Hello, and welcome to episode 331 of the
Drive the Green Podcast. I'm your host, Matty
b, joined
outside at Studio M
with, Canoop and Harv. Bronnell's taking the option.
He's finally decided to skip a pod. Living
a little. He's living. He's living the life,
on the company dime.
He's telling us all about Nothing better. Yeah.
When the government's paying, you gotta take advantage
Yeah. You have to go. Of those ones.
On this episode, we're gonna talk about Jonathan
Vegas winning the 3 m Open, KJ Choi
winning the US
Nope. I did it again. Oh, it's a
senior open championship at Carnoustics. Yep.
What else we gotta talk about? Jon Rahm.
Jon Rahm. On the lift. He's finally off
the ledge. Yep.
Yeah. Maybe.
He probably still regrets that decision, but we're
gonna talk about that at length.
Plus much more in our weeks. Only 3
weeks this week. So
and last but not least, on Wednesday, this
Wednesday at 9 o'clock local time, Saskatchewan time,
anyway, Central Standard Time,
the match the player match number 2 between
us and the 2024
WHL champion Moose Jaw Warriors goes live on
YouTube.
I think Denton Matejchuk and Jager Firkus are
gonna hop on for a live chat during
the premiere.
I'm not sure if the other 2 are
gonna hop on, but, I know we got
for sure those 2. So we're gonna have
a little chat, a little fun. So if
you wanna interact with those guys while watching
the match, see what happened. Is in Canada
camp? Probably. Might might be busy. Canada camp.
World Junior. World Junior camp. Camp. He might
be the captain this year.
So, yeah, lots to talk about before we
get into that. We wanna thank our sponsors,
one of which is player, plyrogolf.com.
Use the promo code drive the green for
20% off your order. We still got a
couple player cups left
this year. I know it was a big
one in Carstairs the week before the warming
tournament.
So plenty to,
it's not too late to get into,
player cup. Well, actually, sorry. It is. They're
probably both sold out. Those 2. Yeah. But
they're good point. But they're, they're coming up.
And, big thanks to player for putting on
that match and to 11 creative for, editing
it. We've watched it. Looks great. Can't wait
for everyone to see it. We're also members
of the Callaway family.
I'll talk about my week, but, a little
up and down. I talked about mini driver
last week. Didn't use it this week, but,
think I might have figured out a different
way to incorporate what happened to the mini
driver. Yep. Yeah. Yeah.
So talk about that. We're also Knoop's got
a lawnmower in his hand.
That's my last one.
Cool. So we're gonna need a refill.
I'm drinking something else, but, that's because I
drank all the Moores.
So none left at Studio M. And last
but not least,
we're, proudly sponsored by Meckleburg Meckleburg Financial Group.
Harv's, posted that reel today of you at,
number 2 at Waskasoo at your happy place.
That's that's all in the province.
Meckleburg proudly presents our That's something else. Yep.
And,
yeah. I had to did you see what
I did there?
Well, Canoop did there. He added a little
bit of elk scenery so that the reel
was not 12 seconds long.
Tee shot, smart.
90 yards.
It's a 135.
I don't know about that. Okay. 90. Yeah.
But yeah. Great car, bud. Maddie b and
I thought we were gonna hold out.
Who's I putted right after you the same
line. Right? And missed the same spot?
You hit the you hit first, I think.
I hit first, and then I was behind
the hole. Yeah. And then I hit second
and exact same shot and was just a
little excited.
Yep. I,
so I was playing
kinda kinda merge my weeks here with Meckleburg,
because
I played in the Deer Valley member guest.
We're gonna talk about that a little bit
with Rusty Shovel Sean. And, I was telling
how I had won just won the Warrior
Alumni Golf Tournament. And then I talked about
how much money I wanted, and he said,
how much did Mekelberg Financial Group get for
all those alternative investments?
So it's working. The advertising is working. He
was very,
intrigued by all of those different types of
investments we talk about
having access to. I've been meaning to reach
out to Rich because I'm like, Rich, I
need some new alternative investments.
Take some more of my money.
The the student housing in
in,
Ontario is working so well. I want I
just want more. I want more car wash
ownership.
I want all these different things that they
offer. And, again, I'm a small business owner.
If I was big enough, I would definitely
have a group benefit plan through them or
a group pension plan with them because they
do it all there. So if you're looking
for
any type of that exposure in your portfolio
or as a small business, if you're looking
to,
have someone handle your affairs, so to speak,
or maybe you're just doing personal financial planning,
they do it all at Mecklenburg Financial Group.
So,
alright. Let's get I'll go my week first.
Yep. I'll go in order here because it
was a bit of an up and down
week for me. Decided to play in the
morning on Tuesday.
Hate mornings,
except for
right now we're in peak morning season when
it's actually 15 to 20 degrees when you
tee off at 6 AM. It's always good,
but come on. Yeah. That's right. So one
of those rare mornings where I only wore
a player layering piece for, I think, 2
holes,
took it off,
and then I walked off. So my career
round at the Hillcrest is even par. Walked
off
the par 4 15th even par with a
par 5, a gettable par 4, and a
par 3
To go, par them all.
So tied. So tied my career around. It's
kind of a quiet morning around, didn't do
any social media, and then I was getting
ready to do
career watch,
but I was like, I'm gonna save them
all. And then if I do career watch,
this is just creative editing.
Yeah. I'll post them all after the round.
Oh, I careered. But now it's just a
story on the podcast. Yeah. Like, it doesn't
need to be
driven down people's throats.
So I thought I was my game was
in great shape, then
Deer Valley had their inaugural member member guest,
which I played with Rusty Shovel Sean at.
So 2 man scramble,
and, boy did I let him down.
The putter went completely ice cold, like,
over 36 holes, probably had, I don't know,
maybe 8 lip outs. Crazy. Just, like, barely
hitting the hole. Like, if you lip out,
like, you can't really say. Yes. Oh, I
should've made that. Yes. That's right. But some
of them should've went in. So I did
have I did have one question for you.
Because now you've played in, obviously, in the
last week, you've played in 2 member guests.
Yes. Yeah.
Which format do you prefer?
Do you prefer the scramble, or do you
like the best ball?
Oh, good question. Yeah.
I would say
I'm trying to remove the,
because I was the inaugural event at Deer
Valley, and and so
the,
let's say, the uptake in it wasn't obvi
it wasn't completely sold out. Let's just say
that.
So I think having a full field changes
a little bit of, like, the overall
atmosphere. Yeah. But as far as the round
itself,
I like I like 2 minutes scramble because
you're it's more of a fun thing.
Because when you get in those best ball
tournaments, there's just so much pressure all the
time. Yeah.
Yeah. That's fair. But I think the best
ball format is the true way to play
it only because
the best team
I mean, the best team would probably gonna
win in both cases Yeah. But it's just
more of you get a little bit more
of that pressure, more of, like, a real
tournament atmosphere. Yep. But I I personally prefer
the scramble only because it's just more fun.
Yep. That's right. You can hit balls off
the planet, and then just doesn't matter. It
don't matter. Yeah. So
we had a chance to play with some
really good guys in our in our groups
both days.
The guys that won,
Cole Obergaywich
and
Jack
I think it's Jack Shepherd. I should look
it up. I apologize to Jack if it's
not Jack Shepherd.
But they won they went they went 23
under over 2 days. Yeah. That's impressive. So
there was a flighting just to just to
flight, and then your score did not carry
over.
So it was just like, okay. Just go
out there,
shoot a number, and then we didn't play
super good, but good enough in to get
into that top flight.
And it's like, okay. Reset.
Well, it was even worse the next day.
So the issue,
Jack Bichard sorry. Not that real. Okay. Was
close. I knew it was Jack, but he's
a good player too. Two syllables. Yeah.
So, yeah, they they went really low. We
did not play up to our standards,
but it was it was a great event.
Unbelievable
update. I'd said the membership maybe wasn't there,
but the sponsorship was unbelievable. T gift was
incredible.
The prizing was insane.
Like, we're talking
winners get drivers of both flights.
Like Wow. It was You guys should've sandbaked
them. Yeah. Well, yeah, we should've went in
that should've went in the bottom flight.
Sean's probably kicking himself right now, but we
you know, you can only do so much.
You can only
Yes. Say I'm gonna play so bad for
so long. Like, the guys the guys that
won the 2nd flight beat us by 5
shots, and we're in the top flight. So
Jeez. They would have been, I think, 4th
in the in the top flight. So they
did it right. So they sandbag. Yeah. They
knew how to do it. Yeah.
But, yeah, Deer Valley was in great shape.
Like, the fairways are incredible. The greens are
very good. Just those pesky bunkers on some
of those holes.
But once they get those bunkers back, like,
I was very happy with how the course
looked and played
over the 2 days. It got very windy.
Our qualifier was good. The wind died down.
So we we picked the right time to
qualify, but Saturday was was brutal.
Just west wind. Yeah. So you go out
or like, we started on 1. So
1, 3,
5, you're playing downwind, then you gotta turn
around and play
7 of 8 holes into the wind. And
then start your back again. Exhausted
at that point.
But, yeah, it was a very fun event,
and then get home
after that to find out my washing machine
is broken.
So
this was this is this was terrible. So
the drain pump is toast on it, I
guess. So I,
me
being
the lazy, not wanna do it yourself guy,
I'm just like, let's just buy a new
washing machine. I don't wanna I don't wanna
have to deal with this anymore. We'll just
get rid of it. But the problem was
because it the drain didn't work. The door's
locked.
So, like, you can't get your shit out
of there because filled with water because it's,
like, got an auto lock on it because
it doesn't want you to open the door
and flood your house. So it's got all
this water. I can see it in the
door, like, the water level's, like, above the
door, so I can't open it. But I
got clothes in there that I wanna wear
including all my Gitch.
So I don't like, and I'm I'm a
guy that maxes out on Gitch. Like, I
wash them when I have one pair left.
So now I'm currently wearing,
like, you know, like, everyone has those, like,
3 pairs of Yeah. You're like, if I
have to, then I'll wear those ones. Holes
in them. Yeah. On bathing suits. Yeah. So
I got I got those get you on,
and I hate them.
But now I'm thinking about tomorrow
because the guy is coming to hopefully put
in a new pump tomorrow, and I gotta
wash my stuff. But anyway, because it's full
and the guy's coming tomorrow, I thought I'd
be a nice guy and try to drain
this. Well,
the drain
in this
old washing machine that I have, it's not
that old, but it's old. It doesn't quite
clear the bottom of the pan, so I
couldn't just, like, put a funnel or a
hose there and just open it and let
it drain into a bowl.
I had to literally open it, like,
a little bit at a time with a
rag or 5 rags underneath, soak them, twist
it out into a bowl, and do that.
Took me 3 hours last night. I believe
that. And the worst part about it is
I did it I started at 9 thinking
it would take me, like, 20 minutes. I
looked at the clog, and it was midnight.
Oh my god. So and then I got
I feel like there was a better way
to do that. Well, I'm gonna ask the
guy when he comes tomorrow. How would I
how would you have drained this? Yes. So
I got down drained to the point where
I could open the door,
but then I could get my clothes out.
So I dried them all, including all my
gitch, and it's, like,
these are these re they, like, reeked because
it was locked in there for, like Oh,
yeah. 36 hours. Yeah. And probably boiling hot.
So I'm like, I'm not wearing these on
plus 35. I'm just gonna reek up everywhere.
So now I got these stank these stank
underwear that I need to rewash, but I
don't have a wash machine yet. So I
might go to my parents' tomorrow for desperate
times. At least I got my clothes out
of there though.
So that happened.
So hopefully, he gets it fixed tomorrow.
And then last but not least, ball season,
summer ball for my kids done this week.
We're going to Calgary for Westerns, hopefully come
back champions.
So ball season will be done, and then
I'll get to play more golf.
And lastly, algorithm stuntmen behind the scenes.
Oh, that's cool. So, like, they show so
there's couple of the ones that are in
my algorithm right now is stunt men getting
shot, so they're fake getting shot. So, like,
the reaction, like, throwing their head back or
getting blown away, and
then they, like, show that, and then they
show what it looks like in the movie.
It's super cool.
That would be neat. Like, this one guy
I've watched, like, 5 or 6, and he's,
like, an expert at getting shot.
It's like he just sells it so well.
So and then there's, like, car chase ones
and stuff like that. But yeah. So stuntmen
are in mine. And I had
because I had to drive home both days.
Thanks to my wife, she let me play
the member guest,
in rural Regina last week on her birthday.
So I said I'd come home both nights
after this one, so had to be responsible.
Just a responsible 21 drinks this week.
576. Very responsible.
Yeah. Thanks.
Who's going next? I'll go. You got a
trip to recap. Sure.
Oh, boy. Mine's actually I've even Mine's actually
fairly easy.
A little bit of golf. Actually, quite a
bit of golf trying to do a, little
bit of preparation for next week. Or actually,
I shouldn't say next week. For Friday,
little qualifier coming up. So trying to figure
a few things out.
Birthday was Friday, so played a ton of
golf on Friday. 36th birthday?
36. Yep.
Really good day for it. It was yeah.
Would you shoot both rounds? It was 68
and
72.
Not bad. Bogey free, the first round, which
was really nice. I haven't done that this
year. So,
that's always a welcome,
welcome addition to any Not like Lydia Ko
with her that stat that came out, was
it a 176
rounds of 136 rounds. 136 bogey free rounds
over the past how many years? That's gross.
4 years? 4 years. That's gross. Yeah. It's,
like, 50 more than the best PGA Tour
guy.
Wild stat.
And then my I guess, Kirsten's family. Some
of Kirsten's family came down this weekend. Her
parents and sister and brother-in-law and their kids
came down. Her mom's birthday was Saturday. Mine
was Friday. Hers is Saturday. So,
they did yeah. So they got a
I guess, it was a gift for Christmas.
And then we planned it around her birthday
to go skydiving. So it was supposed to
be Saturday. It was way too windy. They
were talking, like, 40 knots.
I don't know what the hell that means.
I know it was super windy.
So they'd end up canceling Saturday, and we
had to go back Sunday morning.
Got it done. They both loved it. They
were ready to go again. You go again
as well? I did not go again. I
would have gone again if we could have
had more than 2 of us jumping at
the same time. If they had 3 tandems,
I would have gone again. But I didn't
wanna go up by myself and yeah. It's
just whatever. Fair.
Other than those two things, not a ton.
Watching
all of the the Olympics that I can.
Yes. Just waking up in the morning and
with kinda my, fire stick that I have.
I have
we'll call it an illegals
Yes. Streams or whatever you wanna call it.
And it has every single event that's going
on, and you're just scrolling through everything and
watching. There's nothing better than
betting on Olympic sports.
Oh. Oh. It's because you're not typically following
these sports Yes. On a regular basis, so
you are kinda throwing darts.
But it's fun to throw darts at random
sports. Yes. And I I bet on badminton
today. I I think that you can you
can get one over a little bit on
the books, because they also don't know what
the fuck's going. Yeah. Like, fencing and Remember
when I went on the ping pong heater?
Yes. I went on I was in the,
Ukrainian cup or something. Yep. And I would
and bet 365 lets you watch them if
you bet on them. So I'm just watching
2 Ukrainian guys
play ping pong at, 11 PM
Saskatchewan time.
Want I want a little bit of money
doing it. Yeah. Brings back the, streak for
the cash. Oh, man. So the best. It's
hilarious you brought that up. My daughter,
she has her own phone. Sorry to Kai
about Shueke here, but it's a good story.
So she charged one of my old phones,
and we're talking, like, yeah, 4, 5, 6
years ago.
And I pull up because the best part
about the old phone is what apps did
I have on my home screen. Yeah. And
streak for the cash was on there. I
was like, man, I missed that game. That
was the best. You could literally just It
was. Pick
pick one side or the other on random
bets and how many you could get. Like,
so that's such a good throwback game. Yeah.
I don't even know. It might even still
exist, but don't play it.
Yeah. I think it does, but it's not
the same. Certainly not. No. Like, we were
betting on KHL first goals and stuff like
that. Yeah. F one and Yeah. What was
the baseball one when it was like that?
Oh, that was the history. Oh, that's That
was beat yeah. You just had a had
a 56 game history. That was also fun.
Yes. I think my high was 18,
which I thought was pretty good at the
time.
Other than that, nothing else.
Quite a few drinks this week.
How many? 23.
That, like, gets me to 533,
but I think that means I'm still behind
you. Yeah. You're 43 still behind me. That's
That's fine. And Brownell Brownell's having himself a
time up there, so he might catch me.
He's gonna come back next week with And
Harv, you a million. I'm sure Harv's crossed
300 now.
I did.
I was only 13 to get there.
My week yeah. So I went to Halifax
this past week.
So you said you hated Halifax without getting
out of the airport. What do you what's
your what's your recap of it after? Oh,
you know what?
You love it? You love it. It's great.
Like, if anyone
says they would go to BC
over Halifax, I'd look them straight in the
face, call them a fucking idiot. Yeah. Like,
I mean, it sucks
compared to Halifax.
Really? Halifax is so good. Yeah. So what
was the weather like there? Because that would
be my biggest concern. It was, like, 25
every day, but it felt it did feel
hotter, like, just humidity factor and whatnot. Okay.
But it was weather was unbelievable.
I can't complain there. But yeah. So I
get off the,
first off, the flight sucks. I will say
that it flying.
Well, for 5 hours straight, like, that's too
long to be in a plane. It just
is. And I had the exit row, and,
like, still, it's too long.
It's it's a long flight. That's so you
went Regina, Calgary, Calgary Yeah. Halifax? Yeah. That's
long. Which I don't understand why they wouldn't
just send us Regina, Toronto, Toronto. That's how
we flew. Yeah. So it wasn't as bad.
But work paid for it, so whatever.
Then I get there and been on a
plane for 5 hours, so I gotta go
find a restroom. I went 3 different restrooms.
They all smelled like a fucking bard. Like,
it I'm like, this isn't a good start.
So so finally
and I had to wait in the airport
for 2 hours for my wife to get
there, and then we go to our hotel
room. And it's a big fancy hotel right
on the water.
And we go check-in, get to our room,
and we go to our everyone else from
works there. They're texting, like, showing their views
out their windows. Oh, boy. I go into
my room. It is smaller than, like, this
square of your deck.
Oh, no. It was like a broom closet.
New guy.
Well, I'm not. But,
and, like, I'm, like, we can't stay in
here. So I went down and complained. And
did it work? Yep. Like, we didn't we
didn't have the best view, but, like, got
a way bigger room with a bigger bed.
And, like, this was, like, a double bed.
Really? It was so small.
I've always I've always tried to hold myself
back from complaining,
but the more I find I do it,
the more I get why people do it.
Yes. Yeah. You The squeaky wheels get the
grease. Absolutely.
Like, it is it is insane the amount
like, you just have to find the right
person that does not wanna deal with you
on that day. It's just like, yeah. I'll
give this guy whatever he wants just to
get them the hell out of here. And
you would think more often than not, everyone
feels that way. Yeah. I would. Yep. It's
like, yeah. You want this? Oh, let me
look up. And I guarantee when you look
at those screens and say they're full, they
have, like,
15 rooms. There's always a buffer. Yes. Because
all they're gonna do is they're gonna move
you into that room. They're gonna move move
someone else into the room Harv was in
that's not gonna complain,
and they'll eventually law of averages will say
someone will just take that room and be
happy with it. Yep.
Yeah. So
now we're at strike 2 in the first
day. And then so I had to go
down. We had this little event, and then
my wife was, like, well, there was a
superstore across the street. She was, like, I'm
just gonna run grab some grocery or some
snacks and groceries for the room.
So she goes, and we've been flying all
day. Like, we left Moose at 4
AM.
And now with the 3 hour time change,
it's, like, 11 PM or 10 PM, and
she's grabbing the stuff. So she's, like,
walks the cart right to the end of
the parking lot and just leaves it there
and starts walking. Well, someone
started yelling at her for not taking her
cart back and then, like, followed her back
to the hotel.
Really? Yeah. So she was like, this place
sucks.
And then after that, it was really good.
Downtown Halifax is awesome. Yeah. The harbor is
great. They have tons of places to go
down there. Yeah. You could go anywhere, and
the the bars are open super late. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Really? Oh, yeah. Like, it's, like,
3 in the morning. Maybe maybe 4. I'd
do they hazy on times? Yeah. But and
then you can go out and get, like,
burgers or pizza after that because those are
open till, like, 5 in the morning. Did
the harbor still have, like, that area that
almost looks like a fair almost where it's
just, like, lots of, like, street carts and
stuff like that all Yep. Open down there.
Yeah. That place is awesome.
Shipyard.
Shipyard. That sounds right. Yep. Did you go
to Alexander Keith's?
No. They went,
some of the people of, like, at the
conference, we had a free afternoon, so some
people went to that. We did, like, a
tour
of the big castle or whatever. Yeah. You
see the castle. You see the citadel hill,
and then Sure. Yep. It's like a bus,
but then the bus just drives into the
water. And then it just wheels around the
harbor. Oh, really? Yeah. That's fun. That's awesome.
So yeah. Yeah. It was pretty pretty good.
And?
Yeah. So
had a had to go
out 3 nights.
Had to.
But,
yeah. So I had well, my phone's not
open. I can't even remember. 30
seems low. Yeah. Well, it was only 3
nights.
I guess you're lucky your wife was there.
Yeah. That probably helped too. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Well, it certainly helped you steer your way
home. And it was early mornings.
So, like It's probably kept you walking in
a straight line. 30 3 drinks. 33 drinks.
So 3 20 on the year. That's not
bad. The other thing is I wanted to
bring up is, like,
I can't take a week off golf though.
Because came back, played Sunday morning, and it
wasn't pretty. Yeah. It was I haven't seen
you play like that all year. Yeah.
Crazy what a week that's It's weird that
the 82 I shot was as bad as
I played this year, but because those used
to be 90 twos. But,
yeah, it's something. It's Callaway equipment, man. It
has to be that. Because, like, but, like,
it was frustrating. A week off? Yeah. Never
again. Yeah.
Never again will I take a week off.
Yep. Oh,
thanks for mentioning the equipment because I said
I was gonna talk about the not having
the mini driver. So I just turned myself
into Brook Henderson. I'm just choking, like,
2 inches down, so I just basically shortened
my driver.
And I would say for the most part,
it was certainly wasn't my driver that was
the reason why we didn't play well. It
was the putter. Yeah. But I've found I've
found the center of the club face far
more often
and still hit the odd pull. That's all
you can do. Slice. Right? Like But everyone's
not gonna be perfect with that. That club.
So
Well, I mean,
my partner, Roro, Regina, Caleb, he's pretty automatic
with his driver, which is insane that you
could do it that consistently.
But we also,
we played some bonus holes. We didn't win
the,
the event, but we did play afterwards. We
4 groups went out, and we played some
bonus holes, and I played with, Sam Wills.
Oh, yeah. Man, like, he was
no. No. We drew balls. So there's 8
8 guys. We just threw balls in a
hat and then drew them out and Yeah.
Scrambled up the teams.
And, yeah, Sam was hitting the ball very
straight and very far. Good. Like, it was
good. I just hitched my wagon to him,
and we want some cash. Nice. So
before you my algorithm Yes. It was. I
just remember what it was that I was
gonna say it was. So I've got a
lot of squash
on the algorithm right now, and I don't
understand that game at all. Me neither.
But it looks fun. Mhmm. But then,
and, this has me terrified, actually. I got
on this
thing of, like, injuries.
Oh, no. Don't And just, like Stop watching
them. They'll get out of there. Know. But
I got went to the account, and I'm
like because the first one wasn't that bad.
And then I just kind of was scrolling
the account.
And now it's gonna be in there and
I'm just terrified of what I'm gonna see.
Because like this was like full on
bad injuries. Like
bent legs broken in half, arms broken in
half. I got hit by a truck. Like,
how are they allowed to post this thing?
Yeah. I did I did, have a,
briefly. I haven't seen it come back up
over this past week, but it was, an
account strictly for dash cam crashes.
Oh. And the one was terrifying. It was
a guy just driving, and a bus
just turns right in front of him, and
all you hear is the guy go, ah.
It's like the horn honking, the guy go,
ah. And then just, like,
fade to black. No. It doesn't fade to
black. It like, the crash, and then it's
just, like, the camera with broken glass of
the front window. Yeah. It's like that's an
account. Someone made that account and pulled up
all these videos, like, went hunting for these
things. Yeah. So now I'm worried that it's
gonna be in my algorithm for a bit
here. Yeah. It is. For sure.
Alright. We're 27 minutes in this thing, which
let's talk a little bit of golf.
3 m open, Harf. We got Jonathan
Vegas. Yep. Taylor Pendrith had a terrible Saturday.
Thought he had this thing.
And,
just couldn't quite pull it off. But
Johnny Vegas, that guy seems what career win
is that for him?
Only number 4,
but still, like, 4 what?
Well, he won back to back a few
years ago. At the Canadian Open. Yeah. Yeah.
And that was 7 oh, by the way,
that was 7 years ago. 7. And then
it's, like, then he won, what, 3 years
later, and then now it's 4 years after
that, something like that. Yeah. He had really
dropped off the face of the playoffs. I
think he was first, like, for a bit,
wasn't he? He just randomly comes back and
wins. He just, yeah, was not good, and
I'm gonna pull up his career here. Yeah.
So, I mean, I broke down turning back
the clock, like, the the I mean, all
time dog's breakfast of a leaderboard. Oh, man.
I know Brono's not here to appreciate that
saying, but,
yeah, like, it was
the most random leaderboard I've seen in a
long time with Kumpter up there,
Johnny Vegas up there.
He does he does have 3 straight top
thirties.
Like, he he either makes top 30 or
gets cut. He's 8 of 8 of 15
this year
with 7 of those 8 being in the
top 35.
Like, he's just like, yeah. I'm either gonna
play good this week or not. This year
has been solid for him, but he like,
prior to that, it's not been good. No.
Here's what I also wrote down. Like, now
he's gonna, like, screw me in picks because
now he's back on the radar, and I
remember we used to always pick him.
Someone would always pick him, and he'd never
be good.
But,
the weirdest thing was the ball that landed
in that security guard's arms.
Yeah. I understand that. Yeah. Just just the
fuck out of the way. Let him know.
Looking for his moment. That's all that is.
Like, yeah. It hits you. Just drop it.
Yeah. Like, it doesn't make any sense to
me. I when I saw that, I was
like, what the hell? Like, why would
he why would he just hold it there?
Yeah. Just to, like so that he could
like, I just, like, walk 3 steps forward,
give the guy a good good lie.
Or, I mean, just, like,
don't catch it. Like
Yeah. He won in 11, 16, 17,
and 24. Yeah. So 7 years. But, yeah,
that makes no like No. The backboard is
a thing. Everyone knows that. So this guy's
just doing it
for his 15 seconds of fame, I guess.
15 minutes of fame? 4 years and a
13 years or 4 wins and a 13
year span.
Yeah. I don't I don't have much for
this. I brought I put, Hayden Buckley on
here. We'll talk about him making a ace
in a little bit, but the hole before
that,
he made a double bogey because he's right
by the hazard
and tried to hack his shot out, and
it hit the red steak. And then bounced
in the water. And then, yeah, bounced back
down there.
But, like All time unload the stake. Why
would you pull the stake up?
Yes. It makes no sense.
You I guarantee he's pulling every steak within
a 20 yard radius moving forward. You're right.
Always,
when I get into situations where it's roped
off, I always forget to that you can
just, like, pull the 2 stakes around you
out so that that rope's just not in
your way. Yes. I always just, like, walk
up and hit it. Like, oh, I'm not
gonna hit that. If it's a white stake,
don't pull it out.
Why? Because it's illegal.
You cannot pull it out. Can't pull it
out, but typically, if you're hitting it, you're
already out of bounds. So why would you
pull the white stick? If your if your
ball you're in bounds Yep.
And the white stakes
behind you You can't touch it. You can't
touch it. No. It's a boundary stake. You
cannot pull it out.
Those white stakes gotta
go. Like, I don't I don't disagree. Make
them all
all red or, like, what's wrong with, like,
just a spray painted line? A
lot of spray paint. You
have to do that. Golf tournament.
No. Yeah. Probably. I mean, anyone playing
randomly on a Tuesday is pulling that white
stakes. They gotta swing. Yep. We're in a
tournament.
Just spray paint the ground. Yep. I appreciate
your honesty there because,
well, lack of honesty.
Because we all know if that white stakes
in your backswing, you ain't pulling the stake.
You're just bumping your ball and True. Yeah.
Absolutely. Like, if it Yeah. That's exactly
right. Which everyone does. Yeah. It's an old
bee stick. Well, I'll just move it ahead
a little bit. I'll just move. Everyone does
that.
Another one,
Jake Knapp withdrew from this tournament.
They're saying shoulder injury, and I just have
a tough time believing that with that swing.
Yeah. Unless it's unrelated to golf.
Yeah. This was Well, he does Saturday. Pretty
pretty Saturday.
Yeah. Pretty jacked dude. Maybe he heard it
lifting.
I mean, he played terrible Saturday. Yeah. But,
withdrawal for the,
Wyndham was here, he would tell you. It
was for to keep the world ranking points.
Absolutely.
And then Canadians, Pendrith was 5th, Mackenzie Hughes
was 19th,
Svensson 37th, Silverman
53rd,
Sloan and Hadwin missed the cuts.
Yuck. And then just the last thing I
had for the tournament here,
should the PGA Tour just do away with
these tournaments?
Like, like, they're having problems
keeping sponsors. Yes.
So, like, if 3 m wants a tournament,
like give them the Honda or whatever or
whatever right like
these ones
these ones are just
I don't know like
it's only gonna get worse, I think, as
well. When we're I was doing the preview
or getting the preview ready,
I was surprised that there wasn't
an alternate field event this week
for that exact reason. Because they just love
hosting
2 events. So I guess they're not Oh,
this upcoming week? Yes. Yeah. I thought there
would be 2. There isn't one. No. So
I'm at yeah. That just really surprised me.
I figured, without a doubt, there would be
something else going on for all of these
people that played in this event for the
most part. So they have somewhere else to
play and do another one, but
nothing. So I don't know if that means
they're learning
that exact same sentiment, or they just yeah.
Fuck. What what But at the same time,
they can't
because
then it's starting to emulate
another golf Yeah. Tours model,
which is why
They don't want yeah. I don't know. Well
and that's when you say do away with
this event, this is the whole point of
it is
guys have to cream has to rise to
the top, so they have to play well
here so they get into the other events
so they can showcase themselves. But could you
not is and the only reason why you
say dog's breakfast, we bring it up literally
every time we say dog's breakfast is it's
dog breakfast because they only get to play
in these events until they do well consistently
enough to become the other names in the
other events.
So I get it, but you're right that
from a viewership
perspective, you are the top league in the
world,
and you're trying to develop these guys, but
some people just
don't watch. They they need their tier system.
They're trying to pique
all of the young people's interest.
Unfortunately,
this does not do that.
The tier system, though, the problem with that
is they wouldn't watch tier 2. Like, let's
say Korn Ferry is tier 3,
and designated events are tier 1. The tier
2
events, they're not watching. A lot of people
aren't watching the Korn Ferry.
So it's like you're only gonna watch tier
1, and then it But how many people
live?
Yeah. I don't know. But
but people watching I guess there's no other
way to do it because, yeah, if you
We'll find out tier 1. All of a
sudden called tier 2, yeah, you don't get
the fans and blah blah blah, and purses
go down and
yeah. So there's no good way to do
it, but
they probably didn't need to have this tournament.
Yeah. Yep. Fair.
Ace's birthday shots of the week. Like I
mentioned, Hayden Buckley made an ace right after
that double.
And then John Catlin on the DP World
Tour had an ace as well.
Birthdays,
Sam Burns.
I didn't write down his age for some
reason. Chris Canoop.
Chris Canoop. No.
Jordan Speed turned 31.
Min Mu Lee turned 26, and Nelly Korda
turned 26.
Nice. This past year. Did you bet on
Nelly to win the gold medal?
No. But I do have a best bet
this week. Okay.
And then I think I didn't actually write
down a shot of the week, so I
don't know why I didn't do that either.
That's okay. That's okay. Let's talk, let's talk
news. Go straight into around the world. Why
not?
We could. Yep.
Doesn't look like there's a whole lot of
news. There's a little bit on that. Let's
start, with the LIV, I guess.
Jon Rahm. Love to. United Kingdom. Jon Rahm
gets his first win,
and the Legion 13 won the team's event.
Yeah. This is, second?
3rd?
3rd time they've won, I think. 3rd time
they won the teams, I think.
And I mean, tough way to win. Did
he win, or did Hatton lose. Right? Yep.
Do you think he missed on purpose?
I mean, it was a bad read. Right?
To give to give John his first win?
Like, Tyrrell doesn't care. Yeah. He's like, oh,
fuck. We're gonna win the team thing. You
probably saw
Rah moping around for the past year.
It's like, man, I will if this guy
gets anywhere near a victory, I'll give it
to him. And then it's like, this is
my chance. Yeah. Well, did you see how
pissed off Rahm got at the fans?
He's, like, backed off a chip twice and
swearing at them. Yes. He hates it there.
Yeah. I Yeah. He really does. He hates
it. Uh-huh. And then, Bronal, I'm Now he
got the win. Now he got the win.
And Bronal's not here, so I will take
his stance.
Jon Rahm has regretted that decision every single
day. So at all. Every single day No.
From the first from the 31st day that
he made that decision. No. I don't think
I think he loves it.
Other than him not having a really good
year,
he's been
I mean, not really good. He's gonna make
$10,000,000
in golf winnings along on top of the
100,000,000 he's getting just for being there. Yeah.
No. Money wise, no. And he
it's all goes back to what he said.
Like, it's it's about the competition. It's not
about the money.
And then he took the money, and then
now he's realizing
it was the competition. I have the money,
but now I really wish I had the
competition. So so you wanted his cake and
eat it too. The competition is there.
He started crying this week when he won.
That's how much it meant to him. No.
That's how much he The weight off the
shoulder. That's the weight off his shoulders to
You got it. Justify what he did. You
got it. Like, he has to win a
major next year, and then everything will be
good. Yes. But if he doesn't,
this is gonna
fire all out of control. He said, yeah.
Now,
I guess, whatever I've accomplished in my career
at top ten is not good enough in
the media's eyes, because he was pissed off.
Yeah. Like, he heard everybody saying the exact
same thing. He's, like, I just finished whatever
it was, t or 5th or whatever it
was at the Open.
And that's still not good enough. Now
he
is would he be considered a hall of
famer if he never wins another major?
I don't think so because it's too tied
to the PGA Tour. Now if he wins
a gold medal this week,
I don't Yeah?
I think I don't think if he wins
yeah.
Even if he stayed on the PGA Tour
and didn't win another major.
I guess it depends on how many wins
he gets, but Yeah. I think for him
going there now, it's a tough that's tough.
He he would not say that his career
is finished without another man. That's a really
good question.
Yeah. But, I mean, I think he gets
to I do think
I don't think it's the competition,
but I think
the playing regularly
or more regularly
keeps them in the game is I don't
think he can flip the switch like Bryson
and Brooks can. Yep. Yeah. I would agree
with that. Would probably be the the saying.
Champions tour, the senior open was won by
KJ Choi.
Stephen Ames was 4th. That guy's had a
pretty good season on the on the old
champions tour this year. It's kinda weird. Leaner
though.
Longer and Alker were 5th. Like, Longer was
5th at this. Like, it just makes no
sense
for that guy to be that good, that
quick after that at his age. Like, it's
insane.
Korn Ferry Tour, the NV 5 Invitational,
won by Thomas Rosenmueller.
Is that the guy from Rookie of the
Year? No. Henry Rohengartner. Oh, right. Riemann for
Rosenbacher.
Yeah.
This is a big, big plate trophy.
Yellow Mirage was 7th.
Good week for the canes, actually. Papineau was
26th.
Bateman was 60th. I guess, DeTuan Creighton missed
the cut, but but pretty good there.
The PG of America's
tour was the Commissionaires Ottawa Open,
won by
Baron Botha.
Just like a
like a isosceles
triangle, like a real pointy one,
trophy.
Claude Giroux,
remember the Ottawa Senators, was in this tournament,
finished absolute dead last. Plus 15. How did
he get in? Plus 15. That's not bad.
His bro his brother's in it. Like, he's
on the tour. I think it's his brother
or cousin or something like that. But,
yeah. So
it sponsor's exemption there. And then the LPGA,
the CPKC women's open played in Calgary
Yep. Was won by Lauren Coughlin.
Brooke Henderson was 8th.
Another good week for Canadians. Elena Sharp was
14th, Maude Amy LeBlanc was
19th,
and then Ellie Ceryk,
Maddie's sister, was 59th, and Savannah Gerwal was
67th.
Nice. And Maddie miscut. Yep. And there was
no tournament on the DP World Tour. And
then just some quick news. Quick hitters.
The Bryson and Trump
Woah. 50 video dropped. They shot 50 on
the nose.
So, that's tied for the best ever. Right?
I believe so. Yeah. Yep. Yep.
When I saw that come out,
my head immediately went to 10,000,000 views, and
I think they just crossed it. I was
actually just Pretty close.
Yeah. Like like, that is the perfect breaking
50 guy to have on. It's, like,
he obviously filmed it before you got shot.
9.6.
I just I yeah. In 6 days. Yeah.
First thing I saw was, like, that is
going to be absolutely viewed by
I I don't wanna I mean, I'm going
to say it, but I don't wanna correlate
the 2 things, but Trump getting shot definitely
helped with views.
Old problem. For sure. Because he was he's
Yeah. I mean, he's always up there in
Yep.
Stuff. But Yeah. But now they're saying he's
gonna lose. He's gonna lose the election. To
Kamala? That's what they're saying.
He he was minus 300 at one point,
like, a week and a half ago or,
like, kinda right after it happened. Now it's,
like, minus 120?
Yeah. It's going the other way. The one
of the reasons was because
even Democrats didn't wanna vote for Joe Biden
because that guy was Yeah. So bad. But,
yeah. They knew they had to do they
had they knew they had to to do
something, and they did it. And it seems
to be working. Maybe that was the plan
all along.
Well, to get get around Yeah. Someone else
being the candidate Yeah. And just handpick.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's a thing.
And yeah. If only if only that happened
in Canada, I guess. Yep.
I mean, I don't want it to, but
that's their only chance.
And then, Phil came out and said,
like, in
relation to this
Bryce and Trump thing that the tour actually
banned
players
from, like, doing their own YouTube channels. Like,
they're not allowed to do it without, like,
a Yeah.
Manufacturer thing or through the tours or whatever.
Well and
this all ties back to Bryson. Right? It's
Bryson seemed off on the PGA Tour. He
goes to live, and he starts doing all
this other stuff. He becomes far more likable,
and this is the reason why. Just let
them do whatever they wanna do. Well, I
think they're contractors.
Yeah. Like, I think Bryson doing, like, the
workout stuff and the meal stuff, like, that's
something the tour couldn't stop him from doing.
Whereas him making money off golf or whatever
videos Yeah. They could. It's like WWE when
they told all those girls they couldn't have
OnlyFans.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. They said that
to me. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Or, like, Twitch
streams or anything like that. They're making bank
doing that.
And there are some that quit wrestling because
their OnlyFans would do it so well. Yep.
Like, it's just like, okay. You can't do
this and wrestle at the same time. Okay.
I'm only gonna do this then. Yeah. Can
you think of a
better target market? Yeah. Exactly.
A bridge wrestling fan for an OnlyFans
performer.
Yeah. That's a great point. There's a direct
correlation to it.
Exactly.
Couple
Most of by the way, you're a huge
wrestling fan. Hey, Harvey? Oh, big time.
But not not that.
I couldn't force myself to spend money on
that. But,
RIP Mark Carnivale,
former PGA Tour Yeah. Winner and commentator passed
away. He passed away. Hey. Yep. He's
he's been the one of the voices that
I listened to on PGA Tour Radio That's
right. For the last 2 years. Yep. He
was very, very good at his job. Yeah.
And then, I mean, Chuck Woods had a
tough goal with the old junior. Throw him
under the bus, Arf. I mean,
he's no Miles Russell. Let's put it that
way. Oh, yeah. The I think he was
12 over on the 1st day. Right? Yep.
Then what did he show you? I don't
know. I just saw the 12 over 1.
He wasn't coming back from it.
This this whole Chuck Woods
struggling at
having
struggling at the sport that his dad's the
best ever at,
in my mind,
just goes to show, like, some of these
kids that come up, like, in Major League
Baseball is huge, right, for juniors coming up
and kids coming up. Just the fact that
the amount of pressure they would have just
having their dad at their games and stuff
like that That'd be so hard. To show
how much
they can go through to get
to the same spot that their parents did.
And there's genetics and But, like and all
that stuff. And but just think of, like,
your dad is in this in the big
leagues, and he comes to your ball game,
and you're, like, average. Like, what would that
do to you? It's just like, Charlie Woods,
the amount of pressure that that kid has
going on these things, it's just like, I
would not wanna be a golfer. No. But,
also, like, of all the good
second generation baseball players, it isn't
the best ever.
Yeah. That's true. Yeah. Like like you think
of Bobby Witt. Yeah. Bobby Jackson Holiday. I
think I mean, Ken Griffey junior, like,
their dads weren't the best ever. Yeah. But
that I'm just saying, like, to get your
kid to the highest levels hard enough, let
alone when your dad was the best at
that. And then to struggle,
like, he's gotta quit at some point, I
think. Or he's just gonna turn completely flip
the switch and just be like, okay. He's
great.
But, like, I don't know, man. Like, this
is this is tough to watch when they're
showing
when his dad's at the event. And you
I blame the media. Yeah. The media is
just showing, oh, Tiger sighting it. Well, yeah.
His kid's playing. Of course, he's gonna be
there. Yeah. He just And then all the
thing, walking without a brace, walking around, like,
let's give it up here, people. He's he's
done.
Yeah. Just these bugs.
Yes. Studio m back deck is Yeah.
I should've lit the citronella candle, I guess.
The,
Xander Schauffele majors
record that, like, record in the majors is
the 7th best all time for, like, they've
calculated how many people he beat in every
major Yep. And it's 7th best all time.
Yeah.
I mean, it's impressive.
He had a Very unlikable, but
He's not unlikable.
Back to last week, I still think I
would I still think Scottie would take Xander's
year.
Oh, I guarantee. Yeah. I believe you. Oh,
and the other stat is he has the
most top twenty finishes
ever
for a player's first 29 majors.
Really?
That's impressive. Yeah. So, I mean Yep.
Just couldn't win there for a while.
Next,
did did you guys see that video of
DJ Khaled?
No. I did not. Swimming?
He's on the map. To a par 3
green. So I don't know. Some course in
a tropical location
right on the ocean,
hits a tee
shot, and then just runs down the beach
and swims in the ocean all the way
to the green. And, like, it wasn't quick.
And the tweet I saw was, like, can
you imagine pulling up to a tee box
and having to wait 30 minutes while DJ
Khaled swims to the green? You could you
could have flat 5 groups play. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. It, yeah. It's He hit it to
5 feet and made the putt. Yeah. Allegedly.
Allegedly. Yeah. Well, after a few attempts Yes.
For sure. Yep. Yep. I like DJ Khaled.
His, although his Snapchat is, because he was
the king of Snapchat, so I followed him
to see what it was all about. And
it's, like, it was kinda boring. He just,
like,
basically showcased how rich he is. It's always
what food he's got. He's got his
his people cooking him, like, so many different
varieties of meals. Like, his meals
I hope he donates the leftovers because there's,
like, him, his 3 small children, his wife,
and there's it's like a meal for 27
people. Jeez. It's like, what are you doing,
man? Donate all that stuff. Yep. Next I
think he's hilarious.
The, Bryan Brothers
Yep. Are going to have an alternate stream
than the regular media for the FedEx Cup
playoffs. So kinda like the Manning cast sort
of thing. Right? Yes. I believe it's gonna
be similar.
Didn't they do that? Didn't they have that
already this year in alternate stream?
Yeah. I'm just trying to think who it
was. Yeah. Who was I can't remember what
that was.
Oh, shoot. We did. We talked about it
on the show. Yes.
But Cameron was They should do that. I
mean,
the Madden cast is one thing, but it
should be one where, like, people just swear.
Like, it's pay per view. You gotta pay
for it. And they just, like I think
they're a little more
Edgy.
Edgy is the term. Yeah. Yeah. You could
do alternate streams. Well, football's already doing it.
But you could do that for any like,
podcasters should have alternate streams.
Mhmm. Like, the good ones. Right? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Maybe not us, but the good ones.
I'm thinking of, like, hockey games and stuff
like that where it's literally just a livestream.
I think,
spinning chiclets did that once
for playoff games.
Barstool does it all the time. But, like,
they're watching just them talking and shooting the
shit. I know. But I would prefer it
to be, like, an actual, like, called event.
That's exactly right. NFL playoffs and have
called events.
Yeah. Just like
where you have someone with a high level
of knowledge. Like, if Manning cast was calling
not sitting there talking, but literally the announcers
of the game, be like, yeah. This guy
fucked up. Yeah. Yes. That's all you need.
That would that would do numbers. And, like,
throwing people under the bus. Like, getting Bronell
to to livestream a Steelers game.
But not livestream, but to call it. Be
like, oh, yeah. I hear it's 3rd down.
3rd and 2, and,
they handed it off fucking again.
Yeah. Like, Tomlin's gotta go. Tom Tom Tom
Yeah. Tom Tom Yeah. Kennedy's gotta go.
Yeah. That would be great to watch.
I guess there's also gonna be a creator's
classic, the Wednesday
9 hole tournament prior to the tour championship
at East Lake. So a lot of the
same guys that did that Myrtle Beach Yeah.
Tournament. Yep. I think. Yep.
So, like, yeah. I think I think the
Bryan brothers are there and Yep. Yeah. Well,
I did I actually really did enjoy the,
good, good open
at,
grass clippings Yep. That we played the week
after. Yep. But,
yeah. Like, stuff like that,
people will watch. Yes.
Yep. So And then Including the player match,
DTG versus the Warriors coming on on Wednesday.
Mhmm. And then last one here, Gary Player's
1974
Claret Jug
just sold for $481,000.
See, I don't know You're allowed to sell
it? Like, the replica, obviously, the one you
get to keep. The one you get to
keep. I don't know if that's cheaper if
that's expensive. I think that's expensive. I think
it's expensive too. And I also think, like
How I'm surprised Gary's not selling it during
the inaugural tee shot at the Masters. Yeah.
But but I it's more so for me,
like,
it's
a it's a replica.
It's not the Claret Jug. I I get
it's his, and it'll be a good one.
But, like, if you really wanted, like, a
replica of the Claret Jug, just go get
one
go get one. Yeah. Go get one made
for Is it legal? Is it a copyright
thing? I don't know. Like, if you went
to a tinsmith and said, hey. Make me
this,
and they could make it. I'd just take
that, and then I'd put it in my
room. And I'd say, yeah. There's a clear
Chuck. Wait a minute. Yeah. I didn't. I
paid $1,000,
not
481,000. Fair. Yeah. Like, how much money do
you have to have that you're spent you're
spending it on that?
Like, it's Like, you're touring around your friends.
They're like, yeah. I got Gary players. He
needs an 80 one player jug right there.
So
and then and then Gord, your buddy just
walks by, like, sweet. Yeah.
That's like Saving Silverman when they bought,
Bruce Springsteen's jacket.
Saving silver.
That is How do you know it's not
fake? Well, he signed it right there.
Like, that's one of my favorite I that
was one of my go to VHSs.
That,
Orange County, because it came out at the
same time. Oh, big jackpot. Man, Steve's on,
and Savy Silverman is so good in that.
Yeah.
Oh, man. Oh. Yeah. Savy Silverman's doesn't count
if it's 1 nacho. Right? Yeah. That's that.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Oh, man. I love that movie.
I might have to watch it soon.
I might blow it to VHS. Oh, yeah.
I just, like, the amount of money someone
must have to spend half a mil on
a replica
1974 trophy
is Price is a 1981. My bad. There's
too there is too many people with too
much money out there. That's it for news.
That's it. Let's go pick the cap. And
then we'll do picks off air because Brownell's
on here. I, I won the week. Nice,
Arv. Yep. Not Brownell.
Not Brownell.
So standings are
Matty b 31, Brono 29, Canoop 18, Harv
17.
I had Richard Huie,
Rico Huie. Rico Huie. It's probably
Rico for short.
Okay?
Rico Huie,
67th.
Kurt Kiddiamo has given to me, you got
6th. And Mac Meissner,
59th for a 44 average.
Canute was second but gave me Kitayama so
he picks 4th. I was second with one
made cut? Yeah.
Yeah. Your made cut was a 3rd, though,
I guess. It is Richard Huey. Is it?
Yeah.
But I think he goes by Rico. It
is Rico Huey, but his name is Richard.
Yeah. I told you. It's a classic short
name.
It's either Rico or Stemblom. Rico Stemblom.
Oh, sorry, That's great. Yeah. That's,
you're
never gonna be called for it to get.
Jake Jake Knapp, withdrew, so he got 75.
Hadwin, 74, miscut, and Maverick McNeely, 3rd for
a 51 average.
Bronell was 3rd. He had Lee Hodges, miscut
74.
Luke Clanton miscut 74, and Ben Silverman 53
for a 67
average.
And Matty b had Tristan
Lawrence,
74,
Nick Dunlap, 74, and Pearson Cootie, 72nd,
that are almost dead last Yep. For 73
average. That's something. Shit.
But that's it. That's it. So
normally when one guy misses, we do pick
on the pod. Right? Unless it's a major.
Unless it's not a major.
Yeah. So let's do it.
Do you got the preview?
Yeah. I do.
Golf Olympics,
Le Golf Nationale.
Just outside Paris. I think it I read
20 5 miles from It's one of the
best course in the world. Yeah. 25 miles
from the athletes village. Yep. And we got
par 71, 7,174
yards.
We're back here,
after the 2018 Ryder Cup, which obviously saw
Europe win.
They've played,
the French Open here 29 of the last
31 times. So some of the DP World
Tour guys are probably way more familiar with
this place than, the PGA Tour guys are.
This is the 3rd time that this event
has been played in the Olympics.
We had Justin Rose, who won the gold
the first time, and then Xander's obviously the
defending champion here,
this week.
And when that person got hit in the
eye at the Ryder Cup Yes.
We don't. That's all I could remember think
of when you when we thought said it
was that course.
K. So do we wanna pick? Yeah. We
are picking. And it's 5 plus 5,000 we
can pick.
55100.
Alright.
I'm up first. Yep.
I'm gonna give Come on. Give Bronell Scottie
Scheffler.
Wow.
What? I don't love that one bit. What
are you doing? You're did you make a
deal with him?
What do you mean? Yeah. He did. He
did. He did saw I didn't make a
deal. I'll tell you my mindset here.
Currently,
I have 2 trophies.
Currently Yeah. I know. You have 2 trophies.
Yeah. I see it. Canoop can't catch you.
Yeah. If Brona wins the year, he gets
2 trophies, and then I'm back in it
to be number 1 after next year.
There it is. Yep. Okay. Interesting. Alright, Canute.
That's brutal.
We just picked last. Bronell's, we had to
give Bronell.
No. So Bronell picks last week, give him
1 at the end. So it's me.
Well, I'm definitely taking Matthew Pavan.
Yep. That was Have to. Smart.
Have to.
K. So I got Pavan.
Now it's you, Canoop, because technically, you go
last, but Bronel goes last.
Oh, that's perfect.
You said what? Sorry. 51?
55. Yeah. He takes sixes.
Give me
How about Nick Hogarth?
K.
Back to you, Harv. Yep.
Who you got on your list?
I'm gonna take
Don't do it. Don't do it.
I'm gonna take Adrian Maronk.
Perfect.
I'm gonna take Victor Perez.
I think I gotta take
2
well, Victor Perez is also from France. Is
he not?
Yeah. He is. Yeah. Pavan and Perez. You're
all French. Yeah.
Gotta be a a national hero winning.
Damn it.
Who do I trust here? I don't know.
I don't I think it's a bit of
a crapshoot looking at this. Ben on.
Ben on.
K.
Canoop, you wanna make a deal? Yeah. I
don't care. Yeah. I think I think I
gotta get Xander,
and I'll take,
Fox.
K. I'll give you I'll give you anybody
but Xander, because I want Zach. No. You
give me Xander, and I'll give you I'll
give you the top guy for every tournament
here on out.
That's a good deal. I know it is,
but I don't I can't guarantee Unless you
don't win the week, and I'll just give
Canoop right out the gates,
because now I'm aware of this deal. That's
right.
Yeah. That's fine. Can Canoop still gets what
he wants.
How does he get what he wants? Oh,
you're gonna give me the best guy every
week? No. I'm gonna give him the worst
available guy every week. Oh, I see. They
just end up picking for me some schmag
first. But it'll be my first pick every
time, so they have to sewer themselves every
week.
You give me, Xander, my first pick every
single time as the best guy in the
field to you.
Don't let him don't let him ruin picks.
How am I ruining him? You just said.
So now you need ruining him. You need
to ruin him, canoe. You can't catch him.
Get it.
You can't catch him. And now you're the
I'm more explain the math to me first.
Tell me why I can't. Because we had
3 this week, plus winning the score gets
me to 23.
We have a tournament next week Mhmm. Which
you can get Yeah. If you win out,
you can catch him. Are you gonna win
out with the best guy in the field
every time? You never know.
Unfortunately,
I think Scott is gonna win this week.
Well, then no no sense in not giving
me Xander.
K. Give me
Yeah. Oh, and you get to pick your
guy right now.
Give me
oh, fuck. Well, you have to give me
Xander first,
and then I'll know that the deal's good.
You're first. It's not my pick.
No. You're first before.
Oh, so you can call my love. Fig.
I'll give Canoop Ludwig
a bear.
Now he can screw me. I guess, Matty
p can have them. Oh, baby. Xander and
2 locals? Yes. I love those and bad.
I do I do have a best bet.
And it is We got well, we got
a big for Bruno. You guys gotta each
give Bruno one because I gave him a
chef. Oh, I'm giving him Wyndham
Clark. That was nice of you.
I wanna bet him to miss the cut
this week. Yeah.
You gotta give him guard Gargi. Someone's gotta
give me Gagangit.
Gagangit.
Oh.
What? Yeah. You can pick whoever you want.
I gotta pick whoever I want. Oh, I'll
close the loop. Yep. Because we went back
and forth.
Well, go ahead. You can't have Xander Ludvigor.
No. I gotta look. Take Rory. Take Rory.
I'll take whoever I wanna take when I
get there. Okay. But who's giving Bronal
Gaganjeet
Boular? He can have Gaganjeet Boular Yep. And
Shubankar Sharma. Well, no. You can't win them
Clark. Oh,
fuck. Card laid. Card laid. Well, no. That's
his top guy. He was he spoke out
of terms. I know. I didn't know. Clark's
outside the top. I gave him Scottie Scheffler.
Oh,
card lads, card played shit. So he's got
Gaganjee, Boular, and Wyndham. I forgot about that.
You're too busy trying to screw the system.
Well, no. No. Brono Brono could just give
you o to turn. It was actually your
turn Mhmm. To pick for yourself.
That's a good point. I don't think so.
Yeah. It's okay. I picked Ryan Fox.
Yeah. And then he picked, I said, Luca.
I already made 3 picks, so how could
it be my turn?
I gave Shelfler. I picked Maronk, and then
I picked Fox. Saying it was my turn
to pick. For Bronco. Before Bronco before we
picked Bronco. I gave Bronco. Pick right out
of the gates.
We're not talking about that one. We're talking
about the Clark one. Yeah. But We're only
picking 3. You screwed that up. You screwed
that up. Yes. Because we said we were
gonna pick all of our guys first and
then pick That's right. Pick one else. That
was after I had already said Scheffler for
Broil. Yeah. Well, that was a problem on
your part.
Alright. Pick Doesn't matter. People getting Dagen Jeet
Bughar and Shubhanger
Sharma
and Scottie Scheffer. That's his team. Okay. Yeah.
Who are these boo okay. Bular,
Sharma. Sharma played well at Genesis. I know.
Schubunker's got a chance.
Where is he?
He's 226.
Okay. Yeah.
Sharma,
Sheffler, and Bular. Yep. And I gotta pick
my own guy. Yep. John Rahm. John Rahm.
Good for you. I like that link. Big
champion.
You played really well. I like 2 locals
in Xander. That's good for me. Thank you.
And now I don't even have to think
about picks. My first pick every week here
on out. Yep. So Sharma No one else
is gonna hate this.
I'm gonna tell them just fast forward to
57 minutes of the pod. Boular.
And what's your best bet?
What is it? Top finishes, Scottie and Xander,
12. Doesn't matter the order.
That's what it is. And what's that? Plus
20.
Plus 2,000. Plus 2,000. 20 to 1. Yep.
The best 2 guys in the field.
I think Plus 2,000?
Plus 20. Or yes. Right. Plus 2,000.
That's a good bet.
I really think that
that these are, by far yes. By far
the best players in the world.
I this course suits both of them.
Target ish golf, fairly decent putters. We'll see
if Scottie can do that this week. I
mean yeah. Yeah.
I'll
bet it. I already did. Good.
I like that. The Mustangs do too. You
should've went top 3. Pick pick the podium.
Pick the podium. Oh, that's actually I like
that. With Ludwig?
I wonder if you can do that in
here. Pick the podium. I like that. That's
is that your own oh, you just come
up. I just came that just came to
me. Oh, my gosh.
That should be pick the podium That should
be every horse racing.
Right? Pick the podium. Yeah.
That you actually have to, like,
trademark that
and create your own book and just hope
no one ever does it. You just make
so much money.
Picking the podium would be so hard too.
Maybe not in, like, track and field.
Well, there's always that random bronze medalist too.
Yep.
I think Arv's on to some. Do you
mean, like, Rory Sabatini?
Yeah. That's exactly what I mean. I mean,
that 100 meter where 1 guy just, like,
randomly gets 3rd. 200 meter where someone gets
3rd.
Swimming.
Yeah. All events. Doesn't look like it can
do it. Okay. You guys got anything else?
Nope.
Nope. Alright. Well, that was easy. We still
made it in an hour, and Bronell wasn't
even here yapping. That's right. But, he'll be
back next week, I'm sure. I'll be back
from Calgary. I think we'll all be here.
I might be not. Actually, I won't be
here next week. Oh.
You mean to call out again next week?
I'll be I'm in NiFi.
Well, Long Weekend. On the It's the day
you get back from long weekend. Not me.
I will still I'll be starting a golf
tournament, hopefully, on Monday. Yeah. Good luck in
your qualifier. Thank you.
But until next week, it's time for us
to hit the clubhouse.
