Um, I tell you, uh, I had a scare.
00:02:10.949 --> 00:02:12.530
I had a scare.
00:02:12.530 --> 00:02:15.472
I I thought I was done with golf for a while.
00:02:15.472 --> 00:02:16.532
Uh, it was.
00:02:16.532 --> 00:02:17.812
It was not pleasant.
00:02:17.812 --> 00:02:19.995
Um, I was hurt.
00:02:19.995 --> 00:02:21.616
I was hurt bad.
00:02:21.616 --> 00:02:30.921
I didn't do it golfing, I did it at a golf course working.
00:02:30.921 --> 00:02:32.905
Uh, my very first day with calloway, that was, that was a joy.
00:02:32.905 --> 00:02:40.745
Uh, thanks big much love to julian for shitting the, the, the majority of the workload.
00:02:40.745 --> 00:02:46.881
As far as hauling stuff back and forth to the car because I, I couldn't walk, it was, it was brutal.
00:02:46.881 --> 00:02:49.384
Something in my knee popped it.
00:02:50.026 --> 00:02:56.525
It was a pain I've never felt before wow I have, you know, tore the meniscus in my left knee.
00:02:56.525 --> 00:02:57.889
I know what that feels like.
00:02:57.889 --> 00:03:01.942
And, uh, I went to bandon with joe and did the solstice after that.
00:03:01.942 --> 00:03:04.728
So, uh, it was nothing like that.
00:03:04.728 --> 00:03:09.766
I, I couldn't, it was hard to walk and I drove home.
00:03:09.766 --> 00:03:15.860
I, I am not a cruise control guy and I put it on cruise and cruise the whole way home.
00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:21.032
Uh, because lifting my foot to touch the gas and brake was painful, what?
00:03:21.092 --> 00:03:21.772
course were you at?
00:03:21.772 --> 00:03:29.831
Tpc summerlin oh, okay, and you did it on the way in carrying this stuff to the yeah, so we were on the back of the range.
00:03:30.152 --> 00:03:31.638
Uh, they let me take the.
00:03:31.638 --> 00:03:33.021
I had everything in the atlas.
00:03:33.021 --> 00:03:35.067
Uh, they let me drive it.
00:03:35.067 --> 00:03:41.925
You know, between, uh, between the, the range and the chipping area, there's a road that goes back there.
00:03:41.925 --> 00:03:44.155
So we we drove the car back there.
00:03:44.155 --> 00:03:48.747
But the, where we were set up, was on the end of the range, that's close to the chipping area.
00:03:48.747 --> 00:03:58.448
They had all the other areas for the members and yeah so, and there's a car path that goes back there, but it was too narrow and I didn't want to block anybody from taking their cars over there.
00:03:58.448 --> 00:04:01.522
So we parked on the end and just unloaded right there.
00:04:01.522 --> 00:04:03.788
Then I moved the car to the desert and we just hauled everything over.
00:04:03.788 --> 00:04:15.010
So julian had the tent set up and I was hauling stuff back and forth and I just reached down and grabbed a bag to put it in place and shockwave it.
00:04:15.211 --> 00:04:16.834
It snapped, crackled, popped.
00:04:16.834 --> 00:04:18.762
I mean it was bad.
00:04:18.762 --> 00:04:21.766
And uh, I was like whoa.
00:04:21.766 --> 00:04:29.899
It, you know, sent a shock wave down my leg, up my leg, and I was like whoa and I kind of stood there for a second and, and just you know, flexed it back and forth.
00:04:29.899 --> 00:04:32.345
I'm like, okay, your knee's working, that's, that's good.
00:04:32.345 --> 00:04:38.343
Uh, that I tried to take a step and wasn't happening wasn't it just incredible pain?
00:04:38.785 --> 00:04:40.428
yeah, that sucks, but good news out of it.
00:04:40.428 --> 00:04:45.187
You got to see minwoo swing live in person, which is pretty rad dude?
00:04:45.509 --> 00:04:46.581
justin sub was there?
00:04:46.581 --> 00:04:49.028
Minwoo, was there another player?
00:04:49.028 --> 00:05:06.312
Um, I couldn't tell who it was, but they're all getting ready for napa this week um, yeah, julian's like hey, let's go get your picture with him I'm like maybe, maybe if I was joe, I'm not a big I know I don't do that either I'm just kidding.
00:05:06.353 --> 00:05:11.528
I know you're a fan younger, younger me definitely would have been just fanboying out.
00:05:11.528 --> 00:05:14.343
I've definitely settled down on that quite a bit.
00:05:14.343 --> 00:05:16.648
But you asked him to be on the podcast, right?
00:05:16.708 --> 00:05:20.904
so yeah, he, he was, he was uh he's confirmed had his track man.
00:05:20.904 --> 00:05:21.446
No, not yet.
00:05:21.446 --> 00:05:26.769
He had his track man out and was going through his bag and julian's like, oh, let, oh, let's go talk.
00:05:26.769 --> 00:05:31.074
And I said, no, let him work, he's working, we're working, he's working, let him work.
00:05:31.074 --> 00:05:32.600
And then we had a little talk.
00:05:32.620 --> 00:05:35.108
Julian is a good guy to have in that situation, for sure.
00:05:35.108 --> 00:05:38.901
Oh yeah, julian has no fear to talk to anybody.
00:05:38.901 --> 00:05:39.343
No, no.
00:05:40.142 --> 00:05:41.865
And I just didn't want to bother them.
00:05:41.865 --> 00:05:55.956
You know I didn't want to you know, my very first day working with Callaway, and then Callaway headquarters gets a call from a tour player that says hey, your rep was bugging me, you know that's me nowadays, like even at the Vegas Gold Knights thing.
00:05:55.975 --> 00:05:57.598
like you know, they're out here having a good time.
00:05:57.598 --> 00:06:06.129
I don't want to bother them and they're talking to people like if I catch them by themselves, can you know, I'll ask for a signature, but I'm not interrupting them.
00:06:06.569 --> 00:06:12.264
yeah, I mean, we saw uh mark stone at the live event and I was just like good nights.
00:06:12.264 --> 00:06:18.526
You know, I gave him a fist bump one time at tbc summerlin at the shriners, um, but that, that's about it, but anyway.
00:06:18.526 --> 00:06:20.591
So we did go over and chat with him a little bit, you know.
00:06:20.591 --> 00:06:24.247
I said, hey, I know you're working, I don't want to bug you, but I want to tell you about our show.
00:06:24.247 --> 00:06:25.788
Uh, we're locals, and what we do.
00:06:25.788 --> 00:06:26.810
And he's like, oh thanks, you know.
00:06:26.810 --> 00:06:29.822
So got a couple cdp stickers in minwoo's bag.
00:06:29.862 --> 00:06:49.891
So sweet, hopefully that'd be awesome and then julian went over and started chatting with them and so we, you know, struck up some conversations and he's got these, these beautiful mirror forged Callaway blades that wow, I mean stunning, stunning, stunning.
00:06:49.891 --> 00:06:55.454
And he's got the kangaroo grips that are just super, super tacky.
00:06:55.454 --> 00:06:57.915
And yeah, so it was.
00:06:57.915 --> 00:07:01.024
It was cool seeing a, a, a players.
00:07:01.024 --> 00:07:14.632
You know, that capability, that caliber of a player, that how we practice mean I don't think that's really cool and a non-perfectly struck ball and the bunch is divot pattern.
00:07:14.891 --> 00:07:20.918
I wanted to take a picture of it and frame it on the wall it was gorgeous and uh, yeah, those guys are.
00:07:20.918 --> 00:07:21.822
Those guys are ballers.
00:07:21.822 --> 00:07:25.951
So it was, it was fun and it was cool of him to let us chat him up and check out his bag.
00:07:29.321 --> 00:07:30.286
Also everybody listening.
00:07:30.286 --> 00:07:33.625

We did it with Scotty.
00:07:34.821 --> 00:07:38.266
Scheffler, if you listen to the Chasing Daylight podcast, you will know about Minwoo Lee.
00:07:39.490 --> 00:07:43.605
Yeah, you would have known about Scotty Scheffler before he became Scotty Scheffler.

That's what we do.
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:52.944

What are some of the things I wanted to talk about?

Oh, my injury update.
00:09:21.662 --> 00:09:27.163
Yeah, so, uh, I was on the couch saturday afternoon, didn't move, didn't move.
00:09:27.163 --> 00:09:29.389
It was, and I showed the pictures with you guys.
00:09:29.389 --> 00:09:35.291
Share the picture with you guys how swollen my right leg was massive it was absurdly scary.
00:09:35.410 --> 00:09:45.490
I and I was, like you know, contemplating going to the emergency room like do I you know, because, was it, was that scary for me?
00:09:46.150 --> 00:09:48.434
Um, chatted up, uh, Dr Dumbler.
00:09:48.434 --> 00:09:52.052
He gave me some advice on some uh you know therapy, so did that.
00:09:52.052 --> 00:09:54.380
And every day it's gotten better.
00:09:54.380 --> 00:09:57.008
So today I was, let's see.
00:09:57.008 --> 00:09:59.995
Uh, Monday, Sunday, I was still on crutches.
00:09:59.995 --> 00:10:04.745
Uh, yesterday I wasn't on crutches but I was walking around like OJ.
00:10:04.745 --> 00:10:18.522
And then today, not not limping as bad, and actually chipped and putted and took a couple full swings and all as well, just just some pain.
00:10:18.522 --> 00:10:21.750
It's gonna be gonna be hard walking around the golf courses.
00:10:21.791 --> 00:10:25.854
So did you say have you swung a club yet?
00:10:26.375 --> 00:10:38.841
yeah, yeah, I you did okay I've taken a full swing with a wedge, so not okay not like driver or anything, but uh, and I did swing the uh seven iron in the garage just because it was handy and I'm like, oh, let's see what happens.
00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:43.528
So like this could go really badly nope, no pops.
00:10:43.928 --> 00:10:54.822
It's the it's putting pressure on it and walking is is the issue, and staying like after sitting here for the hour or however long we're going to be here, it's going to hurt.
00:10:54.822 --> 00:10:57.929
So yeah, something's definitely wrong.
00:10:57.929 --> 00:11:03.852
I I was able to get in to see the orthopedic, but that's not until monday because they're that busy.
00:11:03.852 --> 00:11:09.524
I didn't want to go do an ER visit for them to tell me the exact same thing and have a $10,000 bill, dr.
00:11:12.259 --> 00:11:14.168
Dummler always to the rescue to help you out.
00:11:14.541 --> 00:11:15.384
Always to the rescue.
00:11:15.384 --> 00:11:17.866

00:11:17.866 --> 00:11:19.525
I had a tea time with y'all.
00:11:20.221 --> 00:11:20.741
Yeah, you did.
00:11:21.202 --> 00:11:33.561
On Sunday Robbie's chapping in Coe Springs is at least an easy walk on the lakes I.
00:11:33.561 --> 00:11:38.296
I'm ebay shopping for a blue uh flag right now.
00:11:38.296 --> 00:11:42.510
So, um, how was uh?
00:11:44.317 --> 00:11:44.840

00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:49.721
it's good.
00:11:49.721 --> 00:11:50.121
Yeah, it was.
00:11:50.121 --> 00:11:50.201
Uh.
00:11:50.201 --> 00:11:52.206
It was a good uh de-rusting round, for I think you all three of us.
00:11:52.226 --> 00:11:54.351
You haven't played in a while, so yeah, it's been a while.
00:11:54.351 --> 00:11:55.215
Greens were pretty good.
00:11:55.875 --> 00:11:58.461
I thought yeah yeah, greens, greens were good.
00:11:58.461 --> 00:12:10.311
Uh, obviously there was some burnout areas, approaching the downtime of the season and Concord does not overseed right, they're going to do some areas.
00:12:11.432 --> 00:12:13.634
It'll close here in a couple weeks.
00:12:13.994 --> 00:12:14.634
Yeah, I don't need it.
00:12:14.634 --> 00:12:16.655
Lexington was burned out.
00:12:16.655 --> 00:12:18.517
I mean straight up, full fire.
00:12:21.539 --> 00:12:22.658
Yeah, it's 100% overseed right now.
00:12:24.566 --> 00:12:29.302
Yeah, the greens are very soft.
00:12:29.322 --> 00:12:37.083
They were in in good condition but they're very soft, like jeremy's ball and plugged on oh yeah, elevator part three was oh wow, um spinning them back from like 60 yards, 70 yards.
00:12:37.225 --> 00:12:45.529
They were coming back like five, six, seven feet I spun one back like 18 feet a couple times, I think yeah, so they were soft and receptive.
00:12:45.549 --> 00:12:46.250
They were rolling nice.
00:12:46.250 --> 00:12:53.471
They were rolling pretty, true, but yeah, you can definitely tell that it's getting time to work on it.
00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:59.013
I think a lot of the courses in town are going to go shit.
00:12:59.013 --> 00:13:16.919
We're not going to be able to make the course as good as possible, but maybe we can direct some of this time and allocation that we used to spend on the course and now focus on the greens a little bit more and and at least have some value in, because that's, that's the first, the first thing you ask anybody greens are the most important.
00:13:17.260 --> 00:13:21.596
The first thing any any comment on, like the las vegas golf friends on facebook.
00:13:21.596 --> 00:13:23.761
Uh, someone will say hey, played here today.
00:13:23.761 --> 00:13:24.945
First question how are the greens?
00:13:24.945 --> 00:13:25.785
How are the greens?
00:13:25.785 --> 00:13:27.249
Anybody asks a question.
00:13:27.249 --> 00:13:29.394
It's like how are the greens at st stallion right now?
00:13:29.394 --> 00:13:38.105
Um, so that's always first thing and it sucks that that is a precursor for determining if a golf course is good or not.
00:13:38.105 --> 00:13:41.799
But if you have shitty greens, that's what you're going to remember.
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:49.145
You could have flat t-boxes and lush fairways, but if the greens are crap, I I.
00:13:49.726 --> 00:13:52.150
I will say like we're, we're.
00:13:52.150 --> 00:13:59.293
We're in that season where things are getting let go a little bit because they know that overseed is coming and it's the season for it.
00:13:59.293 --> 00:14:04.644
But, um, with all the water restrictions that have been placed on las Vegas golf courses, it's.
00:14:04.644 --> 00:14:13.623
It's not necessarily always the golf courses fault or the superintendent's fault or the the greens keepers fault.
00:14:13.623 --> 00:14:24.666
You know, a lot of courses have been forced to remove areas that had grass and replace it with desert areas or gravel or rocks or whatever the case may be.
00:14:24.666 --> 00:14:28.190
I've talked to Darden and he does want to come on soon.
00:14:28.190 --> 00:14:33.196
But management companies trying to get the bang for the buck.
00:14:33.196 --> 00:14:57.940
There's so many things that go into what you can spend on fertilizers or seed or things like that, or how much water you can put onto the grass to even help it grow, and even going beyond that, like the equipment if it hasn't been updated, and you need equipment and 40 year old toro yeah, that's like that's a hierarchy in uh corporations.
00:14:59.403 --> 00:15:03.730
That you know, like I can ask for things at my job doesn't mean it's going to get approved.
00:15:03.730 --> 00:15:10.969
And if I don't get um things that I need to do my job uh adequately, then you know.
00:15:10.969 --> 00:15:18.229
So don't automatically go and and blame supers or the conditions they could be preparing.
00:15:18.229 --> 00:15:37.615
You know, burning it out just like lexington gets burned out and it's completely closed now but you know we're we're in that season where that shit happens, so it's gonna take some time, but in october it's gonna be special, like it always is every october can't kendall chiming in on instagram?
00:15:37.774 --> 00:15:39.743
uh, it takes eight months to order a new mower right now.
00:15:39.802 --> 00:15:47.852
So I I'm sure they're probably dealing with some of those issues as well yeah, I ordered new projectors at work about two years ago and I only got one of them.
00:15:47.852 --> 00:15:49.462
I'm still waiting on my second one.
00:15:49.582 --> 00:15:50.525
Two years.
00:15:51.347 --> 00:15:52.110
Yeah, about that.
00:15:53.032 --> 00:15:53.272
Is it?
00:15:53.272 --> 00:15:55.062
Are they going to be outdated when they come in?
00:15:57.066 --> 00:15:57.547
Yeah.
00:15:57.908 --> 00:15:58.327
Absolutely.
00:15:58.349 --> 00:15:58.849
Is it the tech?
00:15:58.869 --> 00:15:59.289
That's like.
00:16:01.293 --> 00:16:08.923
Yeah, I mean, and that's the world we're living in.
00:16:08.923 --> 00:16:09.846
So but don't go and blame the, the workers.
00:16:09.846 --> 00:16:15.424
You know, just because you have shitty golf course conditions does not mean that the pro shop attendant is at fault there, like they're.
00:16:15.424 --> 00:16:23.206
You know, don't have a bad attitude to the pro shop attendant who's charging you the 80 or 100 to play, to play.
00:16:23.206 --> 00:16:26.269
It's not his fucking fault, it's not the Super's fault.
00:16:26.269 --> 00:16:28.693
There's many, many factors at play.
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:32.686
Just trying to appreciate Global worming.
00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:37.971
Yeah, just appreciate the people that are there to take care of you.
00:16:38.030 --> 00:16:38.972
It's Kamala's fault.
00:16:39.721 --> 00:16:40.886
It's probably way above that.
00:16:40.886 --> 00:16:42.384
It's everybody's fucking fault, dude.
00:16:42.384 --> 00:16:43.528
It's everybody's fault.
00:16:44.580 --> 00:16:48.980
Hey Dan dan, how's how the new irons do except the pro shop attendants.
00:16:48.980 --> 00:16:54.783
Sorry, everybody but them and the supers.
00:16:56.326 --> 00:16:57.110
The new irons are nice.
00:16:57.110 --> 00:16:59.513
They feel good.
00:16:59.513 --> 00:17:02.495
They definitely need to hit them a little bit more.
00:17:03.086 --> 00:17:05.692
Did we tell everybody what you ended up going with last week?
00:17:07.075 --> 00:17:08.198
I don't know.
00:17:08.198 --> 00:17:14.538
I ended up getting Mizuno 221s and they are muscle back.
00:17:14.538 --> 00:17:22.111
I'm going to sport wedge through six and then I am going to do cavity back.
00:17:22.111 --> 00:17:26.538
Uh, five and four iron and then, uh, we'll see about getting a.
00:17:26.538 --> 00:17:31.951
I don't know whether I'm going to stick with the five wood or get a three, three utility or rescue, but we'll see.
00:17:32.875 --> 00:17:44.230
Man, I know they didn't go where Dan wanted most of the time during his round, but fuck man, those sounded great coming off of you know they sounded fantastic yeah, they did.
00:17:44.250 --> 00:17:44.653
Did you hit?
00:17:44.653 --> 00:17:45.294
Did you guys hit him?
00:17:45.294 --> 00:17:45.895
Did you try him?
00:17:45.895 --> 00:17:50.191
No, no, no, I are you being stingy?
00:17:50.191 --> 00:17:55.750
I felt, I felt bad because they were, they were in condition I wouldn't have been able to hit him anyway.
00:17:56.173 --> 00:18:00.031
They're super clean like a great great buy off ebay they.
00:18:00.153 --> 00:18:01.000
They just wanted't have the shafts.
00:18:01.102 --> 00:18:11.537
Oh yeah, man, they sound incredible yeah, I had a little bit of the pools going on with the irons and then, uh, it took me about six or seven holes, but then I finally got to swing in a little bit better.
