Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Augusta Golf Show with John Patrick here
on News Talk WGAC.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Pleasure to welcome Johnson Wagner back to the Augusta Golf Show.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
I feel like the beauty of it is that we're
taking the viewer down on the ground at these venues
and really digging into some of the shots of the day,
and it's no I've gotten so comfortable. I've gotten so
comfortable with it and setting up a shot that the
outcome of the golf shot is almost doesn't matter compared
to the setup and where we are and where we're

(00:31):
taking the view He.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Is also the voice of the Tennessee Titans. It's a
pleasure to welcome Taylor's Arzer back to the Augusta Golf Show.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
You know, I didn't get to see Jack Nicholas in
his prime. I guess that probably maybe Hogan or Nicholas
would be the closest thing to what we're seeing with
Scheffler's this ability to execute.

Speaker 5 (00:48):
Shot after shot after shot, and.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
We really haven't in this generation.

Speaker 6 (00:52):
We didn't.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Tiger Woods's talent is above all else. I'll argue that
with anybody, I think he's the most talented guy to
ever play the game, but Tiger missed more shots than
Scottie does.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Good morning and welcome back to the Augusta Golf Show.
I'm John Patrick. Matt Adams is the host of fair
Ways of Life. He will also host Golf Central on
Golf Channel. Occasionally, Matt will be a part of the
radio coverage of next week's Open Championship at Royal Port
Rush in Ireland. Matt is in Ireland this morning. It's

(07:49):
a pleasure to welcome Matt Adams back to the Augusta
Golf Show. How are you Matt?

Speaker 10 (07:55):
Good at John Patrick? How are things in your.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
World not as good as they are in yours.

Speaker 10 (08:02):
You know, we got lucky today because everyone will talk
about the weather in Ireland and next week it's very
much scheduled to be a mixed bag of some sun,
some clouds, some rain, lots of wind. But today was
one of those, you know, camber commerce day, probably seventy
five degrees, not a hint of humidity, barely a breath

(08:23):
of wind, and glorious sunshine. So definitely definitely a nice
day to be in le Hinch, Ireland for sure.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
How many times you've been over there, Well, I'm.

Speaker 10 (08:33):
A dual citizen, so I end up being in Ireland
at least all at parts of two to three months
a year, and it's usually spread out between four to
five separate trips. So anytime I'm coming over to broadcast
over here Women's Open or the Open or a Ryder
Cup or whatever it is, I'm always stopping by as well,

(08:56):
because the Hinch is my village's home, so I love it.
It's I feel like, if you have the right mentality,
spirituality and emotions for it, that Ireland can be a
place where your soul is set free to soar. That's
how it is for me.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I've had many people say to me, Matt, if you
can only go to one, if you can only go
to Scotland, or you can only go to Ireland, go
to Ireland.

Speaker 10 (09:24):
Well, the difference is is that in Scotland's brilliant too.
But the difference is is that Ireland is unprotected from
the ravages of the Atlantic Ocean. So the dune structure
here is by and large across the board far more dramatic,
plummeting valleys, absolutely mountainous, you know, heather shrouded or maringrass,

(09:47):
the native grass shrouded dunes, so they're much much more dramatic.
It's just Ireland doesn't have the lore of the Scottish
golf courses and some in England because of the open
and but those are brilliant too, and those are very
fun to play. But in terms of pure links golf
as it was, meaning that very little of it was

(10:10):
touched by the hands of man that Ireland there's nothing
else like it.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
So now when you go, what do you look forward
to the most?

Speaker 10 (10:21):
It's a combination of things. John Patrick, I just came
up from Bally. I belonged to Bally Bunyan, Lahinch and
Trulee in this part of Ireland, and I very much
look forward to going back and seeing the golf courses.
At bally Bunyan we have thirty six holes. We have
the Old Course, the famed Old Course, but we also
have a course called Cash and that was designed by
Robert Trent Jones Senior and it's getting a touch up

(10:41):
as we speak by Tom Watson, and so I wanted
to see the changes the holes, you know, I help
them out with some different ideas of things to do
in these different courses, and so it's fun to see
things come to fruition and it's absolutely brilliant. They've got
about half of it done now and they're working in
the second. Then up here at Lahinsha Course playing the

(11:03):
Old Course, there's nothing else like it. We have the
Irish Open here in twenty nineteen I was won by
John Rahm. We had the Palmer Cup here last year,
We've got the Walker Cup here next year. Just brilliant,
just joy to be here. And then for me, because
I have so many family and friends in both places,
it's you know, over here they don't use the term vacation.

(11:27):
The word vacation, they used the term holiday and sad
and for me. It truly feels like a holiday like
you used to get when you visit your cousins around
you know, Christmas or Thanksgiving. And so that's the feeling
that I have too, and that is equally as joyful
and important. And all of those gents start waiting in
the wings for as soon as we finish this phone call,

(11:47):
I could assure you were going to have a ball.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
What I'm sorry to keep you from that. What would
you What did you tell somebody listening this morning who's
never been, what would you tell them about going for
the very first time?

Speaker 10 (12:00):
I think a trip to Ireland, if it isn't life altering,
it's at least life affirming. And what I mean by
that is is when you're staring into dunes that at
one time were covered by the sea that sore hundreds
of feet, or looking off cliffs but the cliffs of
Mohar off off the Hint that are one of the
wonders of the world, you realize that we put far

(12:24):
too much stock in our day to day lives. We
worry way too much about one thing or another, when
really all we are is a grain of sand. And
I think that Ireland does a brilliant job of instilling
that reality so that stress comes down because you realize
you really don't need to sweat the small stuff because
in the scale of time and in the eyes of eternity,

(12:46):
it really doesn't matter. Enjoy the day instead of allowing
it to rule you. And that's the thing that I
love about Ireland the most is that the Irish know
how to live and they know how to enjoy life
and have a unique perspective that's surround And that would
be the thing that I would say to people, aside
from the fact that, as I've already stated, I believe
it has the best links golf in the entire globe.

(13:08):
But that's just the benefit that goes along with everything else.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, then before we get to the open stuff, give
somebody who might be going for the first time, give
them a golf course that you love that they never
hear about much.

Speaker 10 (13:24):
In the Southwest. It would be Dukes. It's a little
hidden gym. It's a golf course that sits on a
linksy promontory that plummets down into the sea kind of
kind of trundles down into the sea from a high
point of the property where the clubhouse is, and then
you loop your way back around and come back uphill
again to finish. It's a course that very very few

(13:47):
people would have heard of. It's getting better known now
than it was, but it's a lovely course because it's
not overly long, but it has all the elements of links.
It's the type course that I recommend to people if
you're coming over for the first time, start your trip there,
and I like to say to people, get some air
in your lungs, you know, stretch your legs and start

(14:08):
to have some fun hitting shots like you need to
hit on a links golf course. So that would be
one that I would strongly recommend.

Speaker 15 (14:15):
Again.

Speaker 10 (14:15):
It's called Duke's d Oks.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
We're talking with Matt Adams here on the Augusta Golf Show.
Okay Open Championship. Is it the toughest major to handicap
given the numerous variables that are involved.

Speaker 10 (14:34):
I wouldn't say so, to be fair, it's I mean,
if you're looking at variables relative to the weather, it's
it's obviously difficult to handicap in terms of what they're
going to face because what side of the draw you
land on given some weather. If the weather is severe
it can be dramatic, but it's not forecast to be

(14:54):
that yet. It can change, but it's not forecast to
be that yet. There may be one side of the
draw versus another that will have some rain and the
other half will not, but I don't think that would
dramatically impact the scoring. Port Rush, Royal Port Rush. I
was up there three weeks ago checking out the golf course,
and it's a golf course that is incredibly fair. Of

(15:18):
the golf courses on the road, it is incredibly fair.
It's a golf course that you can score on. Rory
at sixteen years old shot a sixty one there and
as we watched Shane march to glory in twenty nineteen,
which was glorious, I was assigned to the group in
front of him on that Sunday. I had Brooks, Kepta
and JB Holmes actually, and it was kind of an

(15:41):
odd pairing, to tell you the truth, because Brooks was
very annoyed with JB's past of play and the decisions
that I made, and JB was didn't seem to be
put off at all by whatever Books's opinion was. It
was quite quite a classic duo. But I was able
to watch a ton of Shane shotts as a result,
because I would link your back behind the players and

(16:01):
I would watch Shane his shots behind us coming towards us.
It was glorious and to think someone with Irish blood
would win on the island in Northern Ireland as it were,
was just it was just incredible. The whole thing was
just truly incredible. But the golf course itself gives you
plenty of opportunities. For example, I was just signed the
first two days in the morning to cover Rory and

(16:25):
remember he had that horrendous start on Thursday morning that
he never recovered from. But the reason why he had
that horrendous start was because he employed for strategy, not
because the golf course took and did not give back.
This is a golf course that if it shows you
exactly where the trouble is, don't hit it here. You
could see it on the tee, it's right there. This

(16:46):
is where you don't want to hit it. And if
you control your emotions and control your physical execution, you
could play very very well there, as we saw Shane
did so brilliantly. So it's not so much of a
jig saw a puzzle it's certainly not the type of
of competition that they had at the US Open, where

(17:08):
everything is set up to be an extreme, severe test
of golf. I think it's I think it's overdone, but
it's it's not that way with the RNA. The RNA's
perspective on it. Not to speak for him, but my
own opinion is to say, whatever the final score is,
it is if the if the winds kick up and
it's over par, it is if if the winds stay

(17:31):
down and it's absolutely perfect scoring conditions, it is what
it is. Just tee it up, gents, go out there
and play. And so for all those reasons, I think
it's it's the most balanced, most equitable major there is.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh okay, hang on, Matt, good place to take a break.
We're going to continue the conversation with Matt Adams in
just a few minutes, but while I have you, take
a look at a couple of the golf headlines from
earlier this week. Headlines are brought to you by Lionel
Smith Limited. Lionel Smith Limited to only the finest in

Don't go away. You're listening to The Augusta Golf Show
with John Patrick here on News Talk and Information WGAC.

Speaker 6 (19:17):
I really didn't start playing golf till I was in college.

Speaker 9 (19:21):
Chris Gunningham, President Waife's every restaurant.

Speaker 6 (19:23):
I tell people all the time. When I'm playing golf
with people and we decide we want to play what
we call an emergency nine, which is an extra nine holes,
they can the husband can always come by the store
and pick up dinner on his way home. He will
keep him by the doghouse when he's bend away from
the house five hours when he wasn't supposed to only
be gone but three and a half or four. So
that's a good thing for him to do, to stay

(19:45):
out of the doghouses. Call his wife and say, I'm
bringing home Wife Saver. You don't have to worry about
cooking the night.

Speaker 9 (19:51):
Put a little South in your mouth at Wife Saver.

Speaker 6 (19:54):
I've been told that Wife Saver chicken will cure the yips,
the shanks, the slices, the hooks, the top everything. So
just come by, wife Serve and give it a shot
and we might cure all that for you.

Speaker 16 (20:05):

For more than one hundred and twenty five years, Pinehurst
Resort has been the home of American golf, and yet
there's never been a better time to be there. Twenty four,
the US Open returned to Donald Ross's masterpiece Pinehurst number two.
But Pinehurst is so much more than one major championship
golf course. Pinehurst is home to ten courses, including its

(21:12):
newest Tom Doaks, rugged and breathtaking design of Pinehurst Number ten.
After testing your game there, grab a couple of wedges
and enjoy a loop on the cradle, the seven hundred
and eighty nine yard short course that's been hailed as
the most fun ten acres in golf away from the course,

the stylish North and South Bar or Carolina Vista Lounge.
Pinehurst continues to evolve, making it much more than a
bucketless destination, but a place to return to again and again.
Go to Pinehurst dot com now to plan your visit.

Speaker 19 (21:51):
Golf Course superintendents are the unsung heroes of our great game,
and because of their efforts, we now have turf that
needs less water, courses that are more sustainable, with many
now offering natural wildlife habitats from the days of old
Tom Morris. Golf course superintendents have given golfers a reason
to love this great game. But don't take my word
for it. Jack Nicholas agrees.

Speaker 11 (22:12):
If you love golf like I do.

Speaker 18 (22:13):
Thank a golf course superintendent.

Speaker 19 (22:15):
A message from the Golf Course Superintendent's Association of America
and local superintendents everywhere.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
All of the conversations from the Augusta Golf Show are
available on our website Augusta Goolfshow dot com, slash listen
that's Augusta Goolfshow dot Com slash listen.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Welcome back to the Augusta Golf Show. I'm John Patrick. Okay,
let's continue our conversation with Matt Adams from fair Ways
of Life and Golf Channel. Okay, Matt, with all the
variables at the Open Championship, would this be a major
championship where you would not just automatically consider Scotty the favorite?

Speaker 10 (22:57):
You know? I think the from the perspective of thinking
that players that are from this side of the pond
have an advantage because it's Links golf, I don't believe that. Actually,
I think from Jack Nicholas, and from Tom Watson, and
from Tiger Woods and many others, we saw that solid

(23:17):
ball striking is valid ball striking. It will cut through anything,
and this is a golf course that's made for solid
ball striking. If there's an area that I think changes
the variable, it's in the green complexes because because of
the winds that a links golf course is subject to
right off to sea, they can't get the greens up

(23:39):
to the speeds that players are traditionally used to. So
many of the players playing this week in the Scottish
Open will get used to the pace. It could be
rolling upwards to maybe a ten ten and a half
and that might be a little bit fast. If the
winds start to kick up, they may let the hair
grow a little bit on those. But the reason why

(24:00):
I think that has an impact is that it starts
to bring into the scenario, in my view, players who
have a tendency to struggle with the putter. So think
of someone like Colin Morricala whose ball striking has just
been sublime this year, just brilliant, but he struggles on
the greens. Think about someone like Tommy Fleetwood, brilliant ball striker,

(24:26):
putter is on again, off again. Think about Tommy losing
to Keegan with the putt that he put on the
ball at the Travelers. It might have bumped something as well,
but he started on the line that he started it
on and Tommy finished second at the last time the
Open was at Port Rush. So those sorts of players
I think are brought more so into the fold. And

(24:48):
Colin Warrikawa obviously has already won an Open, So I
think that's that's another consideration. So and I mentioned that
because you started this conversation saying is it's foregone that
you know Scott Scheffler would be the favorite. I think
Scotty Scheffler is very much the favorite because if you
speed up the greens more and more and more, if

(25:09):
Scotty starts to go a little squirrely with his putter,
not that he's been doing that a lot recently, but
in his past he's had, he's shown as a propensity
towards it. So whether you're talking about Rory, whether you're
talking about Scotty, whether again Colin or Fleetwood, and I
could go to the list of more players who sometimes
get a little dodgy with the putter. I think these

(25:31):
slower greens allow them to be a little bit more aggressive,
to hit a little bit harder, have less of a
tendency get detail of, less of a tendency for the
blade to open. So it's again it goes back to
that general theme in terms of fairness and equity. But
I think that the open opens up the possibilities of
pure ball striking becoming even more important, and that if

(25:53):
I were looking at someone from say odds purposes, or
during a preview from that perspective, that would be the
first place i'd I.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Don't know you mentioned Rory. I don't know that we've
talked since April. What do you make of where Rory's
head is these days?

Speaker 10 (26:12):
I think it's complicated. I've checked in with some of
my contacts on this side of the pond after Rory
had his episode of not speaking to the media in
saying raw, I'm angry at you guys, And from what
I was told by my sources is that Rory was very,
very angry and far more upset than what people actually realized.

(26:36):
His feeling being that he has given and given and
given and made himself available and at times he's been
a scapegoat at times, he's been a poster boy. At
times he's been a source very much of criticism, etc.
But he did it anyway, and he put himself out
there and he gave his honest opinion, and something happened,
like a driver failing to test, his name gets leaked

(26:59):
to the media instead of everybody whose drivers also failed
the test, which included Scotty Scheffler. Now Rory knew Scotty's
driver also failed, but Rory was not going to rat
out Scotty Scheffler. So part of what he said later
on was like one of the reasons I didn't say
anything was I'm not going to lie to you guys,
And I knew I wasn't the only one. And the

(27:19):
other one whose driver failed happened to be Scotty Scheffler too,
and he didn't want to go down that road. He
didn't He didn't want to be the guy that was
put in a position going, don't don't talk about me,
what about him? And so he kind of it stewed it,
you know, it festered, and I thought that was interesting.
I think the other part of it is and he
admitted this, you accomplished something to the scale that he

(27:41):
did in April and winning the Career Grand Slam, not
that the Career Grand Slam doesn't stand on its own merit,
but it was also something incredibly important to him personally.
So the combination of those things was such that now
you have a Rory McElroy that's been to the top
of the mountain, and what's going to motivate you to
climb that cliff again, to hang by your fingernails and
pull yourself up by your body weight and so and again,

(28:04):
I don't think this is unique to Rory. I think
we've seen it at this time. I think We've seen
it in other periods of Rory's career. I almost call
them transcendental moments where I have a sense that maybe
he's maybe he's questioning is it all worth it. I've
got more money than I'll ever spend. I've got a
little girl at home. We've got a new house who

(28:25):
built outside of London at Wentworth that we're going to
call home. Maybe maybe I should just slow down and
enjoy life a little bit now in my mid thirties
at night, late thirties, and so I wonder at times
if he struggles with all that because of the demands
that are around him in every other way, and then
ultimately I think the thing that rescues him is being
between the ropes and with a club in his hands,

(28:46):
and none of the other stuff matters. It's all noise,
it's and and he ends up finding rediscovering. I'm not
sure he has rediscovered it yet. But I also feel
like if there's a place for him to rediscover the
love of the game, it's going to be at Port
Rush one because of what happened last time where he
imploded on day one. He played brilliantly heroically. I dare

(29:08):
say on day two. I was assigned to him that
day as well as with Gordon brand Junior. God Rest
his soul, and we're calling Rory trying to make the cut,
and it was one of the most dramatic days I've
ever spent on a golf course. Even with all the
Majors and Ryder Cups and everything else that I could
mix in there, it was that traumatic because he was
just trying to make it Saturday and Sunday. Ultimately he

(29:29):
missed by one stroke and when he finished and he
was speaking with the media, he started to weep. He
started to openly weep and he said he finally realized
and here he was. This is six years ago, so
he was already in his late twenties early thirties. He
finally realized how important it was that he wasn't only

(29:50):
playing for him. That's an incredible revelation, right for professional
athletes to make. And during that round, the first round,
we bumped into his dad, Jerry, and we're not going
over in exchanging greetings and just seeing how he's doing,
and Jerry unsolicited that it just overcame him. The emotions

(30:11):
of the Open. Returning back to Northern Ireland since nineteen
fifty one and all the expectations and everything, it just
overtook him. So I also have this sense, John Patrick,
that Rory McElroy is self protecting and that he's he
has deliberately distanced himself from well everything, and it's it's

(30:34):
all a build up going into Port Rush that when
he gets the Royal Port Rush and on those grounds,
I have a strong feeling that he's going to come
in with a different mentality, of more settled mentality, because
how did John Lennon put it, He's no longer on
the you know what's that song? He says, I'm just
sitting here watching the wheels go around the mountain, watching

(30:56):
and talking about It's just yeah, he's just not on
that carousel right now. Uh So it's it's he's actually
my pick if you if you were to ask me
who I think is going to win the Open, I
think it's going to be Rory McElroy. One because I
think there's a revenge factor of what happened next time too,
because I think he's got nothing to lose. He's playing
with house money. And three because I think that the
way that he's approached himself right now, he's built up

(31:17):
these emotional walls.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know you you mentioned the coverage a couple of times.
I know it's inside baseball, but I want to spend
a minute or two on the coverage. There is a
different tone and different tenor to the announcers over there
compared to what we hear week after week on our tours.
You work with him, Matt, Is that conscious or is
that organic?

Speaker 15 (31:41):
No, it's organic.

Speaker 10 (31:42):
The because I broadcast on both sides, I can tell
you that on the state side, it's it's it's far
more I would call it clinical in terms of how
a broadcast is approached, whereas on this side, because because
when I broadcast in Europe, it's not a US broadcasts.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
I actually worked.

Speaker 10 (32:03):
For the European Tour. They still call European Tour productions
in the RNA, So I'm one of the few voices
outside of the UK or Ireland, and it's more of
a conversation and it's more. There isn't there isn't the concern.
American media is very guarded in terms of they want

(32:26):
to make sure that everything goes perfectly for fear that
that you know, some website or or some self appointed
expert on social media will criticize this and that, where
on this side they just don't get worried about that stuff.
And I remember one day we were at this was
twenty thirteen. We're at Mirfield with the A four mentioned Gordy,

(32:49):
and we were on the first hole, and I remember
Hedeki Matsuyama was about the t off and the and
the other broadcaster is openingly trying Gordy to say the name. Hey,
come on, Gordy, you say it. So I say it,
and of course he butchered it. He couldn't he couldn't
see it was. It was horrific.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
He butchered the name.

Speaker 10 (33:10):
He was the guy that called from s Kopka Brooks
Cupcake on the air, and I'm working with him, and
I'm doing exactly what I'm doing now. I just I
just burst out laughing, you know. It just it's And
So I think that this is one of the things
I feel about radio too, which i'd be curious about
your opinion on, because I do both.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
Now.

Speaker 10 (33:32):
I actually feel like radio is more of a conversation
with and I feel like television is more talking at
and and if I had to break down the difference
between broadcasting golf events, in Europe and broadcasting golf events
in America. Is that in Europe it's the conversation, and

(33:52):
we get it right, and we don't get it right.
And if we say it's going to break right and
it breaks left, everybody in the broadcast to be like, boy,
you read that paradly, then that it was completely opposite,
and you laugh it off and you move on. But
that's the same thing we'd be doing if we were
playing golf together, or if we were having dinner someplace
in it, you know, a beverage or whatever. To me,
that's that's more reflective of the currents of life. That's

(34:13):
why it feels more like the conversation.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Matt, thank you, thank you for doing this. I deeply
appreciate it. Have a great time the rest of the trip,
have a great time next week. Thanks for taking the
time to do this.

Speaker 10 (34:25):

How are you, Nick, I'm doing great, John, Thanks thanks
for having me.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Thank you for saying yes to this. Did you did
you have any idea this sort of number was coming up?

Speaker 5 (41:13):
A few people had reminded me recently, but I was
not aware that, you know, I wasn't. I wasn't counting
him down or anything, But.

Speaker 4 (41:25):
Yeah I was. I was.

Speaker 5 (41:26):
I guess I was loosely aware of it.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
I mean, it does speak to longevity, it does speak
to stability. I mean, what's it mean to you?

Speaker 5 (41:35):
Uh, you know, I don't know. I'm still trying to
figure that out. Yeah, I guess it means you're getting
You're you're definitely getting older, for one thing. But yeah,
it's I think, Uh, I guess it's I guess it
means that I love golf and I enjoy I really
enjoy having it be my job, and I hope I

(41:59):
get to play in a few more events.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
What do you remember about the first one, the two
thousand and three Kemper Open.

Speaker 5 (42:10):
I remember a lot.

Speaker 10 (42:11):
Actually.

Speaker 5 (42:12):
I remember on the I was kind of trying to
I was trying to take it in stride and be
you know, treated as any other golf tournament. And then.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
I definitely remember on the.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
First t I t off last, and I when I
put my.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
Ball on the ground and walked behind the ball.

Speaker 5 (42:29):
It's kind of like I remember having a flash in
my head of I'm living out to dream right now
to play I'm playing in a PGA Tour event. I'm
not sure if that was if that was best case
to have that thought then, but but something that's kind
of kind of stuck with me and been you know,

(42:50):
made this kind of a resurfaced.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
In my thoughts this week.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
What did you make on the whole?

Speaker 4 (42:58):
I made a three parted for Bogie.

Speaker 5 (43:00):
Unfortunately, Uh, not the best start.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
No, but I'm not making fun of you. I'm just
so fascinated by us, Nick, those of us that play golf.
I'm asking you about a hole you played twenty three
years ago and you were I three putted.

Speaker 5 (43:14):
You remember, yeah, it was Uh, I don't know. I
don't I don't know why I wish I didn't remember
that one. I think, you know, I've heard stories Jack
Nicholas never three put in his life, but unfortunately that
one sticks sticks in there.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
All right? What what do you What do you know
now that you wish you knew then?

Speaker 5 (43:40):
Gosh, I guess, uh, especially especially today when I'm kind
of talking about a little bit I think.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
I have.

Speaker 5 (43:52):
It seems that golf. Golf can wear you down sometimes,
and I think I would I would like to be
grateful more often, just for the opportunity and the blessing
it is to play play a game for a living.
See some amazing places. And I think sometimes that you know, tenth,

(44:18):
tenth week, eighth week out of ten or something like that,
I can get a bit a bit grouchy. But I
think on days like days of reflection and all that stuff,
it's I would like to slow down a little bit
and be appreciative.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Let me ask you a couple of questions. You mentioned
traveling and going different places. Tell me, tell me some
of the courses that you love out there.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
Well, I love I love Pebble Beach, I love Cyper's Point.
I'm from not about three hours drive from there, have
a really good friend that lives there, and every time
I get to play those those courses, it's just, I
don't know, it's very special. I love Augusta National. I

(45:05):
think that the place has an incredible aura about it,
never ever gets old. I love the old course. It's
the home of golf and all the history that's happened there.
I love Davis Davis Municipal Golf Course, that's where I

(45:25):
grew up, and just some amazing people and and golfers,
you know, true golfers that there when the sun comes up.
And yeah, I think those those are the first that
come to mind.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
We're talking with Nick Watney here on the Augusta Golf Show.
You mentioned Cypress. I've had the pleasure and many people
have not, But many people will see it, maybe for
the first time at the Walker Cup in a couple
of months. For those who've never seen it, explain.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
Cypress, oh Man.

Speaker 5 (46:04):
Cyprus to me. I definitely, I definitely remember being being
that person.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
Who I grew.

Speaker 5 (46:14):
You know, when I first started playing golf, I would
go to I watched the at and T and uh
in person and drive past it. Never got to play it,
but drove by a few of the holes and uh
So then when you get out there, it's almost like
I feel like an impostor or that that's snuck on
because I imagined it so many times. I think it's

(46:36):
just the beauty, the serenity of being there, being on
the at first year in the forest, it's just incredible.
And then obviously you make your way out to the
coastline and it's a I feel like it's a cathedral
of just it's an amazing place. There's the story, the

(47:00):
uh the the stories of each holls, where where the
tees were going to be, and who's done what, and
the caddies and the members. It's just an incredible place.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
You know. I love it and and and I would
love to go back there. But I but I'd love
to see the reaction of almost every recreational golfer when
they step on that first tee and that hedge, and
that hedge is in front of them. What is that?
What is that doing there?

Speaker 5 (47:27):
Yeah? Uh, well, I guess you know the I guess
they want the hedge there rather than the road because
you're hitting right over the road.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
True.

Speaker 5 (47:35):
True, but yeah, very very special place.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
You mentioned playing here, and and you and every I
looked up and maybe I missed a couple, but it
seemed like you made every cut that you played here.
Tell me about your experiences playing in the Masters.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (47:57):
Playing in the Masters was like, uh, it was literally
a dream. The first time I ever played Augusta. As
I think most people know, once you get your invitation,
you're You're able to play practice rounds before the tournament,
before the tournament week even and I had an outing

(48:19):
there and and arranged to I had an outing in
Augusta and arranged to play in November. So I'm lucky
enough to know a couple of members that I played
with in the morning and I had a fight out
the next day. They were they were leaving that afternoon,
so they asked me JJ in the shop, what are

(48:44):
you going to do this afternoon? I said, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
I hadn't really thought of it.

Speaker 5 (48:48):
You know, I was so excited to play this morning
and have lunch with these guys, and I hadn't really
thought of it and he said to me, well, the
the golf course of yours if you want, we have
nobody else going out, So whatever you want to do,
you want to practice or you want to And I
ended up playing another round there. I was the only

(49:10):
person on the golf course played that afternoon, and it
was I really, I really just was in a state
of all the whole time being on Augusta, Nashal by
myself and you know, going to certain spots of where

(49:30):
guys have hit shots, and the caddies were telling me
about putts and it was absolutely incredible. Some I'll never forget,
but playing in the Masters was such a huge honor,
something that I got up for, and it also extended
to my family because you know, my wife, this will

(49:51):
be my five hundred start. I think my wife's spended
a lot of those events. I don't know the exact number,
but we'll call it three hundred tournaments. And uh, every
year we go to Augusta and she would pause, I'll stay,
this one, this one feels different. This one's something about
this place is different than I mean, you know then

(50:15):
than a normal, normal event. So Masters is something that
I look forward to every year and and I would
love to play again.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
God willis so about that? Nick? What's your status out
there now?

Speaker 5 (50:29):
I'm playing in the past champions category this year, so
I don't I don't have full status, but you know,
call it I don't know, naivete or or or something.
I think. I think I have good golf left in me.
So I'm really excited to play. And uh, I guess

(50:53):
I guess who knows?

Speaker 1 (50:55):
He is?

Speaker 2 (50:56):

game of golf is so important and so meaningful in
their life. This morning, she is on the Call on

I love the game because of the unattainable search for perfection.
There's always something to work on, always something to get
better for life. It's a game that I hope someday
to play, you know, with my husband and our children.
And it's just the game has given me so much

(55:26):
in life, and I'm so thankful to have been given
a club in my hands at eight years old by
my grandfather.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
That is Morgan Pressel, who's on Golf Channel right now
