Hello everybody Welcome to how we live golf uh I’m one of your co-hosts Pete mccubbrey joined by the other co-host Kobe yeton um it has been 54 years today big day since the birth of Mariah Cary 49 years to the day of the maybe even better singer Fergie and
Surprisingly it’s been at least seven days since Rory has been acting like a little I haven’t heard much from him this week so all of that leads to this and Cole what’s this this is the how we live podcast uh podcast dedicated to all things live golf players the news
The events uh obviously the tournaments with throughout the league we’ll be touching on all of those things but thanks so much for joining us um Pete that Fergie 49 holy cow Fergie’s 49 she looks good for 49 Mariah Carri 54 she looks good for 34 if you ask me
It’s just a big day in music is it weird that every time I hear Mariah carer I always think back to how’s Nick Cannon doing Nick Canon’s I I can’t tell if he’s doing well or not he’s got I think probably 15 kids not not exaggerating
Guys gotta chill out a little bit that’s what I think about when I think about Mari care Nick Canon I don’t know that’s got to be tough for Mariah Carey because she’s got so many hits and hits and hits and then when people think about her it’s just Nick Canon
Drumline yeah tough well we’re gonna get into everything outside of Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon and specifically within the live golf league 2024 um obviously we’re on a bit of a playing Hiatus here coming into Miami we’ll get into Miami in just a little bit but there has been a couple little
Uh announcements out of uh the live golf tour 2024 moving in uh specifically live golf and JCB a prominent construction agricultural equipment manufacturer have partnered on the UK swing uh coming in towards the end of July uh we’re going to be having the JCB golf and country club in Staffordshire England uh being
Part of this uh it’s uh coming off very similar to the John Deere classic of the PGA Tour we got the JCB uh Team who is actually put together and built this golf course for those of you who have not seen or taken a look at this please
Just go down and Google JCB golf and country club in Saffire England it is beautiful um but it’s also kind of unique for a lot of the uh English players on the live golf tour to come back uh I imagine the the crowds are going to be very big and everybody’s
Going to be very excited to see the likes of like Tyro Hatton obviously leel Westwood be pter Paul Casey who’s just raging right now on the DP World Tour recently which we’ll get into it just a little bit obviously coming off of a close second in Hong Kong um Pete have
You just do yourself just pop up your phone and take a look at soon as you said to the listeners even though I know you sent me this days in advance I didn’t do it but I I just brought it up this place is ridiculous JCB golf and country club and
Also the pictures are outrageous because it’s on the water in England and yet every single one of the pictures it looks like Southern California it’s like one of the most beautiful golf cours I’ve ever seen it also looks like they have a bit of a PE Beach situation going
On H they they have that an island hole what have an island hole going on it’s a really cool course I think what’s even cooler about it which gets my mind kind of looking towards the future here is they have like these beautiful I don’t know Scandinavian type
Cabins right on property that you can stay in um I think in future golf trip sounds great uh yeah it it it looks beautiful just fantastic and when you have a golf course that’s also been built by a agricultureal like Landscaping type Manufacturing Company they’re gonna put
Out like everything they’re gonna do all all the things if your golf course is named after a landscaping company then it better be good but also you just reminded me I can’t think of anything that’s been described as Scandinavian that’s not incredibly beautiful I know but it’s like it’s like vertical
Wood wood clabs like I don’t know like dark frame Windows like everything’s looking out of the golf course it’s like super beautiful I don’t know I we should we should make a trip make a trip make a trip everybody make a trip we should go to JCB maybe after hearing this JCB will
Give us an invite give him a shout on the Pod yeah yeah I want to talk to the grounds crew of the JCB um before it actually happens so we’ll get the ground screw guy down here and uh we’ll figure it out you know see exactly which cabin
We should stay in and why but it’s interesting in the in the notes and um we mention it’s the last International stop but to me isn’t all of live International like what’s what’s the home base there for live golf I mean it’s got to be in Saudi Arabia somewhere jeda I
Don’t know but but um the the I mean it’s just it’s Global it’s bouncing around the world I mean we’re going to Miami coming off of Hong Kong that’s that’s the thing it’s 14 events across the globe and you know it’s this is just what’s happening they just recently
Announce what’s going to be going on in July of this year um specifically in the UK swing so where are they going to be stopping the UK um very cool stuff um but also in recent news uh big news is out of Phil Mickelson’s back he his
Caddy Tim nichon who his brother is uh retiring uh since being his scatty since uh 2017 um so it’s pretty big news walking off the bag it’s big news um it’s amazing they lasted that long I mean Paddy the caddy golfer relationship is probably difficult enough and then
Adding your brother who you’re like more likely just explode on for for some reason um it’s been a long time and I think uh just for the listener I think this is something Kobe and I have always found funny is just a famous person with a brother uh so I think we
First noticed this when we found a esteemed US President Barack obra Barack Obama had a brother named George so I’m Barack Obama this is my brother George Obama and something very F me that I’m Phil Mickelson that’s my brother Tim Mickelson he’s the cadd so Tim Mickelson huge shout out to Tim
Mickelson a round of applause for Tim melson for really put for the great effort probably so good at golf but not quite good enough because who was it uh who’s whose brother got on the the tour for no real reason at all Brooks Brooks C his brother within within a year yeah kind
Of a tough Run for the for the kka brothers but Brooks is doing great that’s a huge run so shout out to Tim Mickelson giving up the bag so do we have any idea who Phil’s gonna turn to or so right now Phil has been practicing he’s getting ready for the Masters he’s
Getting ready for live golf Miami Etc Yan yarro uh is rumored to be his caddy uh seen practicing with him at Augusta um so that’s kind of what’s gonna happen I mean uh John yarra is like a very experienced cat he’s been out there for a long time um helping all sorts of
Different guys no really big names but um still putting his time in so we’ll see what happens it’ll be interesting to see how it is applicable on the on the live tour um and how well Phil does in obviously the Masters so we’ll we’ll see what
Happens but either way I mean Tim that’s a big it’s a big tournament to make the switch yeah a couple weeks out I mean Tim Tim must talked to him be like look but I’m like I’m kind of done I’m like probably borderline the richest caddy in the world so
Deuces yeah but I mean the best the best gear outfit for a caddy is in the Masters definitely you’re in the Ghostbusters jumpsuit I feel like I’d want one more take that right off in the sunset yeah you think you think like all right like let’s play in the Masters one more
Time yeah that’s a that’s a good point Pete I don’t know been fall out we’ll have to we’ll have to get Tim he claim that he claimed that he wanted to spend more time with his family I think he has like two young kids well that’s an interesting excuse though
Gold isn’t it you want to spend more time with your family so you quit from working with your brother so I mean there family right there family’s G to come a little bit of a dichotomy I’m sure that the uh I mean maybe there’s like the Global Travel of X Y and Z
Where like Phil I feel like Phil’s I I don’t know how old Phil melson’s kids are we can look this up maybe you can look this up while we’re talking about it but how old are Phil Nicholson’s kids and where are they dispersed across the world um that might be something
Different maybe Phil’s in a totally different place where his brother Tim melson is in kind of like the early days of building a type uh family but Phil melson known as Lefty is now a household name but rarely do people know about his personal life he’s the proud father of
Three kids two daughters and one son ages this is um I’m a little bit worried about this Google Search because I don’t know how people know this stuff uh his oldest daughter is 23 starting at Brown yeah looks like Samuel Evan Samuel Mickelson it’s 19 years old he is
Studing he’s studying at the famous School Orange Coast County College athletics and is L A major there just like study he’s just studying he just kind of studying there and then there the last child it doesn’t say just says Phil’s wife Amy is a former NBA
Cheerleader and uh she was a member of the Phoenix Suns cheerleading squad so got it they’re all over the place so the point point being is that Phil’s kids are older he’s in a different stage of Life his brother Tim nichelson his kidss are younger and so he wants to spend
Time with them and he’s probably made a load of money writing on the coiles of Phil with really since 2017 prior to that um was uh bones who is now JT’s uh caddy uh Jim Mackey but at the same time you know going on to you know John
Yaro it’ll be interesting to see what happens like what happens Within not only live but like how he does in the majors Etc like it it’ll be pretty cool to see if there’s any major changes in his game or like if he ends up getting
On top but he had a lot of success with his brother too so it’s like what is what I saw a great video of Bones on uh I’m sure you’re like this too we got a lot of on the Instagram recommended for you page just some golf videos and Bones
Was the caddy for Woods for quite a while yeah the guy’s been around he’s a legend at one point checked the Wind by taking a big haul of a cigarette and then blown it out to see where the where the smoke went I’m like that’s that’s
The cadd you want that’s C you want so kind of looking forward to uh live go Miami here we got not this coming weekend the following weekend April 5th to the 7th uh Trump National Dural in Miami beautiful course um they’re actually playing What’s called the Blue Monster I thought PE you
Being from Boston having an idea about what you know stadiums that resemble type monsters out there you know you got the green monster in Boston but this is the blue monster um Trump Dural uh Anthony Kim will make his first start on us soil um pretty excited for this one I
Got a feeling that it’s going to be just rampant with people I was looking at ticket sales today like if you want if you want Friday or Sunday it’s like pretty much like 60 bucks to get a ticket to this thing that’s amami yeah it’s Fant for just grounds you just want
To go to grounds 60 bucks right now just for reference if you’re not a big sports fan uh buddy of mine asked me the sweet 16 the NCAA tournament is in Boston this weekend Yukon which is New England school so maybe that’s part of it they’re playing tickets for the bleachers which
Is you know 7 750 rows back they’re going for about uh $488 the cheapest ticket you can go to Miami and watch friend of the podcast Anthony Kim for 60 bucks that’s incredible yeah all day long and you’re you’re not all day Boston in March yeah
For four for four or five hours go down there you you can get a three-day pass right now for 160 bucks and go for all three days grounds grounds pass all all three days spend $388 to see two hours of play play kind of shitty basketball
For two hours yeah oh my God ridiculous so I mean like for for you like are you excited for the Miami rounds like outside of teams what players are you looking to come out and put their game to the test I’ve been looking at the standings I’m always looking at my boy
Wen I know you love nean wasn’t it not a flash on the pen either and I know we don’t I don’t think we’re we’re bringing up visuals anymore but I believe he’s in he’s leading the whole thing number one numeru as they say in Chile um yeah
Killing in 97 points across the board John ROM close second at 57.4 two points yeah Neiman Neiman is just crushing Dustin Johnson Paul Casey Abraham aner obviously Taylor G Bryson Jambo in seventh but you know it’s it’s it’s a knockout round it’s it it is the
Most fun part of live golf is watching these guys go head to-head and just like Battle of the Titans bash into each other a bunch of guys I think that’s amazing you L like the top seven there that’s so incredible that Liv has is where they’re at like the the best of
The best you get Bryson in seventh yeah yeah people don’t even know right after right after Bryson cam Smith Lou St in Charles how the thir like it’s like it’s it’s everybody that you want to see and then like also like if you’re going down there and you’re looking to like
Have a good time in Miami and see a fun golf tournament for 50 bucks 60 bucks you could have a good time in Miami for 60 bucks I’ve never been but I I imagine it’s pretty easy so um yeah it’s gonna be interesting in a week
And a half week week week and a half um what what’s going to happen down there everybody’s kind of like I feel like training towards the Masters right now at least for the people that are in it um you know you you look at these like Bryson Sergio Garcia tyell Hutton Dustin
Johnson Brook K Adrian Phil mson Walky Neeman John Ron Patrick Reed Charles schel um Cameron Smith and Bubba Watson it’s like 13 players all playing in the Masters live big Liv contingent boom just dropped right in the middle if if there’s a guy from Liv who’s gonna with
The best chance to win The Masters and I’m going to eliminate uh John rum who do you think it is on the PGA side or on the live side like just anybody on the live side I to be John Ron the reigning champ maybe Brooks cap kick because he’s so
Like dominant Majors I think Scotty schler is just on a tear right now too um his his putting seems to be lining up really well been ridiculous lately ridicul but W Neiman also just like wild card like from from Chile just like I’m here vamos like
Like on Theos let’s go I’m ready we go yeah yeah I could see Wen Neiman being very close I hope he’s not like doesn’t get injured or like anything stupid like that um I don’t know like all these guys like DJ John ROM cam Smith like they can
All they play inde but I think they’ll be I think they’ be the best thing for golf if one of these guys one of these lived guys wins the Masters yeah imagine if John ROM just returns returns and uh re Supreme defending Champion live golf transfer boom huge love
It moving on to the mly of the week we talked about some of the top players earlier on but at the same time we have to focus on some of the guys that we just expect a little more out of um these are guys that have reced zero
Points across the board the entire season we’re on to our fifth event I believe out of live golf in Miami coming up in a couple weeks you had guys like samua Lee o Ogle tree um yeah Peters Kazuma or Kieran venson is also on this
List and we’ve got to get kieren on this podcast who we got to learn a little bit more about him because I want to like him but he’s got zero points on the board Meo Pereira Lee Westwood swaer and of course making his return to the Molly of the week list
Aka the AK list Anthony Kim zero points we gotta get we gotta see some of these guys rise up out of the ashes and start producing a little bit of points here just make it a little bit more competitive that’s that’s one two three four five six seven eight guys zero
Points Anthony Kim is the the new melan of the week see can’t get read the AK the AK of the week this is the AK of the week um want to see him do well I mean really want to see him big football fan I always try to turn around to that
Anthony Kim reminds me not in personality but of jamus Winston where he’s very capable going out throwing for 350 yards and four touchdowns no picks extremely capable of just an absolute disaster every single time he goes out I think if we’re being honest with each other that’s that’s why you watch
Golf like you want to watch somebody be great you also just want to watch guys that are just like yeah we’re we’re struggling just like you could be anything so up and down I think we we shouted him out he had a disaster of round the next week we had Ouran of
The week he was like up at the top now who knows that and the Kong Kong shot 5 under like we’re just we’re just we want some consistency mostly I think we’re just excited to see him play again and again again we uh we we might I don’t
Want consistency from him I want him to be a wild card every single time yeah maybe and I got a feeling he’s going to be but every every week we’re going to talk about him because he’s fun to talk about moving on to the approach news this is the team section news of
The podcast um not a whole lot of that team news obviously with the L and play um I just want to say before you get started I’m worried say about the High Flyers right now yeah that I was gonna say I had High Hopes it’s bad I didn’t mean to say that
But I did have high hopes for the High Flyers and they’re a disaster yeah is that well we’ll get into why you are latching on the High Flyers but in just a second but I think one of the one of the big things um coming out of team
News if I had to wrap it in team news Paul Casey’s performance at the DP World Tour Porsche Invitational in Singapore he got a special invite to this tournament he went into it from Porsche long ter long time poor sponsor this must be nice like what does that
Mean you’re sponsored by Porsche yeah let’s let’s focus in on that for like two seconds so do they send you a car and you drive it around you let them know what you think or do you just wear the logo and then they send you a car
And you don’t ever talk to them again I don’t the problem is I don’t think you get a car I think like you gotta get a car you got you don’t get like a hat yeah I think I think you do I think you just get a hat and then
Hope you’re invited to DP World Tour events yeah either way Paul Casey comes in fourth in the DP World Tour um Porche Invitational in Singapore um blasting away like significant uh players and playing with the likes of Matthew pan obviously sheane Lowry was playing in this didn’t play particularly well um
But was playing well in the PGA Tour so Paul casy is right up there but due to uh DP World towards affiliation with um the PGA uh he still relinquishes all will ranking points get zero ranking points coming fourth in this tournament um but if we look into this what this
Might mean for Crushers GC Bryson to shambo’s team I think Paul Casey’s like here to stay he’s like coming right off Hong Kong where he played in the playoff came came in second comes in fourth in DP World Tour event um which really good players are playing in uh Crushers GC
Probably feeling this and at the same time they’re at the top of the rankings right now so they are moving in momentum as we move throughout this Live season Pete your thoughts on Paul casy and the crusher GC um The Crushers GC I mean that’s that’s by far probably the best name and
They’re kicking ass but I just want to go back to why I’m worried think about the the High Flyers yeah you’re you’re kind of tough I mean Crushers at the top at 100 points so far leading this season the High Flyers at 2.33 points 2.33 and they have an
Elite list of names not in terms of golfers just in cool we got a Phil Mickelson formerly Tim Mickelson we have a steel and I’m sure it’s tringale but it’s triangle we have an an augle tree and just like mikkelson steel triangle in ugle trees that is such a good group of
Guys and they just they’re just not they’re just not doing it uh Stinger Stinger GC also uh real quick I don’t like the GC by the way Golf Club yeah I don’t like it just stay the S it’s a soccer thing where the ERS with the High Flyers with the range coats um
So that that name that name convention aside I just don’t I just don’t like how they’re doing because they should be they should be near the top and like maybe it’s the team chemistry thing or I don’t know what’s what’s going on there there’s not playing well which is part
Of the problem I mean Crushers tqu smash Legion 13 even like are doing good like going into this next tournament again with that this is what I want to talk about I want to talk about what is the team mentality going into this because it’s significant money like
It’s freaking three million bucks that the team gets split and goes towards your team budget like generational basically yeah yeah but like these other teams are also like I think um Team smash recently partnered with an appar company like they’re using this money to invest in like the whole team brand and
Like what apparel is going to look like and like all this other stuff so they’re using it that’s that’s the interesting part it’s like this is money that we have equity in and let’s like build a brand around this whole thing um so when you have a team like the High Flyers all
You have is Phil nichelson which is unfortunate for the other people on the team because Phil’s not playing particularly well and I mean he’s had a couple good tournaments this year but at the same time we’ll see what happens when his brother leaves for you know retirement and he gets John
In and the whole the whole deal but same time and me like Crushers T smash Legion 13 like the hungry teams that are out there with people that are still very competitive and still very enthused like the the team ranking will be close like it’s not I know 100 points
From The Crushers to the tqu 58 sounds like a lot but you get you know 30 34 points when you win when you’re when you win a tournament 24 when you come in second and like 16 when you come in third so there’s uh still plenty of
Events left we’re only on the Fifth Fifth event of this year so we’ll see what happens I mean we’ll we’ll kind of pay attention of what news comes out but I know Paul case is working I mean I’m sure everybody’s working hard on everything that’s going on on leading up
To the Masters too you have 13 guys that are preparing out there so I feel like Miami is going to bring a lot of very competitive play so I feel like I’ve been reading the comments um about this podcast which I know I shouldn’t do
And I keep hearing that one of us and it’s you Kobe is the only one that knows any Mode live or golf so I have a trivia question for you yeah every team has one Captain there’s one that has three three captains out of four do you know what team that
Is uh the Majestics God damn it God damn it they’re the only ones that have multiple captains right only ones that I know they have three but oh can I name them E poter Lee Westwood and I don’t know who the third one is three captains out four players
That’s kind of weird noce at the top of the leaderboard so they have Ian poter Lee Westwood Stenson and then great golf name horsefield yeah stenson’s probably the third Captain because he like was going to be the captain of the Ridder cup and then he joined Liv and then they booted
Him but either way so kind of moving on from from team news I think uh like looking back you can’t Ru Out The Crushers because they’re kind of leading up and then Paul case’s game and Bryson Shambo and the whole deal torque smash I mean Legion 13 I just
Want to get Kieran Vincent into the game get him into the game Caleb Sarat is doing great on tour he’s playing competitively and he’s making great shots Sharon Vincent get in just push him in push it in yeah moving on uh 19th Hole kind of talking personally about
Golf games a little bit me myself um going back to Florida on Friday uh for Easter week visiting family down there definitely prioritizing a game of golf nine 18 whatever it is and I’m also prioritizing trip to PGA Superstore because I didn’t make it last time and I
Will force someone to fit me for a driver um yeah might have a might have actual series on this podcast about breaking the slice um do you think it’s the driver’s fault yeah 100% condescendingly like it because you get no yeah it’s definitely the driv fall cuz my swing is impeccable I’ve
Been told multiple times people stop dead they pull over from the side of the road um like wow I can’t believe that’s so sliced your swing is impeccable people get out of their cars it’s like sometimes I have to make sure I can’t really start on the first te because
It’s so exposed to the road I have to usually they make me start like 34 shun start yeah exactly um so yeah you I’m actually playing my first outdoor round of 2024 on Saturday which I’m pretty excited about uh the first time I’ve played the best golf I ever played in my
Life which wasn’t even that good but I broke a 100 broke 100 on 19 holes by the way so maybe in broken 95 I was playing your uh 3-wood out of the bag and so I remember you play it out of your mind I bought that club in the parking
Lot so so excited first time I get to play with that so my first outdoor round of the season is on Saturday playing on a local mun pretty excited about that and then you must have not gotten the two feet of snow that we got over the weekend yeah you did go two
Feet that’s tough what’s tough is that when you’re your grounds keeper guy sends an email out to all the members and like two weeks ago like Hey we’re thinking about this day and that day passes he’s like yeah that’s not the right day and then he’s like hey we’re thinking about this
Day and it’s March 29th and there’s two feet of snow on the ground you’re like he’s not even going to bother emailing members because the members no no he not um but I’m going to have a round in that’ll be my probably my last round before we go to Texas
So yeah I was hitting on the on the Garment approach r10 in the garage earlier today uh just like kind of swinging figuring out just really trying to like focus on turning the hands over on the driver but I don’t know maybe we should do a podcast we have a couple
Couple swing shots in the in the garage on the Garin and and get some get some comments figure it out I get some feedback yeah problem feedback on it when you’re swinging so often like playing with three other guys and you’re hearing three different things like
Lock but I think it be good you put yourself in a vulnerable position when you start asking for advice because it comes from Left Field all over the place I know I know well that being said I want to thank everybody for joining us tonight on how we live podcast I want to
Thank my co-host Pete mccy and please like subscribe and Comment
