stay on John Deere for a minute because uh I tuned in for a little bit last week during the holiday season was lucky enough to catch actually I think you were covering the group you guys were playing little hosle rocket little little hard right on one of those holes I don’t know what holes it was how much blame do you take for that I was said immediately I was like that’s Fleer Fleer that up can we save this subject for the E9 I I got a little something special about that um it was an incredible shot that he hit hitting it right of the scoreboard from 120 yards it was not fleener’s fault the it was a gust away it was like a pure shank it went it went way further in the air than a shank so it was like as far as Shanks go it was good but I was like Fleer had to have done something I don’t think he’ll get mad at me for saying this but that’s literally probably his fifth shank of the Season yeah 20 and he’s 27th on the FedEx Cup yeah Webb used to do it once in event I feel like he played pretty damn good we’ll Circle back to the sh but my man Greg Parker you know Parker he’s out there in the fairways all the time he uh kind of yeah he’s not yeah physically you know what I’m saying physically he’s there but he’s probably been to the John Deere 20 times worked it 20 times he goes Colt been standing in this Fairway for a lot of years it’s first time I’ve ever heard anybody yell four on their second shot of 13 a damn good shot out of the weed the shot out of the weeds was all time that was it was almost to make five after that was incredible yeah just is a bogey is’s a nothing Burger mentally it maybe hurt a little bit but good catting on that chip out from the weed you mentioned the shanks earlier and he kind of gave it away a little bit but I was going to ask if has Scotty Sheffer won more times on the PGA tour this year or JT Poston hit more Shanks I think Scotty’s won like one more time yep six to five so maybe don’t try to catch him I hope not uh do you want me to tell the rest of that story yes sure yeah so we’re we’re first to play in the Fairway Jordan’s Ball’s like 10 yards in front of ours so he hits that shot and he’s just standing there looking at the ground for like 10 seconds and finally I have to be like hey get over here like he’s standing right behind Jordan as Jordan’s turned to hit so he comes over well then Jordan hits his shot and pulls it a little bit left of where he wanted I think he thought the wind was you know blew it somewhere that he didn’t think it was going to so he’s standing there throwing up grass by this time JT’s walked like way on ahead of me because I’m putting a divot back and so I walked past Jordan and Michael and Jordan’s kind of you know M murmuring about the wind and I said I don’t know about yours man it hit ours pretty hard left to right that’s why you’re a great caddy you can make jokes in stressful situations yeah so I could tell Jordan was a little stressed he had just bogey 12 and knocked his golf ball into the woods with his putter so I was trying to lighten the moood in the group a little bit yeah I don’t know if you guys felt that gust we took a hard gust a small tornado a little tornado came through hit ours hard not to harp on the shanking but we will is it a certain club like is it a is it does it creep up with the wedges or is it long irons or just anything it’s been uh it’s been the last two I know for sure have been nine irons you had one at Colonial on 15 uh from the middle of the Fairway they he almost hit onto the street over there I know that street I’ve hit it on that street what’s it called like actually didn’t go Street ended up making five uh it’s where our TV compound is yeah I fired a few over there off the te I’m trying to I I can’t remember the other ones try to forget them yeah don’t blame me everything’s going fine you’re 27’s on the FedEx Cup we can talk about Shanks and laugh about it cuz things are going good next one for you flame why do you think it is that math seems to be more difficult in the city of San Diego than anywhere else particularly maybe Tory pins that’s a great question um I can think of one day that was it was really tough uh it was um I think the reason was because they started that tournament on a Wednesday and usually I’m not ready to I’m Thursday is usually my math day uh like when I really start getting into it and uh Wednesday’s usually like a practice day you know where I’m just like if I get it wrong you know it doesn’t matter uh but yeah told you that one yeah he said just asked him about some of these digits that he still gives you a hard time about it was multiable I missed two I missed two in the same round by how much uh the first one was by like probably 10 yards the second one was by like 18 did you add instead of subtract or vice versa well I mean I can tell the story if you want but on the first one was on we started on the back we were on 13 he drove it in the bunker chopped it down the hill so I had to rake the bunker and he went on down and so once I got down there he had already like stepped some stuff off he was saying all this stuff to me and I’m trying to do the number and I think I added something that I was supposed to subtract or something and he hit it over the green which is a great place to be on 13 at Tory Pines um so he was you know I always fess up I got up there I was like dude that number was wrong so that’s my bad then we got all the way around to S um and you know we’re we’re back on track you know all it’s forgiven like everybody makes mistakes and there was a a middle head that had a number on it and then there was the same front number head like right up in front of it and I went off the uh the middle number had front number instead of going off the actual front number and the pin was like back right one really hard pin and he hit this beautiful shot I me it’s going right at the flag and we don’t see it land and he’s like where is that I was like I think it flew over the green I think it hit the TV tower back there I mean if it wouldn’t hit the TV tower it would have gone in the canyon yeah so he’s snaps his head back around at me was that number wrong like yeah was wrong and ter you know we won’t we won’t go through the play byplay of what was said after that um I will just say that we didn’t talk a whole lot the next two holes and we had a little chat in the parking lot after he came out of scoring but since then I haven’t had any mess ups it was a Wednesday dude you get a pass I think it’s t Pines because your man Matt Irwin when he was on the bag for me got one wrong as well so I think it’s just San Diego’s fault yeah but you know around there there’s a lot of good misses so if you blow it over greens it’s not a big deal long is normally great almost everywhere also shout out matter when happy birthday yes happy birthday to Matt irin about to become a father yeah I know wow incredible they grow up so fast these days sweet Jesus
