This decade yeah you know they got to get it in these next couple years squeeze it in and then it’s going to be a slow downhill yeah yeah everything it all hurts I was saying the opposite is I think because you’ve put so much in your body’s like we can handle anything at

Where this is her upbringing every character is Barb every character is my mom it for sure yeah can you do a really good like North Dakota like accent oh yeah sure I always say like I got a couple of cousins that live right around there and near I had family that lived

In like North Dakota for a bit so it’s a lot of this every time I go home I got I have four cousins four boys and they’re all crop dusters they got a family business at crop dusting what do you mean by that you can get paid for that

Yeah I did it five minutes ago full-time job nice but every time I see them they say and they go hey Hannah how’s the whole acting thing going the whole acting thing my favorite thing is they they call each other H they go hey hun

Yeah hey hun hun hey hun oh you bet Co Fargo is an excellent show yeah and it brings a lot of awareness to that region of the country that doesn’t get highlighted very much in media yeah people think that they’re just just dumb Hicks but they’re actually but now they

Know that they also murder people yeah how interesting and they justes very polite about it dang yeah uh this was I guess technically the Christmas episode real quick before we get into the interview with Kayla uh favorite Christmas song or songs FAL La Justin Bieber okay yeah

We’ve heard it from my mama you guys know it that’s it that’s the song yeah it’s also just an insane song to be written yeah is that you’re singing it as a little boy yeah the person singing the song is like I’m a little boy for this part it’s

Creepy and sad and bad so weird yeah uh I’ve been listening to a lot of sad Christmas music I don’t know I love it you know like last Christmas is sad but fun Last Christmas by last Christmas break a l Christmas Without You Dolly paron Kenny Rogers is everything okay

Kup I’m taking of the curic scene right now nice uh Kayla is Rich the best and I’m excited for everyone to meet her um and she’s a girl F first first lady guest on the podcast really the time the first time there’s two girls in this room yeah isn’t that

Crazy I intentionally didn’t clap because I think it should be normalized but the men all claps because they don’t really not there want to feel like they’re doing something I thought you did clap did you not clap I didn’t clap because it’s it should be normal that

There’s another girl here but you guys got I meant when we said there’s a girl on the podcast I didn’t even realize cuz I don’t even see Jinder it’s been actually a huge problem for me I go in the wrong bathroom all the time disaster that would explain so

Much yeah I thought there was so much clapping going on when you did that I thought you did it but it was just Seth and Paul y’all clap too much when she said there’s a girl here yeah they got really amped they try to make it sound

Like we have like a bunch of different types of people back there we got girls boys everybody yeah there’s like 12 but it’s really just two male employees of St Andre just two guys team members just two guys yeah yeah um how you got to we got to get you

Out of here because you’re going to your your big time job of head pro at Bobby Jones Golf Course big time the money maker how you’re how old are you I’m 27 27 you’ve never asked any of our Ma you know how much I weigh too how much do you earn annually guys

I’m going to throw up he’s never asked a man on this podast how old they are but he has to ask the girl so impressive okay I know Aaron and now he’s going to find way the next three male guests we have he’s going to find a way to ask him

How old absolutely and even if yall don’t remember I’m going to do that just to cover my bases I say that because head pro is a BFD okay that’s right big freaking deal yeah oh we can’t curse on this one you you totally can they Han has proven that you can a

Lot even when you know you she does it really well I do it so good um yeah that that’s my job and I guess yeah I am pretty young for that role thank as far as like the demographics of people who are head Pros I wouldn’t imagine there’s

Very many women in very many like people in their 20s but here I am yeah it’s awesome go get them Trailblazer when when did you get that job like the official AUST of this year so I’d been at the course since March of last year

So I kind of went through um almost a season and then got promoted head bro that’s so cool did you have to apply or did they just go you’re the one um she had to fight the existing H Pro I don’t know how much I can say I did I didn’t

Apply I honestly I thought it was a joke um my boss kept coming to me and like asking me what color I was going to paint the office and I’m like huh funny like I don’t know what you’re talking about and then he was like no seriously

And he like had a sit down door closed conversation with me about it so oh that’s so cool that’s kind of how it happened I was just more Curious in the golf world yeah it’s like you know actually I guess I don’t really know how promotions

Work you never been corporate how did it worko you were I was corporate but yeah I never got promoted I was only there a year but I didn’t know do you have to you know file a piece of paper and go here’s why I’m qualified or did they

Just I think a lot of times people like apply within the company but but um it was honestly not on my radar I never wanted to be a head pro I never wanted to be a golf pro really from like going from playing college golf and then Pro

Golf that was like not on my radar at all I kind of like fell into it cuz I was like what else am I going to do so I did golf and then I did more Golf and yeah but I love it I will say I didn’t

Expect it I didn’t see it coming but I love it yeah what what are the responsibilities like what do you do on a dayto day um so the Pro is pretty much like the head of the operations department so we just like keep the golf course running and moving every single

Day like make sure the doors open pretty much um I’m in charge of like the team that does that so we’ve got like outside guys we’ve got Pro Shop help we’ve got other Pros um merchandisers like we’ve got the golf shop going on all that stuff a lot of moving pieces and you’re

The head pro of a golf course is very untraditional yeah nine holes that flip Direction every other day yeah it’s uh it’s a lot to explain to people I realize and sometimes I think it should be easier because it’s only nine holes but like when you add in all the moving

Parts and like all the things we have to change over just to get to like the next day it’s it gets a little complicated how do you describe it I I didn’t get it until I played it golf course it was hard for me to understand like

Reversible golf course I don’t know what that means CU those who have never played it Bobby Jones it’s big greens and there’s two flags all the time a red one and a white one and I forget all the time which one I’m supposed to aim at

Usually I just pretend like I was aiming to whatever when I hit it near yeah yeah i’ I’ve played some pretty like non-traditional golf courses before and I will say that Bobby Jones is like the best design because it is meant to be played forwards and backwards and you

Would never know whatever side you’re on for that day I mean it’s like designed to a tea um nice nice in order to do that that’s good she I totally meant to do that she’s good um I think it takes a little bit of an open mind like there’s a lot of open

Space as you all know out there which CU I feel like in order to design that place you had to like knock down a lot of trees so you kind of got to know what you’re doing or you’ll hit somebody and and in knocking down all those trees you

Also planted a hundred more somewhere else everything’s fine with that everything’s cool with that guys wanted them to know that there are a lot of little trees that are planted now that now you can hit over them or like somebody those good at golf could hit

Over them uh but in a few years course can be tougher yeah youthful trees they’re they’re getting youthful trees little kiddos kiddo trees yeah how how would you growing up in a war zone how would you explain the Bobby Jones reversible Golf Course okay you’re there okay and you’re

Hitting the ball I’m closing my eyes you’re there you’re getting lined up to the tea and you’re like man I really feel today as if I’m going to go I’m going to I’m going to go the way I feel the energy is going and that’s white

Teas and so you hit that way and then the next day what is it called aelia there’s AIA Magnolia yeah I have absolutely no idea how to play that course please don’t pick your own te’s all the te’s are white in this is why you shouldn’t ask me to do it I played

The course one time I played the course one time Kayla was behind me very nerve-wracking she’s like I’m just going to do a casual nine with a another employee and I had to hit the ball in front of her and uh it I grounded it I

Grounded it all the way up into the green what is gr you know what I mean yeah a worm burner top that’s you know top it scaled it oh this fancy jargon I smoked it I smoked it smok smoked it right to the green a little low smoke a

Little low smoke it was tough I was a little uh was a little embarrassed I think you did great thanks I remember did you make a birdie that day I did you were jumping up and down I did I made a she didn’t remember from the actual flip off of nine green

Celebration you were way too excited about that birdie I was a little too excited m but it doesn’t happen to me a lot you don’t play a lot all right she’s a busy woman I’m saying you’re birdie to whole average is pretty high yeah that is true yeah we played one time and

There was like two birdies mhm very impressive thanks so yeah I don’t know a lot of quads but two birdies okay how long have you been playing golf um a year okay yeah that’s really good thanks you’ve improved a lot then thank you so much yeah she just agreed to be in some

Dumb videos now she golfs all the time it’s great I know I love it I love it I’ve been golfing since I was in high school I have gained no Strokes on my scores I took lessons at Bobby Jones you have an awesome training facility took lessons with Jason it’s

Pretty solid yeah Jason was great but he couldn’t fix me Jason knows his stuff some people are Unix if can’t do it I don’t think anybody she said some people are unfixable do you still coach um a little bit uh I do mainly like group

Stuff um I tend to like focus on the kids I love teaching junior golf so I do a lot of that and then like we have a lot of interest from like corporate women’s outings kind of thing like team building stuff of like all the local yeah what does that look like when

They when they come are you is are you running it the same as you run a kids camp are they beginners no it’s the women it’s just like happy hour but they like whack a couple golf balls pretty much we park the beverage card or like have a bartender out there and that’s

Those work I’ve never used one um there’s like the little sensor that you like throw on the back of your like belt loop or whatever and you just walk and it goes wherever you go you like a little robot exactly aesome I feel like I would somehow it would end up in the

Bunker or in the lake like have there been any accidents with those um rarely more accidents with golf carts believe it or not those are usually fine cuz they kind of like have an emergency break like they’ll freak out a little bit if CRA like they won’t go over the

Ledge exactly well you know cars they know when where the end of the lane is nowadays and they can I don’t I don’t know what’s going on I will say I don’t know where I am not true because I got into an accident the other day not my

Fault cart or car car and I I was like here’s the future guys and I’m scared of it I was at a red light and this man bumped into the back of me and he’s in a Tesla and he comes out and he was like

I’m so sorry I thought the sensors on my Tesla would tell me when I was getting close to something I was like said that to he said that out loud and I was like so you just weren’t driving he just gave up he’s like you pay for this car to

Have all these sensors and I was like what were you doing like I don’t think he was driving I think he was probably just on his phone don’t admit that to me you know you know what else can warn you about when you’re about to hit something

Your eyeballs yeah that’s what I wanted to say and I just I I was it took everything in me not to um yeah I was like okay um watch the road next time we’ve been we’ve tried to figure out a like a Black Mirror sketch with those

Cards I love that have you seen the World Behind the one with little robots that it’s crazy yeah I think we just well spoiler are you going to spoil no I hope not I don’t know but there’s like a part about like technology going bad or whatever and my phone

Technology my phone stopped working and a bunch of other people’s phones that I was around the other day stopped working I think Verizon had some sort of like glitch and I was like this is it this is how we go while you were watching that it was like two days after I’d watched

Closest one’s over here but is if you want to go to the good CH chcken Crispers are a little crispier this one I remember my job like when I was little was to print out the map quest directions like going to golf tournaments and stuff and my dad always

Screaming and crying in the car like there was just no way to get somewhere right like well your dad was screaming or crying or you were we were both probably screaming and crying because I printed out the directions and then he didn’t want to follow him and then we’re

I’m very is you do you call it mini tour yeah is that a thing okay yeah yeah um it’s very unglamorous so like you think of like the PGA Tour and even like the LPGA Tour and kind of the lifestyle that they live the mini tour life is so

Nothing like that like there’s people that like live out of their cars I mean you just kind of do what it takes to to make it um which I hear a lot of that in like acting and Showbiz and things like that um you you got to ride a dingo to

Your next you know eventally insensitive is it endangered it’s just a stereotype oh sorry I found out you can adopt dingos like you can have them as pets mhm wow yeah but I don’t know I always thought they were like vicious sounds like a trick yeah did a dingo tell you

That it’s like when you see somebody’s walking in their dog and you’re like I think that’s a real wolf like I don’t think that they bought that on the premere cup they look like Shea enu you know like Doge dog you know but just like a little more look like Doge it

Looks kind of like a doge like a doat cat do Australian golfers cuss more than American golfers um when I was in Australia probably yeah this is your time to shine and they say they use they use the CW so much more yes that’s something I noticed

In austr oh they say that one a lot yeah yeah should we do that for this bit yeah this a new seg I like to call do you think you’d ever go back to uh Australia down Anda I just got back actually just this time like for fun

Though yeah Pals um see any of the pals I was only there for like a week and then I was on my way to New Zealand I did see some dingos um they were in like a wildlife center and the like employees were transporting the dingos and they

Just like walk them like on a leash they they were like bodyguards around but yeah wow they just move the dingo to his next location I got to go I got to get over there aon’s got dingo fever right now he really does he can sneak one back

I love it dare you I love it imagine imagine getting on your 16-hour flight from Sydney Australia to Atlanta Georgia and the person sitting next to you has an emotional support dingo for that entire flight he just snarling the whole time middle seat can I make a confession sure

I don’t know what a dingo is y’all been talking what were you picturing when when you didn’t know truly like a kangaroo on all fours you were picturing a kangaroo um leaning forward yeah okay but then Terri scoliosis oh it’s is like it’s like a cute little dog it’s an

Australian wolf dog that’s a dingo yeah but they’re like tan colored that’s just dog do you know what Sheba enu are no can we look up Sheba enu do you know to you don’t make me think like I’m there are Japanese dogs that you’ve seen them just say you invested in Dogecoin I

I did a little doge look oh oh yeah those I’ve seen those yes those look domestic I don’t memorize dogs dude I’m like I don’t walk around going like hey I really like your Sheba enu you are you vegan adjacent what I’m what I eat chicken you can’t okay but you didn’t

For a while no you love animals I love them you don’t know anything about them why would I you’re a fake fan I’m a fake fan I also I’m not like I look at I’m like look I like your cute dog I’m not going up and being like I like your

Australian pepper shitsu I’m like you know I’m not going to memorize the the brand yeah the brand I’m not going to memorize the brand of your the model yeah going to go that’s a pretty dog does it shed that’s the first question I ask cuz you’re allergic no I just don’t

Like when dogs shed it’s just annoying you’re a bad vegan bad vegan I’m not vegan anymore no sounds like a restaurant that serves mostly vegan food yeah bad vegan okay so you saw did you have you seen a dingo did you adopt a dingo what I didn’t I

Did not um I was just hanging out over there played a little golf H yeah I didn’t didn’t get a dingo didn’t bring one home not super interested in that surpris how was how was Tallahassee Tallahassee tala nasty M I wasn’t going to say that cuz I don’t know

If it’s like offensive I feel like it’s fine it’s like it’s our it’s like you can say it yeah exactly exactly um I loved it I the golf program there is awesome it’s it was the hardest thing probably I’ve ever done like it they were really strict um

Like we worked really hard but then at the same time you’re living in Tallahassee and it’s like pretty fun um what was what was so hard about it was it um the hours the yeah it was like having a full-time job and going to school at the same time um granted we

Got a lot of like support in school so that was nice you eat at the nice dining hall for free a bit yes the nice dining hall it was awesome we had a Smoothie Bar in there that was pretty cool um little I I ateed the Auburn Stu or

Like uh student athlete dining a couple times you like save up all your like meal cra credits and you can go and uh it made me wish that I practiced something harder to be able to eat there cuz they had the smoothies they had like just any

Meal you wanted was the best oh yeah yeah it’s awesome there’s tons of options um so that was definitely a perk of it I mean there were lots of perks of it but it was also like really hard work um I’m I feel like that like set me up

For a lot of like discipline and like success in life hopefully I don’t know hopefully I didn’t reach my full success yet but no way you got so much life ahead you cuz you’re 27 I know that because the insensitive man to my right asked you earlier at the beginning of

The podcast don’t let me in with Aaron and his question oh yeah sorry you’re good you’re good boy thank you very much that’s F Andrew Good Boy Aaron bad boy yeah there we go there’s the clip there’s a clip can I ask were you there during jamus Winston National

Championship um that was my senior year of high school was when we won the National Championship but then jamus was there for the year after that and I was there then oh yeah nobody 27 and0 I think whoa yeah that’s crazy not that it matters no it does that’s important I

Flew all the way to California to watch jamus beat Auburn in the national championship was so fun that’s cool such a worthwhile trip I got to Auburn the year after Cam Newton won it’s weird to get there the year after everybody had the best year of their lives yeah yeah yeah everybody

Just like yeah nothing like last year I’m like well this is my first experience so don’t take it away sounds like you’re really by that we can cut that cool can I I had a question yes I you know when I went to school all the athletes there was kind

Of like was there ever a professor situation where they’re like Kayla don’t worry about that assignment you just go out there and swing hard did you ever get that perk maybe for other athletes but I don’t think like women’s golf was really the one

That they cared about um I had to do my homework I did have a tutor but I I did it for the most part so wow I’m just curious did seems like that might be a dream of yours that a teacher would be like hey Hannah what you’re doing

Outside of class is so important we’re going to give you some extra time yeah they’re like we can tell that there’s a you really like improv comedy and that needs to take some of your time so don’t turn in this assignment yeah I can tell that you were like meant for something

More than this so we’re going to cut you some slack yeah never happened what were you were you the best one florid State oh wow that’s a great great question um you say it yeah it’s been a while are any of the other players from your team

Now head golf pros there’s a bunch of them on tour so i’ would argue they’re doing a little better than I am um I I feel like golf is weird like that where it like fluctuates so my at the beginning of my career um so I came out

And played like as a true freshman and our first event was like literally the first week of classes um so I qual ified for that went out and played and I won it so at that time I was probably the best on the team for like that little

Short period of time and then it went like way downhill then um I shot I think I shot 6972 68 maybe yeah wow yeah W that was a fun week yeah yeah I was so scared I thought I was going to Sho myself on the first te and then I won Hannah loves

Calling that’s why wipes stay wrapped you never know you really never know you never know when you might be on the first tea of your college golf career yeah my women’s golf career freshman year eligibility oh yeah you do I do yeah wow I to a little film school yeah and

Andrew doesn’t see gender so he could probably back you up getting on the yeah I’ll write you a letter recommend Asian good to go good good um as a golf pro you have to have seen people doing insane behavior on golf courses I would like to hear some of those stories

Because I’ve seen it just golfing sometimes you’re there every day and also have you have you ejected people from Bobby Jones yeah yeah kick them off the course like a ref yeah cuz go Bobby Jones is the most chill and I feel like when you’re like that lenient with rules people are

Going to like do the craziest stuff like oh there rules here come on guys like we don’t ask for much of you um nothing that crazy we have a few like Rowdy teenagers that I’ve had it tell him to get lost a few times the weird thing

About Bobby Jones is like it’s in the middle of like get off my lawn a dad get lost scram you little well there there was a dad that like came back and like asked me about it and he was like well I heard you told my son that he was like

Suspended and I was like well yeah cuz this is what he did and he was like I I can’t I I can’t deal with him anymore he was pissed wait what was the this you said this is what he did um I think so he showed up is a hip of violation or

Can you tell us no no no this is fine this is actually a good one he showed up with like three of his buddies and walked in the golf shop and he was like yeah these are my friends we’re going to go play I was like okay cool and then I

Go down to like the second hole and there was like 12 of them oh like where did y’all come from and they were all playing together at the same time no no one will notice our 12 some yeah so they had to get lost yeah the dad understood

Yeah that’s awful okay all right Dad was understanding cuz sometimes you’ll get these dads who are like my son is perfect how dare you how dare you reprimand my son my job he’s like my son has 11 friends that’s freaking awesome I never had 11 friends growing

Up dang hey son you should have told me about all your friends I would have been fine with all the breaking of the rules have them over for a pizza party yeah yall got enough to play five on five basketball what are you guys doing playing golf yeah we we’ve talked about

That before we all have our personal line of uh like new school versus old school golf or it’s like I yeah wear t-shirts you know like have fun fun it’s not that serious but then you roll up behind a fome and you’re like you can’t do that that’s against the

Rules yeah 12 I’d lose my mind I’d hit into those kids I don’t know where I stand on the five something yet I don’t know there’s certain cases like I feel like if we were all playing it’d be fine cuz we go fast yeah or CU we’re just

Like the homies self aware oh yeah it’s just favoritism really yeah if you know the five chill if you knew those 12 kids I know a lot of kids and if if there’re 12 cool ones great yeah if I was playing in a fome I would pick up my ball if I

Hit it anywhere inconvenient absolutely I’m just going to play I wouldn’t pick it up I’d be like don’t go over there yeah yeah just littering yeah you don’t find if you don’t find your ball is it littering oh gosh now I got a quick call if you just

Threw a piece of trash in the woods that would be littering well it’s more the uh the deforestation that Bobby Jones yeah yeah the the littering pales in comparison to the environmental impact of we had all the permits they check on the trees yeah I know I saw a guy the

Other day did they recycle the wood or I’m sure they build an orphanage with it they build a house they built an orphanage yeah orphanage in Brisbane Australia they shipped it it’s just housing dingos an orphanage for dingos orphanage for dingos sponsor by Bobby Jones a dingo

Reabilitation that should be a new rule what if every time you lose a ball you got to PL you got to go home got plants like a Pepper or a jalapeno or what if somebody was so for bad golfers they made golf balls that they uh decompose

And turn into trees like uh seeds wow biodegradable golf balls I know they do yeah I need that so when I was in Australia slne Zealand this past couple weeks we went up in a helicopter up to like the top of this mountain and the helicopter pilot had like a couple

Drivers and like a mat in the back of his helicopter so we decided to rip some golf balls off the did you know that or did he surprise you with that um I think we had talked about golf before to so it’d be a if he had no idea you like a

Pro golfer and he was like hey do you want me to show you how to like hit it yeah you give me some advice then let me try have you ever done hustle some people have you ever done like a little bait and switch like people don’t know

That you’re a good golfer and then you like yeah let me uh you ever hustle some fools yeah not really that’d probably be a great idea like make some cash on the side most of the time I just like avoid the subject like if somebody brings it

Up and like asks me what I do I’m like I’m a third grade teacher and yeah and then they’re like interesting oh interesting what is where they’re like What’s 12 time 50 and you’re like oh no cuz if I say I’m a golf pro the first

Thing out of their mouth is like I bet I could be you and I’m like here we go again’s like yeah if you tell people you’re a teacher they’re probably going to like test you on the spot that’s tell me teacher go oh you’re a teacher well what is

Photosynthesis tell me now who won the war only teachers know only teachers know 600 nice did you do the m00 that good 12 * 50 yeah yeah that’s not that hard I had it earlier but I was waiting for a wall oh nice how quickly did you get it

Andre podcast you don’t have to wait too long for a LOL we’re a LOL filled yeah that’s that’s that’s true brother Amen brother let’s start doing calling each other brother we shouldn’t uh what what do you tell people that want to be in golf professionally oh man do you get

Those questions like I want play golf professionally or want to be cuz it’s kind of weird being on both sides of it they’re so different yeah I mean even what we do now like I’ve always been curious like I wonder I don’t know I Aon

Wants to know if he can be a golf pro if it’s too late job openings is what I’m getting at um do people ask you that like I’m I’m you know I play college golf maybe playing professionally isn’t in the cards for me I’m looking for a golf

Career yeah what guidance do you give um well one I don’t think like yes playing golf and being a good golfer helps but a lot of what I do is just like purely the business side of things so um it’s not like a super requirement there are some

Things like you have to be of a certain skill level um yeah I well I would say we need like different types of people out there like we need more diversity like we need more women we need people that like look like us in order to like cater to those

People that are playing the game so um I think that’s a big thing um if you have a work ethic like at all it’s it’s a good one for you every day is different so it’s like one of the most fun jobs that you can have like you’re not in an

Office every day like you’re outside hanging out talking to people so if you like people that’s good um the hours just can get a little bit tricky cuz you’re you’re working for when people are like out there having fun but your job is still fun yeah yeah yeah she said

You have to be good with people so I don’t know if this SS for you jeez yeah a roast nice roast thanks I was sitting on that one you just like you you just you just wiped that dude off the face of the Earth yeah dude wiped him I dud

Wiped him on the face of the Earth hey yo dude wipes call us we need I I set him up you knock him down uh nice try nice try we both got long good long arms you never stop us idiot um I want to ask some things if

You’ve ever seen them on the golf course as a pro okay Bobby Jones specifically anybody ever swim in that gross Pond yes not that gross one of my employees wait say again one of my employees uh lost a bet or something or maybe he won a bet and he was so excited

I didn’t really catch the story but I saw a video where he had jumped gets to swim in the pond yeah lucky it’s disgusting that’s great don’t do it no alligators that’s good no alligator probably had a lot of alligators we did have alligators in Tallahasse you ever

Seen anybody have a bad interaction with an alligator um no thankfully cuz I would be scarred for life okay I’m terrified of them if there’s an alligator I don’t care if we’re playing for money I’m skipping that hole Abol it I’d rather i’ give me a gry white shark

All day what alligators the rolls the rolls they roll and break stuff before you die I don’t like that feel like a shark’s going to kill you immediately yeah it’ll be quicker and uh-uh I’m way more scared of alligators they’re going to bite you cuz and here’s the thing

Here’s the thing about great white sharks is there always testing like an alligator is going to take you down drown you I’m like okay gry white shark is going to Chomp on you and go not sure I like it let me try again still not

Sure if I like it let me try again and then they bite off an entire Limb and then they Chomp on that and then you have to swim limbless back to your boat but then you become Soul Surfer and get a book deal oh no yeah what was her name

Yeah she bet she she’s so glad that happened yeah I bet she’s so thankful for no arm in the book deal what’s Soul surfer’s name producer Paul um the blond yeah the blonde girl Bethany Hamilton yeah nice wow yeah all right so next one um any any people physical fights at

Bobby Jones um no not at Bobby Jones I’ve seen them well You’ were in Florida for a while yeah had to be some fights yeah saw lots of fights lots of alligators lots of fights Lots not at Bobby Jones thankfully everybody’s nice wow okay cool um Bobby Jones known for

Balls can kind of fly everywhere cuz it’s tight and there’s not a lot of trees to block from hitting onto the other course people get hit a lot come back to the clubhouse with big old welts funny enough no I have never actually interacted with somebody that’s gotten

Hit well even if you get hit you go you go straight to the Pro Shop someone hit me who’s in charge I think who’s in charge of what happened to me we’re all adults here so no helicopters coming in pulling people out no okay no

It’s I just like to put the stuff in the universe people are going to be terrified to play there it’s safe no it’s so safe well the old Bobby Jones were you did you ever go before and they did this I heard that was not so I never

Have either but I just have heard horror stories that it was like a very dangerous place to be not nice cuz they crammed 18 holes into what is now nine yeah N I don’t understand how that was possible you say fuia yeah I mean it was

I I saw people get hit at OB babby Jones really there is 18 was a canopy of trees and you couldn’t see you couldn’t see earth like much less the Fairway all you saw was these trees so it’s just Anarchy just yeah and you just have to hit and

You watch people drive down this hill and you’re like I guess I’ll give them like 3 minutes yeah and then you hit and I saw a lot of violence what kind of like violence man on man uh no I remember seeing I remember seeing two people get hit man on tree

Sure when when we lived in New York my dad I think somebody either him or somebody who he was playing with like ran off the street and took his golf clubs off the golf cart and ran away while he was playing what yeah stole him yeah he Chas him CRA that could happen

At Bobby Jones but it doesn’t yeah yeah no he didn’t chase him down he just played the rest of the round with like a seven iron I guess if you’re a thief if you want to get creative and you’re like hey I’m going to steal some stuff for money that is a pretty

Good tactic hey what are you doing what are you doing you can steal people’s golf stuff so easy yeah people’s guards are completely off not just the golf stuff everyone you just keep your wallet and phone in the cart oh yeah and so I know people that have hopped over things

And just like grab it out of the cart and they’re gone what yeah yeah if I’m ever just like pressed hard pressed that seems like one of the easiest ways to just steal people’s stuff we got yeah I’m not I don’t I don’t think I mean I’m pretty I’m very

Successful I’m never going to come to that oh yeah it’s a good backup but a man can dream yeah man can dream yeah reminds me of like cuz there’s been there’s been a lot of video surfacing of people trying to rob just golf stores just Rob people on the course don’t go

To the store and try and STI a club down your pants just take an entire person’s B still live from individuals yeah yeah not corporations they need corporations they need it corporations are the lifeblood of this country Amen brother yeah next thing you know S&P 500’s

Tanking cuz you need to some steal some stuff it’s not going Tri down if you steal from the billionaire billionaires yeah exactly Rob Bill not the billionaires thank you that’s a good one thank you yes um best course you’ve ever played worst course you’ve ever played oh man worst that’s

Mean well best course I’ve ever played um H I like all the Pinehurst courses those are good um and then there’s a course called Bonville in a Australia that is sick it’s like their Augusta National but it’s like in the jungle it’s it’s freaking awesome worst course

I’ve ever played I don’t know like it’s not bad quality-wise um I think it’s called Corkscrew maybe it’s in like South Florida somewhere and it is just like the most absurd like bad breaks like the greens are crazy I just spent the whole day angry whole bit uniled oh

It’s called cork screw yeah oh so they like lean into it yeah they know I think it’s it might be like Arnold P somebody designed it and like played it and was like this course is unfair and they were like bro you designed it I’ve created a

Monster yeah so all right look that up yeah where’s it located here I think it’s in like maybe Naples area let get to a W for Us Fort Lauderdale something like that we’re going to get down to cor crew cor crew if you’re seen this invite us down it’s hard I ain’t

Scared Aero esto gol CL what is it old cork screw Golf Course old cork screw who designed it uh Jack Nicholas Jack Nicholas that was it heard of The Golden Bear the Golden Bear Jack Nicholas a really he’s a good golfer he designed the FSU course or redesigned it actually

He was the Joker in Batman he’s also the yeah that The Shining when he was going through that yeah he was going through his Joker phase and then he designed that course yeah that’s because he was such so like screwy yeah that’s you I think I think Kayla suffered enough do
