Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of the Chasing Daylight podcast.
00:00:17.176 --> 00:00:32.271
You know, last week we started off the show with a little little buzzer noise and, joe, i don't know if you readily have that available, but I mean back to back weeks with a solid VGK opening to the show.
00:00:32.951 --> 00:00:36.204
This, Yo Brooks.
00:00:36.204 --> 00:00:38.951
How about them peas, huh, VGK all day.
00:00:38.951 --> 00:00:42.628
Go hang out at the elbow room and watch these L's bro.
00:00:42.628 --> 00:00:44.593
Peace Go, nice go.
00:00:45.421 --> 00:00:46.003
Go, nice go.
00:00:46.003 --> 00:00:51.487
Another fantastic win for the boys Big time.
00:00:51.828 --> 00:00:53.692
Oh man, big win, let's go.
00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:02.607
We're a golf podcast but just gonna have to give us a minute here, because this is the first time the Knights have ever won two games in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
00:01:02.929 --> 00:01:03.390
Two more.
00:01:04.141 --> 00:01:14.114
Yeah, we got two to go A little road trip down to South Beach and, man, they are looking really good right now And I was texting Joe.
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.206
Boys were dialed, man Boys were dialed.
00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:24.302
I said, I think what is impressed me most is they are not backing down from the heavy hits.
00:01:24.302 --> 00:01:41.572
In the past, you know, the Knights have been not a very aggressive team and have kind of not played well against big, fast, hard hitting teams and they are holding their own and they're not backing down, they're playing.
00:01:41.593 --> 00:01:50.066
so good right now, oh my goodness, they here's one thing is is in 2018, we hoped they'd win, and then this time, we expect them to win.
00:01:50.066 --> 00:01:53.287
Yeah, especially after these first two performances.
00:01:53.287 --> 00:01:53.649
Yeah.
00:01:54.540 --> 00:01:56.605
And the fact that they're a better road team than they are home team.
00:01:56.605 --> 00:02:03.406
Mm, hmm, yeah, so yeah let's Motherfucking realm, let's go.
00:02:03.406 --> 00:02:06.659
Saturday could be the day.
00:02:06.659 --> 00:02:10.830
I mean I don't like saying that we're going to one game at a time.
00:02:10.830 --> 00:02:12.466
We're going to take one at a time.
00:02:12.466 --> 00:02:17.360
Let's get this next one And yeah, wow.
00:02:17.700 --> 00:02:18.403
What an exciting game.
00:02:18.664 --> 00:02:20.884
Ok, that's all I got for.
00:02:20.884 --> 00:02:23.189
Well, i mean, we could probably talk another hour about hockey.
00:02:23.189 --> 00:02:24.275
I'm sure we could.
00:02:24.275 --> 00:02:27.368
Jeremy Adam found out quickly tonight.
00:02:27.368 --> 00:02:30.587
Jeremy knows nothing about hockey, nothing.
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:32.562
I mean I'm learning every game I watch.
00:02:32.562 --> 00:02:36.722
I my knowledge advances, but still it's just watching.
00:02:36.722 --> 00:02:38.582
I don't even know.
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.286
This is the best time to watch hockey.
00:02:41.828 --> 00:02:46.606
It is pretty exciting, it is the hockey is the greatest playoff sport to watch.
00:02:46.606 --> 00:02:50.114
hands, hands down, no question about it.
00:02:50.114 --> 00:02:54.949
It is the best playoff game you'll watch ever.
00:02:54.949 --> 00:02:56.170
It's great.
00:02:56.592 --> 00:02:57.373
It's so intense.
00:02:58.140 --> 00:03:00.929
There's so much quick, quick line.
00:03:00.929 --> 00:03:05.522
Things can change on a dime like It's amazing.
00:03:07.281 --> 00:03:09.788
And did you see the Raiders?
00:03:09.788 --> 00:03:16.849
receiver Devonte Adams was in the crowd and they interviewed him and the horn in the before the third, i believe.
00:03:16.991 --> 00:03:17.491
Oh did he OK.
00:03:19.460 --> 00:03:20.919
I think I saw another beef with that.
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:21.883
Let's come back to that in a second.
00:03:21.883 --> 00:03:37.629
Him saying, being here and watching them and the athleticism and the hits that they take every time they're out there and then getting back right on the ice and it happening again and again says the athleticism is just amazing.
00:03:37.629 --> 00:03:47.548
And then the fact that you you're on ice skates and you're trying to control a moving puck with a stick while other guys are trying to rip your heads off, i mean it's impressive.
00:03:47.548 --> 00:03:54.070
And seeing an athlete of his caliber just being all was was amazing.
00:03:54.070 --> 00:03:59.443
So, yeah, the ringing of the horn at the beginning, i text Joe, i go.
00:03:59.443 --> 00:04:01.710
Wayne Newton looks like a bad AI submission.
00:04:01.710 --> 00:04:06.306
Oh my God, erica was like.
00:04:06.306 --> 00:04:08.009

I get.
00:04:10.901 --> 00:04:17.504
Wayne Newton's been around for a really long time and was amazing for this town in the 70s And you know.
00:04:17.504 --> 00:04:20.281

00:04:23.682 --> 00:04:23.903
England.
00:04:23.903 --> 00:04:26.809
Why can't we get Derek England to ring the damn bell?
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.708
Sure, let's get Golden Pipes to ring the fucking horn.
00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:38.112
Did you see how the the TNT botched his name on the close caption?
00:04:38.112 --> 00:04:40.285
I know It was terrible.
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:43.964
It looks like Michael Myers.
00:04:43.964 --> 00:04:47.822
I don't think you can see it, but what the hell Yeah.
00:04:48.043 --> 00:04:51.548

Oh it's, it's so bad.
00:05:04.507 --> 00:05:07.266

Let's resurrect him.
00:06:20.761 --> 00:06:22.187
So many good things that could take place.
00:06:22.187 --> 00:06:28.341
Hopefully, you know, we don't have to have somebody else freeing it this season, but if we do, can we get somebody that I mean?
00:06:28.341 --> 00:06:31.367
I'm sorry, derek, england is no brainer.

All right?
00:06:37.262 --> 00:06:38.024
Yeah, i think so.
00:06:38.024 --> 00:06:39.382
Let's move on to golf.
00:06:39.382 --> 00:07:15.346
So, as I was doing a little research on stuff we can talk about tonight, they had the final US Open qualifying list up on the PGA tour website And Harry I didn't know this because he was at the game Saturday night and then hopped on a red eye Flew to Toronto because he had to get a practice round in for his qualifier today And he beat Jimmy Walker to be the first alternate.
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:37.531
So if someone from the three players that made it from his section of one of them can't, then he's in 64 and 70 he shot One one stroke, missed it by one stroke And there, yeah, so don't know if Harry will be in the US open in a couple of weeks, but You never know.
00:07:37.531 --> 00:07:38.803
You never know.
00:07:38.803 --> 00:07:43.988
And I mean I was going down the list.
00:07:43.988 --> 00:07:46.803
Let me bring up some of the list of the players that did not make it.
00:07:46.803 --> 00:07:54.550
Wow, i mean, there was a ton of PGA tour guys that were doing this.
00:07:54.550 --> 00:08:00.805
So in Tacoma, washington, they didn't show the people that didn't make it there.
00:08:00.805 --> 00:08:11.144
Oh, notables from Springfield, ohio, cramer Hickok, troy Merritt, robert Strabb, jj Spahn, mark Hubbard, brian Stewart, zach Blair None of the guys made it.
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.548
And Durham, north Carolina, notables Chase and Hadley, spencer Levine they didn't make it.
00:08:18.548 --> 00:08:29.168
Rockville, maryland Mark Leishman, joseph Bramlett did not make it.
00:08:29.168 --> 00:08:31.278
And let's see Columbus, ohio.
00:08:31.278 --> 00:08:48.471
They took 11 spots from the Columbus Ohio, 103 players played Cameron Champ, ben Griffin, aaron Badley, willie McGirt, kevin Tway, peter Melnotti, nick Watney, david Langworth all did not make it.

Ted Potter Jr Yeah, there's.
00:08:58.889 --> 00:09:03.720
I mean I was surprised at how many tour players that you know.
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.414
Let's see, kelly Kraft was in this.
00:09:07.414 --> 00:09:11.817
One person that did make it Michael Thorb.
00:09:11.817 --> 00:09:15.919
Thorb Jornsson, the amateur, he made it.
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.739
I'm a suppressed in summer haze.
00:09:18.243 --> 00:09:19.832
I mean I was following Monday Q info the Instagram.
00:09:19.832 --> 00:09:27.720
He was posting all kinds of stuff but Preston Summer Hayes hit that eagle putt to make it in, which was pretty awesome.
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:28.184
Oh, nice Yeah.
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:34.798
Where was he playing out of I do not know, i just look at the notables that made it.
00:09:34.798 --> 00:09:37.558
I should probably do that just as much as the people who didn't.
00:09:37.558 --> 00:09:39.678
I don't know I get more interested with that.
00:09:39.678 --> 00:09:46.697
See Taylor Pintreth, nick Hardy, dylan Wu, they all made it.
00:09:46.697 --> 00:09:51.220
Doc Redmond is a second alternate.
00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:52.605
I don't see Interesting day.
00:09:52.605 --> 00:09:58.240
I mean, it's one of those things that you can get into.
00:09:58.240 --> 00:09:59.639
You know, it's pretty crazy.
00:10:00.202 --> 00:10:01.268
Roger Stewart Sink made it.
00:10:07.668 --> 00:10:28.841
Kevin Strylman, nick Dunlap, lucas Glovers and Alternates the longest day of the year, and, and, and normally I watch a lot of this, but with the night's game on I I was not watching a lot of NHL network like over and over repeat the, the.
00:10:28.841 --> 00:10:31.947
It's nice because I don't remember well you know what.
00:10:31.947 --> 00:10:45.442
I really haven't cared about Stanley Cup finals last couple years, but the, the pregame, the hour long pregame on TNT and the day of the game and.
00:10:45.442 --> 00:10:52.173
I didn't know that and I said to him nice man, nice it's cool that they have a whole hour.
00:10:54.408 --> 00:11:05.504
Justin Johnson's father-in-law yeah, i told Adam, i said you need to get up to that section and give us a little VGN shout out getting behind the camera.
00:11:05.504 --> 00:11:06.793
But they had.
00:11:06.793 --> 00:11:07.840
They had a T-Mobile employees standing there today.
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:09.244
So, yeah, usf, fine.
00:11:09.244 --> 00:11:11.188
Us Open qualifying is done.
00:11:11.188 --> 00:11:15.109
As far as I know, i don't see any other events.
00:11:15.109 --> 00:11:17.022
Yes, that's final results.
00:11:17.022 --> 00:11:20.309
So that that's going to be, you know, an amazing tournament.
00:11:20.309 --> 00:11:21.312
That always is so.
00:11:21.312 --> 00:11:26.881
And I mean LA, that that course looks really cool.
00:11:26.881 --> 00:11:27.484
It doesn't it?
00:11:27.484 --> 00:11:30.871
don't look at it on Google Maps, because on Google Maps it does not look that good.
00:11:30.871 --> 00:11:33.388
It looks really bad because I think they were doing some renovate.
00:11:33.388 --> 00:11:37.509
But yeah, it's, it's going to be a good one.
00:11:37.509 --> 00:11:39.043
It's going to be a good one.
00:11:39.043 --> 00:11:42.221
So let's see.
00:11:42.221 --> 00:11:43.647

00:11:44.663 --> 00:11:49.409

Yep, i got out with Jake from Indiana.
00:12:01.330 --> 00:12:03.405
A little golf homie.
00:12:03.405 --> 00:12:07.899
Jp the golf homie had him hit me up because he was going to be in town.
00:12:07.899 --> 00:12:13.183
So I put with Jake and his buddy that actually lives here was a musician.
00:12:13.183 --> 00:12:19.068
I took a Madera Sinclair, also known as Black AM.
00:12:19.068 --> 00:12:22.894
You know, it's always weird like meeting up with people from Instagram.
00:12:22.894 --> 00:12:23.899
You know, you don't know how it's going to be.
00:12:23.899 --> 00:12:26.807
So it was cool.
00:12:26.807 --> 00:12:31.529
It was, luckily, everyone I've ever met off Instagram playing golf has been cool.
00:12:31.529 --> 00:12:33.970
Never had a bad experience, but it was.
00:12:33.970 --> 00:12:35.899
We went out to Angel Park, played in Mountain.
00:12:35.899 --> 00:12:37.830
It was the three of us.
00:12:37.830 --> 00:12:42.071
Angel Park is in really good shape right now and it was fun.
00:12:42.071 --> 00:12:43.155
It was.
00:12:43.155 --> 00:12:43.899
It was a good time.
00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:47.610
Didn't play great, but I hit some cool shots, great shots.
00:12:47.610 --> 00:12:48.683
So I enjoyed it.
00:12:48.683 --> 00:12:51.899
But I'm going to have to take a trip out to Indiana and visit Jake one of these days.
00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:53.443
I didn't know.
00:12:53.443 --> 00:12:55.811
He told me about the Pete Dye Trail.
00:12:55.811 --> 00:12:57.364
Have you heard about the Pete Dye Trail?
00:13:00.581 --> 00:13:03.188
I know there's some Pete Dye goodness out there, but I didn't know it was a trail.
00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:07.899
So Pete's from, i think I believe Pete's from Indiana and there's a Pete Dye trail.
00:13:07.899 --> 00:13:23.145
If you complete the trail they give you like a Pete Dye, like trail flag or something like that oh sick which includes French lick, and he's a member out at Maple Creek, which is Pete Dye's first golf course ever built which was interesting, so tripped in.
00:13:23.186 --> 00:13:25.277
You got a rain flag from I did.
00:13:25.297 --> 00:13:29.130
I did mention that, yeah, but no, that's.
00:13:29.130 --> 00:13:33.764
I definitely want to go play French lick one of these days, and you know so, we know someone out there.
00:13:33.764 --> 00:13:37.264
So one of these days off to get out there, jake, nice playing with you guys.
00:13:37.264 --> 00:13:41.684
Hopefully we can do it again soon yeah, i actually was gonna.
00:13:41.705 --> 00:13:52.672
I was like because we were done, because we Bob, stephen and Favs, we all played Sienna that morning.
00:13:52.672 --> 00:13:54.445
We had a 620 tee time.
00:13:54.445 --> 00:13:55.589
We were done in three and a half.
00:13:55.589 --> 00:14:05.224
I mean nice, and there was a old group of guys behind us that were like pushing us, you know, i mean they were on our.
00:14:05.224 --> 00:14:06.908
They were on our heels all day long.
00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:09.389
We gotta catch Maury?
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:11.043
yeah, i mean they were.
00:14:11.043 --> 00:14:25.630
Of course they were playing the up as much as they probably could, but all of them were just pepper in the center of the fairway, in the middle of the green it was all dudes man yeah, and they were, they were on us, we get ahead of them and we're like, okay, we can breathe a little bit.
00:14:25.691 --> 00:14:26.895
Then, sure enough, there they are.
00:14:26.895 --> 00:14:28.804
I was like, good lord, we just saw you hit your tee shots.
00:14:28.804 --> 00:14:34.610
But I sent an email out today to everybody in the BGN.
00:14:34.610 --> 00:14:36.965
Sienna is in good shape.
00:14:36.965 --> 00:14:39.770
It's not in bad shape.
00:14:39.770 --> 00:14:48.428
There's a couple issues, and Sean Road mentioned this to me before we played and then I didn't see it when we played.
00:14:48.769 --> 00:14:53.129
The three of us played out there, but saw some of it this last last Friday.
00:14:53.129 --> 00:14:57.397
Some of the bunkers are perfect.
00:14:57.397 --> 00:15:18.484
They're fine, but there are a few that are not and it's very deceptive because they look perfect and then you hit out of it and it's terrible, just hard pan and you know, and it's, it feels deep in your feet and it's just not so.
00:15:18.484 --> 00:15:21.672
I sent an email out to everybody saying, hey, you know what we're gonna do.
00:15:21.672 --> 00:15:33.125
You can lift your ball, rake it to get a legit sand surface, you know, unless it's plugged in some softer, of course but and then put your ball back and hit out of it.
00:15:33.125 --> 00:15:35.350
Because I mean it was ridiculous.
00:15:36.321 --> 00:15:40.692
I got stuck in the bunker on 15 and I could not get out.
00:15:40.692 --> 00:15:41.461
I kept hitting the lip.
00:15:41.461 --> 00:15:49.966
It just kept on blading right in the lip and Bob was 10 feet to the right of me and he, one swing, pops it up and almost holds it.
00:15:49.966 --> 00:15:59.028
And I'm like fuck you, bob, you know so that I went over and dropped my ball where he hit and it popped out perfectly and it's like I mean we were 8 feet apart.
00:15:59.028 --> 00:16:02.966
So that's something that everybody's gonna need to be aware of.
00:16:02.966 --> 00:16:16.289
And then also, because the heat is coming, they are watering in the morning and it is soggy like living rooster tails from your golf cart tires soggy.
00:16:16.289 --> 00:16:23.187
So I in the email I told everybody hey, if you come across one of these areas, it's borderline standing water.
00:16:23.187 --> 00:16:28.171
Just move it left, it right or back to find a dry spot, you know no closer to the hole.
00:16:28.171 --> 00:16:32.970
So have a little bit of modified rules for this event.
00:16:33.070 --> 00:16:35.485
But I mean otherwise, the greens were in great shape.
00:16:35.485 --> 00:16:44.129
I had myself a bang and a I sorry US team of me.
00:16:44.129 --> 00:16:53.899
I put the Ventus black TR back in the driver, went to the range and really found a little bit of consistency.
00:16:53.899 --> 00:17:05.128
So I put that in and I missed two fairways all day and with the new Dart V shafts iron for money.
00:17:05.128 --> 00:17:09.297
So I had one bogey on the front.
00:17:09.297 --> 00:17:16.733
The rest were pars had a couple birdies on the back, ended up with a 76 and a little chips.
00:17:16.733 --> 00:17:19.026
He entered a wrap up the round on 18.
00:17:19.026 --> 00:17:30.512
It was a good feeling, but I should have hit you up, joe, and come and come and play with you, because we were done, you know we have a spot and I know and I was like I got stuff I gotta do.
00:17:30.733 --> 00:17:31.719
Can I pull this off?
00:17:31.719 --> 00:17:38.527
36 or yeah right, i was sore enough on Saturday.
00:17:38.527 --> 00:17:42.307
The wife and I went play pickleball Thursday night.
00:17:42.307 --> 00:17:53.728
So I may go play pickleball Friday night, just to see if the pickleball activity is what got my body loose enough to play early morning round.
00:17:55.602 --> 00:18:06.189
But it should be the pickleball podcast so Erica is really getting into it, she's really enjoying it.
00:18:06.189 --> 00:18:09.030
Right, she's good.
00:18:09.030 --> 00:18:10.880
You know she's not pro, but she's good.
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:24.585
And so yesterday we were flipping channels before the golf started and they had the Texas Open pickleball championship, and so we were watching it and she was like, okay maybe I'm not as good as I think I am.
00:18:27.300 --> 00:18:28.986
But then they had a commercial.
00:18:28.986 --> 00:18:37.006
Skechers is one of the sponsors and Skechers has a pickleball line of shoes, which I thought was wild.
00:18:37.006 --> 00:18:44.042
But then Carvana is the tour sponsor and the Carvana commercial is a mom and her daughter.
00:18:44.042 --> 00:18:48.545
They're pickleball doubles partners and they're getting ready to go to a tournament.
