PGA Championship Highlights, DeChambeau's Legacy, and South Dakota Golf Insights · Scene Projects Sports Network

0:34
Welcome into the scene project sports network coverage of the PGA championship from.
0:40
My name is Bubba Starts.
0:41
I am joined by my cohost Pods and Shady.
0:45
Pods was dancing like he was at a rave in the nineties.
0:48
I got that we got that good intro music, Shady.
0:51
You remember well.
0:52
Maybe not the nineties.
0:53
But Yeah.
0:54
It's not.
0:55
It's close enough.
0:55
I'm sorry.
0:56
I can't get that purple and gold out of my head.
0:58
It's like it's nice.
0:59
Just Infectious.
1:00
Shout out to our guy Prince Walker for that one on Tuesday nights.
1:04
Five players, seven players tied at minus three.
1:07
Shuffler's still on the course, so that could change
1:10
Shuffler and Smalley are still on.
1:12
Shuffler's at seventeen.
1:14
I think he's finished.
1:15
And then I think Smalley's just got on to seventeen, finished up
1:18
at seventeen.
1:18
You guys live if the scores change.
1:20
But right now, it looks like minus three is the lead.
1:24
A seven way tie there.
1:25
I'm not gonna mention all the players.
1:28
First round here, this course is playing pretty tough so far.
1:31
Only three under through 18 for a bunch of pros.
1:37
That means this course is is tough tough today.
1:40
This this this course is definitely taking its pound of flesh.
1:45
It's gotten some people I mean, this course has already gotten to Rory, and this course ate to
1:51
Shambeau live with a plus six.
1:54
Yeah.
1:54
Not surprised by that.
1:56
The risk taker that he is, of course, that kind of seems like it's demanding, the right play at
2:03
the right time, that sometimes aggressiveness is not rewarded.
2:08
No.
2:09
Absolutely.
2:10
I'm sitting here watching some highlights.
2:13
You're not playing.
2:13
Bryson did blow up.
2:15
Holy cow.
2:17
See, I was watching some of it.
2:18
Like, I sent a comment, and I said the greens look like parking lots.
2:22
Did anybody see the size of these green?
2:25
Like, I don't know how far they're zoomed out or where the cameras are, but, like, they're
2:29
fairly far back, and it's still, like, massive.
2:34
But, they're rolling really fast.
2:36
Bubba, I just dropped a clip in the scratch project chat.
2:41
But, yeah, they're rolling really fast.
2:45
And, challenging green, the fairways don't look very wide at all.
2:49
But
2:50
Another testament too to how hard these these the greens and the course has been is that
2:55
Akshay Batya, at one point, was tied for first at three under, I think, through the tenth
3:00
hole, and he finished with plus one.
3:03
Yeah.
3:05
Christopher, Raton, who just got his first win last week, he finished at plus one.
3:12
And then if I'm not mistaken, I'm looking for him right now, Ricky finished it.
3:16
There's a ton of people tied for thirty second who are at Evenpar, McIntyre, the like.
3:23
Rory did not have a good round either.
3:25
Watch
3:26
this.
3:27
Hole at 11.
3:30
Well, there's the hole.
3:31
That.
3:31
Look at that thing.
3:32
It just goes.
3:33
It's not stopping.
3:34
Done.
3:35
It ain't done.
3:35
That's not gonna stop anytime soon.
3:38
Anytime soon, bro.
3:40
That's 40 yards.
3:43
You're better off shipping it back by the two to cut it.
3:47
Like, oh, thank
3:48
Thank god.
3:49
I finally hit a little divot there.
3:51
Foot putt.
3:51
Slowed it down.
3:52
50 feet away.
3:53
No.
3:53
Two foot putt to 50 foot.
3:55
I barely touched it.
3:57
Oh, yeah.
3:58
That's crazy.
3:58
That's not yeah.
3:59
That's not cool.
4:00
That's
4:00
crazy.
4:01
What are you
4:01
even supposed to do there?
4:03
Parking lot.
4:03
Barely touched supposed to do.
4:06
Shay, I have half a mind to chip that from how far away it is.
4:11
My god.
4:12
On the ground hard.
4:13
Don't even know if it would make a difference.
4:15
It's not like he overhit it.
4:16
How could he even hit it any softer than he did?
4:18
He barely touched it.
4:19
Barely touched it, and it's gone.
4:21
Man.
4:22
Oh, man.
4:22
It's gonna be a tough they need some rain out there.
4:25
Similar to us here in South Dakota.
4:26
We we ain't got no rain.
4:28
It'll slow things down a little bit.
4:31
Yeah.
4:31
They need something to make it stick.
4:34
Anything.
4:35
There's some sticking out.
4:36
Be straight over.
4:38
Go ahead,
4:39
blew up at plus six.
4:40
I just found Rory's score.
4:42
He's tied for one hundred and fifth at plus four.
4:46
So, I mean, you got the former the back to back masters winner at plus four, and I understand
4:54
your gripe with Bryson, Bubba, because he's inconsistent.
4:58
The risk taking.
4:59
Like, I I've said this before.
5:01
When it comes to my favorite entertainer entertainer, I like Bryson.
5:05
When it comes to my favorite golfer for consistency, I like John Rom.
5:09
Because John's not gonna take those stupid shots that Bryson does.
5:15
But this course is just proving that Bryson DeChambeau needs to come back to the PGA
5:21
because he's losing his edge in Liv.
5:24
Yeah.
5:25
But he made a bunch of money, and he's probably doing fairly well from his YouTube bit too.
5:29
And he could probably be a better media personality at this point and to do fairly well
5:34
at that than having to worry about going out and golfing every weekend, that's the best.
5:39
Now I know a $4,000,000 purse at the end of the day for some of these, you know, attractive out
5:44
there.
5:45
But if you're only gonna you know, if you're not gonna have a chance to win any of those, is
5:50
it worth it?
5:50
Is it better to just sit back and collect millions running your YouTube golf channel and,
5:55
you know, like,
5:57
we like it.
5:57
I guess that question all comes down to Bryson and how much he wants his what he wants the
6:02
legacy to say.
6:03
Who cares?
6:04
His legacy is being one of the biggest freaking golf personalities on the planet, and he
6:09
doesn't have to go out there and win every week.
6:11
Like, that that's the reality of it.
6:14
Right?
6:14
Yeah.
6:15
Between his golf channel and what he does, like, who who cares about being the best?
6:19
Because everybody's gonna tear that down anyway.
6:22
Right?
6:22
And there's always gonna be someone coming along, to beat you, and they're gonna leave it
6:26
to be debatable.
6:27
Go out there.
6:28
Build a career for yourself.
6:29
Build your own legacy as being someone who, continues to grow the game of golf without
6:35
having to be the, quote, unquote, best in the game.
6:39
And I think there's, there's something to that as well.
6:43
Right?
6:43
So, impressive, man.
6:45
There's no telling, where his career ends up going.
6:49
And Pods, you said, has to come back.
6:51
They're all coming back, man.
6:52
Lou Liv's done.
6:53
So you're either coming back or you're doing your own thing.
6:56
Right?
6:56
Well, that's the thing.
6:57
You know, we were talking about this last week, and you had mentioned, it's like, well, YGT's
7:04
becoming that secondary tour is he doesn't have to go back to the PGA.
7:08
He could literally go play your golf tour or do something in that capacity and just go play
7:13
golf with his friends all day.
7:15
Yeah.
7:15
I don't I don't think that your golf tour is a gonna be a feeder or any kind of thing to that.
7:20
It is definitely its own thing, but I don't see anything wrong with having your own things out
7:26
there.
7:27
Right?
7:27
I mean, there's guys that have made a a decent living and have played on the Harlem
7:31
Globetrotters their entire lives.
7:32
Right?
7:33
That's what I'm saying.
7:33
It's like if you wanna go that route
7:35
Yeah.
7:36
Do you wanna I
7:37
that's He can go play golf with his friends all day long.
7:39
Right.
7:39
Well, that's personal things.
7:41
Right?
7:41
And that's honestly I think that's a generational bit there because a royal Rory
7:47
McElroy wants to be the best on that.
7:50
But that's a man who grew up watching and idolizing the PGA, and I don't know that
7:55
everyone has that.
7:57
Right?
7:57
So it's up to the man themselves.
8:00
We've talked extensively about the the trials and tribulations and the stress, honestly, of
8:06
going out and having to perform on the PGA tour week after week when you could just be cashing
8:11
major sponsor money and going out and shooting some awesome content with your buddies.
8:14
I mean, come on.
8:15
I know that all four of us, you know, and, you know, the extended family of SPSN, we'd all be
8:22
happy, man.
8:23
Like, you ain't even gotta pay us millions of dollars.
8:25
If we could all make, you know, $60.70 grand a year going out and playing golf a few times or
8:30
Sign
8:30
me up.
8:31
We're happy.
8:32
Now granted this man lives a much different and more extravagant life than that, but what is
8:37
it?
8:37
What what's that number?
8:38
Right?
8:38
What what does your salary have to be to live comfortably and to build wealth for yourself?
8:43
And because he's done so much for himself in the realm of branding and, you know, developing
8:51
that brand with the crushers that he sit back and sell merch the rest of his life, sell T
8:57
shirts and probably make a decent living at this point.
8:59
And he doesn't have to be on the PGA to do it, I I guess, is my point.
9:03
So
9:04
Well, I I think you have a great point there too because I don't know and I don't want this
9:09
to be like a, you know, dissection of the PGA, but at least for people in my generation now,
9:14
because, like, I'm a late millennial.
9:17
Because I was born in '95.
9:18
We don't have as much love for the PGA as we do for the game of golf itself.
9:24
Like, I love watching the DP World Tour.
9:26
I like watching, you know, the YouTube golf stuff.
9:30
I liked watching Liv.
9:32
It's just I like the variety of golf.
9:34
Like, the I even watch and tune in sometimes to the grass league that they
9:38
have over there.
9:39
Plays golf, and he's awful.
9:42
True.
9:43
You know?
9:44
Like, I I I'm watching Shady's channel.
9:47
I'm just seeing this little chicken leg mullivore out here whacking balls as bad as
9:51
Bryson did today.
9:52
Right?
9:52
Like, it's all the same.
9:54
We we just
9:54
wanna about distance.
9:56
It's not about where it goes.
9:57
We're just butt shot out here, bro.
10:00
Yeah.
10:01
No.
10:01
And and, really, it's about it's about entertainment value.
10:05
Right?
10:06
And and it is entertaining to watch the best in the world play amazing, but it's also
10:11
entertaining to watch a couple of guys shank them into the freaking woods and be in it.
10:15
Like, who doesn't like to watch Joey's
10:17
pull cuts
10:17
in a tree?
10:18
Right.
10:19
Right.
10:20
Shady, let me ask you this.
10:22
Yeah.
10:25
If you had the choice to have let's say, you play golf for the rest of your life, you earn a
10:31
$150,000 a year to do
10:32
it.
10:33
Okay.
10:33
But you had to pick a tour mandatory that you had to go play six events for each year.
10:39
Which tour would you pick and why?
10:43
The the hardest.
10:44
The one that goes to the craziest events with the hardest.
10:48
The top tier, if I could play it.
10:50
I mean, what whichever one.
10:52
I mean, is there restrictions?
10:53
That's a tough question.
10:54
You're me a lot of options there.
10:55
I'm going top, though, if I get the choice.
10:58
Why?
10:59
Because
11:00
I wouldn't pick the PGA Tour.
11:03
I'd pick the DP World Tour.
11:04
Okay.
11:05
There's more variety there.
11:07
There's better in my opinion, there's better courses.
11:10
Okay.
11:11
I don't wanna always have to play in The States.
11:13
I'd like to go play internationally more because I feel like there's more challenges.
11:18
You get to use more of your bag and and vice versa.
11:20
Have more fun that way.
11:22
No.
11:22
I mean,
11:23
mean, I think there's it it it comes down to a personal preference.
11:26
What do you need?
11:27
Do you need the opportunity to play for a, you know, $4,000,000 purse and to have the prestige
11:35
of the PGA behind you, or do you need to have, you know, just to make a living?
11:41
Right?
11:41
Like you said, you make a $150 a year salary.
11:44
You're not having to worry about playing up to that or or gaining that.
11:48
You have a base that you're making.
11:50
You get to travel the world, play the game that you love.
11:54
Oh, as
11:54
long as they're making cuts on levels.
11:58
You know?
11:58
As long as I play Saturday, Sunday, I'm happy.
12:03
And then there's other guys that that are different.
12:06
Right?
12:06
And and it really speaks to, the player themselves.
12:10
Maybe when maybe and maybe you're a different man in your early twenties than you are in your
12:14
late thirties.
12:15
Sure.
12:15
Right?
12:16
Like, that that's inevitable as well that you get to a certain point that you don't need to
12:19
go chase that and your legacy isn't on the number of trophies or, you know, anything that
12:26
your name is attached to.
12:29
Like, the competitiveness.
12:31
Right?
12:32
Is that do you have to be the best at what you do, or can you go out and say, hey.
12:36
You know what?
12:37
No.
12:37
I'm good enough.
12:38
I make a good living playing the game that I love.
12:40
I see the world doing it.
12:41
You know?
12:42
And for me, I can equate that to a lot of music.
12:44
Right?
12:45
There's a lot of people that are out there that have made a living and got to see the world and
12:48
do the thing that they love to do that have never won a Grammy and never will.
12:52
Right?
12:53
Right.
12:53
Or or to be selling out, you know, US Bank Stadium or or any of these, you know, giant
12:59
venues out there.
13:00
Right?
13:00
So it's a it's really up to the the individual players themselves of what they would like to
13:06
do and what their vision of success is.
13:09
Yeah.
13:10
Real quick.
13:11
You said music, so I just wanna do a quick shout out.
13:14
If you haven't already, go listen to Crazy One by Bernice Marsala.
13:19
Very good song.
13:20
Go do that.
13:21
You'll be happy.
13:22
Awesome.
13:22
Appreciate that.
13:23
Yeah.
13:23
Just had Bernice on the show with me doing an interview yesterday, so pretty awesome.
13:29
I just found that song when I was listening to the, unsigned, and I was like, this is a bop.
13:36
So I have it on my playlist now.
13:38
Awesome.
13:38
Yeah.
13:39
Well, she'll appreciate that.
13:40
I'll reach out to her and let her know that she's got some new fans here around the scene
13:45
projects network.
13:46
And, man, that's what it's all about.
13:48
I can't wait
13:48
to go
13:49
out and to go out and to put, you know, these tours and everything together.
13:54
Like, you know what's gonna be playing when we're hanging out at the Skunk Classic, and we
13:58
got our little, you know, tailgate atmosphere around the around the scene going, and and
14:03
that's what we're building here.
14:05
Right?
14:05
Culture, community, and it's all it's all in the family.
14:09
And I think that's the fun thing about what we've been growing.
14:12
And shout out to Skunk, obviously.
14:15
We're all rocking our gear today, sponsors of the program, and made sure that we're gonna get
14:20
up there with them at the Skunk Golf Classic, June 27.
14:24
Still openings for teams up there, y'all, so come check it out.
14:28
We got plenty of stuff.
14:29
I'm gonna find the, I'm gonna find the graphic and everything too and throw it up on the
14:33
screen.
14:33
Give me just a second to do that.
14:36
I will have to go and eat some supper here before too long.
14:38
So I guess talk amongst yourselves for a minute, boys.
14:41
Let me find this grab
14:43
Alright, Shady.
14:44
So what have you seen so far from this course that you think heading into the weekend might
14:49
be a issue?
14:51
Oh, the big issue?
14:54
Justin Rose is gonna take those McLaren irons and snap them off in somebody's ass.
14:59
I mean, he is gonna do it.
15:01
I mean, he's not only is he pissed off, he's the quiet pissed off.
15:04
He's old enough pissed off that this has taken, like, two weeks of kinda sitting there waiting
15:09
on this to happen.
15:10
I am scared for the caddy.
15:12
I am scared.
15:13
This dude is not happy.
15:15
He's he's slowly taking the irons out of the bags.
15:19
He's like, what he what'd he take out this week?
15:22
He took out the four and the five, I think.
15:24
He's only got six, seven, eight, and nine.
15:26
He's got four irons left.
15:28
Six six is next.
15:30
They've probably already gone.
15:32
He's going tin cup on them.
15:33
I mean, in my I mean, in my bag right now, all I've got is seven, eight, nine pitching and
15:39
gap.
15:40
That's it from my iron Seven
15:41
eight nine.
15:42
Speaking of 789, we'll see you all on Sunday, 7PM right here on the scene, Project Sports
15:46
Network.
15:47
True.
15:48
No.
15:49
I'm looking at, so I was looking at yardages, and I was looking at, like, scorecards and
15:55
stuff like that.
15:57
There's a giveaway this weekend.
15:59
I can't remember which one it is.
16:00
I think it's the pure golf clubs.
16:03
I think it's that same guy.
16:04
He's doing the same one every week.
16:05
But I'm riding this answer till it wins.
16:07
JT Poston right now sits at one over.
16:10
Looking at him and Scottie, a little difference here.
16:13
These are reachable holes necessarily, I mean, for most anybody.
16:17
I mean, par fours, four thirty,
16:19
four You know, I had boys too.
16:20
Scottie at 14 under, and I'm I I'm still sticking with Scottie, but I don't know about
16:25
that 14 under.
16:26
Well Seems like it's gonna be tough to get to.
16:29
Yeah.
16:30
Either way, these are his greens in regulation, that's what's getting Scotty right.
16:34
Scotty's numbers are just crazy.
16:36
He's driving, like, 93% of the fairway.
16:38
He's he's not missing.
16:39
Yeah.
16:39
He's that shark, bro.
16:41
Like, he may not be there round one, round two, round three.
16:44
Hold on, Potts.
16:45
I bring a wrench.
16:46
I'm gonna throw it in your engine.
16:47
Hold on.
16:48
So here's where the wrench comes in.
16:50
They're both putting 1.7 putts per per green.
16:58
So if JT can get there, he's gonna put it in.
17:02
He's just gotta get there.
17:03
So if he can turn that around, I'd say he's got a chance.
17:07
But I don't know.
17:07
I mean, Scottie's a machine.
17:09
He's a Terminator.
17:11
He's only three behind, so it could happen.
17:15
Yeah.

17:43
So looking forward to that.
17:45
It's gonna be a great time.
17:47
Make sure you come out there and do it.
17:48
If you are up in North Dakota watching this right now, get a team together.
17:53
It's coed, charity tournament.
17:55
Super easy.
17:55
Gotta have at least one woman on the team, and it's for a great cause for the Minot Public

18:06
So charity golf tournament, June 27, the Skunk Classic.
18:10
So proud to be a part of it.
18:11
Proud to have Skunk as a member of our family here and to be a member of theirs as well.
18:17
Really awesome stuff that we're getting out there.
18:19
Lot more exciting news too on on the sports realm and with operation combating veteran
18:23
suicide.
18:24
We are the official partner of the Sioux Falls Canaries for their hero of the game.
18:29
So we will be, recruiting veterans who wanna come out and and see some baseball this year.
18:34
We have a calendar available.
18:36
If you are a veteran, drop a comment down in the in the comments here.
18:40
We would love to get you out to a game with the Sioux Falls Canaries this year.
18:43
So lot of great things happening from here tomorrow on the network.
18:47
We're airing an episode we shot with Steve Reed who is the manager of premium seating and
18:54
season tickets for the Minnesota Vikings.
18:56
So that was a really cool conversation.
18:58
NFL schedule just dropped, we're gonna have a ton to talk about on Tuesday on our NFL show.
19:03
So lots of great stuff coming from the network right now, man.
19:06
It's crazy the momentum that we've built up for ourselves here in the last couple of months.
19:13
And on that note, also, with the Skunk Classic, remember, if you're gonna be out there and
19:17
might not, you might as well get some gear.
19:20
Even if your game stinks, you can still look good.
19:26
Oh, and on top of that, Bubba, shout out to, Lance and his team going to the national
19:32
championship
19:33
for Yeah.
19:34
So cool, man.
19:36
Our buddy Lance Christensen, with his team from Colorado Christian are gonna be heading to the
19:42
division two national championship with their golf team.
19:46
So, really excited for them.
19:49
Looking forward to obviously getting a lot more about that, hearing about the whole experience
19:53
when the season's over.
19:55
We don't wanna bug the man while he's in season, but, as soon as it's over and hopefully
20:00
they're coming home with a ship, we're gonna get Lance back on the show to talk all about it
20:04
and really, really happy about that one.
20:07
Get that ring, son.
20:09
Yes, sir.
20:11
It's better than a wedding ring.
20:12
They don't tell you that.
20:13
It's better than a wedding ring.
20:15
It's way better.
20:16
Staying out of that one, buddy.
20:17
I got you.
20:18
It's better.
20:20
Staying out of that one.
20:22
Good luck, Lance.
20:25
Chat GPT.
20:27
That's right.
20:27
Thanks, Valdez.
20:28
You got it.
20:30
This is how that's how we roll.
20:32
This is actually all AI.
20:34
We're not even real people.
20:36
Yeah.
20:36
No.
20:36
I'm just here.
20:38
I'm you're just you're intrusive thoughts.
20:39
Speaking up.
20:40
Now.
20:41
Nice.
20:41
I'm you're the only
20:42
one that that in a coon's age.
20:44
I'm glad you know that actually is the sosa.
20:47
No.
20:47
I mean, kids don't know what that is now.
20:48
They're like, what are you doing?
20:50
95%.
20:51
Come on, bro.
20:53
But yeah.
20:55
Yeah.
20:55
There's, like there's a lot to this course, and there's a lot of action I think is gonna
21:00
happen.
21:01
But if this course doesn't get some rainfall or, you know, the wind was swirling today too,
21:06
so maybe if they get a break in the wind, we'll see some lower scores.
21:10
But I think as long as the conditions stay the way they are and then once you get into the
21:14
weekend with the championship pins, I honestly like, I had Scheffler as my pick at minus 14.
21:20
I'm thinking that whoever wins this might be anywhere in the vicinity of, like, minus minus
21:25
10 at the most, maybe minus nine at right now.
21:30
Because this looks very hard to score on.
21:32
Well, what what wild is that it's fairly straight.
21:35
I'm actually just looking at the course map right now.
21:38
Yeah.
21:39
I was looking at that.
21:39
Maybe that's the old map that I'm seeing, but it's not like there's massive dog legs and a
21:45
lot of hidden, you know, stuff into here, but it is skinny.
21:50
Right?
21:50
It it it is thin fairways.
21:53
It is challenging greens parking lots as you called them, but it looks like it's an
21:59
elevation to them.
22:00
So it's not necessarily a windy course, but it's obviously playing plenty challenging today
22:08
out there.
22:09
Little bit of water, not a lot out there, a lot of trees.
22:11
So if you're
22:12
getting What exactly is the wind right now, Bubba?
22:15
They've been saying on the on the commentary team, it's been swirling.
22:18
So I'm curious what the gust have been getting to.
22:20
Oh, at least 30.
22:22
It's it's growing out.
22:24
Here today.
22:25
I have 40 mile an hour windows blowing all over the place.
22:28
So They're in Pennsylvania.
22:29
Even worse.
22:34
Pretty impressive.
22:35
Man, I can't wait to play some of these courses in the off season.
22:38
Right?
22:39
Like, I'm really looking forward to having an opportunity to golf some of these as as we
22:45
continue to form relationships with guys in the PGA, not just the pros that are playing on the
22:51
weekends, but the guys that are at the courses and are the, you know, course pros, like our
22:57
friend Jason Prendergrass, who came on the show a few weeks ago, gave me his book.
23:02
Shout out to him.
23:03
Get his new book, Dream Driven.
23:05
That's Jason Prendergast.
23:07
Great guy.
23:08
Awesome.
23:09
I recommend you guys check out the episode on here, a man that spent over thirty years as a
23:14
PGA pro.
23:15
And, really awesome to hear his story and just what it means to not you know, just the guys
23:20
that are playing on the tour, but people that are teaching other people the game at these
23:25
courses on a daily basis.
23:27
I I think that's something that often gets overlooked with the, you know, the nonprofit
23:31
most important part of
23:32
the game.
23:33
Yeah.
23:34
It's it's incredible.
23:35
Keep bringing people into the game.
23:37
And Mhmm.
23:39
I have I I'm gonna shout out my PGA pro, Michael Pearson.
23:42
He does a great job over at my home course, and he's helped me understand the swing mechanics.
23:49
And he's explained it in such a way where it's simple to understand, so you don't feel like
23:54
you have to have be like the savant to understand what to do.
23:57
No.
23:58
And I feel like a lot of people maybe watch, you know, the Golf Channel or something like
24:02
that, and they're like, oh, man.
24:03
This looks so hard to do with all the big words and explanations they use for the mechanics.
24:08
It's like, it's really not that hard.
24:10
They just make it sound scarier than what it is.
24:12
So shout out to the CGA
24:13
pros of America.
24:14
So much of this game is just repetition.
24:16
You gotta be getting out on the course.
24:18
If you're going out once a month and just playing around, you're not gonna get a lot
24:22
better at this game.
24:23
You gotta be out there swinging them.
24:25
You gotta be swinging them at home, every day and practicing and, just a of, you know, not
24:32
not really worrying about all the all the stuff.
24:37
Yeah, man.
24:37
Well, you gotta play I've that played 92 holes of golf this week.
24:43
Oh, yeah?
24:45
And I played 36 holes on on Monday alone.
24:50
How old are you?
24:52
I just turned 30.
24:54
Mhmm.
24:55
Let's give it up for hey.
24:56
Yeah.
24:57
His
24:57
his back's hanging in there, boys.
25:00
Spent 96 This is gonna sound crazy.
25:03
Unemployed.
25:04
Fuck, pods.
25:05
He said 96 holes.
25:07
I was like,
25:07
95.
25:08
You know, here's the thing, though.
25:11
The reason my back's still holding on, stretches, tennis ball rotations on the wall,
25:18
and yoga.
25:19
Yoga will save your back, and it will save your knees.
25:23
And not having a job, Shady.
25:25
I think that's the key point there.
25:27
I was gonna say I'm building my own shed too.
25:30
I hear bench seating at the crawdad game.
25:34
Yeah.
25:35
Speaking of which, hey.
25:36
Everybody come over.
25:37
We'll have more, videos coming this weekend.
25:39
I'm a play what?
25:42
Oh god.
25:42
I done forgot the
25:43
the Charlotte trip coming this week.
25:44
Yeah.
25:45
I forgot the name of it.
25:46
One's private.
25:46
I I know I'm not gonna get the name of that one, but the other two are public.
25:50
But, yeah, really nice courses in Charlotte.
25:53
We'll see what public looks like, and then we'll see what one private looks like.
25:57
Yeah.
25:58
There's this one course I haven't played yet in my hometown.
26:01
It's the Hesperia Golf Course, and it actually used to be a PGA course, I think, for, like,
26:07
the better part of forty years.
26:08
Yeah.
26:09
So it's supposed to be the toughest course in town.
26:11
So I wanna go give that a try at some point this summer.
26:14
Yeah.
26:17
We we have, like, one course in South Dakota, I think, that's qualified for the PGA.
26:22
That's where the Sanford International was.
26:24
Shout out to the Minnehaha Country Club.
26:26
I hope one day to be able to play a beautiful course right in downtown Sioux Falls.
26:30
I'm actually going to a real nice one on Saturday morning called Tatanka.
26:34
That's a top 10 course in the nation.
26:36
That's right across the river in Nebraska, about ten minutes from my house.
26:40
And that one's beautiful.
26:41
I got a chance to play the back nine last year.
26:43
Had a great time doing it.
26:45
I did it ate me alive, but, man, it it was a lot of fun getting out there on such a
26:50
beautiful course, and the veteran golf association from Nebraska and South Dakota are
26:55
out there for events.
26:56
So I'll be out there shooting some content, getting some interviews with some people, and,
27:00
yeah, it should be a great time.
27:02
That's more of what I I look forward to doing and, just having a a great weekend, but we'll,
27:07
of course, be back here recapping.
27:10
That would be day three, I guess, on Saturday after the cuts have been made and Yeah.
27:14
Things have been happening.
27:15
Boys, I got supper to do.
27:17
I don't know if you care to stay on and chitchat more.
27:20
We're gonna do this all again tomorrow.
27:22
Not much to recap today yet.
27:24
Not a lot today other than the course was kinda tough.
27:29
The wind was swirling.
27:30
And you know what, Bubba?
27:31
I think that might be why the scores are so well, in this case, high is because even though
27:37
it's a relatively straight course, if those winds are really swirling, if you're hitting it
27:42
anything but straight, if you have a cut or a natural draw, it's taking it to the most
27:47
extreme direction or taking it right out of the air.
27:50
Yeah.
27:51
And I think that's killing Bryson is because, you know, with his driver too, it's specially
27:55
lofted for distance.
27:57
So if he's hitting it bad, then it's gonna show Oh,
28:01
Oh, not even just putting it up into the air and you're letting the wind do whatever it's
28:05
going to do with it.
28:06
Even if you hit it and it was aimed straight down the fairway in the air, that wind grabs it
28:11
and blows it, you know, 30 yards left or right.
28:13
Hold on.
28:14
It's pushing it into
28:15
This is a very this is a long irons course.
28:17
Hold on.
28:18
Hold on.
28:18
Hold on.
28:19
Bubba.
28:21
Yeah.
28:21
If you're reading some of the stuff that I'm reading and you're looking at these maps and
28:26
I'm, like, I'm looking at these maps, let's just assume Bryson didn't look at these maps
28:31
and didn't read these things.
28:33
If you didn't read this and you didn't look at this, because I'm looking at this right now.
28:38
Once again, whoever built this place is evil.
28:42
But are you reading?
28:43
Yeah.
28:43
Donald Ross built this place.
28:45
Every green is raised and falls off.
28:48
If you can't get in the bunkers are what's framing your hole visually.
28:53
So when you look out, you see the bunkers, you think, oh, this and that.
28:57
Nah.
28:57
Fairway's sloped, so it don't matter.
29:00
You bet you're looking over here thinking, I need to avoid that.
29:02
I'm a hit up here.
29:03
It's slide you right back down.
29:04
So you gotta
29:05
know your boy built this place.
29:07
Donald Ross built this place.
29:09
Boy.
29:09
Come on, Donald.
29:10
Let's go, Donald.
29:12
Wait till I get up here, Donald.
29:14
I got words.
29:14
If it's a Pete Dye course or a Donald Ross course, you're in for it's gonna eat you.
29:19
No, Donald.
29:20
Mean
29:21
I can't wait.
29:22
Well, we'll be back here tomorrow.
29:24
We'll recap, day two with you guys.
29:27
We'll probably go around the same time.
29:28
06:30 ish works for me.
29:31
Gotta make sure the gets fed and everything, though, too.
29:34
So appreciate you guys jumping in with me.
29:36

29:50
Y'all can check them out and help support the show by supporting them and looking good even
29:57
if your game stinks.
29:59
Any parting shots here before we get out of here, fellas?
30:04
Jordan Spade's still a sleeper.
30:08
I think my parting shot would be this is gonna get a whole lot interest like, more interesting
30:15
on Saturday.
30:16
And I have a feeling that my pick's gonna win, but I also have a feeling that it's gonna be
30:20
really close.
30:22
Speed I feel like this is gonna come down.
30:23
What?
30:27
Hey, man.
30:28
I'm trying to get some pure golf clubs.
30:29
Okay?
30:30
Well, man.
30:31
I guess I guess Rory at minus 12 for the masters.
30:34
I didn't win my clubs.
30:36
And then he's like, oh, we're gonna roll it into the next one.
30:38
Oh, we're gonna roll it into the next one.
30:39
We're gonna roll it in.
30:40
I'm like, okay.
30:41
Well, whatever.
30:41
I guess I you know, I got my entry in.
30:44
I don't know how this thing's working.
30:46
I answered about a thousand contest over masters weekend, man.
30:50
I didn't win shit.
30:51
I do remember that now.
30:52
Yeah.
30:53
It was.
30:53
Let's keep on I'll work for mine.
30:55
That's alright.
30:55
I'll work for
30:56
mine.
30:56
We're gonna make them out of a roll.
30:58
Yeah.
30:59
You got it.

31:00
I'll just you know, at the end of the day, I'll just pay for them.
