00:00:46.308 --> 00:00:48.847
So, everybody, hey, thanks so much for joining us.
00:00:48.847 --> 00:00:51.148
We took last week off Christmas Eve.
00:00:51.148 --> 00:00:52.979
For my family that's a big night.
00:00:52.979 --> 00:00:55.828
So we decided to take the week off.
00:00:55.828 --> 00:01:00.328
Let everybody have fun with their families and give you all a break from us.
00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:05.941
And then Tuesday night we had you know it was New Year's Eve, us, uh.
00:01:05.941 --> 00:01:07.504
And then tuesday night we had you know it was new year's eve, we.
00:01:07.504 --> 00:01:19.012
We knew no one was gonna hang out and watch us blabber about golf on new year's eve, especially in this town, uh, so, uh, we took tuesday night off, but we're all anxious to get on here and chat some more golf, uh.
00:01:19.012 --> 00:01:22.745
And you can tell by two of the four of us being here.
00:01:22.745 --> 00:01:26.293
No, joe will be here in a few.
00:01:26.293 --> 00:01:28.245
He's handling a few things.
00:01:28.245 --> 00:01:30.768
So, happy new year to everybody.
00:01:30.768 --> 00:01:33.849
I hope everybody had a safe and happy new year.
00:01:33.849 --> 00:01:37.691
I know there's been a lot of crazy shit going on right now in the States.
00:01:37.691 --> 00:01:44.790
What happened in New Orleans was just ridiculously sad, and then we had a cyber truck blow up at Trump Towers here.
00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:47.781
More stuff coming out about that.
00:01:47.781 --> 00:01:50.525
Just crazy, crazy stories.
00:01:50.786 --> 00:01:53.631
No crazy times that yeah, um.
00:01:54.031 --> 00:02:08.391
But I mean it's funny like the cyber trucks are getting like rave reviews now because everyone's coming out saying because of the thicker material and because of the sturdiness of the truck, it didn't do the damage that they thought it was going to do.
00:02:08.512 --> 00:02:17.149
So um yeah, it's good it's kind of sad that that had to get proven in that way, but there's other ways to prove that.
00:02:19.342 --> 00:02:20.310
But, uh, yeah.
00:02:20.942 --> 00:02:24.680
I saw a thing today that that Elon Musk just shared, and it was on Vegas issues.
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.932
It said that the cyber truck was voted the worst terrorist bombing vehicle of 2025.
00:02:29.932 --> 00:02:36.707
So people are having fun with it, but I mean not to make light of a sad situation.
00:02:36.707 --> 00:02:43.790
Crazy stuff going on and it's wild that both those vehicles were rented through that Toro site.
00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:54.042
It was like a VBR or vrbo or airbnb for vehicles yeah, um so who knows, maybe there's going to be some regulations coming down on that.
00:02:54.042 --> 00:02:59.332
Anyways, wild, wild times going on, but the good thing is, golf is back.
00:02:59.332 --> 00:03:00.824
The pga tour is back.
00:03:00.824 --> 00:03:01.926
Capaloo has started.
00:03:01.926 --> 00:03:02.688
This afternoon.
00:03:02.688 --> 00:03:04.895
Harry's off to a good start.
00:03:04.895 --> 00:03:12.582
I was just chatting with him a few minutes ago because I was asking him if he still had callaway full bag, and he's playing ping woods right now.
00:03:13.444 --> 00:03:24.004
So he's got ping woods and then callaway, everything else and he's got a new golf ball he's playing, so uh had a 500 around, he shot six, six under on the front, had a bogey on the back and then part out.
00:03:24.004 --> 00:03:27.044
So good start to the day for the tourney for him.
00:03:27.044 --> 00:03:35.828
Uh, there's all kinds of news about, you know, max homa is now cobra max and uh, in lulu lemon.
00:03:35.828 --> 00:03:44.711
That that's like been the big news, because there really hasn't been any like crazy news out there as far as equipment changes or anything like that.
00:03:44.711 --> 00:03:57.610
I sent stephen jackson a haha funny message because uh, adam scott was playing his old lab putter, not the new oz, so that that was a short-lived experiment.
00:03:57.610 --> 00:04:06.078
I thought for sure he was going to keep gaming that thing, especially since it's, you know, kind of named after him yeah so that that was a surprise.
00:04:06.098 --> 00:04:07.962
Um, and then let's see what else we got.
00:04:07.962 --> 00:04:10.628
Uh, you were out of shell shore with jeremy.
00:04:10.628 --> 00:04:11.592
We'll talk about that.
00:04:11.592 --> 00:04:12.924
We all got together.
00:04:12.924 --> 00:04:17.137
I got my first round back after my time off for the knee surgery.
00:04:17.137 --> 00:04:19.790
We were out at las vegas nationals we'll talk about that.
00:04:19.790 --> 00:04:22.420
You're playing some new sticks we can talk about that.
00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:24.625
Got revere coming up this weekend.
00:04:24.625 --> 00:04:26.588
Let's see what else did I have?
00:04:26.588 --> 00:04:28.613
Oh, akshay Bhatia.
00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:32.406
He is now with Travis Matthews, so that's exciting for them.
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:42.632
Nice, young, fresh face on tour for them, and there really wasn't much other oh there he is hey Joe.
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:49.781
Joe, it's different.
00:04:49.802 --> 00:04:51.946
Hold hold on, give me a second.
00:04:51.946 --> 00:05:01.627
This is why you come on early it worked out, are you okay?
00:05:01.627 --> 00:05:01.666
I?
00:05:02.608 --> 00:05:02.968
think so.
00:05:02.968 --> 00:05:05.713
I just I just heard you from my laptop speakers.
00:05:05.713 --> 00:05:11.629
Ah, okay, the interface looks a little different.
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:17.987
Femyard is going through some changes.
00:05:17.987 --> 00:05:27.846
We pay a monthly subscription to use this service and they added a bunch of new features over the last four or five months and they're really nice.
00:05:27.846 --> 00:05:35.023
And then they just came out and said hey, by the way, here's your bill now if you want to keep using all these new features, and I was like no, we don't.
00:05:35.665 --> 00:05:42.324
So a couple of the couple of the extras that we have for this will be going away, but I don't think it's going to affect anything.
00:05:42.324 --> 00:05:49.158
Uh, we just we're going to lose a platform that we're allowed to push to, I think, 10 different platforms right now.
00:05:49.158 --> 00:05:52.666
It's going to get reduced, so we'll only be pushing this to three.
00:05:52.666 --> 00:05:58.891
And then I just found out we could change the fonts on our name and stuff, so that, uh, but that will be going away as well.
00:05:58.891 --> 00:06:02.266
So that's the the times.
00:06:02.266 --> 00:06:06.201
It keeps changing the hey, we'll tease you with some great features.
00:06:06.201 --> 00:06:08.524
And oh, by the way, now you have to pay double what you were.
00:06:08.624 --> 00:06:10.208
So it moves quick.
00:06:11.886 --> 00:06:15.949
New years, new fees so how you doing, joe, do you have a good new year?
00:06:17.718 --> 00:06:19.004
yeah, we just hung out at home.
00:06:19.004 --> 00:06:21.103
We didn't really do much, you know.
00:06:21.103 --> 00:06:23.759
So here we are in 2025.
00:06:23.860 --> 00:06:25.223
The fireworks were ridiculous.
00:06:25.223 --> 00:06:37.814
It wasn't too crazy by my house oh my god we yeah, well, looking at out your way from my backyard, dan it, it looked like fourth july times 10.
00:06:37.814 --> 00:06:40.725
I couldn't believe how much activity was going on.
00:06:41.365 --> 00:06:44.071
I'll never understand that shit I'll never understand.
00:06:44.071 --> 00:06:48.524
Lighting your money on fire, I just I'll never get that.
00:06:48.524 --> 00:06:53.165
I'll never understand what it is, Maybe like 80 bucks.
00:06:53.165 --> 00:06:57.004
You know, throw a couple out there, that's fine you know, like tea time.
00:06:57.266 --> 00:07:02.110
you know, you go out to Paiute or you go out to Pahrump, 80 bucks will get you a lot of fireworks.
00:07:02.841 --> 00:07:04.444
Well, I mean, that was a long time ago.
00:07:04.444 --> 00:07:08.903
I don't know anymore, but yeah, get you a fucking pack of firecrackers now.
00:07:10.666 --> 00:07:11.127

00:08:01.903 --> 00:08:03.488
It's getting my chin-chin, you know.

We'll do this, so it matches my shirt there we go I'll be here before you know it 100
00:08:11.884 --> 00:08:12.947
already seen the commercials.
00:08:12.947 --> 00:08:19.024
Welcome friends 99 days hello friends, hello friends.
00:08:20.144 --> 00:08:24.232
Um, so, uh you, let's talk about National.
00:08:24.232 --> 00:08:26.495
We can start with National.
00:08:26.495 --> 00:08:29.149
It's been a couple weeks since we've been on.
00:08:29.149 --> 00:08:46.990
I was happy to be back out on the golf course after spending three weeks basically at home just chipping and putting and slowly built up some swings with some irons, and so I was excited to get out of the golf course.
00:08:46.990 --> 00:08:55.129
It was a little crisp early morning, national was looking great and then Dylan happened.
00:08:56.802 --> 00:08:57.725
Then we met Dylan.
00:09:00.123 --> 00:09:09.696
I don't know if I have ever ever had an experience like that with a starter in the history of my golfing life.
00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:13.730
No, I've met some dick starters, but you know.
00:09:13.850 --> 00:09:14.714
Oh, they're everywhere.
00:09:16.724 --> 00:09:17.504
Yeah that was.
00:09:17.504 --> 00:09:22.214
That was surprising and extremely uncalled for.
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:31.796
And it fired me up right away dude, I was like we're we're fighting on the first fucking hole of my me coming back.
00:09:31.796 --> 00:09:37.149
I really thought we were gonna go to blows with this kid he was really jealous of your new knees, bro.
00:09:37.309 --> 00:09:42.267
Like he saw that you got new knees and he was like I'm not having it, my knees knees hurt right now.
00:09:42.528 --> 00:09:47.908
Well, clearly, he didn't, because he was like was this your first time on a golf course?
00:09:47.908 --> 00:09:52.109
Which, as soon as he said that I was like I looked at dad.
00:09:52.109 --> 00:09:53.072
I'm like, oh fuck.
00:09:54.140 --> 00:09:56.950
That was yeah, that was a yeah.
00:09:56.950 --> 00:09:59.145
I couldn't believe he said that.
00:09:59.922 --> 00:10:01.508
I mean if you're a golfer.
00:10:02.561 --> 00:10:13.130
If you're a real golfer and you love the game of golf and respect the game of golf, you could look at our four bags and be like, okay, these guys know what they're doing.
00:10:13.130 --> 00:10:20.498
Like you can look at the collective of that, you know there's no ball pickers there's no stock head covers.
00:10:20.918 --> 00:10:39.982
There's not, you know uh, yeah, uh, do you know what I'm seeing a lot of and it's hilarious is, uh, the some players who have a sunday bag on the side of their cart bag that has all their wedges in it because their bag is full of woods.
00:10:39.982 --> 00:10:44.269
Oh, I've seen it twice now.
00:10:44.568 --> 00:10:53.413
It's, it's hilarious, interesting a little much hey I don't have iron covers and bgc is in the in the instagram chat.
00:10:53.413 --> 00:10:55.479
Uh yeah, we are short tonight.
00:10:55.479 --> 00:10:57.803
Jeremy is enhancing his life.
00:10:57.803 --> 00:11:02.251
He may be here in a little while uh, but I don't have iron covers.
00:11:02.331 --> 00:11:04.482
I don't really call that enhancing.
00:11:04.482 --> 00:11:06.047
He's achieving his life.
00:11:06.187 --> 00:11:10.203
I would say it's enhancing his life every single time he leaves his house.
00:11:10.203 --> 00:11:17.264
Now he's gonna be like so that's making his life better he's achieving his dreams.
00:11:17.325 --> 00:11:19.890
He's fulfilling it's exactly he's fulfilling a.
00:11:19.890 --> 00:11:22.442
Fulfilling a dream is a perfect way to put it.
00:11:22.864 --> 00:11:30.493
So happy for jeremy on that and that aspect yeah, uh well, I don't have iron covers, but if I did, I wouldn't care.
00:11:30.493 --> 00:11:31.174
Who cares?
00:11:31.174 --> 00:11:32.740
Who cares about iron covers?
00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:34.926
Give, give those people a break.
00:11:34.926 --> 00:11:37.390
Good lord, who gives a rat's ass?
00:11:37.390 --> 00:11:41.788
If you want to cover your irons, people may look at you funny, but you know what.
00:11:41.788 --> 00:11:42.690
Who gives?
00:11:42.690 --> 00:11:44.200
A shit cover your irons if you want.
00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:57.585
To get the little ones with zippers and tassels if you want my thought is if you want to cover your irons, just beat the other fuckers that are playing again with you I mean they can't say shit if if you whip them, you know.
00:11:58.488 --> 00:12:13.708
If you want to do it, just be good so, joe, as joe was saying, you could tell by looking at us that we were not your your Saturday weekend hack golfers coming in from another state on a drunk bender, getting an early morning tea time, still inebriated.
00:12:13.708 --> 00:12:14.600
No we.
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:19.910
We came to play and just he.
00:12:19.910 --> 00:12:23.868
He was in a bad mood, I guess, I don't know, Maybe his coffee got spilled or what I don't know.
00:12:23.868 --> 00:12:29.437
I've never seen anything like that before in my life to fill everybody in.
00:12:29.537 --> 00:12:39.541
Basically, what happened was is nobody checked in with the starter, who was dylan, and uh, dylan was curious who was up next on the t.
00:12:40.143 --> 00:12:50.784
None of none of us checked in which by the way, we we were 15 feet away on the play zone and we play there many times and it's always the old dude with the.
00:12:51.446 --> 00:12:56.014
You know he asks everybody that steps on the range can I get your ticket?
00:12:56.014 --> 00:12:57.765
You know he's right there.
00:12:57.765 --> 00:13:04.431
And then you know, if you are curious, if anyone's here, he't have a radio whatever.
00:13:04.431 --> 00:13:06.922
And you see four guys that haven't checked in.
00:13:06.922 --> 00:13:10.890
Maybe you should just ask them hey, what time are you guys playing?
00:13:10.890 --> 00:13:12.000
Can I get your ticket?
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:20.009
You know it's not our fault and you know we're used to the old guy that's been there for the past five years there was four people on the range.
00:13:21.614 --> 00:13:25.105
You know, there was us on the practice green and four people on the range.
00:13:25.970 --> 00:13:29.302
So uh, yeah, it just must be an introvert.
00:13:29.302 --> 00:13:30.566
You know he doesn't want to talk to people.
00:13:30.566 --> 00:13:35.043
And then it just, it just collapsed in front of his eyes, you know it was.
00:13:35.264 --> 00:13:35.524
It was.
00:13:35.524 --> 00:13:43.484
I mean, it was shocking because, because you know, I, I, he kind of got snippy, you know.
00:13:43.484 --> 00:13:54.591
And then so I got a little snippy back and I said, well, you know, maybe get off your ass and go find out who's coming up next, and that fired him back and it just kind of escalated from there.
00:13:56.003 --> 00:13:58.153
I was going to send the guys behind you in front of you.
00:13:58.153 --> 00:14:00.106
Yeah Well, you see four guys.
00:14:00.106 --> 00:14:02.047
This is the thing in my head.
00:14:02.047 --> 00:14:04.307
You see four guys that haven't checked in yet.
00:14:04.307 --> 00:14:06.561
This is the thing in my head.
00:14:06.561 --> 00:14:08.124
You see four guys that haven't checked in yet.
00:14:08.124 --> 00:14:09.326
If you're curious, who's coming up next?
00:14:09.326 --> 00:14:13.782
Once you go, ask those guys what their tea time is, or I mean, I mean a starter's job is.
00:14:13.782 --> 00:14:15.567
There's no story.
00:14:15.567 --> 00:14:17.091
It's very difficult, you know.
00:14:17.091 --> 00:14:19.759
It's a very tough job, which I understand.
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:20.721
You know it's.
00:14:20.721 --> 00:14:24.648
It's hard to put people in keep, keep the pace all day.
00:14:24.648 --> 00:14:28.634
It's a difficult job and he was very stressed, which I understand.
00:14:28.634 --> 00:14:29.663
I feel for him.
00:14:29.663 --> 00:14:30.785
It's a difficult job.
00:14:30.785 --> 00:14:32.091
Somebody has to do it.
00:14:32.091 --> 00:14:40.231
Thankfully, it's Dylan and, uh, he just didn't want to talk to us, you know, cause he knew how good we are at golf and how cool we are, and that's his fault.
00:14:41.100 --> 00:14:42.462
Yep, that's totally his fault.
00:14:42.462 --> 00:14:52.202
It was, it was terrible, anyways, but we uh we shout out, dylan, yeah shout out dylan.
00:14:52.202 --> 00:14:56.111
Uh, I was like, by the third hole, the third hole.
00:14:56.111 --> 00:15:00.785
I was like, okay, heart rate's back to normal, let's get into this round.
00:15:00.785 --> 00:15:08.155
So it was, it was, uh, it was a really weird start, really weird but, on on.
00:15:08.456 --> 00:15:10.844
On the other hand, national was in great shape.
00:15:10.844 --> 00:15:25.995
The greens were fast, really fast, which which made it a very fun, challenging golf course, because a lot of times they're the greens roll good, but they're slow more often than not.
00:15:25.995 --> 00:15:30.043
Not like crazy slow, but slow, slow enough to where you go.
00:15:30.043 --> 00:15:33.086
Fuck, these are slow, but they were not.
00:15:33.086 --> 00:15:36.360
They were not this past last weekend.
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:42.033
So hang on, I got to read what you just said.
00:15:42.033 --> 00:15:44.525
Typically retired old dudes live the best life you can enjoy.
00:15:44.566 --> 00:15:46.471
Yeah exactly Exactly.
00:15:46.471 --> 00:15:55.148
It's a beautiful morning, beautiful day, beautiful golf course, just kind of, you know, enjoy it.
00:15:55.148 --> 00:16:02.071
But once we got rolling, everybody's having a good time and I shot an 82.
00:16:02.071 --> 00:16:04.442
I was really happy with my game.
00:16:04.442 --> 00:16:05.304
Putted lights out.
00:16:05.304 --> 00:16:06.847
I was really happy with my game uh, putted lights out.
00:16:06.847 --> 00:16:08.171
I was really happy about that.
00:16:08.171 --> 00:16:09.913
I could tell that I've been working on the putting.
00:16:09.913 --> 00:16:11.725
Uh stroke is doing good.
00:16:11.725 --> 00:16:13.285
The new Odyssey putter is doing great.
00:16:14.089 --> 00:16:16.820
Um, irons, I.
00:16:16.820 --> 00:16:19.008
I hit my irons incredibly straight.
00:16:19.008 --> 00:16:21.928
I just didn't have the right distance on them all day long.
00:16:21.928 --> 00:16:24.224
That bothered me and the driver was.
00:16:24.224 --> 00:16:26.844
I have the right distance on them all day long.
00:16:26.844 --> 00:16:27.687
That bothered me and the driver was.
00:16:27.687 --> 00:16:33.886
I knew the driver was going to be a little bit of an issue because I hadn't swung a driver in three weeks and really didn't know what was going to happen.
00:16:33.886 --> 00:16:38.378
So, but other than that, had a great time.
00:16:38.378 --> 00:16:39.240
I think we had a blast.
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:48.794
We still made it around in 340 um, even with some slow people in front of us and the dylan debacle, uh.
00:16:48.794 --> 00:16:52.910
So I I hope those greens stay like that for a little while.
00:16:53.171 --> 00:16:57.491
So, dan, that was the best.
00:16:57.491 --> 00:17:06.894
That was the best I've ever, I think I've ever seen national, like seriously, like I love national because the layout's great and I just it's just I don't know.
00:17:06.894 --> 00:17:08.042
I just love that course.
00:17:08.042 --> 00:17:10.490
The surrounding areas, you know, obviously it's not that great.
00:17:10.490 --> 00:17:15.531
The house is kind of old and dated and some of them are a little, you know, abandoned, but it's scary.
00:17:15.531 --> 00:17:19.817
That's neither here nor there, but uh, the golf course itself has always been fun.
00:17:19.817 --> 00:17:26.881
I've always enjoyed it and this is this is by far the best I've ever seen it played and it was, uh, it was fun.
00:17:26.881 --> 00:17:29.827
The greens were fast, they were actually rolling smooth.
00:17:29.827 --> 00:17:34.243
Um, you know, usually they're slow, bumpy, a little scabby.
00:17:34.243 --> 00:17:35.626
They are in great shape.
00:17:35.626 --> 00:17:42.968
Um, they're all cut in one length, which is nice, but uh, yeah, I was pleasantly surprised.
00:17:43.008 --> 00:17:48.990
So, yeah, it was got to get back out there soon, we would have lost Natty Bingo.
00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:54.752
Didn't see any part or any natives in the ditch.
