school like around
one so when you go to the head start, Yeah,
(04:32):
they got a huge head start. Man, they're on the
golf course, played nine holes before any other public school
in San Antonio is even close to getting to the
first te So and now, and be honest with you.
If I'm if I had a kid, and I'm coming
in from another city and I'm checking out a couple
of the programs, I'm if I can live in Alma Heights,
(04:55):
That's where I'm going.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, I think that's Uh, you have to play golf.
You can hit rage ball is all you want. You
can pitch and chip all you want, but you're not
going to have preferred lights like you have on the range.
You're gonna have to go hit it, fight it, and
figure out a way to get in the hole.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Yeah, you have to give them all the credit. And Brent,
the coach there, uh, you know they play all the time.
They play four days a week, they practice one day.
He goes, hey, this is the way it is, you know,
and then you'll have some of the girls try to
buck the system.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
He goes, well, good, you don't have to play.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I got another one and he has and you know
next year they're gonna be good again.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So well, once you start kind of a tradition and
then get the pipeline going in the in the grade schools,
in the middle schools, now it just kind of feeds
the monster a little bit.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yeah, you saw it the other day.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
He was the seventh eighth grade Alma Heights Junior High
girls team. It has like thirteen that I counted, all right,
And then the Alma Heights High school girls came out
and they paired them all up and they play like
a little scramble, and so the younger girls could get
to know what the older girls who they are and
(06:04):
what's coming and they're all dressed in color, and it's
like it's like, okay, here's the next gen came up
the pipeline.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well and for a guy, for once you started getting
that team camaraderie and then we're gonna we'll talk about
apparel here in a second, but girls like different types
of apparels, so they're gonna stay up. Theyking one up
each other when they're not in team uniforms.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Uh. And so uh it's little limon skirts.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
That is that the trend, right, now it's been it's
gotta have that one.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, well it's uh it's And I go out to
the San Pedro driving Range occasionally, and it's great to
finally see young people back out practicing and playing, because
there was a period there for a few years. And
I don't know what's going on up in Oklahoma these days,
but I remember when I was a kid, the golf
course I grew up on, the kids were out there
all the time, and then they went away. And now
(06:55):
you're starting to see them come back in DROs and.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
They're they're they're back, and in most of the programs
here in the city, Hey you got to get going
or you're not gonna play.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
All right, you're sporting today a Tiger Sunday red shirt.
That's one of the first I've seen. Give us a
review on on what it feels like. It's he has
three different materials. I have two of them and I'm
gonna get a third. I like the color I've washed them.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
I had.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
The one I have has been washed four times. Still
looks like he brought it out, took it out of
the bag. Now it's it's not it's not it's cut
a little bit tighter than the norm. So it's cuugh
for Tiger, obviously, and but it's nice.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
It's really nice. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I think I've always been a foot joy because they
stratched the shirts. Given stretch, you don't have to buy
a size that's too big so that you get movement
and and they last. And I think, and I'm sure
Tiger's gonna put the materials in there that are if
you're if you're just been in one hundred plus for
(08:08):
a shirt, you're not gonna You're not gonna have to
buy it again for a while if you don't need to.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
No, And it's like it's, uh, this one's a newer
one I just put on and it uh, it's uh,
he did a good job.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I have to commend him. It's material is really nice.
All Right.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We saw some golf this week. They're playing the Truest
Championship in Philadelphia. They played some in really bad weather
yesterday and it was it was better on Thursday, But uh.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You got the who's who up there.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Keith Mitchell is playing really good golf, but you got
guys like JT and and Rory Chasing. And we're getting
a week away from the next major at the PGA Championship.
We're gonna get a lot of really good golf coming
up here in the next few weeks. And next week
at the PGA You've got j T and Rory coming
off of wins uh after the Masters in Hilton Head,
you got Bryce to Shamboo Shambeau playing after the career
(08:59):
the winning Korea. You got Scotty Scheffler winning last week.
So this is going to be some I think exciting
times the next few weeks for golf.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I'm going to.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Just looking at the rough and everything there at where
they're going to call, Yeah, I'm JT's outcause he can't
keep the ball in play off the tea. Now, he
did win, but he went on a place where he
didn't have to hit draw rough and no rough, and
so you know it's kind of setting up because there's
(09:35):
again I'm going to say it again, we need everybody back. Yes,
it's oh Scottie, Scottie. Well, it can't just be Scotty
right all right, and the the but right now you
know somebody who hits it in the fairway, who doesn't
care about how far it goes. Scotti Scheffler because he's
realized he's somebody's doing analytics for him because he doesn't
(09:57):
hit it past three hundred yards.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Well, it's kind of funny because I saw this video
that he did. It was like a TikToker YouTube video.
Guy's driving around in a cart. He teas up a
driver and says, they got track man out there. How
far are you going to hit this? Three oh five?
It went three oh six, All right, three? Would how
far you go to hit this? Two eighty five to
eighty four point seven? And before he hit every shot
(10:20):
then five and I'm gonna hit two ten, two ten
point two, and he was mad that it was two
tenths of a yard too long. And then I think
the sixty degree waves, let's go one o five And
he got it right on the number according to the
TrackMan stats. So he knows precisely where the ball is
going every time.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
He's the guy they If it's that precise, then if
he's off just a little bit, he's still on. So
it's he's you know, that's sign of greatness.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
We saw Scott he win by eight over Eric van
Royan last week. I heard an interview that Eric van
Ryan did and it was Fred Alberts from Or One
of the guys from PGA to a radio and the
first question was, well, it's not often you shoot twenty
three under.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And lose by eight. How do you feel?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And he said that guy over there is really good
at golf and I played as well as I can
and I couldn't beat him.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
The other thing that happened is Jordan's Speed shot sixty
one the last day to get to nineteen hunder and
a lot of people are going, oh, he's back. PGA's
coming up all this kind of stuff. I've never played
TPC Craig Ranch. It looks like it would be a
fun golf course to play because it's not really that
hard and if you put wedges in pros hands and
(11:35):
benine conditions and no wind, they're going to go deep.
And even Jordan Speed's going to go deep. But he's
in the same boat as he's been. Can he keep
the ball in play as far as he's hitting it
now with the grip and the swing that he has.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
No, no, and we can you know, I don't want to.
There's no debate, all right, because it's just mechanically it
doesn't work. But the other he refuses to do it
or Cameron McCormick just doesn't want to bring it up.
But I would have to say Cameron brings it up
and he doesn't want to do it. So I've done
(12:10):
this since I was twelve years old. I'm not changing anything.
So you can tell he can't hit out a rough.
He doesn't get the ball out of rough real well,
you know when he wasn't rough at a TPC Craigs Ranch, which.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Is for a TPC course, it's wide open. It's not
wide open, but for TPC it is.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
It's not that hard, and it was wet and the
guys are throwing darts in the.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Wedge. He's a great wedge player.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
From inside one hundred and ten yards, but outside of that,
I don't you know, you have no idea where it's
going to go, and he'll he'll say it, So I've
never andy. You can look at all the great so
played the game all the way to fifty years old
and now into their fifties, they're a ninety five percent
(12:59):
of them have a great grip. What made David Ogan.
I'll bring up David Ogan for an example. People would
say he wasn't built for to play the game like
a Tiger Woods or somebody like that.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
All right.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
He kind of had a little bit of a drop
as he came through the ball, but he had a
perfect grip.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And when you have grip control of the club.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Right, you have control of the club, but you have
control of the face. So you know what your hands
are doing. So if I do something with my left hand,
turn it down or open it up, I know what
the face is going to follow it. So it's there's
no if sands or butts on this, you know. Well,
this guy here, you know, look at Jim Furick. There's
(13:40):
an outlier somewhere.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And Paul Azinger had his hands way into the club
and won a few times, but not a lot.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
He won a few times. Great putter, great wedge player,
all right. Zach Johnson, all right, another one. And even
Mike Bender goes, hey, look, we need to change this
down the road, all right, for you to continue playing
into your fifties. And if you look at Zach, his
left hands starting to creep a little bit weaker than
(14:06):
it used to be, So you know, I just, uh,
it's just the.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Way it is.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Well, there's a they've had these these molded grips on
clubs since I first started playing and I I mean,
I never bought one, but I would pick one up
in the pro shop and hold it.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay, I'm ready to go, and Scotty.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Scotty goes out on the range and it's one hundred
balls with a club with that grip on it and that.
Then he gets another, Then he gets his regular clubs
he's gonna actually play with. And he's got he's got
that memory of that hand. Memory is age has thirty
balls with it.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
And if you look, and if you watch he his
club face never varies, it's never varied since he's been
out there.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
It looks the same.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
And yes, his arms are higher is what they call
a left arm above shoulder stilt. But he has control
of the face. He knows where it is and if
he needs to draw it, he knows what he needs
to do.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
He can't.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
You can't opposite the left hand, can't be opposite of
the face.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
There's just you can do it. But for how long? Yeah,
before you quit?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
All right, we got a lot of things to get
with Joe about today, a lot of tips to talk about.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
We'll talk about.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
They're celebrating Tiger's twenty fifth anniversary of the greatest season. Ever,
with Johnson Wagner trying to reinvent some of the shots
that he hit so far, it's not going all that great.
We'll also talk about the schedule the next few weeks
and a golf club that Colin Marakawa just put in
his back recently that he actually likes and didn't think
he would.
Speaker 2 (15:33):

If I'm if I had a kid, and I'm coming

(04:55):
That's where I'm going.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, I think that's Uh, you have to play golf.
You can hit rage ball is all you want. You

They play four days a week, they practice one day.
He goes, hey, this is the way it is, you know,
and then you'll have some of the girls try to
buck the system.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
He goes, well, good, you don't have to play.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I got another one and he has and you know
next year they're gonna be good again.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So well, once you start kind of a tradition and
then get the pipeline going in the in the grade schools,
in the middle schools, now it just kind of feeds
the monster a little bit.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yeah, you saw it the other day.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
He was the seventh eighth grade Alma Heights Junior High

Speaker 4 (06:30):
That is that the trend, right, now it's been it's
gotta have that one.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, well it's uh it's And I go out to
the San Pedro driving Range occasionally, and it's great to
finally see young people back out practicing and playing, because
there was a period there for a few years. And
I don't know what's going on up in Oklahoma these days,

all the time, and then they went away. And now
(06:55):
you're starting to see them come back in DROs and.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
They're they're they're back, and in most of the programs
here in the city, Hey you got to get going
or you're not gonna play.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
All right, you're sporting today a Tiger Sunday red shirt.
That's one of the first I've seen. Give us a
review on on what it feels like. It's he has
three different materials. I have two of them and I'm
gonna get a third. I like the color I've washed them.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
I had.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
The one I have has been washed four times. Still
looks like he brought it out, took it out of
the bag. Now it's it's not it's not it's cut
a little bit tighter than the norm. So it's cuugh
for Tiger, obviously, and but it's nice.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
It's really nice. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I think I've always been a foot joy because they
stratched the shirts. Given stretch, you don't have to buy
a size that's too big so that you get movement
and and they last. And I think, and I'm sure
Tiger's gonna put the materials in there that are if
you're if you're just been in one hundred plus for
(08:08):
a shirt, you're not gonna You're not gonna have to
buy it again for a while if you don't need to.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
No, And it's like it's, uh, this one's a newer
one I just put on and it uh, it's uh,
he did a good job.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I have to commend him. It's material is really nice.
All Right.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We saw some golf this week. They're playing the Truest
Championship in Philadelphia. They played some in really bad weather
yesterday and it was it was better on Thursday, But uh.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You got the who's who up there.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Keith Mitchell is playing really good golf, but you got
guys like JT and and Rory Chasing. And we're getting
a week away from the next major at the PGA Championship.
We're gonna get a lot of really good golf coming
up here in the next few weeks. And next week
at the PGA You've got j T and Rory coming
off of wins uh after the Masters in Hilton Head,
you got Bryce to Shamboo Shambeau playing after the career
(08:59):
the winning Korea. You got Scotty Scheffler winning last week.
So this is going to be some I think exciting
times the next few weeks for golf.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I'm going to.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Just looking at the rough and everything there at where
they're going to call, Yeah, I'm JT's outcause he can't
keep the ball in play off the tea. Now, he
did win, but he went on a place where he
didn't have to hit draw rough and no rough, and
so you know it's kind of setting up because there's
(09:35):
again I'm going to say it again, we need everybody back. Yes,
it's oh Scottie, Scottie. Well, it can't just be Scotty
right all right, and the the but right now you
know somebody who hits it in the fairway, who doesn't
care about how far it goes. Scotti Scheffler because he's
realized he's somebody's doing analytics for him because he doesn't
(09:57):
hit it past three hundred yards.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Well, it's kind of funny because I saw this video
that he did. It was like a TikToker YouTube video.
Guy's driving around in a cart. He teas up a
driver and says, they got track man out there. How
far are you going to hit this? Three oh five?
It went three oh six, All right, three? Would how
far you go to hit this? Two eighty five to
eighty four point seven? And before he hit every shot
(10:20):
then five and I'm gonna hit two ten, two ten
point two, and he was mad that it was two
tenths of a yard too long. And then I think
the sixty degree waves, let's go one o five And
he got it right on the number according to the
TrackMan stats. So he knows precisely where the ball is
going every time.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
He's the guy they If it's that precise, then if
he's off just a little bit, he's still on. So
it's he's you know, that's sign of greatness.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
We saw Scott he win by eight over Eric van
Royan last week. I heard an interview that Eric van
Ryan did and it was Fred Alberts from Or One
of the guys from PGA to a radio and the
first question was, well, it's not often you shoot twenty
three under.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And lose by eight. How do you feel?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And he said that guy over there is really good
at golf and I played as well as I can
and I couldn't beat him.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
The other thing that happened is Jordan's Speed shot sixty
one the last day to get to nineteen hunder and
a lot of people are going, oh, he's back. PGA's
coming up all this kind of stuff. I've never played
TPC Craig Ranch. It looks like it would be a
fun golf course to play because it's not really that
hard and if you put wedges in pros hands and
(11:35):
benine conditions and no wind, they're going to go deep.
And even Jordan Speed's going to go deep. But he's
in the same boat as he's been. Can he keep
the ball in play as far as he's hitting it
now with the grip and the swing that he has.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
No, no, and we can you know, I don't want to.
There's no debate, all right, because it's just mechanically it
doesn't work. But the other he refuses to do it
or Cameron McCormick just doesn't want to bring it up.
But I would have to say Cameron brings it up
and he doesn't want to do it. So I've done
(12:10):
this since I was twelve years old. I'm not changing anything.
So you can tell he can't hit out a rough.
He doesn't get the ball out of rough real well,
you know when he wasn't rough at a TPC Craigs Ranch, which.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Is for a TPC course, it's wide open. It's not
wide open, but for TPC it is.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
It's not that hard, and it was wet and the
guys are throwing darts in the.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Wedge. He's a great wedge player.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
From inside one hundred and ten yards, but outside of that,
I don't you know, you have no idea where it's
going to go, and he'll he'll say it, So I've
never andy. You can look at all the great so
played the game all the way to fifty years old
and now into their fifties, they're a ninety five percent
(12:59):
of them have a great grip. What made David Ogan.
I'll bring up David Ogan for an example. People would
say he wasn't built for to play the game like
a Tiger Woods or somebody like that.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
All right.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
He kind of had a little bit of a drop
as he came through the ball, but he had a
perfect grip.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And when you have grip control of the club.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Right, you have control of the club, but you have
control of the face. So you know what your hands
are doing. So if I do something with my left hand,
turn it down or open it up, I know what
the face is going to follow it. So it's there's
no if sands or butts on this, you know. Well,
this guy here, you know, look at Jim Furick. There's
(13:40):
an outlier somewhere.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And Paul Azinger had his hands way into the club
and won a few times, but not a lot.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
He won a few times. Great putter, great wedge player,
all right. Zach Johnson, all right, another one. And even
Mike Bender goes, hey, look, we need to change this
down the road, all right, for you to continue playing
into your fifties. And if you look at Zach, his
left hands starting to creep a little bit weaker than
(14:06):
it used to be, So you know, I just, uh,
it's just the.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Way it is.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Well, there's a they've had these these molded grips on
clubs since I first started playing and I I mean,
I never bought one, but I would pick one up
in the pro shop and hold it.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay, I'm ready to go, and Scotty.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Scotty goes out on the range and it's one hundred
balls with a club with that grip on it and that.
Then he gets another, Then he gets his regular clubs
he's gonna actually play with. And he's got he's got
that memory of that hand. Memory is age has thirty
balls with it.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
And if you look, and if you watch he his
club face never varies, it's never varied since he's been
out there.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
It looks the same.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
And yes, his arms are higher is what they call
a left arm above shoulder stilt. But he has control
of the face. He knows where it is and if
he needs to draw it, he knows what he needs
to do.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
He can't.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
You can't opposite the left hand, can't be opposite of
the face.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
There's just you can do it. But for how long? Yeah,
before you quit?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
All right, we got a lot of things to get
with Joe about today, a lot of tips to talk about.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
We'll talk about.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
They're celebrating Tiger's twenty fifth anniversary of the greatest season. Ever,
with Johnson Wagner trying to reinvent some of the shots
that he hit so far, it's not going all that great.
We'll also talk about the schedule the next few weeks
and a golf club that Colin Marakawa just put in
his back recently that he actually likes and didn't think
he would.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
That's coming up. It's in the Golf Show on the
ticket
