00:01:14.989 --> 00:01:15.370
This week.

00:01:15.370 --> 00:01:21.724
We checked out Swingers LV, the indoor putt-putt place in Vegas.

00:01:21.724 --> 00:01:22.487
We'll talk about that.

00:01:22.487 --> 00:01:24.718
And I love craps.

00:01:24.718 --> 00:01:26.325
Now, I'm a big craps guy.

00:01:27.268 --> 00:01:27.909
Big craps guy.

00:01:30.322 --> 00:01:31.063
Yeah, bgc.

00:01:31.063 --> 00:01:36.388
Uh uh, juju and I were down in Havasu for a putter uh event.

00:01:36.388 --> 00:01:38.462
That that was a lot of black.

00:01:38.462 --> 00:01:39.828
That was a lot of fun, it was a blast.

00:01:39.828 --> 00:01:42.765
Um, I got a new putter showed up today.

00:01:43.165 --> 00:01:44.227
That was a lot of blast.

00:01:44.468 --> 00:01:45.230
It was a lot of blast.

00:01:45.230 --> 00:01:45.871
It was a lot of blast.

00:01:45.871 --> 00:01:50.546
We had some fun.

00:01:50.546 --> 00:01:55.013
Torrey Pines took place this past weekend, pebble Beach is this week.

00:01:55.013 --> 00:01:59.245
We got Revere coming up this Sunday.

00:01:59.245 --> 00:02:01.811
I was hitting the Elite Driver and Indoor Trackman.

00:02:01.811 --> 00:02:04.888
Got some cool numbers about that.

00:02:04.888 --> 00:02:08.504
And then this morning I interviewed lance reader from crank golf.

00:02:08.504 --> 00:02:12.112
Everybody knows crank from the long drives and bryson dechambeau.

00:02:12.112 --> 00:02:14.526
That was uh blice.

00:02:14.526 --> 00:02:39.046
It's so funny because when we haven't done a one-on-one interview with anybody it's been a while and I always get nervous when I do the interviews because I I got my questions that I want to ask and you know we had a pre-phone call last week talking about what we chat about and a lot of times I'm like I'm looking through my questions and I'll look up it's been 20 minutes and I'm like how the hell am I going to get another 30 minutes?

00:02:39.167 --> 00:02:42.051
out of this, you know, to make it a viable interview.

00:02:42.051 --> 00:02:43.694
We were chatting.

00:02:43.694 --> 00:02:45.205
I looked up an hour and five.

00:02:45.205 --> 00:02:47.086
I mean it flew by.

00:02:47.086 --> 00:02:56.325
Lance is a 100% golf nerd that owns a driver company that is doing some amazing things and I cannot wait to share it with you.

00:02:56.325 --> 00:03:02.670
Later on in the episode I got a little teaser that we'll share so you can kind of see how the format was and everything.

00:03:02.670 --> 00:03:04.968
But it was a lot of fun and I had a blast.

00:03:04.968 --> 00:03:12.502
Can't thank him enough for that.

00:03:12.502 --> 00:03:12.984
Yeah, so let's get it.

00:03:13.003 --> 00:03:16.792
Uh, let's get into some some golf chatter joe, you want to start with uh uh swingers.

00:03:16.792 --> 00:03:17.152
Yeah, we can.

00:03:17.152 --> 00:03:20.764
So uh, yeah, I turned 40 on saturday, happy belated birthday, by the way.

00:03:20.783 --> 00:03:27.841
Yes, sir, you were, you were there so yeah shout out to you shout out

00:03:27.901 --> 00:03:29.686
and tray and tray and tray.

00:03:31.830 --> 00:03:33.514
Uh, no, I had, I had no idea.

00:03:33.514 --> 00:03:36.403
So, wife surprised, because I mentioned it a couple months ago.

00:03:36.403 --> 00:03:40.881
I said it'd be cool to get like everybody together to go play swingers and check it out.

00:03:40.881 --> 00:03:47.051
So, uh, she uh successfully achieved a surprise out of me.

00:03:47.051 --> 00:03:48.781
But uh, it was cool it.

00:03:48.781 --> 00:03:52.432
The only thing is it's I mean, it's like real mini golf.

00:03:52.432 --> 00:03:57.605
It's different from pop stroke, for sure, but it's just too quick, it's too fast.

00:03:57.605 --> 00:04:02.112
I mean we played for 15 minutes yeah it it

00:04:02.153 --> 00:04:05.027
felt I mean it felt like 10 minutes, like we were done in 10 minutes.

00:04:05.027 --> 00:04:15.556
You know they got three nine holes but uh, it was fun, like no doubt about it, it was a lot of fun, but um, it just was, it was so fast and it was over before we knew it.

00:04:15.556 --> 00:04:21.747
I feel like I mean, especially with me getting like three aces, you know, so it was just quick it was.

00:04:22.189 --> 00:04:31.170
It was very packed Like, very packed Like shoulder to shoulder Way more people than I thought were going to be in there for sure, yeah.

00:04:32.060 --> 00:04:36.232
And the holes are like on an 8x10 piece of plywood.

00:04:36.232 --> 00:04:37.584
That's how big the holes are.

00:04:37.584 --> 00:05:09.720
They're not big, not very big, and they're lined up in a row and it's like you go to one, then you go to the next one, then you go to one and you go to the next one, then you go to the next one and you know they, they say everybody, put out your ball, you know, and then the next person go and and they're not crazy difficult holes, it's, it's fun, you know, it's a, it's a putt putt place and but then you're, then you're waiting for the next group and then you shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, and then you play, and then you're waiting for the next group and then you shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, and then you play and then you're waiting for the next group and shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle and it's it's very conveyor belty.

00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.322
Uh, you know that's.

00:05:11.463 --> 00:05:18.766
I mean, that's how many golf is nowadays, though it's like you know, it's, it's cramped, it's, you know, and the hardest hole was the windmill hole.

00:05:18.766 --> 00:05:22.745
That's the only one that really gave any of us any difficulty, and it's, it's.

00:05:22.745 --> 00:05:24.970
It's just it's too quick.

00:05:24.970 --> 00:05:27.262
The the holes aren't long enough at all.

00:05:27.262 --> 00:05:30.449
Like you know, I would have loved for it to be 10 more minutes.

00:05:30.449 --> 00:05:34.285
You know, worth of golf, you're paying, we were having fun with it.

00:05:34.285 --> 00:05:35.769
Oh yeah, we're paying.

00:05:35.769 --> 00:05:39.704
We're paying 30 bucks, you know, for 10 15 minutes.

00:05:40.043 --> 00:05:42.848
There's no replay, it's not.

00:05:42.848 --> 00:05:51.911
It's not like pop stroke, where once you get in you can go as much as you want but I think you can pay for an extra nine, uh, for a discounted price.

00:05:52.012 --> 00:06:01.870
But like when we rolled up, you know, they said they didn't have any tea times for two and a half hours basically, and and katie finagled it to where, like I called earlier, they say get us in.

00:06:01.870 --> 00:06:05.769
And then they're like, oh, let me check with somebody, and then, oh yeah, we can get you in.

00:06:05.769 --> 00:06:14.291
You know, I don't know if they're playing that game of exclusivity or anything but um, it was packed so did you only play nine holes, or?

00:06:15.053 --> 00:06:15.555
all three.

00:06:15.555 --> 00:06:17.319
We played nine holes.

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:36.709
Then we went upstairs to their carnival area which has a bunch of games from like old school, like excalibur, circuscus which is cool and they're all golf themed yeah, and, and you get tickets and then you can trade in your tickets for, like, golf towels or ball markers or tees or golf balls, things like that.

00:06:36.709 --> 00:06:47.514
But uh, we, we did a little loop and then we hit the craps table we're like, we're out yeah, matt's first time playing craps, which uh he's not crazy.

00:06:48.154 --> 00:06:49.882
I almost broke his knee also.

00:06:49.923 --> 00:07:01.987
Yeah were you as lucky as trey was apparently we all won, we all, we all won I, I left, but I was up 300 bucks, so I I was happy I haven't.

00:07:02.788 --> 00:07:03.470
I love craps.

00:07:03.470 --> 00:07:08.923
Craps is my favorite casino game and, uh, to share matt's first time on the craps table was awesome.

00:07:08.923 --> 00:07:23.930
Um, we, we got locked in at the 15 minimum, which was fantastic because they automatically up, that's at 25 as soon as four more people showed up you know, I was teaching matt how to play the game and it's, it's fun, dude, it's a community game.

00:07:23.990 --> 00:07:28.446
It's like you know me, matt and trey on the corner we're all like rooting for each other.

00:07:28.446 --> 00:07:30.269
It's, it's a blast.

00:07:30.269 --> 00:07:44.648
And matt hit this heart eight and, uh, I had money on the heart eight we all had money on the heart eight and then I fucking just bear hugged him and lifted him up and I almost broke his knee like the knees it was fun I.

00:07:44.648 --> 00:07:49.629
That's the most fun I've had on craps table in a long time, long time yeah, it was.

00:07:49.749 --> 00:07:58.310
It was good threw a couple dice off the table a couple times, so same dice, same dice you learned same dice it was, uh, it was a good time.

00:07:58.310 --> 00:08:03.541
But if this is what I'd tell you, because a bunch of people, after I posted some pictures, were sending me messages, what do you think?

00:08:03.541 --> 00:08:04.225
What do you think what?

00:08:04.285 --> 00:08:04.947
do you think same yeah?

00:08:04.988 --> 00:08:08.161
same about swingers and this is this is what I was telling everybody.

00:08:08.161 --> 00:08:11.742
You need to go just to check it out, to see what it's like, so you can say that you've been.

00:08:11.742 --> 00:08:13.488
Will you go again?

00:08:13.488 --> 00:08:14.894
And probably not.

00:08:14.894 --> 00:08:23.329
Maybe if you got a buddy in town that's staying in mandalay bay and you want to go hang out, you know maybe, but there's a lot of other, better places to hang out in my opinion.

00:08:23.329 --> 00:08:25.413
But it's, it's cool.

00:08:25.413 --> 00:08:26.074
It's cool to see.

00:08:26.074 --> 00:08:27.255
It's a, you know.

00:08:27.255 --> 00:08:29.648
Going back to it's where the rum jungle was.

00:08:29.648 --> 00:08:36.030
If anybody remembers where that was in the, as soon as you walk in from the parking garage, it's right there.

00:08:36.740 --> 00:08:42.308
So for me it's like you know, we don't have a lot of mini golf town or mini golf that's like that.

00:08:42.308 --> 00:08:45.898
You know, um, it's cool that it's adults only.

00:08:45.998 --> 00:09:03.303
but like, theo loves mini golf and he can't go there because it's not welcome for kids, I think they need to open it up during the day for families, like maybe on saturdays yeah one day a week, you know because theo would love to do that, like in the, like you said, in the morning, like in the summertime, when people are at the pool and they're taking a break.

00:09:03.303 --> 00:09:03.605
Oh, let's go's.

00:09:03.605 --> 00:09:04.648
Go do a putt-putt for a little while.

00:09:04.648 --> 00:09:05.750
Grab some frozen drinks.

00:09:06.301 --> 00:09:07.687
Yeah, and it doesn't have to be every day.

00:09:07.687 --> 00:09:10.855
I did love that their frozen drinks had great names.

00:09:11.155 --> 00:09:11.879
Yeah, Frostelay.

00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:12.221
They had.

00:09:12.221 --> 00:09:16.570
Frostelay was a great name for a frozen drink at a mini golf place.

00:09:16.890 --> 00:09:17.130
Yeah.

00:09:17.751 --> 00:09:18.254
I love that.

00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:19.780
What's up Juju?

00:09:19.900 --> 00:09:24.008
Good stuff stuff yeah, oh yeah, comment's coming in.

00:09:24.008 --> 00:09:24.688
I didn't see that.

00:09:24.688 --> 00:09:25.330
We got.

00:09:25.330 --> 00:09:32.150
Uh, sup, fam, what you doing the house all right, so that that covers swingers and craps?

00:09:32.150 --> 00:09:35.765
Uh, that was a lot of fun.

00:09:35.765 --> 00:09:37.568
I it's what was nice.

00:09:37.568 --> 00:09:39.753
And train, we were talking about this.

00:09:39.753 --> 00:09:42.104
That, the the craps.

00:09:42.104 --> 00:09:43.107
What do you call them?

00:09:43.107 --> 00:09:49.705
Joe attendance uh, dealers, crap dealers, yeah, yeah they were very, very cool.

00:09:50.605 --> 00:09:51.126
They weren't.

00:09:51.126 --> 00:09:54.572
They weren't assholes, they, they were cool.

00:09:54.572 --> 00:10:04.205
The the guy was helping joe helped me explain what was going on and you know he was really, really cool and that that made it a lot of fun.

00:10:04.606 --> 00:10:11.322
So well, that's also the thing when you're playing craps like I, my dad was a crap stealer, so, like I, was laying down bets for them from the beginning.

00:10:11.322 --> 00:10:22.205
Um, you got to do that, you want them to take care of it, and when matt hit that hard eight, they actually had six dollars on that hard eight, so they made like sixty dollars off that roll from your roll, yeah.

00:10:22.205 --> 00:10:30.631
So, um, obviously that gets them into the game and they're, of course, more willing to help you if, if, if, you're throwing bets out there for them.

00:10:30.731 --> 00:10:37.100
So dude and trey threw double sixes to set the set the point, and then he threw double sixes on the next roll.

00:10:37.100 --> 00:10:58.022
It was back-to-back box cars from trey was crazy it was crazy, but I mean it would be fun if we had, you know, like 10 of us all that, all hung out and just mobbed and took over craps table yeah, that's what we used to do that I could, that I could see happening so yeah, maybe we'll have our vg and board meeting around a crap's table.

00:10:58.302 --> 00:11:01.489
I just got a bad roll going on.

00:11:01.489 --> 00:11:02.831
That's a whole different story.

00:11:02.831 --> 00:11:06.000
Everybody's got a bad roll going on.

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.365
That's a whole different story, everybody's shit in the bed.

00:11:08.465 --> 00:11:21.874
Tory pines I know ever since we went and played tory pines everybody kind of gets up to watch this one because you get to see those guys just play great golf on an incredibly hard golf course.

00:11:21.874 --> 00:11:26.110
They had some struggles with the wind.

00:11:26.171 --> 00:11:42.748
They had to have a wind delay the course was firm, it was fast, it was rough, was thick and uh, yeah, I'd seen people lay up on 13 was impressive, because normally those guys bomb it down there so far that they can, you know, hit the low irons into that.

00:11:42.748 --> 00:11:48.788
But uh, seeing that a lot of guys have to lay up to the bottom of the valley was a different way to watch Torrey.

00:11:48.788 --> 00:11:52.207
Congrats to Harris English on the win.

00:11:52.207 --> 00:12:06.326
Ludwig got sick and made it through, so kudos to him for not taking the WD and getting some points and playing, but it's always fun seeing Torrey on TV.

00:12:07.067 --> 00:12:09.812
Yeah, yep.

00:12:12.260 --> 00:12:14.008
Should we tell him he's on mute or just let him go?

00:12:15.341 --> 00:12:20.652
I think that where they really failed is we got Torrey Pines again coming up.

00:12:20.652 --> 00:12:23.744
Yep, that's a bad choice.

00:12:23.764 --> 00:12:26.311
It's going to be interesting Real soon and it's going to be a better field too.

00:12:26.331 --> 00:12:41.447
Be interesting, yeah, and it's gonna be a better field too yeah, it's gonna be a better field, and the only thing that's good is it's only gonna be the south course, so I'm as far as I know, I can't imagine them playing the north course again yeah, no, I think I think pga tour fucked up with that one.

00:12:41.486 --> 00:12:56.307
Like I know that um riviera can't be played currently, but better options were out there, especially like for them to pick a course that is being played this week and then they're gonna play it again in a few weeks, like that's just.

00:12:56.307 --> 00:12:58.072
They fucked up too.

00:12:58.072 --> 00:12:59.621
It's the least amount of effort.

00:12:59.621 --> 00:13:06.500
Yeah, I mean, I understand from like a logistical standpoint, like they don't have to put stands up anymore.

00:13:06.562 --> 00:13:08.706
You know everything it was a total phone in.

00:13:08.706 --> 00:13:09.828
They phoned in, they.

00:13:09.828 --> 00:13:13.864
They said what can we do to spend the least amount of money?

00:13:13.864 --> 00:13:16.831
Yeah, yeah go to tory.

00:13:16.831 --> 00:13:25.894
I mean they should have just said fuck it and had it at at uh, where it's supposed to be at riviera and dealt with.

00:13:25.894 --> 00:13:30.644
You know, raise some money from support for the fires and everything.

00:13:30.644 --> 00:13:32.849
But I mean I guess it's, I don't know.

00:13:32.849 --> 00:13:35.500
I haven't seen recently so many so many options.

00:13:35.701 --> 00:13:50.326
They had so many options, you know, and they probably went to the furthest option away from where they were to do it yeah, there's many options to be between tory and uh riviera.

00:13:50.386 --> 00:13:59.932
Like trump national, have been great I'd love to see them at pasa well, that's north, north but I know, yeah, that would be sick rams hill.

00:14:00.072 --> 00:14:01.782
I think rams hill would have been fantastic.

00:14:01.782 --> 00:14:09.884
I mean, I think they got to it up and they're scared to shake it up, Yep, but it does save them money.

00:14:09.884 --> 00:14:11.750
So I do understand that aspect.

00:14:11.750 --> 00:14:16.052
But we don't need to see Torrey twice in a month, you know.

00:14:17.520 --> 00:14:22.005
Well, I mean, the US Open was recently there, and then you have, you know, the farmers.

00:14:22.486 --> 00:14:23.750
It's a thing bro.

00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:25.922
I mean there's been a lot of tori.

00:14:25.922 --> 00:14:30.071
It's kind of like when quail hollow stale getting stale it was.

00:14:30.071 --> 00:14:34.616
You know, every year there was something going on at quail hollow and we've got a lot of quail hollow.

00:14:34.658 --> 00:14:46.912
Now we're getting an overdose of tori yeah, yeah, letting it get stale and and you don't need that currently, especially with the hype of TGL and Liv.

00:14:47.880 --> 00:14:49.869
I still okay, so we can talk about TGL.

00:14:49.869 --> 00:14:52.047
I still have not watched this week's episode.

00:14:52.047 --> 00:14:56.969
I got it recorded, but you guys all said best one so far.

00:14:58.722 --> 00:14:59.524
Yeah, by a margin.

00:14:59.524 --> 00:15:01.090
Yeah, it was way better.

00:15:02.522 --> 00:15:03.885
So what made it better?

00:15:04.589 --> 00:15:10.491
Personalities, the Tiger Rory sort of rivalry, tom Kidd.

00:15:11.662 --> 00:15:15.489
Not a blowout yeah not a blowout, it went down to it.

00:15:15.489 --> 00:15:18.304
He had a shootout at the end.

00:15:20.309 --> 00:15:20.731
Nice.

00:15:21.860 --> 00:15:22.725
Yeah, you got to watch it.

00:15:22.725 --> 00:15:23.206
It was good.

00:15:23.206 --> 00:15:24.456
Yeah, I'll probably watch it tomorrow.

00:15:24.419 --> 00:15:25.062
I was going to try and watch it.

00:15:25.062 --> 00:15:25.298
It was good yeah, I'm gonna.

00:15:25.298 --> 00:15:26.038
Uh, I'll probably watch it tomorrow.

00:15:26.038 --> 00:15:26.759
I was gonna.

00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.187
I was gonna try and watch it today, but so so much going on today.

00:15:30.187 --> 00:15:33.563
Good grief, I'm a busy man, it's seeing that.

00:15:33.625 --> 00:15:44.186
It's funny seeing them, like all those flubbed chip shots that you see during the tgl with the grain they're hitting chips into the grain and it hits the edge of the collar and just pops straight up and stop.

00:15:44.186 --> 00:15:48.566
That's interesting.

00:15:48.566 --> 00:15:51.195
I mean it's like they expect it to act like a real green, which?

00:15:53.501 --> 00:15:56.009
It takes time to get used to, for sure, that's what.

00:15:56.029 --> 00:15:56.270
I've said.

00:15:56.270 --> 00:16:10.408
I've said that the chipping seems to be the biggest issue that they have because it's fake grass and there's no common reaction for artificial turf and a wedge.

00:16:10.408 --> 00:16:15.609
It's going to react differently almost every time because it's not real grass.

00:16:16.820 --> 00:16:35.820
Well, kisner had a putt from um off the green and uh, he putted it and it just like popped up, like and it popped pop, and it didn't even make two or three feet yeah yeah yeah, I'm curious like it's it's cool, it's amazing, like the technology is truly amazing.

00:16:36.582 --> 00:16:49.985
but I'm wondering if, for next season, if they're going to change the green up and try to advance that a little bit, because it's it's interesting, because you know where they are on the green at every time, like you see the same hill but it's from a different angle.

00:16:49.985 --> 00:16:59.321
I'm curious if they'll figure out a way to change it yeah, I do that hill Cause change that thing.

00:16:59.341 --> 00:17:00.524
Yeah, yeah, I do that hill because that hill is always there.

00:17:00.524 --> 00:17:08.049
There's always that, like every time, opti, or every time, every time, and with the pendulums or whatever they have under the green, like it's, that hill is always there they need to sit broke.

00:17:09.313 --> 00:17:18.153
Yeah, it was too severe yeah yeah it's like an automatic six feet by the hole every time you put it on it.

00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.250
And then you see guys that are like oh, come down, come down, and it stays.

00:17:21.250 --> 00:17:23.705
And then they have this on the screen.

00:17:23.726 --> 00:17:24.248
Yeah, yeah.

00:17:24.520 --> 00:17:26.007
And then it just touches the ball.

00:17:26.007 --> 00:17:30.467
You know, they just touch the touch and it takes off and it's like that should have rolled back.

00:17:30.467 --> 00:17:33.602
But regarding that Hill?

00:17:33.682 --> 00:17:35.183
Yeah, that regarding that Hill, though.

00:17:35.183 --> 00:17:42.892
In the playoff it was interesting to see Keegan Bradley hit the hill, but he didn't make it all the way up and it came all the way back down.

00:17:42.892 --> 00:17:55.991
But Tom Kim drove it into the hill and checked up onto the top of the tier, so it's like these guys are going to figure it out eventually.

00:17:56.011 --> 00:17:57.595
Yeah, yeah it's getting a lot of.

00:17:57.595 --> 00:17:58.376
It was interesting, go ahead.

00:17:58.376 --> 00:18:09.212
I think it was kisner, I can't remember who hit that approach shot and it clearly should have rolled down like rolled back down towards the flag, but on the screen it just stuck there in the middle, like in the middle of the downslope.

00:18:09.212 --> 00:18:10.242
It stuck on the green.

00:18:10.644 --> 00:18:11.425
So they have to move.

00:18:11.425 --> 00:18:16.084
They couldn't set the ball down because it was just rolling, so they had to move it around the hill.

00:18:16.084 --> 00:18:22.315
That was interesting, but can you explain what the hammer is?

00:18:22.315 --> 00:18:25.162
I still don't get that.

00:18:25.162 --> 00:18:25.561
What is the hammer?

00:18:25.602 --> 00:18:27.684
for it just doubles the points for the whole.

00:18:28.105 --> 00:18:29.227
It's basically a press.

00:18:29.227 --> 00:18:31.849
It's a press basically.

00:18:32.269 --> 00:18:47.174
And then if you do it before they tee off, they have to accept it Right, because you can deny, you can say, don't, I'm not taking the hammer, okay somebody throw it down before you tee off.

00:18:47.234 --> 00:18:52.871
I think you have to take I don't know, I'm not 100 sure, but it's been getting a lot of, a lot of hate.

00:18:52.871 --> 00:18:57.689
A lot of people are talking shit about it and you knew that was going to happen.

00:18:57.689 --> 00:19:00.521
I mean it's again.

00:19:00.521 --> 00:19:00.942
It's.

00:19:00.942 --> 00:19:08.923
You know, it's the live versus the pga types talk and it's like, oh, you guys are shitting on live, but you love indoor golf.

00:19:08.923 --> 00:19:11.912
And it's like, well, you know, I mean it's, it's not golf, it's.

00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.644
You know, as joe's been saying for weeks now, it's it's golf entertainment.

00:19:15.644 --> 00:19:16.665
This is not.

00:19:16.665 --> 00:19:20.191
You know, you're not basing your handicap off this.

00:19:20.191 --> 00:19:23.255
You're not getting world uh ranking points for this.

00:19:23.255 --> 00:19:23.474
It's.

00:19:23.474 --> 00:19:24.902
It's fun, it's entertainment.

00:19:24.902 --> 00:19:26.727
It's it's good to see these guys out there.

00:19:26.727 --> 00:19:29.242
You know, hitting golf shots on simulators it's fun.

00:19:29.242 --> 00:19:30.307
It's fun.

00:19:30.307 --> 00:19:35.523
And if you think about it as being fun, you might enjoy it a little bit more than I think.

00:19:35.523 --> 00:19:40.594
A lot of these people are expecting this to be what golf is going to be in the future.

00:19:40.594 --> 00:19:49.023
And I mean until we can't go outside because the toxic fumes in the air have all locked us in silos beneath the ground.

00:19:49.023 --> 00:19:51.510
Golf isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

00:19:52.741 --> 00:19:54.032
Shout out silo Season three.

00:19:54.032 --> 00:19:54.878
Shout out Silo Season three.

00:19:56.361 --> 00:19:59.066
Season three, come on.

00:19:59.066 --> 00:20:03.114
You know, golf isn't going anywhere for a very long time.

00:20:03.114 --> 00:20:11.991
And I don't think anybody has any fear, should have any fears, that something like this on ESPN is going to change the game.

00:20:11.991 --> 00:20:18.906
It's not, it's just something to watch on a Tuesday night oh wait, a Monday night, oh wait a Monday at 3.30.

00:20:19.446 --> 00:20:19.690
Oh wait a.

00:20:19.730 --> 00:20:20.178
Tuesday at 5.

00:20:21.383 --> 00:20:21.682
What the?

00:20:21.723 --> 00:20:24.451
fuck, ESPN Good grief.

00:20:26.361 --> 00:20:27.547
They got to get that shit figured out.

00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:29.247
I don't know what the hell is going on with that.

00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:38.752
Yeah, that's terrible If they want the most viewership, like it's 8 pm Eastern on whatever day.

00:20:42.766 --> 00:20:48.174
Who is the guy in the ESPN executive board that approves when things are on in the time slot?

00:20:48.174 --> 00:20:49.942
How did he not go?

00:20:49.942 --> 00:20:57.692
You know, this is college basketball season and we have way more people watch college basketball than indoor simulator golf.

00:20:57.692 --> 00:21:02.166
Maybe Tuesday nights are not a good night for this?

00:21:02.166 --> 00:21:07.519
Yeah, you know, and Monday football's over on Monday nights.

00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:09.146
So just put it on Monday nights.

00:21:09.146 --> 00:21:21.830
Make it a new Monday night event and I think the the players will be happier because that's you know a day sooner that they can get to where they're playing if they're playing yeah, true, and that's I.

00:21:22.031 --> 00:21:23.032
I thought about that too.

00:21:23.032 --> 00:21:26.851
Is that why max homer didn't play for jupiter links and that's why tom kim was in?

00:21:26.851 --> 00:21:30.705
Because is max homer playing pebble or like?

00:21:31.208 --> 00:21:32.111
everybody's playing pebble.

00:21:32.171 --> 00:21:39.840
It's a signature event but didn't max withdraw this week too, though I don't know xander's not playing because he's got a rib.

00:21:39.840 --> 00:21:44.050
I don't know that I don't know when it got um now that episode got recorded.

00:21:44.050 --> 00:21:46.144
But if it was this week, I know max.

00:21:46.144 --> 00:21:48.633
I'm pretty sure max withdrew due to sickness.

00:21:48.633 --> 00:22:01.412
A lot of people did withdrew uh due to sickness, but, um, that could be a reason why he didn't play let's see if he is in the that too, or because tom kim yeah you know, he sat out last week, and it was just Max's time.

00:22:02.140 --> 00:22:07.163
He tees off 10-19 on Thursday at Pebble Beach, so he is in the field.

00:22:08.446 --> 00:22:09.189
California kid.

00:22:09.851 --> 00:22:15.151
Yeah, yeah, which, by the way, love seeing all the top names.

00:22:15.151 --> 00:22:16.542
We haven't seen this.

00:22:16.542 --> 00:22:18.308
You know, Amy, you want to count the century?

00:22:18.308 --> 00:22:21.193
You can, but it's been a while.

00:22:21.681 --> 00:22:26.807
It's been a while and there are a lot of players in the field this week.

00:22:26.807 --> 00:22:43.008
If you look at the OWGR, we got 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 9, 30, 31, 32, 33.

00:22:43.008 --> 00:22:48.574
I mean basically all of the top 50, for sure, minus a couple players.

00:22:48.574 --> 00:22:51.696
So this is what we want.

00:22:51.696 --> 00:22:55.423
I mean the people that aren't there.

00:22:55.423 --> 00:22:55.968
We want them there as well.

00:22:55.968 --> 00:22:58.441
So still don't know if it's ever gonna freaking happen.

00:22:58.441 --> 00:23:03.874
But yeah, let's get the best players back on the course, please.

00:23:04.695 --> 00:23:12.880
All of them, it's gonna happen soon yeah and I can tell by your sweater that you're wearing because it's around the corner.

00:23:13.721 --> 00:23:14.583
We're getting close.

00:23:14.583 --> 00:23:16.425
We're getting close.

00:23:16.425 --> 00:23:23.623
Uh, it will be fun to to see the masters again looking forward to it.

00:23:23.623 --> 00:23:26.471
All right, so that covers, uh, the bubble beach.

00:23:26.471 --> 00:23:30.604
Uh, here's, here's the bubble.

00:23:30.604 --> 00:23:31.865
Here's here's the new one.

00:23:31.865 --> 00:23:38.472
There she is fiend there she is he's back, baby.

00:23:38.492 --> 00:23:39.874
The mayor is back.

00:23:40.434 --> 00:23:55.644
This is the company man the company man well, hey, I was all you gotta do is give him a deep discount on things and he'll fucking just go to town on his head now I was rolling jailbird before I started working with calloway, so uh, but yeah, this is the, the slant.

00:23:55.705 --> 00:24:05.428
You can see it right there, the slant neck little half off on the offset and man very happy.

00:24:05.428 --> 00:24:05.950
Look at that.

00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.683
I even got my grip on it already.

00:24:08.886 --> 00:24:13.307
Wow, yeah, brand new just released.

00:24:13.307 --> 00:24:19.332
These are brand new the slant neck, so I implore anybody to get out to the golf store.

00:24:19.332 --> 00:24:23.830
What I so what this version has more than my plumber's deck.

00:24:23.830 --> 00:24:32.472
It's got a little bit more toe hang so it feels more like a blade and, uh, I had it bent too flat so it sets up perfect.

00:24:32.472 --> 00:24:34.442
I was out rolling it this afternoon.

00:24:34.442 --> 00:24:37.127
Wow, very nice, very nice.

00:24:37.127 --> 00:24:40.473
Feels very different than my other jailbird.

00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:41.468
I mean, the face is the same.

00:24:41.468 --> 00:24:42.317
What's the difference?

00:24:42.317 --> 00:24:44.145
Milled, it's like a milled face.

00:24:44.145 --> 00:24:45.785
No, it's still the same.

00:24:46.401 --> 00:24:48.868
Yeah, it still has the white hot face.

00:24:48.868 --> 00:24:53.230
They don't have the milled version in the slant neck yet.

00:24:54.604 --> 00:24:55.788
What was the previous jailbird?

00:24:55.788 --> 00:24:57.086
Was it the same exact face?

00:24:58.160 --> 00:24:59.444
Exact same, neck yet, but I'm is the?

00:24:59.464 --> 00:25:00.086
what was the previous jailbird?

00:25:00.086 --> 00:25:04.563
Was it the same exact face or exact same head, except it's just the neck, okay, yeah just just what I like about it is when you're looking down on it.

00:25:05.945 --> 00:25:08.693
Because of the slant neck, you see more of the putter head.

00:25:08.713 --> 00:25:11.842
I don't see it look like a referee.

00:25:12.383 --> 00:25:19.556
I'm sorry this way so you, when you're looking down on it, you can see more.

00:25:19.556 --> 00:25:32.291
It's all blurry sorry, it's like looking through a picket fence well, they have another version now, where they took this cross and they put it this way, so it it runs front to back, not across.

00:25:32.291 --> 00:25:39.230
Uh, it's called the the versan 90 because they turned it 90 degrees, that's another one.

00:25:39.230 --> 00:25:42.144
That looks really nice.

00:25:42.144 --> 00:25:43.528
It's the only version of that one so far.

00:25:43.528 --> 00:25:50.724
If you like the feel of a blade with the performance of a mallet, check it out.

00:25:52.800 --> 00:25:54.184
And the head cover of a mallet.

00:25:54.184 --> 00:25:55.667
I got that one.

00:25:56.932 --> 00:25:57.923
I mean, that is pretty cool.

00:25:57.943 --> 00:25:58.710
That's a mallet head cover of a mallet.

00:25:58.730 --> 00:25:59.032
I got that one.

00:25:59.032 --> 00:25:59.819
I mean, that is a pretty cool, come on.

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:03.285
Yeah, that's a mallet, head cover, absolutely massive.

00:26:04.087 --> 00:26:07.826
It's huge, it's not that big Look, it's smaller than my hand.

00:26:08.840 --> 00:26:09.983
You got small hands.

00:26:09.983 --> 00:26:10.885
You got small hands.

00:26:11.106 --> 00:26:11.769
I don't have big.

00:26:11.769 --> 00:26:15.104
Yeah, that's what I'm saying I've got small hands and it doesn't cover it up.

00:26:15.104 --> 00:26:15.865
It's not that big.

00:26:16.547 --> 00:26:17.308
It's very big.

00:26:19.071 --> 00:26:19.973
Here more toys.

00:26:22.301 --> 00:26:24.255
Can you wrap your whole?

00:26:24.275 --> 00:26:24.939
hand around your putter grip.

00:26:24.939 --> 00:26:30.632
Let's see you mean like that.

00:26:31.861 --> 00:26:32.884
Yeah.

00:26:32.884 --> 00:26:40.726
It looked really big before when you showed it, but I guess it's just a normal oversized one as big as your head.

00:26:41.327 --> 00:26:42.790
It's not that big.

00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:47.721
Can you use it?

00:26:47.741 --> 00:26:49.105
as a pillow in a jam Travel pillow.

00:26:49.105 --> 00:26:50.869
Oh, I like that idea.

00:26:53.461 --> 00:26:54.720
Definitely hangs over the edge of your back, that's for sure.

00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:56.026
Tuck yourself in with the Velcro.

00:26:57.723 --> 00:27:01.904
So here for everybody watching uh, this is an old crank driver.

00:27:01.904 --> 00:27:05.433
This is many, many uh versions ago.

00:27:05.433 --> 00:27:09.401
They have 18 different drivers that they've done in their existence.

00:27:09.401 --> 00:27:13.005
Uh, so I I've had this one in the garage miles.

00:27:13.325 --> 00:27:35.976
Most recently used this when he was out with us yeah yeah, so a very fun conversation I had with Lance and here let's share a little clip from the show that's going to come out this Friday 55, 60, 65, 70-year-old guys and girls.

00:27:35.976 --> 00:27:37.702
65, 70 year old guys and girls.

00:27:37.702 --> 00:27:45.173
And when you're winning those age brackets, there should be more relevance to saying, hey, you know what these drivers are really special.

00:27:45.173 --> 00:27:49.848
If they hit straight and long, why can't you use them in golf?

00:27:49.848 --> 00:27:50.292
And they were.

00:27:50.292 --> 00:27:57.445
You know, we were always conforming on USJ, but not a lot of people knew that and not a lot of people look at long drive as a golf.

00:27:57.445 --> 00:27:58.528
I often wonder.

00:27:58.528 --> 00:28:01.013
I said you know these guys are hitting drivers, not hockey sticks.

00:28:03.883 --> 00:28:05.392
So it was like I said earlier.

00:28:05.392 --> 00:28:06.660
It's a fun conversation.

00:28:06.660 --> 00:28:13.453
If you're not familiar with the brand and what crank is all about, please check out that episode.

00:28:13.453 --> 00:28:14.746
It's going to be out on Friday.

00:28:14.746 --> 00:28:22.066
It'll be an audio format on the podcast and I'm going to post a YouTube version of it as well so you can watch the interview.

00:28:22.066 --> 00:28:25.067
Did you know that they make fairway woods?

00:28:26.681 --> 00:28:27.303
No clue.

00:28:27.303 --> 00:28:29.281
I think Trevor used to play one.

00:28:29.703 --> 00:28:32.125
And not just one.

00:28:32.125 --> 00:28:38.249
They make a bunch of fairway woods, but that's Drivers, and fairway woods are what they do.

00:28:38.249 --> 00:28:39.462
They're not going anywhere else.

00:28:39.462 --> 00:28:43.803
They're not going into irons, they're not making golf balls did you ask?

00:28:44.124 --> 00:28:50.674
did you ask him if they seen an explosion, since bryson put one in his bag?

00:28:50.674 --> 00:28:59.277
Yeah, we talk about bryson all right, you're gonna have to listen then you going to have to listen then You're going to have to listen, tune in.

00:29:10.642 --> 00:29:19.386
It's a fun conversation because Bryson right now is working with LAGP on a new driver that he is helping design, but right now in his bag he still has the crank stuff.

00:29:19.386 --> 00:29:21.050
So he has a crank driver, three wood and five wood.

00:29:22.181 --> 00:29:25.530
So it's a it's a, it was a fun conversation.

00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.890
Lance is an incredible golf nerd, like we are, and I told him.

00:29:29.890 --> 00:29:39.092
I said you know it's, it's so much fun when we can get people on that just like to nerd out on on stuff, and and it was a very enjoyable conversation.

00:29:39.092 --> 00:29:44.648
