Bob and I were headed to Pinehurst for a golf trip and he messaged me. He’s like, “Hey, Cole Cuts, I’m going to be in Pinehurst. I heard that you guys are going there. Would love to connect with you guys and have a drink.” We went and had a drink. And he was so funny that we invited him to dinner. We didn’t know at the time that he was a golfer. We We didn’t know that he was a big golfer. So, our friend at the time was like, “So, do you golf?” He goes, “Yeah.” And he’s like, “Well, what’s your handicap?” He’s like, “I’m like a one or two.” Yeah. He’s like, “If you’re really a two, like we’ve got a we’ve got a fourth spot tomorrow on two. um be there and like show us. And it was a Monday. So I’d gone there. I was I just happened to be down there with my wife for the weekend. And then I saw that they were in North Carolina and going down there. So I had to convince her that it was reasonable for her to drive separate to Pinehurst. She’s like, “Why would why on earth would I drive separate? It’s 4 hours away.” And I was like, “Well, I might meet up with these guys and I don’t know, maybe, you know, it’ll turn into golf or something. I don’t want you to wait around on Sunday night.” Um that’s very considerate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they invited me to play. It was like Monday afternoon. You guys were playing 36, but I was like, I have to work in the morning. Like, I can’t play the morning round. So, I like call my boss. You did like a like a almost like a cameo for my boss. Yeah. It was his birthday and he was like or my boss at the time is around my age and uh he was like followed Bob. So, I was like, if you do this video and just say it’s your birthday and ask him if I can play with you, I might be able to to pull this thing off. And that’s exactly how it went down. And I went out and I I played pretty well. Oh, I think I shot like 74 75.

Imagine if that didn't work out the way it did. Amazing how someone's career can change on a moment of chance!
This is an awesome story lol
This is one thing that proves to me fate is something supernatural because while BDS was a great channel pre FP since his addition it might be the most entertaining YouTube golf channel around. This is an amazing that gets better the more times I hear it.
You gotta give opportunities an opportunity!
A true modern marvel
Perez was actually a 2 hcp back then too
Sometimes the stars align and things work out how they should. I cant imagine BDS without Fat Perez. FP is a superstar
