1
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:14,660
Welcome back everybody to Pull Hook Golf, the
podcast.

2
00:00:14,984 --> 00:00:16,364
I'm your host, Matt Cook.

3
00:00:16,904 --> 00:00:22,364
Tonight, we have an epic episode for all of you
that are not watching the World Series.

4
00:00:22,504 --> 00:00:22,984
Yes, folks.

5
00:00:22,984 --> 00:00:23,945
It's absolutely killing me.

6
00:00:23,945 --> 00:00:27,864
I'm a die hard Yankee fan, and they are about
to be swept by the Dodgers potentially.

7
00:00:27,864 --> 00:00:30,410
But they are currently up in the game.

8
00:00:30,410 --> 00:00:35,530
So we are hoping that it stays that way the
rest of the way, but we've got an awesome

9
00:00:35,530 --> 00:00:37,469
episode for those of you tuning in.

10
00:00:37,609 --> 00:00:39,789
First off, we're gonna go over the tee off
report.

11
00:00:40,009 --> 00:00:43,204
That's where we begin our episodes now with
Butsy.

12
00:00:43,504 --> 00:00:48,085
Then we've got the pro golf recap with the Zozo
championship.

13
00:00:48,545 --> 00:00:54,144
We didn't talk about the other one this week,
which is the Genesis championship that was over

14
00:00:54,144 --> 00:00:55,204
in South Korea.

15
00:00:55,380 --> 00:00:58,579
We're gonna be talking about that because there
was a little bit of drama behind that whole

16
00:00:58,579 --> 00:00:59,079
ordeal.

17
00:00:59,380 --> 00:01:02,340
And then we got the swanee style segment as per
usual.

18
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:03,719
That is a fan favorite.

19
00:01:03,940 --> 00:01:11,075
We've got the packs proposed changes, which
that is the Players Advisory Council of the PGA

20
00:01:11,075 --> 00:01:11,395
Tour.

21
00:01:11,395 --> 00:01:18,194
They are proposing changes for this 2026
season, and it's pretty wild in terms of what

22
00:01:18,194 --> 00:01:19,075
they're looking to do.

23
00:01:19,075 --> 00:01:22,135
So we're gonna we're gonna get into that as
well.

24
00:01:22,194 --> 00:01:26,969
Now that being said, we also have a LiveGolf
update for everybody.

25
00:01:27,269 --> 00:01:28,010
That's exciting.

26
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:37,284
But first, let's start off with our the the
LiveGolf update is, is one that many people

27
00:01:37,344 --> 00:01:39,505
don't necessarily love, but some do.

28
00:01:39,505 --> 00:01:41,745
Some absolutely love it.

29
00:01:41,745 --> 00:01:47,025
Now the Swannies, Swannies style segment, we're
not there yet, folks.

30
00:01:47,025 --> 00:01:47,905
We're not there yet.

31
00:01:47,905 --> 00:01:49,365
It's gonna be a great episode.

32
00:01:49,424 --> 00:01:54,799
But, no, the, Swannies, we wanna give them a
shout out here as our sponsor of this episode.

43
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:32,354
They just had a big warehouse sale, so I'm
still waiting on my Black Swan stuff.

44
00:02:32,354 --> 00:02:34,194
I'll be wearing that as soon as I get it.

45
00:02:34,194 --> 00:02:37,155
That's their higher end line that I've been
talking about for 2 weeks now.

46
00:02:37,155 --> 00:02:38,995
This is one of my favorites you got on right
now.

47
00:02:38,995 --> 00:02:41,235
So it kinda has a camo look from a oh my god.

48
00:02:41,235 --> 00:02:45,175
Almost pulled my fucking hey.

49
00:02:46,379 --> 00:02:51,580
It looks like camo from a distance, but when
you get up close, it's like some sort of a a

50
00:02:51,580 --> 00:02:52,719
native print.

51
00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:52,939
Yeah.

52
00:02:52,939 --> 00:02:54,699
It's kind of like the an Aztec print.

53
00:02:54,699 --> 00:02:55,680
You know what I mean?

54
00:02:58,780 --> 00:02:59,280
Sorry.

55
00:03:00,064 --> 00:03:01,185
I was feeling it.

56
00:03:01,185 --> 00:03:01,985
Got it.

57
00:03:01,985 --> 00:03:07,125
Set the Let's go ahead and get started here
with the tee off report.

58
00:03:07,745 --> 00:03:12,884
I'm pumped about this tee off report this week
because instead of doing the word association

59
00:03:12,944 --> 00:03:17,870
to get us kick started, I wanted to start off
with, your top tips, Budsy.

60
00:03:18,250 --> 00:03:22,510
Your top tips for kids that are just starting
to play the game of golf.

61
00:03:22,650 --> 00:03:26,430
So what are your top tips for kids playing the
game of golf?

62
00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:27,450
Oh, god.

63
00:03:27,450 --> 00:03:28,409
Where do I begin?

64
00:03:28,409 --> 00:03:30,349
I'm trying to think back when I started.

65
00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:39,185
I think you gotta figure out, what way you
really prefer to consume tobacco early in life?

66
00:03:39,185 --> 00:03:40,944
I think you gotta is it a chew?

67
00:03:40,944 --> 00:03:41,745
Are we doing Xan?

68
00:03:41,745 --> 00:03:43,020
Are we doing the real thing?

69
00:03:43,020 --> 00:03:43,980
We smoking darts.

70
00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:45,040
We smoking cigars.

71
00:03:45,099 --> 00:03:46,080
What are we doing?

72
00:03:46,139 --> 00:03:46,639
Snuff.

73
00:03:47,819 --> 00:03:48,300
And then

74
00:03:48,379 --> 00:03:50,080
Do kids know what snuff is?

75
00:03:50,620 --> 00:03:50,939
I don't

76
00:03:50,939 --> 00:03:52,460
think I find out.

77
00:03:52,460 --> 00:03:53,040
You know?

78
00:03:53,419 --> 00:03:53,980
I don't know.

79
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:54,939
I think it's starting for me.

80
00:03:54,939 --> 00:03:59,735
I went to a wedding and stole a cigar, ran into
a park and smoked it until I puked.

81
00:03:59,955 --> 00:04:02,194
And then figured out this is fucking amazing.

82
00:04:02,194 --> 00:04:03,175
And I was addicted.

83
00:04:03,314 --> 00:04:03,715
No.

84
00:04:04,355 --> 00:04:06,294
I tried dip once, by the way.

85
00:04:06,355 --> 00:04:07,955
And it was a dip.

86
00:04:07,955 --> 00:04:10,215
Oh, tobacco dip, you know, chew.

87
00:04:10,530 --> 00:04:13,889
And, sure enough, I tried it one time puked my
absolute brains out.

88
00:04:13,889 --> 00:04:15,030
It was peach flavored.

89
00:04:15,250 --> 00:04:17,329
That's why you didn't want to do it when I
bought it.

90
00:04:17,329 --> 00:04:17,490
Yeah.

91
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:17,810
Yeah.

92
00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:20,289
No, not a, not a, not a chew guy.

93
00:04:20,289 --> 00:04:22,689
And I've never smoked a cigarette either.

94
00:04:22,689 --> 00:04:23,189
So

95
00:04:23,854 --> 00:04:24,175
Good.

96
00:04:24,175 --> 00:04:24,915
They're delicious.

97
00:04:24,975 --> 00:04:25,714
Don't start.

98
00:04:26,095 --> 00:04:28,095
But kids, do some kids.

99
00:04:28,095 --> 00:04:28,334
Yeah.

100
00:04:28,334 --> 00:04:29,055
Get prepared.

101
00:04:29,055 --> 00:04:29,694
You got that.

102
00:04:29,694 --> 00:04:30,894
You're gonna figure that out.

103
00:04:30,894 --> 00:04:37,160
You gotta find a loyal adult, that will buy
that stuff for you, because, you know, on when

104
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,620
you start, you're gonna have several years
before you can buy it yourself.

105
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,399
I'm not going.

106
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:41,620
Just kidding, folks.

107
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:42,660
That's a joke.

108
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:44,660
Big update there from TrotGulfers.

109
00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:45,860
64 Yankees.

110
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:46,500
Continue.

111
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,459
Oh, shit.

112
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:48,000
No.

113
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,155
I'm very, invested in the series.

114
00:04:50,155 --> 00:04:50,875
I am too.

115
00:04:50,875 --> 00:04:51,915
We're low on numbers

116
00:04:51,915 --> 00:04:52,814
because of it.

117
00:04:53,194 --> 00:04:53,694
Yeah.

118
00:04:53,835 --> 00:04:57,055
A lot of baseball cards ride on that as well,
values.

119
00:04:57,595 --> 00:04:58,074
But yeah.

120
00:04:58,074 --> 00:04:58,574
No.

121
00:04:59,035 --> 00:05:02,175
I think, you need to practice.

122
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,280
You need to practice more than you think you
need to practice.

123
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,080
That's what I that'd be

124
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:07,040
Hot tips.

125
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,280
Yeah.

126
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:08,500
You you gotta practice.

127
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,120
Whether you have some famous coach or whatever,
you need to start out with the basics, put a

128
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:19,545
club on the ground, learn how to aim first and
foremost, and then practice aiming every day of

129
00:05:19,545 --> 00:05:20,764
your fucking life.

130
00:05:21,064 --> 00:05:25,084
To piggyback on that, you are never as good as
you think you are in golf.

131
00:05:25,225 --> 00:05:25,725
No.

132
00:05:26,345 --> 00:05:27,545
Remember that kids.

133
00:05:27,545 --> 00:05:29,084
And did Tiger see that?

134
00:05:29,145 --> 00:05:30,000
I don't know.

135
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:30,720
Should have.

136
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,199
I know.

137
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:32,000
He really should have.

138
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:32,160
Yeah.

139
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,139
Only one that was as good as he thought he was
was Moe Norman.

140
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:36,980
Moe Norman.

141
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:37,519
Thought he

142
00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:38,560
had He really was.

143
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,759
He was autistic too.

144
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:40,259
Hey.

145
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:43,379
Talking about autistic people, have you seen
the guy on Instagram?

146
00:05:43,745 --> 00:05:46,464
The autistic guy that makes, like, all those
shots?

147
00:05:46,464 --> 00:05:47,665
I can't comment on that.

148
00:05:47,665 --> 00:05:48,625
Holy cow.

149
00:05:48,865 --> 00:05:49,685
Believe him.

150
00:05:49,824 --> 00:05:51,045
But yeah.

151
00:05:51,745 --> 00:05:52,384
I don't know.

152
00:05:52,384 --> 00:05:53,524
I don't think he's real.

153
00:05:53,985 --> 00:05:55,105
I think he's like, shit.

154
00:05:55,105 --> 00:05:56,725
What if I just said I was autistic?

155
00:05:57,860 --> 00:06:02,040
I'd probably have a way bigger growth in my
account if I just went that route.

156
00:06:02,339 --> 00:06:02,660
And

157
00:06:02,819 --> 00:06:03,540
Really in the niche.

158
00:06:03,699 --> 00:06:04,259
Fucking unbelievable.

159
00:06:04,259 --> 00:06:07,720
This is the most high performing autistic
golfer I've seen in my entire life.

160
00:06:07,939 --> 00:06:08,439
No.

161
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:09,620
I think he's authentic.

162
00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:10,305
I think he's great.

163
00:06:10,865 --> 00:06:11,425
Hell of a thing.

164
00:06:11,425 --> 00:06:12,064
I know who he's talking

165
00:06:12,064 --> 00:06:12,384
about.

166
00:06:12,384 --> 00:06:12,544
Yeah.

167
00:06:12,544 --> 00:06:13,044
Exactly.

168
00:06:13,425 --> 00:06:18,225
Now moving right into the next segment since
we're already hot on it, we're gonna go right

169
00:06:18,225 --> 00:06:20,004
into Buziana's soapbox.

170
00:06:20,704 --> 00:06:23,904
This is one of the absolute new favorite
segments.

171
00:06:23,904 --> 00:06:25,764
You're seeing it all over social media.

172
00:06:25,829 --> 00:06:31,829
I've been getting a ton of DMs recently telling
me that they love the pet peeve segment is what

173
00:06:31,829 --> 00:06:32,870
people are calling it.

174
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:34,550
I call it Butsy on a soapbox.

175
00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:40,169
So, Butsy, what is your biggest pet peeve at
the end of a golf round?

176
00:06:40,904 --> 00:06:47,485
Oh, pet peeve in general, socially on the golf
course is cheap people.

177
00:06:47,625 --> 00:06:48,345
Cheap golfers.

178
00:06:48,345 --> 00:06:50,764
You're playing the wrong fucking sport if
you're cheap.

179
00:06:50,824 --> 00:06:54,584
And I know there's Munis out there that are $20
and allow you to play in the summer without a

180
00:06:54,584 --> 00:06:55,384
fucking shirt on.

181
00:06:55,384 --> 00:07:01,839
But even still, whether you spent $20 to play
golf or 200 the guy that finishes a round at a

182
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,680
nice club first off he knew what it was gonna
cost don't finish the round and stiff the

183
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,944
fucking cart kid because you paid so much to
play, and definitely don't verbalize that to

184
00:07:12,944 --> 00:07:13,444
anyone.

185
00:07:13,824 --> 00:07:15,525
Do not tell anybody that fuck.

186
00:07:15,904 --> 00:07:16,464
See that guy?

187
00:07:16,464 --> 00:07:19,285
He's like, have you seen these people?

188
00:07:19,745 --> 00:07:24,180
Dude, they'll see the cart kid and park a
quarter mile away from the fucking backdrop and

189
00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:28,199
walk around the building to avoid the
uncomfortable nature of the conversation.

190
00:07:28,259 --> 00:07:31,220
When it's like, just give, give them $5, give
it.

191
00:07:31,220 --> 00:07:35,399
You really should tip them a 20, especially
today's day and age of 5 is like a dollar bill.

192
00:07:35,459 --> 00:07:39,915
But but at least a 55 is the 5 is the standard,
right?

193
00:07:40,074 --> 00:07:46,714
To where you absolutely need to give your
outside services people at least $5 and I will

194
00:07:46,714 --> 00:07:47,274
admit it.

195
00:07:47,274 --> 00:07:50,495
I was a, one of those guys that never
understood.

196
00:07:51,355 --> 00:07:55,819
Well, if he doesn't clean my clubs, why am I
giving him any money until you work outside

197
00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:56,379
services?

198
00:07:56,519 --> 00:08:01,800
You have no idea the amount of work that goes
in to prepping your golf cart, washing it,

199
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,120
cleaning it, getting it ready, charging it.

200
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,735
And then all of a sudden being able to put that
out there, park it in a proper position so it

201
00:08:08,735 --> 00:08:12,675
looks pretty, and then stash your clubs up
there for you in the beginning of the round.

202
00:08:12,814 --> 00:08:15,954
There is a lot of things that go into it that
people just don't understand.

203
00:08:16,574 --> 00:08:21,720
It it'd be like going out for a fucking nice
steak and and drinking and being like, oh, this

204
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,159
meal cost me $200.

205
00:08:23,159 --> 00:08:24,779
I'm not fucking tipping the waitress.

206
00:08:25,159 --> 00:08:27,259
Like, that's what these dudes are working for.

207
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:29,479
I mean, half the time, it's just above minimum
wage.

208
00:08:29,479 --> 00:08:30,360
Oh, that's the other thing.

209
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,404
They're getting there at 3:45 in the morning in
the summertime, or they're there in the

210
00:08:34,404 --> 00:08:37,684
wintertime by 6:15, and it's fucking freezing
cold outside.

211
00:08:37,684 --> 00:08:38,804
They're pulling out all the cards.

212
00:08:38,804 --> 00:08:39,924
They're making sure everything's clean.

213
00:08:39,924 --> 00:08:40,965
Coolers are iced.

214
00:08:40,965 --> 00:08:42,264
They can't feel their fingers.

215
00:08:42,485 --> 00:08:47,684
They're dressed like Eskimos, and they're
making sure that when you show up from your

216
00:08:47,684 --> 00:08:50,420
little hungover Friday night, you got a
beautiful little place.

217
00:08:50,420 --> 00:08:52,120
They're grabbing your bag from you.

218
00:08:52,660 --> 00:08:54,100
And a little segue here.

219
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:57,299
If you're gonna bring beer to the golf course,
don't bring more than, like, 5 because your

220
00:08:57,299 --> 00:09:01,000
bag's gonna be insanely heavy, and you look
like an even bigger cheap fuck.

221
00:09:01,059 --> 00:09:03,875
So that's all I'll say about that.

222
00:09:04,174 --> 00:09:09,074
R g m, I will just say this, used to have us
actually search people's bags.

223
00:09:09,855 --> 00:09:11,454
That's bold because you don't know.

224
00:09:11,454 --> 00:09:12,815
Like, you might find a gun.

225
00:09:12,815 --> 00:09:14,595
You might find an 8 ball of cocaine.

226
00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:16,540
You might find a dead midget arm.

227
00:09:16,540 --> 00:09:18,059
You don't know what's in this guy's golf bag.

228
00:09:18,059 --> 00:09:19,740
You don't know what kind of a night he had.

229
00:09:19,740 --> 00:09:21,100
So you do do

230
00:09:21,340 --> 00:09:22,299
It was exciting, though.

231
00:09:22,299 --> 00:09:24,000
You could get sued for that, maybe.

232
00:09:24,059 --> 00:09:24,299
No.

233
00:09:24,299 --> 00:09:26,240
Because they're on private property.

234
00:09:26,540 --> 00:09:27,040
Yeah.

235
00:09:27,545 --> 00:09:29,325
Pull that little midget arm out.

236
00:09:29,465 --> 00:09:30,605
The fuck is this?

237
00:09:31,625 --> 00:09:36,504
We caught a few dudes, but instead of kicking
them off, we just told them to politely put

238
00:09:36,504 --> 00:09:38,285
their beers back in their car.

239
00:09:38,345 --> 00:09:39,065
That's fine.

240
00:09:39,065 --> 00:09:39,465
Yeah.

241
00:09:39,465 --> 00:09:40,445
Come on, guys.

242
00:09:40,879 --> 00:09:41,200
Yeah.

243
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:41,519
Yeah.

244
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:45,279
The best is when you're playing somewhere and
you're comped and people show up and do that

245
00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:45,779
shit.

246
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:49,840
The least you can do is throw some throw a few
bucks towards food and beverage.

247
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,080
Right?

248
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,840
Like, you'll spend your money on beer there.

249
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,379
Even if it's $6 a beer.

250
00:09:53,785 --> 00:09:54,585
Spot on.

251
00:09:54,585 --> 00:09:55,404
Spot on.

252
00:09:55,544 --> 00:09:57,644
That's all I have to say about that.

253
00:09:58,024 --> 00:09:58,524
What

254
00:09:59,544 --> 00:10:05,304
what a start to this episode on an off week too
because there is no golf this week, but there

255
00:10:05,304 --> 00:10:06,924
was golf this past weekend.

256
00:10:07,065 --> 00:10:13,889
So let's bring on our tour insider, mister BG
himself, Brent Grant.

257
00:10:14,669 --> 00:10:16,110
Brent Grant, every button.

258
00:10:16,110 --> 00:10:16,610
Woah.

259
00:10:16,669 --> 00:10:17,629
There he is.

260
00:10:17,629 --> 00:10:18,350
Look at him.

261
00:10:18,350 --> 00:10:19,230
Look at him.

262
00:10:19,230 --> 00:10:20,769
Got the Skokie going.

263
00:10:20,909 --> 00:10:21,409
Wow.

264
00:10:22,350 --> 00:10:24,945
Oh, I love I love this new camera view.

265
00:10:24,945 --> 00:10:27,904
You look like the nose gunner in a b 52 right
now.

266
00:10:27,904 --> 00:10:28,804
Holy cow.

267
00:10:29,264 --> 00:10:32,325
You know, just wrecking the folds of honor, you
know.

268
00:10:32,705 --> 00:10:33,625
Got my America.

269
00:10:33,904 --> 00:10:34,565
My microphone.

270
00:10:35,105 --> 00:10:35,504
America.

271
00:10:35,504 --> 00:10:35,665
We're

272
00:10:35,665 --> 00:10:36,545
in it tonight, boys.

273
00:10:36,545 --> 00:10:37,169
How are we doing?

274
00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:38,289
Oh, we're doing great.

275
00:10:38,289 --> 00:10:40,149
You're a little quiet there, Brent.

276
00:10:40,690 --> 00:10:41,730
Am I a little quiet?

277
00:10:41,730 --> 00:10:42,049
Yeah.

278
00:10:42,049 --> 00:10:42,289
Sure.

279
00:10:42,370 --> 00:10:44,209
We can we can buckle up on our end.

280
00:10:44,209 --> 00:10:44,769
You're fine.

281
00:10:44,929 --> 00:10:45,589
You say.

282
00:10:45,649 --> 00:10:48,289
It's right next to my place holes.

283
00:10:48,289 --> 00:10:48,529
Yeah.

284
00:10:48,529 --> 00:10:49,089
You're fine.

285
00:10:49,089 --> 00:10:49,889
We're not Jake on

286
00:10:49,889 --> 00:10:50,529
the back here.

287
00:10:50,529 --> 00:10:51,009
He's gonna

288
00:10:51,009 --> 00:10:51,649
turn me around.

289
00:10:51,649 --> 00:10:52,514
He's got you.

290
00:10:52,514 --> 00:10:52,595
I

291
00:10:52,595 --> 00:10:53,475
can sense it.

292
00:10:53,475 --> 00:10:54,595
He's he's locked in.

293
00:10:54,595 --> 00:10:59,154
Your your microphone's so much better now ever
since we got you hooked up.

294
00:10:59,154 --> 00:11:00,035
I mean, my god.

295
00:11:00,035 --> 00:11:01,795
Look at you with the stogie too.

296
00:11:01,795 --> 00:11:02,375
Oh, dude.

297
00:11:02,434 --> 00:11:02,915
Always.

298
00:11:02,915 --> 00:11:03,634
Come on, guys.

299
00:11:03,634 --> 00:11:06,090
Man, fantastic stuff out of you.

300
00:11:06,570 --> 00:11:11,870
Butsy with the burps, you with the cigar, me
just trying to remain patient.

301
00:11:12,250 --> 00:11:18,809
And let's get right into the Zozo championship
recap, which is our we were very Asian this

302
00:11:18,809 --> 00:11:20,590
week when it came to golf.

303
00:11:20,945 --> 00:11:23,924
We were over in Japan for the Zozo
championship.

304
00:11:24,384 --> 00:11:24,945
That's cool.

305
00:11:24,945 --> 00:11:28,084
And, the winner, Nico Echeverria.

306
00:11:28,705 --> 00:11:29,105
Yes.

307
00:11:29,105 --> 00:11:30,004
I'm not Asian.

308
00:11:30,144 --> 00:11:30,304
Do you

309
00:11:30,304 --> 00:11:33,184
know that I actually studied how to pronounce
that?

310
00:11:33,184 --> 00:11:34,084
Is it Echeverria?

311
00:11:34,225 --> 00:11:34,304
That's

312
00:11:34,304 --> 00:11:34,784
interesting.

313
00:11:34,784 --> 00:11:35,284
Echeverria.

314
00:11:35,745 --> 00:11:36,179
Echeverria.

315
00:11:36,339 --> 00:11:36,839
Echevarria.

316
00:11:37,299 --> 00:11:37,700
Yeah.

317
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:37,779
Yeah.

318
00:11:37,779 --> 00:11:38,279
Yeah.

319
00:11:38,419 --> 00:11:40,600
I had to listen to it at least 32 times.

320
00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:42,440
I liked when he called his parents.

321
00:11:42,980 --> 00:11:43,220
Yeah.

322
00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:44,100
That little segue.

323
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:46,019
They stopped because he had to go talk to
sponsors.

324
00:11:46,019 --> 00:11:48,339
He was like and I didn't realize he was that
foreign.

325
00:11:48,339 --> 00:11:49,539
He's he's from Medellin.

326
00:11:49,539 --> 00:11:49,860
He's like,

327
00:11:49,860 --> 00:11:51,284
Ay he's like, Ay I decali.

328
00:11:51,464 --> 00:11:51,964
Yeah.

329
00:11:52,144 --> 00:11:56,245
That's great.

330
00:11:56,625 --> 00:11:58,965
I have no idea what accent that was.

331
00:11:59,425 --> 00:11:59,925
It

332
00:12:00,384 --> 00:12:00,945
was it

333
00:12:00,945 --> 00:12:01,924
was not Colombian.

334
00:12:02,384 --> 00:12:02,625
Hey.

335
00:12:02,625 --> 00:12:03,345
Where is he?

336
00:12:03,345 --> 00:12:03,504
Yeah.

337
00:12:03,504 --> 00:12:04,490
It's a me.

338
00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:05,190
It's pretty

339
00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:05,269
cool.

340
00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:05,669
Let me.

341
00:12:05,669 --> 00:12:06,309
I'm alright.

342
00:12:06,309 --> 00:12:07,450
I'm a couple of beers.

343
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:07,909
So

344
00:12:08,389 --> 00:12:08,549
yeah.

345
00:12:08,549 --> 00:12:12,070
But Nico ends up shooting 20 under to win.

346
00:12:12,070 --> 00:12:17,110
This is his 2nd career win and, he won the 2023
Puerto Rican open.

347
00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:21,375
So in back to back years, folks, we've got a
tour winner here.

348
00:12:21,434 --> 00:12:23,595
But this is obviously a much bigger event.

349
00:12:23,595 --> 00:12:24,894
It was a limited field.

350
00:12:25,115 --> 00:12:31,274
There was only, what, like, 80 players around
that number, this week, which it was very much

351
00:12:31,274 --> 00:12:37,120
kinda like one of those signature series events
in terms of the size of the field with no cut.

352
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:43,200
And he was going up against, somebody in Justin
Thomas.

353
00:12:43,659 --> 00:12:44,720
Oh my god.

354
00:12:45,659 --> 00:12:46,720
The Lip Ripper.

355
00:12:47,384 --> 00:12:47,884
He

356
00:12:48,745 --> 00:12:53,465
folks, Justin Thomas should've won that golf
tournament by, like, 5 shots.

357
00:12:53,465 --> 00:12:55,305
Ask Brent if he knows what that's like.

358
00:12:55,305 --> 00:13:00,264
He saw the amount of lips Justin Thomas rolled
the ball over, and I know I could probably

359
00:13:00,264 --> 00:13:01,884
speak on Brent's behalf here.

360
00:13:02,199 --> 00:13:03,500
He knows that pain.

361
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,100
Brent, tell us about it.

362
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,379
What's it what's it feel like to basically hit
every green, give yourself about every single,

363
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,779
every single birdie about 15 footer and not be
able to make a thing.

364
00:13:19,704 --> 00:13:20,605
Pretty close.

365
00:13:21,144 --> 00:13:26,825
You ever, you ever basically you know, I mean,
like, when you were 16, 17, 18, you know, your

366
00:13:26,825 --> 00:13:31,029
first girlfriend, you know, that's you know,
almost getting it in.

367
00:13:31,029 --> 00:13:32,470
That's basically what that feels like.

368
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:33,629
And then just the

369
00:13:33,629 --> 00:13:34,169
the sheer

370
00:13:34,789 --> 00:13:38,809
disappointment, not even I like it's, you know,
just and then yeah.

371
00:13:39,589 --> 00:13:41,830
You know, that's basically what that feels
like.

372
00:13:41,830 --> 00:13:43,190
That was my game as well.

373
00:13:43,190 --> 00:13:48,504
I either made everything or I missed everything
and more so I missed everything.

374
00:13:49,284 --> 00:13:49,605
Yeah.

375
00:13:49,605 --> 00:13:51,365
Well, it's good thing you got a lab putter now.

376
00:13:51,365 --> 00:13:51,684
You make.

377
00:13:51,684 --> 00:13:52,424
Oh, wait.

378
00:13:52,725 --> 00:13:53,764
You know what, though?

379
00:13:53,764 --> 00:13:54,164
I'll tell

380
00:13:54,164 --> 00:13:56,904
you what right now there, Brent, you missed it.

381
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:57,480
Alright.

382
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:57,639
He's

383
00:13:57,799 --> 00:13:59,159
We we can't we

384
00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:01,000
we can't talk about this right

385
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:01,320
now.

386
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:01,799
No.

387
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:05,179
But I will just say there might be a blade back
in the bag.

388
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:05,980
Oh, well.

389
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,360
And 2 seconds after that, our our

390
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,899
amazing my body.

391
00:14:12,225 --> 00:14:14,544
Our amazing, simulator No.

392
00:14:14,544 --> 00:14:17,684
You know what's funny is, and I will just say
this.

393
00:14:17,745 --> 00:14:23,584
We were filming, and I'm, like, I really wanna
have my cool putter cover back on, which is a

394
00:14:23,584 --> 00:14:24,884
Michael Jordan shoe.

395
00:14:25,329 --> 00:14:25,829
Absolutely.

396
00:14:25,970 --> 00:14:30,690
And sure enough, I, threw the blade back in for
that reason, then I was, like, woah, this feels

397
00:14:30,690 --> 00:14:31,829
pretty damn good.

398
00:14:31,889 --> 00:14:37,269
But you did say something to me on the episode
before I, pulled out the blade.

399
00:14:37,684 --> 00:14:40,565
You were like, yeah, you take it outside and
cut across it.

400
00:14:40,565 --> 00:14:42,824
I'm like, that's never been me.

401
00:14:42,884 --> 00:14:46,804
So I'm like, well, if I'm doing that, my fault
used to be pulling it too far back to the

402
00:14:46,804 --> 00:14:47,304
inside.

403
00:14:47,684 --> 00:14:51,784
Sure enough, it's pretty evened out right now
with the blade butter.

404
00:14:51,845 --> 00:14:52,200
Yeah.

405
00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:53,019
Yeah.

406
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:53,559
Very sweet.

407
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:53,720
You know,

408
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,559
I've I've I've putted well enough and I've
putted poor enough to at least be able to tell

409
00:14:57,559 --> 00:14:58,279
somebody that.

410
00:14:58,279 --> 00:14:59,340
That's a good thing.

411
00:14:59,639 --> 00:14:59,960
But Yeah.

412
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:00,440
I got a career

413
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,040
Nothing against the lab putter.

414
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,419
They it'll make reappearances.

415
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:04,759
I am sure.

416
00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:08,004
It's a great company with, a lot of good
comments.

417
00:15:08,004 --> 00:15:13,605
I just I just wish they would be a little bit
more honest with with, what actually happens

418
00:15:13,605 --> 00:15:15,205
when you take the putter in your hands.

419
00:15:15,205 --> 00:15:16,404
But other than that, hey.

420
00:15:16,404 --> 00:15:19,139
I think I saw Fowler putt in a lot.

421
00:15:19,139 --> 00:15:19,700
You did.

422
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:20,519
You did.

423
00:15:20,579 --> 00:15:26,339
Let's go back to Justin Thomas really quick
because him and Max Grazerman tied for 2nd at

424
00:15:26,339 --> 00:15:28,120
minus 19 under.

425
00:15:28,820 --> 00:15:30,179
Obviously, we're talking about it.

426
00:15:30,179 --> 00:15:32,440
JT's butter went absolutely cold.

427
00:15:32,585 --> 00:15:35,625
He could have won that tournament probably by 4
or 5 shots.

428
00:15:35,625 --> 00:15:40,605
I imagine if he made half of his pots that, he
should have made.

429
00:15:42,904 --> 00:15:45,980
And then sure enough, max grazer, man.

430
00:15:45,980 --> 00:15:47,740
God, he's been playing some good golf.

431
00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:48,539
He's right there

432
00:15:48,539 --> 00:15:49,100
the whole way.

433
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:55,019
He just, he, he just barely missed a birdie
putt on the last to tie to go into a playoff

434
00:15:55,019 --> 00:15:55,659
with Nico.

435
00:15:55,659 --> 00:15:58,585
He played that par 5 18th really poorly.

436
00:15:58,585 --> 00:16:00,665
I didn't like the way he played it at all.

437
00:16:00,665 --> 00:16:06,264
Obviously a poor drive set him up to where he
had to lay up and then he pulled his approach

438
00:16:06,264 --> 00:16:10,424
shot and then just missed the birdie putt to
force the playoff.

439
00:16:10,424 --> 00:16:12,504
But he's been close a lot this year.

440
00:16:12,504 --> 00:16:18,950
Now he's got 4 top fives this year and 5 top
ten finishes in 2024.

441
00:16:19,169 --> 00:16:25,329
So my question to both of you, and I'll start
with you, Brent, is he do as far as a win on

442
00:16:25,329 --> 00:16:25,829
tour?

443
00:16:25,889 --> 00:16:28,370
And when he does, do you think he's gonna break
out?

444
00:16:28,370 --> 00:16:29,804
Do you think he's that kind of talent?

445
00:16:29,804 --> 00:16:30,004
Yeah.

446
00:16:31,445 --> 00:16:32,404
I mean, he's very good.

447
00:16:32,404 --> 00:16:34,404
I've known Max, a long time.

448
00:16:34,404 --> 00:16:36,745
We were on the Korn Ferry tour together for a
while.

449
00:16:37,125 --> 00:16:41,605
He's battled back, from some injuries, and and
he knows what it's like to be at the bottom of

450
00:16:41,605 --> 00:16:42,084
the barrel.

451
00:16:42,084 --> 00:16:46,889
So, the fact that he's he's kinda scraping
scraping the top, you know, he's just he's

452
00:16:46,889 --> 00:16:49,610
getting ready to bust out and and more power to
him.

453
00:16:49,850 --> 00:16:52,809
You know, just just just because I'd love to
see it.

454
00:16:52,809 --> 00:16:55,274
I think he's, he's definitely gonna be able to
win.

455
00:16:55,355 --> 00:16:57,195
I met him when I met you, I think.

456
00:16:57,195 --> 00:16:57,514
Yep.

457
00:16:57,514 --> 00:16:57,835
Yeah.

458
00:16:57,835 --> 00:16:58,335
Yep.

459
00:16:58,555 --> 00:17:01,295
He looks like Timo Rory McElroy.

460
00:17:02,235 --> 00:17:08,394
I think I think Max Razorman is a very solid
golfer, and I think he's due for a win.

461
00:17:08,394 --> 00:17:12,809
I just don't know if he's the breakout talent
that some of these other guys are when they

462
00:17:12,809 --> 00:17:14,089
break through like a Wyndham Clark.

463
00:17:14,089 --> 00:17:14,289
What do

464
00:17:14,289 --> 00:17:15,069
you think, Bautzy?

465
00:17:15,130 --> 00:17:16,250
I think he is, man.

466
00:17:16,250 --> 00:17:16,450
Wow.

467
00:17:16,450 --> 00:17:21,690
I think he's learning how to, play some
extremely efficient golf on the PGA Tour.

468
00:17:21,690 --> 00:17:27,725
And, I think holding that trophy is gonna
change some things to get to t
