Speaker 1 (00:02):
All right, it's the golf show on the tickets. You
a fan of Ian Baker bench, I like him. I
like him a lot. Yeah, I got to meet him
those five minutes. But he was in the media room
one year at at the one of the Texas Open
was at Lacintera. But everybody says, you know, what a
wonderful person he is. He's decided that he's going to
(00:24):
retire from broadcasting after nineteen years with CBS and thirty
overall because he did eleven with Australian and European tour productions.
But he is somebody else will be in the seventeenth
hour at Augusta next year.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
He's got the perfect voice. Yeah, he's got that Australian accents,
you know, and it's just the knowledge of the game
because he played at a high level, one a major.
All right too, it's a that's a loss. That's a
big loss to the broadcasting booth.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, there's some of the guys that have made the
transition very well from playing to broadcasting, and he's certainly
one of them. And obviously you've got most of the
time he's got Jim nance working with him, so Jim
knows how to get people involved and get them set up.
And when Trevor Immelman takes weeks off, then Ian moves
into the eighteenth Tower as the lead analyst. I thought
(01:16):
he was, you know, he kind of Peter ooster House
a few years ago came down with dementia and early
on set Alzheimer's and it forced his retirement and Ian
kind of took his role and ran with it for
quite a while.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, great voice, great accent. Knows a lot about the game.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
All right, I am. I have never watched from beginning
to end the first Happy Gilmore, but the second one,
apparently people are saying, is better. And it's because of
the golfers on the PGA tour that are having cameos
in this. And they make some parody about Scottie Shuffler
being in jail again and stuff like that. Have you
seen the second one?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, we were downing Porta Ramsa's corpus. The youngest daughter
lives there. That's the Hey, we're gonna watch that. It's
on tonight. I'm like, oh gosh, no, man, I'm not
a I really like it.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And Adam Sandler standlord, but his stick is a little old.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
But the the guys on there, like will Z l
Taurus who plays a role, a major role, and that
was funny. He did good, he did good on that.
It's Scott He gets arrested and thrown in jail. He
punches somebody. Yeah, it was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I saw it like a clip or an excerpt of it,
and he's he's in the jail cell and the guard guns.
You know, Scotty can go home, right, and he goes,
what's for dinner tonight? If I have a chicken finger
some something, I'll stay another night, like it tells. So
I guess I'm gonna have to break down and watch
the second one, even though I don't have time probably
to watch the first one. Speaking of Scotty Scheffler, he
(02:54):
dropped a few jaws the back when he was at
the Open Championship a couple of weeks ago when he said,
winning isn't that big of a deal to me. I
love playing golf, I love competing, but the thrill lasts
for about two minutes and then Okay, what are you
going to do next week? And Tom Brady came out
and said, well, there's no reason why Scotty Scheffler can't
be both a great golfer and a great family person,
(03:16):
although part of the demise of Tom Brady's relationship came
from I don't know when to quit playing football, and oh,
by the way, I'm not going to hang out with
the family. I'm going to go to Tampa for a year.
And now he's involved in broadcasting and as an owner
with the Raiders, and it's clear that he doesn't want
to ever move away from football. That's a priority in
his life, and I get it it should be. But
(03:38):
I think Scotty's doing a pretty good job of balancing
home life and and you know, compartmentalizing things to where
when he's playing golf and working on his game, he's
doing that, and then when he's with Meredith and Bennett's
he's doing that as well.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Well.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
He's our I don't know. Maybe I'm going to say
the first athlete that I know of that at that
the the highest level number one? All right, by far?
That will sit there and go. My faith is number one,
God Jesus number one. My wife is number two, my
kids are number three, and my work is number four.
(04:16):
It's not tigers, It's like my work is number one,
my wife is number three, my kids could be number two.
I don't know who they are.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I think for Tiger Golf was one, two, three, four
and five.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, so I think that's what he's done. You hear
what Spee said. He goes, Look, he doesn't go and
do these things that we do. He doesn't do corporate outings,
he doesn't do this, he doesn't do that, and he
goes you know, And they said, I don't know to win.
But he was still driving that brown suv. You know,
that's Chevy Taho for he can afford a new car. Yeah.
(04:52):
So it's like probably one of the if not other
than maybe uh Tim Tebow, probably one of the most
g greatest athletes there's been playing the game.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Well, there was a reporter and I think the reporter
was from India at the Open Championship that said, when
are you going to start taking your game globally and
don't you feel it's a responsibility as the number one
player in the world to play in Asia and to
play in Australia. And he said no. He said, I'm
going to play twenty rounds, twenty tournaments a year. I'm
coming over here for the Scottish and the British Open,
(05:25):
and if the Ryder Cup or President's Club is overseas,
I'm coming then. But I'm going to play seventeen eighteen
tournaments on the PGA Tour, and I'm going to be
a dad and a husband after that, and that's my life.
And when I get to be forty five or fifty
or on the Champions Tour and my kids start are
grown up and they're doing their own thing and it's
just me and Meredith again, maybe we'll travel the world
(05:47):
and do some of these corporate things and be a
worldwide deal. I don't need to do this. I don't
need the money, and they're more important than me traveling
around and spreading my brand.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
He's got every thing is in his life is in order,
God Jesus. First watch number two kids or number three?
Golf is number four? All right?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Last thing, the Ryder Cup will start. They'll start picking
these final six for that. There's one guy out there
that people are starting to recognize. He's not the top
twenty yet, but that's Chris got her up. Would you
put him on the Ryder Cup team or is he
not not there yet? He's on, He's on. Yeah, he's intimidating,
you know, he's the hottest player on the tour right now.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
He kills it. I mean, what are you going to
stand on the first team. This guy hits it head high,
three hundred and forty yards. It's not launched at a seventeen. Yeah,
he's he's tough. He can putt, he can chip, he
can do it all. Look, I've been to Beth Page
in two thousand and nine US Open. It is death long.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, you better hit it three twenty.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We've got a couple of shorties on our team. All right, get.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
