Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Chasing Daylight podcast Got to show free this week.
00:00:20.463 --> 00:00:32.786
We're, uh, we're going to talk some golf, but I think, I think we're going to start it off with something else.
00:00:32.786 --> 00:00:39.973
Joe, that is right Reppin the VGK.
00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:44.703
This is now a hockey podcast.
00:00:45.124 --> 00:00:46.585
Welcome to the chasing hockey.
00:00:46.585 --> 00:00:48.969
Chasing pipes.
00:00:48.969 --> 00:00:54.165
Oh man, what a game, what a game, what a game.
00:00:54.165 --> 00:01:01.046
Congratulations to the Vegas golden Knights with a dominating victory Just less than an hour ago.
00:01:01.046 --> 00:01:04.493
I wait to shut them out.
00:01:04.493 --> 00:01:08.224
Oh my God, Just absolutely whoop their ass.
00:01:08.224 --> 00:01:09.989
Love seeing it.
00:01:09.989 --> 00:01:11.674
Uh, it was.
00:01:11.674 --> 00:01:19.135
it was nice to see those guys come out and play at the level that they are capable of capable of in a pressure game.
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:34.384
Um, i was a little nervous but uh, i think, uh, the announcers near the end hit the nail on the head when they said, kind of like with Michael block this last week, just in order to come back and win the game that they had won.
00:01:34.384 --> 00:01:45.822
It took everything and they were just wiped and we weren't back in the Stanley cup back in the Stanley cup Saturday baby five o'clock on his time.
00:01:45.822 --> 00:01:47.805
That is going to be.
00:01:47.825 --> 00:01:51.373
we did not touch the trophy this time, So no, that was.
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:52.621
We shall see.
00:01:52.621 --> 00:01:59.362
I think they were as far away from it as they could be and still be able to take the picture.
00:01:59.362 --> 00:02:01.090
Uh, so that was.
00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:01.933
That was fun to see.
00:02:01.933 --> 00:02:05.126
So how you guys doing, I know Joe, I know Joe, you're doing great.
00:02:05.126 --> 00:02:08.197
Uh, Jeremy, uh, Miami once night as well.
00:02:08.236 --> 00:02:11.305
So you know, I know Zane's happy, Zane is very happy.
00:02:11.967 --> 00:02:12.748
Was it a good game?
00:02:12.748 --> 00:02:15.062
I didn't watch a minute of it, i was preoccupied.
00:02:15.082 --> 00:02:15.824
Yeah, it was.
00:02:15.824 --> 00:02:22.752
uh, it's kind of nerve-wracking early on, but then they just pulled away and they ended up winning like by 20 or so.
00:02:22.752 --> 00:02:23.915
Oh wow.
00:02:23.915 --> 00:02:33.260
Dominating just like the Dallas arena, the Celtic stadium was empty, so those, those fans, clean out, boy They.
00:02:34.544 --> 00:02:43.605
When we won that, that first game there, the arena was gutted and uh, they showed after the end of the second period.
00:02:44.026 --> 00:02:51.048
I mean people leaving, like a lot and I was like, yeah, gotta get home, i shouldn't have came in there.
00:02:51.669 --> 00:02:56.849
I can't be seen in this green sweater, all right, so let's get into.
00:02:56.849 --> 00:03:02.649
Let's get into some golf, obviously, um, where you want to start, but you want to talk.
00:03:02.649 --> 00:03:04.156
You want to talk Michael block.
00:03:04.156 --> 00:03:11.201
You want to talk Harry, all you want to talk, uh, memorial, you want to talk where we played with what you, what you watch out your mind.
00:03:12.243 --> 00:03:13.366
Let's start with where we played.
00:03:14.329 --> 00:03:14.530
Okay.
00:03:14.530 --> 00:03:33.551
So, uh, first up was, i think, first round of the week was me out at Lexington played with the weatherman who did not file his report with us this week, so um, let me do the weather real quick.
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:36.604
It's going to be sunny, it's going to be warm.
00:03:36.604 --> 00:03:41.520
Okay, that's the weather for this week, all right?
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:50.341
Um, so played with Matt and his brother and uh, favs joined us out there Um, lexington it was.
00:03:50.341 --> 00:03:52.008
I told you guys the week before I played.
00:03:52.008 --> 00:04:02.122
The greens were gone, they were furry and bumpy and Poana everywhere And it's like that was a dream, because they were back to really good conditions.
00:04:03.284 --> 00:04:04.687
It surprised me, wasn't expecting it.
00:04:04.687 --> 00:04:10.508
Uh, they were rolling pretty pretty good not as fast as national, but uh pretty good.
00:04:10.508 --> 00:04:12.921
And uh had ourselves a damn good day.
00:04:12.921 --> 00:04:25.634
I mean, it was, i think, 68 when I left my house um Friday morning, wild, uh, early morning, uh round, but uh, man, gotta get out, gotta get out to Lex people.
00:04:25.634 --> 00:04:26.742
It's a great golf course.
00:04:26.742 --> 00:04:37.865
You know it's not a top 10 Vegas destination course, but if you're looking to play a golf course that's in pretty damn good shape and very challenging, you can't go wrong with Lexi.
00:04:37.865 --> 00:04:40.672
Go wrong with Lexi.
00:04:40.672 --> 00:04:49.872
Oh, and then, um see, then we teed it up Saturday morning at national that we didn't was supposed to be all the creek.
00:04:51.281 --> 00:04:52.021
Yeah, little.
00:04:52.021 --> 00:04:53.682
Uh, let's see where.
00:04:53.682 --> 00:05:02.312
Where there it is.
00:05:02.312 --> 00:05:09.850
Joe was prepping all Friday evening to to, or Friday afternoon uh for Boulder Creek.
00:05:09.850 --> 00:05:12.134
Uh, doing his his round prep.
00:05:12.134 --> 00:05:20.052
Yeah, and all my yardages dialed clubs and and Tray sends a message, uh to the group chat.
00:05:20.052 --> 00:05:22.062
Oops, i did it again.
00:05:24.327 --> 00:05:25.872
And we all knew exactly what that meant.
00:05:26.052 --> 00:05:30.161
Yeah, Uh yeah, I forgot to book the tea time.
00:05:30.161 --> 00:05:53.081
Yeah, and luckily it happens, a group of 20 canceled a national like hours before that, and so we grabbed the spot, swooped in and snatched a primo time at national, which I still I've been saying this on Instagram and I 100% think it's accurate right now.
00:05:53.081 --> 00:05:54.326
It's the best value in town.
00:05:54.326 --> 00:05:56.374
right now There's no.
00:05:56.374 --> 00:06:00.927
yeah, the courses in phenomenal shape, um bunkers are outstanding.
00:06:00.927 --> 00:06:04.235
The greens were, i mean, near perfect.
00:06:05.398 --> 00:06:11.463
Yep, yeah, yeah, i've probably seen them out there in a long time, definitely, typically, it's a little furry out there, but uh, they were.
00:06:11.463 --> 00:06:11.944
They were good.
00:06:12.706 --> 00:06:13.588
They were really good.
00:06:13.588 --> 00:06:32.641
Um, you know, aside from your ditch transient, um, yeah, it's a day it's, and the hot dogs are still good and uh, yeah, of course, in the gray shape Now, we we did have a couple situations with some people in front of us.
00:06:32.641 --> 00:06:40.783
Um, one it's, it's amazing the, the new golfers and you and you could spot them almost a mile away.
00:06:40.783 --> 00:06:43.451
Um, that that are out.
00:06:43.451 --> 00:06:43.971
there We were.
00:06:43.971 --> 00:07:13.273
we were getting ready to tee off on the 10th hole and some of us had gone and Joe was getting ready to go, and the cart path, if you're looking down the course on number 10, runs along the left side and then in front of the T box that cuts across and goes between the putting green and the T box and our carts are there and there's really no room for another cart to go by, let alone one coming the wrong direction, let alone one coming as Joe hit his ball.
00:07:14.802 --> 00:07:16.384
Yeah, luckily we had a good one.
00:07:16.947 --> 00:07:21.322
Yeah, uh, that would have been a stinger, a mishit, um it.
00:07:21.322 --> 00:07:26.196
The medics would have been needed to be to being called Uh.
00:07:26.196 --> 00:07:34.682
And then the person proceeded to drive down and we were watching this and Jeremy said this is happening in slow motion.
00:07:34.682 --> 00:07:42.988
They drove up, realized they couldn't get around, so they drove up almost onto the putting green to go around us.
00:07:42.988 --> 00:07:49.425
The carts are scraping and and this it was bad, he didn't make eye contact.
00:07:49.505 --> 00:07:57.088
I contacted us at all, it was just no cause I was just staring, i was just like what are you doing, bro?
00:07:57.088 --> 00:08:01.297
Yeah, oh so.
00:08:01.297 --> 00:08:10.185
And then the the group in front and you know I'm fine with people that are new to the game and the learning and you know, right now national is a good deal.
00:08:11.088 --> 00:08:19.541
Um man, they were bad, i mean the group in front of us played pretty quick, though They kept the pace, so shout out to them.
00:08:19.541 --> 00:08:22.310
I mean, for the most part, we only ran into them a couple of times.
00:08:23.721 --> 00:08:24.403
Well, we wait.
00:08:24.403 --> 00:08:31.562
We played the front in like an hour 45 and we played the back in two and a half.
00:08:31.562 --> 00:08:48.001
Um, so it got slow, it got bottled up cause we were flying on the front, we were just, we were moving, and then as soon as we got to the back, i mean we stopped, got a hot dog, got a drink for the bathroom and we're still waiting to tee off, um, so something happened.
00:08:48.001 --> 00:08:53.320
Something happened, but yeah, there was some little bit of slow play issue out there.
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:57.708
Yeah, um, i did a good.
00:08:57.769 --> 00:08:58.490
Where are you going?
00:08:58.490 --> 00:08:59.231
Where are you going with this?
00:09:00.140 --> 00:09:07.345
I was just going to give Trey a little love for uh winning the, uh, the big balls match play tournament shot out Trey.
00:09:07.345 --> 00:09:10.932
Yeah, vgn representing on the Sunday scans game.
00:09:10.932 --> 00:09:13.482
uh little little W for that.
00:09:13.482 --> 00:09:15.246
So congrats to Trey for that.
00:09:15.246 --> 00:09:23.951
He played national three times this week and it's funny because he hated that, golf course.
00:09:23.951 --> 00:09:29.269
He did, yeah, he played it because I know I invited him a couple of times and he's like no, i hate that place.
00:09:29.921 --> 00:09:30.842
Yeah, no, i like sit.
00:09:31.144 --> 00:09:31.865
He likes it.
00:09:31.865 --> 00:09:32.746
Now It's.
00:09:32.746 --> 00:09:33.388
It's funny.
00:09:33.388 --> 00:09:37.023
They hear, hear and say this is a really good golf course.
00:09:37.023 --> 00:09:40.613
Yeah, we told you that Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:40.613 --> 00:09:43.562
Where were you going to go, joe?
00:09:43.562 --> 00:09:44.283
Where were you going to go?
00:09:44.544 --> 00:09:47.725
I was just going to mention Chimera, because I finally got out to play with Chris.
00:09:47.725 --> 00:09:50.596
Torres and Daniel Hodges.
00:09:50.596 --> 00:10:02.264
Uh, you might have heard of him from uh VGN fame Um, but we played early on uh, we played early on Thursday and those greens are shit out there right now.
00:10:02.264 --> 00:10:03.849
They're pretty fucking rough.
00:10:03.849 --> 00:10:11.812
Uh-oh, It's like they painted the dirt spots green and it's it's bad.
00:10:12.697 --> 00:10:14.341
Are they pulling water out of Lake Las Vegas?
00:10:14.341 --> 00:10:17.389
Maybe the wetlands park?
00:10:17.809 --> 00:10:21.339
Yeah, but I mean it was fun.
00:10:21.339 --> 00:10:22.442
It was a fun early round.
00:10:22.442 --> 00:10:24.131
We got it done really quick, which was nice.
00:10:24.131 --> 00:10:26.663
but the greens are not good right now at Chimera.
00:10:26.802 --> 00:10:29.230
So is that why you didn't post your score?
00:10:31.256 --> 00:10:33.142
I didn't post my score from Saturday either.
00:10:33.142 --> 00:10:34.625
I know Yeah.
00:10:35.027 --> 00:10:37.272
Or see another week or tournament scores tournament scores.
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:38.400
Tournament score.
00:10:38.421 --> 00:10:40.725
Tournament player, because they're done for me.
00:10:43.071 --> 00:10:44.472
Post your goddamn scores.
00:10:44.472 --> 00:10:49.600
Your handicap is going down because you've fed three rounds in the seventies, So no, i didn't shoot.
00:10:49.741 --> 00:10:52.508
I didn't shoot in the seventies, this past weekend.
00:10:52.849 --> 00:10:53.429
At National.
00:10:53.429 --> 00:10:53.770
You did.
00:10:53.770 --> 00:10:56.806
No, i don't, i had you down for like a 77 or 78.
00:10:57.047 --> 00:10:59.581
See, i didn't even keep score, i just kept it in my head.
00:10:59.581 --> 00:11:00.923
Oh, yeah, i think I shot an 80.
00:11:00.923 --> 00:11:02.006
Yeah, i kept score.
00:11:02.006 --> 00:11:03.328
I shot 10 over.
00:11:03.328 --> 00:11:09.393
I think I do better than that.
00:11:09.432 --> 00:11:10.054
Well, i think you.
00:11:10.375 --> 00:11:12.961
I think you gave me a par when it was actually a double bogey.
00:11:12.981 --> 00:11:16.227
So well, i'm cool like that.
00:11:16.227 --> 00:11:17.931
Oh thanks.
00:11:17.931 --> 00:11:25.287
Hey, you're in the same division as me, you know I got to keep.
00:11:25.287 --> 00:11:27.270
I got the handicap chair sitting.
00:11:27.270 --> 00:11:33.160
You know in here too, so you know you may be getting some emails saying some players are not updating their scores.
00:11:33.682 --> 00:11:35.326
Yeah, Yeah, it might happen.
00:11:35.326 --> 00:11:42.565
Right, It might only get 75 or 50% of my score, other than 75%.
00:11:43.668 --> 00:11:49.190
Yeah, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to put a violation in there and you'll only get 75% of your handicap during tournament play.
00:11:50.916 --> 00:11:53.664
You can just like sit me at a six, and that's what I am.
00:11:53.664 --> 00:11:55.772
I'm a six, i can't do that.
00:11:55.772 --> 00:11:58.360
Well, that's what my again is.
00:12:00.264 --> 00:12:04.232
Yeah, when you don't post your score that's what it is Everything is over.
00:12:04.293 --> 00:12:06.426
I haven't shot under 78 forever.
00:12:07.087 --> 00:12:08.511
Oh, what'd you shoot at Seattle last week?
00:12:09.654 --> 00:12:13.586
No, you were better than that No six over.
00:12:13.666 --> 00:12:14.769
Well, that's a 78.
00:12:15.831 --> 00:12:17.436
So six over six shots.
00:12:17.697 --> 00:12:26.260
I'm a six, so post your 78 and watch your handicap go down to a five 78 probably would make it go up a little.
00:12:27.302 --> 00:12:31.812
Yeah, no, yeah, from those teeth, from the golds, yeah, because I was up.
00:12:31.932 --> 00:12:32.903
I wasn't from the back.
00:12:32.903 --> 00:12:36.091
It's lower than the score.
00:12:36.091 --> 00:12:37.557
Oh well for that.
00:12:37.998 --> 00:12:42.373
The only way to know Post your score.
00:12:42.373 --> 00:12:44.393
Post your score, Joe.
00:12:44.950 --> 00:12:46.222
I don't even know if I have the app anymore.
00:12:46.222 --> 00:12:48.424
honestly, I don't need this anymore.
00:12:49.940 --> 00:12:50.424
It doesn't matter.
00:12:51.448 --> 00:12:52.312
It doesn't matter.
00:12:52.846 --> 00:12:58.445
It does matter when you're playing for money in a flighted division of the Vegas Gulf Network.
00:12:58.826 --> 00:13:06.152
Now, if I was a six and actually a four, then, yeah, i can understand it, but I'm not, i'm not, i'm a six.
00:13:07.899 --> 00:13:10.272
And last year you were, i'm a four.
00:13:11.489 --> 00:13:13.434
Yeah, and I wasn't really a four.
00:13:13.434 --> 00:13:16.263
I was a six.
00:13:16.263 --> 00:13:21.494
Yeah, i shot one round under par and it fucked me for a year and a half.
00:13:22.706 --> 00:13:23.148
It does that.
00:13:25.657 --> 00:13:26.323
And it was at Canara.
00:13:26.866 --> 00:13:32.551
Well, it would have gone, it would have been eradicated sooner had you post scores, that's true, but now it's eradicated and I'm a six.
00:13:37.239 --> 00:13:37.802
I'm a six.
00:13:38.725 --> 00:13:39.788
So I played 20 players on his 20 played.
00:13:39.788 --> 00:13:40.451
I think that's why.
00:13:40.451 --> 00:13:46.364
I think that's why round since then.
00:13:46.465 --> 00:13:47.389
He probably has a band in there.
00:13:50.283 --> 00:13:53.854
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's why that's going to North Carolina trip.
00:13:55.273 --> 00:13:56.344
You don't want to see him go away.
00:13:56.866 --> 00:14:00.445
People look up his gin and it's like this guy plays, this guy, this guy's player.
00:14:00.445 --> 00:14:08.937
So, jeremy, you got a round in today, yeah, but I mean, because I can't afford it, i'd have to take like a second mortgage out on my home.
00:14:08.937 --> 00:14:16.552
But yeah, damn, if there's a place that I could play and money wasn't an object, that would be high on the list, i think.
00:14:17.725 --> 00:14:27.317
But I also could see myself getting tired of some of those t shots because they're just a little stressful, especially when you're not getting the driver how you want to.
00:14:27.317 --> 00:14:29.734
But a lot of stressful t shots out there.
00:14:29.904 --> 00:14:32.192
Yeah, so who's out there with you, dan and Dan.
00:14:33.086 --> 00:14:33.749
Julian and Bob.
00:14:34.129 --> 00:14:36.307
Yeah, nice Did you made it out there.
00:14:36.388 --> 00:14:37.269
Yeah, he played.
00:14:38.152 --> 00:14:39.294
We all play pretty good, did you hear?
00:14:39.355 --> 00:14:40.496
his club.
00:14:40.496 --> 00:14:42.086
Yeah, he can Some of those holes.
00:14:42.086 --> 00:14:44.735
Just the lines that the cat he was giving him was just like.
00:14:44.735 --> 00:14:47.293
I'm not even going to listen to that because that's.
00:14:47.293 --> 00:14:49.684
I don't even see that line.
00:14:49.684 --> 00:14:51.071
Did you guys have Casey as?
00:14:51.071 --> 00:15:00.590
the No so Dan did reach out to Casey, and I think he's was going to be there, but when we got there it was someone else though, which is too bad, but he was cool.
00:15:00.590 --> 00:15:02.070
Guy was, i think, chris.
00:15:02.070 --> 00:15:04.778
I think pretty sure we've had him before.
00:15:04.927 --> 00:15:08.477
He was cool though, but he's like That was, how was the course?
00:15:08.697 --> 00:15:09.058
Good shape.
00:15:09.058 --> 00:15:10.451
Course was really good.
00:15:10.451 --> 00:15:11.893
Greens were quick.
00:15:11.893 --> 00:15:15.980
Of course, above the hole was treacherous, Yes, Dead.
00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:17.113
First hole I think.
00:15:17.113 --> 00:15:18.644
I hit this amazing putt.
00:15:18.644 --> 00:15:28.325
There was just you know, three or four feet of break, tapped it and it just kept going And it was like 15 feet past the hole and it was just trickling.
00:15:28.325 --> 00:15:32.035
It wasn't like rolling that far, It was just wouldn't stop trickling.
00:15:32.035 --> 00:15:34.196
Then I made my comebacker.
00:15:34.196 --> 00:15:35.284
But we all had that.
00:15:35.284 --> 00:15:36.604
Bob had that several times.
00:15:36.604 --> 00:15:51.495
It was just the putting is what gets you there, Absolutely, Because there and luckily, the caddies you know they're really good about reading for you And because some of the breaks you know I would probably say it's half of what it really is.
00:15:51.495 --> 00:15:57.650
Well, yeah, Yeah, of course it was really good, though There's some dry spots.
00:15:57.650 --> 00:16:01.927
But I kind of knew that going in because I've been following Casey a little bit.
00:16:01.927 --> 00:16:05.107
He's been posting a lot And I guess they've had a.
00:16:05.107 --> 00:16:11.774
Someone came in, I think, and me bought the course, a new management company or something, So I don't know.
00:16:11.815 --> 00:16:12.176
Really.
00:16:12.784 --> 00:16:21.904
Yeah, supposedly they're going to put some money in and just to kind of tighten it up a little bit, but it's I mean, it's already the same as it always is.
00:16:21.904 --> 00:16:24.924
So it's just a fun place to go.
00:16:24.924 --> 00:16:26.452
It's you get treated really well.
00:16:26.452 --> 00:16:28.312
The practice facilities incredible.
00:16:28.312 --> 00:16:42.778
I wish I could go there and practice The chipping green there is just so good that the lies around the green are just incredible, so I would love to get up there more, but it's just expensive, yeah.
00:16:44.445 --> 00:16:50.965
I heard also, dragon Ridge is closed right now and they're redoing their greens Just like you know, that no reflection.
00:16:50.965 --> 00:16:56.418
Well, i mean, you know I'm not in the Dragon Ridge news loop.
00:16:57.285 --> 00:16:59.110
Yeah, dragon Ridge closed and they.
00:16:59.152 --> 00:17:00.095
They're close like August.
00:17:00.365 --> 00:17:02.413
Yeah, and they don't have anywhere for their members to play.
00:17:03.144 --> 00:17:06.611
No, like someone did, yeah, nowhere for them to go.
00:17:09.025 --> 00:17:15.984
Trey last last week also played Anthem after their renovation And he said it was fantastic.
00:17:15.984 --> 00:17:30.944
So it's nice to, because they they went under a huge water reevaluation, got rid of a lot of grass, changed some grass to more durable and water friendly grass, and he said it was in fantastic shape.
00:17:30.944 --> 00:17:35.444
It's weird that Sienna took out desert and added grass.
00:17:35.444 --> 00:17:36.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:38.964
That was so strange.
00:17:40.590 --> 00:17:43.181
That was supposed to be a secret, but you know out there now?
00:17:43.201 --> 00:17:44.265
they don't know where it's added.
00:17:44.265 --> 00:17:45.549
They don't know where it's added.
00:17:46.404 --> 00:17:50.133
I've been charging people for insider information at Sienna.
00:17:51.095 --> 00:17:56.976
Yeah, yeah, so a couple of holes can play very differently out there.
