Show Transcript
1
00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:14,339
Welcome back, everybody, to Pull Hook Golf, the
podcast.
2
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:15,794
I'm your host, Matt Cook.
3
00:00:15,875 --> 00:00:17,414
Tonight, we got Buttsy.
4
00:00:18,594 --> 00:00:22,214
Let's get him an applause here.
5
00:00:22,675 --> 00:00:24,135
Good googly moogly.
6
00:00:25,554 --> 00:00:27,335
Oh, the people love the Buttsy.
7
00:00:27,474 --> 00:00:31,960
And then we've got Brent Grant, Tour Insider.
8
00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:37,700
Just gotta let that breathe sometimes.
9
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:38,659
You know what I'm saying?
10
00:00:38,659 --> 00:00:42,359
But on tonight's episode, we've got the tee-off
report with Buttsy.
11
00:00:42,545 --> 00:00:44,304
Gonna be getting into some clothing there.
12
00:00:44,304 --> 00:00:51,984
And then we've got some TGL recaps because,
man, TGL has been absolutely fire, and I'll be
13
00:00:51,984 --> 00:00:54,325
talking about all of that.
14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:01,059
Had a full day of it yesterday, had a match
tonight, and, certainly, it is absolutely
15
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:02,399
killing it right now.
16
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:06,000
People, even the ones who are like, oh, this is
crap.
17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:06,959
Technology sucks.
18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,465
Even they're turning around to be like, holy
shit.
19
00:01:09,465 --> 00:01:10,685
This is awesome.
20
00:01:11,145 --> 00:01:11,645
Awesome.
21
00:01:11,865 --> 00:01:13,784
And then we've got some grass league updates.
22
00:01:13,784 --> 00:01:19,225
Our local grass league out here at Grass
Clippings, we've got some updates around that.
23
00:01:19,225 --> 00:01:24,590
We've got the Genesis recap that happened this
past weekend, and then we've got the Mexico
24
00:01:24,969 --> 00:01:26,829
Open at Vidanta World.
25
00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:28,170
That's all one word.
26
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:29,929
Apparently, I'm supposed to pronounce that.
27
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:30,590
Bad.
28
00:01:31,609 --> 00:01:35,229
But we've got a preview there, Buttsy's
beautiful voice.
29
00:01:35,369 --> 00:01:40,775
And then we've got our last topic of the night
that everybody's gonna wanna hang on to.
30
00:01:41,234 --> 00:01:43,015
LIV Golf is on the decline.
31
00:01:44,115 --> 00:01:44,435
No.
32
00:01:44,435 --> 00:01:44,835
Alright.
33
00:01:44,835 --> 00:01:45,814
So No.
34
00:01:46,435 --> 00:01:46,935
No.
35
00:01:47,555 --> 00:01:47,715
No.
36
00:01:47,715 --> 00:01:49,255
Please no.
37
00:01:49,395 --> 00:01:55,060
And you can tell too, by the way, these Twitter
X accounts are absolutely freaking out right
38
00:01:55,060 --> 00:01:58,659
now that they're in they're in a tough spot
right now.
39
00:01:58,659 --> 00:01:58,819
So
40
00:01:59,060 --> 00:02:00,099
Adelaide was sick, though.
41
00:02:00,099 --> 00:02:01,379
Dude, I watched a little bit of that.
42
00:02:01,379 --> 00:02:02,420
That was There you go.
43
00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:05,060
So you're one of the viewers for that that
pumped it up.
44
00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:05,879
That's great.
45
00:02:05,939 --> 00:02:09,694
Now let's start off with a shout-out to our
sponsors.
46
00:02:09,754 --> 00:02:12,574

We're wearing it tonight.
48
00:02:14,235 --> 00:02:17,134
I've got the polo on, Buttsy's got the hat on.
49
00:02:17,354 --> 00:02:20,474
Brent's got the T-shirt on underneath because
it's cold outside.
50
00:02:20,474 --> 00:02:24,689
And, fortunately, we haven't gotten him a
sweater yet from good old Devereux, but we

00:02:24,689 --> 00:02:25,189

57
00:02:46,555 --> 00:02:47,914
By the way, I don't know.
58
00:02:47,914 --> 00:02:49,354
I haven't shown this yet.
59
00:02:49,354 --> 00:02:55,020
I don't know if I should show it quite yet, but
the Blue Label bottle here with the engraving,
60
00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:02,139
Pull Hook Golf on it, very nice gesture to
allude to good old Johnnie Walker account.

Drink responsibly, folks.
63
00:03:07,814 --> 00:03:09,275
Little disclaimer there.
64
00:03:09,415 --> 00:03:09,915
Yes.
65
00:03:10,135 --> 00:03:11,514
Can we see the bottle?
66
00:03:11,974 --> 00:03:13,175
You wanna see the bottle?
67
00:03:13,175 --> 00:03:13,415
Yeah.
68
00:03:13,415 --> 00:03:13,974
I do wanna
69
00:03:13,974 --> 00:03:14,294
see the bottle.
70
00:03:14,294 --> 00:03:14,615
Alright.
71
00:03:14,615 --> 00:03:15,115
Yeah.
72
00:03:15,415 --> 00:03:15,915
Yeah.
73
00:03:16,215 --> 00:03:17,814
I thought let's let's see
74
00:03:17,814 --> 00:03:18,395
the bottle.
75
00:03:19,460 --> 00:03:21,379
Dude, and they
76
00:03:21,939 --> 00:03:23,400
Oh, I hear glasses.
77
00:03:25,459 --> 00:03:27,860
It's their it's their little deal there.
78
00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:30,819
So we've got you guys see that right there?
79
00:03:30,819 --> 00:03:32,580
Pull Hook Golf engraved on that.
80
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:32,979
Yeah.
81
00:03:32,979 --> 00:03:34,500
Johnnie Walker Blue.
82
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:35,735
Go on, Kang.
83
00:03:36,995 --> 00:03:40,194
Oh, the live cult's gonna absolutely lose their
minds over that as well.
84
00:03:40,194 --> 00:03:41,254
Go off, Kang.
85
00:03:41,474 --> 00:03:41,794
Okay.
86
00:03:41,794 --> 00:03:42,034
No.
87
00:03:42,034 --> 00:03:45,415
Like, that's that's that's sick.
88
00:03:47,075 --> 00:03:48,194
That's pretty dope.
89
00:03:48,194 --> 00:03:49,895
That's pretty damn dope.
90
00:03:50,419 --> 00:03:50,739
Yeah.
91
00:03:50,739 --> 00:03:52,039
They're gonna say you bought
92
00:03:52,340 --> 00:03:52,500
it.
93
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:53,400
Well, we did.
94
00:03:53,860 --> 00:03:54,360
Absolutely.
95
00:03:54,419 --> 00:03:54,819
Of course
96
00:03:54,819 --> 00:03:54,979
we did.
97
00:03:54,979 --> 00:03:55,019
Yeah.
98
00:03:55,019 --> 00:03:55,560
We did.
99
00:03:55,620 --> 00:03:56,500
Of course we did.
100
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:56,739
Yeah.
101
00:03:56,739 --> 00:04:00,439
We're spending millions of dollars on making
all of this up.
102
00:04:00,979 --> 00:04:01,219
Yeah.
103
00:04:01,219 --> 00:04:05,784
I mean, this show, we've got a budget of about
how, Buttsy, how much do you put into this show
104
00:04:05,784 --> 00:04:06,585
in terms of
105
00:04:06,585 --> 00:04:07,385
your investment?
106
00:04:07,385 --> 00:04:08,284
I'm out,
107
00:04:11,344 --> 00:04:13,645
lot of lot of lifetime.
108
00:04:13,784 --> 00:04:15,325
I've been investing my time.
109
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:17,110
That's exactly right.
110
00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:20,330
But Buttsy is, by far our biggest investor.
111
00:04:20,790 --> 00:04:25,830
So he definitely, spending a lot of time doing
this.
112
00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:32,715
Now as we get into it, let's move into the good
old tee-off report with our biggest investor,
113
00:04:32,715 --> 00:04:33,215
Buttsy.
114
00:04:33,754 --> 00:04:39,855
And, Buttsy, my question for you tonight, why
do women get to wear cutoff shorts or shirts
115
00:04:39,995 --> 00:04:40,975
and men don't?
116
00:04:41,435 --> 00:04:43,215
Not real fucking sure, Matt.
117
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:45,800
Yeah.
118
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,240
That's a good question, actually.
119
00:04:47,479 --> 00:04:54,360
In the spirit of diversity, I think we should
all be able to wear a cutoff shirt, but it it
120
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,800
should actually be the other way.
121
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,199
Right?
122
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:59,944
Like, women's arms are not as big as men's
arms, typically.
123
00:05:02,164 --> 00:05:06,964
Now maybe I wanna backtrack on that because,
like, 60% of the PGA Tour today that they look
124
00:05:06,964 --> 00:05:11,784
like fucking jockeys or, like, toddler
mannequins.
125
00:05:12,164 --> 00:05:14,870
So, yeah, maybe that's not true.
126
00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:17,829
Maybe most of those chicks are actually a
little beefier than some of the guys that are
127
00:05:17,829 --> 00:05:18,949
swinging golf clubs out there.
128
00:05:18,949 --> 00:05:22,870
But, yeah, I think I think that the cutoff golf
shirt should definitely be a thing.
129
00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:28,009
I can't believe nobody's done it yet,
especially living in Arizona, and I would love
130
00:05:29,264 --> 00:05:30,384
to pioneer that.
131
00:05:30,384 --> 00:05:33,345
I think it's ridiculous that men can't wear a
cutoff golf shirt.
132
00:05:33,345 --> 00:05:36,865
I mean, we should already be wearing shorts on
the PGA Tour too, but that goes without saying,
133
00:05:36,865 --> 00:05:38,144
you know, I'll I'll live.
134
00:05:38,144 --> 00:05:39,845
We should be wearing cutoffs too.
135
00:05:39,985 --> 00:05:40,705
Let's just fuck it.
136
00:05:40,705 --> 00:05:41,185
Like, fuck it.
137
00:05:41,185 --> 00:05:45,050
Let's just fucking braid our pit hair and wear
it proud.
138
00:05:45,050 --> 00:05:47,629
Maybe throw some sponsor logos tied up in
there.
139
00:05:48,410 --> 00:05:49,230
I don't know.
140
00:05:49,769 --> 00:05:50,670
There it is.
141
00:05:50,970 --> 00:05:52,970
I mean, that's phenomenal stuff out of you.
142
00:05:53,129 --> 00:05:55,769
We can't wear cutoff shirts at the golf course,
and
143
00:05:56,009 --> 00:05:58,754
Why does the cutoff polo not exist for men?
144
00:05:58,754 --> 00:05:58,915
They've
145
00:05:58,915 --> 00:06:00,134
actually the sleeveless.
146
00:06:00,274 --> 00:06:00,774
Right?
147
00:06:00,915 --> 00:06:01,415
Yeah.
148
00:06:02,435 --> 00:06:04,115
Now I get where you're heading with it.
149
00:06:04,115 --> 00:06:04,935
That's fantastic.
150
00:06:05,154 --> 00:06:05,654
Sleeveless.
151
00:06:06,115 --> 00:06:08,055
A good old tank top with a collar?
152
00:06:08,355 --> 00:06:08,754
Yeah.
153
00:06:08,754 --> 00:06:10,055
Sleeveless in Seattle.
154
00:06:11,795 --> 00:06:12,810
I'd vote for that.
155
00:06:13,129 --> 00:06:13,629
Absolutely.
156
00:06:13,930 --> 00:06:14,750
All day.
157
00:06:14,970 --> 00:06:15,870
That's phenomenal.
158
00:06:16,649 --> 00:06:17,050
Thanks.
159
00:06:17,050 --> 00:06:17,209
So
160
00:06:17,209 --> 00:06:19,709
let's oh, is there more?
161
00:06:21,769 --> 00:06:22,269
What?
162
00:06:22,329 --> 00:06:23,129
Is there more?
163
00:06:23,129 --> 00:06:24,350
I thought you had more.
164
00:06:24,810 --> 00:06:25,129
No.
165
00:06:25,129 --> 00:06:25,449
Fuck.
166
00:06:25,449 --> 00:06:25,930
That's it.
167
00:06:25,930 --> 00:06:26,430
More.
168
00:06:26,904 --> 00:06:27,144
Yeah.
169
00:06:27,144 --> 00:06:28,104
That's all I got.
170
00:06:28,104 --> 00:06:28,504
Tired.
171
00:06:28,504 --> 00:06:29,245
That's fantastic.
172
00:06:29,464 --> 00:06:31,404
So let's get into the TGL recaps.
173
00:06:32,185 --> 00:06:37,064
This one, I will go ahead and just run us
through because over Presidents' Day yesterday,
174
00:06:37,064 --> 00:06:39,270
we had three matches go on.
175
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:44,009
So we've got the Bay Club versus Boston Common
Golf.
176
00:06:44,470 --> 00:06:45,910
These were great matches, by the way.
177
00:06:45,910 --> 00:06:48,089
So Bay Club ended up winning five to four.
178
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:53,974
We've got Atlanta Drive going up against the
Bay Club in the doubleheader, for the Bay Club
179
00:06:53,974 --> 00:06:54,454
that is.
180
00:06:54,454 --> 00:06:57,754
And sure enough, Bay Club wins again six to
five.
181
00:06:57,894 --> 00:07:04,375
They are number one in the league in the
standings in just about every statistical form
182
00:07:04,375 --> 00:07:06,259
you have through the TGL.
183
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:12,800
And then we've got Atlanta Drive versus LAGC,
and that one came down to the very end, and
184
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,379
Atlanta Drive ended up winning six to five.
185
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:20,639
Tonight, we had Tiger coming back into the
arena for the first time since his mother's
186
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:24,295
passing, and that was the last time that she
had seen Tiger play golf.
187
00:07:24,295 --> 00:07:30,375
So you had a pretty emotional Tiger there, and
he actually had a little interview with Scott
188
00:07:30,375 --> 00:07:33,435
Van Pelt beforehand where he was kinda tearing
up and everything.
189
00:07:33,735 --> 00:07:38,939
And sure enough, it was not what Tiger wanted
tonight.
190
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,959
We did not see Tiger's best, which is probably
respectable in terms of everything that's going
191
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:47,000
on with him and all the emotions that were
going on.
192
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,985
Kevin Kisner really struggled as well.
193
00:07:49,985 --> 00:07:55,985
And then Tom Kim was the only bright spot for
good old Jupiter Golf Links.
194
00:07:55,985 --> 00:07:59,425
And then you had New York Golf Club finally
show up, gentlemen.
195
00:07:59,425 --> 00:08:06,970
So the stiffest team on the entire roster, New
York Golf Club, ends up winning 10 to three,
196
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:08,089
and they look good.
197
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:13,430
But the one thing that I told everybody in
advance is that these guys are gonna figure out
198
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:14,889
the nuances to this technology.
199
00:08:15,725 --> 00:08:20,144
These guys are going to be able to start to
play better golf.
200
00:08:20,285 --> 00:08:21,644
Matches are gonna get closer.
201
00:08:21,644 --> 00:08:25,084
We're gonna see better golf overall.
202
00:08:25,084 --> 00:08:25,324
Yeah.
203
00:08:25,324 --> 00:08:26,944
And that's exactly what we've seen.
204
00:08:33,129 --> 00:08:35,610
Who was who was the what ist team?
205
00:08:35,610 --> 00:08:36,590
What what team?
206
00:08:37,129 --> 00:08:37,690
I don't know.
207
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:38,350
Club.
208
00:08:38,570 --> 00:08:38,889
Okay.
209
00:08:38,889 --> 00:08:39,790
Have you noticed?
210
00:08:41,254 --> 00:08:46,695
And I think they're avoiding this on purpose,
but they have not loaded up the Hero World
211
00:08:46,695 --> 00:08:52,054
Challenge Golf Course digitally for the TGL to
compete on.
212
00:08:52,054 --> 00:08:52,955
And I think
213
00:08:53,254 --> 00:08:54,634
They're not ready for it.
214
00:08:54,909 --> 00:08:55,069
No.
215
00:08:55,069 --> 00:08:55,230
No.
216
00:08:55,230 --> 00:08:56,529
That's for a reason.
217
00:08:56,590 --> 00:09:00,450
It rivals everything that they're doing on
there, and they know it.
218
00:09:01,629 --> 00:09:03,950
And I know they have the rights to it.
219
00:09:03,950 --> 00:09:07,090
They could easily digitize that golf course.
220
00:09:07,735 --> 00:09:13,674
And it's so hard that not even Tiger and the
TGL want to take it on a screen.
221
00:09:15,095 --> 00:09:16,315
I mean, it's too daunting.
222
00:09:16,535 --> 00:09:17,174
I mean, it's the
223
00:09:17,174 --> 00:09:18,054
Hero World Challenge.
224
00:09:18,054 --> 00:09:20,375
I mean, Albany, that golf course is
225
00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:22,149
Said it last week.
226
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:22,730
Difficult.
227
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:26,389
If it was only in the United States, Buttsy, we
would see it there at a U.S.
228
00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:27,389
Open every year.
229
00:09:27,389 --> 00:09:32,790
We'd play every major there probably forever
because there's not a place on Earth, at least,
230
00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:34,730
that rivals it in terms of difficulty.
231
00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:38,845
So we can go through this every week if we want
to, but
232
00:09:39,084 --> 00:09:40,544
We have every week.
233
00:09:41,004 --> 00:09:42,065
I mean, maybe.
234
00:09:42,684 --> 00:09:43,404
Maybe we have.
235
00:09:43,404 --> 00:09:48,524
Really, I think ever since the Hero World
Challenge came to a conclusion, we have been
236
00:09:48,524 --> 00:09:50,445
talking about the Hero World Challenge.
237
00:09:50,605 --> 00:09:50,845
Yeah.
238
00:09:50,924 --> 00:09:55,139
Every single week because Buttsy does love
himself some Hero World Challenge.
239
00:09:55,139 --> 00:10:00,259
It's it seems like a love-hate relationship for
Buttsy because he loves the fact that yeah.
240
00:10:00,259 --> 00:10:01,800
It's such a weird thing.
241
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:02,420
Yeah.
242
00:10:02,420 --> 00:10:06,475
I just want the chance to go out there and play
and maybe break 500, you know?
243
00:10:06,475 --> 00:10:07,434
Oh, well, no.
244
00:10:07,434 --> 00:10:11,534
I mean, they wouldn't even let you play because
you'd break the course record by at least five.
245
00:10:11,595 --> 00:10:13,054
That's exactly right.
246
00:10:13,195 --> 00:10:15,434
Anyways, I hate to keep bringing it up, but
it's just something.
247
00:10:15,514 --> 00:10:15,674
Did you
248
00:10:15,674 --> 00:10:17,674
guys see Buttsy's swing a couple nights ago?
249
00:10:17,674 --> 00:10:18,414
Good lord.
250
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:18,639
Yeah.
251
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:19,679
I mean, we're real slow.
252
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:21,059
Swing of all time.
253
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:27,919
I mean, unreal, that man in a lefty stance,
just the hands for a big guy like you.
254
00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:28,159
Yeah.
255
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:28,980
Just unbelievable.
256
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:30,879
It is.
257
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:31,440
Yes.
258
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:34,394
Oh, I've been doing some stem cell training and
stuff.
259
00:10:35,514 --> 00:10:35,675
So
260
00:10:36,075 --> 00:10:37,535
Peptides, baby, peptides.
261
00:10:37,595 --> 00:10:38,075
Now, yeah.
262
00:10:38,154 --> 00:10:41,754
Brian Shane says, has the trade window opened
up for TGL yet?
263
00:10:41,754 --> 00:10:41,915
Yeah.
264
00:10:41,915 --> 00:10:44,634
Well, we don't have a trade window as of yet.
265
00:10:45,754 --> 00:10:50,279
I would love to see some of the improvements
and changes going with the TGL.
266
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:51,799
But, man, I will say this.
267
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:57,559
I was wrong about the alternate shot because it
was actually a lot of fun yesterday watching
268
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,980
three matches in a row and seeing the guys
playing well.
269
00:11:00,264 --> 00:11:01,404
That was the big difference.
270
00:11:01,625 --> 00:11:05,865
Once you see these guys start to figure out the
technology and stuff, and you can hear them.
271
00:11:05,865 --> 00:11:06,985
They're talking about it too.
272
00:11:06,985 --> 00:11:09,704
They're like, hey, gotta go a little bit
further left than that.
273
00:11:09,704 --> 00:11:14,950
And then Justin Thomas is sitting there going,
man, I just can't get through it to the left
274
00:11:14,950 --> 00:11:16,950
side in order like, in a golf simulator.
275
00:11:16,950 --> 00:11:20,009
And he's talking about this with his teammates
and everything.
276
00:11:20,070 --> 00:11:25,269
And it's just it's a cool experience, and I
think everybody now has had enough practice
277
00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:26,809
time, yeah, on the technology.
278
00:11:27,284 --> 00:11:29,204
And it's just it's absolutely killing it.
279
00:11:29,204 --> 00:11:34,725
And it shows that people have a real interest
in team golf in the right environment.
280
00:11:34,725 --> 00:11:36,324
And I think absolutely.
281
00:11:36,404 --> 00:11:41,225
I would love to see something outside as well,
that is actually team match play.
282
00:11:42,269 --> 00:11:45,149
But we shall, we shall see because guess what?
283
00:11:45,149 --> 00:11:48,210
Grass League is we're talking about team golf.
284
00:11:48,429 --> 00:11:51,570
The Grass League has qualifiers coming up, by
the way, folks.
285
00:11:51,629 --> 00:11:52,450
April 30.
286
00:11:52,669 --> 00:11:59,085
So it's $1,200 for a two-man team, and this
will make you, if you get into the top portion
287
00:11:59,085 --> 00:12:03,745
or whatever it is, you will end up being
eligible for the draft.
288
00:12:04,125 --> 00:12:07,825
So there are several franchises throughout the
country.
289
00:12:08,870 --> 00:12:13,289
Obviously, it's happening at Grass Clippings
here in Phoenix, Arizona under the lights.
290
00:12:13,669 --> 00:12:15,830
But, man, this league, high stakes, baby.
291
00:12:15,830 --> 00:12:16,649
High stakes.
292
00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:25,115
Been talking with our guy Todd, and, sure
enough, he has reiterated how much is at stake
293
00:12:25,254 --> 00:12:25,995
for everybody.
294
00:12:26,375 --> 00:12:28,235
There's a lot of stakes out there.
295
00:12:28,774 --> 00:12:31,514
But did you happen to play a round of golf
Sunday?
296
00:12:31,894 --> 00:12:35,355
We did not play Sunday evening.
297
00:12:35,975 --> 00:12:38,639
That has been postponed.
298
00:12:40,059 --> 00:12:45,340
So that's why I put up some simulator vids and
tagged those guys just so they could see my
299
00:12:45,340 --> 00:12:45,840
stuff.
300
00:12:46,220 --> 00:12:46,720
Absolutely.
301
00:12:47,259 --> 00:12:48,160
I said, hey.
302
00:12:48,620 --> 00:12:54,725
Don't miss the boat on talent, and I don't
think they're gonna miss the boat.
303
00:12:54,725 --> 00:12:55,925
They got life jackets on.
304
00:12:55,925 --> 00:12:56,804
We're ready to roll.
305
00:12:56,804 --> 00:12:57,845
The motor started.
306
00:12:57,845 --> 00:12:59,465
So maybe later this week.
307
00:13:00,485 --> 00:13:01,384
That is awesome.
308
00:13:01,605 --> 00:13:07,690
You know, we are always willing to help out
with the grass league.
309
00:13:07,690 --> 00:13:08,970
I let those guys know.
310
00:13:08,970 --> 00:13:09,870
I'm like, hey.
311
00:13:09,929 --> 00:13:16,250
If you need us to come in there and pack it
around a little bit, we will certainly do our
312
00:13:16,250 --> 00:13:17,769
part out there.
313
00:13:17,769 --> 00:13:17,850
So
314
00:13:18,455 --> 00:13:18,955
Yep.
315
00:13:19,254 --> 00:13:23,654
That's, that is an ongoing conversation, but
anti-live says there needs to be a champions
316
00:13:23,654 --> 00:13:27,195
league team on the TGL captained by Bernhard
Langer.
317
00:13:27,495 --> 00:13:28,634
Right, try golfer?
318
00:13:28,774 --> 00:13:36,120
I wonder if they'd call the anchor if Bernhard
was out there on the TGL circuit or even on the
319
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,799
grass league circuit because the one thing I
did realize about the grass league, which is
320
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:48,134
pretty cool, is that because it's a par-three
course, you can have a women's team out there.
321
00:13:48,674 --> 00:13:52,695
You can have a senior team out there and
compete.
322
00:13:53,475 --> 00:13:59,059
Some people today from our audience on Twitter
were talking about, you know, we'd love to see
323
00:13:59,059 --> 00:14:01,639
a women's team out there for the TGL.
324
00:14:02,019 --> 00:14:07,000
But what about for the Grass League having an
all-female team out there?
325
00:14:07,059 --> 00:14:08,600
I don't hate that at all.
326
00:14:09,779 --> 00:14:12,014
I mean, it would be the first time we'd see it.
327
00:14:12,095 --> 00:14:19,795
There's some talent, both in golf and other
ways out there here in, you know, in Scottsdale
328
00:14:19,855 --> 00:14:20,735
and in that area.
329
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:28,320
And I think they would definitely be able to
use the depth of golf talent in the YouTube and
330
00:14:29,179 --> 00:14:33,500
Instagram influencer world to be able to put
together a pretty solid team.
331
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:35,259
We should have bovine out there.
332
00:14:35,259 --> 00:14:39,440
Like, we should have maybe even, like, some
animals and stuff participating.
333
00:14:40,384 --> 00:14:40,465
Yeah.
334
00:14:40,465 --> 00:14:40,945
I agree.
335
00:14:40,945 --> 00:14:42,865
Well, I know some squirrels that can really
hack it.
336
00:14:42,865 --> 00:14:44,565
Not like a squirrel and a chicken.
337
00:14:44,865 --> 00:14:45,105
Yeah.
338
00:14:45,105 --> 00:14:45,605
Exactly.
339
00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:47,825
Maybe that pig from Charlotte's Web.
340
00:14:47,825 --> 00:14:49,284
He's pretty smart.
341
00:14:49,904 --> 00:14:50,304
I hope.
342
00:14:50,304 --> 00:14:51,524
And don't forget Donkey.
343
00:14:51,745 --> 00:14:52,965
Donkey's pretty good.
344
00:14:54,190 --> 00:14:54,690
Sorry.
345
00:14:56,190 --> 00:14:57,070
Carry on.
346
00:14:57,070 --> 00:15:01,470
Brian Shane says, an all AimPoint team.
347
00:15:01,470 --> 00:15:02,370
There you go.
348
00:15:02,429 --> 00:15:06,850
Oh, we had a nice little conversation about
that on the back of the range at TPC.
349
00:15:07,535 --> 00:15:08,495
Tell us about it, Brent.
350
00:15:08,495 --> 00:15:10,975
Why don't you tell us a little bit about the
Aimpoint?
351
00:15:10,975 --> 00:15:17,295
Because that has been a big discussion with, I
believe it was Lucas Glover that brought up the
352
00:15:17,295 --> 00:15:22,529
Aimpoint and how, you know, it's kinda rude for
people to be stepping in people's lines all
353
00:15:22,529 --> 00:15:23,509
around the green.
354
00:15:23,649 --> 00:15:30,129
And sure enough, you've got some intel here
because Collin Morikawa came right back at him
355
00:15:30,129 --> 00:15:33,990
and goes, hey, if we're gonna ban Aimpoint, we
should be banning long putters.
356
00:15:34,384 --> 00:15:34,544
Yeah.
357
00:15:34,544 --> 00:15:42,465
I mean, his point was that it slows down play,
and that's a definite thing.
358
00:15:42,465 --> 00:15:43,845
You know, it's a fact.
359
00:15:44,065 --> 00:15:48,990
And it wasn't like he went out there and said,
hey, you know, player A, B, C, whatever, you
360
00:15:48,990 --> 00:15:50,590
all need to stop doing Aimpoint.
361
00:15:50,590 --> 00:15:55,149
So the fact that Collin kinda got his panties
in a wad and was like, well, you need to stop
362
00:15:55,149 --> 00:15:58,129
using that long putter, it's like that has
nothing to do with the conversation.
363
00:15:58,350 --> 00:16:04,029
So, clearly he took it personally because he
knows deep down inside there is a problem with
364
00:16:04,029 --> 00:16:05,065
Aimpoint.
365
00:16:05,065 --> 00:16:09,544
And the rest of us, you know, those that
actually read greens with our eyes the correct
366
00:16:09,544 --> 00:16:16,664
way, the artists, if you will, all know that
Aimpoint is, and, you know, I think it should
367
00:16:16,664 --> 00:16:18,049
be banned, honestly.
368
00:16:18,350 --> 00:16:20,509
Because it is slow, and it is absolute
horseshit.
369
00:16:20,509 --> 00:16:20,750
I have
370
00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:21,250
a
371
00:16:21,470 --> 00:16:24,129
I have a theory on this, the slow play thing.
372
00:16:24,590 --> 00:16:30,524
And I really think if you take away the
Aimpoint, I think some players just have a
373
00:16:30,524 --> 00:16:32,445
cadence that is just fucking slow.
374
00:16:32,445 --> 00:16:36,625
Like, if you take away the Aimpoint and you
take away that aspect of their slowness,
375
00:16:36,845 --> 00:16:39,565
they're gonna make up for it, like, somewhere
else in the hole.
376
00:16:39,565 --> 00:16:40,524
You know what I mean?
377
00:16:40,524 --> 00:16:42,625
Like, they're gonna take longer standing behind
this.
378
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,879
There's just an amount of time that has to
occur to these guys to, like, functionally pull
379
00:16:46,879 --> 00:16:47,360
the trigger.
380
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:47,839
I don't know.
381
00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:50,000
I just think they're gonna be slow no matter
what.
382
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,019
They'll find a way to pick it back up somewhere
else.
383
00:16:55,454 --> 00:16:55,954
Yeah.
384
00:16:56,014 --> 00:16:56,514
Beautiful.
385
00:16:56,574 --> 00:16:57,315
Great analysis.
386
00:16:57,694 --> 00:16:58,894
I love it from both of you.
387
00:16:58,894 --> 00:16:59,214
Right?
388
00:16:59,214 --> 00:17:04,755
Because I've done Aimpoint and because
sometimes I have a tough time reading greens.
389
00:17:05,054 --> 00:17:06,835
I'll read greens with my feet.
390
00:17:07,349 --> 00:17:11,829
I feel like it can work, but I think it's also
partially delusional to where you're like, oh,
391
00:17:11,829 --> 00:17:13,190
this is one degree slope.
392
00:17:13,190 --> 00:17:14,630
I don't know how people do that.
393
00:17:14,630 --> 00:17:19,109
One degree, two degree, three degrees of slope,
and then sticking their fingers up there like
394
00:17:19,109 --> 00:17:20,730
they're doing something too.
395
00:17:20,904 --> 00:17:21,144
I mean
396
00:17:21,865 --> 00:17:22,105
Yeah.
397
00:17:22,105 --> 00:17:22,984
I mean, if you
398
00:17:23,144 --> 00:17:27,305
Pull out the stimpmeter and you watch it week
in, week out, even on the best greens that
399
00:17:27,305 --> 00:17:28,025
those guys play on.
400
00:17:28,105 --> 00:17:29,065
Brent, you know this.
401
00:17:29,065 --> 00:17:34,440
If you fucking pull out a stimpmeter and you
drop the ball and you drop 10 balls, there's no
402
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,799
such thing as a perfect putt.
403
00:17:35,799 --> 00:17:37,339
Nothing is exactly consistent.
404
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,179
Nothing moves the same way exactly.
405
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,720
So to try to put, like, an exact science on how
a putt's gonna break, I mean, I think you can
406
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,480
get close, but you just have to feel the
fucking ball at some point.
407
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:47,880
Right?
408
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,634
Like, it just is what it is.
409
00:17:49,795 --> 00:17:53,634
It's not gonna be the same if you roll it the
same again, and we've all hit putts that we
410
00:17:53,634 --> 00:17:55,154
thought we missed that went in the hole.
411
00:17:55,154 --> 00:17:56,855
Like, I don't know.
412
00:17:56,994 --> 00:17:57,154
Yeah.
413
00:17:57,154 --> 00:17:57,394
No.
414
00:17:57,394 --> 00:17:58,355
You're you're exactly right.
415
00:17:58,355 --> 00:18:01,714
And I think, actually, the worst part about it
I mean, the slow play, again, is pretty
416
00:18:01,714 --> 00:18:02,035
obvious.
417
00:18:02,035 --> 00:18:05,919
I think everybody can agree that it's
ridiculous, but they they had to make a rule
418
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:11,599
that you couldn't take a level out on the
greens on the course, but you could use it on
419
00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:12,399
the practice green.
420
00:18:12,399 --> 00:18:17,039
Now, you know, what essentially, what you see
is you go out there on the practice green and
421
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:25,464
you literally see numbers and lines on the
practice green and you're like, well, okay, so
422
00:18:25,464 --> 00:18:29,444
they're out there literally measuring and
they're practicing and it's just this constant
423
00:18:29,744 --> 00:18:29,984
thing.
424
00:18:29,984 --> 00:18:35,490
And then you get out there and you play behind
somebody like, who wears metal spikes.
425
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:37,250
And you can see Oh, he's got
426
00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:38,069
the metal spikes?
427
00:18:38,210 --> 00:18:38,450
You can
428
00:18:38,450 --> 00:18:42,769
literally see him walk basically the whole line
all the way up to his putt.
429
00:18:42,769 --> 00:18:46,230
So, I mean, he's taking, you know, hundreds of
steps per green.
430
00:18:46,289 --> 00:18:50,654
And it's just this is fucking bullshit, and
it's terrible to play behind him or with him
431
00:18:50,654 --> 00:18:51,474
for that matter.
432
00:18:51,775 --> 00:18:54,195
Does he still rock the metal cleats on the
tour?
433
00:18:54,255 --> 00:18:54,855
Oh, thank God.
434
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:55,934
Scoring through?
435
00:18:55,934 --> 00:18:56,335
Wow.
436
00:18:56,335 --> 00:19:00,974
I I never see, that's one of the things you
can't really ever tell on TV, I feel like, is
437
00:19:00,974 --> 00:19:03,474
what guys are wearing metal spikes versus just
traditional.
438
00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:08,109
And then you got Tony Finau wearing basically
no spikes at all with the Jordan.
439
00:19:08,109 --> 00:19:09,109
Oh, he wears tennis shoes.
440
00:19:09,109 --> 00:19:09,429
Yeah.
441
00:19:09,429 --> 00:19:10,149
He's gonna do
