[Music] and we are back here on the D’s Golf World show we got a lot to cover this week of course the Waste Management Phoenix Open just wrapped up also out there going on in the heat of the desert was the good good desert knockout we’re going to take a look at that Liv golf rder playing at night for the season opener and Tiger Woods unexpected withdrawal from the Genesis Invitational coming up right here on the Dan’s Golf World show well another year is passed the waste management is open I will tell you my heart feels slightly empty not being there this year uh but maybe it’s all for the best because I heard they kind of were toning the crowd down a little bit do you guys hear any news on this they were attempting to make some changes and do things to I don’t know slow down the chaos but apparently that wasn’t enough to slow down Thomas dietre or maybe that made the difference for him that’s what the guy needed to come out of nowhere and take his first PGA Tour win by five Strokes I will tell you to come in for your first win and take it by five Strokes in a packed field I mean somewhat you know I guess we didn’t have Rory out there and some of the other boys but Scotty sheffler was chasing him down Justin Thomas was playing fantastic now it’s not going to slow down drie uh but I’m just curious and I wish we could have some fans on do you guys think that they killed the vibe or do you think I don’t know it they maintained some of the fun what do you guys get from that I well I think like slowing down waste management is like giving a tiger like a milligram SX it’s not going to do anything a Jesus what an analogy right yeah that’s fair wow well um you know Josh you kind of went through and looked at some of the things that they did to um I don’t know mitigate the chaos what did you come up with uh okay so they I got to find it in here uh they added a new entrance near near the 18th T to improve crowd flow and reduce congestion their goal was to distribute foot traffic more evenly throughout the venue which makes sense I remember you know last year there were points it where it was just gridlocked there were people coming from every direction back to the main entrance and it was I mean it’s it’s like sitting in rush hour traffic nowhere to move nowhere to go and all you can think is like you know I don’t know something happens some [ __ ] screams fire and there’s nowhere for people to go this is going to be chaotic I think that was probably a pretty good decision on the part of uh the event organizers there what else they do they uh transition to All Digital ticketing eliminating the good anyday option now uh now these tickets they required a day specific ticket for any day you went and the prices increased you know why the the uh eliminating the good anyday ticket probably is a good thing for them last year there was terrible weather you know during the practice rounds it was raining it was gross whatever even I think the first round of the tournament still pretty bad that’s what created all those mudslides and everything and then the weather got nicer so I think everybody was like well hey I’m not going it sucks the weather’s terrible oh great now Saturday’s awesome let’s all go yeah and so now you sort of this uncontrollable amount of people who technically had a ticket to get in but all chose to come sort of on the same day or two which led to extreme chaos last year I’m assuming that like Waste Management has you know obviously those t where everything’s free like we had at Olympia but for those that don’t wonder what the highest bar tab was for one single person oh my God I would love to know that I would at minimum say 30 um I I can’t even imagine I mean you see those beer snakes where people have like the cups yeah like 20 feet tall I saw a video of I saw one was like 20 feet tall yeah and you always wonder you’re like uh you know is that like you know like how many feet is that guy who’s passed out in the cup chain like you know like he accounted for like a 4 foot section just down like five different people on his way to making that sometimes man you just if especially the snakes that are in the crowd you just hold that thing up people start passing you cups oh absolutely like it’s it’s a problem so Wrigley Field they do that like that’s the thing at Wrigley I got M taken away well people try to do it at the whatever it’s called the Guaranteed Rate I call it the cell uh for the white soy and as soon as you attempt it they take it so like every time I go I hide it and I I get at least like 20 30 cups before you know I get you know give me that um are you just collecting them off the ground or are you trying to consume all 20 to 30 beers uh it all well I I don’t like draft beer so like I just get cups from everyone else so you have none of the cups I might have had one you’re like excuse me sir I do apologize for me collecting all of these cups however I am completely sober oh what’s funny is okay what’s funny with the Cubs they uh they actually now have battles between left field and right field to see who’s can be longer and uh they I mean they just let him go with it now and I think it’s usually around the seventh or eighth inning is when they’re like okay all right time to give us the cups now like and they yeah once that starts to go to the upper deck like that’s usually when they’re just like all right guys like that’s like transcending levels you’re sitting in your sky and you just see coming it just starts elevating in front of you wasn’t there wasn’t there a time where it went across the whole Outfield h i mean I’m sure there was like it’s it’s the bleacher BMS out there get crazy you know so it’s a lot of fun but here’s the thing that I always imagine in my head or just contemplate when you have those long snakes like that like I think I heard the Western open beers were like $14 a piece so each one of those cups is 14 times a million or cup snake is valued at like $1.8 million yeah right yeah absolutely crazy like more than second place one I saw one of the golfers that was out there who I think it was during the the uh proam day or something like that and he had golf balls that were wrapped in $15 bills so he did terrible he start throwing them I what it’s such a fun idea it’s like you know we’re embrace ring the party here and I want to buy you guys some beers you get a beer you get a beer you get a beer when you went it totally eliminates people booing him right how are you GNA Boo the guy that’s giv free beer man those were the days oh hey Gizmo getting trashed by 10:00 a.m. and blacking out by noon Jesus the waste management was the best time of my life before I was abducted by that buffoon over there nice comb over you dingleberry and where can I get those earrings sorry if you couldn’t tell I’m pretty worked up yeah something is bugging me it’s eating me from the inside my core is filled with inner rage I can feel my inner teral Hatton coming out your inner teral Hatton hey the Rings uh the earrings you can get him at Claire’s um you know you’re welcome Jesus Claire how I I have a question about those earrings how long have those have been in your ears so here’s a funny story um I used to have like the gauged earrings like the I don’t know the huge ones I think I was at like a zero or a double zero like whatever and um when I was going on The Biggest Loser they told me they’re like you can’t have the gauged earrings on the show I was back than you loser so in 2007 I went and just found like a pair of hoop earrings and just put them in and they’ve been in sense you were like 19 yeah I mean it’s I I I I I forget they exist and like of course like I don’t think I would wear a pair of shoes from back then you know I don’t have any of like my outfits from then but I apparently still have these ears I don’t see fit you back then well that’s true that’s true in a good way yeah yeah of course of course remember when the first time you went to live I always dress up like a golfer and I put my golf B you know glove in my back pocket so I could go to places that you can’t go to and so I was buying like a a Jack and diet from the car girl and she’s like you guys are allowed to do that I’m like yeah I could do whatever want and then the guy DJ you want one too you want one yeah you get him one and then I walked up the guy I’m like hey I’m supposed to be my camera guy number two I was like on 16 I’m like you mind give me a ride because the guy looked over at me he’s like I was like yeah and he’s like how’d you play today I’m like oh man it wasn’t that windy today anytime you come to the shine and it’s not windy it’s a good day he’s like man good luck J he was telling me you act like a golfer at these tournaments that’s that’s that’s exactly what Gary’s explaining he he oh man shows up in full regelia with their hat and their pen and I walk in and I do the stair like the tiger walk and like only true golfers that will notice that I have like a tww head on sometime so obviously I’m not a professional because nobody else wears that hat except for Tiger but it got me into the 19th hole with Rory and Victor when they ate breakfast before this final round on Sunday and then my friend was working it and she’s like how’d you get in here I’m like you just got to act like you own the place uh you eventually they got me because like I saw like a little bit of whispering going on and I was like uh oh so then I finally like Hey where’s the bathroom they like where’s your credentials it’s like in my golf bag they’re like you’re not supposed to be here are you I’m like no they’re like you tricked us for a while I’m like I know I saw you guys talking run away like Rory I was like good luck Roars and then Victor ate double what Rory ate just like mounding the food he just came in like this um do you think the joke will ever go too far and you’ll be called up to the first te well when I was on the first tea at the Ridder cup at Madina like I always used to get Adam Scott like I look like Adam Scott which was great because Adam Scott’s a good looking guy but then I bought these glasses that are different and then the guy’s like what are you doing up here I’m like what he’s like you got a tea off student and the guy thought I was Zack Johnson I was like how I don’t you know whatever but Adam Scott to Z Johnson’s kind of not s up there what is rich gigl it I love it it’s just the whole like we’re talking about Waste Management Open I’ve got like stuff up here about like how many people are arrested last year like you know things about the Waste Management Open here’s Gary telling about a story he’s at a random event like going up to Roars and seeing how big of a plate full of food he’s got like you know not anything about what we’re talking it’s a fun story but well it was like the cups I kind of like intertwined it with the cups so the cups Rich it was the it was the cup that was so pathetic it was the cups uh Rich speaking of they for get us out the rails again here I’ll bring us all the way back Zack Johnson as you just mentioned came out and said that he thought that there should be a three beer limit to attendees at the waste management Dad can we just him instantly now what do you do get everybody has to have like a punch card don’t call me sir how do you regulate you know whatever a couple hundred th000 people and the quantity that they’re consuming I think one sip of my double Jack and diet would equivalate to three beers this do you want to know I would go be like sir you sir Ken sir Karen all right Rich what did you find did you find some stats for us well so they don’t have the arrest stats for this year that have been publicly released yet they do have from last year uh last year there were 54 arrests 21 ejections and 73 trespassing reports so yeah that’s that’s that’s quite a lot I’m assuming I’m assuming the all 54 people were also trespassed so like that’s 54 of the 73 um probably some of those objections were also just trespassed as what my guess is but yeah it’s kind of interesting what it be really interesting is to see how this year’s numbers compared to last year you I love watching these videos that come up on my Tik Tok where like people are arguing with cops and they’re trying to like trespass them because they’re videoing in like a post office and and the thing that they’re always said is like they tell the cop like you can’t trespass me the owner of the property has to so you you you can deliver that to me I wonder is there like a representative from Waste Management who is there to formally uh you know I don’t know give the trespass to the person like that’s their full-time job like I’m on trespassing Duty I have to be the representative from here and there’s a line and we’ve got to go through each one of these people and tell them they’re not allowed to come back well it’s kind of like private property like on like a a mall where like the cops are supposed to not have like any whatever and there’s like always like a an agreement between the cops and the owner of the private place that like that week they could just do I think yeah they just do whatever they want who’s got security credentials right like they have yeah you’re security yep trespass them see y That’s it that’d be uh I want to see that Tik Tock where someone’s like arguing the rules on that at Waste Management they’re like get him out of here buddy y’all quickly golfing if they kicked me out of Waste Management well you’d be golfing at Waste Management because you’re dressed for the occasion uh so let me ask you guys what do you feel as far as traditional PGA verse Waste Management Open like it’s vastly different like do you guys like it do you not like it like here you know what they need one a year I’m so glad you bring this up and I think that’s exactly right Josh I feel like why not have one absolutely you know I I don’t necessarily think and again who care maybe if this is what the fan we need to grow the game we need to grow viewership we we got some issues here you know what I mean like ratings are plummeting nobody’s tuning in anywhere and now you finally get the biggest event the biggest turnout and you’re going to tell everybody to shut up and quit having fun I I don’t you know these guys are all sending out emails to each other like these internal tour emails we all need to do more interviews and have more fun and you get Zack Johnson telling everybody they need sippy cups and drink slips you know what I mean yeah so here’s like just don’t go to at least say you know what there there has to be safety there has to be some assemblance of order but we’re respecting the fact that this thing is a global spectacle and I mean you look at you know even we’re looking at the picture here of of of whole 16 it’s beautiful it’s like what do you wanted to be like well you know there’s too much shade on the T boox let’s kick the fans out and make this thing smaller you know like where do you draw the line on the the optimal scenario for the golfers or creating a viewable product for golf fans and you know I don’t know and viewers alike listen but just like in any type of golf shot you have to compartmentalize the you know pre-shot routine and that’s just something you’re going to have to compartmentalize when you go to the waste management that you’re going to have a lot of yelling and you’re just going to have to adapt that into your swing and deal with it yeah you’re a great player you’re going to do it or you’re gonna say hey you only get three beers and I will say like I like a lot of guys you see like Ricky fer has done it in years past like he’ll get over a putt and people some people are shushing and some people are making noise and Rick’s like no no no everybody just make noise like let’s not let’s not be in the in between where I’m like waiting for it to get quiet and some people aren’t and then all of a sudden one guy yells let’s just make it like white noise or gray noise and just everybody’s making noise then I can kind of dial into my shot and take it but I think that’s it it’s like you know instead of creating this expectation of like well at Augusta you’re not allowed to have your phones and there is no running and the patrons are supposed to wear you know tuxedo um it’s like that’s that is what the Masters is for and when you go there you ER that and you love that and it’s it actually feels wonderful to put the phone away and just soak up Augusta National and I’m speaking from Pure experience scary and um but it’s like the same thing like waste management is a different thing to be embraced but like Waste Management like I would like to go to the 16th hole and like you know experience it but honest to God if somebody does something crazy like I’m wearing a rain jacket I’m not getting soaked with beer sticky and smelly and weird all day well well on that topic and smelling like beer we did get our uh annual Hoin one that we so anxiously await for um it was let’s see here who got it um was hops right look at that guy’s hops ailano gorillo got the hole in one on the iconic Par 3 16th hole the stadium hole at the Waste Management Phoenix Open the hole was playing at a luxurious 155 yards quick question right here through the group what club are you using Gary 150 yards n iron Josh what are you hitting 150 yards uh six six iron rich 155 155 yards so right now my distance isn’t there at all so I’m I’m a six six iron fair enough uh Ricky Fowler he said um he he said on that hole there’s so much adrenaline expect the ball to go farther he he said so don’t club club down and hit like a nice flighty shot and try and be fancy and cute go the other direction take less Club because your heart’s going to be pumping and you’re gonna swing and I thought that’s interesting like even thinking of like high pressure moments you know and really understanding I don’t know like your energy and your adrenaline and all that to say in this moment I can’t be cute and kind of play a fun shot I’ve been working on I need to play a shot that is going to respond well to my energy and everything that’s kind of going on inside you didn’t answer are you going wedge um 15 if I’m gonna go Ricky Fowler yeah that that’s probably pitching wedge for me I would say um because I would be if if I hit like an adrenaline filled nine iron I’m I’m sailing the green yeah cuz yeah go ahead guess what it was again what are we guessing slam dunk it was it was straight in the hole Yeah with a with a quick little swirl around that was a nice little um but I did feel like and I don’t know maybe I because I wasn’t there you know but it seemed like there was less beer and cups and everything thrown onto the hole in years past it seems like you know that’s what they should stop if anything like come on I don’t know I here’s like a hatrick I was just gonna say that I was gonna say do you tell people to stop throwing their hats on the ice for a hatti trick I’m a little bit of a dad when it come to that uh but you know what funny and I took pictures of it I I should have sent them to you they have P they have uh signs posted that say do not throw anything onto the and they’re posted all over the railings for whole 16 they talk about pace of play and well and what I think is funny is like are they doing this just like to kind of cover their own ass like well we told them not to you know because nobody is not going to when you know a Hoin one happens because the place erupts people throw anything though out there oh they’ll throw anything that’s like the no smoking sign at the range where you’re ripping a dart right next to it you like you light your match off of it you got to rip a golf heater and you got to throw your trash on the waste management whole 16 it’s almost like they’re begging for it it’s the garbage open and we’re not allowed to throw stuff come on what are we doing look at this the the t- marker is a garbage truck like it’s the think about though like I absolutely love it’s so good good I mean we think about viewer like you said earlier viewerships down not for this place number one intended place you know you got people view I mean think about how many non-golfers are viewing Tik toks and viewing whatever on this and when it they hit the hole in one and drawing fans into oh wow you know for the fan that doesn’t get austa because they haven’t grown up with golf and they haven’t like absolutely loved it their entire life now they see the waist Management Open they’re like oh man that like a party that looks awesome like it’s only good for the game in my opinion and the money out there is just insane well yeah I mean insane money money like from the from where because like I I stayed at TPC Scott sale for like two and a half weeks like on the property in this townhouse and like I didn’t get to play that course because it was closed for you know their building everything so I got to play the other one and um I round that it was like 175 bucks offseason I I don’t know if his offseason but in season was like way more but then like a replay was like a 100 but like I mean everything’s just so much more expensive I read a stat last year so I’m not sure if it applies to this year but I would assume so that there are more um like Club Suites yeah at at this tournament than than any other so all these different you can be on the you know the 17th Fairway Sky Club box and the whatever the 15th green Michelob whatever box like it’s insane you look at like an aerial view and the amount of buildout that goes into this event is unbelievable so when you talk about the money that goes through the event I mean some of these are like $115,000 a person tickets I mean they’re unbelievable experiences um and then there’s also like nighttime concerts and DJ stuff um there’s one of them like uh on the 18th Fairway that after the round of golf like uh like high-end well-known DJs coming in play inside of just their sweet section like it it it really is unbelievable you know so you look at it’s and again it’s probably the same again this year it’s the number one highest attended golf event in the world there are more physical people who show up to this golf event throughout the course of the week over any other one in existence and just like capalo I think like this is one of those ones where the wives don’t miss it like they look forward to waste management did you guys see that that it was like a screenshot of a text flowing around Instagram and uh it was something like the the wife or girlfriend or whatever texts and goes how’s your work trip going and he says back something like uh why do you say work in quotation she’s like yeah because your buddy so and so just text his wife saying he’s hammered drunk on whole 16 and he’s like what we can’t have a little fun on a work trip and she said we’re having a long long ass talk when you get home a long ass talk so we when you’re talking about all those structures and stuff do they build them all every year yeah and that’s what’s Wild to me is like I look at it and it’s like it starts months out is it like three months and then it it takes months after so like you’re looking at like a six-month window I think from like getting the whole thing set up to tore down which leads you back to the six-month window of getting the things set up and tore on like I what kind of Racket are we doing here like like the the the the tear down guys highfive the setup guys and they just like come right back in after the other I don’t know but yeah like there’s even pictures and it looks so weird if you see a picture of whole 16 without the oh like back in the day when tiger made his whole one yeah or like when they have you know the the structures taken down like it just it’s like it’s like blah just like a regular random par three in the middle of a random regular round of golf like it looks so like I don’t know it just you’re just like oh it’s like a 155 y power three they don’t keep this up all year round oh no like I mean it’s incredible like the cranes that are in there and like it it’s wild the Heat and the the desert sand and I mean just the elements would just and look how white and nice and clean that they would never be able to keep it that nice looking well those the white around like the underneath where everyone’s standing that that’s that’s a a vinyl that’s some type of yeah it’s completely fresh and completely wrapped brand new every year so it’s like V up for like a year no thank you it’s all ripped yeah well animals are going out there like listen this is the waste management but it can’t look like garbage they could afford it yeah nice thank you thank you Gary how cool would it how cool would it be if they like somebody designed a course to be the next Waste Management Open whatever it is it’s somewhere but they just build it all like permanent structures and like you know it’s almost wild that’d be fun like not 18 stadiums but maybe there’s like half of them you know nine out of the 18 holes have like stadiums set up or you know maybe both threes on either side so you got four that are now like this hole and you know I don’t know just like it’d be fun too like you could pay to play the course during the year when it’s not uh in a tournament and they still have like music pumping around like whatever holes yeah you just get like a little bit of the vibe like you know have you played when like uh events been done and now it’s like you know a couple days after and they still got the stands up I have not no that when we went to the fire Lake played deer what was that TBC de yeah John Deere classic you go under the structures in the cart it’s I mean it’s just so fun that is fun it was so I’ve done it like a few times and it’s neat well I um I would like to you were invited but you left as quick as you could which is fine I was really said that understood all right Rich frame a reference or no yes okay uh Gary and I played in this $10,000 scramble that was the grand prize for the winning group I did you say 10K yeah yes Steve umry was doing Chicago golf scrambles and it’s like the most best one that people traveled in from everywhere putting these teams together um 250 250 guy I don’t know 250 a guy or a team a guy a guy you’re playing on uh a Jack Nicholas course it’s the whole thing huge prize it’s beautiful um I played in fact one of the worst rounds of my life I mean just I I and it got to the point where I started spiraling where near the end of the round I couldn’t I was just gone I was mentally gone and I couldn’t even hit a ball like we’re over an easy par three whatever 150 yards I just hit it right into the woods with like a I don’t know whatever iron like I just I lost that the best the best one was we were out of power five oh my God like 75 yards in front of us 40 yards to the left and Dan just nailed their cart and I I hit a three-wood topped it shanked it everything it and it went straight left at the other team’s cart and they’re all like running and dive like a movie I’m just I’m gone I’m we get done with 18 we’re in the parking lot I’m like we’re going to go out and play again like you ready and he’s like no and he got in left like oh I said I’m not playing going home text him like Hey you want to play deer and he’s like no no I’m going home I’m going home like I I I am not playing any more golf today and that might be among the few times ever where I could have golfed more and didn’t sure usually it’s like man I’d love to play more I can I I got stuff going on dang it like I have fun guys this was the first time like no I totally can I’m out and that was the first time we ever like were share at a hotel and we instantly went to the the cooling and we’re like what are you doing what are you doing I’m like I’m putting it down to 64 he’s like yeah I’m putting it down to 64 I’m like okay we’re on the same page the oh the thermostat the thermostat thank you 64 yeah he’s um so there you go there was your frame of reference to a tangent so you at least understood what was going on as we’re talking about Waste Management still do do we tangent the tangent and talk about uh this weekend that we had uh when we were down in Florida uh yeah I mean we might as well speaking of getting out and playing some golf it was nice we did a little fam trip down to Fort got a nice little house everything whole thing rented for a couple weeks uh rich and I spent about a week down there together and got to get out and play some real outdoor golf you know what I mean like and listen during the winter God bless simulators you know what I mean I I feel like that’s that keeps me same but I the last outdoor round I played was on Thanksgiving we do like a turkey scramble every year and at that point I hadn’t played outdoor for maybe like a few weeks that’s was like forever I know and I I finally got to hit off some grass play some real outdoor golf I mean I did play a par three thing like back in December but that didn’t count it was I wasn’t hitting driver like you know playing real golf uh and we got out there Rich we got after we a little did a little 2v2 scramble um and I will say Rich The Game’s coming together I’m seeing some improvements from last year when we were playing in the fall yeah let’s go here we go here we go thank you I’m excited I I’m so excited it was it was a great time I mean it was so much fun we had uh our Uncle Bill was out there with us we had another friend of ours who just happened to be down in Florida and so we called him up so we got the force going uh I did not have my clubs I was playing with Dan’s Club so maybe I need to get set of C that’s you know maybe maybe it was the clubs I don’t know I yeah I mean it was it it was just great I I’m was so thankful and so blessed that we got to be down there for the week like it was just absolutely awesome I heard you were very unaware of that you’re hitting Dan’s clubs you like walking away and just like but I but I gotta go I was like putter putter putter putter yeah yeah yes that happened definitely several times you know it’s like when you’re in a scramble like whoever hits first is like kind of showing the line and you stand behind it try and study it and then quickly try and hit one right after that with the adjustment you saw necessary so like I’m watching the ball and I want to step right up to it and hit mine and I’m like rich rich rich rich rich rich like to glaze Rich up though like what he asked you when we played that turkey scramble he goes are we here to have fun drink some beers or like do we want to win and you’re like Gary always wants to so like like that was great cuz like that right then you know most people don’t do that yeah dude and it’s appreciate it and it’s awesome I’m glad you guys had fun this weekend this week I had fun this week go ahead Josh oh I I thought I was dying did you did you die no both want to know if you did did you so on on Wednesday hey everybody congratulations Josh did not die this week confirmed Wednesday night after day we shot uh the audio version pod uh I started getting pain in like my mouth area I’m like oh this hurts next morning I’m like it hurts even more so I had to go to the dentist the figure out what’s going on I had a cracked tooth ow that was cracked inside the gum oh so so no no dentist could find it unless you had an x-ray so I had to get that removed same day and keep in mind I’ve had reconstructive jaw surgeries I’ve had all that this pain was worse than all that not put together but it hurt but it it ran on an anniversary to one of my most traumatic experiences with my jaws jaw story is I had screws here here here here and here so when I had to reconstruct the draw surgery if my mouth was not lined up they would have taped it like braces or not taped it but rubber banded like braces yeah so but they took them out I didn’t have like there there’s no like was this like a skateboarding accident or something I had a tumor in there oh no God I’m so glad you’re okay uh Jesus Christ he did not die from that either I can confirm uh so I thought he was like chewing gravel or something like that like no so what happened was there’s no like washers or anything you could put in flesh so it was straight actual screws oh screwdriver and you know you can’t just like put a screwdriver in there and start screwing you have to push on it and start so I had five of those removed puke 11 years before same day as this removal and then I couldn’t eat any food where was the tumor like it was so they took out from here your hinge joint yeah from the third tooth in the back so all that did you see the mass or was it like oh dude it was huge oh wow it it was it made my face blow up and they took bone from my hip I still have about like a third of the plate in there you got to thank your lucky stars when you’re healthy I I have a similar but very different sickness where the whole time you’re telling that I’m like processing jokes about hip bone I’m like stop stop this is this is not the time I was about I’ve heard all of them I’ve heard all of them before he said Tu I was like what did they do about your face though was it killing them oh dude Jesus so I was in I was in so much pain and if you guys didn’t check out the audio only episode go check that out on Spotify I don’t know how I edited that uh I don’t know how that happened maybe we need to go back and give it a full relist just to see if uh you know Josh you know I don’t lost uh control of his abilities during any of editing man I don’t think I think I did a decent job but oh I couldn’t focus I was hopped up on we’re glad that you’re you’re okay in your look cway decent right for sure glad I pulled out the last stitched this this morning I just keep looking over but joshu will be like this like what’s he laughing at like I’m like there’s always like an I’m like what he’s like straight looking at me it’s funny I don’t give me those eyes he’s got that crazy look in his eyes well little I’m definitely glad you’re feeling better Josh and obviously that was not fun at all um but golf Flor was fun oh yeah the golf the also the I’m so disappointed that we had the technical problems with the podcast like I absolutely loved we set up a great shot where we had the beach in the windows in the background and like I I knew you guys were getting an ice storm and I don’t know about y’all but when I’m on vacation to a warm weather place and I know Chicago is getting really really bad weather it makes my time even better yeah yeah have fun in the snow tomorrow yeah like I don’t want to hear that there’s like an unseasonable Heat Wave coming through Chicago I want I wasted it a did you were you guys gone I think the week you guys were gone or the week before we had like a wildfire warning like it the atmosphere and everything was so dry that like it could cause a wildfire in Illinois or in California no in Illinois I took the garbage out though during the ice storm because it was like 900 p.m. 10 o00 that when it really and you had to just Shuffle and it wasn’t like it was raining either it was that like that sneaky Mist that you know that will that like black ice like the black tops oh my God like that was the worst but anyways I prefer snow storms over ice storms any day of the week ice storms are the worst I just hate all of them all right before we uh move on from here I want to punch through a few more quick things from uh the winner of the waste management Thomas dietry I thought this was kind of interesting and I felt like the the guy was pretty due for a win uh 2009 at 16 years old he won the Dutch Junior open uh competition of golfers under 21 in uh 2010 he represented Belgium in the European boys Team Championship also in 2010 he was selected for the junior Ridder cup competing against future stars like Jordan spe and Justin Thomas um and let’s see 2012 to 2016 attended and played golf at the University of Illinois I didn’t know he was guy didn’t know that um of course getting himself a business management major that uh 2012 to 2016 um 2013 he was a big the big 10 freshman of the year 2015 he was the Big 10 golfer of the year and finished his amateur career ranked fifth in the world amateur golf rankings that is quite an impressive resume and then went on to not secure himself a PGA Tour win until this week so the guys he got the goods he was looking like Tommy Fleetwood like a an incredible golfer who never secured the win I got you there I got you nice um but he finally did and good for him with a a five stroke lead and I want what I thought was in incredibly impressive was coming down the stretch not that it was getting close at all but he just went on to birdie I believe it was the final four holes that fun just back to back to back to back just to like insult the injury make sure and is so nice oh my God the crowd everybody and he threw a dart just an absolute Dart so uh good for you Thomas dietre and um let’s see what what did he bring home was it 1.65 million yeah is that what the the payout was um you know like listen none to shake a stick at I I I don’t have a debit card with 1.65 million anywhere on it I do also just feel like for you know $14 beers and cup snakes that go like four and a half miles I don’t think 1.65 million is a ton of money the purse seems low too you know I don’t know that that that that’s a little interesting you know maybe the Thunderbirds in their Foundation um are getting a lot of that it’s a signature event right uh Waste Management build that I mean God how much does it cost to construct that Mr Rich if you could look that up maybe uh yeah either way regardless I that doesn’t sound like a gigantic prize for the biggest the highest attended golf tournament on the planet yeah I don’t know whatever Jack you’d probably say that back of the day what was their prizes like back of the day I won this thing and got $78 in coupons to Jewel Osco um the jewels the jewels I like Jack’s story about how they used to drive to tournaments and they would have cloth diapers and it would be like 100° heat and you’d just have to ride in the car with the soil diaper cuz you have to rewash it for him or for his kids for for his kids oh yeah yeah I don’t know I I’m not going to even joke about the bear um also going on out there in Arizona do you guys see the good good desert knockout absolutely that’s so cool did you watch the whole thing I did watch the whole thing I was doing cardio they watching it it was awesome so like you were seeing parts of it as it was like bouncing in front of your that WR for Garrett of course naturally dude is he your favorite internet golfer is he like your tiger of YouTube Dereck Clark yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah like I like he’s just cool and you know what he he made a big decision when you know he was going to go to college and they’re like you got to delete all your socials to be and he’s like you know what forget that and like look at him now and like Grant Grant’s great for so many other reasons but I just think Garrett would just be a blast like when he was trying to shoot that 66 or whatever and he’s waking up you could just tell he had a night oh dude and he’s like burping into the and he’s like getting and then he’s like okay we just had like an art rain session I’m ready to rock now I like that their demo is starting to become an older like their content becoming older more mature cuz finally like you know good good started what five six years ago something like that I would say it started like 11 years ago oh the good good with him doing trick shots and stuff GM Golf original like OG crew yeah like I feel like since everyone’s kind of like aging up now they’re finally like aging up with the content which is nice but do you know what’s crazy too fun fact go on and I don’t know if this is 100% true but they said it on The Telecast that Garrick Clark and Micah Morris are cousin when doubt it that’s because really makes a lot of sense well no it totally makes sense but it also makes him like departing good good and all that like I don’t know a little more SC crazy the transition like because when mikah was on Grant’s page and he shot 80 or under 79 I don’t know I he did what he wanted to do and everybody loved him and man what a and then all of a sudden like I hadn’t seen him for like a couple months and all the comments were like man I’m sick of Micah when are they gonna kick this guy off man he like settle down yeah dude like he’s playing golf you have to be [ __ ] like I don’t know if that’s true though no it the cousin thing I don’t know if that’s maybe it was a false report yeah from the broadcast you heard it too you remember I showed you yesterday you’re like wait wait play that back can we just say we need more litted up nighttime golf because we only have golf displays night golf here and I don’t know anything I agree I definitely think we need more lit it up night golf night golf so fun and and context does that make sense um lit it up night Rich did you just have a YouTube video play or something totally did I totally did pulled up the I pulled up the good good golf guys to see how many subscribers they had they’re at uh 1.74 million Subs right now on YouTube wow and YouTube’s hard to get like that you know YouTube’s a different Monster uh so they did this uh the desert knockout I think it’s fun what what I think is interesting is these guys are bringing something new to golf you know what I mean they’re I don’t know they’re they’re creating different formats for these competitions and things so essentially the way that this particular tournament went is they were teams of two and then they all play the hole and whatever team of two scores has the worst score for the whole they lose a life after losing two lives your team is knocked out and you continue playing continue playing until everyone is knocked out uh this ended up coming down to a chip off sort of a showdown of sorts uh Josh who was left in there for that chip off oh it was Garett Clark and Nate shot versus um Brad dokey and Zack king um what’s a nade shot he is a uh Pro Gamer streamer he’s actually from around around here really yeah I’m so mad that good good came to K Hill and played with three of my friends with the 6v6 against the college kids and I was literally there hitting golf balls and they were all out there playing golf I had no idea and then he Garrett just randomly came out there once in Axel you know trust trust uh another context that nobody knows about but anyways he’s like oh Garrett’s here and Garrett took a picture with them and just was cool as could be so you started it off with saying you were so glad why are you so glad for that which part what I don’t know you said I’m so glad they came out to coog Hill I’m wondering why they made you so glad well because like there’s a chance you’re going to do it again and I will make sure that I’ve already tackle I’ve already no no yeah give them like a surprise hug I’ve already told all the bosses that would know about it that like if they do struggle snuggle let me let me know because I’ll give you like $100 uh Rich do you have something over there I feel like you’re you’re you’re typing away you’re searching the internet I feel like there’s something churning in your mind over there well I’m moving through a lot of stuff as we’re moving through the the oldest video for the good good guys is from four years ago so we were kind of wondering time frame so that’s what that sets um also I looked up before we because we moved down from the Phoenix Open I have a few facts about Phoenix Open feel free to throw them in if they’re interesting do is there something we want to know yeah I got a couple good ones so we were talking about uh what thas dri’s rank was yeah so he was ranked 58th before the win and he jumped all the way up to 22nds wow lot of points in that win lot of Point lot of points lot of points to to to win in front of over 500,000 attendees at the W so that was his brand value just went straight up you know not that you just said 500,000 attendees 1.6 million is not enough you’re right it’s not enough it’s nowhere near enough yeah that that’s like a like it could be like 4 million easy like two and a half bucks a person you know what I mean like come on what are we doing here the but I mean so but that really shows that the a lot of the purse isn’t coming from the attendees it’s coming from uh different advertising so maybe they don’t have the good advertising game going I don’t know uh but they are saying that a luxury Skybox Suites are priced at like $55,000 I don’t know if that’s a day I don’t know if that’s what 55 sweet thousand there’s everything they also added something new this year they’re called um uh not instead of like court side and basketball they called them uh Turf side or green side or whatever teeside they were teeside and so the seats were essentially like on the 16th green like the T box on the 16th T box so you’re sitting like on the grass level right with the guys who are hitting the ball and uh there was some fun videos of of some of the people there like when the hole-in-one happened that they’re like there and the dude’s jumping and they’re jumping like oh be so fun so fun I I can only imagine how much that costs oh too much um well the other thing I love too about it is payments you know income but I didn’t realize how much program stuff they do for for the open as well like that’s like it was so much fun watching all these different guys Pro guys like going out there uh you know just like like we talked about the guy throwing out the beers right like he knew he was gonna do terrible but he just brings a box of balls that are wrapped with $15 a piece so hey here’s a beer and you got the tip included you know but I love you’re even seeing guys like jelly roll out there like it’s just incredible like there’s just there MGK’s out there like totally so much fun so so much fun actually pretty good at golf as beibs Justin Bieber so is n heran and he and Tom Holland oh yeah Tom Holland’s cool Tom he’s on Golf Digest all the time on their YouTube page well like what’s his name uh Allison Chains or right Allison Chains yeah like school out he’s like a three Kenny G’s like a three handicap Ray Allen’s like a three handicap Steph Curry’s like a three handicap wow I really so is uh what’s his name uh Andrew Santino he’s a two or three handicap that’s crazy that’s awesome I think Matt has hit the most impressive shots on good good though that’s for sure and I like how Bubby and Matt go to church together I think that’s kind of like genely wholesome if would you like if you find out what church they went to and you were anywhere near no I would never that’s weird I just wonder you draw the line like that’s the line well then I was going to ask are you going to wear like you’re Sunday Best so you’re like the red you know the whole thing yeah uh so I just learned that schools out is sung by Alice Cooper Alice Cooper thank you I I did I didn’t know that yeah I don’t know I met him at was playing he was a cool guy I got a picture with him so F bump no fist bumps handshake we talked about rattlesnakes for five minutes before he cheed off of course he did cuz he was playing at the Twitter Center well not it’s like something else but it’s had like seven different names after that oh yeah it’s like the cell Alice I said Alice that was coer um anything else interesting from the the good good desert knockout uh it looked fun I to me like if if I was in town I would have tried to go I I I think it would just be cool cool to watch cool to see you were going to go to the last one the desert open or whatever they had but it was rainy and stuff so you didn’t yeah well it wasn’t even just the rain it was my schedule was so past I was doing that spot with uh Ricky fer and Kao and puma and that whole thing kind of ran long and it was like I would have had to have I don’t know it was just it was too much so you know you make all the plans and keep half of them the usual uh let’s see here oh well I look at this viewer breakdown the full broadcast on good Good’s Channel had over 22 uh 220,000 views and still Rising there’s probably more totally and what’s interesting about that is I think like like the last PGA Tour event forgot what city but I was hearing the numbers it was right around those same numbers like these guys are getting PGA Tour numbers yeah even though there was like under a thousand people there in attendance it still gets the you know I don’t know the audience draw of the greatest golfers on the planet that’s unbelievable well they actually made it into a six episode series and the series is averaging about 450 views per episode 450 views per episode 450k per episode and I mean it’s ranging up up and down depending what episode so and the last episode just been out for four days so that’s why they’re able it’s only at the 236 it’ll get up to that 450 500 like a month ago I saw like they were going to go on a grant and Garrett were going to go on like a road trip and film all that I don’t know if they did it or they they’re done or in the process of editing or what happen with that but I have not seen or heard anything about that just like two weeks into it they hate each other and they can still like 9h hour drive today um you know what like I don’t know okay so I’m watching the broadcast and they cut back to like one of the the the anchors on the desk and they have this like character puppet popup and it’s talking and here’s the thing I am no one to judge a puppet style character to be on a show however puppet he’s real thank you they have like like this literal like hand puppet like Sesame Street gopher doing like act like literally bad jokes not like like our kind of enjoyable terrible jokes that we love like like not even remotely funny jokes like like just missing the Mark I’m like what am I watching why like why so it’s apparently it’s the golf now gopher get this guy the off my damn screen right now the golf now gopher are you seeing this [ __ ] Dan I know we have our differences but F this guy right I feel like he’s been trying to cop my style since he arrived on the scene in 2023 did Dave kulia let his woodchuck puppet loose I’ve been around since 2016 this guy needs to move the on Jesus he thinks he’s high on life working for NBC and [ __ ] fzy bear just called me asking if his cousin is still in rehab I said no he’s on TV hosting a YouTuber golf broadcast I hope a grounds keeper stabs him as he’s making a new hole on the green for the week this guy has nothing that even comes close to the legend of the giz Meister I give away Green Jackets [ __ ] beat that wow that that well so apparently I’m not the only one triggered by this oh man I I think there’s some real beef here there is I and I got I actually learned from it I guess apparently he started his career in 2023 thank you Gizmo for actually doing research and not just um making fun of me the whole time that was actually he also he also gave himself a nickname now he’s the giz Meister he’s been the giz Meister yeah um in certain circles right his own he used to gizm for the giz I’m Larry I yeah I don’t know why just the whole it caught me off guard a little bit to see this like puppet deal I don’t know it looks like a cracked out gopher come on Cor me if I’m wrong Sandy but if we kill all the golfers they’re going to lock me up and throw away the key exactly I mean I’m assum I’m assuming that that’s what they’re Jesus bro come on you got to know that’s from cat and he’s like he’s like no the golf the golfers the brown furry oh yeah we could do that you guys are going to hate Josh you’ve seen the go you’ve seen seen C before right oh my no joshh have you no I’m kind of like am I looking at you you are rich actually like the perspective is there I like that no I I hand up accountability have never seen pedy Shack he’s not allow to talk until you seen Cy Shar yeah so from here on out on this show you are no longer allowed to give Dan any grief at all any show he’s never seen until you you who are on a golf podcast have watched cat I’ve seen happy Gore it’s way better it’s hard you have not seen catty Shack like so you cannot say it’s better what do you think Josh I’ll see it but do you know what golf movie I want to watch it’s uh Happy Gilmore toore no no there’s one with Shia lauff oh yeah the greatest game ever played yeah i’ I’ve seen that one and there’s another one where there’s a guy who broke broke all his it might be where he broke all his clubs and had one Club he goes this is all I’m using um that was the S IR yeah that was um the guy from Yellowstone who broke clubs yeah what’s your favorite line in in in catty Shack Rich oh there’re just so many good ones um I I I really I don’t have a I don’t have my favorite I’ve said this up for me my favorite absolutely he goes yeah um I’m about to tea off uh I’ll be there about a half hour and then they like ladies talking to him he like oh yeah I just stick a tube down St I’ll be there four or five hours you know the uh the uh desert knockout good good whatever it’s called I’m already not on that sheet anymore uh wasn’t the only tournament played at night uh here in the past week livol did their season opener in uh R Saudi Arabia and they played at night uh you know of course they said that the reason they did this is so that way the broadcast could be live during sort of regular television hours here in the United States uh but Rich we were actually talking about this and you’re like yeah but it could also be because it’s like a thousand degrees during the day and uh night might be the absolute best time to play golf anyway so there could have been multiple reasons behind that for sure like F1 they do most of their races that are out there are done at night and F1 does not cater to the US audience at all like you if you’re watching F1 you’re watching it 3 in the morning 4 in the morning all the time but they do it because the streets get so hot those tires heat up so much they literally just belt off the car so they do it at night so that the cars can actually like perform and not just explode from the heat which I imagine is got to be you know that timing thing is irritating for all like 4,000 of their viewers in the United States f1’s a lot bigger than that come on F1 pulls bigger numbers than golf does in theit States is what I said in the United States it’s gigantic in the in the world but in the united stat guy that Tony guy or something for Ferrari I have no clue they they made the movie about about it called gr charismo have you seen it mhm no it’s it’s actually pretty cool it’s about video games yeah he starts in a like a the crazy simulators and he ends up being one of the best uh Racers that is one of my bucket list things is to do the race card thing I can he Rich typing CH PT oh yeah tell me the numbers of F1 versus Golf and why it gets more viewers and how important it is F1 was just in Chicago and nobody knew yeah they did oh sorry you couldn’t get downtown nor did we want to uh Rich what’ you find it’s my internet’s dragging right now worse uh now I know is the guy that won the f one or something there was a picture of him next to like a you know a super car and like the comments were like daddy’s money or like dude doesn’t even know how to drive it and everybody’s like yeah he drives that better than anybody in the world you speaking of a highly viewed sporting events this obviously Sunday was uh Super Bowl Sunday oh and it was fun cuz we just got back from Florida Saturday so Sunday was like our kind of regrouping day and like you know wife kids were all like like let’s go to the store and get some like fun appetizers and snacks and we’ll do our own little cery board yeah totally oh yeah um and or girl dinner as you know it’s called on Tik Tok I eat that all the time I’ll eat a whole plate so we go get all this fun stuff whatever come back to the house and like we’re getting the TV turned on and like we have Apple TV so I’m like going to like the Direct TV app and Stacy looks at me she’s like do you really want to watch a Super Bowl and I’m like no so we watched reruns of Goliath and I didn’t watch a second of it you had you got to watch the Super Bowl N I saw the important parts on Tik Tok I watch I did not watch we didn’t even turn we didn’t even open the app that would play it like I literally watched Z club downtown my buddy just opened it up and he’s got two of them now and like literally like I slept through Sunday I’m just recognizing rich is frustrating right now head in hand I feel like Super Bowl Rich please please disclose your frustrations did you have some good squares that didn’t hit no I’m frustrated in Dan not even watching any of it at all like it’s the Super Bowl you gotta watch for the commercials if you don’t like football I saw replays of the halftime show that wasn’t my jam like I I didn’t you know I didn’t I didn’t need that you know I don’t know well I I don’t know I wasn’t a huge fan of the Super Bowl halftime show for sure I mean Kendrick Mar he’s super popular you know a couple of his songs are good the thing with him and his beef with Drake has just gone so much it’s like have no idea about it why did you take why did you take your entire Super Bowl halftime show you’re supposed to be gaining more fans play your hits do stuff like that instead he just does his whole beef with Drake thing I will say though that is his biggest song right but he couldn’t play it because there was a ceas and assist that was sent to Fox and to uh the the NFL so he couldn’t even play his biggest song like I don’t know sounds like I missed a bunch uh was it an exciting game no it was awful so again I did so why are you telling me needed to tune in so I could just I love the game the game was absolutely awesome no you sit through and you watch the commercials the commercials are what is what makes the Super Bowl for the you’re even agreeing that the Super Bowl is not interesting you can’t wait for them to take a break I don’t like football I would like to go to a Super Bowl maybe once yeah like that’s something I would I would still do I would go to a Super Bowl rich quick question how irritated would you be though if I got the invite to go to a Super Bowl just kind of like uh you’re like you’re wasting it this is a waste he’s a fraud strawberries to jackass if you’re if that would be the one time if you used your plus one with on Stacy I would that what that’s what I would be upset with like maybe I could put something where she get sick or maybe if you don’t bring me to a good good thing I’d be like yeah no I here’s the thing like if you were offered to go to the Super Bowl like if I was offered for free or just play Green Garden with you i’ be like oh I’ll go green garden like I said we watched old reruns of the show Goliath which I have to start watching because you told me it’s a great show Billy Bob Thor bil Amazon Prime or can we please move on from this conversation just physically upsetting me uh you look like Joe right now listen do you realize again in our tangent spiral of the day we went to night golf in Saudi Arabia F1 nobody watches it football I didn’t watch you’re going to poison my wife and you need an invite to good good I didn’t say it was poisoning Stacey I think I said oh wow but and I found they said the the players found it sort of fun and interesting but they did have a hard time tracking like the big shots the long balls and the light and you can kind of see here you know the kind of like parking lot lights or whatever you know I don’t know what else you would do but like the balls got go higher than those like sometimes you know what I mean 100% like you know you’re smoking an eight iron and that thing’s like is just gone for like four or five seconds and then it just like reemerges back into you know viewable area I wonder if I played with their depth perception at all like better I I think it’s way better I have a opinion okay go on that does a watch CAD Shack I feel like that night golf should not be played for millions of dollars why because there’s so many factors that are in play you know you can’t see the ball but everybody can’t see the ball what about night baseball exactly it’s meant to be played at night what about Night Football me that’s why they call it Monday Night Football or Sunday Night Football that’s why they call about night bowling it’s indoors bowling is there isone they used to actually they back back in the early 2000s and the late ’90s they had a tournament in dumb ass he asked him about bowling you stupid ask about Pokemon the show’s gone stupid there was this tournament that was always held at uh Miller Park it’s not called that anymore it’s a where Milwaukee Brewers play and depending on the weather they they had the open and closed Dome uh they would do that outside they would set up I think think four lanes do that and then in Vegas I believe they had something but in Vegas you know how hot it is yes there was like it was like almost impossible because there’s no oil on the lane I saw this Instagram video where they took the two worst sports but then brought them together and it made it kind of funny and interesting and they were playing soccer with a bowling ball oh my God I was going to say soccer and bowling nice sorry Josh we love you though bowling is not the worst sport the world no no no no it’s you know what it it’s it’s like golf it gets better with age it does um so back to live golf there was an interesting moment in the uh in the rules they had a rules situation and Josh you found this one uh what was it Lee Westwood what was going on there uh so man in the second round after hitting his t- shot into a stream on the 16 hole so not water or water but it was like a stream where you could just know gra grab your ball uh his caddy retrieved a different makeing model of the ball that was in the water so he grabbed a completely different ball violates the model local rule requires players to use the same type of ball throughout the round and this only resulted in a one stroke penalty but he still scored a double bogey on the hole see that’s what’s crazy though like you should be able to find a ball on the course cuz like we do if you find a ball you could use it but I get it I understand but still what do you mean weed do we’re not playing PT rules I know but like I don’t know I like I I time you could play a shitty Top Flight if you wanted I love top flights I have three of them for you in my truck that I’ve been meaning to give you dude I don’t even play the regular top flights anymore I play the Top Flight like pro versions do you play the Top Flight xl2000 no Pro and Top Flight the X no that’s just that’s XL 2000s are I think the controls nice six do people who hit those balls have control I figured out my control I play loty sometimes uh so the caddy finds the ball he then Lee West would then played the ball like he hit it yeah it was so the the the violation wasn’t just from like grabbing I mean I I think there’s a lot so if there’s an air on the you know I feel like it’s number number one is the caddy but then number two it’s the player looking you you’re setting down your ball why am I hitting a pinnacle well here’s here’s what I’d like to know was it like the dude usually plays a prov1 and he Yanks a chrome soft out or was it like they plays the prov1x but this one he grabbed was like a left Dash and he didn’t notice but even still like these guys mark their ball and like every player on any tour marks their ball and they have the way they mark their ball or did they L try to get away with something but what good would it do because if you’re taking the ball out of the water you’re still taking the stroke penalty like let’s say he didn’t find the ball because then it’s a r so by finding where was the stream was the stream to the right or in front you’re asking the wrong person if if if the ball was on either side of the Fairway and he hits in the Stream and they find it then he gets to go back as far as you want in the point of entry with you know without a stroke of distance you just get a stroke but now if you don’t find the ball a Lun ball you have to go to the T So pulling a fast one there is huge so like that makes a big difference it does it does different um yeah so quite possibly he just found anything and goes thank God they looked at each other like it they’re like uh yeah I found a um what is it the L what is the um precept the precept the precept L like got us a LTI we in play and I’m surprised it was only one stroke yeah added on to the other stroke that was from the water so you got two so okay you know what I mean usually it’s two or three so you might as well see if you just do the right thing you just go back to the te but I don’t know I don’t know if they did that but my brain went there yeah it’s just it’s a weird mistake just knowing that every player marks their ball so aside from if it was like a Nuance difference you know we thought is a left Ash it’s not it’s like yeah but what about his markings on the ball and to me do we know how do you know how long like it took for them to figure out that he used the wrong ball like was it you know what we’re going to be honest um nobody watched this tournament yeah no one I’m just wondering like like is he throwing the ball is the ball getting thrown at him cuz he’s not looking at that ball I don’t know dude I just pulled a picture of him off the internet no I’m just saying though I’m just kind of you know so Gary’s over here critically analyzing every photo I put on the screen here not anything netive not even from the same day no I just found a picture I understand that but don’t take it like a a shot take it as me just critically analyzing oh I know that is that comment right there is going to be like we got to replay that comment like in the greatest wow you know none of us watched it you know uh I didn’t all right Josh I’m reading through run a show here you got something about a a golf question you got yourself let’s hear this bring it to the group here let’s the floor is open well first uh to give a little context I asked Dan this question yesterday asking him if this is a pod question for Gary okay because Gary’s got just knows everything about golf just so we know well out of the four of us I don’t remember at all what Josh was talking about so so we’re all sort of unpin know in professional play what happens if your ball marker is on another person’s line forcing them to roll over it well then you ask them they ask you which side you you want me to Market and then you have to look at a tree or something for the point of angle and then put down and then Mark it over and then when you go back and put your ball down you got to look at that tree again and then move it over to Club Lane or putter had whatever and but in the olden days you would have to hit over the dude’s ball and the Bobby Jones even made a lesson about that was like no I’m gonna get this ball and I gotta go over this and I a little clack out I don’t even know how he did the voice there were no ball markers back in the day the ball just stayed and you’re out you’re farther so it’s your turn to hit and literally Bobby Jones would just over the ball somehow and flip it up and make it they have like a little wedge or something and just hit like this little like just little hop and they have these shots down like where they could just hop the ball over the ball in front of it and then let it roll the was in black and white and he’s got his knickers on and like it was just amazing uh but yeah was he hitting with a putter or what what club was he using and I think it was clamity Jane the one I had seen the demonstration it was like a some sort of like a wedge or iron type club and the one I saw but I I I imagine there was if that was a part of golf there was a lot of players with different ways of accomplishing it but yeah Josh you know it’s obviously you mark your ball you move it you can request that Player move their marker okay and so you could be like hey do you want it you know to the left usually you would know you’d like it looks like I’m in your line which way do you want it is sort of the question and you be like uh go left or go right kind of depending on what you’re thinking and uh Bryson Des Shambo had this really interesting tip that I think is very useful for tournament play or anything that matters he said if ever he is moving his marker for somebody else he flips it over so it’s upside down I love that so when he comes back to play his ball he wouldn’t make the mistake of putting his ball now in this new spot setting up taking his putt because he would be penalized but the marker being upside down is his visual reminder like wait I’ve got to put this back before I screw myself because if you hit say you’re Putt and then you don’t ask the guy to move it you hit over it messes up your shot that’s not on you then right that’s on you okay okay so and and as like going deeper into it like when you’re playing with somebody and your ball is like in front of their ball somewhere and like if they’re like getting into their pre-shot routine don’t go do you want me to mark that because they have already answered you by getting into the pre-shot routine but like you said it’s on you but I use it as a point of reference like if I’m playing bean bags and you got two bags on the side of the hole that’s that tunnel so if you give me a ball over here and like not in my line but like it’s it might help you so I don’t know that’s just it gives you kind of like something to look at yeah I like it like I love when I always tell people like you you don’t have to mark that actually please don’t Mark that and then they do and I’m like thanks you screwed me yeah screwed me um I learned an interesting uh putt putting on the green tip that I never knew uh this weekend so I usually play scrambles you know scrambles were always puttting and whatever blah blah blah and we always watch the line whenever you put I did not know that it was a rule you’re not allowed to stand behind the other team while they put to pick up their re read if you’re closer or you have to walk into it you have to be standing over here and as soon as they put you walk into it and then you could see so like how far do you have to stand over or is it just a gentleman’s agreement or is it actually in the rules yeah like in the rules like if I’m playing a sanction event like and like I’m my my part playing partner that’s not on my team like say I’m tiger and Phil’s going to putt and he’s got to putt first I could stand like 510 feet to the side and as soon as he putts I Dart over and I look but if you stand directly behind him then you’re going to get penalized gotcha and do the when they’re on tour do they Dart over like that or tiger is known for that where soon as they take the putt he’ll just step right in and watch the line and gather more information from whatever the ball did so much and then when he hits past the hole or something he’ll run over to see the vantage point of the ball rolling out because that’s the next put he has so like why not you know take that into consideration uh speaking of tiger uh tiger unfortunately after the passing of his mother this week extremely unexpected um he has withdrawn from the Genesis Invitational the Tiger Woods hosted tournament um and it was kind of interesting because it was kind of late that he announced that he was going to be playing in it then of course tragedy um lost his mother and then he just came out um in the last day or so uh he put out this statement here um I plan to Tee It Up this week but I’m just not ready I did my best to prepare knowing it’s what my mom would have wanted but I’m still processing her loss thanks to everyone who has reached out I hope to be at Tor Pine uh at Tori later in the week and appreciate the the continued kindness since my mom’s passing um so yeah I mean that’s I it’s the unimaginable um and you know even obviously one of the greatest golfers of all time still understands when he’s at that place where he knows he can go out and do it or not and uh so to add to the unfortunate situation uh Tiger Woods won’t be competing uh but man that’s is he taking on his normal hosting role well that’s kind of what he said there that um he said I hope to be at Tor so I think he’s he’s not making any promises but he would still like to okay yeah I forgot they switched yeah because of the fires oh right it’s not at Riv the usual home location when you said Tori I just started thinking about other tournaments I understand um yeah so just sort of a continuation of that tough news from last week uh but Tory Pine’s coming up this weekend down in San Diego California moved from the Riviera Country Club in the Pacific Palisades which of course was devastated by the California wildfires and um they said even though the golf course remained untouched that it would be a pretty awkward and look that everywhere in the background of these t- shots and these guys playing for all this money is just like burnt to the ground ignorant to the fact like what’s going on with that like it well ever since um Tik Tock went away and relaunched I don’t know anymore it’s not in my feed so there’s no way of knowing it was just that for like a week yeah and then uh then it’s then it’s gone I don’t know what what happened to those drones over New Jersey I don’t know what’s going on my Tik tok’s different now I can’t keep up anymore uh Gary I got a question I got a question for Gary as far as tww goes do you you think that because he was a he was late in announcing he was going to go to Genesis because of physical reasons right do we think that I mean obviously this is taking an emotional toll on him for sure but do we think it’s also physical because he hasn’t been out hitting the balls that he’s used to and things like that so that’s why he’s also stepping out or I would think it’s a little bit of both I mean the guy’s got to be worn out I mean he’s just the amount of things he’s recover from is just crazy but like yeah but 100% I think he just needs time with his family and CU like the kids were so connected with the mom so I I you I think he’s doing it for a big part for them too because like you know I think it’s definitely a little bit of both but it’s it’s more emotional I feel on this part but he’s he’s I mean how this guy is just Trucking through all things with the fusion of the back the breaking of the like almost losing his leg and then all the other like 20 other things that you line up with that picture it’s just it’s incredible the guy has such mental grit he’s like the David goggin of golf and those are my two favorite people to look up to as tiger well besides my parents but like it’s just incredible are your parents taller than you too what you said you look up to him oh yeah CU you look up at him such a bad joke really really bad joke Jesus I’m done with this stupid I love you though that be the celebration gun not theing it out of violence you son of a h little dad jokes are fun uh I don’t know I think it’s all I got guys hey Dan oh how are we going to shoot the show next week with Josh going on a cruise the guy is the true MVP he’s an [ __ ] don’t get me wrong but the edits of this show are awesome bris but we’ll next week live up to the hype with you host and producing or are we going to have a Gary edit I can just imagine Gary making a full show episode edit like those viral gen Z videos you saw on Tik Tok a few months back hey Rich I’ve been meaning to ask you you know the dictator over to my left has not gotten me a bed I sleep on this table do you by chance have an extra mattress laying around I’m not asking for much I’m a small guy a kid’s mattress will do I just know I’m going to need my rest so I can bury this wannabe Gizmo impersonator and show my pure dominance in the Golf Scene uh you we just had a we we had a very unfortunate moment here um and

New to the show and enjoying the content. My only request is if you could normalize the db level of the guy in the red with the beard. Listening with earbuds in he's always bouncing off my ear drums in comparison to the rest of you guys. Otherwise keep up the great coverage. 👍
