We’ll do a quick preview of whatever that thing was over the weekend and we’ll go over the truest championship at the Cricut Club outside of Philly. Steve, you ready for this week, bud? I am. I’m ready to move on from what happened this week. Thank god I didn’t bet a whole lot other than just outrights. Uh, it would have been very poorly for me. Also, didn’t watch a second of live, but somehow I am extremely triggered by that tournament anyways after what happened. We can get to that in a little bit. Um, but yeah, I mean it seems like uh it was we were due for this to happen where so many times last year Scotty just cleared the board double zero hit on the roulette wheel over over and over and over killing all the bets and at least he did it immediately over by Friday. It’s like okay well this is over this point. I don’t have to have the agony of having a guy like him running down one of my outrightes or anything, which they all crop the bed anyways uh at this thing. But yes, I am uh ready to move on. But um you know, today was interesting from the standpoint of he was going for a record at least. Yeah. Um so that was cool. But why don’t we give uh any highlevel takes about Scotty, the state of his game on the eve of the PJ Championship? Um finally getting a win. Does winning at TBC? Craig T. Nelson change anything for you or you know does it really not move the needle at all? Nah, it doesn’t move the needle, right? Like I was scared of him this week for good reason and he’s Scotty Shuffler. You knew it was coming eventually. Um yeah, and look, I didn’t watch past Thursday. I was like, “Oh, this is a [ __ ] wrap.” All my first round leader bets were dead and I knew Scotty was going to win. Like I I knew it to that point. I was like, “Oh, 10 under the first day.” Beautiful. Um no, I mean we’ll see. He’s not in the field this week, which is weird. I wonder why he’s taking this week off. Um, but yeah, it’s uh it’s Scotty. We’ll see. We’ll see you in Mcquail and uh yeah, that’s it. Whatever. Another boring. So, this these past three weeks for golf for me have been miserable. JT, whatever [ __ ] team tournament it was, and now Scotty Shuffler, like it has taken the part of joy away from me. Like, the golf is like a a good chunk of the joy I get in my life and these [ __ ] are taking away from me. I am even more grumpy than usual. Yeah. I mean, I I think if you had to rank the leadup to each major, obviously the leadup to the Masters is number one because you have the West Coast, you there’s all the speculation. You have like 11 tournaments with some big ones in between as far as like who’s going to win. Uh the period between the PGA and US Open’s pretty good because you you got the Canadian Open, Colonial, which is always fun. Uh and you got the Memorial jammed in there, too. That’s a good period. The period between the US Open and the Open is probably the bleakest one. This one’s a close second, though. Uh it’s hard to really deal with the Zurich and this whatever this tournament is has become. This This place should stop holding golf tournaments. It’s a joke. I mean, look, I mean, we’re about to give uh Lanny Watkins 15 million bucks. You know, let him sink his teeth into this thing and uh see what happens. Now, I mean, we we talked about this before the tournament, by the way. their efforts that their halfass efforts this year to toughen it up by narrowing it and growing out the rough. Look, this is similar to my take of what at Cognizant. By the way, when you get uninteresting golf courses with really bad greens and bad green size surrounds, doesn’t really matter what you do to it. It these guys just are going to rip this stuff up if play soft. And really, the only thing to challenge these guys is some cold temperatures and some wind, which is what we saw on Saturday morning, by the way. So, I I end up losing a bet. uh in pretty furious fashion uh as a result of that. By the way, maybe we’ll get to a little bit. We talk about one particular loser uh this week. But um yeah, I mean like I it would have been great. I I was rooting for Scotty to get the official scoring record. Yeah, he tied it. He he he choked in hilarious fashion on 17, by the way. He st he stubbed a chip shot uh short of 17. You know, you know, that’s a green he probably should have hit in regulation. Just two put and get out of there. um to get the record. But yeah, that would have been fun justice to before Lanny Watkins, whatever the hell he’s going to do to this thing to try and uh restore its glory. Um that would have been fitting for it the course basically the PJ tour scoring record to fall. It would have been very fitting at this particular one. That’s fair, I guess. Uh it’s it’s just such a joke. Any place where KH leaves one multiple times, you got Scotty [ __ ] shooting 30 under like let’s call it a day, boys. Let’s find a new one. There’s plenty of nice golf courses in Texas. Let’s pick a different one. I don’t understand why we would go back to Trinity Forest. I like Trinity Forest. Yeah. Seriously. Yeah, that’s a good one. And besides the fact that there’s no tree cover, it’s 95 degrees sometimes and it’s in makes it awesome. It’s It’s in a landfill. Yeah. Guys falling out, you know what I mean? Nice and hot. And you got guys like Shane Lowry on like on Pedialyte and on Death Watch. Like, yeah. I mean, let’s uh this is a good way to do it. Yeah. The problem with that one though was a the players hated it because it wasn’t exactly what they used to like. Uh, and they also really were easy with the setup, too. They watered the hell out of that place. But if they could get that place firm and fast, that’d be an entertaining tournament. I’d rather see that than whatever the hell this place is. So, let me ask you a question, too. Do you lose respect for Scotty Sheffer from winning this tournament? Yes or no? So, like I’ll do I’ll I’ll treat it like I treat like I used to treat the Patriots when like the talk show host would be like, “Ah, it’s a tomato kid. It doesn’t matter. You can only play the teams in front of you. You can only play the golf course.” that you signed up to play, right? So, I mean, it it didn’t make me respect him more, right? Like, it’s kind of like a hit and giggle. It was kind of I don’t know. Maybe I don’t know. I don’t really respect him anyway. He’s so [ __ ] boring. I mean, I would I would respect him less if he only won by like one, but right. Yeah. But like that’s that’s what Scotty Sheffller is supposed that’s what an elite player in a bad field supposed to do. Like people are going to probably say like, “Oh, well, who did he beat?” Well, he beat the next guy by eight. Okay, that’s exactly what an elite player is supposed to do. So, it doesn’t matter at that point who else is in the field. Like, he’s just playing the golf course at that point and he obliterated it. Uh, I mean, that was what we were afraid of. Cam and I talking about the fact that Scotty Shepard actually was putting very well and we were talking about, oh, well, does this place really value good golf and good ball striking? Well, if you hit every iron shot to win them at 15 feet and you’re a great putter, you know, it doesn’t really matter at that point. So, that’s just not how I bet. I didn’t want to bet plus 300. I chose to just go what I usually have to do. My money on fire. Yeah. And it just Listen, it the wheel the wheel landed on bankrupt this week. So, I like I think I’m gonna start calling him double zero Scotty. I like that. Double zero Scotty. Yeah, that’s basically who he is. So, yeah, he’s um so a couple other guys maybe we can talk about. SPath had a very good weekend. Um, shot nine under today, I think. So, he was a little bit of a leaky canoe though again. And I think you only watched on Thursday. Um, how much of speech did you watch, by the way, on Thursday? Did you see most of what was what? Yeah, I saw most of it. Mhm. Yeah, it was the last week. I was Yeah, it was the Potter this week. It’s like, like you said, the leaky canoe with him. It’s uh it’s gonna come. I I feel like it’s kind of has to come together at some point this season. He’s seems like he’s right there. Yeah. I mean, maybe the open. You know, he always seems to do well at the open. He’s a, you know, his game kind of. What does he need for the Grand Slam? He needs PGA. Qual, which I probably would not qualify the PJs. Quell Hollow is a a Jordan speed course, but hey, you know. Oh, definitely. Definitely not. You never know. Who knows? Rory won the M. It is the year of the loser apparently, so [ __ ] maybe he can [ __ ] do it. Easy, easy, easy. But no, I mean, look, I mean, just kind of like with trying to gauge Scotty in the grand scheme of things at TBC Craig Ranch, trying to difficult to gauge uh speed in grand scheme of things at TBC Craig Ranch. Same with like a Sam Burns finishing fifth this week. Who cares, you know? Yeah. So, played great, good finish, but doesn’t really move the needle all that much for me. It’s hard to tell. He plays he plays good at easy ass golf course. That’s what Sam Bars does. Yeah. Um the only other sweat I really had over the weekend I I yesterday morning um I I I was late betting some overs on some of the afternoon guys. I am getting on Rico Hoy for the over. So that was nice. Saturday morning though uh they were hanging 67 and a half for Rasmus Hoygard who had off to a good start. But what I was noticing with the shot tracker was literally anytime he missed a green, he could not get up and down or he’s not good around the green. No, he’s terrible around the green. So he hit his approach on nine, the par five, he was like in the fairway like 90 ft away. I took the over at that point because he was sitting at three under. I’m like, you know, the next couple holes still pretty tough conditions, cold temperatures, north winds, some of the a couple holes in the back, like at least the first like three or four play difficult. Um that bet was looking pretty good. He was two under on his round through 16 after I dodged some bullets on I think 14 and 15. He missed a six and eight footer. Ends up airmailing the green on 17 into a bunker. I’m like, “Oh well, we’re golden here. It’s Rasmus Hoygard in a bunker. What’s the worst that’s going to happen here?” Well, he ends up uh getting up and down from the bunker or getting in from the bunker for birdie two to three under. And at that point, I knew I was screwed because he had the power 518. Ends up uh two putty and comfy for birdie 67. That stunk. That’s really the only tilting I really got out of this tournament because Scotty took care of that on Thursday. But otherwise, yeah, I I don’t really have much else to say about this golf course. I’m looking forward to seeing what they actually do to it. Not it’s not going to matter. It’s a bad place on the schedule. The fact that they’re trying to like it’s it’s a mashup of the old Byron Nelson and the CJ Cup because the CJ Cup used to have that event in Korea. They lost that. Now they’re trying to bring them still in the fold. I don’t know. Not really a whole lot there. So, um, did you watch much of Liv this week? I didn’t watch a [ __ ] second. I didn’t watch anything. You know what makes me mad, though? I forgot until you just said that you were upset about Liv. I was like, “Oh, yeah. There was a Liv event this week.” Do you know who won this week? Uh, it was Bryson. Yes, Bryson. Do you know what my betting card last week was? It was Bryson. It was Bryson. single bullet. I also had Patrick Reed and Carlos Ortiz top 10 best in Mexico. They both top 10 here at Korea. Uh Bubba Watson top 20 again. So if I just ran back my Live Mexico card, I would have won all this. But because of how awful that experience was watching that stupid tournament last week, I’m like, you know what? I don’t want to deal with I’m already deal with one stupid tournament. I don’t want to deal with two stupid tournaments. Yeah, I should have just ran back that card. Like Liv, nobody watches Liv anymore. like it was bad like prior, but I feel like legitimately no one is watching if they could it. Here’s here’s a warning or I mean warning warning here. I mean, I already knew that like whenever we do our LIB podcast, there’s always going to be a dip. There’s a big dip. And I would just think like it’s a golf tournament, you can gamble on it. We love golf, you know, just throw through bucks on it. People do not want to even bet on this thing. And the fact that in the discord last week for the Zurich, people were more interested in sweating the Zurich Classic than live Mexico when you had Bryson and Rahm and Nean and a great leaderboard there. Like this thing ain’t going to catch on. And I I’m resigned to it at this point, but it kind of is what it is. Yeah, it’s not happening, guys. It’s dead. Yeah, fetch isn’t happening. Like, it’s just over. It’s crazy. Um, yeah, I think I’m going to get back in the Discord this week. I took my time out because I couldn’t deal with JT, then I didn’t care about that tournament, and then Scotty started running away with it on Thursday. Like, nope, I’m just just going to step away so my blood pressure doesn’t kill me. So, jump back in this week. Okay. So, who’s who would be the blood pressure golfer this week? Is it Canlay wins? Oh, yeah. Probably. So, but see, I I don’t have visceral hate for him. I just kind of Yes, you do. Don’t care about him. No, I don’t. Listen, I don’t hate him like I hate other golfers. I just don’t like him. Like, he doesn’t he doesn’t get that visceral reaction. I guess we’d find out if he was winning what my re reaction would be, I guess. You know, you know what? I’m we’re gonna I’m going to challenge you this week. I’m going to put Patrick Canlay on my card. just sacrifice that bet to the gods just to get your reaction so I can prove myself right that anytime Patrick Hantlay comes up on a betting Carter in the betting show you get very triggered very it’s because he doesn’t win and he’s like 18 to1 it makes no sense it makes no sense you don’t like the you don’t like the the mega corp hat or the Goldman Sachs or whatever the hell hat he wears so yeah is there a we sponsorship hat yeah that’s the thing is there a weirder sponsorship than Patrick Cantling into wall. He probably has never picked up a power saw in his life. That guy has hands that are as soft as a baby’s ass. Like he hasn’t he hasn’t he hasn’t touched a tool other than his own is an entire life. Like forget about it. That’s true. Okay. All right. Everybody put this uh nightmare weekend and move on to uh hopefully some better things. Oh [ __ ] I hope so, Steve. I need I need a I need a week where I like am engaged with golf again. I have legitimately not been engaged with golf since JT1 because I was so upset by it. I was talking to I was at the the coach’s pool party today and I was like I was [ __ ] distraught when JT won. They were like you were distraught. I was like yes I was distraught. They looked at me like I was a [ __ ] crazy person. Yeah because you knew I was going to stomp all over you. That’s exactly right. I 100% said it too. I was like I got to go listen to [ __ ] Steve chirp at me like they know who you are and I’m just I’m just ranting. Yeah. I mean, well, you also get really upset when you have bad takes that not only you just had, but are actually like in the public record. Oh, yeah. And there was plenty that week. So, I understand how upset you were uh when that happened. So, and you let your feelings know with uh a very salty congratulations you gave me for that. All right, let’s let’s move on. Let’s uh well, before we get to the truest, um you know, obviously like this is a new golf course. It’s very exciting for me uh this week because I think this is the first new golf course I’ve broken down since I can’t even tell you. Well, yeah. I mean I The one with Colin Morawa. What’s that? The tabletop one. What was the one we really like that that hasn’t gone back to the tabletops? Patrick Reid in the woods. The concession. Concession. Yeah, that was No, we’ve had new golf courses incident out of the majors. Have we? Yeah, we had TBC PTOAC. We had Oh, yeah. Yeah, there’s a few more. Um, but no, the last new one I can think of was the Black Desert last year, but you and I got yanked off the we we’re off the air by then, so I didn’t even get to do that course preview. No. So, we didn’t get yanked off the air, by the way. We told we said where we were going and you don’t need to do any more shows. Kidding. So, so this is actually this is the first new one of the of the year like non- major edition that uh we have to do. So, it’s but obviously we’re gonna have It’s where the truest is sponsoring this Philly event. They’re like, it’s a bank based out of North Carolina. I think they bought BB&T. It’s like a southern bank. Well, that’s the thing is this is taking the place of Quail Hollow because Quail Hollow would normally host us, but they’re hosting PJ. So, once it goes back to Quail Hollow next year for basically PJ Championship minus, which is what this thing usually is, uh, Truis would be there. But, you know, because um, you know, this is a new golf course. Obviously, we got some great stuff coming uh down the pipeline at isn and being an insider definitely is going to help you. We’ve had a bunch of guys um you know uh talking in our Discord which is only uh available to our insiders. They played Philadelphia Cricket Club. They gave some inside info on it. Um you know they got a lot of great nuggets. Obviously you’re going to have Andy’s article. Uh, you know, I know you have my art this podcast which is which is free which is going to cover a lot of stuff a lot of similar stuff to but Andy’s going to go a lot more in depth with some of the stuff that’s uh only available to insiders. You got ballers after dark for your DFS. You know there’s a lot of really good stuff and for weeks like this when there is a new golf course you’re going to want to be an insider. So go sign up today. Um you know become an insider. You won’t regret it. Uh it’s a great community for a lot of sharp minds. a lot of great golf uh gamblers and golf mines in the Discord and obviously on the ISN staff. So uh definitely go sign up today. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I mean I was uh the other sports chat is where I’ve been the last couple weeks degenerately gambling on UFC fights on Saturday night. Um so that that’s even fun. Yeah, I saw people actually uh there’s one guy in particular who gives out the UFC bets and they’re pleading with him saying, “Please give us winners because they got cleaned out by Scotty. They got cleaned up by the Kentucky Derby.” Um although the the Wolf of Oaklan gave out a couple winners coming on the show with camera. Yeah, it was nice to bring him kind of in the fold uh this week. That was nice to see him. Yeah, he even he even made he made made fun of the way I said something. He was like Kappu would say this. I was like that. Exactly. Yeah. All right. All right. Let’s uh talk about the truest. So, here’s a nice little pretty picture. Uh this is the 15th hole, which is actually I think the fifth hole, I think, of the actual routing. We’ll get to the modified routing a little bit, but you said that you have listened to some things. Mhm. Um before this show, so I guess what are your initial thoughts and takeaways and like things you think about the Philadelphia Cricket Club based on the stuff you’ve already heard? Yeah. So basically that the Greens are very difficult and fast, but the course is too short for it to [ __ ] matter. It’s going to still be a wedge fest. Um, you already said I’d be disappointed, which you told me like a week ago, which was very mean of you. Um, yeah. I mean, I guess I mean I guess like the the the greens are super fast, but not really undulated and it’s pretty wide open. Do whatever the hell you want off the box. So, grip it and rip it and you’re going to have 125 in in and try not to three putt. Okay. All right. We’ll see for anybody maybe want to keep score at home for Kapper. Uh we’ll see how right he is in some of the stuff. I agree with most of the things some of the things he says about the Greens. Um it’s open to interpretation, but most I I would I would give that a I give that an A minus answer for the most part. Listen, the fact that I listen to anything before this show, it’s only because it’s a new course. That is true. So, this is the Philadelphia Qriket Club. Uh, let’s go to the specs here. We haven’t done this in a while because usually like Have you ever played cricket? What’s that? Have you ever played cricket? No, I’ve never played cricket. So, I had a I had a a neighbor uh who uh was of Indian descent and we played cricket with him multiple times uh on the tennis courts in my old neighborhood and it’s pretty fun. Mhm. Yeah. It’s just Indian baseball, right? Kind of. Sure. Not really. kind of fun. All right. Well, so shockingly, by the way, uh so this was first founded in the 1800s in a different part of Philadelphia and it was founded as a a what capper? What type of club? Cricket club. It was a cricket club. Very good. Yeah. Be uh interesting if I said it was like a checkers club or something. But no, this was a cricket club. And eventually though, golf became very popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. And so they started to look for a larger piece of property to build a couple golf courses. Finally found this plot of land in 1920. Brought in uh Aw Tillingast who finished the golf course in 1922. There are three other golf courses on the property. They were finished um in later decades after that. So AW Tilling obviously a very famous golf architect uh uh part of the very famous group of architects from Philadelphia. I think it was George Thomas of Rivier and LACC fame and William Flynn of Shinnik Hills flame uh fame, you know, and Philadelphia is just a great golf course community. A lot of great golf courses in the area. We’ll talk about a couple of them on the show. Philly being Grace, right? They’re they’re dumpster people. Oh, no. They they are dumpster people, but they know how to build golf courses, though. I will definitely give them credit for that. But yes, they are human trash and human waste. I will definitely uh concede that point. But yeah, sorry, Josh. Love you, buddy. Happy birth. Happy happy belated birthday, by the way. Uh, human traffic. I think he turned 14. Yes, he did. All right. So, some other tilling has we’ve seen Ridgewood Country Club, uh, host of the 2018 Northern Trust. Uh, that course might make another cameo later on in the show. uh the lower course of Baltas. Uh that was from the 2016 PGA, which I believe I said was the worst major uh of the last 15 years on Brian Kers. Just just a bad idea. Horrible idea to have a that major two weeks after the open. I understand why they wanted to jam it around the Olympics, but terrible idea. Uh Beth Paige Black, obviously one we know uh and love. uh and Wingfoot, the East and West Course. The West Course most famously uh for a couple US Opens that were done there. It was later restored in 2013 by Keith Foster. So over the years though, kind of like what you see at a lot of these parkland golf courses. It just loses a lot of its original characteristics over time. You know, like like at Oakill, like I love talking about that restoration. Way too many trees started to pop up there. How they mow the greens, you know, the greens kind of shrink over time. lose some of its uh undulations, the ability to put certain pins in certain areas because the greens just shrink over time. Well, in 2013, Keith Foster came in with another um telling historian, restore the golf course. One of the things they did as well, they cut down a bunch of trees. You’ll see that on the overhead a little bit, rebuilt all the greens, built a couple other bunkers that have been lost over time as well to the original specs. It was actually named in 2014 as the best renovation in golf that year. They did a fantastic job. You know, from a golf course perspective, I was very excited to break this down as far as breaking down the holes because it is a true classic. It is a gem. Uh definitely warranted of being one of the top 100 golf courses in the country. Uh definitely adds to the already great catalog of golf courses in the Philadelphia area. Very solid golf course. Very excited to show you some of the holes in a little bit. Um, this is gonna have a modified routing though and I’ll show you in a little bit exactly why it’s gonna be modified routing, but this is going to start on You knew my It’s like you knew my question was going to be why are they doing that? Yeah. So, it there’s actually a very easy answer once I show you the uh the overhead here. So, it starts on the members hole number eight and then it goes in order through hole number three. Then it’s going to jump to the par five um which is the for the members of seventh which going to be number 15. And then you’re going to have three pretty tough holes to end it. 1617s. He’s going to play on five, six, and uh four. Sorry, that’s a typo right there. He’s going to end with the fourth hole, but you got a 215 yard par three, a 478 yard par4, and a 523 yardish uh par4 as well. So, you’re going to end with a par five, and then three pretty difficult holes. So, at least the finish is going to be pretty challenging and difficult. You know, these are really great holes. First 14 though, you know, these guys might have a little bit of field. They’re gonna tear it apart. No way. We’ll we’ll see about that. So, yardage, this is a very short golf course, as you mentioned, 7,119 yards, par 70. Now, the fairway widths, GCSA has it at 32 yards as an average. I’ll show you some of the holes, though. I think that is a little probably short of what they actually are. Okay. I don’t know if they’re narrowing the fairways for this tournament. I would hope they did. Uh because these are very generous driving corridors that I’ll show you in a little bit. Um we’ll see if it’s actually that narrow. We’re going to have people on the golf course that maybe get can report if they’re really narrowed or Josh is going, right? When’s he what day is he going? Uh I don’t know, but I’m going to ask him to uh pull out the tape measure and actually measure the fairways for you. Get Josh arrested. I mean, he’s an eagle. He’s an Eagle fan. He’s probably been arrested already. No, no. That that that kid would not make it in jail. He’s He’s too sweet. He’s nice kid. Too sweet. Okay. Average green side. Average green side about 5,800 square feet. Uh it’s about PJ tour average. Now, the aronomy. So, we’re getting into bench grass season like full bench grass season. Not like the you know, we had bankrass greens last week, but you had the overseeing everything. No, this is bankrass TE’s, bankrass fairways, bankrass approach, approaches. Um, no collars, by the way, which I actually show. Basically, no fringe. It basically goes green to rough um on the greens. No fringe there. Top of the rough, though. So, it’s a tall fescue and it’s only three inches, but Oh, she’s good. There’s a couple caveats to that. Um, first, so remember the rough at Oakill? Ah, hell yeah, I do. Yeah. I was like, yeah, and they were It was really tough to get through. Very thick and clumpy. Um, you know, you had a lot of guys complain it was basically like a yard grass. So, this is that’s a good way to put it, actually. Yeah. So, this is similar rough to that. This is a little thicker, hardier strain of grass. Um, it’s a little bit of a thicker uh uh blade as well. Kind of clumps too. So, even though it’s only three inches, if you do draw a bad lie in this rough, like that’s going to make it kind of tough. It’s not like getting through with progress. Now, these guys are so strong. They have such fast club head speeds and the approach shots are going to be relatively short. It might not matter, but it’s not really a picnic, you know, just because you see the three in because of just how the composition of this grass might make it a little tough. Now, the thing is though, and we’ll get to the next slide, is um you know, one of the notes they also had in the GCSA report was these guys, these little Roomba mowers. Yeah, they they took you know you know this reference down here by the way. Do you ever watch South Park? They took your jobs. I do watch South Park. Yes, they did. Yeah. Well, in uh in COVID, by the way, because of all the restrictions, they had actually started using these robotic mowers to supplement and they actually found that not only were they very quiet and a little more quiet, my neighbors got some weird thing like this. Yeah. Well, they were very quiet. They’re very energy efficient. Also saved on labor costs and allowed some of the golf course people to actually work on things that mattered like, you know, fairways and greens and everything that they decided to just expand their fleet of mowers to 30 and basically took people’s jobs uh from doing That’s awesome. Uh ju just like just like a [ __ ] bank true banks. Exactly. But hey, listen, like there’s story. I actually found a good article about this where um you know, sometimes it might create a little bit of nuisance, but like because they’ll mow during pe the day and people will be in the rough and then actually we have to wait a minute for like these things just kind of like cruise by. But it means that these roughs always pretty uniform and pretty well-maintained too. Like this is a very well-maintained golf course. And this is part of the reason why is these mowers are just constantly going, you know, night, day, whenever uh to create really good playing conditions. And this is part of the reason why is uh this fleet even though it took some people. Do they do the greens too? No, these don’t do the greens. They they the fairways and greens are done by regular mowers. This is only the rough though. Now, a comment about the rough and I’ll go back to what I said about the 3 in of rough. So, I found another article that actually was pretty good about how they’re actually going to set it up this week. So, outside the ropes, they have stopped mowing completely, but you know, it’s outside the rope. It’s going to be a little trampled down, but they’ve stopped mowing inside the ropes. They’re going to stop mowing on Tuesday and they’re going to top it off at about 2 and a/4 in. So, it’ll start growing after that. Probably by the time the tournament starts, it probably about 3 in. But anyone who lives in the Northeast right now, first of all, we’re getting a lot of rain and it’s springtime. It’s cool. This is perfect. Like fescue, ryrass, blueg grass growing season. Like anyone with a yard up here, it’s just exploding. So, while it might start off the rough like being kind of short, if they’re going to stop mowing and with all the rain we’ve gotten and they might get a little bit of sunshine over the weekend, rough’s going to grow up pretty quick, uh, they think it might get up to 4 in by the time Sunday rolls around. So, it might start off where being in the rough might not be all that bad to start the start. What are you What are you gasping about right now? So the the the hockey game just got tied. Winnipeg tied it. They were down two goals. They pulled their goalie with three minutes left and they just tied it at 3-3. I couldn’t believe. Yeah. I’m I’m glad you’re just locked into me talking about I am I just robotic robotic mate. My ex my ex coach is coaching the Bruins and or my ex-coach of the Bruins is coaching the Blues and I want the Blues to win to rub it in my GM’s face. I’m not I’m just looking. I couldn’t believe they [ __ ] did it. Yeah, we’re you’re about to be my ex podcast co-host. We keep doing that. All right. Regardless though, this is going to be about 4 in by the time uh the Sunday rolls around. So, yeah, it might start off kind of low rough, but as the tournament goes on, because of how fast this grow this grass is going to grow this time of year, might get about 4 in, you know, probably what we normally would expect to like at a Parkland’s golf course, we would say. Have they have has any golf course ever given thought to like making the roped off area somewhere different so these guys don’t get like easy trampled lies when they they’re so far off course. Do you know what I mean? Like has anyone thought of that? Like hey let’s let’s make this experience a little worse but like these guys don’t get a break when they go [ __ ] 40 yards to the right. I mean, you know, I’m sure that uh the scientists that uh let CO out uh in 2020 had that same thought because that’s exactly what happened when there was CO, there was no fans in the golf course is that suddenly when you blasted it 30 yards left, oh, I’m in a horrible spot where it hasn’t been mowed. Oh [ __ ] Yeah. Great. That’s true. Yeah, there you go. All right. Well, let’s look at the routing here. So, this is the overhead of uh the Wissa uh Oh god, I’m going to butcher the name. I’m not even going to attempt but uh I’m not even going to do it. I All right. I had it in my head. I was rehearsing it and I just been riffing and rolling. I’m just not even going to do it. But um this is the golf course um at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. So the question of why they’re starting on hole number eight. Well, this is the driving range right here. The clubhouse is right here and number 12 here is the opening t uh is the opening hole. So that’s what would have to happen. What’s that? So 12 is going to be one. No, 12 is this is actually 12th hole. This is normally the first hole. Oh, you’ve changed it already. Gotcha. I I’ve changed it already. Yes, I did that for everybody here. So what normally would have to happen was you’d have the guys on the range as play is going on and they’d have to go all the way down this road back over to 12 or number one. Okay. Okay. Okay. That’s why they’re not doing that. So instead, they’re starting off at hole number eight for the members, which is a short par4, 368 yards, and just going from there. Basically, they’re going to end back at the driving range on 18 here, which is number four for the members. Clubhouse. Clubhouse right here. I lost it. Yeah. So, that that’s the real reason why they’re starting on it’s not some like special historical meaning or like it’s really just because of logistics. That’s why they’re starting hole number eight. So, okay. So, one of the things I think this is mostly going to focus on like the T- shots, which is kind of what you talk about. A lot of room off the tea. And I would agree with that. Um, and I’m going to show you just a couple examples here of just some of the overhead. So, this is number four, short par4, 440 yards. You know, there is a bunker over in the length. It’s 305 to carry. So, you know, it’s not just completely out of play, but and I kind of pinched the fairways here, but once you know, before it, it’s about 35 yards. If you can clear the bunker, it’s about 35 yard. Like, that’s a lot of room, you know, 35 yards. And there’s no trees at all. They cut down a lot of the trees. So, it’s all right out in front of you, too. You don’t have to worry about shaping the ball or having to worry about a dog leg or anything. Boring [ __ ] Well, I mean, this this does play slightly uphill. It’s a semi blind shot. So yeah, you can see does it does it go downhill front? No, it actually goes slightly uphill here. Here’s the thing though, like and we’ll get to in a little bit. The primary star of the show are the greens and the surrounds. And it just it looks very boring from overhead. But I will say though, like you know, other than you know, some of these bunkers can be a little bit intimidating, a little bit of an eyesore, but for the most part off the tea, it’s pretty straightforward. There’s a lot of room as you’re going to see here. You know, everything’s right out in front of you. Um, you know, with tilling hats as well, and we’ll talk about some of the greens, you know, it’s kind of it’s it’s not necessarily like just being in the short grass. angles do kind of matter at least what he’s intended to do, you know, based on like where pins are. So like if you are even in the fairway on the wrong side of the hole, you might have a horrible angle to the pin, you might not be able to go at it. Um, you know, there is that concept here. Now, for these pros who basically can hit wedges to within a 5ft hula hoop and you know, routinely over and over, it might not matter, but that’s what they’re trying to do here. Um, but for the most part for these guys, it’s very all right in front. It’s very basic in some of these T- shots. Uh, this is number six. Now, this is a little more difficult for somebody like you and me. It is a dog leg right. There is this bunker that kind of really pinches in the fairway here. But for the pros, I’ I’d be about 20 yards short of that bunker or next to that tree on the right. Well, you also would be teen off about here and that bunker would be in the way. But it’s only 290 to clear the bunker. So, for most guys in the field, you can clear that bunker and it opens up about 45 yards of width. Jeez. So, um can I can I just stop and ask you something real quick? So, those those lines right like right in front of the green that look almost like steps, is that an elevation change? No, it’s just different. It’s just different mowing patterns. Okay. Yep. So, and actually one thing I want to mention, so like you know, tilling has green. So, we mentioned um Wingfoot as one of the places he’s he’s built. And one of the things about Wingfoot, remember how Bryson won it and said said, “Well, a lot of the greens are very wide open in front. I can bounce the ball to it.” This is an example of one of those types of greens where it’s very wide open in front where if you are in the rough, theoretically, you could bounce the ball to the green. Now, it’s going to be very soft. You’re not going to be able to do it, but you can see that this is very like wingfoot style green. It’s very open mouth, bunkers on both sides. Uh we’ll get to the actual like sloping of the green how and like some of the green side surrounds how those look as far as like the opening the mouse of the green like very like wing foot here. This one um we already talked about this whole this is seven. This is also like we also talk about Beth Page black how sometimes the fairway runs out and these greens are kind of sitting on islands. You got to actually fly it. This is an art. This is very similar to like Beth Page where you’re surrounded by a bunch of bunkers and rough where you actually have you can’t just bounce the ball to it. If you’re in the rough, it’s pretty hard to get. It’s much more of an arrow game. This is an example of that right here. Uh, you know, there’s a couple holes where the green is kind of just on an island separated by, you know, some bunkers and rough that you got to fly to it. But again, you can see here everything’s really right out in front of you. You got some um you know two fairway bunkers you got to navigate around, but they’re mostly you can carry them all. They’re only about 290 to carry and it opens out to about a 45 yard wide fairway. So very basic T-shots. Um, you know, I I don’t think it’s going to be necessarily bomb and gouge or anything like I I you know, but I think there’s going to be a lot of short iron from short grass to very easily fairways. Are those bunkers in front of the green? Those aren’t even in [ __ ] play. No, they’re sporting it. You know what I mean? Well, if you’re out of position in the rough, those are definitely in play. Or if they’re winds up, definitely in play. So, and I’ll actually I’ll show you this. And this is actually very visually intimidating. Oh, I’m sure it is. Yeah. So, but that’s but that this is examples of it’s pretty wide open. Now, if they narrowed this like the GCSA maybe is saying, yeah, this could be a little more difficult, but just on its face here, a lot of room to navigate off the tea, you know, especially if you can carry a lot of these bunkers here too and you have a lot of short irons in. So, even if you are in the rough here, because it’s a lot of short approach shots, you can get out of it. You know, pot the ball up, too. It’s not like if you’re having a lot of long approaches and you’re in this rough, it’s it’s it’s pretty wide open for the most part. Um, here’s the eighth hole here. This is another hole I want to spotlight. So, this is a Now, when you’re saying this is the eighth hole, this is the eighth hole for the tournament. This eighth hole for the tournament. This is probably I just want to make sure. No, no, that’s fine. I just want to make sure we’re I’m tracking. Yeah, I think this is like hole number 15 or so for like the members. Um, damn. This is What’s that big ass houses? I think these are actually town houses. I don’t think these are actual like real houses. I think like you know Yeah, like you see like Never mind. I won’t go into it. Yeah, it’s fine. It’s so long par three 244 yards. Um, you know, obviously we’ll talk about a couple um you know, Tony Hass has had a lot of signatures. um you know, golf courses, you know, in his repertoire. Um obviously he’s used a lot of templates on a lot of his uh designs. This is a redan uh green here. And so I’m going to quiz you Boston Capper. What is a red green? It’s the It’s where it’s like that and comes down. Dude, you’ve been doing a show with me for five years. How do you not know this by now? I don’t know, man. What is it? All right. So, it’s a par three that is sloped from front to back, usually right to left. So, we’ve seen a couple of these before. You You’re just like, “Oh, it’s like a dome.” You’re just No, you did something with your hands there. I’m like, “What the hell is that?” I did with my hands what you said. Oh, okay. Well, you didn’t explain it properly. So, that’s the shock. Well, anyways, this is a Redan hole here. Obviously, we’ve seen the redan at like number four at Riviera. seen a redan style uh template at Wii on number 17. So, seems like it’s very long, but with a Roan, you know, you got a pretty wide opening here. If it’s firm, you can bounce the ball up the green and let the slope kind of carry it, especially if it’s like a back pin location. The fact that had a lot of rain and might be pretty soft conditions, you’re not be able to do that. So, you basically got to fly it pretty much 244. That’s going to be pretty tough to get it to hold. Yeah. To fly it and hold. That’s tough. Exactly. And this looks like this looks like one of these areas where we’re going to be waiting on that person to finish out his putt, that person to drive. I see all these [ __ ] red lines and I can already see backups happening. Yeah, you got the T- box right in front of the right on top of the eighth T- box here. You got the seventh green as well. Seventh green. Yeah, like it’s definitely this is going to be a bunch of standing around and waiting and Yeah, Patrick Hley is going to love it. This this part of the golf course here. So, but this is going to be pretty tough. It’s also a pretty awkward angle, too. You got to hit a pretty right to left. Sharp. It’s a sharp angle. Yeah, you got to hit it. I mean, they might maybe they might use like different T boxes because it’s going to play so soft, you can’t bounce up. Like maybe they use the forward T for a couple of these, but from the tips, it’s 244 and you got to hit a nice draw and they’re not going to have the benefit of be able to bounce the ball and use the the slope of the green to get, you know, onto it. So, yeah. So, we’ll see if they actually play it that way. Now talk about the closing stretch of this tournament. This is the hardest. This is the hard stretch. It’s well 14 and 15 is not going to be necessarily hard. You still have two birdie holes, but these are this is a very it’s going to be a very interesting stretch here. So number 14, this plays as number three as the members. It’s a short par three, 122 yards. Um obviously I think short par threes that get a lot of hype triggers you. We thought think about LACC. Uh that one that you called complete [ __ ] I think it was [ __ ] Yeah. at number 15. I was right. Yeah. Um and then you but you also have short par 3s like the postage stamp which you loved because the best that was that was the best. Yeah. So this one that might be my top five favorite hole. It’s definitely in my top five like favorite holes in golf. Yeah. Like when Shane Lowry was in the coffin monkey, he had to uh he had to go out back behind the green to try and get up and down. Oh yeah. The poacher stamp is great. I love royal trim as I said on on BK show um couple weeks ago. So this is going to fall probably more on the spectrum of 15 LACC because look at the end of the day this might be a five it’s basically going to be if there unless there’s no wind these guys are hitting a 54 degree wedge into a 5,000 foot green which has some undulations when you start seeing here you can see it a little bit. Yeah, you can see it like it’s not severely sloped, but there definitely is some defenses here to where some people have said um you know, it’s hard to get approach shots within 8 to 10 feet here. I mean, these guys are professionals at the end of the day, they can pretty much do whatever they want. But you can see though, they can definitely play with some pin positions here to where like if they put it against like this ridge here. That’s this is legitimately the place that I was looking. I was like that is the only spot that look maybe to that front left to put that bunker in play too. Yeah, it seems like they got a ridge running through the the middle of the green here. Seems like everything kind of slopes maybe towards the back here. Um, you know, some a little bit of a undulation towards the uh front. It looks like an Amish town. These houses look Amish. Is this like an Amish community? Well, it’s Pennsylvania, dude. Yeah, it’s Amisher everywhere. I The first time I saw an Amish person, I was on the Jersey Turnpike uh at Roy Rogers, if anybody remembers those. And my wife who grew up outside of Pittsburgh uh was familiar with the Amish. I who grew up in a city was not. And apparently my mouth was a gape and I was just staring at them and being like you do you see them just like the the people from the the witness movie with Harrison Ford. Yeah. Uh Amish people have been a part of my life uh ever since I was a baby. Uh because there’s a a lot of Are they in New York too? Oh yeah. There they have a whole community in the Fingerlakes and we have a place in the Fingerlakes and there’s an Amish farm right up the hill from us that we always go and get produce from. So, and we see say they’re supposed to have like they’re supposed to be a great farmhouse. Oh, yeah. They’re excellent farmers and they’re they build really good sheds, too, as well. Excellent. Yeah. That witness that witness reference no one’s going to get, but it was a Harrison Ford movie from the middle to late 80s with with Danny Glover. Danny Glover. That’s right. Yes, that’s a great movie. Um, yeah, but yes, this is Amish country. They were in Pennsylvania, also in New York. But yes, this looks very Amish here. But this a short par three. you can start seeing where and I’ll get to a couple other examples a little bit how the greens and the surrounds are definitely uh the defenses. So, if you go along here, you got some pretty gnarly rough here and everything set well below the putting surface. Kind of sets it’s a little bit like tabletop uh uh greens. They’re all raised a little bit. You got these uh bunkers well as well. They’re flat bottoms, but they got pretty steep grass faces. You got to get up pretty quick. Uh there’s a couple other bunkers set well below the ping surface here. If I can give you kind of a comp. Remember at Oakhill number five? Mhm. Right by the entrance. Kind of similar to that. Yeah, it’s very similar. All right. So that’s So it’s not it’s not it’s not 15 LACC if you’re comparing it to five at Well, that Well, that’s 170 yards. This is 120 yards. I guess that’s fair. Yeah. So that that’s the thing is this is like a 54 degree wedge for these guys. And and these greens might play really soft. So, manage your expectations. This is definitely gonna get a lot of hype this week, this hole, because they love just pumping short par threes. Um, why? I don’t understand why. I mean, this you don’t see a whole lot of short par 3es on the PG tour. Pebble. Yeah, Pebble. How many other like par threes under 130 yards you usually see? You don’t see a lot. It’s mostly at these classics. Yeah. Yeah, that’s true. That’s true. So, all right. 15. This is a reachable par five 553. It’s a lot of It’s a lot of bunkers. Well, so that’s the thing. This also is a signature of Tilling of the Great Hazard. It’s seen at a couple of his par fives. Uh seen at Baltas, seen at Beth Paige Black. So basically what he wanted to do was instead of create a water hazard, he wanted to create like a hazard area that mimics a water hazard. Basically bisects the par five here to punish somebody if you actually hit a it wouldn’t be a poor drive. who would just be being too aggressive and pushing too far down the fairway or if you’re stuck in the rough here, your second shot gets gobbled up by the uh the hazard. This is the great hazard here. Is that fescue all around those too? That is all fes. Yeah. So fesky rough and then like tall fescue out here. So that Yeah. So like if you really get it let it grow wild, this is what it basically turns into. This is going to be your three to four inches uh by the end of the tournament here. Wait, is it the fescue is only going to be three to four inches? I told you that’s the rough. Yeah, but I thought so. I was thinking the fescue was the next set of like outside. No, no, this is fescue and then if you let it grow, it be turns into this. I like seeing the really tall stuff. Groing. Okay. Yeah. I like to see the really tall stuff. I like to see the guys hack it out of there and watch like basically a hay bale come out behind their iron shot and you have no idea where the [ __ ] it’s going. Well, I’m sorry that this isn’t like Aaron Hills where it’s like 70 yard wide fairways and they actually have this stuff right the fairways. No, that’s just not what this is. And obviously people had to play this bar and capper. So, uh, the run out of this fairway is about 3:15 here. Um, so driver might be a little too much. Yeah. Rory’s going 3-wood off of here. Yeah. Well, if you bring 3-wood into play, you bring these bunkers into play. Oh, so like this is this isn’t the easiest drive and hole. Like it looks easy, but you know, I mean, for some guys, maybe some of the shorter hitters, maybe drivers actually okay and they take it out of play. Yeah. But for a longer hitter, you might have to club down and you know, you bring these bunkers to play there. Imagine clubbing down and still ending up in a [ __ ] bunker. Nothing would trigger me war. You see that a lot on PJ tour. I know. So funny. Um, we’ll bookmark. This is a very these are some very difficult green side surrounds. Uh, way in the distance here on Yeah, that is that elevated green. Yeah, again that’s our elevated green. We’ll talk about that in a little bit as far as like more defenses here, but this is the 15th hole. It’s reachable. Um, not the easiest approach shot and there are some things with the T- shot that can give people trouble, especially if they lay back a little bit. Um, and now we’re going to get to some pretty difficult closing holes. This is the 16th lawn par three, 215 yards. This actually is a pretty severely slope green here. You can see some of the undulations just from the overhead here. This actually right in front of the right in front of the pin there. That’s going to run if if put any spit on that. It’s run all the way to the front of the green right there. Yeah, it actually kind of reminds me of um remember back at Wingfoot also telling has greens where people would actually start using like these um ridges here to like bring the ball back kind of like backboards. You see a little bit here like you see that like somebody could theoretically use this to bring the ball back or like even if like if it’s like a um a right pin location maybe use this little shoulder here to bring it back as well as a little bit of a backboard. But you see a lot of that type of stuff on these greens. This is actually one of the more severely sloped greens on at the Cricut Club. It’s modeled after the eighth at St. Andrews. Uh it’s like an Eden template where it’s very severely sloped from back to front. Here you have bunkers short left and right. There’s actually three bunkers uh long as well on the back. So yeah, if you go really long, that’s bad news bears because everything’s going to run well to the front of the green there and they’re running pretty fast. Like that’s going to be a true defense. So, but this is a big boy shot down the stretch. 215 yard par three. Who doesn’t love that? Uh, on the closing stretch. And then you have two long par fours coming in. This is 498 yards. 17th here. This from the T- box. Is that the T- box? Is that what we’re looking at? The box. Yeah, this is from the back T box. This looks more intimidating than what it actually is. Terrifying. So, this bunker right here is about 30 yards closer than this bunker. It’s a visual uh um it’s an illusion. There’s actually a lot of room if you clear this bunker over here on the right, but it looks like it pinches in pretty severely. It’s it it doesn’t. Yeah. But so to clear this uh the left bunker is about 309. So it is a bit of a big poke. It’s also a poor angle to the green if you’re on the left side. If you’re on the right side though, it’s pretty easy. Um yeah, but if you miss right, you’re [ __ ] screwed in that. Well, that’s the thing. Yeah, you you have a lot of pretty heavy fescue over on the right here. So there is some risk to try and take it over this bunker. Even though this is very easily clearable for most guys. So, but a long par4 to start at or on 17 and then another long par4 on 18. This is a poorly uh quality picture, but you can get the gist with another long par4. Um very difficult bunk ring. Uh again here, another raised green. You have a couple bunkers that are about 50 yards short that let’s say you draw a really terrible line, hit a really poor drive, you end up in here. That’s a long bunker shot to the green. Yeah, this is a good closing hole. You might see some sw. Yeah, I like it. So, that’s the Cricut club as far as like the actual holes. Like I try I mostly showed you um like t-shots and like tea green stuff as far as like what you’re looking for. That kind of fits what you said. Like as far as T-shots goes, there is a lot of room. Uh I don’t think this is going to be one where you just bomb it anywhere. It doesn’t matter. But it there’s a lot of room to operate and they’re very easil easy to hit fairways, you know, for somebody just like like if you’re a Morocawa like sometimes you go to places where even for him it’s just hard to hit like if he hit a straight shot might not stay in the fairway. This way you hit a pretty straight shot going stay in the fairway and it’s all right in front of you. So you get a guy who hits a pretty good good T- shots long and straight. Yeah, it’s fine. That can work out pretty well for you. So, look at the proximity buckets, though. And I broke it down for every under 150. My god. Yeah. So, um, yeah. So, I went through every single one and there’s a high volume of shots under 150. Now, obviously, from 150, 175, there’s not going to be zero. No, it’s not going to actually be zero. Obviously, there’s going to be some some shots from 125 to come here. Obviously, some shots maybe are going to come here like squeeze in a little bit. But this just I just took like Okay, expected text on Thursday. My guy has a shot from 161. Okay, you were wrong. Fine. You can actually go to me in Discord. But this is why I I basically like, all right, what’s like a 300 305 yard drive? Okay, that’s basically like average for these guys. Like where would that basically be? And I just put that in the bucket just from a high level. Don’t focus exactly where the buckets are. Just focus just in ranges. A lot of shots from under 150. Like more than 50%. And it’s because Yeah. It’s cuz eight of the 12 par4s are under 150 yards or under under 450 yards. I was like, “That’s a hell of a problem four. I want to play that course.” Well, it’s actually it’s one yard wide fairways with uh your tall fescue on both sides. That’s 150 yards. Yeah. Well, then I’m [ __ ] I’m [ __ ] There you go. Um no, it’s eight of 12 par4s play 450 yards or less. Uh another one plays um 460 yards. I’m sorry. Seven of 12 play under 450, one plays 460. So eight of 12 are basically 460 or less. That’s why you get a lot a high volume from shots under 150. You also throw in the par three 14th that plays 122. That’s why you have a lot of wedges here and it’s going to be a lot of wedges from probably fairways if they’re playing soft too. So, I caution. That’s why I’m saying like you might get disappointed because I think this is a great golf course that unfortunately if you get these guys playing soft conditions with a high volume of short irons into soft greens, even if they are have some trickiness and some undulation to it character. Yeah. Like these guys are professionals. They’re on a different level. So, so talk so talk to are we going you’re gonna get to the greens eventually? Yes. The next slide. Okay. Okay. Good. Because I have questions. Yeah. I’ll show you some examples. But high volume of shots from un under 15 under 150. Pretty much a dead zone. It’s not going to be 0% from 150 to 75, but you get the gist of it. Pretty much a dead zone from 150. You said zero. You said hold me to it. And then you’re going to have your two par fives. They’re 225 plus. You’re going to have a couple par 3es. They’re between the 200 and 225. And then maybe that part if they play that the 18th at like 520 that could potentially be a shot over 200 yards too. So throw that in there as well. So long approach shots, short approach shots, but most of the long approach shots are on the par fives, a couple of the par threes where everybody’s got a clean lie. Um lot of just wedges essentially. That’s that’s what the take away from the the proximity buckets. Now let’s talk about the primary defense though. Remember that number seven? The one with a bunch of buttons are out of play. That’s a monster house. Look at that [ __ ] thing. Yeah. All right. That that one actually. No, that that looks like looks like a townhouse. That could be a hotel, maybe. No, it’s not a hotel. It definitely looks like a townhouse, though. These look like different or condos or something. Yeah, maybe. So, anyways, this is the seven. This is the one that had all the bunkers in front. I mean, very visually intimidating. You can see if you miss if you do miss a green here like getting up and down from these bunkers is very difficult and you can actually see like here you can see some of the runs away. Yeah. So like you so this is on a little shelf back left here. Um you know everything feeds like if you do miss a little bit it’s going to feed down to the lower level here. Um you know you see some ridges left as well. Absolutely. Yeah. like uh everything seems like it wants to feed um from like back right here down to the middle of the green. Like there you can see the undulation. It’s again not severe. It’s a little more subtle, but you can see how it could be difficult to get to certain pin locations, especially like this one here where if you do hit the wrong side of a slope, it is going to run away a little bit. Yep. So it’s not like a turkey shoot at the Byron Nelson where it’s mostly flat. Um, this would be a defense for a lot of short barrel. It’s not even a turkey shoot. It’s fish barrel, literally. With that said, though, there’s gonna be a lot of short irons from a professional golfer who can basically put it on my cell phone if I asked him to. That’s very fair, actually. I like that. You’ve had a couple good ones tonight. I I’m excited. I’m excited. So, I’m excited. I haven’t talked golf in weeks. I’ve been golf sad since JT won. I’m having a good time tonight. Thanks for bringing making me happy again, Steve. I appreciate There you go. Okay, this is the 15. This is the par five. This is the one where we’re actually going to get a closer look at the greens to this approach. This is not an easy approach shot. This is a smaller green here. You can see some of the undulation as well. Like everything seems to want to feed towards a false front um lower right here as well. Um you know, a pretty bunker. This is a big bunker up in front. There’s another bunker to uh left of the green as well. These are these bunkers over on the right are set well below the pin surface. Again, if you’re like, you know, especially if it gets to the lip here, you got to get the ball up and then you got to navigate some of these slopes in order to get to certain pin positions. Um, if they tuck this pin left, like that’s a really difficult, um, you know, pin to get to, you’re probably going to see a lot of guys just try and get to the middle of the green and try and two putt there. Yeah, I mean, this is the primary defense. This is I agree with what they say is while the T- shots are pretty easy for the most part and you’re going to have a lot of short irons in these greens which are going to play soft, you do miss a green, it’s going to be difficult and I can buy into how people can think it’s not it’s not just going to be like target golf a little bit. It’s going to be it can be a little difficult to get to certain of these pins. I agree. Now, they they could they could make it very easy pin locations, but but even with easy pin locations, if they’re running, what are they going to run on the stint meter? That’s the thing. I mean, like, if they are soft, it is harder to get it moving a little faster, but they probably want these things to run fast. So, how do you So, I guess that I guess that’s my question. So, if it’s going to be soft because of the conditions, how do they make them fast? How do they make the greens fast? Well, they make them fast by mowing them tighter. Super tighter. Yeah. Basically reduce the friction of And how one of the ways to do it is either dry them out so there’s less friction on the ball or make the grass super super short. Yeah. Yeah. Because you can get sass greens that are soft. Theoretically, you just got to cut them really really tight. But most firm greens because there’s less resistance on the ball uh because of the moisture, that’s how you speed them up pretty quick. They’re not I don’t think they’re going to be able to get that though. So they would have to cut these things pretty tight. All right. Okay. All right. I think this is the next slide after this. So, back on Wednesday, I’ve been planning this podcast since Wednesday, and I actually texted Andy just initial thoughts about the golf course on Wednesday. And as I charted this out, I was like, I am very much reminded of two golf courses in particular. I felt like I was back in 2018. I felt like I was back new to uh Yep. Steve Shurmer. Uh, not to state back then. I was like, who’s this [ __ ] golf nerd? Exactly. Breaking down golf courses, using architecture to handicap. Who’s this [ __ ] guy? Who’s this [ __ ] [ __ ] But I felt very similar to two golf courses I charted back then. One of them is another Philadelphia golf course. Very Why is that weird? It’s just weird that it happens to be in Philadelphia, too. Like that’s, you know, I mean, a lot of these golf courses are very similar style, you know, very, you know, Parkland’s. This is a Donald Ross golf course, but that’s back from the golden age of architects. Um, Donald Ross in Jacksonville that I’ve never played cuz it’s like up actually like up in like the west side or something like that. Yes, it’s Timuana. Oh, look at you. Yeah, it’s a great golf course, by the way. What an [ __ ] What an [ __ ] Yes. No, that is the Donald Ross in your area. So, I should go play it. I think it’s private, so I don’t think you can. No, I I know I can get on. I know people who play it. Okay. All right. By the way, uh to answer your question, uh those are town houses. I was right. Average value about 1.5 million. Thanks, Der McGrant, my man from [ __ ] forever. D’s been with us. All right. So, so why this reminded me reminded me of Philadelphia Cricket Club. Obviously, aronomy. They’re both bent grass. Both have a lot of room off the tea, too. Both are very like similar like tea to green as well. Everything’s kind of really right in front of you. Obviously, these are Ross screens and Ross bunkering, so you get a little less of like the tilling has quality of it, but as far as just like space off the tea to navigate similar yardages, that one definitely reminded me of it as well. Obviously, the Philadelphia ties, too. It’s very easy. So, this is how that tournament played out. Your boy Keegan and Bradley won 20. I already like I already like [ __ ] Keegan this week. It’s a problem. All right. So he beat Justin Rose uh 20 under. And Billy, by the way. Yeah. So I want to say this, by the way. So this is back in 2018. This was the year that they had already announced that the Tour Championship was going to change to the the staggered start um before this happened. And if they had already announced it, it was going to happen anyways because Justin Rose did not win a single playoff event yet won the tour championship anyways. So that would have killed anyways. Um, but that was actually the year Tiger won the tour champion or uh he won the Tour Championship, but uh Rose won the FedEx Cup. So sorry I I confused that. Rose won the FedEx Cup, but didn’t win a single playoff event. Was that is that the year Rose switched to those um ridiculously expensive golf clubs? No, that was a year after. Year after. So I remember we were at we were at Sawrass. It was me and my buddy Pete and he just laid them down like in front of us and me and Pete were like looking at him like they don’t look super special. Why are they so [ __ ] expensive? Well, they’re not super special. That’s why he switched back to I think I know. No, I know. I know. But at the time I was like how much for those [ __ ] irons? What the? Now, it’s important to keep in mind for this tournament, this was extremely soft. They had a Monday finish. Like, these guys tore this place up. So, 20 under one. So, as far as like how it actually happened, yeah, I mean, it was a good leader. Xander, Rory, Tiger, other other than Ricky. Great leader board or Webb Simpson. Although Webb was pretty good. I give Web respect, man. I I respect Webb, man. That dude that dude I do. I respect Web. We Webb won the uh the the players that year. You also have Malinari the year of Franchesco by the way. Won the Open. 5-0 at the RDER Cup. Team up in Mollywood. Yeah. Pink Panther baby. Yeah. There you go. Anyways though, so how this leaderboard kind of shook out. Well, it was really difficult to separate yourself off the tea that week, which I don’t think is a surprise considering pretty wide corridors and just not a whole lot of adversity off the tea unless you hit it in like a bunker. So, it’s just harder to separate yourself from everybody else because it’s pretty easy to hit fairways. Obviously, it’s really soft that week, too. Distance had a higher correlation towards your off the tea than accuracy did. Accuracy really didn’t matter. Here’s the thing though, like the top 10 though, there was a lot of guys who fare very well in accuracy and fairways hit for the week. What I actually noticed with this leaderboard was there was a cluster of guys in the top 10 that hit a lot of fairways and then way down the board there was another cluster and the difference was they didn’t hit any putts and these guys did. That’s basically why this happened. But overall with the field hitting fairways didn’t really contribute to you’re off the tea that much. It was more distance which I think is also misleading because you have Rory and Fenale as like way ahead of everybody but there were some short knockers like Keegan wasn’t hit all that far. Horscha wasn’t hit all that far. Rose doesn’t farm. Yeah, it’s definitely more. It’s definitely more random and I think that that can translate this week to where because there’s a high volume of short irons, it’s going to be pretty generous fairways. I don’t think distance is like it’s not going to be a case of like if a guy if a shorter hitter is in the rough just being unable to get to the greens or or it’s very difficult to hit fairways so you just hit as far as you can. I don’t think that’s the case. I think you kind of see more of something like this where I think distance is very mitigated this week. um even if it contribute technically towards more of your strokes gain approach was below average. I think that was just because it was the proximity buckets are similar to what you’re going to see at the Philadelphia Crit Club. There’s a lot of short irons at Aronomic that week, but the greens are also really soft, too. So soft green, you know, shorter irons harder to separate yourself in that category. Maybe maybe because the greens if the undulations to it and they do use good pin locations, it’s more difficult to get to them. Maybe that could be a good way to separate yourself and you see a little more separation with the better ball strikers and the with the irons and not. But at least for this tournament was not a good way to separate yourself. How you did separate yourself was around the green difficult green side surrounds pretty similar to what we’re going to see I think at uh the Philadelphia cricket club and putting I mean if it’s a high green reg with all I was about to say so like with with everybody having like a wedge or a 54 in hand like is around the rain really going to [ __ ] matter? Well, so that’s the thing is for the times that you do miss it and this is just with the field, right? Costing yourself strokes and it’s difficult conditions. So that would be a way even if um you don’t do it as often. Okay, that’s what that’s all this really measures. That makes sense. Yeah. Okay. So, but you kind of see like you know you got some bombers here, Rory and Fenale. Like you know Xander wasn’t hitting as far back then, but you know He just wasn’t as short though. Yeah. But you have Malinari, Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Horchel, like or Rose was hit far back then. You know, Keegan wasn’t hitting as far back then. So little more diverse like leaderboard as far as like power versus not. Absolutely. Um and it definitely turned into a little bit of a putting I think because of softer conditions uh that week. There was another golf course that reminded me of uh and happened to also be in 2018 that week. Okay. Ridgewood Country Club, which was the site of the 2018 Northern Trust. Oh, okay. That was one by one by Bryson. Bryson. Yeah. Okay. Bryson Bryson went back to back that year. He won at TBC Boston and then actually he won here actually. So, this is another Tilling. He won in Norton. Yeah. TC Boston. Yeah. Yeah. It was it was actually it was s it was a surprise uh that week. I think he was like 70 to1. Like he was playing good that year, but I think he was it kind of Well, you know what? No, because he won Memorial that year, too. So, it it wasn’t much that a surprise, man. They I forgot they even played [ __ ] uh Boston in 2018. Yeah. But I think this was the year I think Bryson went on to win Summerland that year as well. He played really good in 18 in 2018. Yeah. Yeah. So, he’s on the Ryder Cup that year. He’s so young, too. How old is he then? What? 22. He was probably like 26 and then he got big and beefy that year too. So stupid. Yeah. Um anyways, so this is another telling. This one is narrower than um the cricket club. It’s also more treelined as well. So you don’t have as great of comps I feel like tea green, but that you do have the tilling greens. You do have the bunkering. So I think from that respect you have the short par three that you see right here as well. Kind of similar to what um 14 is going to play like. So you have some crossover that obviously similar although this is more bent poa but as far as like a northern strain of grass like parkland you have the tingling has connection that’s similar in my mind you know similar layouts as well you know. So this is how that leaderboard played out. Jeff Bry winning 18. Tony again. Tony Fen now again. 14 under. Billy. Yeah, Billy again. 13 under. Uh, yeah. Aaron Wise, by the way, you see that he’s coming back by the way. Is he? Yeah. Someone posted in the Discord that he’s coming back. Was he on medical or something? They got He probably would have a medical, I think, uh, and some starts. So, yeah. I I remember I liked watch until I saw he used the Cheetah Butter and I was out. Remember? That was him, right? Yes, that that was him. A lot of guys use cheater putters, though. So, Yep. And they’re all cheaters. So, some similarities. Again, this was not a golf course again that where you could separate yourself off and Bryson. Yeah. Seriously. Wow. What a Yeah. Yeah. But again, this was one where distance definitely outweighed accuracy that week. And you see it like the guys who are a little longer had a little better chance. think that’s more to do with Ryan Palmer was hitting at 294 in 2018 and that was just here. Ryan Palmer was a big hitter back then. I forgot about that. Yeah, he he got it out pretty good. So, um so distance that week was more impactful. And you can kind of see with this leaderboard, you got Brooks and JT and Canley and Adam Scott, like a lot more longer hitters. Even Cam Smith was hitting it, you know, pretty far that week. I think that was more to do with it was narrower. Um, so I think it was a little harder to hit fairways that week. The rough might have been a little up, smaller greens. So probably distance probably definitely impatche a little more than it would here. That’s why I don’t really like the team to green comp as much. Okay. Um, guys are hitting a little less fairways as well. That definitely didn’t play into it. This was way more of an approach contest it was in Iran. Look at look at the putting difference too. The like there was guys who was losing strokes, more guys losing strokes putting. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, overall it was still very impactful, like significantly more impactful towards your total source gain. And I think it’s because Bryson and Cam Smith and Adam Scott just crushed it, but you also do have some guys losing. It was a little more variable. I think there was some more guys from like the 10 to 20 range also well that kind of boost this. This is this is what this is what sucks about the historical stuff. It’s like we like these guys could have been dog [ __ ] right? on Thursday, Friday, made it on the cutline, had a decent Saturday and then boat raced on Sunday and excuse these stats so much that because we forget like we forget all these tournaments, we forget how it’s done. So, we just look at the leaderboard and we look at the stats and it’s like, well, how was it done, right? There’s no context. There’s no color to this, which drives me insane. Yeah. And it also doesn’t help too that the final round I remember I was sitting in a uh shout out Tully’s restaurant in uh Rochester, New York doing a fantasy football drive. I was hammered uh during this final round. So I don’t really remember a whole lot. Hammer Steve. Hammer Steve. Hammer Steve is the best Steve. Hammer Steve is good. You don’t get it a whole lot anymore. You do you get do get it sometimes. And a hammered fantasy football Steve in a year where I was completely tanky and didn’t actually give a crap about the draft. I was just being a troll during the entire uh auction there. Yeah. So but that happened I I remember league. Yeah. Now in our league. Yeah. You didn’t respond my text by the way. You are set up very nicely. Don’t you don’t you put that out in the [ __ ] atmosphere. You know how I am about that. Don’t jinx me. Don’t do that. That’s why. Sorry, man. I I just call it how I see it. So, all right. Anyways, that’s that’s the only reason why I remember this term is because I was going to tell I’m like, Bryson won again. Holy crap. I must be hammered. So, anyways, that’s how this tournament played out. So, yeah, those are two uh courses that this remind that the crit club reminded me of. I definitely am more aligned with how aiming played out. I think as far as types of guys in that top 10. Makes sense. You know, how it kind of played out where it seemed like if you did miss a green, it was going to be pretty difficult, especially with the bunkers as well. And how I I do think because of the high volume of short approach shots into softer greens. You know, it it putting obviously putting separates yourself the most or one of the most in any tournament. It probably will take on a little more importance here. still like you know with the bankrass but it’s really what I’m looking for this week. Um I think it’s going to be I think off the tea kind of like a both a Ridgewood and Ron Mike I think it’s going to be harder to separate yourself off the tea because either they’re very easy hit because it’s so short like everybody even the short guys aren’t going to be short. They’re going to be hitting 125 versus [ __ ] 75. Exactly. And even if you’re in the rough with how soft the greens might be, it’s easier to hold the green. shout out this podcast. So, it’s not a situation where if you’re in the rough, you can’t hold the green. If it if you have a short iron in that rough, even if it does get a little thick, you know, it it’s it’s not as bad. And it doesn’t price out certain guys, too. Like, it’s not going to price out a Russell Henley if he is in the rough there. He’s he’s still going to hold wedge. You still get into it, you know, and get on the green there. So, I think off the tea, it’s going to be hard to separate yourself. Um, not necessarily difficult to approach off the T- shots, but just hard to separate yourself. You know, iron shots. We’ll see. Obviously, I’m going to value iron play from under 150 specifically. You got to be really good at the wedges. I do subscribe to the theory that yes, I think some of these pin locations will be very difficult to get to. Um, but these guys are professionals, right? Like you said, they want the phone if they wanted to. Yeah, especially with the shorter irons. If you do miss a green, yeah, like having a good bunker play is gonna be key, but who knows how many greens these guys are actually gonna miss this week and then just being able to put on fast bankrass surfaces if they can get it fast. JT week again, isn’t it? Oh, maybe short irons. Yeah, I don’t want to be golf sad again. I know. I’ll see how he’s how he’s a a bankrass though in his career. Yeah, although he won Madina. That was way a long time ago. That’s what he’s won at Nine Bridges. That’s bent grass. [ __ ] He’s won at I have to think. He’s won a lot of Bermuda and Overseed in his career. So, no. I’ll have to think about that one. All right, that’s all I got. You got any questions? No. I mean, that was pretty [ __ ] extensive, I guess. Like, just think because the field didn’t sell yet. What do you So, no Scotty. So Rory doesn’t That’s We actually uh look at the odds board real quick. I looked I I didn’t see anything. Oh, you got it up. Sweet. Beautiful. I was about to ask you, what do you think Rory opens at? [ __ ] three or four. So I guess basically we’re dealing with Scotty pricing this week. Four to one. Interesting. More power 16. So I I guess here’s here’s what I want to ask you. So all year we’ve been sitting like I I Okay, let me ask I’ll ask a different way now. for this year. If I told you shorter golf course, a lot of short wedges, you probably wouldn’t think Rory, right? Nope. What about this year, though? I know. Look what he did to [ __ ] Pebble and now he now he’s got the Masters Monkey off his back. Like, man, I I honestly feel like Roy could win like 12 [ __ ] if he played 12 tournaments, he could win 12 tournaments. Does that make sense? Like, I just feel like he’s so freed up. like that tenseness that you see that he always had and literally it was like a black cloud over his head. You could see it. They’d ask him about something and you could see like the wheels were just turning about I need to win Augusta. I need to win Augusta. And now that’s gone and now he’s rolling a TGL money too. Like back with his wife, happy wife, happy life. Won the Masters. Like holy [ __ ] Like Rory could go on a [ __ ] tail at Quail next week. Like I might single bullet. Well, so that’s the thing. People are going to be like, “Oh no, he’s going to win quail next week.” Like it doesn’t discount him from winning this, but I’m just saying like it doesn’t discount him to winning this, but I just mean in general like Yeah. I mean, I I think the point I’m trying to make is what the original question was. There are a lot of courses that we just didn’t think were Rory courses. We just price him out like that’s not going to be his week and he ends up winning. And then there’s other ones like oh Bay Hill or Tory Pines like you know the ones we traditionally think win at I think it goes back to what we talked about at the beginning of the year after he won Pebble. Um it was hey he’s clearly making different decisions, right? He’s clubbing down. He’s not trying to do the hero shot. He had he had already spoken about um watching Scotty and how he manages the golf course and and taking that in and being like, “Hey, listen. I need to be more like that because I am just as good as Scotty. I just try to do too much, right? Paraphrasing obviously. Um, but yeah, I mean, dude, Rory’s the best player on the planet right now. I don’t care if Scotty’s just won [ __ ] TPC bunny ranch. Like, that doesn’t Rory is the best player on the planet. Okay. All right. So, Rory’s four to one. Xander would interest me in the standpoint of like I mean, he’s won Travelers before. You know, his his iron game has been pretty good. Driving’s starting to come around a little bit. obviously a great banker, you know, like a 16 there on him. 16 that’s a fair number. 16. That’s a That’s a good number. Yeah. I think three years ago Patrick Hentley would be the play, but that’s three years ago. Stop it. No, no, no, no. Think about it. Like three years ago what Kentlay was doing like fair. Yeah. Bank grass like shorter irons like he dominates the BMW championship like Northern like those types of golf. Yeah. like three years ago that’d be the play. Like now though I don’t know what the hell I’m getting out of them. Um maybe it’s Gantley time. I already used them in one of them unfortunately. Yeah. Um you know Hoblin Fleetwood like Fleetwood at 28 to1. This is another [ __ ] one. Like these books are just they they take this is like drug dealers taking advantage of heroin addicts. Like hey uh I’ll give you this little taste. You want a little taste? This one’s free and you got to come at 28 to1. a guy who’s never won on the PGA Tour is 28 to1. It’s absurd. Okay, let me ask. So, I’ve been taking the philosophy of these elevated events that I’m basically doing top of the board or like a fallen star who has like one big time events. Yep. So, I guess if I’m looking here, where do I stop? Would it be would it be Keegan? Keegan 45 and Straa 50. 50. You stop at 50 with Straka. He putts well. I I can buy myself a nostraa. I guess he he putts really well. Like are you I guess I guess technically Minmu and Sam Burns are in that too. But Pendy here [ __ ] three goddamn years. Yeah. I mean here’s a Fen at 65. That would qualify as a guy who showed up on both those leaderboards. True. And he’s a fallen star. But he’s been a mess. Has he been a mess though? Yeah. I don’t think he’s I don’t think he’s been big as mess as we think. Okay, we’ll have to look at that then. Uh I mean Justin Rose. Yeah. 65 to one. Yeah. I don’t I don’t hate big time golfer. Well, you get down here with Zelator. [ __ ] out of here. Yeah. I Yeah. Yeah. [ __ ] off. Yeah. Basically, if I’m going past 50 to1, it would be like do I want to just go blind on Fenau or Rose? Like guys who have won big time events before that have won types of place like this. Otherwise though, I’m probably living. Is Denny in this field? Denny is in this field. He is 60 to1. I’m probably living this range right here. Like down to like Hideki, which I don’t know if I want to go with. It’s probably going to be two guys in here and that’ll be my card. I can’t even [ __ ] pull. They don’t. So I was trying to pull up that for female. All right. Well, that’s it. That was a long show, but obviously it’s a new golf course. There’s a lot to cover and I hope you guys got a lot of uh stuff out of it. Well, you made me no longer golf sad. Good. I appreciate that. Yeah, I was very happy to do this show and I’m glad you’re happy at the end of it. Yeah. Listen, I was I was golf sad and you knew I was golf sad. That’s why off air you were like, “How you doing, man?” I’m fine. There you go. All right. We’ll be back on Tuesday. Uh we’ll go over the betting card. We’ll do the tip chart. We’ll have hopefully have Cam here to go over that. And yeah, um week before a major. We got a good golf course we haven’t seen before. Um you know, not on the PJ tour. We’ll see how low these guys go here. We’ll see. What do you think? So, what do you think just on a Sunday? What do you think the winning score is? I think someone’s gonna get to 20. Oh [ __ ] Really? Yeah. I do. I mean, look, at the end of the day, like if they’re supposed to get some rain. There’s a debate about how much rain they’re going to get. They It’s the forecast. I saw they’re going to get a lot of rain from like Monday to like Wednesday. And I know it rained up. I know it’s not Philadelphia. It rained up here a lot this weekend. There’s a lot of showers in the area. You’re Canada. I’m closer to Philadelphia than you are. Yeah, there there was a lot of rain in the air in the Northeast this weekend. Um I mean, obviously, we have people down in Philadelphia that we can ask. Yeah. But but if it’s soft again, you’re going to have a lot of guys hitting a lot of short irons from short grass into not tiny greens, like average size greens that could be soft like and like how how many times have we this? It doesn’t matter what the golf course is. If you give in those situations, these guys are going to eat it up. I know. All right. I guess it makes sense. makes me sad.
