So, hey, we got a great episode tonight.
00:00:31.202 --> 00:00:33.948
There's a lot of shit going on in the golf world.
00:00:33.948 --> 00:00:41.542
The golf ball rollback is taken front and stage center, along with John Rom leaving Tony Finao staying tiger and Charlie.
00:00:41.542 --> 00:00:46.072
Part two is happening this week down in the PNC champion.
00:00:46.072 --> 00:00:46.633
Is it in Florida?
00:00:47.220 --> 00:00:49.005
Yeah, it's in Orlando, orlando.
00:00:49.665 --> 00:00:50.508
So that's going on.
00:00:50.508 --> 00:01:02.685
Freddie was talking trash again about live, which I thought was hilarious, and we've got a special guest, doc Rodin, dave Rodin, live from the new level, true links where headquarters?
00:01:02.685 --> 00:01:03.848

Welcome to the show sir, thank you?
00:01:07.941 --> 00:01:09.462
How are you doing?
00:01:09.462 --> 00:01:12.057
Doing all right Even better?
00:01:12.307 --> 00:01:14.700
Doc's going to hang out with us tonight.
00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:15.442
Chalo golf.
00:01:15.442 --> 00:01:20.061
He's a great insider when it comes to the industry, Of course.
00:01:20.061 --> 00:01:25.171
He's, you know, works at new level and is one of the builders fitters out there.
00:01:25.171 --> 00:01:43.804
So if anybody that's, you know, on YouTube right now hanging with us, if you have any questions about new level, about club fitting, about club building in general, anything like that, lob them out there and Joe and I will get them over to him and he can answer your questions Absolutely.
00:01:44.325 --> 00:01:50.444
He loves talking about how good he is at building golf clubs, because he's really good at building Master, mastermind.
00:01:50.444 --> 00:01:53.552
I get lucky every once in a while.
00:01:53.552 --> 00:01:58.248
All right, so wrong have you ever had any feral spin.
00:01:59.031 --> 00:02:03.021
You ever got any spinning feral, not in a long time.
00:02:03.021 --> 00:02:08.094
It's new technology, it has happened right, it has right.
00:02:08.094 --> 00:02:09.016
It has.
00:02:09.538 --> 00:02:12.846
I'm not the only person that has ever built a set of iron, for the feral came loose.
00:02:15.371 --> 00:02:16.453
No, thank you.
00:02:18.062 --> 00:02:21.127
I just thought it was new technology man.
00:02:21.868 --> 00:02:22.188
We did.
00:02:22.188 --> 00:02:31.681
We did have a guy one time come in at another place that I worked at that had that new SFT technology the summer feral technology.
00:02:31.681 --> 00:02:35.587
Oh yeah, the feral was four sizes too big for the golf club.
00:02:35.587 --> 00:02:36.248
Those were awesome.
00:02:42.687 --> 00:02:45.831
Wow, they didn't participate in the Mitchell turning feral class apparently.
00:02:46.032 --> 00:02:46.353
Evidently.
00:02:48.623 --> 00:02:49.365
Evidently, hey.
00:02:49.365 --> 00:02:52.513
Did you guys see those ones I posted today for Steve and Jackson's irons?
00:02:54.605 --> 00:02:55.709
I did not yeah the metal ones.
00:02:55.889 --> 00:02:59.680
They're like a lightweight brushed aluminum that are milled.
00:03:01.103 --> 00:03:01.504
Are they?
00:03:01.966 --> 00:03:02.747
Maybe an afterno.
00:03:03.348 --> 00:03:05.915
No, no, no, they're from overseas.
00:03:06.396 --> 00:03:07.699
They look like they're made by swag.
00:03:08.802 --> 00:03:11.950
Well, that's why he got them, because they you know, he's Mr Swag.
00:03:11.950 --> 00:03:15.882
So yeah, wow, super crazy light.
00:03:15.882 --> 00:03:16.705
I mean they're probably.
00:03:16.705 --> 00:03:18.955
I didn't weigh one, but it's got to be maybe a gram.
00:03:18.955 --> 00:03:23.350
It's so fucking light, but it looks like machine metal.
00:03:23.350 --> 00:03:24.876
It's, it's, it's really.
00:03:24.876 --> 00:03:30.070
They came out pretty good, so I'm building that up for them tomorrow Hopefully they don't spin.
00:03:30.070 --> 00:03:40.701
Well, they've got what looks like threads on the inside of them, so yeah, I'll be applying plenty of proxy on those to make sure they don't.
00:03:41.485 --> 00:03:42.127
They'll stay put.
00:03:42.508 --> 00:03:43.852
Yeah, so all right.
00:03:43.852 --> 00:03:45.295
John Rom Bailed.
00:03:45.295 --> 00:03:46.920
Everybody kind of saw it coming.
00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:49.247
I don't think any of us said no, he's not going.
00:03:49.247 --> 00:03:56.308
Last week and then so I put out there on our IG page who do you think's going next?
00:03:56.308 --> 00:04:02.186
And surprisingly enough, a lot of the people said it was going to be Tony Fina.
00:04:02.186 --> 00:04:12.707
Everybody thinks Patrick Cantley is gone, and and is it him that he's buddies with Fina or was it Xander, xander, xander, that's Xander.
00:04:12.707 --> 00:04:17.555
Yeah, but Tony, I'm not going.
00:04:17.555 --> 00:04:20.990
Hashtag announced that.
00:04:20.990 --> 00:04:22.553
Was that this morning or yesterday?
00:04:22.894 --> 00:04:23.136
I can't.
00:04:23.156 --> 00:04:25.081
Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yeah.
00:04:25.442 --> 00:04:30.093
So don't big big tone Sticking around on the PGA tour.
00:04:30.093 --> 00:04:30.675
That's.
00:04:30.675 --> 00:04:32.661
That's a positive for the PGA tour.
00:04:32.661 --> 00:04:35.569
Haven't had a lot of positives in the news of late.
00:04:38.435 --> 00:04:43.992
I wouldn't be surprised still, though, because those Rom and Fina are good buddies and they play silver leaf all the time.
00:04:43.992 --> 00:04:54.202
And I would not be surprised because John Rom said he wasn't leaving either, and X number of months later, here we are, I think.
00:04:54.242 --> 00:04:55.125
I do, john Rom.
00:04:55.125 --> 00:04:57.894
John Rom didn't post with the hashtag.
00:04:57.913 --> 00:04:59.680
I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving.
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.012
Yeah, but he was pretty strong with his opinions in the interviews.
00:05:03.012 --> 00:05:05.081
But that was a year or two years ago.
00:05:05.382 --> 00:05:05.661
Yeah.
00:05:06.324 --> 00:05:08.910
But you know it's all good and you go.
00:05:08.949 --> 00:05:12.057
there's a lot of you and Maui Totally.
00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:17.250
Yeah, I think John Rom knows something that can't be explained.
00:05:17.250 --> 00:05:18.192
Yeah, maybe, yeah.
00:05:18.372 --> 00:05:19.480
I think that one is.
00:05:20.142 --> 00:05:22.449
I think the changes are going to be the 72 holes.
00:05:22.449 --> 00:05:27.826
They're going to do something where they're going to get some road golf ranking.
00:05:27.826 --> 00:05:29.875
I don't think he's just going to write.
00:05:29.875 --> 00:05:35.346
He's one of those guys that's just going to be like dude, if you're going to pay me this much and you want me to play over there, this is what's got to happen.
00:05:35.346 --> 00:05:39.461
So I think there will be some changes that just haven't happened yet.
00:05:41.242 --> 00:05:50.829
But it, I don't know the whole, their whole premise of why they're better is because it's 54 holes, because it's three days, because it's a.
00:05:50.829 --> 00:05:53.411
You know it's different.
00:05:53.411 --> 00:06:00.038
And if they just, if it's just another golf tour, what, besides the money that's there's?
00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:03.062
well, they got a qualifier now, right, didn't?
00:06:03.062 --> 00:06:13.173
Didn't you see some of the PGA tour players, or cornfairy players, go to play in the qualifier and then they got reprimanded for going into the qualifier?
00:06:13.173 --> 00:06:13.793
Did you see that?
00:06:14.834 --> 00:06:23.165
I don't recall that, yeah, like yeah, it was the other day and they thought it was okay because it was merged or whatever.
00:06:23.165 --> 00:06:26.548
And they got like rep reprimanded for going to play in the qualifier.
00:06:26.548 --> 00:06:31.413
Merged, well, I know, but that's what they thought.
00:06:31.413 --> 00:06:38.021
But the but, the, the, the thing from the tour since the June 6 thing is that we are merging.
00:06:38.021 --> 00:06:40.644
So it all comes back to that.
00:06:40.644 --> 00:06:44.309
Yeah, you know, zero clarification, totally.
00:06:44.309 --> 00:06:46.009
There's nothing since then.
00:06:46.009 --> 00:06:52.601
So these people are thinking that we're merging, we're like one, we're one entity kind of or that's the problem.
00:06:52.641 --> 00:07:00.064
They were thinking it's company be whatever they're going to call it, and yeah yeah, call your player rep and go.
00:07:00.163 --> 00:07:00.964
Can I play in this?
00:07:00.964 --> 00:07:02.107
No, okay.
00:07:03.588 --> 00:07:06.052
Well, I think I think these players probably need to follow.
00:07:06.052 --> 00:07:07.053
What is that Monday queue?
00:07:07.053 --> 00:07:08.596
Info at Monday queue.
00:07:08.596 --> 00:07:13.259
They need to just follow him because he's got the inside information, obviously, yeah.
00:07:18.725 --> 00:07:28.456
I mean, I've heard a couple people saying lives not going anywhere, the the money is sustainable for them, they don't care.
00:07:28.456 --> 00:07:28.956
I just don't know.
00:07:28.956 --> 00:07:29.437
I don't, I don't get it.
00:07:29.437 --> 00:07:30.338
Doc, you can answer this, because I've asked.
00:07:30.338 --> 00:07:31.279
I've said this a couple times on the show.
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.543
Okay, why do you care about OWG rankings?
00:07:33.543 --> 00:07:40.951
If you, if live is so much better and it's a better way of life and it's better money and it's better everything, why do you care about the OWG are?
00:07:40.951 --> 00:07:57.509
And if it's just to get into majors, then that's the choice you made.
00:07:57.509 --> 00:07:59.812
It's live is so much better.
00:07:59.812 --> 00:08:00.673
Who cares?
00:08:00.692 --> 00:08:01.653
Yeah, why do you?
00:08:01.913 --> 00:08:02.154
care.
00:08:03.076 --> 00:08:04.576
I would agree with you to a point on that.
00:08:04.576 --> 00:08:07.279
I think majors are a big part of it for a lot of those guys.
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:18.134
I think for years now we've kind of decided what is great and what is not great by the amount of majors that they've won right.
00:08:18.134 --> 00:08:23.240
The conversation every time we talk about Tiger versus Jack is Jack's got more majors right Every single time.
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:29.826
So I think there's a lot of those guys that want to leave their mark on the game.
00:08:29.826 --> 00:08:37.573
As far as being a great and regular tour events aren't the thing that separates those people from the greats right.
00:08:37.573 --> 00:08:42.197
So getting into majors, winning majors, I think, is a big part of that.
00:08:42.197 --> 00:08:48.875
That said, outside of that, I couldn't tell you, I couldn't give you an honest answer.
00:08:48.875 --> 00:08:50.259
I mean, I don't live as a ranger.
00:08:50.259 --> 00:08:53.409
The lifestyle is outrageous.
00:08:54.539 --> 00:08:55.923
Yeah, Rom's in the masters.
00:08:55.923 --> 00:08:56.644
For the rest of his life.
00:08:56.644 --> 00:08:57.985
He never has to worry about that one.
00:08:58.246 --> 00:09:01.392
He's in the next five years of majors.
00:09:05.542 --> 00:09:07.686
So he's not going anywhere as far as the majors go.
00:09:07.686 --> 00:09:10.610
So him leaving now to go get a huge paycheck, totally understand.
00:09:10.610 --> 00:09:11.393
Absolutely.
00:09:11.393 --> 00:09:17.211
Stop it with the OWGR, just fucking stop.
00:09:17.211 --> 00:09:20.240
Go play your live golf, be happy there.
00:09:21.501 --> 00:09:23.625
I mean, how many major champions are playing on live now?
00:09:23.625 --> 00:09:27.870
I mean you've got Keppler, you've got John Brown, you've got.
00:09:27.870 --> 00:09:30.374
I mean you've got to watch the guys that are able to play.
00:09:34.783 --> 00:09:38.826
You've got this combination of people that are able to go play in the majors anyway.
00:09:38.826 --> 00:09:49.216
I think it's the guys that you know the Paparezz is the, you know, guys like that need the points to qualify for those things because they've never won one right.
00:09:49.216 --> 00:09:58.279
That's, I think, the separation between the top of the line with guys and, you know, the everyday, regular people.
00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:03.409
The Paparezz is not a player that's going to leave a mark on the game.
00:10:04.072 --> 00:10:05.114
I'm not going to disagree with him.
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.865
Yeah, and he made more money this year on live than he ever did on the PGA tours.
00:10:09.865 --> 00:10:14.495
I know, I mean I don't have the data, but I'm not going to disagree with him.
00:10:14.554 --> 00:10:15.660
Yeah, no, made a killing.
00:10:16.042 --> 00:10:18.668
So why the fuck would he care about OWGR?
00:10:18.668 --> 00:10:21.053
Why, hey?
00:10:21.053 --> 00:10:23.279
I can go play and finish last and make more money.
00:10:24.822 --> 00:10:28.347
You know I just it's a pretty good game, if you can get it, I think.
00:10:28.889 --> 00:10:31.072
Yeah, I think so yeah.
00:10:31.312 --> 00:10:32.375
I'm still waiting on Michael man.
00:10:32.394 --> 00:10:33.076
I don't know about you guys.
00:10:34.602 --> 00:10:35.785
I'm down to play anytime.
00:10:35.785 --> 00:10:38.172
Absolutely, Absolutely.
00:10:38.172 --> 00:10:39.254
I'll take the plane right.
00:10:39.740 --> 00:10:43.048
I can shoot 18 over really easy, really easy.
00:10:43.831 --> 00:10:44.413
Every day of the week.
00:10:44.413 --> 00:10:48.857
There's quite a few that do that on live, so you know yeah.
00:10:48.857 --> 00:10:58.455
I think the biggest thing for me is is like these guys are going over there and saying that they're growing the game, which is just straight up horseshit yeah.
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:03.548
Did you see that video where the like people are like say it, john, say it John.
00:11:03.548 --> 00:11:05.392
Say it John, you could grow in the game, yeah.
00:11:05.392 --> 00:11:08.003
You could argue?
00:11:08.023 --> 00:11:12.259
though you could argue that growing the game is a lot, you could be interpreted in different ways.
00:11:12.259 --> 00:11:20.592
Yeah, there's people that like the atmosphere there, that maybe don't like the stiff golf style, whatever.
00:11:20.592 --> 00:11:24.101
Yeah, but what is growing the game, though?
00:11:24.101 --> 00:11:27.929
Like is it getting a bunch of little kids in the golf, like that's what I feel like it used to be?
00:11:27.929 --> 00:11:32.629
Yeah, for getting minorities or people that maybe don't have that opportunity.
00:11:32.629 --> 00:11:34.604
What's growing the game, though?
00:11:34.604 --> 00:11:35.546
Like it's pretty broad.
00:11:36.048 --> 00:11:37.091
That's a great question.
00:11:37.091 --> 00:11:41.326
Yeah, do we need to define what growing the game is?
00:11:41.326 --> 00:11:44.730
Because everybody uses it, you know.
00:11:44.890 --> 00:11:46.332
Yeah, they do.
00:11:46.332 --> 00:11:52.105
It's really just getting more people to play golf and, if it's what I've always thought, if people that aren't playing.
00:11:52.166 --> 00:12:00.230
get them on the course yeah, if haven't figured out what it is that's so awesome about it, or they don't and and get more people playing golf.
00:12:00.230 --> 00:12:01.813
Okay, we've done that.
00:12:02.721 --> 00:12:03.182
That's the thing.
00:12:03.182 --> 00:12:06.067
Anybody that goes over there saying that is fucking bullshit.
00:12:06.067 --> 00:12:07.350
That's my thing.
00:12:07.350 --> 00:12:09.174
You're not fucking growing the game.
00:12:09.174 --> 00:12:09.860
Like that's why.
00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:17.873
When Harold Harald Varner went over there, like I was all about that because he was like fuck that, it's not the money, it's generational wealth.
00:12:17.873 --> 00:12:19.556
Like that's what I'm doing it for.
00:12:19.556 --> 00:12:24.404
Like I'm not here to grow the game, and that that's what pisses me off, because John Rom dropped the.
00:12:24.404 --> 00:12:27.288
It's growing the game, shit, and that's not fucking true.
00:12:27.288 --> 00:12:28.669
No absolutely.
00:12:30.131 --> 00:12:30.613
I like that.
00:12:30.613 --> 00:12:33.941
We're going to have to define I say that all.
00:12:33.941 --> 00:12:35.063
Put that on an Instagram later.
00:12:35.063 --> 00:12:37.889
Define what growing the game is and we'll see what people say.
00:12:37.889 --> 00:12:39.533
I'm interested to see.
00:12:40.299 --> 00:12:41.240
Jed, if you're listening.
00:12:41.581 --> 00:12:42.000
What do you think?
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.522

00:12:56.388 --> 00:12:57.793

00:12:59.345 --> 00:13:02.474
Elite hat probably the best golf hat I've ever put on my head.
00:13:03.096 --> 00:13:05.931
Wow, Joe, looks like they took your chippy dice man.
00:13:07.847 --> 00:13:08.671

00:13:16.755 --> 00:13:33.572
So I was out at Rio Friday last week and man, that place, it drives me nuts because it's it's it's so overpriced but it's, it's a resort course.
00:13:33.572 --> 00:13:50.544
You know, they booked the tourist and shuttle them out there and and they raked those guys over the coals but the course was in fantastic shape and the greens, the greens were A lot faster than so high, like a lot faster than so high, really.
00:13:50.544 --> 00:13:52.865
Yeah, I was Wow.
00:13:53.898 --> 00:13:54.202
I was shocked.
00:13:55.495 --> 00:13:57.847
I was shocked at how fast they were, but it was.
00:13:57.847 --> 00:14:03.437
It was fun putting on it, you know fun and Hell the ball pretty well.
00:14:03.437 --> 00:14:04.684
Of course it's in great shape.
00:14:04.684 --> 00:14:08.808
They fixed a lot of the bunker issues, were you?
00:14:08.808 --> 00:14:12.217
You know the bad areas and certain bunkers didn't.
00:14:12.217 --> 00:14:13.360
Didn't see one.
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:14.725
