What is up everybody?
00:00:36.959 --> 00:00:49.741
Welcome to another episode of the chasing daylight podcast, episode 288, coming to you live this week from the same place we come live every week las vegas, nevada.
00:00:49.741 --> 00:00:54.015
We are a vegas golf podcast, but we cover more things than just vegas.
00:00:54.015 --> 00:00:55.299
You tuned in lately.
00:00:55.299 --> 00:00:56.542
You heard a lot about bandon.
00:00:56.542 --> 00:00:59.771
Now that bandon's over, you're gonna hear a lot about other stuff.
00:00:59.771 --> 00:01:02.923
A lot of it will be vegas based, some, some of it won't.
00:01:02.923 --> 00:01:06.006
And Banton, what's that?
00:01:06.906 --> 00:01:07.346
Banton.
00:01:07.346 --> 00:01:10.028
It's inevitable that we talk about Banton oh absolutely.
00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:12.871
Yeah, that's a no-brainer, especially with Joe on the show.
00:01:12.871 --> 00:01:15.995
But we've got some other stuff to talk about tonight.
00:01:15.995 --> 00:01:17.777
We've got the FedEx Cup coming up.
00:01:17.777 --> 00:01:18.376
Oh, look at that.
00:01:18.376 --> 00:01:22.290
Adam Simpson joined the show early, not in the last five minutes.
00:01:22.290 --> 00:01:27.540
What is up, mr simpson?
00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:29.004
Uh, so we're going to be talking about the fedex cup.
00:01:29.004 --> 00:01:36.424
Um, the season long race for the fedex cup, with the playoffs that doesn't determine who the season long winner is.
00:01:36.424 --> 00:01:38.989
Uh, coyote springs we were out there.
00:01:38.989 --> 00:01:42.501
Um, I actually used that new canon range finders.
00:01:42.501 --> 00:01:43.203
Talk about that.
00:01:43.203 --> 00:01:48.493
Um, I've got an idea what I think would be a good idea for the FedEx cup.
00:01:48.493 --> 00:01:49.944
I had an idea last year.
00:01:49.944 --> 00:01:53.504
Don't really agree with it much anymore, so I got a new idea.
00:01:53.926 --> 00:01:54.367
Yeah.
00:01:55.561 --> 00:02:06.391
The VGN is headed out to Utah and we're gonna have a weather update with Maddie G and there's a huge error in the audio Cause I didn't check it until I uploaded it and it was too late to get him to do another one because it's way past his bedtime.
00:02:06.391 --> 00:02:09.500
So, uh, we got all that going on tonight.
00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:10.924
How are you guys doing this evening?
00:02:10.924 --> 00:02:14.693

My dad used to say I can't hear your head nod.
00:02:29.087 --> 00:02:30.348
That's my daughter's like to do that.
00:02:30.348 --> 00:02:31.569
I'm sitting on the couch by the TV.
00:02:31.569 --> 00:02:33.831
I'm like, come here and they stand, come, stand behind me.
00:02:33.831 --> 00:02:37.713

00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:43.796
This evening.
00:02:43.796 --> 00:02:44.865

Thank you, joe, I love it.
00:02:45.133 --> 00:02:47.895
I'm very excited to get to Sky Mountain at a VGN event.
00:02:47.895 --> 00:02:50.328
I haven't played golf since Bannon, so I'm super excited.
00:02:50.328 --> 00:02:54.330
I haven't even hit my persimmon from Larson yet, so I'm bringing that out.
00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:57.929
And yeah, my knee feels a lot better, so I'm ready to go.
00:02:58.530 --> 00:03:04.330
Nice, nice, um, how, uh, as I say, how is the knee, the knee, good.
00:03:04.431 --> 00:03:06.162
It's uh, yeah, it's great I don't.
00:03:06.162 --> 00:03:07.807
I don't feel any pain anymore.
00:03:07.807 --> 00:03:10.848
Uh, it disappeared, maybe on like Friday.
00:03:10.848 --> 00:03:11.721
Um.
00:03:11.721 --> 00:03:13.388
So, yeah, knee feels great.
00:03:13.388 --> 00:03:18.151
It just took uh two weeks of rest, maybe, I guess.
00:03:18.151 --> 00:03:24.391
Maybe I have like some shattered bone in there, but maybe it just became part of the body.
00:03:24.451 --> 00:03:24.832
I don't know.
00:03:24.832 --> 00:03:26.383
I still need to became part of the body.
00:03:26.402 --> 00:03:28.790
I don't know I still need to post the airport walk.
00:03:28.790 --> 00:03:30.616
Yeah, you do need to, yeah yeah, post the airport walk.
00:03:30.635 --> 00:03:35.147
That was too funny yeah, it was a tough one I got some bad news about my knee.
00:03:35.829 --> 00:03:38.373
Um been trying to rehab.
00:03:38.373 --> 00:03:42.325
This thing went to somebody who we won't mention.
00:03:42.325 --> 00:03:53.010
That I was really excited about but turned out not to be for me Then been going to see Dr Dumbler for a while now trying to get it figured out.
00:03:53.010 --> 00:03:57.271
Once the rehab that we were doing was not working, I got in touch.
00:03:57.271 --> 00:04:01.588
He got in touch with his orthopedic specialist and went and saw her.
00:04:01.609 --> 00:04:08.360
Dr Rhonda and they got an MRI approved because it was denied last time.
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:21.420
They got it approved, had the mri when we got back from bandon, went in last thursday and got the results and I have a severe tear of my interior meniscus so that is why I have been in so much pain.
00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:26.740
Hallelujah, yeah, right, at least I know what it is now at least you know what it is.
00:04:26.781 --> 00:04:28.668
Yeah, I know what it is now um.
00:04:28.668 --> 00:04:30.233
She acted like you know.
00:04:30.233 --> 00:04:35.367
Meniscus repair surgery is something she, you know, does on during car coffee breaks.
00:04:35.367 --> 00:04:38.701
It's like oh yeah, we're just gonna go in and then we're good to go.
00:04:38.701 --> 00:04:55.545
So I'm gonna wait until, uh, probably nove November to get that done, depending on if I make the VGA finals or not, looking forward to hopefully not having any more left knee pain in my life.
00:04:57.350 --> 00:04:57.651
Dang.
00:04:58.281 --> 00:05:08.470
That would be nice Some of us were out at Coyote Springs and played Saturday.
00:05:08.470 --> 00:05:11.040
Jeremy dan played out there sunday.
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.567
I was chatting with dan a little bit before we got started here.
00:05:13.567 --> 00:05:14.670
Jeremy, what was?
00:05:14.670 --> 00:05:16.903
What was your thoughts on the greens?
00:05:16.903 --> 00:05:20.673
Because the course was in good shape, not gonna, I mean, to your green.
00:05:20.673 --> 00:05:24.226
The course was in good shape, wasn't bad weather, was windy as hell.
00:05:24.226 --> 00:05:28.093
I know you guys had it really bad because it was crazy windy in the valley Sunday.
00:05:28.093 --> 00:05:29.565
What did you think about the greens?
00:05:32.882 --> 00:05:33.747
They rolled.
00:05:33.747 --> 00:05:36.829
I would say they were probably a 6 out of 10.
00:05:36.829 --> 00:05:41.204
They rolled fairly well, but there's a lot of ball marks.
00:05:41.225 --> 00:05:42.708
Oh, my God, so many ball marks.
00:05:42.708 --> 00:05:45.612
I was fixing ball marks, oh my god, so many ball marks.
00:05:45.612 --> 00:05:46.875
I was fixing ball marks like crazy.
00:05:48.463 --> 00:05:52.009
Have you played the new Long Neck Scotty Jet Black yet, or what?
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:53.586
It's still wrapped in plastic.
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:54.944
Did you take it out?
00:05:55.266 --> 00:05:58.887
He's scared, I don't know.
00:05:58.887 --> 00:06:01.747
I'm really not that excited about that honestly.
00:06:01.747 --> 00:06:02.891
Buyer's remorse.
00:06:02.891 --> 00:06:08.963
I mean I could sell it for more, but if someone wanted to buy it for the same amount I probably would.
00:06:09.124 --> 00:06:14.867
But he's trying to get one of us to buy it Christmas is coming up.
00:06:14.906 --> 00:06:16.725
Jeremy, christmas is coming up.
00:06:16.725 --> 00:06:22.519
I'll give you the box to wrap it for me too, if you need it maybe I'll do one of those auctions for it.
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:29.165
It's like $25 a entry hey, a little vgn donation yeah, yeah, donate it to the vgn.
00:06:29.206 --> 00:06:38.913
Anything over the price we'll uh throw to the vgn and get you your money back yeah, I, I think mostly like when I'm looking down at it, it looks the same, exact.
00:06:38.913 --> 00:06:50.269
You know, just like that, my gamer that I've been playing for three years or whatever, and the only I probably would notice it if I was actually putting with it, but it just looks so similar.
00:06:50.269 --> 00:07:02.807
It's like yeah, it's almost like I bought another putter that I'm already using, so that you already have yeah, but obviously when you look at it from the side, it's totally different jay, your your gamer.
00:07:02.826 --> 00:07:03.107
Right now.
00:07:03.107 --> 00:07:05.130
Is it the Jet Set, mm-hmm.
00:07:07.355 --> 00:07:08.644
Yeah, I could see that.
00:07:10.002 --> 00:07:13.910
I could see how it is looking down at the exact same thing.
00:07:13.910 --> 00:07:21.209
I've been tinkering with the long neck the last couple days in the backyard, just working on some things.
00:07:21.209 --> 00:07:29.545
Here we go, just working on some things, working on what the jailbird is in the bag for tomorrow's round.
00:07:29.545 --> 00:07:32.752
So nothing extreme, but just just.
00:07:32.752 --> 00:07:45.759
You know, I I like analyzing things and I saw something the other day and when I was in the garage doing some stuff and it just got me thinking.
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:58.951
So I went down this wormhole of lie angles and where the ball is compared to where the shaft is, and just was spiraling.
00:07:58.951 --> 00:08:04.269
And you know it's fun, I enjoy it, tinkering and tinkering.
00:08:04.269 --> 00:08:07.670
It wasn't stress induced, it was not.
00:08:07.670 --> 00:08:12.952
I need to change something, it was, hmm, I wonder.
00:08:13.274 --> 00:08:33.607
So, uh, yeah, I've been, I've been messing around the backyard with you know four different butters, just having some fun tinkering I think one of the things like with uh, yeah, with the long neck, I think, I think, because I don't have a long neck, I've always wanted one it just feels like a little different, you know, and it's like, hey, I'm out here, I'm, I'm being different.
00:08:33.607 --> 00:08:47.587
You know, you're not like me, you don't have a long neck, and uh, I got a long neck and I'm cool it's true, and I I think I've always had like more of a straight back, straight through putting stroke.
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:49.926
I've never tried anything.
00:08:49.926 --> 00:08:51.086
I hate mallets.
00:08:52.062 --> 00:08:53.850
Yeah, same thing, I hate mallets.
00:08:55.498 --> 00:08:57.164
Mostly because of the head cover situation.
00:08:57.164 --> 00:09:00.563
Yes, maybe the long neck.
00:09:00.563 --> 00:09:02.750
Maybe I'll throw it in the bag and we'll try it out and see.
00:09:03.020 --> 00:09:03.985
Maybe that's the magic.
00:09:03.985 --> 00:09:06.408
Billy Finkel's on herey fingal in the house.
00:09:06.408 --> 00:09:14.432
What up, thanks for tuning in all right losing chichi was tough uh, but here we go before.
00:09:14.514 --> 00:09:21.248

00:09:33.212 --> 00:09:36.567
I was talking to brian or about it, but yeah, really interesting all right.
00:09:36.607 --> 00:09:38.600
He says uh, can I guess first?
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:56.190

00:09:58.754 --> 00:10:08.807
Um, I'm not bashful about I always post mine, so but these guys, you, you probably may have an issue, but hey, adam wanted to know too.
00:10:08.807 --> 00:10:10.738
He's been out, uh, hasn't been out to coding a while.
00:10:10.738 --> 00:10:11.782
Has it lost some of its touch?
00:10:11.782 --> 00:10:12.201
I?
00:10:12.243 --> 00:10:14.086
don't think so no, I think.
00:10:14.267 --> 00:10:19.125
I think coyote is what it is and everybody knows all right, it's a great golf course.
00:10:19.267 --> 00:10:21.572
I know, uh, chris torres got out there for the first time.
00:10:21.572 --> 00:10:24.105
I've been telling him to get out there forever.
00:10:24.105 --> 00:10:30.360
He finally went out there and he's like, yeah, beat my ass, it's not for the faint of heart man.
00:10:31.062 --> 00:10:32.126
It does that to a lot of people.
00:10:32.609 --> 00:10:42.039
Whoa, hey, wow, oh, wow, tinker man, yeah, I love that Jeremy's at 12.

That's funny.
00:10:46.743 --> 00:10:47.714

I'm probably, like I'm probably.
00:11:02.157 --> 00:11:04.125
He's probably right at an 8.6 though.
00:11:04.267 --> 00:11:08.380
So let's see, yeah, I'm probably like I'm probably, he's probably right at an 8.6, though, so Well as of late.

You're a first-time listener yes, yeah what's your handicap bill.
00:12:04.346 --> 00:12:05.710
Let's hear what your handicap is.
00:12:06.030 --> 00:12:06.972
And where are?
00:12:06.993 --> 00:12:07.354
you from?
00:12:07.354 --> 00:12:10.845
How'd you hear about the show?
00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:13.827
That's always a good question to new listeners.
00:12:13.827 --> 00:12:20.426
So yeah, coyote Springs, I don't think it's.
00:12:20.426 --> 00:12:22.485
You know what we're going to find out.
00:12:22.485 --> 00:12:24.326
We're doing Mitch's Revenge again.
00:12:24.326 --> 00:12:25.260
We signed up for that.
00:12:25.260 --> 00:12:27.325
So I think it's you know what we're going to find out.
00:12:27.325 --> 00:12:28.748
We're doing mitch's revenge again.
00:12:28.748 --> 00:12:29.469
We signed up for that.
00:12:29.469 --> 00:12:33.480
Um, so I think mitch's revenge has been a staple event for coyote springs for many years.
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.149
It kind of lost its luster when the old people left and when troon took over.
00:12:37.149 --> 00:12:44.010
Um, so we'll see I I think they may have got some flack back from people.
00:12:44.191 --> 00:12:45.472
Probably Did they not do it?
00:12:45.514 --> 00:12:53.269
last year I don't think they did it last year yeah, it was probably like a year and a half ago when the new GM took over, right.
00:12:54.441 --> 00:13:04.143
Well, I recall playing in what we thought was a Mitch's Revenge, but they didn't have the flags in some very crazy spots, but I'm not quite sure when that was.
00:13:04.143 --> 00:13:05.426
Was that last year, two years ago?
00:13:05.466 --> 00:13:07.269
That was two years ago, yeah.
00:13:07.288 --> 00:13:07.789
That was not.
00:13:07.789 --> 00:13:09.494
That was not Mitch's revenge at all.
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:15.344
That was just coyote from the tips.
00:13:15.364 --> 00:13:18.630
I was just Mitch, yeah, so hopefully hopefully that, uh, that comes back.
00:13:18.791 --> 00:13:26.427
Um, so the the cannon range finder.
00:13:26.427 --> 00:13:27.855
I really enjoyed it.
00:13:27.855 --> 00:13:28.719
It's accurate, it's quick.
00:13:28.719 --> 00:13:43.551
I think there could be some adjustments to how you view it, because it's like a camera and if it's off a little bit, the what's this?
00:13:43.551 --> 00:13:44.673
Dan is a Raiders fan.
00:13:44.673 --> 00:13:56.477
I changed my kiss to 36.5, but it's like if you know you have the exposure too high, um it, it can mess things up.
00:13:56.477 --> 00:13:59.062
So I think there's a little tweaking that could be done with that.
00:13:59.062 --> 00:14:01.490
But it's super, super accurate.
00:14:01.490 --> 00:14:08.861
As far as the numbers I was comparing, uh, matt boyd had his and we were going off the GPS on the carts.
00:14:08.861 --> 00:14:10.466
It was dead on.
00:14:10.466 --> 00:14:11.610
It's super fast.
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:13.907
The videos that it took were really good.
00:14:13.907 --> 00:14:15.966
The photos it took were really good.
00:14:15.966 --> 00:14:21.966
I like the fact that you can have the yardage on or off when you record Video.
00:14:21.966 --> 00:14:30.243
Only is with, the yardage is off, but the battery battery, it's still fully charged.
00:14:30.243 --> 00:14:32.567
It still shows, you know, full bars after a round and I used a lot.
00:14:32.567 --> 00:14:35.261
I mean, I used it a lot just trying to test it.
00:14:36.063 --> 00:14:37.566
Um, it's like I said, it's super tiny.
00:14:37.566 --> 00:14:39.730
It, uh, it fits.
00:14:39.730 --> 00:14:42.120
You know, it's the size of my wallet.
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:49.605
It's super small, um, so of course you're always concerned about losing it, but I had it in my pocket a couple of times because I walked my ball and I just threw it in my pocket.
00:14:49.605 --> 00:14:51.595
It's no issue whatsoever.
00:14:51.595 --> 00:14:54.063
It's not like bulky or anything sticking out, uh.
00:14:54.063 --> 00:14:55.407
But the it came with a little.
00:14:55.407 --> 00:15:09.327
You know how most range finders come with a little case and the case has a Velcro strap on the back, and so I just wrapped it around the post on the golf cart and I posted a picture of that and uh, it worked perfect, worked absolutely perfect.
00:15:09.327 --> 00:15:10.932
It was almost like it was magnetic.
00:15:10.932 --> 00:15:15.673
So, um, so far the reviews are good I think it's interesting.
00:15:15.734 --> 00:15:16.075
I mean it.
00:15:16.075 --> 00:15:18.201
You know some innovation there.
00:15:18.201 --> 00:15:22.809
I mean I didn't know no other range finder that I know of.
00:15:22.809 --> 00:15:25.134
Is taking pictures through the range finder.
00:15:25.134 --> 00:15:28.924
Expecting that from Canon?
00:15:28.924 --> 00:15:29.648
Great idea.
00:15:29.648 --> 00:15:30.884
I never would have thought of that.
00:15:30.884 --> 00:15:36.191
But shout out, the R&D and innovation team at Canon Sounds great.
00:15:36.191 --> 00:15:37.653
It looks small.
00:15:37.653 --> 00:15:39.480
I do need a new range finder myself.
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:46.966
But did you see Tyler's Fade and Fairway post Golf conspiracies.
00:15:48.100 --> 00:15:49.547
Oh yeah, about the magnet, yeah.
00:15:50.842 --> 00:15:52.327
I don't think that's true, right.
