00:00:13.794 --> 00:00:14.714
What is up?
00:00:14.714 --> 00:00:17.182
Everybody Dad is back.
00:00:17.182 --> 00:00:20.704
Holy crap, was that a shit show last week.
00:00:20.704 --> 00:00:22.044
I'm just kidding.
00:00:22.044 --> 00:00:30.303
Pats off to you, joseph, for stepping up and taking over the reins of the chariot while I was away.
00:00:30.303 --> 00:00:39.808
Special thanks to Chris Torres and Michael Rouschino for hopping on the show and keeping all things relative about Vegas and golf.
00:00:39.808 --> 00:00:42.268
So thanks to those guys very much.
00:00:43.601 --> 00:00:45.488
Yeah, that turned out pretty good, I think last week.
00:00:45.941 --> 00:00:47.246
Yeah, I enjoyed listening to it.
00:00:47.246 --> 00:00:49.566
It was fun getting those guys' takes on a few things.
00:00:49.566 --> 00:00:53.828
I've broken hearted that Mike didn't like Death Valley.
00:00:56.424 --> 00:00:57.908
Yeah, that's where your heart is.
00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:01.107
I mean it's just love the fucking heat.
00:01:01.107 --> 00:01:05.370
It's not an amazing golf course, but it's just such a unique experience.
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:10.811
But well, I mean you got to understand like his drives are probably going like 140 out there.
00:01:13.646 --> 00:01:14.849
He's been playing good lately.
00:01:15.340 --> 00:01:26.152
I know, but the elevation out there is negative, so yeah it doesn't affect it that much, it's just it's the wind above the trees and the the, the currents that you can't see.
00:01:26.152 --> 00:01:30.150
That's so freaking weird about that place, and the grass is just odd.
00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:33.287
But that's a tale for another day.
00:01:33.287 --> 00:01:45.510
We got there's a lot of shit and, hey, thanks to everybody that's live with us on YouTube right now, we'll have some things for those viewers that you actually get to see.
00:01:45.510 --> 00:01:54.945
Everybody else will have to wait until they know this gets pushed out on Wednesday on on YouTube.
00:01:54.945 --> 00:01:56.444
So we got some stuff coming up for that.
00:01:56.444 --> 00:02:00.022
But I got a whole plethora of shit to talk about tonight.
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.060
I was in Arizona, down in Tucson and in the Phoenix Valley.
00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:06.647
I got some things to talk about there.
00:02:06.647 --> 00:02:09.788
I visited New Level Golf and a place called Putting World.
00:02:09.788 --> 00:02:18.342
Wow, I had some golf this weekend and Jeremy and I just had a little discussion about what took place.
00:02:18.342 --> 00:02:23.409
The mayor was in full effect and we're talking about that.
00:02:23.409 --> 00:02:29.772
Joe just got back from a trip to Washington Chambers, gold Mountain, sage Cliffs.
00:02:29.772 --> 00:02:31.784
What was the white horse called White Ghost, or?
00:02:31.824 --> 00:02:33.229
something White Horse, white Horse.
00:02:35.481 --> 00:02:44.375
So him, dan and the vegan were up there this last weekend, and Jeremy Jeremy wasn't here.
00:02:44.375 --> 00:02:46.008
He was in San Diego with the fam.
00:02:46.008 --> 00:02:47.919
No golf for you, though, right.
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:49.463
No sticks traveled with me at all.
00:02:49.463 --> 00:02:52.049
So Wow, it's weird, isn't it?
00:02:52.049 --> 00:02:57.189
It is weird, I mean, we stayed at one of the places in Arizona.
00:02:57.189 --> 00:03:05.943
It was a resort with a course and I was like, no, it's just, do I go get a rental set and go for it or no?
00:03:05.943 --> 00:03:13.466
And then there's a ton of golf to talk about, because I wasn't here last week, jeremy wasn't here last week, so we didn't get to talk much about the open.
00:03:13.466 --> 00:03:16.106
The 3M just happened this past weekend.
00:03:16.106 --> 00:03:21.324
We got the Wyndham coming up, the playoffs are coming up, ryder Cup is coming up.
00:03:21.324 --> 00:03:26.330
We had a two day event out at Legacy that we didn't get to chat a bunch about.
00:03:26.330 --> 00:03:32.406
There's a practice round coming up at Alliantay with some of the guys from the VGN this weekend and the Rio Seco two man.
00:03:32.406 --> 00:03:34.866
So there is a lot to talk about.
00:03:34.866 --> 00:03:36.689
What spin?
00:03:36.689 --> 00:03:37.451
Spin the wheel?
00:03:37.451 --> 00:03:38.040
Where do you?
00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:38.723
Where do you want to start?
00:03:40.580 --> 00:03:41.161
First of all, when it?
00:03:41.161 --> 00:03:44.084
When is the Rio Seco two man the 13th?
00:03:44.084 --> 00:03:46.366
Two weeks, that's next weekend.
00:03:46.366 --> 00:03:47.348
Two weeks, okay.
00:03:47.467 --> 00:03:47.788
Two weeks.
00:03:47.788 --> 00:03:49.651
You got a baby shower on them.
00:03:50.131 --> 00:03:52.093
Yeah, and then we figured it out.
00:03:52.514 --> 00:03:53.836
Okay, well, we got to pay Trevor.
00:03:53.836 --> 00:03:56.247
So yeah, figure it out.
00:03:57.181 --> 00:04:00.169
And I was just gone for a few days playing 81 holes of golf.
00:04:00.169 --> 00:04:03.526
So hey, choices you know choices yeah.
00:04:04.187 --> 00:04:06.111
Everybody makes them, everybody makes them.
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.104
Well, I think, I think, I think, since you guys are so delayed on the situation, let's go back in time.
00:04:11.104 --> 00:04:21.069
I think we get your thoughts on the open real quick, we get your thoughts on the legacy tournament real quick, and then we we dive into what happened currently in this past weekend.
00:04:21.411 --> 00:04:26.230
Okay, so I watched absolutely none of the open, nothing.
00:04:26.230 --> 00:04:28.086
I I caught glimpses of it.
00:04:28.086 --> 00:04:34.216
I because I had to get up so early for the, the legacy thing.
00:04:34.216 --> 00:04:45.083
I caught a little bit of it in the morning as I was, you know, having my getting my coffee and my breakfast ready, but they were done by the time we were done through nine holes and it was a hundred and fucking 15.
00:04:45.083 --> 00:05:04.028
And we we were, you know, it was hot and I came home I took a cold shower and I just vanged out and and didn't do much and I really wasn't interested in why I have an issue watching delayed tape, delay golf or free play golf, especially if I know the outcome.
00:05:04.641 --> 00:05:13.389
Well, I mean, that's the thing is like if it was a tighter race, like if there was like a back and forth kind of situation going on you probably would have been more interested and I couldn't watch it.
00:05:13.389 --> 00:05:14.471
Harman took it away, you know.
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:26.548
So I talked to him and his waggling ass, for you know, getting that career, you know, achievement, it's, it's a lifetime achievement for him, big one, big one.
00:05:26.548 --> 00:05:40.103
I somebody was talking on threads about the four guys that won the majors this year and who most likely is going to do it again, and I said Rom, I don't think Brooks cares to if he wins or not, so it's not like a big thing for him.
00:05:40.103 --> 00:05:44.646
Brian Harman, I don't think he'll.
00:05:44.646 --> 00:05:47.572
He'll be lucky to sniff another top 10 on a regular event.
00:05:47.572 --> 00:05:52.382
You know, I mean, he's a good player and he's a good stick, been around for a while, but he had a career.
00:05:52.382 --> 00:05:58.833
Four days, you know, just played his ass off for four days and one beat everybody.
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:04.639
So wait, did you just say that you don't think Brooks cares if he wins, he like not a big deal.
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:13.747
I don't think he I don't think he cares enough to like work hard enough to get to the level where he is like, oh yeah, he's winning two, three more.
00:06:13.747 --> 00:06:16.064
He could, he, totally could.
00:06:16.064 --> 00:06:17.382
I think that's.
00:06:17.382 --> 00:06:17.744
I think he.
00:06:18.146 --> 00:06:18.728
I think he does.
00:06:18.728 --> 00:06:20.346
I think that's all he cares about.
00:06:20.346 --> 00:06:23.708
I mean, I think the lives, the live wins are major, wise yeah.
00:06:23.708 --> 00:06:24.348
Major wise.
00:06:24.348 --> 00:06:26.723
I think that's the only time he would.
00:06:26.723 --> 00:06:27.949
Prep is for majors.
00:06:27.949 --> 00:06:30.646
Like that, live stuff is just like it's just another.
00:06:30.646 --> 00:06:33.012
You know, get on the something on the schedule.
00:06:33.821 --> 00:06:39.110
The other stuff I to to retort that if he doesn't win he doesn't care.
00:06:39.110 --> 00:06:41.514
You can just see it in his face.
00:06:41.514 --> 00:06:45.007
If he doesn't play, well, whatever, whatever, it's nothing, I'm out here.
00:06:45.428 --> 00:06:47.312
So he's like a soul golfer, oh Jesus.
00:06:48.242 --> 00:06:50.149
I think maybe he's just how long.
00:06:50.149 --> 00:06:52.096
How long that takes Six minutes six minutes?
00:06:52.096 --> 00:06:52.959
I don't know.
00:06:54.122 --> 00:06:57.670
I think, brooks, that might just be the mindset he has.
00:06:57.670 --> 00:07:04.067
If he's not in contention and he just doesn't let it look like it bothers him, like some people, may you know, just drop you know.
00:07:04.067 --> 00:07:08.406
Further down, whatever, I think those are the only tournaments he cares about.
00:07:08.406 --> 00:07:09.810
Yeah.
00:07:11.223 --> 00:07:19.310
I think I think Brooks grinds as hard as he possibly can on majors, like even if he's back by 10, like he's going to grind as hard as he can, because that's what he wants.
00:07:19.310 --> 00:07:20.012
He wants to win.
00:07:20.012 --> 00:07:23.788
If it was the three M open and he was back by 10, he probably wouldn't give a shit.
00:07:24.709 --> 00:07:36.687
Yeah, I just I don't think not playing like real PGA tour golf for the season and just getting you know balls out ready for majors.
00:07:38.244 --> 00:07:45.870
Well, the dude did that and the PGA championship Like yeah, and he played well with the masters.
00:07:45.992 --> 00:07:46.353
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:46.353 --> 00:07:52.180
He played well with the masters and he won PGA and then didn't show up at the US Open, or the but.
00:07:52.201 --> 00:07:53.004
So he's won.
00:07:53.004 --> 00:07:54.168
He's won the US Open.
00:07:54.168 --> 00:07:55.786
He's won the PGA championship.
00:07:55.786 --> 00:07:58.387
He has he's come close at the masters.
00:07:58.387 --> 00:08:00.283
Has he come close at the Open?
00:08:01.045 --> 00:08:01.788
I don't know, I'd have to look.
00:08:02.939 --> 00:08:04.216
I think he's been like top 10, maybe a couple of times.
00:08:04.317 --> 00:08:05.644
Right it's that guy you want to get on there.
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.110
And maybe maybe that's just like his, his thing.
00:08:09.110 --> 00:08:15.603
Maybe maybe the weather affects him or but they had great weather for the Open and maybe it's just a different style of golf.
00:08:15.603 --> 00:08:25.173
But like US Open PGA championship, you can't count Brooks out like because, he's won both of them twice and it was back to back, right?
00:08:25.173 --> 00:08:26.985
Well, at least PGA was back to back.
00:08:27.447 --> 00:08:33.370
Yeah, he, he went back to back in each one, but not in consecutive years.
00:08:33.370 --> 00:08:33.850
Yeah.
00:08:34.753 --> 00:08:35.192
Yeah.
00:08:35.192 --> 00:08:39.470
And his record of the British is his top is the T four.
00:08:39.470 --> 00:08:43.928
He's had a couple of T six and then mostly either cut or outside top 10.
00:08:45.091 --> 00:08:46.562
Yeah, Maybe that's just like his.
00:08:46.562 --> 00:08:48.951
His style of golf doesn't fit it as well.
00:08:48.951 --> 00:08:55.524
But I mean, I know, I know he cares about winning that, because I guarantee you Brooks wants to win the Grand Slam.
00:08:55.524 --> 00:08:59.160
He wants a Grand Slam and I'm sure that's.
00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:02.349
That's probably all he preps for now is for the Grand Slam.
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.087
I just, I just don't think that's the right way to do it.
00:09:06.942 --> 00:09:08.628
No, no of course, of course not.
00:09:08.628 --> 00:09:17.605
I mean, he's probably pretty lazy if it's not major season and and, yeah, that's probably not the right way to do it, but that's what.
00:09:17.605 --> 00:09:18.649
That's what he does.
00:09:18.649 --> 00:09:25.684
I mean, no doubt that he goes down in the history books as like a back to back champion, like he's.
00:09:25.684 --> 00:09:30.884
He's cemented in a legacy and he just he's trying to oh he's got five majors yeah.
00:09:30.884 --> 00:09:31.024
Yeah.
00:09:31.024 --> 00:09:32.227
He's trying to see a little bit more.
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:35.745
He's trying to let that cement dry a little harder.
00:09:35.745 --> 00:09:40.408
So he wants masters, though he wants masters.
00:09:40.607 --> 00:09:41.610
Yeah, I know he wants the masters.
00:09:41.610 --> 00:09:48.259
I just, I just think that if he never wins another major, it's not going to bother him at all.
00:09:48.721 --> 00:09:49.221
No, I think.
00:09:49.221 --> 00:09:52.551
I think he feels like he's he's a fucking you know he's a dog.
00:09:52.551 --> 00:09:55.924
Like he's a hunter, he, you know he's.
00:09:55.924 --> 00:10:04.672
I feel like in his head he's good, like he knows that he shows up on majors and that's what he wants his legacy to be, you know.
00:10:06.101 --> 00:10:07.365
Welcome to the Brooks Kepke hour.
00:10:07.365 --> 00:10:09.844
Yeah, About.
00:10:09.844 --> 00:10:10.144
Brian.
00:10:10.164 --> 00:10:12.563
Harmon, though I I mean Brian Harmon's always.
00:10:12.563 --> 00:10:16.541
He's always up there in the leaderboard, it's just.
00:10:16.541 --> 00:10:19.365
It's just the week where he had four rounds.
00:10:19.626 --> 00:10:21.450
He's sneaky Every part of his game was there.
00:10:21.450 --> 00:10:22.371
He was sneaky yeah.
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:26.227
He was due for one, because I think he's played well for so long.
00:10:26.227 --> 00:10:26.929
He's always there.
00:10:26.929 --> 00:10:28.183
You've never think about him.
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.480
Hey, if you can putt well, and I mean and if you can hit fairways, you don't have to bomb it.
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:38.131
And you know, the the bombers have never like dominated the, the open series.
00:10:38.131 --> 00:10:41.966
It's guys that hit fairways, hit greens and can read putts.
00:10:41.966 --> 00:10:45.572
But I think it's funny.
00:10:45.572 --> 00:10:53.313
It shows you the the level of coolness, because I don't see anybody out there flippin 15-year-old.
00:10:53.313 --> 00:10:59.727
They're made airplane putters Like they were with the jailbirds.
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.519
You know nobody's nobody's rushing out and digging through old claws.
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:08.732
It's trying to find that stealth bomber that he puts with things massive, so huge.
00:11:09.061 --> 00:11:11.489
The size of his head cover must be just disturbing.
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.649
Oh, you guys lose your shit If you did all his background we would need a Xanax.
00:11:17.623 --> 00:11:19.068
We would need Xanax for that one.
00:11:21.299 --> 00:11:26.671
That's too funny, okay, so, uh, the VGN two day event out at legacy.
00:11:26.671 --> 00:11:36.644
My first question is and we've talked about this, so I know it, but I want to get your opinion for everybody that's listening how surprised were you?
00:11:37.386 --> 00:11:40.807
at legacy Very, very pleasantly surprised.
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:42.445
Yeah totally.
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:55.211
I mean they've the Revere company, uh, has had it for a month, um, and I've already seen improvements, already seen improvements, um better grass conditions, better greens.
00:11:55.211 --> 00:12:06.169
Uh, they know the bunkers are trash and it's going to be work in progress, but, uh, I mean they're going to be set up right for a a good overseas.
00:12:06.169 --> 00:12:09.067
And if they do it, I gotta find out.
00:12:09.067 --> 00:12:15.970
If they do it, I imagine that they're going to and uh, yeah, that's, that's going to be a great place to play golf again.
00:12:15.970 --> 00:12:26.807
And if you I don't know if you noticed this I I'm getting the emails in the, you know, for the VGN stuff, but they're sending out emails like crazy offering the, the resident rates.
00:12:26.807 --> 00:12:29.868
I mean you can play there at two o'clock for 35 bucks, yeah.
00:12:30.330 --> 00:12:35.788
Yeah, is okay, I mean, it's one of my favorite routings in town.
00:12:35.788 --> 00:12:45.788
Um, back in the back in the nineties it was just absolutely a legit golf course, gone through a lot of trouble, you know, in the last decade.
00:12:45.788 --> 00:12:56.895
And, uh, hopefully, hopefully that they, they can bring it back and get it just a smidge bit of its glory days, and I think we're we're going to be fortunate to have that in our neck of the woods.
00:12:57.658 --> 00:12:59.461
Yeah, I think it looked great and it was.
00:12:59.461 --> 00:13:05.684
It was as much as I hated to see like workers out there working on the course while we were playing.
00:13:05.684 --> 00:13:15.015
I appreciated it, um to to see, and actually you know they're they're putting work in which, which we were able to tell while we were playing.
00:13:15.015 --> 00:13:15.480
Yeah.
00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:27.607
Um, it looks, it looks a world world of difference, uh, from when we last played it, I think, maybe like in January, but uh, they're, they're, they're putting something into it which I appreciate.
00:13:27.607 --> 00:13:31.890
So, um, it's uh, yeah, I love legacy.
00:13:31.890 --> 00:13:32.783
Legacy is great.
00:13:32.844 --> 00:13:39.975
Routing it's a good deal for the most part usually, and um, Well, it hasn't been, but now it's back to a good deal, yeah.
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:40.400
I hope.
00:13:40.400 --> 00:13:49.179
I hope it gets back to where it was, um, because I like that place, I enjoy, I enjoy playing like see 100%, it's so good.
00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:50.477
Such a fun course to play.
00:13:51.424 --> 00:13:51.768
Steven.
00:13:51.788 --> 00:13:52.676
Steven Jackson is saying that.
00:13:52.676 --> 00:13:56.279
You know, he played in a grant event out there and he was like I'm never coming back to this.
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.635
And then he played and he was like dude, this is night and day.
00:13:59.655 --> 00:14:07.359
Night and day compared to what it was yeah, I mean, greens could have probably been cut a little bit and uh rolled, but um.
00:14:08.106 --> 00:14:09.080
I thought they were really good on Sunday.
00:14:10.188 --> 00:14:14.639
They were better on Sunday, for sure, but I think they could have used another roll or or another cut or something like that.
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:15.482
They were.
00:14:15.482 --> 00:14:18.576
They were so close to being really really, really good.
00:14:18.576 --> 00:14:19.399
Yeah, I mean, they were good.
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:29.452
They're better than we've seen in years, so, but, um, it's close and I love seeing them out there, but in the work, yeah, it was nice.
00:14:30.205 --> 00:14:33.105
Uh, I was, I was in contention, man I.
00:14:33.105 --> 00:14:35.840
I threw 14 holes on day two.
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:42.500
I was tied for the lead and I had a lip out putt on, uh, the part of five for par.
00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:45.539
I had a lip out putt on the par three for par.
00:14:45.539 --> 00:14:47.139
That was two strokes right there.
00:14:47.822 --> 00:14:54.840
And then I snap, hooked my drive on the 16th hole and, uh, then the strangest thing happened on 18.
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:56.320
I hit a great drive.
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.720
Um, I was 225 out and I'm like I gotta go for it.
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.663
You know, I gotta get something here, you know.
00:15:03.663 --> 00:15:09.846
And uh, I said I'm uh little suspect on the on the the five wood right now.
00:15:09.846 --> 00:15:14.919
And so I said, you know, I'm hitting the hybrid really good, let's just run this fucker up there and and right up that mouth.
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:27.910
And I hit it and it came out kind of low, lower than I was hoping, and Victor and I were watching it, and it went into the ground like near the edge of the lake and we never saw it again.
00:15:27.910 --> 00:15:34.698
It didn't, it didn't bounce, it didn't birds Didn't fly up, ducks, geese, nothing moot.
00:15:35.846 --> 00:15:43.114
It just disappeared into a vortex and uh, it was dissolved by the pink sprinkler water.
00:15:47.024 --> 00:15:50.359
Oh, I was so upset that you know that dropped me that taking that penalty.
00:15:50.359 --> 00:15:57.379
And so I uh, yeah, I played really well for uh, let's see what was that Seven, uh, 36 or 32 holes.
00:15:57.379 --> 00:16:05.120
I played really well for 31 holes and then the last, last four, I 32, and last four, I shit the bed.
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.918
So, uh, but congrats to our winners out there.
00:16:07.918 --> 00:16:13.120

00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:31.759
