Yeah, you know, just guess it's going to go out
8
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:31.600
there and try to swing it and ding it.

He's a competitive golfer, former state champion, equipment tester, content creator,

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.320
and they aren't afraid to ruffle a few feathers along
18
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.079
the way. Here to spill every dirty secret. Bennett, welcome
19
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:07.920
to swing it and ding it.
20
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:10.760
Thanks, guys, I don't know about every dirty secret, but
21
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.840
I'm going I'm gonna try and give you what I
22
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:13.359
can here.
23
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.480
I love it well, thank you so much for joining us.
24
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.040
Would love to just kind of kind of start with
25
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:21.640
the with the golf journey, right, talk about how you
26
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.640
got into the game of golf and how it has
27
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:26.400
taken you to where you are now.
28
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.959
I think the origin story can be pretty similar to
29
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.719
everybody else. My dad would pick me up from school
30
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.079
and drop me off at the club, and that's that's
31
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.760
what I knew from about age three, and.
32
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:39.840
I loved it.
33
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.000
I did, and I think I would also have a
34
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.480
similar story to a lot of people, where people who
35
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.920
grew up playing excessively also kind of had a time
36
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.599
where they fell out of love with the game. I
37
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.239
had some d one scholarships that were available to me
38
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.159
after some really excellent coaches have led me down some great.
39
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.760
Paths and ended up turning them down.
40
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:07.439
I stepped away from golf for almost almost six years.
41
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.479
So but the thing that I try to tell everybody
42
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.199
is if I had not taken that time away, I
43
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:14.840
truly don't think that I would be in the position
44
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.960
that I'm in now, and I would have never been
45
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.199
able to not only meet the people and have the
46
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.080
unique experience for me, but I wouldn't have been able
47
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.800
to impact nearly as many golfers. Not that just I'm doing,
48
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.800
but I'm part of a team that gets to quite
49
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.280
literally speak to millions and millions of golfers every single day.
50
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.080
So that's what I'm all about now. And uh, I
51
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.199
don't I don't play nearly as much as I should.
52
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:40.599
But uh, when.
53
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.319
People ask me to play on the weekends, it's you know,
54
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.599
it's my it's my every day, so I get it.
55
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.400
I get it. Every day, the guys and I will
56
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.319
hit into the simulator base, probably more than we would
57
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:54.159
like to admit to our boss. But so, uh but yeah,
58
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.199
exactly please. But yeah, here I am. And uh, like
59
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.680
I was telling the guys before we started, this is
60
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.639
my almost seventh year at my golf spy, So wow,
61
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.319
I've seen a lot of change, not just at the
62
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.840
company but the industry. I mean even just since COVID,
63
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.280
right yeah, oh yeah, so.
64
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.319
Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna ask you maybe
65
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.240
you were one of the people who had a little
66
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.159
something to do with this, but it was probably about
67
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.240
five years before you got there. I just made my
68
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.639
husband dig in my garage. Look at this. The bottom
69
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.400
has the my golfs By logo on it. And what
70
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.759
I literally ten or twelve years ago, I was just like,
71
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.319
I got an email. I was like looking for testers
72
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.560
or something. I'm like sure, and then all of a sudden,
73
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.840
they're like, you won, and it showed up on my
74
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.240
door and I was like, oh, it's great because it
75
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.759
looks like a d Obviously this was the beginning of
76
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.960
my golf journey. And yeah, but do you see the logo?
77
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:46.759
I do.
78
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.159
Let me be very clear, I've never seen this before.
79
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.360
I go, you've never seen that product never?
80
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.759
Well, yes, but I've never seen I've never seen her.
81
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:00.879
Yeah, And I was selected and I this was my
82
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.879
other than like hand me downs from my grandfather or
83
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.639
my husband. This was my first actual putter, and I
84
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.080
just thought the straightest thing, unbelievable.
85
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.080
We get Dictate out of the garage, get that up
86
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:13.599
on the wall.
87
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.600
Well, if you saw my garage, it's like it's not
88
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.800
like a brad Fax and garage, but it's.
89
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.759
Like a pretty love Yeah, I love Yeah, But I
90
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.959
had you gotta send me a picture of that.
91
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.199
Oh for sure, for sure. I got to.
92
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:30.279
Pass that around the group chat.
93
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.120
I know Adam Beach, our our owner, was a Putter
94
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.759
designer for many years, so Putters were I want to
95
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:42.560
I don't want to see his first Oh he's got
96
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.759
more than he knows what to do with the amount
97
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.839
of times we've had to clean out the just the
98
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.399
one storage unit that he has. Yeah, you want to
99
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.920
talk about insane, but that's crazy.
100
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:54.560
Definitely said that.
101
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.120
I know I had a I had to pull it out.
102
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.199
But you said talking about like storage units you to
103
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.720
clean out. I remember we went to yes Berkarnavc's house
104
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.879
and his garage, I mean had triple the size of
105
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.720
brad Backs. What does your look like being in the
106
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.959
industry you're in, You know, I try.
107
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:18.079
To turnover prettily pretty quickly, and honestly, it's it's tough
108
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.160
being in the position I'm at when I was competing.
109
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.199
This is crazy saying this, right, but the guys know it.
110
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.639
Like I am not a tinkerer, everyone thinks, and I almost.
111
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:30.920
And I would like to think.
112
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.639
That right, Like you have these these dueling arguments, Oh
113
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.680
it's Indian not the Arrow and all these things. And
114
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.639
I mean, obviously where I work, my mind has been
115
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.399
expanded to two different corners of the golf world. I've
116
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.399
never even imagined, right, But when I was competing, I
117
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.399
went for one fitting. I had the bag and that
118
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.000
was it, and I was playing well. I mean, not
119
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.680
to toot my own horn, but I was doing well.
120
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.720
So the turnovers of the bags, it's not even close
121
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.040
to what some of the people I encounter. I'm pretty
122
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.959
good at keeping. I mean, I won't lie, I've got
123
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.439
like three bags worth of stuff, but I mean some
124
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.800
of the guys I work with, they've got like ten
125
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:20.839
eleven shelves worth. Okay, yeas, and it's it's unbelievable. But yeah,
126
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.079
I'm I'm pretty tried and true. Once I find something
127
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.199
I like. I have a few sentimental things from my
128
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.920
dad and other class downs, but I'm I keep things
129
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.000
for sentimental reasons more to more than tinkering reasons.
130
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:38.160
So but there's there's no there's no big.
131
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.639
Putter wall in my house or not, believe it or not.
132
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.639
But I get to I get to enjoy that when
133
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:44.199
I'm at work.
134
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.199
Well, Bennett, at work, you do a job that many
135
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.279
of the people listening to this or that will listen
136
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.199
to this. It's like a dream job. I mean, you're
137
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:56.560
you're constantly around golf, You're you're using different equipment, you're
138
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.079
testing it out. You you get to play, play with
139
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.160
all the stuff, like like golfers love stuff, you know,
140
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.560
they love year, they love equipment. How did you find
141
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.360
my golf spire or how did they find you?
142
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:09.519
Like?
143
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.319
What do you send a resume? How'd you get the job? Oh?
144
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.120
My god, resumes. If I could have told you, my
145
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.920
resume pretty much got ripped up in my.
146
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:24.319
Face, and not in a bad way. Adam does not care.
147
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:29.040
About resumes, point blank period. I would say that our team,
148
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.959
and I think a lot of them would agree, we
149
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.680
are a band of misfits, but we're passionate or talented,
150
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:41.759
and we're gonna be gritty until the very end. I had.
151
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.720
I had taken a leap after college. I was working
152
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.759
for an events company and during COVID it got shut
153
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.759
down obvious for obvious reasons. I moved down to kind
154
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:58.519
of the Yorktown Triangle area, and uh, I.
155
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:58.720
Was starting to pick up the game again.
156
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.240
I was starting to get comfortable with playing again on
157
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.040
the weekends and enjoying golf for really what I wanted
158
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.040
to have it be the relationship, right with the game
159
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.240
and my boyfriend at the time. He was a huge
160
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.439
fan of my golf spine and obviously growing up in
161
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.600
the game, I had heard about this. I knew who
162
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.439
my golf spy was. Nowhere near did I believe that
163
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.319
they were going to be in a small town called Yorktown, Virginia.
164
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:26.000
Wow.
165
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:31.040
I emailed Adam and I said, hey, did not tell
166
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:32.559
him who I was, did not tell him I was
167
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.679
a golfer, nothing. This was all about the man at
168
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.200
the time, and said, hey, can I bring in my boyfriend.
169
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.240
I really want to give him like a fun fitting,
170
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:41.960
like you guys can hang out with him.
171
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.039
He's gonna love it, like he's a big fan.
172
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:51.360
Adam literally goes open door policy, come on in whenever.
173
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:58.159
Wow, okay, awesome, no frills. Love to hear it.
174
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.320
Bring him in. They start hanging out with you know,
175
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.679
the man balloons. I'm being dramatic about it. Of course,
176
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.759
I'm doing all the things and these you know, they're
177
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:12.600
all kind of looking like, okay, we don't really know
178
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:13.200
what's going on.
179
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:14.519
I didn't really get the vibe.
180
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.039
And Adam hands me a seven iron because there were
181
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:18.919
two bays at the time.
182
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:19.960
We were at our old.
183
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:24.080
Facility, and he, you know, nonchalantly, was like, you know,
184
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.519
while we spend time with him, here's a club, Like
185
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:26.919
if you.
186
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.240
Want to hit balls, I guess.
187
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.799
So I start whacking golf balls and he came over
188
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:34.240
to me and he goes, so, who are you? And
189
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.279
I was like so at the time, I was kind
190
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:41.559
of in between jobs and looking for something really good
191
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.360
to sink my teeth into after college and the events,
192
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:49.639
and I ended up being a club tester. I was
193
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.919
part of a very small pool of women who were
194
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.399
interested in doing this. I come to find out there
195
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.600
was over two hundred and three hundred pool testers in
196
00:09:59.639 --> 00:09:59.960
the area.
197
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.159
Yeah, so a lot bigger than I thought.
198
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.000
I mean, this garage, God bless it, at the time
199
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:08.200
was no bigger than a two car garage.
200
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:08.799
Wow.
201
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.279
And you know, from starting in two thousand and eight,
202
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:16.840
Adam had had a previous, very successful golf business before.
203
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.080
But to think that they were reaching eighteen million readers
204
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.200
out of a small garage in New Yorktown, Virginia was crazy,
205
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.519
really unfathomable to me because I was like, Okay, yeah,
206
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.879
you guys do this, but we're sitting in a garage,
207
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.559
like what do you mean? And I took a chance,
208
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.720
and I remember the day that I was sitting out
209
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.320
in the parking lot. It was kind of the weird
210
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.120
end of COVID where we didn't want to be masked
211
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.320
up or anything like that. So We're outside kind of
212
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.360
chit chatting, and I'm panicking. I'm like, I got to
213
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.039
give this guy my resume, all these things that I've done,
214
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.440
basically crumpled it up, and I said, look, I want
215
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.120
to run your media. He goes, Kid, you don't know
216
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.480
what you're doing. You're absolutely right, but I'm going to
217
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.799
sink my teeth into this. I said, I'm going to
218
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.720
work for you for free for two weeks. I don't
219
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.840
need any pay nothing. I was there for ten, twelve, thirteen,
220
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.240
fourteen hours a day just helping with testing, and Adam
221
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.480
taught me from soup to nuts everything I knew about
222
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:23.000
social media. And that's why at the very beginning when
223
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.480
I started my job, I learned to mouth off a
224
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:25.879
little bit.
225
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.840
As I'm sure a few people do.
226
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:31.080
Remember, I've gotten a little bit more refined, let's hope,
227
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.399
over the last seven years.
228
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:34.480
But yeah, Adam.
229
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.000
Adam was a huge integral part and the entire my
230
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.559
golf my team was a huge integral part of where
231
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.279
I even got my start in media, and I wouldn't
232
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:43.240
have it any other way.
233
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.399
So yeah, yeah, I survived the two free weeks.
234
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.559
Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful. Well, someone who's you know, I've
235
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.200
worked in media my whole life, and I think you
236
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:59.279
have one of the best deliveries in media, in social media,
237
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.840
and how you kind of come up with what you're
238
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.759
what you're doing and deliver it in a way that
239
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.440
it has a little suspense to it, It has intrigued
240
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:07.879
to it, Like the way that you lay it out
241
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.600
is just it's fascinating. When you asked before, why why
242
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:12.000
do we ask you to have you on? That's why,
243
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.440
because it's like I think, I think you're awesome at
244
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:16.679
what you do, so we really appreciate you coming on.
245
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.639
But talk to us about that, right you talk about
246
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:21.600
you're not afraid to say what you're going to say.
247
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.679
What's something that sticks out to you from a manufacturer level,
248
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.559
maybe maybe someone who was a little angry or do
249
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.879
you ever feel kind of pressure from the manufacturers after
250
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.559
being so big now that you could really sway you know,
251
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:36.000
market share for these folks.
252
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.200
Oh? Absolutely, I mean we call it them my golf
253
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.720
Spy effect, which has definitely been proven to be true
254
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:46.159
time over time, selling out Costco multiple times for the
255
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.879
original Kirkland ball, and having a particular manufacturer having to
256
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.759
invest fifty million plus dollars in there r indeed to
257
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:55.759
make right on a golf ball they knew they shouldn't
258
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.639
have been making in the first place, which was you know,
259
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.480
we say this the industry has has most definitely improved,
260
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:04.919
especially since.
261
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.320
Adam first started out so many years ago.
262
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.240
Even before he had the concept of what My Golf
263
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:14.480
Spy was going to be, he knew something had to change.
264
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.639
Will will I say that there is still some contention,
265
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:23.720
of course, will I say that we will ever change?
266
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:27.000
No, that's that's a no go.
267
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:31.039
Uh. We will always stand on the mission of golfer first,
268
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.440
and that that does tend to rub some people the
269
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:38.639
wrong way. But the thing about it is you have
270
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.240
to understand and this took me a while to get it,
271
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.360
to wrap my brain around it. These people who work
272
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:48.360
for the manufacturing companies in particular, they've spent this is
273
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.639
their life's work. You know, someone says something about my
274
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:55.080
golf s fly to me, you better believe I'm going
275
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:58.919
to go after them. If the first two sentences of
276
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.639
an article don't tickle somebody's fancy about the driver that
277
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:07.120
they have ruled over day and night and lost sleepover
278
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:10.399
for the last five ten years, I would probably have
279
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.519
the same reaction. Yeah, so I get it.
280
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:16.159
People talk bad about Harry all the time and I
281
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.919
constantly it's non stop.
282
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:23.960
It's a blood bond, you know, it's a blood.
283
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.919
Adam and the rest of the crew.
284
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:31.840
Adam and Tony have seen lawsuits more.
285
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:32.919
Than they've been able to count.
286
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:40.799
I think at one point they were starting to frame them. Yeah. Yeah,
287
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:47.399
but it's it's through that that they learned. It's Uh,
288
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:51.200
there's an incredible amount of respect that is now flowing
289
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:55.519
between what we do and what they do. And ultimately,
290
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.360
our mission is golfer first, and we just truly believe
291
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:02.440
that anybody the golf industry, no matter if you're doing
292
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.559
a podcast, or you're making golf clubs or you're running
293
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.200
a golf course, we think it should be the primary
294
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:11.600
focus is the golfer. And I think over the years
295
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.559
of us proving exactly what we're doing and how we're
296
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:18.360
doing it, and the methods that were so dedicated to perfecting.
297
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:21.679
I think now people are starting to understand from a
298
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:26.120
manufacturer perspective, we're not working against them. We're trying to
299
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:29.080
make them better ultimately to serve the person who.
300
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:35.559
Is considerable, Yeah, signing their paycheck, you know, for lesser words,
301
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:42.279
so that not as many lawsuits now for sure, but
302
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.799
well but we'll never change, that's for sure, which is.
303
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.039
Great and refreshing to hear that. You know, it's a
304
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.720
source that is golfer first. I know there's so many
305
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.240
listeners that if this was live then they could call in,
306
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.919
would have a billion questions or you might say, you know,
307
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.000
what is the best club? What is the best ball club?
308
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:01.360
That's right, But just kind of take us through like
309
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.000
your day to day or just maybe even a general
310
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:06.720
week on how much testing you do, like how many
311
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.759
products you get your hands on. You have some highlights.
312
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.960
So we just wrapped up the twenty twenty six testing
313
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.879
season and already we're thinking about.
314
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.399
Twenty twenty seven.
315
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.879
Of course, the cool part about it is we get
316
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.840
to see those products months and months in advanced obviously
317
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:22.200
within bargoes and things like that.
318
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.879
I would love to tell you what's coming.
319
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:28.799
In January, but obviously we're still getting details, but those
320
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:32.960
brown boxes start showing up in I would say early
321
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:39.559
is November, and our FedEx God bless our FedEx delivery guy.
322
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.679
Bless are ups man women.
323
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:44.480
Oh my lord, have mercy.
324
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.320
If we could throw a whole party for all the
325
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.039
delivery people who are in there all day every day.
326
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.759
We actually thought about doing like a FedEx delivery series
327
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.039
there for a little bit because we've got to know
328
00:16:55.080 --> 00:17:00.960
them so well. But day to day it is you
329
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:05.400
walk in and now we have four bays, so what
330
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:09.079
once was a small garage is now a little bit bigger.
331
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.359
We have four bays that was built out by indoor
332
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:16.880
golf shop and it is constant all day every day.
333
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:17.559
And if you.
334
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:21.039
Think that any golf nut wants to hear something, it's
335
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.880
going to be the strike of a golf ball all day.
336
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:24.519
It's almost like.
337
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:28.839
A low hum, if you will. There's constant testing going on.
338
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:34.960
So we'll overlap between irons, wedges, drivers is our longest test,
339
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.880
so that takes about a month, objectively, the loudest test
340
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:42.519
we do. So that'll start in about December, and things
341
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:46.119
get crazy before then. We're traveling back and forth coast
342
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.440
to coast, heading out to manufacturers, getting a low down
343
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:53.920
about what to expect in the upcoming season, kind of
344
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:56.920
getting into the nitty gritty in the boardroom, asking a
345
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.480
lot of hard questions, getting a lot of even harder answers,
346
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.920
and uh, kind of really getting getting to go behind
347
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.279
the veil. I think that's that's my favorite part, is
348
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:09.960
not only having those relationships with the people in the
349
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:14.720
big brains behind what we're actually testing, but seeing.
350
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:15.359
It in real life.
351
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.400
I think that if I could say, I know, you know,
352
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:20.799
you're mentioning that this is people's dream job, I don't
353
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.880
take that for granted at all, That that that that
354
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.200
is not missed by me at all, being able to
355
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.359
see what I see, shake the hands that I do,
356
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:34.279
and understand, really, this isn't just a driver, this isn't
357
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.720
just a ball. This is something that's either going to
358
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.480
make a movement or it's not, and we're going to
359
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:46.240
find out why. So day to day, yeah, it's constant testing.
360
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:50.000
The guys are in there grinding. I have an incredibly
361
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:53.640
wonderful media team that works with me. We're constantly digging
362
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:58.200
through our incredible writer's work that is published every single day.
363
00:18:58.480 --> 00:18:59.480
We're digging through.
364
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:03.799
Texts and we're trying to find out what can we
365
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.799
do to make four hundred level content data.
366
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:09.880
It's a lot.
367
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:15.559
I mean, I'm no mathematician at all, but the biggest
368
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:17.440
part for us is to be able to take that
369
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.839
four hundred level content and get it into that one
370
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:23.279
oh one. Let people know that they have a place
371
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.039
at my golf spy. It's not just for the gearhead.
372
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:28.839
It's not just for the person who's looking to tinker
373
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:32.200
with their putter the ninety seventh time after their one
374
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:33.640
bad round last weekend.
375
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:33.920
You know what I mean.
376
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:38.519
So it's a lot of it's a lot of brainstorming.
377
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:44.359
It's a lot of creative kind of war room every
378
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:48.400
day because it's if we were to present it in
379
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.960
the way where it would just be graphs and numbers
380
00:19:53.839 --> 00:20:01.079
and nitty gritty, now it's useful, it would and the
381
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:03.519
work that the work that our data crew does and
382
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.279
that Tony does, and we'll get into the ball tool
383
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:07.440
a little bit later, I hope.
384
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:09.720
Yeah, yeah, Oh.
385
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:12.559
My god, I can't even describe to you, but yeah,
386
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:14.799
it's a it's a warm room every single day. We're
387
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:17.799
we're fighting battles online in a in a good way.
388
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.559
I think, yeah, but it's the hardest job you'll ever love.
389
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.480
That's exactly what I tell And I believe that was
390
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:31.240
a slogan for the Peace Corps at one time. That's right,
391
00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:32.039
That's right.
392
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:32.680
Wow.
393
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.079
Well, I mean, given the fact that you know, this
394
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:39.279
isn't opinion, this is your stuff is based on like science,
395
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:42.880
you know, like when you evaluate balls and clubs and
396
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.519
everything like that. That's why their lawyers involved, because it's
397
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.519
not just it's not says me, Moose and Danielle coming
398
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:50.920
on and saying, hey, this ball is the best. It's
399
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:55.240
based on on actual like science. So how like over
400
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:59.200
the years that you've been there, how has it changed
401
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.039
when you go meet the manufacturers, like to see their
402
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:05.440
new stuff and how they treat have treated you guys.
403
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:09.480
That had to be like a metamorphosis in a way,
404
00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:11.599
you know, in a weird way, you know what I mean,
405
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.039
Like the tickets in the inside.
406
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.400
That yeah, I'm I'm lucky enough to wear I've usually
407
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:20.599
always gotten the tinge of sweetness. I think I hit
408
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:22.359
it right at the right time where they were just
409
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.160
starting to be real nice. I've had my run ins,
410
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:28.680
for sure, but you know, it's always been amicably dealt
411
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:32.400
with at the very beginning. For Adam. I remember, he
412
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.160
tells the story all the time. His first PGA show.
413
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:41.799
He was dressed up like a spy. He had the Fedora,
414
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.039
he had the Italian shoes, which, by the way, if
415
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.799
anyone's been to the PGA show, it's a million square feet.
416
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:51.480
Oh yeah, you imagine with wooden sold shoes.
417
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:52.799
Thank you.
418
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:55.160
A really smart man. That was not one of his
419
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:55.920
smarter moves.
420
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:00.920
He found the you know, personal phone number of all
421
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.400
the manufacturers' CEOs at the time he's calling, he's in
422
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:08.000
the booths. At that point in time, he was you know,
423
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.960
he was really kind of pushing some boundaries that the
424
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:16.079
golf industry was not thrilled with, right And it's because
425
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:17.759
at that time they they had a lot more to
426
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:23.119
hide than they do now. He was forcibly removed from
427
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:30.480
some PGA show booths just for being there existing. But
428
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.480
I can say with confidence that that is not the
429
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:33.160
case anymore.
430
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:33.400
So.
431
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.279
Even when I first started, like I said, I was,
432
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:39.799
I was born and raised into the my golf spy
433
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:44.400
era for of a little bit rough around the edges,
434
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.720
and when I stepped into that role, I was obviously
435
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.279
younger people were.
436
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:50.960
Not a fan, and that's okay.
437
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:54.039
The people who were not a fan, I can say again,
438
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:57.160
we have some pretty mutual respect to flowing in between
439
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.759
us now and the lawsuits aren't aren't coming through the
440
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:03.559
mail as much. But it's been great. I would love,
441
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:06.640
like I said, I love heading out to California. You know,
442
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:09.480
we've we have some really incredible experiences being able to
443
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:13.079
I've been fit at TPI multiple times. Those guys are
444
00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:16.160
experience Again that does not you know, get past me
445
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.759
that that's once in a lifetime. Been able to work
446
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.359
with some incredible people at Tailor Made from the PR
447
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.279
side and also the R and D side, Callaway, you
448
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:32.000
name it. You know, it's really been humbling to see
449
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:36.599
the amount of passion that goes into these works of art.
450
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.880
I would say, I don't I don't take it lightly
451
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:43.400
that this is it's truly a time investment. It's a
452
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:48.240
passion investment, and we'll be will be the one to
453
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.519
test if it's gonna work it work out in their favors. So,
454
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.480
but yeah, trips out to California, dealing with manufacturers, I
455
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.400
wouldn't even say dealing, shaking hands and learning from each other.
456
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:06.079
The amount of work that's gone into the the data
457
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:09.920
collection a loan is unspeakable.
458
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:11.160
Truly.
459
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:17.440
The the algorithm that has been built for my golf Spy,
460
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:19.720
by my golf Spy is.
461
00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:22.759
One industry unmatched.
462
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:29.039
It is forever never paid for, forever, never paid for,
463
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:31.279
from beginning to end.
464
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:32.640
That is facts.
465
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.920
There will never be any influence. And the amount of.
466
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.000
That's right share effort and industry research.
467
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:47.599
I mean, Adam and TONI flew across the country multiple times.
468
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.920
They're talking to people that are still in the industry,
469
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:54.960
aren't in the industry. We're in the industry so long
470
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.119
they are no longer with us. This has been years,
471
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:04.880
if leapless nights. And the manufacturers, I would say, do
472
00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:08.400
have a pretty high revered respect for what we do
473
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:14.559
and do rely on results to ultimately make their product better,
474
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:17.319
and we'll make sure they do.
475
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:17.839
So.
476
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:20.359
I love it. I love what we're obviously going to
477
00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:21.720
talk about the golf ball. But I have a couple
478
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:25.680
quick ones that I'm dying to ask you as what's
479
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:30.359
one golf equipment marketing claim that drives you crazy?
480
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:33.759
Oh my god, how do you pick just one?
481
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:36.880
They don't have to, you.
482
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.720
Know, it's crazy because I make videos about the longest
483
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:46.720
bawl in golf. I cannot stand it when a ball
484
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:51.799
company only relies on distance to be their number one
485
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:56.160
seller because they know it'll work. If if there's one
486
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:58.519
thing that I could say about the golf ball, it's
487
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:03.839
accuracy matters much more than what you're going to see
488
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:06.599
as far as length off the team, because if you're
489
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.400
ten yards longer, you could be ten yards longer in
490
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:13.799
the woods. Right. So, I think you know, you see
491
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:16.720
balls like the piss Missile, which.
492
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:18.119
I mean.
493
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:22.279
I would actually like to know are your listeners? Is
494
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:23.480
anyone here playing that?
495
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:24.319
I would love to know.
496
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:27.319
That was actually my nickname in college. But yeah, I
497
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:28.240
don't play that anymore.
498
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:29.279
That was for other reasons.
499
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.279
You see these balls, I mean they're not a lot
500
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:39.680
of them are non conforming, right, And ultimately, I truly
501
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:41.519
it drives me nuts because I'm like, you know, guys,
502
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:43.519
you could be spending that money. You don't have to
503
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:49.160
spend fifty sixty who remembers La golf at seventy five
504
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:55.960
dollars a dozen, but their their promise was the longest ball. Yeah,
505
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:57.519
I don't need you to play the longest ball. I
506
00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:59.960
need you to play the one that is fit for
507
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.119
your swing, and the one is that is going to
508
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:05.359
keep you in the fairway, and the one that's going
509
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:07.000
to pinch around the greens when you need it to.
510
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:09.240
Yeah, dispersion and spin.
511
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:14.680
That's right. So longest ball, I think, uh yeahs.
512
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.160
So are you taking loyal to your pro v one
513
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.440
X yeah? Or is that sleeper ball we don't know about?
514
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:23.240
Oh man?
515
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:23.799
Oh?
516
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:28.480
I again, I was out at TPI and I got
517
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:31.680
fit for that particular ball, so I know that it works. However,
518
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:35.480
if I'm if I'm out skirting around Dick's sporting goods
519
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:36.480
and I need to pick them up.
520
00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:38.119
For a round, you better believe it. I'm in the
521
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:38.599
Max Fly.
522
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:41.200
Yeah. I was gonna say Max Live. I was wondering
523
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:43.200
if I was like one of the most surprising over
524
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:44.200
the past couple of years.
525
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:45.759
Oh absolutely say that.
526
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.200
Max five was one of the most surprising stories in
527
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:49.359
the golf equipment world.
528
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:53.799
Max five, the rebrand of it really, oh yeah, God.
529
00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:57.720
In the nineties that was a big time ball.
530
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:04.440
Huge huge the rebrand was. I don't really think any
531
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:09.480
of us expected it to be honest, it is without
532
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:13.480
a doubt. I will say, don't pull up the data
533
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:16.039
on me because you know, obviously we just finished our
534
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:20.079
other our other testing. But I think I can pretty
535
00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:23.559
much say unequivocally it's the best ball for your cash.
536
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:27.519
The Maxified Tour lineup from a quality standpoint year to
537
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:31.720
year from the rebrand, We've seen nothing but success from
538
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:32.400
this golf ball.
539
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:32.920
Wow.
540
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:38.720
And at the price, I mean, yeah, you know so
541
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:45.440
if yeah, thirty five forty bucks and for being a
542
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:47.839
tour quality ball. I mean when Ben Griffin picked it up,
543
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:51.039
I wanted I wanted more people to care about it.
544
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:52.799
I wanted more people to care.
545
00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:57.119
Mortgage bankers alone, should all play it if they.
546
00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:58.680
Play golf exactly?
547
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:05.000
Uh yeah, we we kept saying underrated, underrated for so long,
548
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:07.759
and I don't I don't think we can say that anymore.
549
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:09.680
I'm hoping we can't say that anymore.
550
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:13.200
But yeah, if I'm if I'm not playing you know
551
00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:18.119
the prescription titleist left dash, then I'm gonna I'm gonna
552
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:19.400
max Flight tore X for sure.
553
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:22.799
And didn't Ben Griffin like, wasn't he just playing like
554
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:25.279
a box that you could pick up out of dicks?
555
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:25.359
Like?
556
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.160
I think he came out originally and was like, yeah,
557
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:30.200
there's no like pro level ball, there's no whatever. He's like,
558
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:31.519
I'm just you know.
559
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:32.559
He was he was playing.
560
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:35.920
He was playing some one to once, which was which
561
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:38.480
you don't see that. I mean, we do get that
562
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:40.480
question all the time. Everyone's like, oh, well.
563
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:45.960
It's my provir No sometimes most of the time, no,
564
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:49.720
but yeah, I mean we were we were stoked when
565
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:51.000
Ben picked up that ball.
566
00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:53.119
And then when he won with the ball, we were like, please,
567
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:55.200
can everyone get on the bandwagon now?
568
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:57.319
Exactly?
569
00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:00.960
Yeah, well let's let's stick with the ball, right. That
570
00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:04.799
was the biggest story recently, and it was wild just
571
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:08.279
to see how different, you know, a box of golf
572
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.519
balls could be from a dispersion love. I think it
573
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:13.400
was eye opening to so many people, like what the
574
00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:16.000
heck is going on? So we appreciate what you guys
575
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:17.680
do and how you dug in there, but just talk
576
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:20.599
about the reaction you guys have gotten from this latest
577
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:21.640
latest report.
578
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:25.359
It's been great. Like I said, being here seven years.
579
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:29.359
At the very beginning, golf ball testing was really uncomfortable
580
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:30.240
for a lot of people.
581
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:32.440
They didn't want to believe it. They didn't.
582
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:34.400
It was it was almost like, well, if I'm not
583
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:37.200
sitting there watching the week's long worth of test which
584
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:39.640
we did put a live cam up a couple of
585
00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:44.480
years ago, which proved to not be necessary, but it
586
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:46.799
wasn't comfortable for a lot of people. People didn't understand
587
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:49.000
they were you know, of course we get the accusations
588
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:51.880
of oh, this brand, you know, you know they're in
589
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:55.480
your pocket. Sure all these rankings come from this and that,
590
00:30:55.640 --> 00:31:01.160
and so it's been overwhelmingly positive this year, which has
591
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:05.559
been great because it means our messaging is working. It
592
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:08.279
means that people are starting to understand that it's not
593
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:10.720
you should not rely on the marketing that's on the
594
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:12.759
back of the box to say, you know what this
595
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:17.319
says that it's for ninety five mile per hour swing speed.
596
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:20.519
I think I need a soft golf ball because it
597
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:25.920
feels better and I'm on my way. So it's been
598
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:29.160
I will say it's been overwhelmingly positive. I being in
599
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:31.279
the media position, I have dealt with a lot of
600
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:37.039
comment warriors, which I appreciate that passion, but I have
601
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:39.880
a deal one with it as much in twenty twenty six,
602
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:40.640
which has been great.
603
00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:42.599
So it's sticking. It's working.
604
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.880
That's nice, that's good. Yeah, yeah, But.
605
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.839
Twenty yards difference from I'm going to lean on the
606
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:50.759
longest ball, even though I said that that's not really
607
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:55.400
my thing. But twenty yards difference from longest to shortest
608
00:31:55.640 --> 00:32:00.839
at the same swing speed. Wow, that's remarkable, right yeaheah,
609
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.480
yeah right, I mean we had let me good, go ahead,
610
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:05.960
go ahead.
611
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:07.319
I was just gonna say, it's.
612
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:12.160
A the SNeW PR four at number one for longest.
613
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:17.359
But again with the longest, it was not. It was
614
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:21.319
nearly dead last for dispersion. So that's why I harp.
615
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:22.119
On that longest ball.
616
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.519
Yeah, because I got a crown the longest this year
617
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:28.319
at one sixteen miles per hour off the driver. But
618
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:30.599
I can't give them a whole cake if they're not
619
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:32.759
going to do the quality of a dispersion.
620
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:36.000
So all right, I got I got one more for you,
621
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:39.319
because you know, players like me, who are you know,
622
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:44.000
shooting the eighties, not very good, but we love the game.
623
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.920
But we sit there and we and we see, you know,
624
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:49.599
we see the pros, you know everything. You know, the
625
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.759
ball really matters for the for the really good player,
626
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:58.359
for people like us, Does it really matter? Like can
627
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.200
a ball really make that much difference?
628
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:05.640
Emphatically? Yes, I'm so glad you asked this, This is
629
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:10.039
my favorite question. Would I have you out there playing
630
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:11.160
a range ball? No?
631
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:15.400
Do I think anybody should do that, no matter how
632
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:15.720
good you are.
633
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:16.079
I don't care.
634
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:18.000
If you're Tiger Woods. You should not be playing a rangeball.
635
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:20.279
You should never be fit with a rangeball. But that's
636
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:22.680
a whole other thing. That's that's my next business. I'm
637
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:28.200
going to be taking over a lot of the ranges emphatically. Yes,
638
00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:31.079
the golf ball matters no matter what. And I'll put
639
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:33.160
it to you very simply. I could get into the numbers,
640
00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:37.640
But if you are struggling with your game, why not
641
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.960
give yourself the best chance of shooting a lower score?
642
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:47.039
The best chance you can get of becoming a lifetime golfer,
643
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:51.599
right is hitting the fair way, then hitting your green,
644
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:56.200
and regulation you get your first birdie, and you shoot
645
00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:58.599
and you break you know, one hundred, then you break ninety,
646
00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:01.720
all these things. Why wouldn't you give yourself the best
647
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:06.000
chance of doing that? If you're going to play, you
648
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:10.039
better give yourself every weapon in the bag that you
649
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:14.840
can at your price point in order to reach one
650
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:18.119
of those goals as quickly as possible. So, yes, I
651
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:21.760
am a firm believer. Everyone at my golf buy is
652
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:26.760
a firm believer buy the best quality golf ball you
653
00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:31.079
can based on proven data at your price point, because
654
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:33.320
I understand, I mean, I get it. I mean, no
655
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:36.000
one wants to shell out sixty bucks a dozen when
656
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:39.000
they're starting out in college or when they're you know,
657
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:41.519
even a forty five. Your old dad is just picking
658
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:43.920
up the game for business purposes or whatever. I get it.
659
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:46.280
You feel like, oh, I'm gonna lose them anyway.
660
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:48.559
Yeah, I hear you hit the car path and get
661
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:50.159
the bruise on it and it's worthless.
662
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:52.760
Yeah, at that point in the water.
663
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:57.599
We're a big fan of k sig over here, the
664
00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:01.320
good old Kirkland signatures. If you are, if you were
665
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:04.440
really starting out and you're worried about you know, dropping
666
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:06.280
a lot of your cash that's going to end up
667
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:10.840
in the in the pond, just just hit your local costco.
668
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:14.639
It's the closest quality thing you can get for the
669
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:17.079
for a good price. But no, read first.
670
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:20.000
Yeah, kind of that where I was going to say,
671
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.599
so where do you where's it fall in line? Obviously
672
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:27.719
arrange ball the no, but if you hit one, you
673
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:29.480
know far left, do you go and you find some
674
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:33.679
you know right there? What did that? Because I feel
675
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:35.239
like a lot of our listeners, you know, they'll pick
676
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:39.039
a couple up when they're they're offline, they spread Yeah,
677
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:39.519
I know.
678
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:42.440
It, I know it, and it's it's so it's it's
679
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:44.039
funny because I used to do the same thing.
680
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:47.440
Right, you're a little left, you you walk out with
681
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:49.079
three extra if.
682
00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:52.280
You're yeah, I had a wicked slice, So you better
683
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:55.119
believe I was in the right side wood a lot
684
00:35:55.239 --> 00:36:00.440
growing up. But you know, we kind of back and
685
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:03.199
forth between this because both Adam and I, you know,
686
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:05.599
we grew up and that's those are the balls we
687
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:07.360
would stick in the bag, right, the ones you would
688
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:11.440
find woods, so we get Yeah. The thing about that, though,
689
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:15.159
is when we started cutting open golf balls, we found
690
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:17.599
that there were different reasons as to why they were
691
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:18.639
flying left and right.
692
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:19.840
So dramatically.
693
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:23.239
Do I know that the person who hit this ball
694
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:25.880
has a really wicked slice?
695
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:28.000
Is the core lopsided in this?
696
00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:31.400
Is it water log is it water loged?
697
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:32.880
How long has it been here?
698
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:38.119
I It's it's hard for me to say, don't pick
699
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:40.440
up the golf balls you find in the woods and
700
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:43.599
play with them, because again, it doesn't go over my
701
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:47.599
head that we've all done it. But again it goes
702
00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:49.639
back to that just give yourself the best chance you
703
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:51.840
can and uh and you know, play a ball out
704
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:55.519
of the box. But honestly, if you want to pick
705
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:57.880
them up from them in like a five gallon bucket
706
00:36:57.880 --> 00:36:59.599
when you get home, use them for chicken chip and
707
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:03.400
practice and yeah they fetch, Yeah, play fetch with your
708
00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:06.679
dog with them, keep them for extras. But I would
709
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:07.960
say probably not your best.
710
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:10.360
Bet to t you mop all right, I will This
711
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:12.760
will be my last question. Danielle has one more after this.
712
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:15.400
But if talking to our listeners, right, let's say they had,
713
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:18.400
you know, five hundred one thousand bucks and they wanted
714
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:20.559
to make a couple of improvements to their bag to
715
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:22.880
give themselves a chance. They're they're like us right there,
716
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:27.559
average golfers, based on your experience, what you've tested, where
717
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:30.719
would you kind of focus to make that improvement in
718
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:31.079
the bag?
719
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:38.360
The ball number one which you know, yeah, ball fitting
720
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:41.639
is incredibly difficult to find. That also does not get
721
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:43.880
missed by us. Start with our ball test. Let's go
722
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:44.320
with that.
723
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:45.039
Let's go with that.
724
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:48.159
First Golf Galaxy.
725
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:49.119
And PGA to our superstore.
726
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:53.000
They do a pretty good job for some agnostic ball
727
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:57.599
fitting situations. Okay, so let's start there. Definitely start with
728
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:01.519
your ball, I would have I would heavily focus on
729
00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:06.519
your irons. The reason I say that and I'm sure
730
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:08.679
a couple of people that I work with would argue
731
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:12.880
with me. I would say, your irons are definitely going
732
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:16.159
to be what gets you out of trouble the most.
733
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:25.639
If you are you hit your driver thirteen fourteen times around,
734
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:30.320
you're going to be battling in that fair way or
735
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:33.000
the woods, depending on where you're at your skill level
736
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:39.559
more times than not. Make sure those weapons are what
737
00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:42.519
you can rely on. I would make sure that you
738
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:46.360
get with a fitter that you trust. Get with an
739
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:51.239
agnostic fitter if you can make sure that they are
740
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:56.199
exploring every brand. And that's the biggest thing I think
741
00:38:56.239 --> 00:38:59.760
I could tell anybody when you're out of fitting for irons,
742
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:06.559
drus or whatever. Open up your eyes to DTC brands.
743
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:10.480
Open up your eyes to brands that you might not
744
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:11.840
even consider.
745
00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:14.599
If you are We've seen it all the time.
746
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:16.360
These guys come in there and they're like, no, I'm
747
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:19.400
a titlest guy. I'm a titlist guy, tailor made guy,
748
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:20.840
from Putter to ball.
749
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:24.079
Everything turns out.
750
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:28.000
The best driver for them is a Wilson. The best
751
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:32.360
irons for them are strick Songs. And maybe we'll let
752
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:35.679
it slide and stick them into Scottie Cameron Putter. It
753
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:38.800
wouldn't be likely, but I might let them have it.
754
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:42.760
So players don't do full bad contracts. You know though,
755
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:45.280
these crackt themount of clubs because they're like, yeah, you're
756
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.639
the irons were great, but the driver's trash.
757
00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:49.039
Yeah, exactly.
758
00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:50.760
And we tell people all the time, I'm like, God,
759
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:54.599
whatever you do, if you do, really don't buy what
760
00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:58.159
you see on tour because Scotti Schuffler's winning with it.
761
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:00.440
Unless you're playing like Scotti sh Uffler.
762
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:03.639
No, we don't need to be talking about you buying
763
00:40:03.639 --> 00:40:07.559
what's in Scottie's back. So so yeah, I would. I
764
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:13.039
would definitely spend some some really good time researching with
765
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:17.679
a my golf spy test here and there, heading to
766
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:21.280
your fitting and making sure that fitter is is really
767
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:27.440
exploring every aspect of your swing and your delivery across
768
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:30.599
the market, ball and irons.
769
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:34.280
Yeah, yeah, all right, properly fit well before I get
770
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:36.920
into my last question, just tell our listeners where they
771
00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:38.920

782
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:06.760
No, I won't be given out the address.
783
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:11.840
The open door policy no longer stands, well, not for lawsuits,
784
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:14.239
but but actually no, if if anyone is in the.
785
00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:16.440

to reach out to us or area. Absolutely. Yeah, but
791
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:34.639
that that rolls right into my last question perfectly. This
792
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.079
is a Philly bass podcast, so I never let anybody
793
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:41.559
go without asking them what is their favorite Philadelphia area?
794
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:44.119

795
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:45.920

840
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:13.440
I mean, think about how much they just change the industry. Literally,
841
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:16.760
I mean, these manufacturers now they know that somebody's watching
842
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:19.719
and testing and it's helped all of us because God
843
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:21.559
knows where things would be if they weren't doing what
844
00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:23.320
they do. And they deliver it in such a cool
845
00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:23.719
way too.
846
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:26.559
It's just oh, it's great now. The media. Yeah, and
847
00:44:26.599 --> 00:44:28.760
it's not just you know that they do a range session.
848
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:32.280
It's back by data. It's not you know, just preference
849
00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:34.360
on this or that, which which I love.
850
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.639
The golf boy is crazy, man. The disparity and golf
851
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:39.960
balls out of a box is just mind blowing.
852
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:42.920
I mean, I saw Brandon just testing. We were up
853
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:44.599
in the Lake Nona the one time, like trying to
854
00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:46.760
figure out which way he wanted to go, and just
855
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:48.960
you can see the difference, and it's like, you know,
856
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:52.280
on a track man, like where's your with? Which bulg
857
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:56.360
is your smeallest mess? You know, it makes a difference.
858
00:44:56.920 --> 00:44:59.719
Yeah, yeah, And you get you know, as people to
859
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:04.840
watch golf on TV or read golf in magazines or online,
860
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:08.280
you get inundated with the same companies that spend all
861
00:45:08.360 --> 00:45:10.679
the money on the marketing and we all know who
862
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:12.679
they are, I mean, and then they make great stuff.
863
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:15.599
But then you see you know, testing that comes out
864
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:18.559
from my golf spine, and you're like, oh, Wilson makes
865
00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:21.599
a golf ball because they used to weigh back in
866
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:25.000
the day. Max Fly makes a new golf ball and
867
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:29.000
you know, Dick's Sporting Goods owns it, and because that
868
00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:31.320
used to be a great golf ball when Freddy Couples
869
00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:33.599
was playing in the early nineties and now it's back.
870
00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:35.920
And oh, by the way, it's pretty good, you know,
871
00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:38.440
And and they test all that stuff. It's it's really
872
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:40.000
cool data what they're doing.
873
00:45:40.119 --> 00:45:41.159
Yeah, it really is.
874
00:45:41.639 --> 00:45:45.079
And she's cool. Yeah, she has a great hang. And
875
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:47.119
I might have to have a I've seen Moose with
876
00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:49.079
a club in his hands every now and then. Yeah,
877
00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:51.280
I'm sitting here like this. I'm like, I got of it.
878
00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:53.280
You know.
879
00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:55.559
It's nice when you're on the show talking about golf
880
00:45:55.559 --> 00:45:58.079
holding it. Yeah, I have my grip.
881
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:00.960
I thought I've seen a few times grabbing.
882
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:05.519
Yeah, yeah, no doubt. Well all is right in the world.
883
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:08.039
When Scottie Scheffler's been in golf tournaments, right, doesn't just
884
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:11.559
feel like golf is just like we always say.
885
00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:12.880
It's like a return to normalcy.
886
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:15.440
And if that guy putts, everyone is dead.
887
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:16.400
Oh you're dead.
888
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:18.719
When you gain nine strokes on the field and have
889
00:46:18.760 --> 00:46:21.480
an eighth shot win, good luck beating that guy when
890
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:24.360
his putter is on hair. We talk about it NonStop. Man,
891
00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:27.440
If he figures that out consistently, that's when he's world
892
00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:30.079
number one and he's rolling off you know, golf tournaments.
893
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:32.840
Oh, absolutely, it's it's over, and it's you know, it's
894
00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:36.480
kind of funny that, you know, he putts likes out.
895
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:40.280
You know, he he was He's been so close so
896
00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:43.320
many times this season. And you know, we talked about
897
00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:45.679
it a week or two ago that Brandal Shambly has
898
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:47.599
made a case that he's still Player of the Year
899
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:50.800
even prior to this win, you know, or prior to
900
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:54.119
anything else that happens transpires in the next two playoff events,
901
00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:57.519
because of the numbers and how consistent he has been
902
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.239
and you know how many you know, you know, look
903
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:02.920
at all the data, the top tens, the top fives
904
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:05.840
and everything, and but he only had one win. And
905
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:08.719
now he goes and with a dominant win in a
906
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:12.280
playoff event, and like you said, Moose, he putted lights
907
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:15.119
out and nobody can stay with him when that when
908
00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:17.880
that's the case, and you know, I had Burns, you know,
909
00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:20.519
who had a great third round and vaulted himself to
910
00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:22.920
the top of the leader board and played with him
911
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:25.480
the final day and their two best buddies and all
912
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:28.800
and so forth, and I'm thinking, well, maybe Burns can hang. Well,
913
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:31.320
Burns had nothing. I mean, he's you know, he proved
914
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:33.960
again that he's not the greatest closer. But he couldn't
915
00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:36.760
even like close second place. He slipped back the tie
916
00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:39.639
for third. But it was clear, like from you know,
917
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:41.760
the first couple of holes that Scotty was not going
918
00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:44.360
to relinquish this lead. And he just steps on the
919
00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:48.239
gas pedal so calmly and just cruises to a big win.
920
00:47:48.360 --> 00:47:51.920
But that I think was good for them. Yeah, it
921
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:54.719
really was, and it was it was amazing that they
922
00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:58.239
made Rory McElroy play in this event, and he played
923
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:00.119
like he did not want to be there.
924
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:02.480
He was sixty six of sixty eight.
925
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:05.320
Yeah, he finished almost DFL. Would have been great if
926
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:10.079
he was DFL, but he didn't. And like it's like
927
00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:13.159
in a weird way, that was like you know, comedy
928
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:14.239
for me, It's great.
929
00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:17.400
Yeah, great, yeah, how about one guy go ahead?
930
00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:19.679
I was gonna tell you now, is over a thousand
931
00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:24.880
cup points clear in the second who's finished runner up
932
00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:28.679
five times this season? Which it's just crazy how dominant
933
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:31.239
that you know, Scotty is and how he was and
934
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:33.480
in a matter, in a moment that mattered most. But
935
00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:35.360
what do we have? Yeah, two of them's left and
936
00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:37.280
I'm basically locking a player there.
937
00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:39.760
And I like Teddy's mustache. By the way, I know
938
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:41.239
Scott thought it looked bad.
939
00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:42.800
I think he ain't going where now.
940
00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:46.800
I think he looked terrific because that's Gilligan bucket had
941
00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:49.159
he looks good in that because he's got a thin face.
942
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.079
I don't because I have a fat face. But he
943
00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:55.039
looks really good in the Gilligan bucket with the mustache.
944
00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:55.880
It's a great look.
945
00:48:56.400 --> 00:48:59.320
It ain't going nowhere, man, Scott even said it. That
946
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:03.239
thing is going and nowhere. Somebody else who uh balled
947
00:49:03.280 --> 00:49:06.719
out Sunjay. Yeah, I was in fifty third and nobody
948
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:10.760
saw that coming drops down the fortieth. I mean talk
949
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:13.719
about just showing up and just you know, creating your
950
00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:17.039
unfortunate and advancing good stuff out of sun Jay in man.
951
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:21.440
Oh yeah, no doubt, no doubt. They you know, the
952
00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:24.280
weather was a factor. I know a lot of those guys.
953
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:26.800
I mean, you know who likes playing in that kind
954
00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:29.320
of weather four days in a row when things matter.
955
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:32.960
I mean that that's brutal. It's like one hundred degrees
956
00:49:33.480 --> 00:49:35.920
that you know, it's humid as all get out. And
957
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:38.760
I mean I played in one hundred degrees today, but
958
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:41.159
it was like ninety three plus the humidity, and I
959
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:43.519
thought it was fine. But I'm not playing for a living,
960
00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:45.679
and I'm not playing four days in a row.
961
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:47.480
With You're not warming up for an hour and a half.
962
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:51.840
I warm up for twenty minutes. Twenty minutes. You know,
963
00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:54.880
I need twenty minutes because I'm old. But yeah, I
964
00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:56.519
mean I get I get your thinking. These guys are
965
00:49:56.519 --> 00:49:59.440
playing golf. They're on the golf course for eight hours
966
00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:02.280
every day. Yeah, you know, in that kind of heat,
967
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:06.559
and some jay he played terrific. Nobody saw that comment.
968
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:08.199
No, not on my Bengo card.
969
00:50:08.639 --> 00:50:12.079
Yeah, tell you what I talked about our golf. I
970
00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:15.000
don't I don't know where my clubs are since the
971
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:18.599
Derby re member, I was just so awful and just
972
00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:21.719
so disenfranchised with my game and the sport. I don't
973
00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:23.400
know if my clubs are in my trunk or at
974
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:26.280
the club. I'll find out tomorrow. I'm gonna get out
975
00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:28.480
and play around. But I haven't, like, I haven't touched
976
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:32.159
them since the derby. Yeah, I just like I was
977
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:34.039
so like bad. I was like, I need a little
978
00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:36.480
I need to cool offer. You need a little time out.
979
00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:39.440
Too, like some you know, she took she took like
980
00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:40.039
five years.
981
00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:42.119
But I mean I've been a little busy too.
982
00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:47.280
Yeah, things going on. You know, we may talk.
983
00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:49.639
About maybe rips and everything else.
984
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:53.039
You know, it's like, yeah, but I'm gonna I'm gonna
985
00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:54.400
get it. I'm gonna get him out this week and
986
00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:56.920
then what I think I really need is what I'll
987
00:50:56.920 --> 00:50:59.159
get to have next week, which is Lake George, Me
988
00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:04.960
and Greeney seven am and just couldn't be more relaxing round.
989
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:08.039
And that's why that's a golf refresh for the soul
990
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:08.920
is what I need.
991
00:51:09.639 --> 00:51:11.199
Nice, Is there a range there?
992
00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:17.920
We wed we roll up at six fifty seven am.
993
00:51:18.199 --> 00:51:19.039
That's what I thought.
994
00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:22.280
There's nogs still on the thing. And yeah, I don't
995
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:23.159
even know if there is a range.
996
00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:27.119
I've never never, never there wouldn't.
997
00:51:27.239 --> 00:51:31.280
We won't even roll a punt, no, god right. Our
998
00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:33.639
goal was to be back at the house when when
999
00:51:33.679 --> 00:51:40.599
the kids are just fitting starting to practice. Yeah, it's beautiful, great, awesome, Parry.
1000
00:51:40.639 --> 00:51:42.880
You've had some You've had some fun rounds with some
1001
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:44.840
with some interesting folks.
1002
00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:49.519
Yeah, I'm back down making friends. Yeah, I make friends
1003
00:51:49.559 --> 00:51:53.960
everywhere everywhere we go, you know that. But yeah, very
1004
00:51:53.960 --> 00:51:56.840
interesting last couple of days here at River Hall down
1005
00:51:56.880 --> 00:52:00.079
in Florida, having a blast and I played, you know,
1006
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:02.079
you just sort of put yourself on the t sheet
1007
00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:06.519
and you know, people join in and met some great people.
1008
00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:09.679
I met a guy who was a three handicap yesterday
1009
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:13.679
and played to it. He's good guy from the Midwest,
1010
00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:18.480
and he's he's dealing with colorectal cancer and he had
1011
00:52:18.480 --> 00:52:22.039
his shirt untucked on the first t and his wife,
1012
00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:24.679
who it's my wife and he and his wife, and
1013
00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:25.760
she was a good player too.
1014
00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:26.800
My wife's a good player.
1015
00:52:27.719 --> 00:52:31.639
And his wife just apologized right out of the right
1016
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:33.159
out of the get go for him not having a
1017
00:52:33.199 --> 00:52:36.719
shirt tucked in because he's got a colostomy bag. And
1018
00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:40.400
I'm like, oh my goodness, like she's just offering that
1019
00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:43.199
up right out of the shoe. So, I mean, all
1020
00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:45.639
bets are off, like, you know, we found out more
1021
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:48.559
about this crew in the first three holes, and maybe
1022
00:52:48.599 --> 00:52:50.800
I even wanted to know. But man, they were great.
1023
00:52:50.920 --> 00:52:54.519
The guy was great. He played terrifically. He's getting it
1024
00:52:54.599 --> 00:52:57.920
reversed in a couple of weeks, so everything looks good.
1025
00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:01.760
He's beating it. But that was yesterday and today I
1026
00:53:01.800 --> 00:53:04.960
get grouped with two guys. We didn't have a fourth.
1027
00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:07.840
They had the women's league in the morning, so guys
1028
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:10.079
just sort of, you know, file in whenever they can,
1029
00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:12.440
and was just three of us. I get up to
1030
00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:15.679
the first tee and the two guys come in. They
1031
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:18.599
saw my name on the t sheet and they introduced themselves.
1032
00:53:18.679 --> 00:53:21.159
Hey Harry, I'm so and so, and then you know,
1033
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:24.360
and I'm very happy to meet him. The first guy,
1034
00:53:25.320 --> 00:53:28.960
Tom goes, we don't talk a lot, and he looks
1035
00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:31.960
at me like this, and I'm going, okay, I'm reading
1036
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:34.199
what he's writing. Right away. I go, I like.
1037
00:53:34.239 --> 00:53:37.599
This guy, well, I got the car right right.
1038
00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:40.360
He's like that. He's like, yeah, we don't talk a lot,
1039
00:53:40.440 --> 00:53:43.079
and I'm like, so he's hoping I'm not a talker,
1040
00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:46.840
and I'm like, yeah, we're good, bro, all good. I
1041
00:53:46.920 --> 00:53:49.039
do a lot of talking, but not on the golf course.
1042
00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:51.400
I'm we're fine. So I get in with this other
1043
00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:53.519
The other guy jumps in with me and they said,
1044
00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:56.800
oh boy, you got Fred, and I'm like, Fred, Fred's
1045
00:53:56.800 --> 00:54:00.679
an older guy, nice guy. He starts asking me some
1046
00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:03.360
questions about myself, and you know, we're all good. We
1047
00:54:03.440 --> 00:54:06.440
get to he hits his first shot. I drive him
1048
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:07.320
out to the fairway.
1049
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:08.280
He's in the fairway.
1050
00:54:08.519 --> 00:54:12.000
He goes left side, left side, and I'm like, okay,
1051
00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:13.880
so I drive the car to the left side of
1052
00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:16.880
the ball. He doesn't want to see the cart I
1053
00:54:16.920 --> 00:54:20.440
guess in his purview while he's taking a swing. So
1054
00:54:21.079 --> 00:54:23.639
he's very particular. I like that. He's you know, he's
1055
00:54:24.079 --> 00:54:27.599
he's just the way it is. I'm like, I love
1056
00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:30.320
these guys. Right. So he hits a shot.
1057
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:31.239
Everything's fine.
1058
00:54:31.400 --> 00:54:34.719
I take my shot. He has a little comment about
1059
00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:38.440
what I did. I'm like, I love these guys. Got
1060
00:54:38.679 --> 00:54:41.519
the shot. He goes left side, left side, and I'm like,
1061
00:54:41.559 --> 00:54:44.159
by by the second shot, I had figured it out.
1062
00:54:44.599 --> 00:54:46.840
And then he starts telling me stories. You know, he's
1063
00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:50.000
married for a third time, and he was you know,
1064
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:54.519
I had a little on the right side. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
1065
00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:58.320
He had a tryst with a pole answer and you know,
1066
00:54:58.639 --> 00:55:02.320
very recently and stole from him. She stole some of
1067
00:55:02.360 --> 00:55:07.159
his golf equipment. And oh it was unbelievable, the entertaining
1068
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:13.480
value alone. And I've played it on you. I played amazing. Yeah,
1069
00:55:13.480 --> 00:55:14.199
it was awesome.
1070
00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:18.400
It was great, Danielle. I saw some little I saw
1071
00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:22.400
some swings out of you. Recently, Yeah, with the coach.
1072
00:55:23.039 --> 00:55:27.760
Yep back with Mike Milisia over at Admirals and a
1073
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:30.440
lot of courses down here, like Turtles closed right now.
1074
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:33.800
Old Palm was closed, So it's tough. But yeah, I
1075
00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:35.960
got to got to get over with Mike and a
1076
00:55:36.039 --> 00:55:39.559
lesson in and play a little bit of golf.
1077
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:44.000
So Harry, I told West, I didn't. Had I known
1078
00:55:44.079 --> 00:55:46.480
that that was the last time that clubhouse was going
1079
00:55:46.559 --> 00:55:48.360
to be there, that we enjoyed so much, I would
1080
00:55:48.400 --> 00:55:50.400
have maybe like spent a few more. I mean we did,
1081
00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:52.920
we spend most of the night there, But yeah, I
1082
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:55.199
would have maybe gen reflected on the way out or something.
1083
00:55:55.239 --> 00:55:58.000
I didn't know if they were going there.
1084
00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:01.079
Yeah, yeah I didn't.
1085
00:56:01.159 --> 00:56:02.400
I didn't.
1086
00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:05.519
They knocked it down. It's fully I'm sure it was like.
1087
00:56:05.679 --> 00:56:11.960
Really total like nineteen fifties nineteen nineteen sixties. Is so cool.
1088
00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:13.320
It is fun cool.
1089
00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:15.519
It's glad we got to experience that moose.
1090
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:17.639
So it just mean you need to come back for
1091
00:56:17.719 --> 00:56:18.199
the new one.
1092
00:56:18.239 --> 00:56:21.519
Then, Oh yeah, that's a that's an annual thing. There's
1093
00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:22.400
no doubt about that.
1094
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:24.840
What's coming up for he is?
1095
00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:26.280
He sure is?
1096
00:56:26.599 --> 00:56:29.559
Yeah, sure, my tickets booked. I'm ready to go.
1097
00:56:30.079 --> 00:56:31.960
I love it. I love it. Are you ready to
1098
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:35.079
spill some tea? Oh yeah, all right, let's do it.
1099
00:56:35.639 --> 00:56:37.400
I don't know if you got any live golf news
1100
00:56:37.480 --> 00:56:41.280
or not in there, but yeah.
1101
00:56:40.599 --> 00:56:42.440
And like I mean, we said we send it in
1102
00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:45.760
our golf text and everything. But I'm like, it literally
1103
00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:48.480
is just so underwhelming. And even I think Harry responded
1104
00:56:48.480 --> 00:56:51.320
to it when I said He's just like, yeah, next,
1105
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:52.039
do you know what I mean?
1106
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:55.440
It's just like, let's just give up the ruse that
1107
00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:57.119
that's this thing is still violent?
1108
00:56:57.400 --> 00:56:59.599
I mean, you know what I mean. It's like everyone
1109
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:01.320
knows you were away for getting a divorce and you're
1110
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:02.119
just saying like, no.
1111
00:57:02.119 --> 00:57:05.800
Rush, you're we're staying together for the kids.
1112
00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:09.199
No, you're not the kids that you just park on
1113
00:57:09.199 --> 00:57:11.119
the left side and everything's fine left side.
1114
00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:17.480
Oh this is a nice little easy parlay and to
1115
00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:20.039
kind of live. So our guy Ryan at Monday Q
1116
00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:25.320
he got a ranged by Bryson today. Yeah, he's on
1117
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:29.440
site for the live event in Indianapolis and Bryson and
1118
00:57:29.480 --> 00:57:32.599
his team are working on a swing. You can see,
1119
00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:36.239
you know from accounts that are online, that Bryson is
1120
00:57:36.360 --> 00:57:39.159
visibly upset with the state of the swing and it's
1121
00:57:39.199 --> 00:57:42.039
working with his team and is frustrated. And I guess
1122
00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:44.760
part of me Ryan walked up and I think there
1123
00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:48.559
were a couple other media there too, and Bryson quote like, ooh,
1124
00:57:48.599 --> 00:57:52.559
the mafia arrive. The Mafia. You guys love talking deep
1125
00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:56.400
and like loud enough for everyone to hear. And then
1126
00:57:56.480 --> 00:57:59.760
Ryan gets booted off the range and he's like, well,
1127
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:02.360
you know, add that to things, you know, like what
1128
00:58:02.639 --> 00:58:04.800
I never seen coming, Like what is happening in my
1129
00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:08.159
life right now? But just going back to fact check myself.
1130
00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:10.400
And find find swimming all of a sudden, and now
1131
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:12.119
he's dating a girl and all of a sudden, he's
1132
00:58:12.159 --> 00:58:13.159
throwing people off the range.
1133
00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:16.000
He's going get angry and everything else, and you know,
1134
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:19.679
it's just toster, it's flowing. But I did check X
1135
00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:21.599
to make sure everything was good, and I had my
1136
00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:24.119
info correct before we jumped on here, and I saw
1137
00:58:24.159 --> 00:58:26.159
that Ryan tweeted about an hour or so ago that
1138
00:58:26.199 --> 00:58:29.079
Bryson actually called him, and he said, our conversation is
1139
00:58:29.119 --> 00:58:31.079
off record, he said, but he appreciated that Bryce and
1140
00:58:31.159 --> 00:58:34.199
called him because most players would not. So maybe he said,
1141
00:58:34.199 --> 00:58:36.320
you know, it's just frustrated in that moment or whatever.
1142
00:58:38.519 --> 00:58:42.119
We've seen him melt down on ranges before and in
1143
00:58:42.199 --> 00:58:45.480
tournaments passed. I mean that guy, he'd stay out until
1144
00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:48.480
late nightey, they'd put lights up until, you know, until
1145
00:58:48.480 --> 00:58:51.360
he can get it right, and he gets really emotional
1146
00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:53.199
when things don't go well.
1147
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:55.119
Well and a lot of times I think we lose
1148
00:58:55.159 --> 00:58:57.880
sight that these are just people. So imagine you at
1149
00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:00.760
your most frustrated moment at work when big projects to
1150
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:04.360
or when you're trying to somebody's filming and someone's like, hey,
1151
00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:08.199
web site here. You know, you're like come on, like
1152
00:59:08.280 --> 00:59:10.079
get get out of my face for a couple of minutes.
1153
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:12.000
But I think it showed a little bit maybe of
1154
00:59:12.079 --> 00:59:15.280
this character that he called and apologized after, So I
1155
00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:17.960
thought that was the good part. I didn't want to
1156
00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:23.400
just lead with that. Rory asked, was asked in a presser,
1157
00:59:24.519 --> 00:59:26.360
you know about being player of the areas. I'm that
1158
00:59:26.400 --> 00:59:28.760
player that you're Scotti is and then he continued on.
1159
00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:30.960
He goes, well, we got two more events, so you know,
1160
00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:32.519
we'll see it. But he's like, I mean, come on,
1161
00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:34.960
Scott you So he was.
1162
00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:36.480
Asked a couple of things at his pressers.
1163
00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:43.039
Yeah, because he offers.
1164
00:59:43.639 --> 00:59:49.000
Both asked about Live Golf and what they thought and Harry, uh,
1165
00:59:49.199 --> 00:59:52.159
the comment section did not disappoint, as you said.
1166
00:59:53.119 --> 00:59:57.400
Teammates on that live that he was in the locker room.
1167
00:59:57.840 --> 01:00:00.519
That was one of the first comments on that. They
1168
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:04.119
were like, wait a second, Like half of your you know,
1169
01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:06.920
Ryder Cup players are on here.
1170
01:00:07.119 --> 01:00:10.719
So John Ram and Tyr o'hatton, what do they have
1171
01:00:10.800 --> 01:00:13.000
to say about that. I mean, these guys are.
1172
01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:16.480
Saying he loves competing against some of the guys over
1173
01:00:16.519 --> 01:00:18.239
there and won't do it.
1174
01:00:18.679 --> 01:00:21.400
Yeah, maybe it used to dust up on some media training.
1175
01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:23.840
They can use a little controversy in that locker room. Yeah,
1176
01:00:23.840 --> 01:00:26.519
they could have been going too good lately for those guys.
1177
01:00:26.920 --> 01:00:28.519
Oh yeah, you're right, they could.
1178
01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:31.000
But I mean, you know, like Rory's like, you know,
1179
01:00:31.239 --> 01:00:34.400
did did you anything for Live? Well? They might not
1180
01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:37.159
have done anything for Live as far as where Live
1181
01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:41.440
is now, but what they did is boost everything money
1182
01:00:41.440 --> 01:00:43.119
wise for the Pgah.
1183
01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:47.159
It's like a modern day Tiger Woods exactly. You know
1184
01:00:48.480 --> 01:00:51.519
what they did to the purses and having you know,
1185
01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:54.519
new restructure. Look, look what just happened in terms of
1186
01:00:54.599 --> 01:00:58.239
now like the Challenger's Tour and the elevated events with
1187
01:00:58.320 --> 01:01:01.280
no cups, Like there's been so many changes and all
1188
01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:02.000
that goes.
1189
01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:05.760
Back to what Phil Michoelson said back in the years ago,
1190
01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:08.119
and he was criticized for but he was kind of
1191
01:01:08.199 --> 01:01:11.159
right in a weird way, like there was a lot
1192
01:01:11.199 --> 01:01:12.039
of mo there.
1193
01:01:12.039 --> 01:01:15.639
That that really wasn't going to the players, saying I
1194
01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:17.760
thought when he said take a ride with the car, girl,
1195
01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:18.159
I didn't know.
1196
01:01:18.320 --> 01:01:22.880
I don't know we could get into those he'sid.
1197
01:01:22.519 --> 01:01:26.000
A lot of things.
1198
01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:28.920
Drive my drive my phone around is still one of
1199
01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:31.440
the wildest things I've heard in a long long time.
1200
01:01:32.159 --> 01:01:33.880
Let me just throw this car. Let me just throw
1201
01:01:33.920 --> 01:01:36.559
my phone in your car. By the way, Oh, I'm
1202
01:01:36.599 --> 01:01:39.159
in this billionaire's mansion doing god knows what with God
1203
01:01:39.239 --> 01:01:39.519
knows So.
1204
01:01:40.280 --> 01:01:43.719
It shows that I'm It's unbelievable.
1205
01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:47.360
Okay, we digress.
1206
01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:52.239
Yes, pop Stroke. I saw this. I thought it was
1207
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:55.760
pretty cool. Yeah, it's opening its most elaborate venue this
1208
01:01:55.800 --> 01:01:58.239
December in Orlando. This thing is insane. It's gonna be
1209
01:01:58.239 --> 01:02:01.960
on International Drive nine point five million dollars flagship. So
1210
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:05.079
it has two eighteen hole courses, a river system that
1211
01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:09.039
run to the entire property, thirteen waterfalls, a cave, and
1212
01:02:09.199 --> 01:02:13.800
in this cave players will put past six live sharks
1213
01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:18.559
and stingrays. Like, oh, they're just buying sharks and stingrays
1214
01:02:18.559 --> 01:02:21.000
and that, like it's an aquarium, I guess on top
1215
01:02:21.039 --> 01:02:23.679
of putt putt golf. I mean, it's what have either
1216
01:02:23.719 --> 01:02:25.000
of you played a pop stroke yet?
1217
01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:25.599
No?
1218
01:02:25.599 --> 01:02:27.719
No, I saw one down here, and there's one in
1219
01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:31.000
Fort Myers I drove past yesterday. It's as much smaller
1220
01:02:31.039 --> 01:02:31.880
one obviously.
1221
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:35.920
You know what's embarrassing is we have one by the airport,
1222
01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:40.159
which is like fifteen to twenty minutes from also one. Yeah,
1223
01:02:40.199 --> 01:02:43.039
and there's also one north of us. I think maybe
1224
01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:47.400
like Port Saint Lucy's Stewart something like that, and I haven't,
1225
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:48.760
Like I was at the airport the other day and
1226
01:02:48.800 --> 01:02:50.079
I saw it. I was like, I really got to
1227
01:02:50.079 --> 01:02:51.760
get out there. But we've been to like the Top
1228
01:02:51.800 --> 01:02:55.119
Golf or whatever. The other version of that is like
1229
01:02:55.239 --> 01:02:57.400
right there by the airport, but they just added this on.
1230
01:02:57.480 --> 01:03:04.679
I haven't been yet, but next time with Tiger's business. Yeah,
1231
01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:07.639
maybe next year for the PGA show, we can we
1232
01:03:07.679 --> 01:03:10.639
can go. Oh yeah, it'll be open open s December
1233
01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:14.559
shows January. Okay, well to our list and see some
1234
01:03:14.599 --> 01:03:21.519
live sharks while we're playing women's golf CPKC Women's Open.
1235
01:03:21.599 --> 01:03:24.400
So Brooke Henderson is looking to defend on home soil
1236
01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:28.559
at Royal Mayfair Golf Club. So not too much women's
1237
01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:31.320
golf getting attention right now with you know, the final
1238
01:03:31.360 --> 01:03:33.719
events of men's golf, but figured we just bring it
1239
01:03:33.800 --> 01:03:38.199
up to give them some learn Yeah, and we talked
1240
01:03:38.199 --> 01:03:40.960
a little bit about live but it's just I'm bored
1241
01:03:41.079 --> 01:03:42.719
even like trying to like write it down.
1242
01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:46.880
I'm like, uhh, yeah, I'd rather talk about the Philly
1243
01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:49.000
golf story from last week here at the us M.
1244
01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:52.280
I mean, I think it just was it was. I'm
1245
01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:54.320
so mad I didn't get out there again, had a
1246
01:03:54.360 --> 01:03:56.400
couple of things going on last week, but I'm so
1247
01:03:56.559 --> 01:03:58.239
pissed that I didn't get out there. I feel like
1248
01:03:58.239 --> 01:04:00.320
I missed a major opportunity. Everyone I talk do you
1249
01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:02.920
included said it was such a cool way to experience.
1250
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:06.280
Of course, it really is good, you know, because you
1251
01:04:06.320 --> 01:04:08.559
can you know, there's no ropes, you can kind of
1252
01:04:08.639 --> 01:04:11.239
just walk out there on the failways and you know,
1253
01:04:11.480 --> 01:04:16.159
it's it's so cool and Marian's just I mean, it's
1254
01:04:16.199 --> 01:04:19.239
hard to describe how special it is, you know, because
1255
01:04:19.280 --> 01:04:23.400
it's such a tight property. Yet the routing of that
1256
01:04:23.440 --> 01:04:27.719
golf course might be the greatest routing of all time
1257
01:04:27.760 --> 01:04:31.320
that I've ever ever witnessed, because the way they utilize
1258
01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:34.719
that small piece of land and they get every inch
1259
01:04:34.760 --> 01:04:37.719
out of it, you know, for it's not even seven
1260
01:04:37.760 --> 01:04:43.239
thousand yards, but it tests the best golfers like beyond believe.
1261
01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:45.760
I mean, you know the US Open. It was plus
1262
01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:49.559
one in twenty thirteen to win that thing, and yet
1263
01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:52.000
it's not even seven thousand yards. Now that tells you
1264
01:04:52.039 --> 01:04:57.400
about the architecture. The architecture is just sublime. The conditions
1265
01:04:57.480 --> 01:05:01.880
are incredible, and they did they just ran a top
1266
01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:04.760
notch event. I mean, the USGA did a terrific job.
1267
01:05:04.760 --> 01:05:06.119
Philadelphia Country Club too.
1268
01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:08.760
It was a big tip of the cap because that
1269
01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:14.360
place was terrific and uh yeah, it was awesome. I mean,
1270
01:05:14.519 --> 01:05:18.400
you know, the number one, top seeds fell fell off.
1271
01:05:18.599 --> 01:05:21.559
You know, you had guys from sort of down the
1272
01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:24.639
board a little bit fighting for the championship. But man,
1273
01:05:24.679 --> 01:05:25.599
it was a great drama.
1274
01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:30.840
Florida State, a Florida State guy, another guy from Jack
1275
01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:34.039
Jack Willy right Jack yeah, American?
1276
01:05:34.199 --> 01:05:37.559
Yeah yeah, and I.
1277
01:05:37.519 --> 01:05:39.480
Can't I'm jelling a blank on his name right now.
1278
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:42.360
But one of the kids who made it into the quarterfinals,
1279
01:05:42.519 --> 01:05:44.679
he's from Scranton, from the area.
1280
01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:50.360
Well yeah, well yeah, that kid plays for Liberty. Yeah, yeah,
1281
01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:56.039
he's he's from up around Scranton. Yep, yeah, gosh right, No, well,
1282
01:05:56.119 --> 01:05:59.360
Josh played for Liberty too. Josh played for Liberty Metal.
1283
01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:04.199
But the other the other kid who stayed with Josh
1284
01:06:04.840 --> 01:06:07.960
from around Scranton made to the he made it to
1285
01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:12.639
the quarterfinals yet beat Yeah, Liberty is gonna have a
1286
01:06:13.199 --> 01:06:16.159
Josh might come back for a fifth year to join
1287
01:06:16.440 --> 01:06:19.199
that kid and Noah, who's coming in there as an
1288
01:06:19.239 --> 01:06:21.599
incoming freshman, the guy who won the mid am. They
1289
01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:23.719
might have a monster team if he comes back.
1290
01:06:24.440 --> 01:06:26.400
Yeah, very cool.
1291
01:06:26.559 --> 01:06:29.440
But how great is it though? Just being you know,
1292
01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:32.800
not a lot of people get to be on the course,
1293
01:06:32.840 --> 01:06:35.800
like you said, no ropes and just following someone and seeing.
1294
01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:39.199
You're not just seeing a scorecard like you're upsloll. Yeah,
1295
01:06:39.280 --> 01:06:42.079
you're seeing like every punt, You're seeing like how they
1296
01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:47.239
got that bogie, how they got that. Yeah, it's just
1297
01:06:47.440 --> 01:06:49.639
that's one of my favorite styles of off to watch.
1298
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:51.599
A love Yeah, it was a real golf I mean
1299
01:06:51.599 --> 01:06:54.840
it was was. It was really incredible there.
1300
01:06:55.960 --> 01:06:58.760
Yeah, and just playing Fearless too, which.
1301
01:06:58.679 --> 01:07:02.360
Is wild, great stuff, great stuff for Philadelphia, I'll tell
1302
01:07:02.360 --> 01:07:05.519
you that much. And now we move back to uh
1303
01:07:05.639 --> 01:07:08.039
leg two if you will, the BMW. This is a
1304
01:07:08.039 --> 01:07:10.639
great Like I'm looking at the Bett Parks board, it's
1305
01:07:10.679 --> 01:07:14.320
wild Scotty. Scotty's at two ninety nine, like, I haven't
1306
01:07:14.320 --> 01:07:16.920
seen him sub three hundred in a in a while.
1307
01:07:17.039 --> 01:07:19.559
And then that's spread to Rory's at sixteen hundred. But
1308
01:07:19.599 --> 01:07:23.400
that's crazy to have him that far down. But you
1309
01:07:23.440 --> 01:07:25.639
know when it's it's a Scotty versus the field kind
1310
01:07:25.679 --> 01:07:28.679
of thing. But you have Rory, what's where are we
1311
01:07:28.719 --> 01:07:31.519
going to do? Right? He's thirteenth in FedEx Cup points, right,
1312
01:07:31.559 --> 01:07:33.199
so it's not really a concern. But he's going to
1313
01:07:33.239 --> 01:07:38.400
try to find it Cam Young right third in FedEx
1314
01:07:38.440 --> 01:07:41.159
Cup standings. You put him at the top of the board,
1315
01:07:41.239 --> 01:07:41.519
then you.
1316
01:07:41.519 --> 01:07:43.559
Haven't been playing well the last couple of weeks though
1317
01:07:43.559 --> 01:07:45.039
he's kind of now will.
1318
01:07:44.840 --> 01:07:48.440
He bounce back around? You got thirty advanced, you got
1319
01:07:48.440 --> 01:07:50.280
twenty or going home. So a lot of people in
1320
01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:52.519
the bubble. You got Ricky Well, you got Gary Woodland
1321
01:07:52.519 --> 01:07:55.679
thirty one, you got J. T. Kidiyama. Some of these
1322
01:07:55.679 --> 01:07:58.199
guys are like, you know, they got to do something
1323
01:07:58.280 --> 01:07:58.719
right there.
1324
01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:04.039
Yeah, no doubt. I I I think Woodland could have
1325
01:08:04.119 --> 01:08:07.239
a good week. I was considering him for one and
1326
01:08:07.280 --> 01:08:10.000
done because he's thirty one. He needs a big week,
1327
01:08:10.079 --> 01:08:12.519
but I shot away from it. But I'm gonna take
1328
01:08:12.599 --> 01:08:15.039
him in a top ten at plus three seventy five.
1329
01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:18.680
I like him in the top ten A lot harreat and.
1330
01:08:18.640 --> 01:08:22.760
This golf course is boring. There's nothing memorable about Belle Reef.
1331
01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:25.119
Shouldn't be the second they've had.
1332
01:08:25.239 --> 01:08:29.079
They've had majors there, They've had you know USGA events there.
1333
01:08:29.479 --> 01:08:32.119
I mean, Keepka beat Tiger there. And there's always gonna
1334
01:08:32.119 --> 01:08:35.840
say that Gary player, Gary player won his you know,
1335
01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:39.920
his Grand Slam there. There's been memorable happenings there, but
1336
01:08:39.960 --> 01:08:44.319
there's nothing memorable about the golf course from an architecture
1337
01:08:44.359 --> 01:08:47.560
standpoint or even watching it. Every hole kind of looks
1338
01:08:47.600 --> 01:08:51.319
the same, you know, sort of tree line, soft, soft
1339
01:08:51.359 --> 01:08:55.880
dog legs, and it's it's kind of boring, big traps.
1340
01:08:55.920 --> 01:08:59.600
There's some water, but there's there's nothing really that is interesting.
1341
01:08:59.640 --> 01:09:01.920
I mean every player won the sixty five Open there
1342
01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:05.399
a few weeks before I was born and completed the
1343
01:09:05.439 --> 01:09:09.039
Grand Slam ninety two. I watched Nick Price on TV
1344
01:09:09.199 --> 01:09:13.319
when the PGA there. I loved Nick Price. Eighteen Brooks
1345
01:09:13.359 --> 01:09:16.880
won the PGA B Tiger there. They've had an eight
1346
01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:23.800
BMW I think it was I forget it was, Yes,
1347
01:09:23.880 --> 01:09:27.239
Camilla won that. They had the four Senior Open with
1348
01:09:27.359 --> 01:09:31.960
Jacobson one, they had a thirteen Senior PGA. They're going
1349
01:09:32.039 --> 01:09:34.279
to have a President's Cup there. But this place is
1350
01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:40.039
blah nothing. There's nothing about this place that's.
1351
01:09:38.600 --> 01:09:41.319
It's playing what like seventy four hundred.
1352
01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:44.720
Yeah it's not even super long long, but it's not yeah,
1353
01:09:44.760 --> 01:09:49.399
par seventy. Robert Trent Jones designed it back in nineteen sixty,
1354
01:09:50.439 --> 01:09:53.199
but it's you know, nothing.
1355
01:09:53.640 --> 01:09:58.439
And yeah, the courses, but this is the first year
1356
01:09:58.479 --> 01:10:02.000
that it's straight stroke like no starting strokes format, right,
1357
01:10:02.119 --> 01:10:02.800
so this is.
1358
01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:07.399
Yeah, well that that'll be next week where they're.
1359
01:10:06.880 --> 01:10:08.439
Not every shot every shot.
1360
01:10:08.479 --> 01:10:09.920
For this every shot really.
1361
01:10:09.840 --> 01:10:12.960
Matters because next week it's not like Scotty's getting an
1362
01:10:13.560 --> 01:10:14.000
amount of.
1363
01:10:16.119 --> 01:10:19.119
Yeah, I think Pauli has a long shot at eight thousand.
1364
01:10:19.720 --> 01:10:21.119
Yeah, I like that too on.
1365
01:10:21.119 --> 01:10:22.199
The old bet Parks board.
1366
01:10:22.479 --> 01:10:25.600
Yeah, I mean Woodland's almost eight thousand. He's like seventy
1367
01:10:25.640 --> 01:10:27.000
eight hundred or something up there.
1368
01:10:27.399 --> 01:10:30.880
How about to get guess who was the lowest, well,
1369
01:10:31.039 --> 01:10:35.560
the last place on the board. A guy that like Straka, right,
1370
01:10:37.640 --> 01:10:40.439
He's just like he's still in there because he's played
1371
01:10:40.439 --> 01:10:42.560
so well, he's still up there. But to see him
1372
01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:44.600
as the dead lass on a betting board, it's just like,
1373
01:10:44.680 --> 01:10:50.399
well crazy, that is wild. Yeah yeah, yeah, definitely.
1374
01:10:51.119 --> 01:10:55.960
More Cola sticks right now. I took him minus one
1375
01:10:56.079 --> 01:10:58.479
twenty over more cow Adam Scott. I took in the
1376
01:10:58.520 --> 01:11:02.560
top twenty. And I told you about Woodland, and I'm
1377
01:11:02.560 --> 01:11:05.000
taking Victor in my one and done.
1378
01:11:05.439 --> 01:11:07.199
Yeah. I was hoping I had Hideki left, but I
1379
01:11:07.239 --> 01:11:08.840
used Hi because I like Adeki here. But I actually
1380
01:11:08.840 --> 01:11:09.680
took Victor as well.
1381
01:11:10.479 --> 01:11:13.680
I loved I loved Hideki period, Like did you see
1382
01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:16.399
did you happen to see? Last week? They're showing him
1383
01:11:16.479 --> 01:11:19.279
because he does all the one handed thing and everybody
1384
01:11:19.279 --> 01:11:20.720
thinks the shot stinks.
1385
01:11:20.439 --> 01:11:22.000
And he ends up being great.
1386
01:11:22.319 --> 01:11:26.800
He knows he is a fox. He he knows he
1387
01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:30.039
could speak some English to do an interview, but he doesn't. Right,
1388
01:11:30.399 --> 01:11:34.159
he's he's he's he's totally vicious. And he sees the
1389
01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:36.000
camera on him and he's looking at him and he
1390
01:11:36.159 --> 01:11:39.760
makes this little choy smile. He is having fun. I
1391
01:11:39.800 --> 01:11:42.680
love that guy. He's one of my favorite guys on tour.
1392
01:11:42.760 --> 01:11:44.720
To be honest, I wish.
1393
01:11:44.479 --> 01:11:46.720
I had that. See. I have a good friend Molin,
1394
01:11:46.840 --> 01:11:48.760
and she's Swedish and a lot of time, like if
1395
01:11:48.800 --> 01:11:50.800
we go out and people are trying to talk to us,
1396
01:11:50.880 --> 01:11:53.640
sometimes she'll just be like language barrier, and I'm like,
1397
01:11:54.000 --> 01:11:58.000
she she speaks perfect English, but of course I'm like,
1398
01:11:58.800 --> 01:12:00.920
I need to develop sometimes accent so I can be
1399
01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:02.039
like language.
1400
01:12:02.319 --> 01:12:10.079
Yeah English agree, Yeah, he's hilarious.
1401
01:12:10.359 --> 01:12:12.000
Well, I know we didn't really talk too much about
1402
01:12:12.039 --> 01:12:13.399
our top dog of the week, but I'm just going
1403
01:12:13.479 --> 01:12:15.560
to throw it out there, maybe for all of us,
1404
01:12:15.600 --> 01:12:18.199
but it's it's the folks that my golf spy for me,
1405
01:12:18.399 --> 01:12:20.840
the top they're the top dogs. You think about like,
1406
01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:22.439
you know, you think about top dog, how they fight
1407
01:12:22.479 --> 01:12:25.399
the insurance companies for you, How my spy is fighting
1408
01:12:25.439 --> 01:12:29.119
these manufacturers. Great for us, for the people, man like
1409
01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:32.319
just to get things done. So kudos to UH to
1410
01:12:32.399 --> 01:12:34.479
my gosp was fun to talk to Bennett because I've
1411
01:12:34.479 --> 01:12:36.520
been such a big fan of that organization for so
1412
01:12:36.680 --> 01:12:39.760
long and seeing what they do, so that was really cool, really.
1413
01:12:39.479 --> 01:12:43.359
Cool hearing their backstory. How much data analytics testing go
1414
01:12:43.479 --> 01:12:43.840
into it.
1415
01:12:43.880 --> 01:12:46.279
You need to get into the robots. I wanted to get.
1416
01:12:47.800 --> 01:12:52.760
Else. Yeah, could. I couldn't talk to her for hours? Yeah, yeah, Well,
1417
01:12:52.920 --> 01:12:57.199
you know, I think my golf spy is definitely you know,
1418
01:12:57.279 --> 01:12:58.960
number one A. But if we go with number one B,
1419
01:12:59.039 --> 01:13:01.159
it's the obvious. It's Scotty Scheffler, the way he was
1420
01:13:01.239 --> 01:13:03.439
rolling the rock. But he was just like I said
1421
01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:06.439
in that flow state, just it's how do you pick
1422
01:13:06.520 --> 01:13:08.560
somebody else when it comes to a player this past week?
1423
01:13:08.600 --> 01:13:10.960
You can't my top dog?
1424
01:13:13.279 --> 01:13:16.079
Well, I guess I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Andy,
1425
01:13:16.119 --> 01:13:20.600
the guy I played with yesterday. No, he's got he's
1426
01:13:20.600 --> 01:13:23.479
going to get the reversal in a yes, yeah, I
1427
01:13:23.479 --> 01:13:28.680
mean and this guy no co rectal cancer and the
1428
01:13:28.720 --> 01:13:32.760
guys are thrill out there playing it. He's a stud.
1429
01:13:32.680 --> 01:13:36.600
Man, so I'm going rooting for him. Yeah, I love it.
1430
01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:39.119
I love it. Well, thanks again to Bennett. Next week, uh,
1431
01:13:39.720 --> 01:13:42.520
I will be up at Lake George. But we do
1432
01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:45.119
have a very special guest lined up. I'm hoping it
1433
01:13:45.560 --> 01:13:48.359
actually it might work out to do more of like
1434
01:13:48.399 --> 01:13:51.600
a morning round on morning show. I'll talk to you
1435
01:13:51.680 --> 01:13:55.479
guys because this gentleman is in England and if you've
1436
01:13:55.520 --> 01:14:01.640
been following Baba does golf. He is phenomenal, He's hilarious.
1437
01:14:02.039 --> 01:14:04.800
His his rant about being a twenty handicap has just
1438
01:14:04.880 --> 01:14:07.439
taken over the internet and he is so excited to
1439
01:14:07.439 --> 01:14:10.000
come on and talk to us, and I'm thrilled to
1440
01:14:10.000 --> 01:14:11.840
have him on. So we're going to probably line him up,
1441
01:14:11.880 --> 01:14:14.159
so stay tuned for that. We'll get back next week.
1442
01:14:14.439 --> 01:14:19.600
Very good. Thanks guys, Swing it and ding it
