Good morning, and welcome to the F fps
Bet slip on Tuesday the 20 third of
July apollo g's for radio silence. Just been...
I'm gonna say super busy, but I was
up at the open, so I won't get
away with that.
But just full on.
Traveled up on the train last Wednesday.
Day at the open on Thursday, played renaissance
on Friday, day at the open Saturday,
in a farmhouse watched the open on Sunday,
train back yesterday. I've got a Golf Charity
due today.
And then we have the F t London
meet up tomorrow. Let's start with that. I
will be at the Bitumen
arms from about 12:30 onwards
for a good few hours,
feel free to pop along bitumen arms. It's
upstairs at Sent.
Hotel side of the station. So if you
if you come in on the train saint
Pancreas, you'd
need to stay up. Stay upstairs and walk
to the hotel end of the station. If
you're coming into any other
par saint pancreas you enter in the S
Hotel, main entrance. There's a driveway there cobb
driveway, the entrance to the pub is down
on the right hand side at the sort
of bottom of the slope.
So, yeah. So look forward to seeing... I
know some of you are coming, look forward
to seeing some of you there.
Just
chat, speak to who you like, Ask questions.
I have a bit of a relaxed sort
of networking catch up.
Yeah. Let's turn to the trip to Scotland
and the Gulf.
Absolutely lovely. I mean, they haven't seen the
sun.
I don't know where the sun is. Do
they...
It was when I got off the training
Kit again last night. I was absolutely shattered,
got off the training Kit that the sun
appeared.
The weather on the Saturday
was absolutely brutal true.
From them the minute you have to drive
to the park and ride, get the bus
of the group station. Bus of the course.
It's about a 25
30 minute walk then into the actual course
from from where they drop you.
Absolutely soaking wet sitting a stand soaking wet.
But it is, and it was a fantastic
open, and sometimes in life, you just have
to admit
that people prove you're wrong. I was
as people know, very much
Za She is
fails to get it done,
up until the players this year he was
still showing that that he fails to get
it done.
But he won that the pga
championship in Good style in
Val
in May,
and
absolutely
flawless on Sunday in the open, you couldn't
you couldn't... Kind money. When he hit that
shot into 11, but
went to about 2 foot.
You kind of thought then it was all
over, and the big difference set sector, the
difference was highlighted between him and rose. And
I'd
I'd briefly mentioned rose in my open preview
as somebody whose price was too big. And
I know some of you
did pick up on that I had a
small dab on, but he wasn't he wasn't
in my... You know, the the pics I
posted, but I did mention him.
He played great. He played absolutely fantastic, but
the difference was and and the difference in
Xander game is the 1 thing that
always... I always questioned with them was when
the chips were down a bit like fleet
where the pots didn't go in.
Heat pat superb,
particularly on Sunday.
I mean, he he kinda showed a bit
of his old self on Saturday, played really
well Saturday, but didn't hole anything anything he
think, well if he does that, he's not
gonna win.
But Sunday found the
center of the cup relentlessly,
you know, particularly around that turn the back
9. And Rose
just didn't get the ball in the whole
rose. Rose played absolutely great. He just he
just kept shaving the hole, and and it
could have been so different for him.
Had he hold you know, hold a few
parts, but it they say it's the game
within the game. It's often the deciding factor.
As he said himself, Justin Rose, he can
be very proud of he played. I thought
he played great.
Just Za was too good, Simple as that.
He was absolutely relentless.
Shooting in 65 on
on Sunday. The only man to shoot 65
in 2 majors in a year to win
them.
Just... Yeah, Just played superb.
Kraken championship,
absolutely brilliant bar the weather fantastic golf course.
But the... You know, a lot of I...
You know, a lot of people are hear
me say it. It's the great the
we need more tournaments like that. We need
more tournaments that are beyond how far you
can hit it and how well you wedge
it
the best way to achieve that is through
great quality
architecture and the natural elements. I do think
they need to roll the ball back.
But the that the open showed why venues
matter.
And I know it's a valid point. Somebody
said that 1 of the reasons it's not
the greatest is because of the draw bias.
It kind of evens out. And and if
you look at the performance of lowry on
Saturday, and his behavior afterwards, which I just
thought frankly was disgraceful.
He didn't mention the fact that he'd had
a huge
advantage
on Thursday and Friday from the draw by
he'd had.
Instead just wind about avenue driver, a second
shot at 15, which none of them were
getting up at 15 Scotty She, World number
1. Rose,
Za, none of them were getting up on
15 and he comes off the Golf course
having shot, whatever it was 7 over bleaching
and moaning.
And all a bit un savory.
And there's no need for it. Just play
better simple as that.
You didn't need to lose your head. He
lost his head after the double at 8.
That affected his game. He fell the pieces,
and then he starts having a moment about
the golf course a bit like that other
material hand.
Who it wasn't a problem when he finished
fifth in
20 16 round around there, but all of
us sudden because he's not playing well it
is.
Part of golf is keeping your head,
not letting things get to you, particularly in
the open and playing, and and the likes
of Za did that. I thought... I thought
She played really well. Just again is putting
let him down, which it can do with
him if something goes.
Bar t shot on 18 on Sunday, which
was something we can all relate to.
But we do need to see
you know, it it just... The open to
me, it it's about playing all the shots
and playing golf, not just this bomb down
there. You know, American Gulf week to week,
even the mask just doesn't change. It's just
bomb down there smack it on,
nothing like
what we saw last week. It was abs...
I thought it was absolutely super superb last
week. I really enjoyed it.
I do just love the tournament.
Yeah. I just thought it was an absolutely
superb.
As always, the people of Scotland, the plate
people where we stayed. We're just absolutely
fantastic, lovely people. We stayed out near K.
A host. There were just lovely lovely people,
fantastic. III
give
the Scottish people
Scottish members of F, a bit of a
laugh and joke. Some people can't take a
joke. That's just the way the world's going
to take it seriously.
I've said it many times absolutely love the
country. If you had a bit of sun,
it would be amazing.
We're actually having our holiday up there this
year because, normally we'd go to Vegas in
September, because the dogs not been great. We're
kind of bend
holidays that take us away across the other
side of the world in case anything happened.
So we're taking the dog with us and
going to Scotland in September.
Love the place. People are fantastic. Got some
strange old habits like deep frying pies,
and mars bars and things, and pizza crunch.
And boneless sup, but lovely people
thoroughly enjoyed it fantastic place.
Yeah. Recommend to anybody. It's a great great
place to go and an opening in Scotland
is always
or special even when it was absolutely hammering
it down,
they seem to maintain a sense of humor.
But, yeah, a fantastic championship
well done to just... Well done justin Rose,
but Za was a
a worthy worthy champion And obviously, that winning
that 1 just shows what happens when you
get that sort of monkey off your back.
Now, you look at the players like Westwood
Montgomery, who never did it,
and fear fleet would might be 1.
But
it was just a. Thought it a fantastic
tournament.
So
Yeah. Really good. Really
really was
thoroughly enjoyed it and playing
renaissance on
Friday, which had been the
host the venue of the Scottish open.
Apparently it's 200 grand to be a member
there.
I wouldn't pay 2 underground to be a
member that. I just think that's obscene. And
I understand why they they wanna create that
exclusivity, but
absolutely lovely club out and service superb
had a very kind host who took us
around there,
ian and
my brother and a friend of mine and
we had, my boy added for me.
It was absolutely
stunning golf course.
Actually played okay. I was really naked,
but I hit the ball okay. It's overly
difficult. I found. I found... I'd actually drove
my ball up the right on
the par 5, whatever hole is.
14 15, whatever hole it is, and I
was about 5 yards from Bob Mcintyre tires,
sprinkler head. And it's all been cleared now.
So you can see the sprinkler head clearly
in the rough.
There is a sprinkler head there. I can
vouch for. Having said it was a modi
drop.
I still beg belief why there is a
sprinkler here there. I mean it is in
the middle of,
sort of foot high rough
I did find my, but I didn't have
a sprinkler head. I could only wedge it
out,
which is what he would have had to
do. But
yeah, I did see the bob mcintyre spring
name there, but a beautiful golf of course.
Yeah, Fantastic place certainly somewhere I'd like to
visit in. And I did come away. I
think I'd just love to play more golfing
Scotland Having been to saint Andrews earlier this
year, and then that on Friday,
you know, and I'm looking at trump thinking,
I'd love to come up and play this
So I think I might get gulf trip
sorted for Scotland sometime
over the next couple of years.
Yes. But thank you to everyone. I met.
Bumped into just to just walking around many
fans they have in 40 50000 fans. I
bumped into a couple of people that I
know as well.

But fantastic, on yes, and well done sandler.
They're around 4 that is the end of
the majors. We gotta wait all the time
until next April for the Old garden sent
them to open up again.
Ready for it.
So, yeah, I've got a bit of a
busy week, but then that's it after Monday.
I've got a couple of appointments and in
Monday. On appointment. And then
we are back at it. There will be
another nuts and bolts. I've gotta do the
nuts and bolts podcast for episode 3.

and help as many of you.
Who want to do it, do it, obviously,
I'll get a lot of emails this time
of year or does it work? I can't
do it and people tell. People tell me
People tell me training doesn't work. Data analysts
tell me trading doesn't work.
If if every single person lost, then there
wouldn't be an exchange with them because we'd
all just pick up
I, it's that, I'm always reminded of that
saying, if you say you can or you
can't,
you're right either way.
Absolutely ludicrous how people go about some things,
but there we go. Right. Have a lovely...
What day is it? I don't know. No

to profit throughout this season.
Okay. Have a lovely day, and I'll be
back with you all soon.
