00:00:22.254 --> 00:00:23.554
what is up everybody?
00:00:23.554 --> 00:00:28.838
Welcome to another episode of the Chasing Daylight podcast.
00:00:28.838 --> 00:00:31.329
Vegas Golf is in the news.
00:00:31.329 --> 00:00:44.006
If you, or anybody or anyone that follows the golf world, vegas was center stage tonight as the Cryptocom showdown at Shadow wrapped up about an hour and a half ago.
00:00:44.006 --> 00:00:44.630
About what?
00:00:44.630 --> 00:00:45.674
About an hour and a half ago?
00:00:46.360 --> 00:00:50.930
I don't know, yeah, about an hour and a half ago um, so we're gonna be chatting about that.
00:00:51.591 --> 00:00:57.651
Uh, also in vegas golf news, the pga tour has decided 42 years was a long enough run.
00:00:57.651 --> 00:00:59.581
Uh, we're not going back to vegas.
00:00:59.581 --> 00:01:04.531
We had feelings that was gonna happen, but but that sucked.
00:01:04.531 --> 00:01:08.644
That sucked, our boy HasherHack.
00:01:08.644 --> 00:01:16.510
We'll have an update on that and then maybe get into a slow play rant.
00:01:16.510 --> 00:01:18.134
I don't know.
00:01:19.724 --> 00:01:28.688
I had in chipping and chatting earlier this week, I had a little talk about an idea that I had that, you know, some people liked it, some people didn't, but we'll see.
00:01:28.688 --> 00:01:40.981
And then also, big news, we'll do after the break, beautiful golf courses and us, the CDP, are teaming up for a fantasy golf league that you're going to want to find out about.
00:01:40.981 --> 00:01:42.125
So stick around for that.
00:01:42.125 --> 00:01:45.334
Other than that, you don't want to make sure that we stick around for that.
00:01:45.334 --> 00:01:48.355
Other than that, uh, you know, want to make sure that we give some love to the people who support us.
00:01:48.355 --> 00:01:56.209
Uh, that is, uh, the golf stop, roars, golf las vegas golf superstore and our friend scott russo from unwritten law.

Yeah, it's great fantastic fantastic, fantastic raiders were on monday night football, and what a game.
00:02:10.965 --> 00:02:12.108
What a fucking game.
00:02:12.108 --> 00:02:14.013
So good, oh, it was incredible.
00:02:14.252 --> 00:02:18.784
A 9, 15 shellacking at the end.
00:02:19.126 --> 00:02:21.412
Raiders are two and what two and twelve?
00:02:21.412 --> 00:02:24.419
Fucking, just what a what a fucking awesome.
00:02:24.419 --> 00:02:24.626
Hey, they, they.
00:02:24.626 --> 00:02:24.824
They said they pull out the win.
00:02:24.824 --> 00:02:25.063
They're seventh on the board for the draft.
00:02:25.063 --> 00:02:25.171
What 2-12?
00:02:25.171 --> 00:02:25.918
Fucking, just what a fucking awesome football team bro.
00:02:26.742 --> 00:02:27.888
They said they pull out the win.
00:02:27.888 --> 00:02:31.745
They're seventh on the board for the draft Now third number in the two spot.
00:02:33.490 --> 00:02:33.751
Yeah.
00:02:33.751 --> 00:02:37.627
Yeah, it's a bit of a shit show down there, but it's par for the course.
00:02:37.627 --> 00:02:41.168
You can say that for the last 20, 25 years.
00:02:41.830 --> 00:02:44.926
You know what I see?
00:02:44.926 --> 00:02:47.212
They're playing with heart and they're trying.
00:02:47.212 --> 00:02:51.971
They just don't have the tools right now, just shit dude.
00:02:52.091 --> 00:02:55.105
Yeah, just shit, Well I mean you know it starts at the top.
00:02:55.126 --> 00:02:55.968
You got a bad coach.
00:02:55.968 --> 00:02:57.192
You got a bad quarterback.
00:02:57.192 --> 00:03:01.204
You got a shit ton of injuries, so many injuries.
00:03:01.204 --> 00:03:02.389
It's a bad product.
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:03.941
Yeah.
00:03:03.941 --> 00:03:05.625
And unfortunately, in the NFL.
00:03:05.625 --> 00:03:08.171
When that happens, you don't win games.
00:03:08.171 --> 00:03:10.567
So Raiders are struggling.
00:03:10.567 --> 00:03:15.189
The men's UNLV basketball team is struggling.
00:03:15.189 --> 00:03:21.199
They lost a heartbreaker tonight, last second on the road against the number 22 team in the country.
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:22.264
That would have been a nice win.
00:03:22.264 --> 00:03:24.276
But somebody tweeted earlier today that the UNLV football team number 22 team in the country.
00:03:24.276 --> 00:03:24.819
That would have been a nice win.
00:03:24.819 --> 00:03:32.844
But another somebody uh tweeted earlier today that the uh unlv football team in back-to-back seasons has more wins than the men's basketball team in december.
00:03:33.306 --> 00:03:46.472
So, dude, that's so it's crazy when you think about unlv sports, though, like they used to be a force when it came to basketball oh yeah bro, like you have no idea jeremy like 1990.
00:03:46.512 --> 00:04:07.015
Bro, like you have no idea how I I love watching them in 1990, I bet 18 000 people packed in the team on tuesday nights gucci row, I mean god rebel room fucking it was crazyquet fucking short rib and banquet chicken breast Just flying.
00:04:08.302 --> 00:04:14.170
Just out of the banquet colanders.
00:04:14.170 --> 00:04:18.528
Someday It'll come back, it was glorious.
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.062
It was absolutely glorious.
00:04:20.122 --> 00:04:21.346
Nothing lives forever, nope.
00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:26.148
We got the Knights on a hot run right now.
00:04:26.148 --> 00:04:27.411
They're doing well.
00:04:27.411 --> 00:04:37.791
I said earlier, you know, in my chipping and chatting tonight or earlier today, you know this is the hotbed of sports right now.
00:04:37.791 --> 00:04:40.067
We've got NFL team.
00:04:40.067 --> 00:04:43.170
We've got NHL franchise that won the Stanley Cup.
00:04:43.170 --> 00:04:46.189
The Aces have won multiple championships.
00:04:46.189 --> 00:04:57.470
You got the Formula One with its second year, two NASCAR races, two NHRA races, a marathon, the AAA baseball, aaa hockey.
00:04:57.470 --> 00:05:00.629
Now we got a basketball facility that's being built.
00:05:00.629 --> 00:05:02.232
So you know there's an NBA team coming.
00:05:02.634 --> 00:05:03.178
The A's are coming.
00:05:03.178 --> 00:05:05.802
The best damn rodeo in the world, yeah, the best damn rodeo ever.
00:05:05.822 --> 00:05:23.290
The best damn rodeo in the world yeah, best rodeo, rodeo in the world yeah, all kinds of we just had the super bowl, we had conference championships, the nfl draft, I mean, there's so much going on and, uh, you know the pg we got no golf looked that over and went man, there's no reason for us to be there.
00:05:23.290 --> 00:05:27.322
Yeah, it's absolutely pathetic, I think.
00:05:27.601 --> 00:05:29.067
I think it will make a return and it.
00:05:29.067 --> 00:05:33.348
You know how sometimes they change it up a little bit later in the year they can change the schedules.
00:05:33.348 --> 00:05:35.786
We'll see Maybe maybe someone will come through.
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.908
Maybe somebody actually went.
00:05:39.908 --> 00:05:40.990
You know what?
00:05:40.990 --> 00:05:47.072
Yeah, october is awesome weather, but we can't have a pga event in vegas in october.
00:05:47.072 --> 00:05:50.887
We, we got to move this to spring, you know, and and get.
00:05:50.968 --> 00:05:54.845
I want to see him at fucking coyote, bro, like, like, that's what I'm dying to see.
00:05:54.845 --> 00:05:56.891
I want to see those guys at coyote.
00:05:56.891 --> 00:06:00.144
Yeah, I really do like, are it?
00:06:00.144 --> 00:06:01.165
Am I wrong there?
00:06:01.165 --> 00:06:02.668
Do you guys not want to see?
00:06:02.668 --> 00:06:04.591
I do want to, for sure.
00:06:04.591 --> 00:06:13.790
I mean, I know it's out there, right, but you know they can get shuttled, but I would love to see those guys play at Coyote Springs.
00:06:15.281 --> 00:06:18.110
What makes it so appealing for you to want to see them out there.
00:06:18.139 --> 00:06:18.300
I mean.
00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:21.089
I know why, but people listening may not know why.
00:06:21.779 --> 00:06:25.591
You can stretch it out to the length that they play on PGA right.
00:06:25.591 --> 00:06:26.985
They can play the length.
00:06:26.985 --> 00:06:29.927
The greens are not easy.
00:06:29.927 --> 00:06:45.274
It's not very forgiving, you know, and it's a hidden gem that a lot of people have no clue about, like even like people coming into town, they ask us what should we play?
00:06:45.274 --> 00:06:46.939
You know, and for us, like we know, coming into town, they ask us what should we play?
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:57.528
You know, and for us, like we know, the courses that they should play, you know it used to be um prim was always one that we would suggest, but it's piute, boulder creek or coyote springs.
00:06:57.528 --> 00:07:05.370
Yep, I mean I'd love to see them play boulder creek too, but I don't think that has as much character as Coyote does.
00:07:05.370 --> 00:07:18.348
And obviously, with Corn Fairy going to Paiute, they ate that shit up and I think maybe they wouldn't be able to eat Coyote up as as much as the Corn Fairy did at Paiute.
00:07:18.348 --> 00:07:21.535
I know it's out there, but you know it's.
00:07:21.535 --> 00:07:42.704
It's not an easy golf course and I think it would provide a great test to the best players in the world and I would love to see what they can do out there dan, what's kyle kyle shoot out there if he plays it probably a couple under two to four under probably yeah, well, it depends on pins.
00:07:42.745 --> 00:07:43.887
You can like they can pins.
00:07:43.928 --> 00:07:44.529
He can do that.
00:07:44.529 --> 00:07:49.651
They're not going to make him Mitch's revenge pins they're going to make him.
00:07:49.670 --> 00:07:50.074
I know that.
00:07:53.668 --> 00:07:55.011
I agree with you for the most part, Joe.
00:07:55.011 --> 00:07:57.365
That's a good test.
00:07:57.365 --> 00:08:08.665
The one thing about it is that it's terrible to walk for guests and stuff and they won't that I won't pick a golf course that won't you know.
00:08:08.665 --> 00:08:18.622
Get people out there well, black desert is not an easy walk for spectators, that's true, that's true, but they do have room out there to put up grandstands and stuff.
00:08:18.622 --> 00:08:23.843
Um, I don't know if they could do that at uh, on certain roles, with all the empty house lots.
00:08:23.903 --> 00:08:24.425
Yeah, they could.
00:08:25.086 --> 00:08:35.429
I mean I'm sure they could but you know with all the shrubbery that's yeah, but not only that, but like, if you think about the golf course, there's really not a lot of home sites that are right on the golf course.
00:08:35.429 --> 00:08:39.508
You have all those shrubs and nasty rocks and then there.
00:08:39.607 --> 00:08:43.589
there's points where you pass under the bridge twice, like there's two different spots where you pass under the bridge twice.
00:08:43.589 --> 00:08:46.745
There's two different spots where you pass under the bridge Am I wrong.
00:08:46.765 --> 00:08:48.746
There You're right.
00:08:49.520 --> 00:08:57.030
You can put concessions there, they would have to have the clubhouse built where it's supposed to be built.
00:08:57.736 --> 00:08:59.024
Exactly On top of the ranch.
00:08:59.024 --> 00:09:01.746
Not a fucking trailer.
00:09:01.767 --> 00:09:02.389
Not a trailer.
00:09:03.942 --> 00:09:04.846
Hopefully in the future.
00:09:04.846 --> 00:09:08.207
I would love to see them out there.
00:09:08.207 --> 00:09:13.971
I mean, I think that is the hardest golf course in our vicinity.
00:09:13.971 --> 00:09:15.173
Am I wrong there?
00:09:17.181 --> 00:09:24.474
I would be curious what's so high is rated now that they've moved the fairways in.
00:09:24.474 --> 00:09:27.702
You know that they've tightened that place up, just as I.
00:09:27.722 --> 00:09:45.429
I know it's shorter and it's, uh, a little bit more forgiving than than coyote, but I well, when those, when the coyote greens are quick, like I don't think there's anything harder, so I I would just I would love to see them out there.
00:09:46.532 --> 00:09:49.943
I would love badlands maybe back in the day oh, that's gone.
00:09:50.645 --> 00:09:51.989
I would just love to see them out there, I think.
00:09:51.989 --> 00:10:00.121
I think it'd be really cool to see those guys out there, because they should get the skins game out there that'd be really rad, that would be cool.
00:10:00.121 --> 00:10:11.268
That would be cool yeah, so uh well that's supposed to be coming back, right yeah, they're supposed to be yeah, so that'd be great.
00:10:11.488 --> 00:10:20.613
I'd love it we'll uh keep our ears to the, you know, ears to the ground, and if we hear something, I mean the schedule's out.
00:10:20.613 --> 00:10:23.104
So 2025, it's gone it.
00:10:23.104 --> 00:10:27.253
You know there's no PGA Tour event in Vegas this year.
00:10:27.253 --> 00:10:40.350
Haven't seen the live schedule yet, but based on the ads that I saw during the showdown tonight certainly looked like Vegas is still in the mix, because there was a lot of Vegas in that.
00:10:40.350 --> 00:10:44.903
They still haven't released a full schedule for that Dan shared earlier.
00:10:44.903 --> 00:10:57.788
Earlier there was rumbling all over the place that uh, fox sports and them, or with the live, is about to uh have a deal, which I mean it's got to be better than the cw.
00:10:57.889 --> 00:10:59.011
But that would help.
00:10:59.192 --> 00:11:05.690
It would help a little bit but my, my beef with it is, you know, no, no matter the product.
00:11:05.690 --> 00:11:09.804
If the product is good, people are going to watch it, no matter what it's on.
00:11:09.804 --> 00:11:14.428
You know, the CW wasn't the reason why people weren't watching it.
00:11:14.428 --> 00:11:20.576
Yeah, true, in my opinion it's because the product is just trash Opinion.
00:11:21.198 --> 00:11:21.399
Opinion.
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.368
It also wasn't Faraday.
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:32.561
It was great to hear Faraday on the broadcast tonight, yeah yeah I mean people, I think is, I think I, I think it's a scramble format.
00:11:32.662 --> 00:11:41.009
I think it's like players are playing different holes and in different order, which is hard to put out there.
00:11:41.009 --> 00:11:44.121
It's hard I mean when we were on the grounds you don't know how many holes are left.
00:11:44.923 --> 00:11:55.471
It got a little, you know, turn around where, and especially because they mixed the holes up for us, because what we're used to and they flipped it and it was just an odd with that.
00:11:55.471 --> 00:11:59.206
But I don't know, I just didn't get, I just don't get the product on tv.
00:11:59.206 --> 00:12:06.688
I think it could be better, but hey, so, uh, jeremy's talked with him a little bit before we hopped on here.
00:12:06.688 --> 00:12:08.461
He, he saw a little bit of it, joe.
00:12:08.461 --> 00:12:09.264
You saw some of it.
00:12:09.264 --> 00:12:10.547
Dan, did you watch most of it tonight?
00:12:10.547 --> 00:12:12.192
Yeah, I watched.
00:12:12.412 --> 00:12:15.014
Uh, yeah, pretty much all of it, pretty much all of it all right, good, so we got.
00:12:15.014 --> 00:12:16.782
We have some decent feedback here.
00:12:16.782 --> 00:12:27.995
Uh, we'll start with you, dan, since you you saw probably the second most because I watched it from from the beginning, so I don't know if you watch the whole thing or not, but, uh, what was your, what was your overall thoughts of what took place?
00:12:29.878 --> 00:12:35.451
um, I definitely liked a lot better than the uh, last one with, like, gritsky and all that stuff.
00:12:35.451 --> 00:12:38.880
Um, I mean, I, that was hard to watch.
00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:54.048
Um, but when you have the top players in the world, especially from the PGA, I'd say the top two players are probably Rory and Scotty, and then arguably from Liv, it's Brooks and him I mean Rom's up there too.
00:12:54.048 --> 00:13:00.505
But it was just good to see all those guys back playing again.
00:13:00.505 --> 00:13:09.528
It's crazy to see the evolution of the Bryce and Brooksy feud, that now they're pals and stuff.
00:13:09.528 --> 00:13:11.287
So I thought it was good.
00:13:11.287 --> 00:13:12.102
I thought it was.
00:13:12.102 --> 00:13:20.346
I can't wait for the PGA to get their ass moving and get these guys back on their one tour again so we can see them all playing again.
00:13:20.346 --> 00:13:21.535
But it was awesome.
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:21.975
The course looked great.
00:13:21.975 --> 00:13:22.549
It looked tough.
00:13:22.549 --> 00:13:23.094
The greens looked very hard.
00:13:23.094 --> 00:13:24.075
Those guys had, yeah, those guys had a tough time stopping that again.
00:13:24.075 --> 00:13:24.408
But uh, it was, it was awesome.
00:13:24.408 --> 00:13:24.995
The course looked great, looked tough.
00:13:24.995 --> 00:13:25.999
The greens look, uh, very hard.
00:13:25.999 --> 00:13:30.360
Um, those guys had, yeah, those guys had a tough time stopping that ball today.
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:42.041
But, um, as always, um, you know, shadow creek is the showcase and uh, it looked really good under the lights, especially like right at uh, like that golden hour, because you can see the sky and the three.
00:13:42.081 --> 00:13:43.264
They're playing three and four.
00:13:43.264 --> 00:13:45.168
Yeah, yeah, like oh yeah, yeah, that was.
00:13:45.168 --> 00:13:51.312
Uh, that was looking real nice out there bryson's t shot on four, almost landed on the three fairway.
00:13:51.312 --> 00:13:52.523
He hit that so far left.
00:13:53.326 --> 00:14:18.072
Yeah, it was, it was yeah, there was definitely some wild shots from those guys tonight from bryson and brooks yeah, uh, I mean scott scotty and rory handled him pretty easily I was chatting with uh buddy nick at la at LA Golf and I was like Rice is not doing a really good job of selling new gear for you guys right now because his putting was off and the new driver he was spraying it.
00:14:19.413 --> 00:14:34.784
Yeah, I mean, do you think that's a thing where they you know they're, they're good, right, Like they don't need to win tournaments, Like do you think that's an actual thing where they don't grind as hard as the guys on PGA tour?
00:14:35.548 --> 00:14:40.623
Well, I think when you're making video content playing from the forward tees and then spend.
00:14:40.623 --> 00:14:40.985
You know.
00:14:41.961 --> 00:14:43.307
What about hitting over your house?
00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:47.605
I mean, you're hitting a shot over your house.
00:14:47.605 --> 00:14:49.830
You know a wet shot over your house, you know, I mean that's.
00:14:49.850 --> 00:14:50.993
That's not real golf, it's not competitive.
00:14:51.013 --> 00:15:02.107
He grinds, though I think I'm sure he does too he's dude, he's a talent, it's yeah, I think a lot of it has to do too with the fact that they do play a more relaxed schedule.
00:15:02.107 --> 00:15:09.755
Like you know, pga tour, you know those guys are there's significant tournaments where you can play in four or five weeks in a row, six week spans.
00:15:09.755 --> 00:15:11.505
They're not doing that at live, you know.
00:15:11.505 --> 00:15:14.160
They're playing one week, taking three weeks off and going back and playing another one.
00:15:14.160 --> 00:15:14.461
You know.
00:15:14.461 --> 00:15:21.303
So I think there's little gaps in in time where they they're not as dialed or get a little lazy.
00:15:21.345 --> 00:15:22.166
That's the thing.
00:15:22.166 --> 00:15:37.341
It's easy to get out of that groove right, like if you're not in the pga tour, like schedule, like you can go home for a week or you play a tournament for a week and then you're off for four weeks and it's just like I can chill, my bank account is stacked like I don't have to worry about it.
00:15:37.341 --> 00:15:41.034
And uh, that can be a case depending on where you live.
00:15:41.034 --> 00:15:51.446
Also, like if you're not, if you're not around players where they're able to play money games, because a lot of these guys play money games with a lot of people that in the vicinity where they live.
00:15:51.567 --> 00:15:55.227
So, and you got to think too.
00:15:55.227 --> 00:16:01.071
You know, scotty just won world hero, so he's still in form, in competition, form over great field.
00:16:01.071 --> 00:16:03.827
Rory just won the race to Dubai again.
00:16:07.899 --> 00:16:15.104
So you know, brooks and bryson, they've been hitting shots over their house, so I haven't seen him play in long like I don't even know yeah, yeah.
00:16:15.184 --> 00:16:19.557
So I mean can't really be surprised by the result yeah, no, and there was.
00:16:19.957 --> 00:16:20.559
Surprisingly.
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:21.562
I was shocked.
00:16:21.562 --> 00:16:27.907
Uh, I thought there would be some William Hill action on the showdown but it wasn't on the board.
00:16:27.907 --> 00:16:28.187
Shout out.
00:16:28.207 --> 00:16:28.690
William Hill.
00:16:30.400 --> 00:16:34.071
Shout out William Hill for not participating in the farce.
00:16:35.402 --> 00:16:37.067
Were you going to bet on Rory and Scotty?
00:16:37.649 --> 00:16:38.610
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:43.206
Okay, so they owe you $10 then yeah, $5 probably.
00:16:44.061 --> 00:16:49.946
You can't not bet on Scotty I mean, come on, it's the one and two players in the world, like you said, and they've been playing golf.
00:16:49.946 --> 00:16:51.770
Yeah, yeah, they've been playing.
00:16:52.041 --> 00:16:56.557
Honestly, I really thought I really thought brooks and bryson were probably gonna win, like I.
00:16:56.557 --> 00:17:02.967
I don't know why I felt that, but I was incorrect yeah.
00:17:03.448 --> 00:17:04.210
Jeremy, what'd you think?
00:17:06.152 --> 00:17:07.894
I'm definitely buying a Reebok coat.
00:17:07.894 --> 00:17:13.844
So that was that was the highlight for me.
00:17:13.844 --> 00:17:17.031
And the shoes definitely the dad shoes for sure, getting those.
00:17:17.031 --> 00:17:20.208
No, I, I, I didn't finish it.
00:17:20.208 --> 00:17:25.089
I only watched the first six holes, so I have a bunch to watch still, but the course was incredible.
00:17:25.089 --> 00:17:26.566
It just makes you want to play there even more.
00:17:26.566 --> 00:17:33.230
I'm really trying to justify setting aside some money every month to throw down a shadow.
00:17:33.290 --> 00:17:38.348
Yeah yeah, it was probably the best the first six holes I watched.
00:17:38.348 --> 00:17:41.605
It's probably the best one of those things that I've watched in a while.
00:17:41.605 --> 00:17:45.069
I don't remember another one that had me that interested.
00:17:45.069 --> 00:17:47.166
So I'm excited to finish it.
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:48.363
Real golfers.
00:17:48.363 --> 00:17:50.128
You know real golfers.
00:17:50.128 --> 00:17:52.266
Thank you, please.
00:17:52.266 --> 00:17:53.648
Let's see.
00:17:53.648 --> 00:17:54.672
Westgate had it.
00:17:54.672 --> 00:17:57.228
Pga was 160-ish all week.
00:17:57.228 --> 00:18:01.105
All right, what's up William Hill?
00:18:01.105 --> 00:18:01.727
What's up with that?
00:18:03.430 --> 00:18:04.111
Come on, Billy.
00:18:04.111 --> 00:18:10.667
Yeah, yeah, joe, side note did you guys see that they're bringing back the Skins game?
00:18:12.432 --> 00:18:15.145
Yeah, they need to play Coyote Springs.
00:18:15.828 --> 00:18:19.405
Oh, they need to have.
00:18:19.405 --> 00:18:20.087
What is it?
