Welcome to Episode 367 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast! This week, we are joined by a special guest, Jacob Safar, the creator and developer of Grassy.
If you've ever wanted a dedicated platform just to nerd out about golf courses, Grassy is exactly what you've been looking for. Jacob breaks down how he built this iOS-exclusive social platform to help golfers track their travels, rank their favorite courses, and build their ultimate bucket lists.
In this episode, we cover:
- What is Grassy? Think of it like a restaurant review app or "Letterboxd," but specifically curated for golfers to share course photos and reviews.
- The Origin Story: Jacob explains how he developed the first version of the app in less than three weeks out of a coffee shop.
- App Features vs. On-Course Tracking: We discuss why Grassy focuses on the off-course social and discovery experience rather than competing with live GPS trackers like 18Birdies.
- Future Updates: We brainstorm some new features live on the show, from adding a Chasing Daylight group ranking page to a "Pokedex" for golf courses and AI caddy recommendations.
- Massive Giveaway: Jacob shares details on the current Grassy app giveaway, including a Callaway Quantum Max driver and over $500 in PGA Superstore and Grassy gift cards!

What is up, everybody?
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.079
Welcome to another episode of Deep Tasting Daylight Podcast.
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.239
We got some tough competition tonight.
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.079
We're going up against Trump.
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.679
So those of you who are up for politics, we're here for you.
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.039
Thank you so much for tuning in for this episode.
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.280
We have a special guest with us this evening.
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.159

Jeremy is missing.
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:54.079
He'll be here shortly.
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.920
He got stuck out at Perump.
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.719
So he'll be back on here in a few.
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.119
But we have Jacob Safar from Grassy.
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:08.560
And I'm pretty sure there's quite a few of you right now going, What the hell is Grassy?
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:09.760
Yeah.
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.799
Jacob, how are you doing tonight, man?
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:14.959
I'm fantastic.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:16.000
I'm doing great.
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.680
I'm stuck with that podcast.
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.560
Yeah, we this is this happened like over the last couple days.
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.879
Uh I am one who frequents golf apps.
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.239
I love golf apps.
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:29.599
I love seeing them.
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.200
I love checking them out.
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:37.519
And more often than not, I see one, I check it out, and I never see it again because it lacks a lot of things.
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.079
So I was on TikTok because I've had a lot of couch time lately with the knee surgery.
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.120
And I I saw an ad for a Grassy.
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:46.319
I'm like, what the heck's grassy?
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:47.680
So I go check it out.
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.439
And I was impressed.
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:54.239
So much, in fact, I sent the link to the guys and I said, You need to go check this out.
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:56.640
This is worth checking out.
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.400
I think this guy's onto something.
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:04.959
So, Jacob, please tell everybody what Grassy is and why they need to go download it right now.
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.400
First of all, I really appreciate that intro.
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:10.960
Like that, that makes that that touches my heart.
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:12.400
It feels really good to hear that.
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:21.680
Um But yeah, what Grassy is, is it's a social platform for you to share all the places that you've played with your friends and rank all the courses that you played.
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:30.639
So basically curating your own collection of of your all your travels and everything and sharing that with the overall grassy community.
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.560
Um yeah, it's it's pretty straightforward application.
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:56.080
It's it's very much like uh the apps that exist for restaurants like Belly um or or Letterbox for movies, but you go in there, you rate golf courses, and uh you see what other people rate courses and trying to curate that community right now and and uh all that other stuff that goes along with building applications, but but yeah.
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:02.800
So what made you decide okay, this hasn't been done right?
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:04.000
I'm gonna do it right.
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.520
What what was the turning point?
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.560
Because Jeremy, welcome to the show, Jeremy.
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:20.319
Uh, when when I sent the link to Jeremy and he checked it out, he goes, I don't know I'll have to bring up the message, but he's like, I'm crying right now because I've been wanting to do this for so long, and he nailed it.
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.680
I actually have talked about it before.
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.800
Yeah, oh no way, yeah, seriously.
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:36.319
And we and it started because of the podcast rankings, and then I was chatting with uh Mike from Beautiful Golf Courses about it, and he's like, This is awesome, man.
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.719
You could expand it, do like the top 100 or whatever.
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.639
And then I and Matt sent the message over.
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.800
I'm like, yeah, this is completely this is completely different than what I was thinking.
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.879
This is like it's every point.
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.120
So I was excited to see it.
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:50.400
Thank you.
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:50.960
Yeah.
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:56.000
Um, yeah, it's it's it's been kind of it's been a kind of crazy ride.
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:05.680
Um, you'd be surprised, or maybe not surprised, um, given your own experience, but surprised at how many people after launching the app, I launched it in August.
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:14.000
Um, how many people DM'd me, whether it was on social media or on LinkedIn, being like, I had the same idea.
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.480
Like, you know, like I'm like cool, like that's sick.
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.759
Yeah, I it wasn't like intentional or anything.
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:27.040
Like um, it was really I I wanted to build the app for myself, built it out.
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.319
I was like, there's not really anything that exists quite like it yet.
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:41.759
Um, so I just made it in about four weeks of programming and launched it, and you know, luckily it's been having a little bit of love from the community, which has been really nice to see.
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:51.040
So, how long how long did it take you to from I'd say pen to paper to you know logging in for the first time?
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.959
Uh to the V1 of the app, it was probably less than three weeks.
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:00.720
Um yeah.
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:06.480
That's like one it's one of like especially with all the AI uh coding applications out there.
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.560
It's really it's really easy to bring MVPs to market.
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:23.199
Um so yeah, it was I was sitting in a coffee shop and I was just I was dealing with a bunch of other stuff, um, you know, building out other projects that weren't really catching anything.
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:33.839
Um and I was just thinking about what I what I'd want and you know that I've been really, you know, enjoying all the golf I've was playing at that time.
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.759
And I was like, oh, you know, F it.
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:36.959
I'll just I'll just build it.
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.360
It doesn't exist and we'll see what happens.
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:40.639
And yeah.
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.439
So how's the real quick for everybody that's here?
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.839
There is a giveaway that is live on the app.
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:49.519
Is that still live, Jacob?
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:51.839
Okay, so giving away at quantum.
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.000
Yes, is it is live.
00:05:54.160 --> 00:06:06.000
So we I oh I ran a poll um a couple weeks ago uh for the community to vote on what which driver we're gonna give away, and the quantum max was the number one.
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.040
Um and so I went to the PJ Superstore yesterday and bought that thing.
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.759
And uh yeah, that the giveaway is now live.
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.439
You can go and enroll, um, completely free to enroll on it.
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.519
Um it rewards you for you know using the app daily.
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:28.800
I'm not sure if you guys have seen that yet, but you know, the higher your your daily check-ins are, the the more entries you'll get.
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:37.839
Um, you know, right now I'm focusing a lot on growing the application so you can get entries by referring your friends, um, etc.
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:44.959
But yeah, it's it's uh it's we had we gave away a lab DF3 about you know two months ago.
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.240
And that was a crazy, that was a crazy experience, you know.
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:55.279
It's similar to the how how the app started from you know, just an idea and just throwing it out there.
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.319
The giveaway kind of started the same way with the lab.
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.120
I was like, I'll just do a giveaway and see if it works.
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:13.680
So then did that a few months ago and making some YouTube videos and some TikTok videos for it, um, caught a little bit of attention, you know, 30,000, 10,000 views.
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.439
Um and it just kind of started to roll into itself.
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:21.759
And I had no expectations for it when we did that first giveaway.
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:27.040
Um, it had, you know, I was like maybe, maybe 15, 20 people will join it.
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:31.199
Um, but you know, by the end of it, I think over 100 people joined.
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.399
Um, a user out of San Diego ended up winning it.
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.639
Um it had a bug with the win at the final last second.
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.839
When if you ever watch the video on my page, you can see like the giveaway page crashes.
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.319
I'm like, oh my god, because it's all live too.
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.120
Um, but you know, that's just a quantum too.
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.319
500 plus in PJ Superstore and Grassy gift cards.
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.480
So there's a lot of what not people in here.
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:55.759
So you guys know what to do.
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.639
You share it and uh share with everybody, and you could you could win.
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.600
Uh yeah, yeah, gonna break my bank off this one.
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.800
So you'll be fine.
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:10.800
There's different levels.
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.800
You do have some uh uh options to pay for services.
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:26.879
So break down because there's the free version, and then you break down the different levels and what the advantages are for being a part of that side of it.
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:27.920
Yeah.
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.680
Um, so 99% of the app is free to use.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.879
It's you go, you can rank courses, create your collection.
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.840
Kind of, I think one of the coolest things is seeing your course maps, you can see all the places around the world that you've played.
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:41.360
Yeah, very cool.
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:52.639
Um, and uh, so you know, I I've got to figure out a way for this to somehow support and paste some support, some support myself.
00:08:52.720 --> 00:09:00.879
So I was you know just thinking about different ideas to um you know add even more value um that I can make as pro features.
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:08.879
Um and so I built out an ML map algorithm that takes in all of the courses that you rated and you know the scores that you give in it.
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:23.600
It looks at the courses elevation, it looks at your score, it looks at your friends' ratings, it looks at whether it's close to bodies of water, um, all this different data points on these courses that you've rated, and then it will recommend courses for you.
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.200
Um, so that's kind of the main thing that the Pro Feature is doing right now.
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:31.759
Um, you can get two X entries on Raffles too, which is a nice feature.
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:41.679
Um But the main thing that I'm trying to build out is building out, you know, better ways for you to discover new courses, new gems around you that you would actually love.
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.600
Um and and just kind of rolling with that.
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:47.519
Nice.
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:48.000
Okay.
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:49.600
Questions for you.
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:50.559
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.559
Why only five photos?
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:54.720
Why only five photos?
00:09:54.960 --> 00:10:05.919
Oh, that was uh that's a that's uh that's that's uh only a product of me that being one of the things that I built five three months ago and haven't updated now.
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:11.360
Haven't updated and and no one's asked me to increase that photo count until right now.
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:12.480
So okay.
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:13.440
There we go.
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.799
That's that's already that'll be added to the to-do list.
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.720
I take a lot of photos from courses, especially if it's one I've never played.
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:29.679
Uh so uh I filtering through my photos, I like I did updated or I rated uh Banditrails, my favorite golf course on the planet.
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.639
And I'm like, yeah, how can I pick five photos?
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.840
There's you know, I have 36 that I want to share.
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.639
And I know it's a you know server issue, probably you don't want to have too much on there.
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:43.120
Um no, um more the photos, the better.
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:49.039
I just didn't know that I you know, I just for me I take maybe one or two photos, but that's good to know, you know.
00:10:49.279 --> 00:11:00.080
I the thing with with the application is it I don't know what people want unless they tell me directly, or if I go on and reach out and and uh ask for it.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:10.559
Um, and luckily people have been bugging me about it, and so this is one of those cases where I'm like, okay, add it to the to-do list, increase the photo count because you know it makes sense.
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:23.200
Yeah, you're you're out there taking as many photos as you can because you're possibly on a one-time life or you know, few time life experience where you're on these amazing courses um with amazing landscapes.
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:24.639
So that's good to know.
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:34.480
One thing that I've really enjoyed is a lot of times when you have a golf app, you have to participate in the app while you're playing.
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:36.960
And yeah, like uh 18 birdies.
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:42.879
I'm I'm a loyal supporter of 18 birdies because I've been using it forever, and that's how I do my score entries.
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:59.440
And you know, I have over 400 played on there, and I don't want to get rid of that, so I'm still yeah, but they also have a photo share feature, but to do that, you have to be playing around, you have to be at the course, you have to upload it while you're there, and it's just and it never really took off.
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:12.240
What I like about this is I'm sitting on the couch, and you know, I'll bring up my like last night, bring up my band and trails cat uh album, and I'm just sitting there and I'm like, Oh, let's you know, type something fun about it.
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:21.200
So it's a nice way to you know have some memories and go back and and talk about a place that you love, and then you get to rate it and the rankings.
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:23.600
It's it's I mean, you're doing a fantastic job.
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.799
Yeah, thank you.
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:25.519
Appreciate it.
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:32.559
Yeah, one of those things is you can just nerd out, like it's like my Instagram is basically all golf, right?
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.919
So, like I left my personal, you know what I mean?
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:40.240
So I left my personal, I haven't logged in in what four or five years or something like that.
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:49.440
I'll pop in again and I'm out right back out to the hit and greens account and just because it's all golf, it's curated for what I want to see.
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:58.240
Um, and it's like you can go there and maybe you're just scrolling through and you see some dude in Indiana playing somewhere, and like, oh, that looks sick.
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:07.200
And then you can nerd out and and research, and you're like, hey, we tag all your buddies or whatever, and then just be like, hey, we gotta get out there, you know what I mean?
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:07.919
Uh-huh.
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:09.440
Yeah, definitely.
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:15.200
But yeah, but to touch on both your guys' points, like um, to start with you, Matt, right?
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:23.679
When you talked about 18 birdies, um I thought I people a lot asked me, like, are you gonna do um anything like 18 birdies?
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:27.840
And I'm like, that's completely a different scope of what we're trying to achieve here.
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:36.240
Yeah, like this is not this is not a like your live golf tracking GPS app, you know, 18 birdies is already killing the game and people love it.
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:40.320
You know, that's not something that we're even trying or thinking of stepping into.
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:50.720
We want to focus on what you're doing off the course and you know, sharing that experience with your friends, um, discovering new courses, you know, all the all the above.
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.360
Um, and then Joe, right?
00:13:53.519 --> 00:14:08.320
Like um I feel like social media in general, whether it's TikTok talk or YouTube or Instagram or YouTube, like there's so much going on in the world, and you know, and so much, you know, I I think I could end it there.
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.600
I'm just gonna stop it there.
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:10.080
Right.
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:39.039
Um that you don't want to like you don't care about care about hearing, care about seeing, like you just want to go and look at some cool golf courses and like yeah, and that's one thing that drives me crazy about Instagram is yeah, you're sitting there and you get inundated with this just nonsense, but then something hits you, and you're like, oh, and then like 30 minutes later, I got an Amazon delivery for an ad that I saw because it was trying to nerd out on golf.
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:40.960
You know, it's it's crazy.
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:41.840
Exactly.
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:58.399
And uh these big companies are always trying to manipulate you, and you know, I think there's you know, with Grassy, I think it's a it's could be one of the starts of these like micro medias where you're just on this one platform where you're only looking to get you know golf content.
00:14:58.639 --> 00:14:59.600
That's all I want.
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:05.840
Yeah, it's a microcosm of yeah, you know, the niche that you're doing, which I like exactly.
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.720
I guess there's there's a lot of golf nerds out there.
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:09.840
There's a lot of golf.
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.399
There's a lot of us, there's a lot of us.
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:22.240
Definitely intimidated coming on this podcast, seeing how much you guys have like have been able to talk about, you know, from courses to all the above.
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:27.600
I'm like, all right, you know, hopefully I can it's one of the best things though, man.
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.960
It's like you're you're you're helping capture the moment.
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:41.279
Like for me, uh you know, we love we love experiencing new golf courses and like capturing the moment and and doing it for the moment because you know, we can't do it all the time.
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:50.799
So when we can, we we we try and enjoy it, and it's like kind of bringing it back and putting it on paper, if you will.
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:52.799
Um, yeah, yeah, I love it.
00:15:53.519 --> 00:16:03.840
I I guess like to kind of ask you guys it's just a question, like I know you guys kind of touched on a little bit, but uh what what kind of was that like click for you guys with Grassy?
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:09.120
Like, where was it where you're like, okay, I want to use this and want to keep using it?
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.720
For me, it was it was a couple things.
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:19.120
It was being able to rank the course, you know, and then and seeing your list of your ranked courses.
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:34.399
Um, but then the the bucket list was sick because interesting all the time, all the time in our group chat for us here on the podcast, Dan or Jeremy or Joe will we'll send a link going, check this place out, it's sick.
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.000
And then we look at it like, oh man, that's sick, you know, and we'll follow the course.
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.600
But you know, two months later, try to remember what that was.
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.320
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:47.919
You know, and especially if it's not like like well, rodeo that you know, rodeo dunes is really predominant right now.
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:58.080
You know, that's on your forefront, but that little course that we found in Indiana that was sick that none of us are gonna remember three months from now.
00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:00.960
I'm not gonna forget it now because now it's on my bucket list.
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:02.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:09.359
Yeah, well, when you rank the ranking part too, I what I really like is is uh how how you map it out.
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:32.799
So not only not only can you you know get some good intel on on how these courses are ranked, but also it can help you like plan a boys' trip because you can look at the cities and go see how these people have posted about all these dope courses that are around, you know, uh Indiana, for instance, or whatever, you know, like you can use that information to plan you know a sick golf trip.
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:40.799
And I think for me, because I'm I'm a I'm a big golf trip geek right now, but uh for me, that's that's that was the the hook for me.
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:41.920
Oh, cool.
00:17:42.160 --> 00:18:11.119
Yeah, and uh I I hope to implement a feature soon, and you know, I mean there's AI everywhere, but like I think it'd be really cool to implement a feature where you can just chat to like a caddy AI and grassy and be like based off of all the like my ratings and stuff, like where should I golf this weekend, or where if I want to go on a trip to you know Southern California, um what what top courses based off of my preferences should I be going to?
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:17.359
Um so hopefully we can see something like that soon, you know, and help help the whole trip planning stuff.
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.039
Yeah, that would be amazing.
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:26.960
Yeah, I I I have an idea I want to run by you to see, yeah, because this is right after because I saw the groups, right?
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:29.680
Yeah, that was a new a new thing I added.
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.720
I'm still waiting for Joe and Jeremy to be on there so I can create.
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:34.400
Did you create Henderson?
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.880
No, I thought I I think I just joined um Henderson group.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:39.440
Henderson.
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:44.960
So this is what I want to know if is possible, and you can tell me since you're the developer, and you can let me know.
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.160
And this is something I would totally pay for if we could do this.
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:54.079
So uh, because Joe has Joe has a completely different viewpoint on golf courses than me.
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:55.759
Same with Dan and Joe.
00:18:55.839 --> 00:19:00.960
We we all have different opinions, but there are some things that we really see that we like, you know.
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.319
Um, I uh so this is what I was brainstorming.
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:18.079
If yeah two of us or three of us rank a course, uh, then it goes to a CDP page that in Grassy that says this is what Chasing Daylight thought about this, you know, boom, boom, boom.
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:25.279
So that way we can, you know, kind of work with you guys and uh say like like when we we go to band in.
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:33.119
So you can go on there and you can go to the chasing daylight page and see what all four guys thought of the band courses that they played.
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:34.960
Um does that make sense?
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:41.440
Like you like, like there would be like the chasing daylight check for each course.
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:42.400
Is that what you're saying?
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:53.279
Yeah, but it it wouldn't like the course wouldn't show up until at least two or three of us have rated it on on the CDP page that people could view.
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:57.839
What he's getting at is is that we do a yearly ranking, right?
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:00.400
But it's localized to Las Vegas.
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:17.279
So if we could do it like globally or global, hopefully global at one point when we get the funds, uh to where we can you know have like uh you know uh an earth view of our rankings is what he's saying.
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:18.240
Oh okay.
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.720
So let me try to see if I I understand.
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:43.200
And we can do this off air too, so don't yeah, you don't have to get too nitty-gritty, but but if I can kind of condense what you're saying, um like instead of having your own profile page, you'll have your own profile page, but there would be a chasing daylight page that once you know X number of you rate one course, it shows up as a chasing daylight rating.
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:44.400
Yes, exactly.
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:45.599
Ranking, ranking, yeah.
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:46.720
Is that what you're saying?
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:48.400
Like is that kind of yeah, yep.
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:50.400
No, that sounds that sounds better than I guess.
00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:51.680
That sounds sick.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.119
That sounds sick.
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.160
Um, most people don't play golf by themselves, right?
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:59.599
And we try to play with each other as much as we can and we go on trips.
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:05.519
And like if you had your four boys or eight boys and you were in a group, you know what I mean?
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:09.359
Yeah, you know, we went to we went to Arizona and played a couple privates last year.
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:10.559
We went to Nebraska.
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.160
Well, Dan didn't come with us, but we're going back.
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.279
Playing privates, yeah, playing private.
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:24.640
Um, you know, we go to uh California all the time, we go to Bandon, you know, we and we've played a bunch of different courses that you know aren't on the mainstream that I think it would be awesome.
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:27.359
You know, hey, this is what the CDP guys thought of this.
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:31.279
And you don't have to go, oh, let me go find Jeremy's page, oh let me go find Matt's page.
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:32.000
What did he think?
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:33.680
You could just go to that one.
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.160
Oh, like it wouldn't even have to come like combine the scores into one score.
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:43.039
You're just saying to show up, like you guys own this page and it's all your all your guys' ratings there.
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:48.400
Yeah, but it's the the course wouldn't show up until we have you know more than one person.
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:50.240
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:50.640
I get it.
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:52.240
We're on the same page, okay.
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:54.079
No, I love that idea.
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:59.759
Um and let and that could the funny thing is like anything.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:01.200
Is is fair game.
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:09.039
Like that could like I can with whatever is like being pushed the most by the community, is what I'm gonna develop.
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:11.599
And I think that's a great idea, right?
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.839
Um I mean I've I developed the whole thing myself, right?
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:20.880
And I I mean the whole thing is me, and then my girlfriend Jessie may be seen on some of our TikToks.
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:24.400
Um, and you know, my family members helping me out here and there.
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:31.200
Um, but uh in terms of what what gets made, it's like all right, what do people want?
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:35.519
Let's and then like let's make it right, hopefully get it out as soon as possible.
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:41.200
So um, like a feature like that, something that I didn't like I wouldn't even know that people would want.
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.279
And obviously it makes a lot of sense, and it sounds like a sick feature.
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:53.119
Like, obviously, yeah, that's uh that's gonna be into the uh every course is every course has a men's league, right?
00:22:53.359 --> 00:23:06.000
Every course, yeah, uh every every city has uh some sort of league, you know, like there's SNGA, there's uh SNG or uh Southern California, Nevada California.
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:08.000
You know what I mean?
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:16.480
And you get them in the groups, and then they could see where they've played, and if somebody matched up, then it gives them an opportunity to be like, Hey, you played that course?
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:17.680
I didn't know that.
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:18.799
What did you think about it?
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:21.759
And it engages conversation with them as well, you know what I mean.
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:23.680
So can you love that?
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:27.039
Can you search a course now and see what people have rated it?
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:28.799
Yes.
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:35.759
Um, you will have to invite one friend, I believe, in order to unlock what the grassy ratings are.
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:44.240
Um, but assuming that you did, you should be able to search any course, and as long as there's ratings on it, you'll see what people have have rated it.
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:49.039
Um let me see if I could just pull one up quickly for you to see.
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:57.759
Um, say if I go to let's say Torrey Pines uh North Course, hopefully more than one for yeah.
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.000
Oh, I think North course here.
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:08.400
Um you can see uh it's not really that clear, but you can see my rating, that my friends' rating, and the grassy score.
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:21.440
Um, and then if you scroll down, uh you'll be able to see what other people have said about the course, whether they posted pictures, their ratings, um, there's my rating, uh, etc.
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:22.079
on that stuff.
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:22.720
Nice.
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:25.920
So I like to predict it too, what we think you'd rate it.
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:27.599
Yeah, that's a new feature.
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:29.039
That's a new feature.
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:36.240
Yeah, so that that uses the same algorithm on of the uh predict of the uh suggesting courses to for you.
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:42.319
Um and it uses all those to you know predict what you what we think you'd like, how you think you like it.
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:46.160
Uh so yeah, that that's a that just came out maybe a few days ago.
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:47.200
So nice.
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:49.359
New things are constantly rolling out.
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:54.160
Uh I see on here book a time, website, call directions.
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:58.319
How how is that how difficult was that to get implemented?
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:08.000
Um, I mean, those buttons themselves are obviously easy, but the data it's was extremely difficult.
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:25.599
Um, and this is something that uh I think the app is still struggles with um is getting as many correct golf courses in the application as possible with all the correct website data, you know, scorecard data.
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:37.200
I wish, I don't know, hope maybe somebody from 18 Birdies is on here listening and they can help me out figure out where they got all their data or maybe share that data database with me.
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:50.160
Um but um I used all the US uh the USGA, yeah, the USGA um database, you know, wherever you put your gin in um to get all that information.
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:51.519
And so that's where that came from.
00:25:51.599 --> 00:26:11.200
And then just like a more on a more technical side, um, when you have like an address, uh like Apple Maps has a thing called an SDK where it's implemented into the actual application and they can read from that address, and if that has a phone number and website, it will be uh filled in automatically, yeah, from there.
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:17.200
Um but yeah, there's definitely still bugs everywhere, including that section.
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:26.079
Um, you know, getting all that website data is is definitely difficult, um, especially for for a one-man team.
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:27.440
Dude, you're killing it.
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:28.559
Yeah, killing it.
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:29.599
I appreciate it.
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.880
Yeah, I appreciate it.
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:31.519
Yeah.
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:33.680
Another another question.
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:41.279
So I was as I was going through the Vegas stuff today, uh, we I don't know if you know what's going on in Vegas, but we're losing golf courses.
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:41.839
Yeah.
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:44.559
Like crazy around here because of all the water stuff.
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:46.160
So Royal Lynx was on there.
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:47.279
I'm not familiar.
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:50.400
Yeah, uh, Royal Lynx was on there and that place closed down.
00:26:50.559 --> 00:27:00.240
And it's like I was like, man, I really want to rate Royal Lynx because I've got some good photos of it and it was a really fun course, but it's not there anymore.
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:07.200
So are you are you going to have courses that are closed?
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:14.079
Or is there something where you could like put on their course no longer open type thing?
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.480
Yeah, like someone make the rip list.
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:26.319
Yeah, so um yeah, um I think I think I think I'll I as of right now, right?
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:38.720
Things are always up for change, but as of right now, I don't think the right move would be to remove them because I think if you played it and had that memory there, you should be able to mark it on your map and yeah, keep that forever.
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:40.559
Let's go.
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:47.599
But uh as you can see, there's in some courses you can see that there's like a private label or a public label.
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:59.039
I think uh once I have time, it's I think it's literally if once I have time, I'll I'll uh that can be changed to um you know a closed.
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:02.799
Um and then uh it can be updated that way.
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:10.480
What Adrian said, yeah, uh guess you're supportive who add information and people to verify, yeah.
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:17.839
I mean it would be nice to have somebody, some like people to be like, hey, this course is no longer open, you know.
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:24.799
But these are right, these are the experiences that happened here and moments happened in this location, and you can go back and employ them.
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:32.319
And that's what I love, that's what I liked about because I was like, man, I really, I really want to do this, but I didn't know if it if I do it, is it gonna be there?
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:35.279
Is it still gonna be there once you find out the course is gone?
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:41.279
Yeah, uh, there's no there's no program in my back end that says to remove a course yet.
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:42.400
So nice.
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:45.200
Uh hey, Quinn has made an appearance on the show.
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:46.880
That's adorable.
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:51.119
Joe is Jacob, Jacob, real quick.
00:28:51.200 --> 00:29:02.880
I know, you know, I know I know all this is relatively new, but uh any thoughts of maybe uh maybe doing um like booking tea times, like a like a mobile booking engine or something through the site.
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:10.799
Yeah, so when when Grassi first launched, and I was like, how the heck is this thing ever gonna make money?
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:21.839
The first like I think the the obvious comes to mind is like, okay, you know, it's a course discovery, like you can figure out how to make a T time, like integrate T time or make a T time booking software.
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:31.599
Um and that was on the like on the docket for a while of doing a lot of research and development into that.
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:50.720
Um and I can tell you a little bit of a story about um that experience um and what I learned at least from you know my own research was that most of the T Time booking softwares and are owned by Golf Now, even if it's not labeled as GolfNow.
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:57.039
Um like until there's T there's you're you're muted by the way, Joe, if you're trying to talk about it.
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:00.799
So it it goes through golf now for the most part, right?
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:06.559
Um yeah, it's like all the same thing, like they're all like subsidiaries of it.
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:15.359
So like golf now is obviously golf now, and then there's like tea up or and which is also just golf now, and there's another one that is also just golf now.
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:43.599
Um, and so you know, we I mean, I applied to the uh they have like a an a like a uh a partner program, um applied to it, you know, sent them emails, you know, every day at one point, um just trying to get someone to respond, even called them, and there was just nothing like okay, like looking it's looking like pretty like it's not gonna happen.
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:54.799
And and um and then you know, a few months ago later, and then I get an email saying that you know, unfortunately we're not accepted into this program that they have.
00:30:55.039 --> 00:31:00.400
Um yeah, and so that yeah, and so I mean they're he they're owned by NBC.
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.279
So um, you know, it's small golf.
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:04.559
NBC.
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:06.079
They're doing okay.
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:23.359
Yeah, they don't really they don't really care or pay much attention to a small small apps, but you know, as we as you go larger, maybe we can integrate with them or another competitor to them, but yeah, um T Times is is still like on the top of my mind.
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:25.839
I would like to book it right on grassy if I could.
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:26.880
Yeah, um yeah.
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:49.920
It it's it would just be uh, you know, if I could if I eventually you know raise funds for this this startup or you know have a team big enough where I can actually do um outreach to golf courses because that will require you know doing sales and building out that whole other software and right um which you know I'm I'm not opposed to doing, right?
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:59.039
It's just uh a lot to would be a lot to do um right now when there's so much to already do just on building out the social platform itself.
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:09.680
Um yeah, so I mean if a if a company is listening right now that that runs uh one of these booking softwares and wants to integrate, please hit me up because I'd love to do that.
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:15.519
Um but to answer your question, Dan, yes, like that's that's what I wanted to do and still want to do.
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:19.680
Um just not sure when that will happen.
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:20.640
Understood.
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:23.839
Yeah, I would love to know more about that situation too.
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:30.880
Like you're talking about most of golf now because yeah, you know, I have friends come in town and they're like, hey, can we play here?
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:35.839
Um yeah, wherever course that it shows there's a 9 a.m.
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:44.400
T time, and I go to the to the courses uh because we get the local rate or we call or and they're like no, that's not available.
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:51.440
So I mean, is that a is that like uh some company buys it and they hold it and try and write?
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:52.319
That's what I'm thinking.
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.400
I don't want to know more of it.
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.720
Yeah, I yeah, it it's interesting, right?
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:03.279
There's like a course by me, uh it's a muni called uh Los Verdes.
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:09.279
I'm not sure if you've ever played it, um, but it's a muni out in in uh in LA technically.
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:15.440
Um and their tea times get all bought up like the minute it's released.
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:19.759
And and uh yeah, I mean what was going on there, wasn't there?
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:20.960
Wasn't like some Korean game.
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:23.200
So yeah, there was a Korean game.
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:24.480
Yeah.
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:25.839
Shout out Dave Finks.
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:31.279
As far as as far as I heard, I heard the same thing as well, but I I have no idea.
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:39.359
Um and I don't know, it's interesting because it's like, okay, do these teetime softwares really care if they're still making their money at the end of the day?
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:44.240
Uh you know, yeah, probably not, but but yeah.
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:49.200
Um but yeah, there's there's so many there's so many features I want to add.
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:51.119
Um, run them down.
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:52.720
Let's hear what do you want to add?
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:57.200
I don't know, put on right on the spot.
00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:19.199
Um like off the top of my head, um I wanna I want to add like a map that shows like a heat map um of where we think based off of that ML algorithm, um where like the spots either where you're looking at on the map or around the world, like we think that you'll actually enjoy golfing.
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:22.559
Um so that's that's one I was really considering making.
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:36.320
And then I mentioned it earlier was that AI chat bot that can take in all your data um and you can talk about it, um talk to it about um your own ratings or even live tour data.
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:45.440
I think it'd be cool just to be like who's uh like who's like rank going up the leaderboard right now at a fast rate or you know who's hot right now, etc.
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:47.760
Um yeah.
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:54.880
What is there uh I may have missed this, but is there a spot where you can put in the date you played it?
00:34:56.639 --> 00:35:06.320
No, I don't think there is besides putting it right in the notes, the notes section of it, there is not currently a spot to like mark when you played it.
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:08.480
But there will be there can be.
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:25.199
I haven't put any of the dates when I played, and I was thinking that like, oh man, that might be helpful because you know, courses do have renovations, they go under certain things, and it may have a shitty rating, and they this great reno, and it's great now, and it would poorly reflect that because the dates not on there.
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:27.199
Yeah, I completely agree.
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:39.199
I think that was now that you mentioned it, I think that was brought up someone brought it up to me before it was like, okay, I can see the rating and I can see what they how they liked it, but when when did they actually play the course?
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:41.920
Yeah, and that that would be valuable information.
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:46.400
So um yeah, that can die that could definitely be added as well.
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:48.400
So many things to add.
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.159
So many things, so many things to add, but yeah.
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:54.559
Oh, here we go.
00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:57.760
Okay, because Matthew Man, right?
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:11.840
So um I think I think a great feature if you have not thought about it, um, is if you can um mine the data to find out where free fittings are near you, right?
00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:16.239
Like Callaway, Tailormade, Ping, wherever, because Matt's a fitter for Callaway.
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:22.400
If you can mine the data from their websites, like there's a free fitting near you.
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.840
Go see these guys if you're interested in getting fit for Callaway or TailorMade or Ping.
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:34.159
And throw a link out there where you can schedule that fitting.
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:40.000
Yeah, I guess because the only way to really hear about that is if you get that news directly from them, right?
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:40.880
Or you're searching for it.
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:42.159
You'd have to go to their website.
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:46.079
They I mean they don't promote it, they honestly don't promote it, really, not on their Instagram.
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:46.960
You leave the courses.
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:55.920
So it's course, or you go to their website if you're interested in like free fittings near you.
00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:56.880
Boom.
00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:01.440
Yeah, because honestly, yeah, no, that's a great idea at the end of the day, you know what I mean?
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:06.559
So yeah, Matt's over here, like, I dude, I was I was I was gonna have a chill day.
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:08.639
He didn't think of that one, he didn't think of that one.
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:09.519
I love it.
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:15.199
I'm I hey, I'm gonna start posting it on on on on just on my feed, you know.
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:23.760
Hey, we got a fitting advance here, so that's kind of that's kind of what I'm hoping Grassy becomes, is like like you could.
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:25.840
Oh, I don't know if Matt froze there.
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.079
Um, but I got you back.
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:28.960
I got you back.
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:39.519
Um, but like for like whether it's you know you're doing a fitting Matt and you post about it, that people in your area can see that and um you know hit you up directly.
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:45.599
Like, there's no way to really hit message a fitter right now, um, or to even communicate.
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:50.639
And you know, that can go for um if you're a golf instructor as well.
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:56.159
How do you get yourself out there, you know, if if it just in general, how do you get yourself out there?
00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:56.960
I don't I don't know.
00:37:57.039 --> 00:37:58.880
Like, do you have to go buy Instagram ads?
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:02.320
Like that's not ideal, you know, that's not ideal.
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:25.679
Um like I I I hope Grazi becomes a place where people can share those type of things um and get real communication and real in-life experiences from them, you know, whether it is a fitting or whether it's discovering a new instructor by you who's you know got a lot of good ratings, and um yeah.
00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:32.880
And for me, it's it's trying to curate and get good content on the platform, right?
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:51.199
Like I'm loving all the posts you're doing, Matt, because you're posting amazing photos, and that makes the platform extremely like content rich, um, making it much more enjoyable for you know new new years users, existing users to actually go and scroll the feed.
00:38:51.440 --> 00:39:02.719
Um like one of the things that I I enjoy the most is just going down the for you page and just looking at some cool golf courses and yeah, crazy clubhouses I didn't even know existed.
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:13.360
Like I'm like, where this this golf course in the middle of, you know, I don't know, Kentucky has like an insane course with like a you know, I'm like, whoa.
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:24.800
And then I I find myself more often than not commenting added to the bucket list because I I didn't know that there would be so many insane gems out there, right?
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:26.400
Right, like yeah, there's so many gems.
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:29.920
There's so many gems out there, and you'd never know about it.
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:35.679
You'd never know about it, like the golf now photo or the Google Photos photo, like you don't like they're horrible.
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:37.360
No, you're not gonna look at that.
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:48.880
Well, my home course is Revere, and their website and their social media post pictures from 20 years ago when there was no houses and it was just a desert, and it doesn't even look like the same golf course, yeah.
00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:50.400
Yeah, exactly.
00:39:50.639 --> 00:40:03.519
And so, you know, I can I'm just hoping that you know, there a lot of interesting and and really rich content are shared of the platform, and I hope people feel encouraged to share it.
00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:13.199
Um, and you know, trying to foster the community to be you know supportive and be like a fun place to be.
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:17.840
Um you know, it's just like on top of it all, right?
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:18.719
It was funny.
00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:23.920
I I did see somebody like some some some account be kind of a troll recently.
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:25.920
I'm like, what the heck's going on here?
00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:27.519
Is there's already a troll on here?
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:28.880
There you go.
00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:32.800
Yeah, you're only as only as good as your best troll.
00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:36.239
All right, you're only as good as your best troll.
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:39.679
Hey, we had uh Kyle ask a question here.
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:41.440
He said, Can you update your ratings?
00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:42.800
Can you add pics later?
00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:44.880
What happens with future ratings?
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:55.679
Yeah, so um if you read a if you write a course right now, um and you you you can update it, and if you do update it right now, it updates that same post.
00:40:55.920 --> 00:41:04.239
But after 24 hours, if you rate make another rating, could be just like the next day, you maybe you will play it again and felt differently, um, it will create a whole new post.
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:08.400
Um, but that rating does get replaced on your ranked list.
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:22.719
Um but on that course, you but your right now the your posts that are automatically created are kind of your timeline in a way of the history of how you felt about it.
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:34.320
Um so yeah, you can update you can update those ratings, but you know, your posts are going to be kind of how you look at your opinion changing on that course over time.
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:34.800
Yeah.
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:36.880
Um hopefully that answers that.
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:39.280
I mean, you can update it and update photos, etc.
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:54.320
Well, it'd be it'd be cool too, like if uh like a renovation, uh you know, a course that like completely changes the green complex and you're in love with it now and you have a photo of before and after, you know, it's a great way to to have that in your timeline to see it.
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:56.159
Yeah, exactly.
00:41:56.400 --> 00:42:05.840
And yeah, and Joe, looking at like your your your wall, your wall of golf balls, like that's I think that's like kind of also the gist of what grassy is in a way, as well.
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:11.920
So many more right here, too, that I gotta find somewhere to put like the same amount right here.
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:16.559
Those are from courses I've played, so I gotta box right here too.
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:18.320
I gotta figure out what to do with.
00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:23.199
Like, I'm hoping Grassy also is that in a way, like your digital verge version of that.
00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:24.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:26.639
Um digital wallets, bro.
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:27.199
They're coming.
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:28.239
I'll tell you that much.
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:40.880
Yeah, and um, and I don't know if you guys have played Pokemon or or whatever, but another feature I was thinking of making is like a Pokedex of golf courses, right?
00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:53.360
Um, where you try to collect collect them all, all your local ones, all the all the PGA tour ones, and like you get like new badges if you if you played all the courses that are currently on tour now.
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:54.400
And I like it.
00:42:56.159 --> 00:43:00.079
Yeah, it's a lot of cool things, but I I have one more left in Vegas.
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:01.679
One more left in Vegas.
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:05.039
Not a ton of desire to go there, but I have one more.
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:12.719
So to kind of touch on that, is it because they're mainly like private courses that you need to have a member invite you to, or you just have no?
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:19.920
I have to go play goat track that's on the other side of town, and it's just like you know, it's like hey, it's Saturday morning, I get to go play golf.
00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:21.519
Do I really want to go play?
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:23.360
That's so fair.
00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:25.519
So much time to play good golf.
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:27.199
Do you really want to go play a shit course?
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:28.800
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:30.400
Yeah, it'll happen.
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:31.840
I gotta do it.
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:32.960
I gotta do it.
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:34.559
Yeah, you gotta get that rating in.
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:36.400
Gotta fucking and what do you got left?
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:38.480
When the win.
00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:39.440
That's the only course I ever.
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:41.039
I got win and summit.
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:45.039
Um, but I played the DI before the win, so that's kind of yeah.
00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:46.480
I played the DI too.
00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:47.280
Closed.
00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:48.159
I'm jealous.
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:50.639
I have not played any of the Vegas courses yet.
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:51.119
What?
00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:53.840
I hope to eventually come out, bro.
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:54.880
Yeah, you're not too far.
00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:55.920
It's hard.
00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:56.800
It's hard.
00:43:57.039 --> 00:43:59.760
It's hard when you're when you're a uh a broke developer.
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:05.920
You know, you just like those courses can can can cost a pretty penny.
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:06.800
Yeah, that's true.
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:07.039
Yeah.
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:10.400
Was was when like$400 for a round?
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:11.599
Uh a little bit more than that.
00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:12.639
$600.
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:19.199
Once there's enough pro subscribers, I'll I'll let you guys know.
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:24.320
Yeah, I played it twice, but I paid$250 the first time and it was free the second time.
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:26.719
So that's a great average.
00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:29.920
Joe?
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.639
No, I I I was busy at work today.
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:34.639
I I download the app and everything.
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:57.440
Um, I have not ranked anything yet, and that's where I'm gonna struggle because they're all they're all so different, and there's also there's so many moments that happen at each one, and like that's where I'm gonna struggle a lot because like is it yeah, you know, and I'm a huge golf course architecture guy, and yeah, and I'm a huge moments guy, you know what I mean?
00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:00.480
Like what happened during the round, like how memorable was it?
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:01.440
So that's where I'm gonna struggle.
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:04.719
That's gonna take that's that's another one, Joe feature.
00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:12.800
We always talk about how the PGA tour never does a good enough job about talking about the golf course, yeah.
00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:19.280
Oh, yeah, they'll have their quick little 30-minute segment as I come out of commercial saying architecture redesign design, blah blah blah.
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:30.480
Yeah, but that would be you know, if you had a spot on the golf course to where you could say open here, architecture here, redesign here, that would be that would be sick.
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:46.000
Yeah, I mean, I think nerding out about like why holes were designed the way they were, or like who made it and when and why, is a whole part of golf that is skipped over, I feel, for some reason.
00:45:46.159 --> 00:46:06.400
Like you only really get it if you watch maybe some you read in a magazine or if you watch some video like YouTube videos where I you know I I'm sure you guys have heard of um of uh Eric Anders Lang and and the uh and his community, and the videos that they put out, what's their what's their club called again?
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:07.920
Um random golf club.
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:09.920
Random golf club.
00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:17.519
Um like the productions that they put out, and same with like manner's golf is I've never wanted to play Iceland so bad in my life.
00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:23.840
It's like holy shit, like their whole launch of the club collection.
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:28.480
They killed marketing team, raise, raise, raise, we need more money.
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:36.559
Yeah, they're crushing it, and they tell like there's so much stories to be told about all these different courses around the world.
00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:50.639
It's yeah, it's it's it's invigorating, it's it's exciting, and you know, hopefully, you know, along with Grassy, we see that story, those stories being told, you know, a little bit more, and uh, you know, people just sharing that more.
00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:53.199
So, how much golf are you playing right now?
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:55.760
Here's the funniest thing.
00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:59.679
After watching Grassy, I played the least amount of golf in my life.
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:00.960
I'm sure you do.
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:05.760
Uh they always say if you want to play golf, don't get in the golf space.
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:08.719
Yeah, it's like it's like a kid.
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:24.800
I've been no, I I've been in this chair like every day, you know, from when I wake up to two in the morning to to, you know, just trying to build out new features, squish bugs, you know, launch it just launch things, you know, it's it's crazy.
00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:35.760
And then I'm like, I I can't believe, you know, I'm working on building this community of of rating golf courses, and I haven't even rated all the courses I played.
00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:38.800
Literally because I just haven't had the time to.
00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:48.480
And I'm like, and I've like, I feel I have like this own self-consciousness of I don't want to spam people's feeds, everyone gets notified when I post.
00:47:48.719 --> 00:47:51.920
I'm like, I don't know, there's a whole there's a whole cloud of it.
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:57.039
Uh but I I did play golf, I think maybe like the last two weeks.
00:47:57.119 --> 00:48:07.360
I played a local muni called um uh a laundry golf park, which is a cheap golf golf course, but in just good enough condition that you know you have a good time out there.
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:16.880
Um but yeah, I I I don't know if you guys have felt the same with this podcast, if you guys are playing less or if you guys are doing more golf work, but oh no, I do everything.
00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:19.039
These guys just sit here and talk and look pretty.
00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:23.360
That's all yeah, that's all that's all that matters, right?
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:24.400
You just gotta show up.
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:37.360
Um but yeah, I I have not my golf, my actual golf numbers have have uh halted since this project has kind of caught wind.
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:40.480
All right, so let's do uh what's your handicap?
00:48:41.840 --> 00:48:48.800
So on Jen, I think it might be like an eight, but I think it's more like a maybe twelve.
00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:50.719
Yeah, we can play straight up.
00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:52.559
I mean you can play straight up.
00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:53.360
Let's go.
00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:54.079
Let's go.
00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:56.400
What's uh what's in the bag?
00:48:56.559 --> 00:48:57.360
Go through the bag.
00:48:57.679 --> 00:48:58.559
What are you playing?
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:02.880
Uh yeah, so my wedges are Voki wedges, Vokei wedges.
00:49:03.199 --> 00:49:10.239
Um I have so my dream when I was growing up was always to get the uh titalist blades.
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:16.880
Um and I I ended up buying them for myself a couple years ago and I decked out all titles.
00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:23.760
So I have you know, Vokey wedges, I have the blades up until I think up until seven or six iron.
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:42.800
And then I think I and then I have the um I forgot what they're what the actual name of it is, but like the the cavity back version of the titleists from um you know six to four and then tireless driver and uh tireless wood.
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:44.320
And then I got these guys though.
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:45.599
What kind of putter?
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:46.400
You got a Scotty too?
00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:48.159
I see those persimmons back there.
00:49:48.480 --> 00:49:50.719
Yeah, that's the let's go.
00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:52.239
What's the what putter?
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:53.519
What putter are you gaming?
00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:54.400
It's a Scotty.
00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:55.920
Uh I've the is a Scotty.
00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:56.719
Is it Scotty?
00:49:57.119 --> 00:49:57.920
Yeah, of course.
00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:01.760
Yep, and it's first putter to be fair.
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:03.760
I mean, and I mean I was lucky to get it.
00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:12.559
It was uh the first putter, like nice putter I I got, and I got it you know as a Christmas gift when probably when I was like 14, and I've been using the same putter since.
00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:13.360
So nice.
00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:15.280
Definitely got some mileage out of it.
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:18.239
Nice putters are emotional too, though.
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:20.800
You know, they're they're like uh they're a butt.
00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:25.360
That's the reason probably why Tiger has been using the same putter ever you know forever.
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:28.800
Yeah, I don't know if you have seen that photo of his putter.
00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:30.159
It's so cool to look at it.
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:33.280
Yeah, that that perfect little mark on it, right?
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:35.360
Weird spot right there.
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:39.360
Yeah, we love talking putters on here.
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:42.320
We had Sam Hahn from Lab Golf, he was on the show.
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:44.480
Oh cool, uh Dave.
00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:50.800
Yeah, so I I made a video last year that where I was making fun of the revealer and it blew up, yeah.
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:55.599
And it went it got like 1.4 million views, wasn't expecting it whatsoever.
00:50:55.760 --> 00:51:03.039
And Sam reached out to me and we kind of had a back and forth, and then yeah, and then he hopped on the show and we talked for what two hours.
00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:03.840
Great episode.
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:05.760
That was a good episode.
00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:07.280
I need to go watch that.
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.920
Yeah, we've had Dave from uh Goodwood on.
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:11.920
Um, he's he's amazing.
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:13.920
Uh Garson, we never even talked about Garson.
00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:14.719
Garson Grip.
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:16.400
Shout out, Garson.
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:17.199
That's our sponsor.
00:51:17.519 --> 00:51:18.960
Gars and grip, as always.
00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:19.519
Let's go, guys.
00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:20.480
There is a giveaway.
00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:22.159
We're giving away something, guys.
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:25.280
Yeah, don't forget, we always give away something, Garson.
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:28.000
17 entries in the in the giveaway right now.
00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:29.679
Yeah, oh let's go.
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:31.440
Yeah, we you gotta be here at the end.
00:51:31.679 --> 00:51:33.760
We'll get some Garson on Grassy, too.
00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:35.679
Yeah, absolutely.
00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:39.360
Yeah, I'll talk to I'll I'll talk to Andrew and have him go check it out too.
00:51:39.519 --> 00:51:40.320
So yeah.
00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:44.559
Um what what's your what's your goal like let's say in the next three months?
00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:46.079
What's uh what's your number one thing?
00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:47.519
It's gotta be users, right?
00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:49.039
That's the biggest thing.
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:50.559
The more users, the better.
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:52.800
Or do you have other ambitions?
00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:56.880
Um it's not users per se.
00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:03.679
Uh my goal, I mean, I probably should have a better defined goal to start it off.
00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:12.800
Um because this this thing, this, this whatever like what Grassy has is just been a wave of just everything at once.
00:52:13.119 --> 00:52:28.880
Um but I I I really just want to see like my goal is just hopefully to foster the community in terms to just get more, you know, rich content, more people posting photos and and more video content.
00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:53.039
Um and just seeing that the people who I guess my my one of the more defined goals that I have is that the people who are using the the application uh keep coming back to it um and and and continually being rewarded for either the work that they put in and rating courses um or they're putting in and and sharing their own perspectives with the community and commenting on posts.
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:54.719
Got a five day three going.
00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:55.440
Let's go.
00:52:55.679 --> 00:52:56.320
Let's go.
00:52:56.800 --> 00:52:59.119
That's how fresh it is in our yeah.
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:02.159
But yeah, that's I think that that's like my what I'm looking for.
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:16.639
Like that's what I'm trying to work on the most is fostering a good community where people love coming on grassy and love sharing, whether it's just like uh a pick of a new club they bought or you know, a new round, whatever it may be.
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:20.719
Um yeah, I think that's that's what I'm focusing on the most right now.
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:24.559
I like how it's I got seven new followers since we've been on.
00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:25.840
Oh wow.
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:26.559
Let's go.
00:53:27.039 --> 00:53:31.840
You might be able to qualify for the for the uh the creator program that I launched soon.
00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:41.119
I I I I love it because it's for it's for golfers, it's not for people taking it.
00:53:41.519 --> 00:53:45.519
It's people that enjoy the game and enjoy playing golf.
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:59.280
It's not for people that are in any way trying to take advantage of golf, it's for people that are out there playing and engaging with the game that is probably the greatest game, is the best game ever created, in my opinion.
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:00.079
You know what I mean?
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:01.519
I agree, I agree.
00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:04.719
Like that, I mean there's just played yet.
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:05.519
Terrible.
00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:07.920
There's there's terrible, no excuses.
00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:10.960
Yes, there's there's so many cool things.
00:54:11.119 --> 00:54:12.800
Like, um, I'm not sure.
00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:18.239
I I mean I kind of want to call out the top of the of the rated leaderboard, uh, Jekyll Golf.
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:23.599
He owns a golf shop in LA and he's rated over, I think, over 155 courses in the city.
00:54:23.760 --> 00:54:24.639
Yeah, 156.
00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:27.840
Um and don't worry, that's gonna get bobbed here real soon.
00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:28.480
Don't worry.
00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:38.639
And then he, you know, he he hits me up and you know, and as well as other users hit me up like with you know, feature requests or or just say that they love the app.
00:54:38.719 --> 00:54:59.840
And I think that's like just hearing that is the reward that I appreciate the most is and I think the one of the most surprising things, which probably comes from the golf community, is how supportive, you know, even you know, getting uh some outreach from you guys, like how supportive it is and and how much people want each other to succeed has just been really cool to see.
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:01.280
Absolutely.
00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:04.320
And uh, you know, there's and there's also cool benefits.
00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:19.440
Like I I was lucky enough that one of one of the users um hadn't couldn't make the Genesis open this weekend, and they were they were kind enough to to share share that with with Jesse and I to go uh go out there and and just you know enjoy golf.
00:55:19.599 --> 00:55:23.119
Um yeah, I was your first Jacob's the Tom of Grassy.
00:55:27.039 --> 00:55:27.920
He is the Tom.
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:36.400
I did I did I did uh it's I did for a minute I did have uh a Tom uh inspired profile photo.
00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:43.039
Profile picture with a white it was there for a second, but I decided to remove it.
00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:47.840
But yeah, I'm the Tom of Golf of golf special, whatever.
00:55:48.079 --> 00:55:48.800
That's hilarious.
00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:59.519
I think what's also really cool about it is like I'm at the you know, the reason we all got involved together is uh via Instagram, and it's much harder to do that nowadays, right?
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:15.599
Like to find like um I mean you can find people that play golf in your area and hit them up, but like this is a way to if you see someone's playing all the time at the the local course by you, it's a way to engage with them and and create friends at golf.
00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:22.719
And I mean, yeah, that's why eight years ago, nine seven years ago, so it's like it's harder to do that nowadays.
00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:29.039
So it's it's a yeah, people that's that's one of the main reasons I added the uh direct messaging feature.
00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:37.039
If you can just go and DM anybody, um like if you see like one of one of my best friends who lives out in Boise was like, Who is this?
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:41.519
Like rating all these courses around me, and I'm like, Yeah, all right, I'll have the DM feature.
00:56:41.599 --> 00:56:48.880
You'll be able to hit them up soon, and you guys can go play golf together because you know people are always kind of looking to to find a you know a good new golf buddy.
00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:51.119
Yeah, because solar biomes get all around.
00:56:51.920 --> 00:57:00.480
I don't even I don't even like if I have a moment and nobody else is playing, I don't even want to go play by myself anymore because it's so much more enjoyable with with a homie, you know.
00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:14.480
Yeah, yeah, it's all about it's all about the community experience and absolutely there's no no experience is fun in my opinion if it's not shared with somebody, you know, and you know other than it's not real, it's just in your head.
00:57:14.559 --> 00:57:18.159
Then it's doesn't also you don't want to go out and hit a hole in one and nobody's there, right?
00:57:18.320 --> 00:57:18.480
Right?
00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:19.599
That's true.
00:57:19.840 --> 00:57:21.920
Fuck, dude, that would kill me, man.
00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:23.840
Because I probably wouldn't be filming anyway.
00:57:23.920 --> 00:57:25.280
I'm terrible at pulling my phone.
00:57:26.480 --> 00:57:29.440
Joe likes to Joe likes to hit it on the lip.
00:57:29.679 --> 00:57:32.239
Yeah, yeah, just leave it resting on the lip.
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:33.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:35.039
As close as I've ever been.
00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:42.079
Oh all right, so uh is it on uh Apple and the other phone?
00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:45.519
Or just currently it's only on Apple.
00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:54.719
Um as soon as I have time to develop it, you know, and all the bugs in the iOS are figured out, then you know I'll I'll figure out the uh Android version.
00:57:54.800 --> 00:57:57.280
So I do apologize for all those who are on Android.
00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:00.960
I didn't mean to leave you out, it's just a consequence of the situation right now.
00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:06.719
Um it's gonna be way easier to build on Apple, right?
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:10.000
Or is it easier to build on Android?
00:58:11.360 --> 00:58:24.559
Uh so I've only built iOS apps, so I can't even comment on on Android, but Apple has made it very uh enjoyable to make uh software products for them.
00:58:24.719 --> 00:58:30.719
So um, and I think just using their the I I also just love how the app works on an iPhone.
00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:35.280
I think it's super clean and and uh just the iOS, yeah.
00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:37.519
So uh yeah, I currently only have a lot of things.
00:58:38.639 --> 00:58:46.480
The one thing that I like about the map also is when you uh expand it, it does the the color rankings too.
00:58:46.719 --> 00:58:52.239
So courses that you rate a row or red on the map, and I mean that is so freaking cool.
00:58:52.639 --> 00:58:53.119
Thank you.
00:58:53.280 --> 00:58:54.320
I'm glad you liked that.
00:58:55.519 --> 00:59:08.239
I think the small details, uh you know, of the like the tiniest details are what make products good, and hopefully that's what you find out of Grassy is just the small details that you know I did the meadows, guys.
00:59:08.320 --> 00:59:09.280
Did you see that?
00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:10.719
Oh, you did the meadows?
00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:11.760
Well, I didn't finish.
00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:15.519
Wow, I didn't finish, so I can't I can't I can't rank that one.
00:59:15.679 --> 00:59:19.840
Uh but and look, look, this is the main photo on the page for the course.
00:59:21.039 --> 00:59:21.920
Is that your photo?
00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:26.880
Yeah, that that I mean that that shack was pretty interesting.
00:59:27.519 --> 00:59:29.119
That was Texas Chain Top Massacre.
00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:35.119
That was uh that was full on true routes to the fairways, man.
00:59:35.360 --> 00:59:40.239
That that's the stories that I want to just read that people that experience that people had.
00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:42.880
I just want to see that and be like, have it just spend it.
00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:46.239
And I just want to spend hours reading people's like times on courses.
00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:57.679
We played yeah, we played Percell Farms, which is amazing, and then we were trying to find one more course just to knock it out, and so we found this it's called the Meadows, and we go and play.
00:59:57.760 --> 01:00:00.320
And no, it was incorrect.
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:02.239
Isn't that right?
01:00:03.039 --> 01:00:08.400
No, it was a fill-in because of wasn't it a fill-in because we uh we couldn't get Ross Bridge.
01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:10.079
Yeah, no, no, no, no.
01:00:10.400 --> 01:00:12.480
We're talking about the Meadows, the par three.
01:00:12.639 --> 01:00:13.679
Uh you're right, actually.
01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:20.400
So we played Purcell, we played for cell, and then we hit the Meadows where where Bob lost his rangefinder.
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:25.599
Yes, Timberline was a time because we couldn't play Timberline was yeah, yeah.
01:00:26.079 --> 01:00:29.280
And that's what's awesome about that, too, is meadows is not great.
01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:33.039
No, Timberline is great, and I I had never heard of it.
01:00:33.199 --> 01:00:35.519
We were just looking for somewhere to play, yeah.
01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:37.039
So we were where was this?
01:00:39.519 --> 01:00:40.480
Alabama, Alabama.
01:00:40.800 --> 01:00:52.960
So we play Percell Farms is amazing, and then we go to this goat track that I mean it Joe's right, tree roots in the fairway, Bermuda grass, rough, brains, tea boxes that hadn't been mowed.
01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:54.960
It was bad.
01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:57.199
Our friend Bob lost his range finder.
01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:00.480
He called them, they said, Yeah, somebody turned it in.
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:00.800
We got it.
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:03.440
And he's like, Oh, great, you know, uh, can I buy a shipping label?
01:01:03.519 --> 01:01:04.159
Will you ship it to me?
01:01:04.239 --> 01:01:05.039
Yeah, what's your address?
01:01:05.199 --> 01:01:06.400
They never shipped it.
01:01:06.719 --> 01:01:10.880
Also, that whole trip, we we lost our room that we had, or the Airbnb we had.
01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:12.400
We had to stay in some random place.
01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:13.280
So many good spots.
01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:21.920
And then, and then Bob had uh Chipotle is a vegan, they had to they put uh the burrito and is all juicy and burn up the sides.
01:01:23.039 --> 01:01:26.559
So I mean, like those are the those are the things that you remember more, you know.
01:01:26.719 --> 01:01:28.639
Shout out golf trips, the best.
01:01:29.280 --> 01:01:39.440
Yeah, and now that that's now that that's on grassy, the next person who's gonna be in that area can see that directly and be like, All right, not going there, not going there.
01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:40.239
Yeah, yeah.
01:01:40.480 --> 01:01:46.159
Or they do want to go there because they they want to have an interesting experience, like you guys, you know.
01:01:46.320 --> 01:01:51.840
Yeah, those are the things you remember at the end of the day for the most part, you know what I mean.
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:56.000
