The Super Scottish Open, Kentucky mules at ISCO, & ‘Celebrity’ golfers in Tahoe | The Shotgun Start

Coffee Golf season has come again and Brendan and Andy are ready for this week’s Scottish Open. Before diving into the co-sanctioned field, Brendan shares a story from a listener who cashed out big thanks to this gambling podcast’s constant mentions of Brian Campbell ahead of the John Deere Classic. Andy and Brendan then discuss the Genesis Scottish Open and the catnip of players posting their rounds at North Berwick early in the week. Content Machine Dylan Frittelli has told the world his plans to putt with a mini driver and Bob MacIntyre has Andy riled up with some comments about his driver swing. Attention then turns to the ISCO Championship in Kentucky, where DPWT players such as Jakob Skov Olesen will find themselves playing alongside PGA Tour stalwarts like John Bradley Holmes. Andy declares the ISCO as his “Event of the Week” and asks everyone to join him in following this tournament as closely as possible. The two circle back on the yearly discussion of the Evian Championship and its status as a major on the LPGA circuit before PJ jumps in to run down the field of “celebrities” at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe. This segment touches on NFL legends like Jerry Rice, national weather anchors, and has three Gary Sheffield impressions baked in. The Champions Tour is in New York, but three-time defending champion Padraig Harrington will skip the Dick’s Open for a tee time at the Scottish Open instead. Brendan wraps up the Schedule of the Week with some on-the-ground insight from the U.S. Adaptive Open, sharing the stories of some athletes competing in Maryland. In news, Collin Morikawa has a temporary new caddie and Brendan solicits an expert opinion on the interior design of Trout National.

Greetings and welcome to a Wednesday edition of the Shotgun Start. It is July 9th. Andy, how we doing, Brendan? I’m doing well. How are you? I’m good. So, so abrupt there. I know. I decided to change things up a little. Well, that’s great. You could always use a little change up. Uh we have uh we have a big decision on our plate with speaking of change up. Uh we got a message after we recorded t uh Sunday night after Brian Campbell, your boy BC Ali and I Brian Campbell won the John Deere classic. We got a message from a frequent listener Adam sent it to us uh that his best friend, one of his best friends from college bet Brian Campbell to win this week because of Andy’s constant boosting of Campbell on the pod. That I constantly boosted. No. And if you did, that is an incredibly specious reg reason to put money on anything. But I you did. I guess the the Illinois connection came through to this individual and he won a lot of money. This is from the source. His name is Greer McCurley, which sounds like can’t be somewhat made up, but is real. I’ve checked in on this individual. He bet right after listening to the SGS pod and one huge one, he put a good amount of change on it. rational amount of change and uh as the following will will confirm it was a good amount of money. So, he won betting Brian Campbell outright. And in honor of Andy boosting him, he’ll make a 5,662.50 charity donation that you choose and a $1,125 donation that I choose. and he’ll make a $1,125 British Open bet that we will all share, the four of us, this better and the three of us on this podcast that PJ chooses. So PJ PJ, you have a $1,125 bet to pick here for the open. We have Andy’s got five grand to to allocate toward a charity of his choosing and I have about a thousand I guess for for not being a Brian Campbell fan. I get a thousand. So, uh, great news. Uh, shout out to Adam and Greer. Like, very generous and kind of you and sort of, uh, further evidence of the sicko but benevolent community that’s that’s, you know, exists around this podcast right now. This is big news. I don’t know. Uh, I’m going to have to figure out where I’m going with this. To be clear, we’re not ready. We don’t know what charity this is going to. We’re just announcing that it’s happening. Uh, who knows? Heavy is the the head that wears the, you know, the crown, the person that has to decide this. So, where to send someone else’s money? It is. It is interesting. Worst part about this, I’m going to get reached out to by numerous people pushing their charities. Well, let’s just stipulate for the record. If you are reached, if someone reaches out, you’re automatically eliminated from the running. So, don’t reach out. If you get a solicitation, if you reach out, just know I might not respond and you can’t take offense if I don’t respond. You won’t even give you a thumbs up emoji if it’s via text for fear of uh offending someone. Yeah, solicitations are disqualification. If you reach out to PJ, he will respond because he’s a Z. That’s true. You should look at the Patrick Kentlay Foundation or something like that. Just search look around, try to figure out something good. Um, so anyways, thank you to Adam Greer. We will be might just donate it into the, you know, the Illinois NIL fund, you know, does that count as a charity? You think that would get me perks? Five grand into the NIL fund that get me some sort of alumni perks? might get courtzside seats to an early non-con game, non-conference game or so. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. That feels like a forprofit like deal going on there. I don’t know. May maybe that doesn’t count. I think I’ll find a better charity than I It is in Brian Campbell’s name, so maybe that flies. Hey, we got a great week coming up this week. Uh busy. You know, last year or last week was very quiet. I would say sort of a hoham deer. I love the deer. We all love the deer. It’s a great event. It’s got history and and just it’s a little engine that could I wouldn’t say it was rollicking. Um and you had the BMW International Open that uh Dan Brown, as much as we love him, won, but both events somewhat hoham and nothing else. This week then the cup runth so runth over. We’ve got a women’s major, the Amundai Evian Championship. A major in name only. I did see subscribe to the mixed bag podcast. Matt Galloway uh sort of the the sharp mind former caddy for Michelle Wi and others on the LPJ arguing that the Mundai Evian Championship is more of a major than the current Chevron for I think I’m in on that take. The current Chevron I think should just be shipped out shipped out to the sun. It should be held in in lesser guard than than you know what I don’t know what the Dow team event or the the Shadow Creek event or what what do you want to say? Okay. Just some regular event. Yeah. It’s not gone well in my opinion. LPGA is I it’s just the classic case of the the tail wagon the dog like the partner the partners run everything and it and the product suffers because of it. Sort of like going to you know Atlanta Memphis in August because the partners are telling you that’s where we’d like you to be. This is this is what happens when you when you uh when you allow the the partners to run the product. Well, this week I think offers a glimpse of hope uh when maybe product collaboration um is is prioritized. Uh cuz the Scottish Open is a banger. It’s a banger of an event. Could it be better? Of course. Could it rotate to multiple courses? Sure. Um, but it is it is only escalated and taken off and it was in a goodstead I would say prior to the strategic alliance and prior to the co-sanctioned uh moniker you know with Ricky winning at Gullen and other developments. I think Coocher won at Gullan too. I think that’s right. You you have around you have a recent affinity for Matt Coocher. Feels like you’re you’re into him lately. You like Matt Coocher. I I just like people that that provide guides to to young adults and uh encouragement and and shepherd shepherd young charities there’s plenty of charities that do that. I’m sure that could be a way in. Maybe I’ll reach out to Matt Cooter, see if he he has any good charitable ideas. I’ll reach out to L2. See if he has any good charities you could help out. And his is standing down there. Well, I was just thinking about the the walking through Gullen’s clubhouse and Yeah. you see you see Ricky and you see Cooch. That’s why that’s why I brought up Matt Coocher. You did. You did. And he’s fresh on my mind. He was he was batting it around at uh at um Deer Run. He might have been the first big first baseman. It’s an interesting interesting proposition. totally bastard around God. You know, just remember Jim Nance thinking he was a second coming when he was the amateur playing well at Masters. He’s like, “Oh my god, Mad Coocher, Georgia Lanky Georgia Tech.” I mean, Nance, you could have knocked him over with a feather. He was so fired up. This happens anytime an amateur makes a run. Like I know I you know, it’s still young in his career, but where’s Sam Bennett? I thankfully for pace of play reasons. Oh, come on. He’s not been up on the big tour yet. Come on. The guy did Guy was went low am at at the He was T whatever 10 at the Masters. He did. And then he followed it up, I think, with the US Open. Made that’s what I’m saying. Where is he? What’s he doing? He’s struggling. He’s struggling. Um, but yes, we have a great event this week at the Genesis show. You mean right the Isco. I’m going to get into some Isco tea times. I mean, you dropped these boys in the middle of Kentucky. We might need to Are we doing that on CBS tomorrow, PJ? Do we want to do that? I was looking through the tea sheet. It’s It’s on the list. I I think the field is is good enough that we could we could get a good five minutes out of it. That’s great. Yeah, maybe we could Maybe we could break it up. We’ll do a little show planning minute. Maybe we could break it up into categories. Everybody’s got to draft their favorite team based off of like certain categories. Well, I like that obscure draft. That is like how did I get here? You know, talking heads division, you know, a shub chararma, somebody like that. Young, one young gun. One one career money slash random ex exemption. I saw Overton was in the field. Past champion status. Yeah. my notables. Uh JB Holmes was a notable in the like with a bunch of like John Bradley, his career accomplishments. He’s not JB Holmes anymore on this podcast. He should be only referred to as John Bradley. God, he got whoever caught him was Oh, the bullet got him. JB Holmes, Marcus Armadage, and Tom Valiant or Val Valiant, a Frenchman it looks like, are playing together in Louisville, Kentucky. Talk about Frank Marcus Armmitage could could glean some RDER Cup uh wisdom off of John Bradley there cuz he’s he deserves to be on the team. JB wasn’t Wasn’t it Port Rush where John Bradley stood on the first te and Zinger just ripped him said I mean he’s only had all night to think about this T- shot. Which club? Screw club to hit standing over his bag. Was it Saturday that he went out and shot like 84 or 87 or something? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he was with Brooksie. He screwed Brooks. Absolutely screwed him. Brooks screwed himself. I Yeah, he did jam him a little bit. He did. Um JB Holmes playing with Marcus Armorage in the middle of Kentucky this week. The opposite of the bullet on the golf course. JB Holmes. That’s good. The pace car and the bullet. Um but in Scotland, what what a good matchup. The pace car versus the bullet. We got some Frenchman who I I’m not familiar with. Tom Valiant. Is young Tom Kim the new pace car? Uh, it’s an interesting question. He’s certainly in the crosshairs for it. He’s definitely in the crosshairs for it. He takes takes forever. Takes all day. Oh god, I might lose power here. Thundering so good. Um, the If you lose power, do should PJ and I just carry the day? Finish it off. Let it go. Talk about we just we’ll get the ad read that we need to get done and and sign off. You could do that. Uh the Genesis Scottish Open is at the Renaissance Club in North Beric, Scotland. This is the fourth year that we’ve done this whole two-step with Kentucky and East Loathian Scotland. Uh quite a diametrically different loc. Uh the purse is 9 million which is just an absolute money bath for the European tour. I mean, last week there was like two and a half in uh Germany. Uh oh, by the way, speaking of Germany, PJ, we’re getting some vitriol for a flag mixup on the CBS show with Thomas Dietri. Yes, we committed we committed a a European uh Wait, wait, we put a German flag under Belgium. Not us. I want to be clear, not us. CBS under the bus here. the Tik Tok comments not happy about the European wheel being on Tik Tok with a a German flag for Thomas Dri who is very much from Belgium. I would just like the record to show it’s not us not just us that are idiots that struggle with geography. Um you know the the Estonia Estonia minute getting jammed for that. We were getting ripped for Estonia being nowhere near nowhere near Slovakia or Roy Savini. I did. You think that Sabatini’s influence doesn’t span the entire continental Europe? The continental reach. Yeah, that could be true. I forgot. I was talking to somebody about about the boy from Bratislava this weekend. Remember when we just like random people were buying those those Bratislava athletic department shirts? Those were great. The crew necks. I got to get mine out. It’s in the attic. I know right where it is. I have one. My wife has one. She likes it. She wears it with not out of the house, but she wears it with some amount of frequency. Casual wear. Gotta get that. Uh, speaking of I don’t know what, we’re going back to the Renaissance club. The notables in the field are Levig Fitzy, Tommy Fleetwood, Victor Havlin, Bobby McIntyre, your defending champ, Rory Maroy, the champion two years ago, Xander Schoffley, the champion three years ago, Scotty Sheffler, number one player in the world, and Justin Thomas, I believe eight of the top 10 players in the world are here. You have a full beefy 166man field, about 75 each tour. You know, it’s split down the middle. Three Korean tour players are there. Some sponsors exemptions on the PGA tour going to David Ford and Luke Clanton, Young Guns. Um, it’s a it’s a it’s an excellent field. It’s an excellent excellent event. It is uh proven this co-sanction deal uh as a good idea. You have the top Americans patronizing it. And you know, there’s probably some euros pissed off that they don’t get their spot in a in a Rolex or a fancy event. Oh, by the way, we have Eugenio Chakara making his, you know, a former Live Boy uh sneaking in the back door on a quote unquote PJ tour event this week. Uh just an excellent field that has proved to be um a good idea, a good model. I don’t I don’t know if it can be expanded further in the summer, but this is this event is humming. It’s in a good spot. Yeah, I I I mean it’s in a it’s in a great spot. It’s an awesome event. Um, how could it be expanded further? Uh, Irish Open. I I you know, I like venture to like hesit I have hesitation about doing like the the Euro PGA. Yeah, sure. Um but yeah, I mean last year’s last year’s Irish Open at at Royal County Down could have been the best event of the year, non- major. Um it was an awesome event, but it barely it was televised. I mean, remember that? Yeah. Like on NBC Sports. Um, and we had to like stream it and there were just like hand cams out there instead of drones and and and like showcasing arguably the best golf course in the world. Um, so I I think like one of the things and and it seems like they’re pretty dialed in at R renaissance like locked in there. Um, you see them adding infrastructure. They got the stadium hole this week. Um, stadium hole, not sure if people will be there. It’s not It’s a sparsely attended event. Um because of how late it is, they push it so far back that what happens is, you know, the the Scots don’t like to miss their dinner plans and and night plans that they don’t they don’t show up. So, you know, that could be the the downside of like, but I think like you got to um got just an opportunity to go to so many golf courses that like the Open’s not going to like I mean there’s a whole list of courses that the open has passed by at this point because of infrastructure uh needs for how many people they need to accommodate and you know do you have a few you’d want to profer Gullan’s a fun course just down the road uh Renaissance is I think Renaissance is is fine it’s a it’s like a good venue um but like go to the other parts of the of the country too. Um yeah, you know. Yeah, they push it. Go ahead. That would be neat. Uh but you could do more. I I just at the end of the day what’s going to be hard and this is I think like a very interesting conversation with with roll app coming in is like are there sponsors that would support these types of events? And then the second part be is how do you structure these events that you know these players will go over there for a month or six weeks. That’s the hard part about about this is like the golf unlike an NFL game which is maybe a weekend these guys now a lot of teams do the full week there unlike that that you know it’s not just popping in for one but like if you did this and it’s it’s like I have to move my family for six weeks maybe I think that’s the tricky thing with this. Yeah. I mean, it would appeal to some and certainly not appeal to others. Like would be cool to go to London, home base in London for a month, get a flat with your wife and kid. Is there anything but flats in London? That’s all I ever hear about. Condo, uh, Brownstone. I don’t know. I don’t know how what the terminology is, but you know, then you can go to Edinburgh, you can go to you can go over to Dublin, you can whatever you can bounce around a little bit, but yeah, I think you need willing players. You need a willing rights partner in a way, right, to come around. If you’re paying for rights and all of a sudden you go from a bunch of 6 p.m. Eastern finishes to a bunch of 300 pm Eastern finishes, that’s an issue. I mean, that’s part of the reason why they push it so late in the East Loian area is to try to get a little bit more cut of the of the American audience, pushing into the afternoon hours on the East Coast and, you know, then you end up with a like a 900 p.m. local finish and people going home to bed on Sunday or or having their, you know, evening tea or whatever it is. Um, so that is part of the issue. But yeah, it just feels like God, I I know having the open there is the ultimate carrot the week after, but you’ve got eight of the top 10 in the world. Something’s working here and um maybe it can’t be replicated outside this week and we just need to accept it, but I would love to see uh it move around a little bit more. Renaissance Club sort of a beefy course. Definitely favors driving distance. a lot of par fours, you know, that are big par, you know, longer parfs that are longer. Uh, like I don’t know if it’s all wind dependent, right? It’s not it’s links turf, pot bunkers, big greens, slower greens, that whole deal. But it doesn’t look like we’re going to get much wind this week. I talked to David Jones. I talked to a few people over there, UK Golf Guy, you know, and then couple folks in North Barrack. It just seems like the forecast doesn’t look for much wind and it’s been two years in a row I think since with just all of a sudden it just goes cold as soon as the tour shows up. Um and that changes the way the chorus played obviously could be something they’re working on with the venue. Reduce the wind, increase the fairness, you know, this could be that’s what’s happening. I you know just just wondering if if this has to do with a certain rise of certain player to the number one in the world just they’re they’re they’re putting up a windshield of some sort you think out there off the first is that the f of fourth there I believe um that’s what’s happening it’s the Atlantic Ocean actually some people call it the first of fourth uh no it’s It’s fine. It’s a fine course. It’s good. It’s, you know, lynxy turf and but it’s one of these where if you miss the fairway and they’re narrower fairways, the penalty is not I mean the guys are just hammering the ball and they’re hammering there. It’s if you hit it far, you have an advantage. Uh like most everywhere, but but especially here. So, it was an exceptionally dry spring. Yes. Um so, it’ll be interesting to see how the next two weeks play. It could be could be really fasted at um at both of them which would be would be fun. Hopefully no uh you know I’ll take no conditions this week if we get conditions next week like happy trade happy trade. Um, you know, it’s uh do you think uh do you think the sheriff’s jur jurisdiction uh includes includes the you know the UK and Northern Ireland and constable or something over there? Um uh I don’t know my terms. Yeah, I think it does. I think wherever he shows up, he’s got international authority at this point. He’s like a diplomat. He’s done enough. Yeah. Yeah, it’s just his weight carries everywhere. It seems like Isn’t that wild that diplomats just can’t be arrested? Well, yeah. It’s It’s incredible. I went to school and then I moved to Washington DC. I went to school with like a couple kids who were from DC. They’re like, “Oh yeah, all the high school parties, you know, we just go, we had friends who were diplomats kids and they’re like, you know, they can’t get busted for anything. kids can just go 100 miles an hour down the street. They can do whatever. And so it’s just like, yeah, it’s an interesting uh interesting dynamic there. Certainly uh for some enterprising high school students in the DC area. Um did you see Dylan Felli, the king of content? He’s suggesting he’s going to putt with his two-wood. Says the wood mini driver is what what we’d call it now. But he says that’s the ultimate Lynx club now. And he’s gonna putt with it for for putts over 50 feet if windy. Is that right, PJ? You want to jump in here? I watched this. I watched DP World Tour put out a a nifty little social video with with Felli. No, I just Why is Felli in the field? He has to be DP World Tour points. There has to be that. Yeah, I think he is on DP World Tour. I just want to say I think this is good by delivery. As somebody who also uses 3-wood and hybrid as you mentioned, I stand with Dertelli on this. Middle of the green from middle driver is kind of is kind of insane, but I I want to see it happen just so may maybe I I mean king of content, but I understand the theory here. I like this. The uh the coffee cart is the coffee cart back? Do we know? Sure he’s we’ll have to get reports from the grout that I’m sure he’s cleaning up at the free coffee cart going for lunch dinner. Yeah. Going taking multiple drivebys on his way out of town. Yeah. He cleaned up on some of those just pretty the South African swing in like December like Yeah. And then like cutter and these other Bahrain and places like that. I think he was getting his points and that that’s why he’s in the field. though using his two two wood uh to putt. You have a one and done pick for the gen Genesis Scottish Open at Renaissance. Yeah, I’m I’m taking a proper player, a worldwide player. Oh, a national open, you know, specialist. I’m taking Foxy. Good pick. Great pick. Um, I can would it be just too cliche to take the defending champ? Robert McIntyre. I was looking at that. Seems to be just putting incredible emphasis on this for obvious reasons and has been contending pretty much every year and also winning. Uh, Rory, another good pick. I’m not sure you’d want to use him for a $9 million purse, but do we see does Rory get back in the battle this week? Andy, you think that’s a I I feel like we could see him kind of punching around. Listen, I think he gets on this front foot and he doesn’t let off. This is about Roy Mel, you know, you had to get away and get his his head right. You know, you come down the mountain, you reach the mountain, you got to figure out how to come down, and that’s what he’s doing. Um, it’s like a boxer, you know, you they throw a few punches in the first round, and then you get hit, and then you got to figure out the rest of the rounds. Um, I mean what at this point the only thing that matters is that first T-shot at Port Rush. I just getting out of the block. Reductive. Okay. Getting off the blocks there. I I think that’s the thing about about God is he just shoots a good first round at Port Rush that he’s he’s humming then. I think he’s going to win this not win. And I think he’s going to play well this week. I think he’s back. He’s back in the battle. Do I have anything any reason to say that? No. Two months off, he’s back. I just think he’s, you know, this gets his juices flowing, the Scott uh Scottish Open. So, we’ll see. I think that’s a it’s a fair thing to point out that maybe that just like the change in scenery Yeah. is like kind of what he needs is different style of golf at this point, different, you know, local, different fans could be good. I like Bobby Mack, not Rory, but to to just but a similar similar reasoning. Did you see I I was thinking about taking Bobby Mack, but just off of sheer principle, I couldn’t. Titus did a video where they talked to Bobby Mack about about, you know, how he he purposely hits it off the toe. Yes. He talks about there’s no change in ball speed or anything. He just purposely mis hits the ball. Why he does that is because he’s afraid of hitting the shot that goes left, like the fade, the big miss fade. Yeah. And he started doing this at the old course uh at the 2020 I think it was the 2022 open. I I can’t remember what which term he said. It could have been a Dunnh Hill too, but he purposely misses the sweet like what can I just ask a question? A simple question. What What are we doing? I think that was a video with Andy Murray, I think, right? Where they were chatting about that. What? What? Why are we Why is it I I just like can’t I can’t grasp this like no baseball hitter be like, “Yeah, I’m trying to hit it off the end of the bat.” Yeah. And it goes exactly where I want it to go and how far it keeps me competitive. at the highest level. Yeah, it’s an interesting strategy. It maybe a sign that equipment is is ridiculous. Could be that you just Oh, yeah. I just hit it off the toe cuz then the ball won’t go left for me. Pretty nice. Like, you know what? You can’t aim for the toe on like a pimmen head because you might miss the miss the ball like your option if you miss the toe a little on the toe side is that you literally would like toe shank a ball might get a zj off the tea mark kind of thing. Yeah, this is crazy. I I So anyways, I’ve I’ve got I’m I’ve put a I can’t root for Bobby Mack because of this situation. It’s not his fault, but I’m putting lining down a I’m drawing a line in the sand. I will not I’m actively rooting against against Bobby Mack from this point on. Love it. That’s a great reason. Go PJ. I don’t know how I’m going to follow that up. Honestly, I I can’t make declarative statements about to balls and and not rooting for Bobby Mack anymore. people are not going to be happy. People already think this podcast does not root for Bobby M. There is a full-on fatwa against there is there is there is a a you know direct line to Bobby Mack that thinks we don’t that we’re very anti- Bobby Mack. Well, I guess I am anti- Bobby Mack at this point. Just that you you just said those exact words unequivocally said it. Yeah. Uh I like Foxy a lot. Foxy was on my short list, but I I’ll I’ll I’ll leave it open here. Speaking of guys who need a change of scenery, uh Tommy Fleetwood needs a change of scenery and Tommy Fleetwood winning a PGA Tour event not in America, I feel like would be a pretty good bit. So, I’m taking Does it count as a PGA Tour event? I think we’d count it as a deep another DP World Tour win. Well, we know we can win those. So, that’s what I’m saying. Hey, back to Bobby Mack. Yeah, you weren’t done taking your pom. Please go. Go ahead. Should we change his name from Big Shot Bob to Bad Shot Bob because he’s hitting it off the toe? Junk Ball Bob. Um, you are free to do that. You’re free to do that as long as you’re okay with the consequences and repercussions. You know, you anointed him Big Shot Bob. I I believe I did. You did on this spot. I did anoint him big shot Bob with with more evidence. I think we should call him bad shot Bob because he’s purposely hitting bad shots that aren’t being penalized off off te just absolutely savaging the native the home sun on their national open. I’m not savaging him. He is called a bad shot Bob. He’s good enough to hit it in the sweet spot, but the sweet spot ironically brings more like where he might be actually on to something. Like hitting the ball in the sweet spot brings more dynamics of missing at this point with modern drivers than hitting it off the sweet spot. That’s wild. That’s insane. God, he has more bad outcomes from hitting the ball in the center of the club face than hitting on the toe. Because if he hits on the toe, it doesn’t go one direction. I was home last week. I went in the basement and got out my 975D. And we’re not talking about ancient times here. Great driver. You put it down and now it just it still looks like a little tin can. And we’re not even that was that was a pretty that was a moderate size. You know, that was on the on the march to where we’re at now. Closer to where we’re at now. The best part about the 975D era is that like we were also swaying like 80 gram shafts. Like that’s like you know you think about like some of the shafts that were around then it was like you know the Pro Force the famous Pro Force was 65 g. Yeah. But now now straps are like 50. But like you know you had like the Alda NV75, you had the like these were like 70. They were these things were pieces of lumber. Great driver, but even that looked a little, you know, like you could miss. God. Um I think I might I might protest modern drivers again. I You guys spoke a little bit about Foxy. One last Scottish Open note I’ll add. Uh the new posting a picture of your milkshake at the memorial is now posting that you went to North Barrack. I just I this is no slight against North Barrack. No slight against going there as an inquisitive mind, but these guys are all just like followers. They’re all just like, “Oh, well, you know, so and so went there. I’m going to go there.” And that’s great. I mean, I’m not going to slight him for going and seeing the world. It’s just it’s become a bit cliche. I mean, they’re just posting them all. Jake Knap, Daniel Burgerer, the bridge man, which someone sent us a cheeky message hitting it over the wall. Bridge man, a bridge over the wall. Just, you know, hitting a little punch uh up and over as as you would expect. But yeah, it’s it’s just everybody goes. What’s wild to me is like why don’t they go to like why don’t they ever post like that we’re at Mirfield or Dunar like why don’t any of them ever go anywhere else. I get it. I just was I you know hands up I was in that area. I played North Barrack twice. Uh I was there for four or three days. I played North Barrack twice, but I also played Golem one and and Gossic, which is down the road, which was really cool. But yeah, it’s funny because I was thinking about how I probably should have gone over and played Renaissance and but like at the same time like why don’t these guys go play like the other places? I want to see one of them play Kilpindia with Hickories. Yeah, I want to see one of them play Boris in a match at Kill Spindy and just get dusted. our old friend Boris by like a 65year-old hickory shop owner. Do you think he’s 65? Is that too old? Uh, it’s probably 55. Maybe. I don’t want to speculate on the man’s age on the air, but yeah. Me either. Who knows? I can’t imagine some of these Pampered Fs having to deal with Boris. Wonder what Boris is doing this week. Do you think the shop’s open, or do you think he’s playing golf? I think the shop’s more closed more often than it’s open just by the whims of Boris. Um, anyways, yeah, I don’t think I would I think I’d feel more confident playing a match against Scotty Sheffller with Modern Clubs than Boris with Hickory. Okay. All right. So, you’ve got you’ve got uh who’s your pick? Foxy. I’m taking Bobby and PJ. Who’s your pick again? Tommy Tommy Fleetwood. Okay. We’ll see if this leads to any other, you know, four figure donations to charities of her choosing next week. Uh, let’s do an adri for our friends at Echko. Uh, they’ll be well represented over there on the European tour. You know, I’m going next week to Northern Ireland for the Open Championship. I’m be sure to pack my Echo waterproofs. I might pack the Trail Runners or the the the Ultra Trail uh not trail runner, ultra terrain trail shoes. Those guys are absolute tanks. They’re weatherproof. They’re they’re golf shoes, though. Obviously, if you’re over in Scotland, Northern Ireland, they have shoes inspired by the Highlands. Uh they have been in the golf game now for almost 30 years. Thomas Bjorn was their first um ambassador in 2000. They launched their first golf shoe in 96. They’ve been at it. Uh they obviously they hit the sweet spot with Fred Couples in the in the Masters that one year. But where they where they excel um is with comfort and technology. So they’ve got the Gortex waterproof uh uh capability and all the almost all their golf shoes. Like if you don’t want your feet feeling an inch or a speck of moisture, you load up on Echos. Uh they have all the the the Pro Soma heel cup. I know you’re a big fan of that. They’ve got Primoloft insul insulation, so if it’s a little bit nippy out there. Uh, and then they have the Gortex with the waterproof technology and HMK 100K waterproof technology, not just any waterproof technology. So, go to echo us.ech.com, check out their full arrangement of golf shoes, full assortment of golf shoes, uh, at us. Let’s move on with our schedule for the week. Uh, we we gave it enough acknowledgement already, but on the PJ tour, we have the Isco Championship. Is that like a pipe maker or something? What is Co? Is it insurance? I think it’s the guy that owns Valhalla. Yeah. Jimmy, whatever. Kradorfer picked up Scotty from jail. Uh, Isco Championship. Is it Hurstorn Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky? I believe this is the first time this has ever hosted this. Uh, and I think the same guy owns it. Like the Isco guy and Valhalla guy. I could be wrong. Isco’s guy is into owning pipes and uh and golf courses. Golf courses. Hurst. Uh, the purse is 4 million. Excuse me. Defending champ. Do you know who the defending champ is? Oh, it was it was Harry Hall. Yes. Not playing in 2020. It was a disaster of a finish, right? Yes. ZB was in that passing around. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Rico Hoey was in the mix, right? Yeah. There’s a burly boy, one of the younger. Yeah. Yeah. Um, notable. Rafa Campos. This these are notables. Earnest attempt at notables. Rafaampos, Lanto Griffin, Nick Hardy, Bo Hustler, Sergeant Gordon Sergeant, Brandt Snedeker, Michael Thorbjornson, and Jimmy Walker makes makes the official notables. What they’ve done though, they’ve done a good job of uh putting the the young guns together um on the on in in threesomes I should say. You got Thor Thor Bjorn. Let me find it here. I thought it was Thor Bjornson, Quan, and uh who was the third uh Wade Dean who’s playing from the European tour. Then you have Robin Tiger Williams, Jackson Suber, and Kazuma Kabori. Uh then you also have Sergeant with Anel Aora who was a 20-year-old Spaniard I guess turned down Liv like a a stud Spanish kid who who turned down Liv. He’s playing with Sergeant and Miles Russell the God that kid is so little. He is just a he’s just a firecracker of power. He was on the Oakmont range. You couldn’t believe it. And Miles Russell’s with Aurora and Sergeant. Then you have Hustler, Robinson Thompson, and Davis Bryan are some other notable. Robinson Thompson double Dorian Thompson Robinson. No. Uh, not not him. Wait, there’s a guy named Robinson Thompson. Uh, it’s Brandon Robinson Thompson, I believe, is the individual’s name. So, the double son. Yeah, just Yes, the double son. Uh, it would have been so much better if his full name was his his first name was Robinson, his last name was Thompson. Feels like a a book series could be written about Robinson Thompson. You’ve got it’s just an interesting t- sheet. You know, Kevin W with Wattney and Jim Herman. What a threesome that is. How about Kevin W getting in the Twitter DMs or Instagram messages? What? He’s going at us. No, about about his about him not being Patrick’s son. That was a public reply. He said, “Love what Patrick did for the ABS, but he’s not my father.” I don’t know if that was a listener trying to just be cheeky with them and he had to clarify for him or what was going on. Um, so yeah. What were you gonna say? you’re I cut you off and talked about the that that I was uh I was gonna say I feel like um you know we we get a lot of like Sergeant buzz. We’re getting a ton of Clanton buzz. We’re getting a lot of Quaven buzz. Nobody’s talking about David Ford. Yeah, I think uh the tour gave him a little bit of a boost when he came straight out on Canada, but yeah, I guess so. I guess he’s overshadowed a little bit. Think he’s got a chance to to just be the guy? I just I I don’t think we’ve heard a lot about him. He was number one. Finished number one in PGA Tour U. Yeah. So, like, you know, by their metric was the best of the three of them. Yeah, not saying that’s the right, you know, Quinn I think Clanton’s, you know, PGA Tour record was like insane, but like based off the PGA Tour U system, he was the best one and it seems like all the shine goes other places. I don’t know why. I don’t know if it’s because he’s got a brother, you know, but like he just does not get as much hype or or talk uh you know, general talk about him chatter. That’s fair. That’s fair. Uh this event is just and I think like what we found is like you know this is like a great example this it it kind of reminds me with like all these guys getting their cards and Kven if you put Kven in the bucket because he has his card is like you have these four guys it’s kind of similar of like Havland uh Wolf and and Morawa you know they all turn pro and Wolf got all the chatter all the chatter and it ended up being Morau and Havland are the two be two better players. And I wonder if that we’ll see something similar. Like I would say that like you know I I Sergeant’s like kind of the one that I think is like obviously a unique situation in terms of like where his game is now versus when he earned his card. But I, you know, I think Clanton’s a great player, but like I wonder if it’s just like he was nuclear hot at this time and, you know, maybe it ends up being someone else. I don’t know. I’m just, you know, fair to speculate, fair play in the Scottish Open this week. Someone to keep an eye on. Uh, this event is just a nuclear waste site with just all sorts of creatures coming out of the muck. I mean, it’s just it’s it’s not even Frankenstein. This listen to this tea time, Andy. Tommy Gayy, the solicister general, is in the PGA Tour event. He’s paired with Andrea Pavan Pavan and Alfredo Garcia Heredia. So, you have this South Carolina solicitor general. I mean, it’s like Chernobyl. There’s just all sorts of just interesting like disfigured just what what is this event at this point? Tommy Gain and Andrea Pavan in Kentucky. Uh all right, continuing on with our schedule for the week. Uh on the LPJ tour, we have the Monday Evan Championship. The purse is still listed as TBD 8 million last year. The defending champ is champion is Ayaka Fudway. Um, this will be coffee golf. I believe it is on at 6:00 to 11:00 a.m. on Golf Channel and then 4 to 10:00 a.m. on the weekend. So, proper early coffee golf uh where Scottish Open then takes over after that uh into the early afternoon on the East Coast. Uh so, this is quote unquote a major championship on the LPGA. Uh I don’t have a whole lot to add. the the winners have been Miy Lee the last few years. Brooke Henderson, Selene Boutier, and Ayaka Foodway. So that’s your Amundai Evian Championship. Uh morning coffee golf on the PJ tour champions. Hey, speaking of coffee golf, we have some we just had a bunch of new merch hit the the fried egg pro shop. It’s it’s good. I mean, you know, we’re biased. It’s our own stuff. Uh, usually we hear some instant reaction and we’ve gotten a lot of it around this stuff. People are fired up. The mugs are awesome. We we we brought it back. We put a mug on a mug. Uh, so we got that going for us. And uh, some great great shirts, good color palette there. We also have Open Championship or I wish I don’t know if I should, you know, major championship played in Northern Ireland next week year. Uh um so anecdote. Yeah. Got my got my coffee golf coffee. I I did too. I made it this morning. Yesterday. And I it delivered like 11:00 a.m. immediately. Made another pot of coffee and got like way overcaffeinated yesterday. Uhuh. But it was delight. It was delicious. Getting over caffeinated honestly like you don’t feel good but it’s like one of my favorite things to do. I don’t know why. Like I think like if you gave me like a day where like I think like an almost an ideal day would be like nobody’s at your house and you have like two pots of coffee and you have nothing to do but drink the coffee would be a great day. This coffee is really good. I really enjoyed it. You like it? I I have the label somewhere. It’s like hints of uh lime and Sprite. It’s a light roast is what it is. And you can buy it at Goodwalk Coffee or you can buy it, I believe, in our own pro shop, right? Pro shop. Fried egg.com. The merch is awesome. The coffee blend is really good. It’s proper time for coffeeolf. Uh please please uh check it out. The tasting notes are grapefruit, mimosa, jasmine, Sprite, 50% Ethiopia, 50% Kenya. Uh, coffee. Did you pick up any of those notes? Grapefruit mimosa. Are you sophisticated? I I didn’t I’m going to be completely honest. Um, you could tell me anything. No, I didn’t pick up. I just know that I liked it. I trust the people that are making it. Yeah, I like It’s okay to just say I like it and not know why. I enjoyed it this morning. I made a full pot working our way through it. Just like I’m going to be telling my wife, listen, the Isco, I don’t know why I like it, but I like it this week. Isco’s the event of the week. No, come on. I’m giving it to the US Adaptive Open. Please, you can give yours there. I’m giving it to the Isco. I think I’m just gonna lock into the Isco this week. It’s like you remember you you’d watch the Open and then you’d like like as a cleanser, a chaser to come down. You’d watch a little Barbie. It was Barbie then. It was It was the Barbasol. It was the Cuda when we were in St. Andrews at night and Chester was battling. That’s right. God. Yeah. coins were making out. We’re locked in the floor. Just one of the throwback like couldn’t the floor was stickier than all hell. Just a throwback college bar. We’re just locked into the West Coast Tahoe golf as it’s whatever one in the morning in the morning. Yeah, two idiots. Uh yeah. So, uh God, what a backtoback Isco to Cuda. You know what? I might go go out to the Cuda next year. You should you should go to the ACC, the American Century Champion. I wish I got invited. Celebs. Were you as a celeb? No, just to cover it. Wish they’d send me an email. I would go after tomorrow. What do you You can do it. I would do it. We’ll go get over there. Tell my Tell my wife we’re going to Tahoe. Yeah, you go cover the ACC. That’s not Yeah, they just don’t talk about the boat scene and the all the hy jinks going on down there at the beach. Go just do earnest coverage, earnest gamers. Marty Fish off to off to a rock bogey the first three. Got to wonder did he get enough prep in uh around the greens leading up to this or was he distracted, you know, by you know go ask the hard questions. Yeah, talk about, you know, David Wells has a new driver in the bag this week and they’re wondering what might come of that. Uh, yeah, you could do all that stuff. Who’s your favorite ACC um, uh, player? Like, who would you go go watch Matt Ryan, Boston College, proper proper BC lad? PJ, uh, fellow CBS colleague PJ. uh obscure baseball player. Well, baseball players, the problem is Jeff McNeel is getting jammed here. Can’t can’t go compete because he’s too busy too busy opsing over 900 for the Mets currently. Uh Aaron Rogers is playing. So, that’s it’s kind of lowanging fruit right there. I’d go heckle for Abel for taking the Pats job over the Jets job. Sure. An active NFL head coach doing this is is kind of insane. So, I I saw his name on the list. I was That’s That’s actually That’s legitimately alarming. So, that makes me feel good as a fellow AFC East uh uh comrade. PG, you don’t you probably don’t never watch this guy. Gary Sheffield was a baseball player of my childhood that Gary Sheffield finished his career with the Mets. Hit his 500th home run as a New York Met. Gary Sheffield had just so much swagger when when we were kids. He had that he, you know, he did the We’re all mimicking it for this audio medium. We all immediately the bat waggle and dress. So, you know, Gary Sheffield seeing that name, it just like immediately brought that that image uh to me. Also very excited to see uh former Chicago Bull, now NBA champion for the second time, AC Fresh, Alex Caruso. I saw that get a spot. I believe he was on maybe last year like being like I don’t know how you get a spot in this. They got a spot. Reeves is up there in the odds list. They’re advertising an odds list. I think he’s like a plus handicap. Reeves is pretty high on the odds list. I’ve heard actually. Uh Reeves is Reeves is uh 18 to1. Caruso is 22 to1. Uh Steph Curry and Marty Fish are your favorites if anybody’s wondering. I think I think Reeves might be a sleeper. That might be the play. That might be the best bet of the week. This is It’s It’s really hard to get an invite to this. It’s like in demand. Now, now that I’m looking at the full field, I have two other options. Uh A, I would go follow Sam Darnold because I still believe that’s still my guy for forever and always. And then B, uh I would go boo the hell out of Chase Utley. That’s what I would do. Um here’s a question for you. Uh, what would you do you think that Aaron Rodgers is demanding to be paired with Devonte Adams? I I hope so. I think he should be. I mean, they got to spend the whole year apart this year. That’s hard for them as we’ve learned. It’s not easy to do. So, you never know. It’s Derek Carr III. They got Derek Carr, Tvante Adams, and Aaron Rogers. That’s like a love triangle with Devonte Adams being the the you know, I mean that that video of Derek Cart the day after he mysteriously maybe went into forced retirement and immediately went to go play golf. So maybe he’s been working on his game for the last couple months. He could be a sleeper here. I thought wasn’t his shoulder like broken or something? Wait, he needed he needed shoulder surgery. Uh so he retired. It was unclear if he was he he likely was going to get cut because he was gonna be out for the whole year and just decided to retire. Um catnip of the of the celebs here. Albert Albert Puhol to hit a golf ball would probably be amazing to watch honestly. Uh he stinks. [Music] Overrated player. Okay. Tell us how you really feel. It’s No, it’s it’s impossible to get an invite to this. It’s like really in demand. How about uh how about this is a catnip call of the week. Yeah. How much family content are we getting with the Curries with Dell, Seth, and Steph playing? They gave them all spots. I mean, what are Riley getting a spot next year? Wasn’t that the kid that would go to the press conference? Yes. Um yeah, you’re going to get a lot of that. How about Dylan Dryer, a TV meteorologist? What meteorologist is this guy? It’s the It’s I think a woman. The Today Show or something like that. One of those which like why does the Today Show need a meteorologist, you know? It’s like here’s the country, isn’t it? Al Roker. Oh, it’s Yeah, maybe it’s one of those one of those morning. Like there are some there are some huge like legitimate like Miles Teller is like really famous. Steph Curry is really famous. This This is This I can’t believe we’re talking about this. I’m just This runs the gambit. Like, no offense to Vinnie Delenegro. I know that’s your guy, Andy, but like how does Vinnie Delgro get involved? That guy was a critical cog in the Spurs during their golden eras. Two guard PJ probably never watched Vinnie Delene Negro play. as I know him as a coach. I don’t know that I ever memor is like, “How did Jerry Rice get an invite?” All right. Who’s going to go after that? All right. There’s there is lines between Vinnie Delenegro and Jerry Rice. There’s even lines between Vinnie Delenegro and Gary Sheffield, I would say. But then like there’s like Jason Worth. Jason Worth is a little crazy. Jason Worth was like a nice MLB player. Well, Carlton, I mean, that that guy is the champion store number one fan. Larry the cable guy. Carlton deserves a spot. It’s an interesting composition. I know that this thing prints money for NBC, I think. It’s just like it does well. Um, I might have to reach out see if I could go there. Jim McMahon, there’s Chicago all over this. Yeah, Jim McMahon does play barefoot if you if you I don’t know if you’ve seen that before. You got Erlacer, too. Hair locker. on the champion story of the Dicks Open at Enjoy Country Club in Endicott, New York. Uh Podrick Harrington, three-time champion, not playing. He’s playing Scottish Open. Patty Harrington just taking piecing out. Had enough of Endicott New York. This is on uh I don’t know. It shouldn’t be on anything if you’re asking me. Uh it’s on uh Golf Channel 2 to 4, 2:00 to 5 and 2 to 5 Friday through Sunday. Uh, notables are Stephen Hayes, Joe Durant is a notable for God’s sakes, David Duval, everybody else, JJ Henry, Jerry Kelly, the notorious BVP, Bo Vanpelt, and Yaya are your notables. BJ, has BVP been the most disappointing champion Stewart player this year? I mean, his shoulders all I was going to say, what are you realistically expecting for PVP? I thought he was going to go up there based off his I mean the tour gave him like a crazy on-ramp. I feel like he played played for basically like you know Yeah. three years leading into it. I guess he’s only played three uh three he’s only one of three cuts made. Sad. That’s not right. Anything we need to know about this PJ? Uh Duffy Waldorf is in the field which I feel like isn’t is important to He’s probably on the Isco alternate, you know, co sanction. Probably not. Could be alternate. Are you going to go up? Uh still trying to figure that out. I mean, Maroon Five is on Monday night. And Andy asked now that we hit Monday or uh Friday night. Friday night. It was it was the week day. Uh and my days every day is the same at this point. Uh and Andy asked last night what my new goal should be because we hit 50 50k on YouTube. Uh I think getting Adam Lavine for an Inerson Champions Tour minute would be an absolutely hilarious turn of events. So maybe I have to go investigate the Maroon Five situation. Would you ask just a random person to film you? Yeah, right. Why wouldn’t I? I’d rather you talk to another one of the five maroons. I mean, we get enough of Adam Lavine. I mean, I don’t Is he interesting? He’s got tattoos. He was on The Voice, right? Or one of those shows. He’s He’s apparently a golfer. I’m sure he’s sad about missing Tahoe, right? You know what I’m regretting? We should have sent you guys to the boys to Tahoe for just You could have set up a We could We could have done lunch with the boys. We could have been every day a lunch with the boys. They would have been into that. The tournament next year. Write that. Write that down. Write that down. They did a bunch of stuff with that tournament in a prior job. They are eager to do stuff. Next, lunch with the boys car wash at the at Tahoe would be incredible. Previous guest, uh, you know, potential presidential candidate Josh Shapiro. That’s what we would just put on the on the cold email outreach. No love, no love for Cam. Potential Ryder Cuppper Cameo. 2025 Open Champion Cameo. Last, but certainly not least on the schedule for the week, the US Adaptive Open is on Wednesday on Golf Channel from 2 to 4 PM. Uh, this is the first time it’s ever been on TV. The fourth uh running or the fourth iteration, fourth edition of it. Um, I went over there today to Woodmont. It’s right in my neighborhood, a you know, posh primo country club in the nation’s capital. And, uh, I thought it was it’s, you know, it’s incredible. It’s incredible to see up close. It was hot. It was muggy. It, you know, it was not necessarily pleasant for golf. And, uh, it’s just, you know, to say they’re doing this for love of the game, I think, is trit [ __ ] but because it’s obvious. Um, but, uh, to see it up close and personal was, um, was inspiring. I think, you know, we go to a lot of events. I think like professional golfers um like the talent that’s been bestowed upon them can become as much of a curse sometimes as a blessing, right? And uh you know it’s just this is what they’ve been given and they got to that they have to be a competitor now and chase it and you know the other the other impacts or aspects the the benefits of golf can be lost. I mean it’s a profession. It’s no fault for them. It’s it’s uh it becomes purely about the money that can be made and the competitions that can be won. And that’s not really how golf is for a lot of people or all almost all of people. And and here you have uh a competitive element for people who’ve had, you know, either they’re born with disability, had like, you know, a horrific accident uh or some sort of disease or illness, something that, you know, has led to them, you know, uh their circumstance. Uh it’s it’s so they’re clearly like they don’t need to be playing golf, right? they they maybe shouldn’t have to that don’t want to play but they’re they’re doing it because there’s something right beyond just money and and and they trying to win these this is a competition I think that’s why they love it because you get you lose elements of competition um uh and that’s what sort of parolympics can do and the adaptive open can do and whether it’s enjoyment restoration you know exercise it’s like all these different things that we get from golf and seeing that seeing people sort of persevere through whatever circumstance was was inspiring. I I followed this guy uh Issa Narb. He was an Alps tour Alps tour player. He well first of all he was from Cameroon. His mom died when he was 11. He was living on the streets. Um and uh you know decided to pick golf balls to make money to make to buy food. So he’s comes from that circumstance, then he gets into golf from Cameroon, gets his becomes one of the best players in Africa, is on the Alps tour, uh contracts menitis when he’s in Egypt on a tour event, and he’s in a coma for like five days. They have he loses both legs below the knee. Uh like when he came out of his coma, like all his limbs had what they call like necrosis. So like the cells were dead. And so he he like has all but two fingers uh like his thumb on his left and lost both limbs uh legs below the knee. He was on the Alps tour and so like to watch him hit he does like this ace bandage thing on his left hand so like he can hold the and like wraps it around the grip of the club with his hand and then puts his right hand on the club and yeah he has two prosthetic legs and you’re like you know he’s happy. He’s It’s like he’s out there playing golf. He wants to win. He wants to compete. He’s like, you know, uh you know, this is like this is an honor to do this. You know, you can live your life and dream still out through sport. And this guy who was like had a I don’t know if he would have been a pro or or a pro with any like long lasting impact, but he was there and now he’s doing and it’s just full of stories like that. And so, uh, it was meaningful for me to see up close where, you know, they’re pissed. Like this one kid hit a bad shot and he screamed the f- word out loud like they’re competing like us. And uh, but like I don’t know, just with yourself when you like have a shitty day out there, it’s like God, you know, or or you know, when we watched the Scottish Open and guys battle for $9 million, it was an interesting perspective to see people. Uh it also co some of these guys are legitimately really good. Kip Paer uh who’s leading he he’s into the final qualifying for the USM and obviously he’s going to he’s going third in a row. Shot 61 on Thursday or Monday I guess would be first round and um the kid in uh the seated category Max Tuscani uh shot 67 like or tagal Tagasala Max Tagasala. So, uh, shot 67 in the seated category. I don’t know. It’s it’s kind of an incredible to see up close and a little bit of a refresher. Um, so adaptive open good on the USGA for for creating this championship. Woodmont like fully behind it. They did their whole south course, Andy, like the renovation work to like accommodate uh like ADA compliant, like to be able to take carts on the green pads, you know, carts and bunkers and things like not like the typical golf cart, but uh like the club got really behind this. The USGA is behind it. I don’t know. That’s my event of the week. It was awesome uh to see up close. I’ll be back on Wednesday for the final. Uh that’ll be on 2 to 4 on Golf Channel uh on Wednesday. news. We don’t really have anything. Billy Billy Foster is Morali Morawa’s new caddy on that roulette wheel. Uh we also have renderings of Trout National, the clubhouse Trout National. I reached out to It’s understated. It’s not understated. It has a chapel allegedly. This is where Josh Carpenter shared it. I don’t know. I guess you’re there on a weekend trip. You want to go to service. They’re going to have a chapel. This is of course Mike Trout’s club designed by Tiger Woods. Uh in conjunction I reached out an interesting AI rendering reached out to a very highly respected interior designer in my area. Friend Katie I probably wants to be anonymous. Um said the first opinion is the logo looks like a car dealership which I would agree with that. Said the renderings feel like a modern Texas ranch me meets upscale Florida hotel. They have golf clubs as you know fence posts you know inside these cabins. It’s interesting renderings is all I would put as as Trout National starts to take off. The other another person weighed in and said it’s a cross between Dulles airport and the Ritz Carlton which is another interesting uh blender cocktail. That’s tough. Um so that’s your Trout National. Uh I think that does it for this Wednesday episode. full docket, full schedule, everybody. I hope you lock into the Isco this week with me. Get your coffee golf merch to watch the esco. That’s why that’s why we’re doing it. Late afternoon, overcaffeinated afternoons with the esco. All right. Could be it could be the next trend. We’ll talk to you on Friday. Bring live Valdderama into the equation. Then we got more golf. Talk to you then.
