00:00:28.196 --> 00:00:30.077
What is up everybody?
00:00:30.077 --> 00:00:35.802
Welcome to another episode of the chasing daylight podcast, coming at you from a little different angle.
00:00:35.802 --> 00:00:36.284
Today.
00:00:36.284 --> 00:00:39.680
I'm trying to get my screen back so I can actually see what the hell's going on.
00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:42.665
Um, welcome everybody to another show.
00:00:42.665 --> 00:00:44.829
Joe is kind of muted right now.
00:00:44.829 --> 00:00:53.479
He's got a child crisis that he's dealing with, so we don't want to uh punish you all with the the the child noises.
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:58.893
So as soon as he gets some uh bullpen relief on the fam, joe will be joining us.
00:00:58.893 --> 00:01:01.509
Uh, the meantime, jeremy's here.
00:01:01.509 --> 00:01:03.185
He's muted right now but he's here.
00:01:03.185 --> 00:01:08.766
Dan is here and uh we're, you know, back with another episode to talk some golf.
00:01:09.727 --> 00:01:17.513
Uh, first off, out of the gates, as always, want to thank all the people that uh support us uh in our endeavors to make this show happen each week.

00:01:23.668 --> 00:01:29.456
Also, the golf stop, the premier indoor track man facility here in West Henderson.

Please go check them out If you can get a time.
00:01:32.343 --> 00:01:35.871
They're booked solid right now because everybody's on their bandwagon.
00:01:35.871 --> 00:01:50.371
And also want to give thanks to Scott Russo for his continued support and allowing us to use Harmonic as the intro for the Chasing Daylight podcast, episode 294, boys, how are we all doing this evening?
00:01:50.371 --> 00:01:51.861
Doing?
00:01:51.882 --> 00:01:53.507
great, yeah, we're good.
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.849
Joe was doing good, but he's not doing so good right now.
00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:02.090
Hey, so we got this heat wave going on in Vegas.
00:02:02.090 --> 00:02:04.781
I'm a little concerned.
00:02:04.781 --> 00:02:06.382
I'm ready for October.
00:02:06.382 --> 00:02:11.848
October, if anybody has not ever heard us say, is the best month in Vegas, hands down.
00:02:11.848 --> 00:02:13.868
The weather is amazing.
00:02:13.868 --> 00:02:36.294
We don't have any crazy wind, it's cool in the evenings, it's cool in the mornings, it's nice in the daytime, the golf is outstanding, all the courses are coming off overseas and it's a great time, but a mother nature has not allowed us to uh participate in that right now, because it's another record today 103.
00:02:36.294 --> 00:02:39.689
I think it was the high today, just just nuts and I.
00:02:39.689 --> 00:02:43.871
What I'm concerned about is all these courses that did the overseed.
00:02:43.871 --> 00:02:46.866
It's not going to take cause it's too damn hot.
00:02:46.866 --> 00:02:57.009
Yeah, so fingers crossed that, uh, you know Maddie G is is on another sabbatical for his duties with the chasing daylight podcast.
00:02:57.009 --> 00:03:00.283
So, um, I can tell you this weekend it's going to be hot.
00:03:00.283 --> 00:03:02.995
Uh, more upper nineties.
00:03:03.318 --> 00:03:10.181
Um, finally starting to cool off next week, but uh, yeah, so hey, so let's the courses.
00:03:10.201 --> 00:03:11.123
I've seen, though they look.
00:03:11.123 --> 00:03:16.481
They look mint like desert willow looks incredible oh, my god, and I drove by lex.
00:03:16.481 --> 00:03:25.993
I drove by lex today, wow angel park, it looks fantastic yeah, they all look really ppc vegas is back open.
00:03:26.014 --> 00:03:27.295
highland falls is back open.
00:03:27.295 --> 00:03:30.324
Um, yeah, all the courses are back.
00:03:30.324 --> 00:03:35.395
So, um, most of them, for the most part, are back, so let's hope.
00:03:35.395 --> 00:03:44.787
Let's hope that the heat doesn't screw everything up and make it for a really bad month of golf, because we got some great events coming up.
00:03:44.787 --> 00:03:51.022
We got Black Desert is taking place next week in Southern Utah, then we got the Shriners.
00:03:51.022 --> 00:03:53.406
The week after that we got a VGN event.
00:03:53.406 --> 00:04:13.411
There's all kinds of stuff going on, but we had Mitch's this last weekend and for those who don't know what Mitch's Revenge is, they take Coyote Springs and they tip it out and put you at the back of the back boxes which comes around about 7,500, 7,600 yards.
00:04:13.411 --> 00:04:23.791
The greens they actually rolled the greens, they were fast and they put the pins in stupid positions.
00:04:23.791 --> 00:04:30.567
Jeremy and I had no idea how they could get any worse than they were for the VGN event, but how worse were they?
00:04:31.786 --> 00:04:33.141
They were quite a bit worse.
00:04:33.141 --> 00:04:40.788
I mean, there was a couple that I feel were more fair, but, man, some of them were next to impossible.
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:42.466
One was brutal, yeah, one was tough.
00:04:42.466 --> 00:04:44.627
That was absolutely ridiculous.
00:04:44.627 --> 00:04:45.533
14 was that.
00:04:45.533 --> 00:04:46.762
We watched the group in front of us.
00:04:46.762 --> 00:04:48.786
Funny story in front of us.
00:04:48.786 --> 00:04:51.112
We watched the group in front of us.
00:04:51.112 --> 00:04:57.391
One of the guys in that group uh, not don davis, who's a listener uh hit how many chip shots?
00:04:57.391 --> 00:05:00.302
Four, four or five chip shots onto the green and back down.
00:05:00.302 --> 00:05:09.442
So they, they definitely had mitch's revenge set up so I six putted, don't forget, oh, I wasn't gonna say it.
00:05:09.642 --> 00:05:17.607
I wasn't gonna say it, but yes, oh I totally, I will totally lay my life on the tracks right there started off the first hole with a six putt.
00:05:17.646 --> 00:05:23.865
It was incredible yeah, and then, and then he just like went on like it didn't happen.
00:05:25.127 --> 00:05:26.612
Yeah, you got to, just let it go.
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:32.062
Birdie the next hole with just a great shot.
00:05:32.062 --> 00:05:36.091
I mean, you had an eagle putt, which I haven't seen too many eagle putts on five.
00:05:36.091 --> 00:05:38.985
That is not an easy pin to get to.
00:05:39.766 --> 00:05:41.011
No, yeah, that was crazy.
00:05:43.690 --> 00:05:45.220
Yeah, so it was challenging.
00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:57.992
The funny thing is I played better from the Mitch's tees and Mitch's conditions than I did up a box in more favorable conditions the week before for the VGN event.
00:05:57.992 --> 00:06:02.687
That's golf, that's golf.
00:06:02.687 --> 00:06:03.571
That's golf.
00:06:03.571 --> 00:06:05.326
I can't explain it.
00:06:05.326 --> 00:06:29.281
That just shows you why you don't count every score on your handicap, because you have occasionally some anomalies in the good way and in the bad way, and that was 100% in the bad way, but something that happened and I felt about it you know, I am not somebody that hits into people.
00:06:30.024 --> 00:06:31.947
I, I have patience, I can wait.
00:06:31.947 --> 00:06:35.357
Um, so we're on the 15th fairway.
00:06:35.357 --> 00:06:37.942
I pulled my t-shot into the bunker.
00:06:37.942 --> 00:06:46.716
Two weeks ago I was in the exact same bunker with the exact same club and, uh, I play for a lab because it's all, it's all.
00:06:46.716 --> 00:06:48.040
Carry water.
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.283
You got to carry the water.
00:06:49.283 --> 00:06:53.500
There's no in front of the green, there's from that angle, it's just water.
00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:54.644
It's water.
00:06:54.644 --> 00:06:55.245
A little hill.
00:06:55.245 --> 00:06:59.401
Uh, you can see on my instagram where I splashed out of that same exact area.
00:06:59.401 --> 00:07:03.968
Uh, so that's what I was, that's what you have to cover to get to the green.
00:07:05.992 --> 00:07:17.848
I laid up two weeks ago, prior to that, and so I said I'm just going to lay up again and absolutely hit the best fairway bunker shot of my life that I happened to pull a little bit.
00:07:17.848 --> 00:07:24.108
And I looked up at Jeremy and he's just sitting there staring and he goes you hit the green.
00:07:24.108 --> 00:07:27.642
I was like, what do you mean?
00:07:27.642 --> 00:07:28.084
I hit the green green.
00:07:28.084 --> 00:07:30.096
I thought he was gonna tell me you're in the water, you know.
00:07:30.096 --> 00:07:31.620
And, uh, because I knew I pulled it.
00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:32.884
But I, I mean it was.
00:07:32.884 --> 00:07:41.028
It was stupid, it was 170 yard carry, 175 yard carry and I hit a six iron from the fairway bunker.
00:07:41.028 --> 00:07:48.495
I was just trying and there's a 10 foot lip in front of me that I was trying to get over and just oh, but I almost killed somebody.
00:07:48.555 --> 00:07:50.560
Yeah, you were inches from hitting that guy.
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:51.002
He was.
00:07:51.062 --> 00:08:08.543
He was getting ready to putt and this ball just bounced right behind his leg yeah, so uh I I I reached out, uh, don davis, a loyal listener, uh was playing in the event and he wanted to meet up.
00:08:08.543 --> 00:08:11.714
And uh, I sent him a message saying hey, I apologize.
00:08:11.714 --> 00:08:13.802
You know, um, jeremy had to get out of there.
00:08:13.802 --> 00:08:14.745
The round took forever.
00:08:14.745 --> 00:08:17.541
We had a group in front of us that wasn't playing fast.
00:08:17.541 --> 00:08:18.805
And he's like, yeah, that was us.
00:08:18.805 --> 00:08:26.961
And I was like, oh crap, didn't mean to insult you, I'm so sorry, sorry.
00:08:26.961 --> 00:08:27.262
And he goes.
00:08:27.262 --> 00:08:28.206
I don't think we ever got behind that much.
00:08:28.206 --> 00:08:30.874
And uh, but I told him, I said, why didn't you say anything when I almost killed you?
00:08:30.874 --> 00:08:31.961
And he's like, ah, it wasn't me.
00:08:31.961 --> 00:08:34.405
He goes, dude was pissed, he goes.
00:08:34.405 --> 00:08:41.866
But uh, you know, I told him, I said shot of my life out of the bunker and I didn't even see it you know, that's.
00:08:42.850 --> 00:08:44.280
that's what's crazy about this game.
00:08:44.280 --> 00:08:45.447
Stuff like that happens.
00:08:45.447 --> 00:08:50.532
So to the gentlemen that were playing with Mr Don Davis, my sincere apologies.
00:08:50.532 --> 00:08:52.385
I was not trying to hit at you.
00:08:52.385 --> 00:08:55.005
I swear I am not that guy.
00:08:55.005 --> 00:08:57.226
That was an incredible shot, though.
00:08:57.729 --> 00:08:58.813
Thank you, thank you.
00:08:58.933 --> 00:09:07.922
Yeah, did miss the putt but made par on a hole that I got a seven on in the tournament, so I was happy about that.
00:09:07.922 --> 00:09:10.025
Yeah so, but I was.
00:09:10.025 --> 00:09:19.649
I was glad to see mitch's back to a challenging, you know event because it had gotten a little lackadaisical in the past.
00:09:19.649 --> 00:09:25.306
Um, oh, not sure how we can move on with that.
00:09:25.306 --> 00:09:26.710
Details Dan's six putt.
00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:29.543
Oh, that's real easy.
00:09:29.543 --> 00:09:33.788
That's real easy From the angle that I hit.
00:09:33.788 --> 00:09:38.090
My second shot in it was either make it or miss, because it was coming back at your feet.
00:09:38.090 --> 00:09:44.028
There's no way the ball was staying anywhere close to the hole unless I played it like seven or eight feet intentionally off to the left.
00:09:44.028 --> 00:09:45.442
So first, putt.
00:09:45.442 --> 00:09:50.052
I hit, went up about two, three feet short, rolled back about 15 to 18 feet back down.
00:09:50.052 --> 00:09:55.298
I did that three times, then smashed one through and then the second one almost went in.
00:09:55.379 --> 00:09:59.929
The second one like died on the lip and then came back and then came right back to your feet.
00:09:59.929 --> 00:10:01.822
But yeah, it was just, it happened.
00:10:01.822 --> 00:10:03.125
I had six putts.
00:10:03.144 --> 00:10:07.874
Later I walk off with an eight On the CDP feed on Instagram.
00:10:07.874 --> 00:10:13.567
The last reel that I posted is a shot of Dan and that was his approach on that hole.
00:10:13.567 --> 00:10:14.885
That's the number four.
00:10:14.885 --> 00:10:17.207
It's the number one handicap hole on the course.
00:10:17.207 --> 00:10:19.066
You smoke your drive.
00:10:19.066 --> 00:10:20.845
That iron shot.
00:10:20.845 --> 00:10:22.028
It's kind of hard.
00:10:22.028 --> 00:10:26.504
I cut it off because I zoom in on the original video, but I zoom in a little bit.
00:10:26.504 --> 00:10:36.907
You could see he almost holed it twice because it landed short, rolled past it, went up the hill, came back, almost holed again and then ended up 30 feet away.
00:10:38.524 --> 00:11:05.611
I mean it was an incredible shot that just ended up in the worst position and us putting on that for the first day first green that has a lot of lows on that hole oh my god, yeah, I, I parted and uh, I was like damn, I didn't, I didn't even make part of the week before and yeah, you and jay had some great up and downs on that hole yeah that was you had some, there was some you left it in a perfect spot on.
00:11:05.672 --> 00:11:06.254
It had to be.
00:11:06.274 --> 00:11:21.023
You had to be left of that pin because that was the only flat spot near anywhere near the hole yeah, if you were on that right side, you were gone yeah, you were oh and and steve, he had a because he was off in the, the thickets to the right and he had a great up because he he put it to a foot.
00:11:21.023 --> 00:11:24.570
And how it stopped, I have no idea yeah, that was amazing.
00:11:25.952 --> 00:11:26.813
Oh, it was a fun day.
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:35.654
It was fun, but man it was a place uh, jeremy, lately did you find out if you won the ctp?
00:11:36.941 --> 00:11:40.446
I, I totally forgot, actually I haven't seen any results?
00:11:40.966 --> 00:11:42.448
uh, they haven't posted anything.
00:11:42.448 --> 00:11:45.712
Yeah, I don't even know what I shot yeah.
00:11:45.712 --> 00:11:49.043
You guys are going.
00:11:49.780 --> 00:11:51.711
We'll have to check in and see what the status is.
00:11:51.711 --> 00:11:51.811
Yeah.
00:11:54.423 --> 00:11:55.287
I said hard pass.
00:11:55.287 --> 00:12:00.166
Well, the main reason I was going out there, was to pick up my head cover.
00:12:00.166 --> 00:12:03.105
You're going to make the drive.
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:09.434
You're driving all the way out there Might as well book a tee, a tea time, you know uh, they, they had me down as a.
00:12:09.696 --> 00:12:14.706
As a, I was getting 22 strokes and I was like good lord.
00:12:14.706 --> 00:12:32.866
So when, when I actually played well, I was like I went inside I said, okay, uh, you need to change this because I should not be getting 22 strokes, because if I do and I win anything, then people are going to be mad when they look me up and see that I'm you know a four handicap, not a, not a 16.
00:12:32.866 --> 00:12:35.591
So, um, please make the change on that.
00:12:35.591 --> 00:12:39.504
So I'm curious to see where everybody ended up yeah, but I haven't.
00:12:39.644 --> 00:12:40.908
I have not seen anything yet.
00:12:40.908 --> 00:12:44.182
So, yes, I have to keep our eyes out for that.
00:12:44.182 --> 00:12:48.724
So that's mitch's, but I think go back again next year, right?
00:12:49.445 --> 00:12:51.931
oh yeah just, oh yeah, oh yeah, it's always.
00:12:51.931 --> 00:12:52.793
It's not.
00:12:52.793 --> 00:12:55.245
As long as they keep putting the pins in positions like that, it's fun.
00:12:55.245 --> 00:12:56.910
Yeah, I mean you can't go into that.
00:12:56.910 --> 00:13:03.826
You can't, really can't go into that round expecting to play well you know, you can hope to play well, but you know it's why they have a break 80 pot.
00:13:03.826 --> 00:13:04.889
We can break 80.
00:13:04.889 --> 00:13:07.804
Did very well in mitch's revenge dude, someone broke 80 out there.
00:13:07.845 --> 00:13:15.725

Um, it's.
00:13:43.033 --> 00:13:46.187
It's just before you get to love gas station in that like storage area.
00:13:46.187 --> 00:13:48.216
That's new, it's right there on the right.
00:13:48.216 --> 00:13:49.922
There was like a crane holding it up.
00:13:49.922 --> 00:13:51.765
I was like, is that a fat, naked trump?
00:13:51.765 --> 00:14:03.000

Coming soon.
00:14:17.895 --> 00:14:25.772
Five weeks away, six weeks away, um, but yeah, it took like you, dan, send us that message.
00:14:25.772 --> 00:14:28.202
He's like did you guys see the, the tall naked trump?
00:14:28.202 --> 00:14:28.845
And we're like what?
00:14:28.845 --> 00:14:32.013
And I swear like three minutes later it's all over.
00:14:32.013 --> 00:14:39.700
You know, vegas viral and and vegas locals, somebody erected a 60 foot naked trump in the middle of the desert.
00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:54.316
Yeah, they need to put that out where seven magic mountains is, since that's going away that'd be awesome is it is that they're taking that out that's what I heard.
00:14:55.158 --> 00:15:07.052
Oh wow, I mean, it was only supposed to be there for like six months, but it got so popular that they just kept it up which I mean yeah it looks cool, but I don't get it, does it?
00:15:08.001 --> 00:15:08.924
I mean you go there.
00:15:08.924 --> 00:15:11.270
Once you see it, you're like wow, that's actually impressive.
00:15:11.331 --> 00:15:14.350
And then I took the kids out there one day and we took some photos.
00:15:14.350 --> 00:15:17.140
I mean it's different, it's something you don't see every day.
00:15:17.201 --> 00:15:22.789
But yeah, the guy that did that made a lot of money.
00:15:22.789 --> 00:15:25.735
I think it was like $4.5 million.
00:15:25.735 --> 00:15:28.282
A stack painted boulders, what?
00:15:28.282 --> 00:15:30.562
Yeah, I swear to God, it was something like that.
00:15:30.562 --> 00:15:34.884
Maybe I'm a little off, but I could have swore it was something ridiculous like that.
00:15:34.884 --> 00:15:37.346
They paid him like $4.5 million to do that art installment.
00:15:37.346 --> 00:15:38.962
Who paid him?
00:15:38.962 --> 00:15:41.105
Holy shit, I don't know.
00:15:41.144 --> 00:15:44.706
We need to find out who would tell him that we've got a banging podcast.
00:15:44.706 --> 00:15:44.927
Yeah.
00:15:45.509 --> 00:15:46.371
I could be totally wrong.
00:15:46.371 --> 00:15:49.610
I could be fake news spreading misinformation, but I don't think so.
00:15:49.610 --> 00:15:51.164
I think I'm pretty close with this one.
00:15:51.164 --> 00:15:51.847
I feel good about it.
00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:58.393
Dan, have you ever been up to Rhyolite and seen all the art installations out there up near Beatty, the ghost town, rhyolite?
00:15:58.620 --> 00:15:59.643

00:16:23.350 --> 00:16:32.726
Old goldstown was the largest, was at one point the largest populated town on the west coast oh shit and there's a bunch of ruins out there.
00:16:32.748 --> 00:16:45.947
The first three-story building erected on the west coast, uh, cool, cool, little, a little area to check out, but a bunch of people have gone and put some art installations out there there's.
00:16:45.947 --> 00:16:47.181
