We 7 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.880 don't need no meals. We don't need no cats. We need more dogs. 8 00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:43.880 They are not a detainer. Ah, you're not that detained. We 9 00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.399 weren't good. There's no sense of asking me things about the game. I'm 10 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.840 telling you. We laid an egg. So I'm not gonna break it down 11 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.920 for you. He sucks. He sucked, but we laid an egg. 12 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.719 That's all I have to say. Guys, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna 13 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.920 break it down for you. Nothing went well for us. It's on us. 14 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.200 We have to figure it out.

Tigers, in case you missed it, lose last 29 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:14.639 night to Washington five to four in ten innings. Tonight they get Game two 30 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.400 of that three game series. Ries Olsen takes the bumper to try to be 31 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:23.680 Casey Mace tomorrow for the Tigers, who are now two games under the break 32 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:29.599 even you've got NBA Finals tonight, Game three, it's Dallas trying to get 33 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.400 on the board against the Celtics, Boston up two games to none, and 34 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:39.039 the Meyer Classic, the tenth annual Meyer Classic, starts tomorrow. We were 35 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.319 fortunate enough earlier today to talk with Brittany Lang. Really enjoyed that conversation. 36 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.800 We will have more coming up in the eight o'clock hour. Just before the 37 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:53.840 break, somebody had mentioned via text about the Tigers or the Tigers the Lions 38 00:02:53.520 --> 00:03:00.879 third wide receiver role, and I said, you could make the argument that 39 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:06.680 they are among the best trio in football. That might be a little extreme. 40 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.240 I guess it depends on where your line of among the best. I 41 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:15.759 don't think they're a top ten Is it the weakest part of their entire team? 42 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:22.159 That's debatable with their secondary because I haven't their secondary has not been proven 43 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:28.479 yet. I think aman Ross Saint Brown is among the best in football. 44 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:34.039 Jamison Williams has a lot to prove this year. Khalif Raymond, Donovan Peoples, 45 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.719 Jones, whoever the number three wide receiver is will soon find out, 46 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.240 you know, I mean, they've got plenty of guys who are going to 47 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:45.159 be in camp. I don't think Antoine Green is going to win a spot. 48 00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.719 I don't think derse Fountain is going to win a spot. I doubt 49 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:53.639 Tom Kennedy is going to win a spot. It doesn't strengthen the cause there, 50 00:03:53.719 --> 00:04:00.639 does it. But if you look at other teams, the weakest part, 51 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.719 the weakest link of their wide receiver corps would be the number three guy. 52 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.840 I mean, Dallas Seedee, Lamb Brandon Cooks. You like them both, 53 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.919 right, Jalen Tolbert. How much of a strength is that? Cooper 54 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:24.160 Cup and Puka Nakua love them two? Two at well? Okay? Yeah? 55 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.279 He he nearly doubled his career receiving yards, nearly doubled his career receiving 56 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:39.879 touchdowns. Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison. You bet their number three is what 57 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:46.839 Trent Sherfield because kJ Osborne's gone right, didn't he go to New England? 58 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:56.879 Seattle's is as good as it gets. Detroit doesn't come close to a DK 59 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.160 Metcalf, Tyler Lockett or a Jackson Smith and Jigga. Those three guys are 60 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:12.839 ballers. What about Philadelphia? AJ Brown, Deavonte Smith Devonte Parker. Lions 61 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:19.240 aren't touching that. I mentioned San Francisco, Brandon Ayuk, Juwan Jennings, 62 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:28.680 Deebo Samuel Deebo. Samuel's that wide receiver running back type thing. I'll tell 63 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:35.319 you he's got a good one. Cincinnati see a lot of it starts with 64 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.439 the one you got Jamar Chase. Of course you're gonna be in the conversation. 65 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.759 Then you go to t Higgins. T Higgins is really good, and 66 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.920 Trenton Irwin is a solid player. He's not gonna throw up huge numbers, 67 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:57.759 but he's a solid player. Miami's better than Detroit, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen 68 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:04.839 Waddle, Odell Beckham, Chicago's better. You would admit that, wouldn't you. 69 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:11.560 Two teams in the division have better have a better receiving cores than the 70 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:17.160 Lions. I would say the Lions are middle of the pack. I misspoke 71 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.480 earlier in saying that it's, you know, among the best and for all, 72 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:26.120 it's not. We think Jamison Williams. This is me. This is 73 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.720 exactly I get caught. This is why I say this all the time. 74 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.199 It happens to me too. I get caught thinking of the in moment for 75 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.920 our team. So I look at Jamison Williams and I think, man, 76 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:40.399 the dude's got talent. It's got great speed, he could extend the defenses, 77 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.759 downfield, threat, so on and so forth. He's got to be 78 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.519 No, he hasn't proven it. One guy has proven it. I'm on 79 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:56.959 Ross Saint Brown. That's it. The more we talk this through, the 80 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:01.519 more you realize the Texter has an X one point. How comfortable are you 81 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.920 with Khalif Raymond down to People's jones as your number three? Great point by 82 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:12.160 the Texter. So what I love about this show it forces you to think 83 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.879 a little bit further along. You got to talk it out a little bit. 84 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:21.240 Look at Chicago's wide receiving Corps. Could you say they're the best with 85 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:30.399 DJ Moore in uh Keenan Allen and Roma Dunzey. We don't know, because 86 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.600 Dundee is an unproven player. What if he turned out? What if his 87 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:40.879 first year is ends up like Jamison Williams. Probably not gonna happen, But 88 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.639 I'm just saying. I mean that that's a possibility. We don't know, 89 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:50.920 but on paper pretty damn good. I would say that's probably, at least 90 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.399 on paper number one. When You've got DJ Moore and Keenan Allen has proven 91 00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:01.680 proven guys. Miami's in that conversation, as I mentioned with Hill and Waddle 92 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:09.839 and Beckham, anybody else we're missing Houston. Houston's got Stefan Diggs. Now 93 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:16.199 with Nico Collins who had the big contract. Who's there? Three? They're 94 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:24.759 three Tank Dell. That's who it is. It's seven receiving touchdowns a year 95 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:30.680 ago through the first thirteen games of the year, So pretty damn good. 96 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:37.200 So Cincinnati's in there. As I mentioned San Francisco, I mentioned Philly, 97 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.039 Detroit and not even close to any of those teams. We got another text, 98 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.720 don't we Ben Yeah says if Memphis is ready to move on from Irant 99 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:52.559 me personally, I'm calling them with Duran and Ivy swapped the first round pick 100 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.200 and players to match salaries to pair with Caide, then draft the Connecticut center. 101 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:03.759 Are you making that trade? Yeah? He's a star. I am, 102 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.200 I'm making that. I don't think that's possible. Why would they move 103 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.039 on? I don't know. I don't think they would. But yes, 104 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.039 you get a chance to bring in a guy that talented. Now, is 105 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:24.080 there baggage for sure, But you're giving up Duran and you're giving up Ivy, 106 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:30.200 and you're switching first round picks. Absolutely, the only issue there is 107 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.200 I don't know if you would have the opportunity to draft the person you want. 108 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.399 When we come back, Carol Lutz, who is the communications in pier 109 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.120 director at Meyer, she'll talk about the annual Meyer Classic that begins tomorrow. 110 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.759 She's going to join us on the other side here on Exis and Bros. 111 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:54.279 After this in with Dan Dickerson.

The last time a Tiger's starting pitcher started the All Star Game eleven 117 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.720 years ago when Max Scherzer did it well, Trek Scoobl is making a strong 118 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.679 case to get the start this year. Scoobl turned into another superb performance on 119 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.440 Sunday, and while some other starters are having good years, no one can 120 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.320 quite match Schoobl's level of dominance. It's elite, straight through and with a 121 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.120 power arm, lots of swing and miss and little damage to thirteen start school 122 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.159 has a one ninety two ERA. It's the lowest by a Tiger starter and 123 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.279 thirteen starts in since nineteen forty five, he's allowed two and runs with fewer. 124 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.919 Eleven times he had one O two on the gun the other day. 125 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:41.519 A few more starts like this, he'll be taking them out a month from 126 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:48.159 now.

Yeah, first of all, 145 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.120 thanks for having me on this morning. Yeah, this is something that we 146 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.799 plan, you know pretty much. You know, we kind of start really 147 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.759 in around January really that first of the year, so we kind of start 148 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.759 having those conversations of all the logistics that come together, whether it's all of 149 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:07.279 the activities planned media, sponsors, community partners as well. You know, 150 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.840 it all starts kind of coming together, you know, well before this week 151 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.399 in June, so you know, we're really excited to see it. I'll 152 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.320 kind of come together a get It's our tenth years, so you know a 153 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.639 lot has has evolved and changed and it's just something we're really proud of to 154 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:26.399 see the growth and the excitement and uh yeah, we're we're really excited for 155 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.039 another great year and it's going to be, you know, an outstanding weekend 156 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:35.240 for sure, to celebrate together the community. What's been the biggest change over 157 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.320 the ten year span of this event. I would just say the community, 158 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.159 the community involvement. We have had more community partners than ever before, more 159 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.320 volunteers than ever before, and I think just the growth of you know, 160 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.600 whether it's from the span of players that we've that are working with us, 161 00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:01.000 but also really the space that we've provided for our spectators. Our elevated food 162 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:07.480 experience Jane Brewers and Fredericks is five thousand square feet larger this year, which 163 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.440 is really exciting to see, as well as our Discovery Land Kids area that 164 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.200 is larger as well. So, you know, just the magnitude of the 165 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:20.000 growth we've seen, you know, outdone you know, previous years. So 166 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.679 that's what's really exciting to see is just the continued momentum and we just keep 167 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.799 seeing an increase in numbers across the board, which is really great to see. 168 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.360 Carol Let's joining us here on ex'es and Bros. She handles the communications 169 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.360 in the media for Meyer and the Tathaniel Meyer Classic that is starting tomorrow. 170 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.919 We have Brittany Lang, one of the competitors in your tournament, on earlier 171 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:50.080 today and one of the things she really loved most is about simply Give and 172 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:56.480 how the tournament stands for and gives back to the community in such a way. 173 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:03.440 How impactful has this tournament been for simply give? Can you put some 174 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.240 numbers to it to help our audience with that a little bit? Yeah. 175 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:13.879 Absolutely. Our Simply Give Hunger relief program at Meyer has been around since two 176 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.919 thousand and eight, so for the past sixteen years, this program has been 177 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:24.759 alive and well and it's just a wonderful opportunity for our customers to support local 178 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:30.200 food pantries in need. And then when we started the Myer LPGA Classic in 179 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:35.679 twenty fourteen, we have continued to focus as well on the Simply Gift program, 180 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:41.080 and so since twenty fourteen, the tournament alone has generated over ten million 181 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.799 dollars to Simply Give. So it's something that we are again extremely proud of 182 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:52.000 and know that those dollars go directly to food pantries across the Midwest to help 183 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.480 feed hungry families in need. Yeah, it's phenomenal, it really is. 184 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.799 And it's so important the work that you guys do with this event. And 185 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:08.320 it's such a beautiful setting too. Right, Why is the marriage with Blyfield 186 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:14.000 Country Club so important? Do you think they've been with us from the very 187 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.519 beginning. I think that's really what is so special about our partnership with Slyfield 188 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.879 over the last ten tournaments. They have been an incredible partner with us along 189 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:30.360 this journey and from their staff to coordinating and according with our volunteers to get 190 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.000 in touch with the staff and work with the staff. It's just a really 191 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:40.639 cohesive community just uh, just all these different communities coming together and Blyfield is 192 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.879 kind of the glue and they keep everyone together. And it's a beautiful country 193 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.240 club. They had some incredible renovations last year, so you know the clubhouses, 194 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.960 you know, stick and span, and you have a wonderful putting green 195 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.600 area, and there's a lot more safe and it's just a wonderful place to 196 00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.960 be. And again it's there's nothing better than West Michigan in the summer on 197 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.759 a golf course, and Blackfield embodies all of those qualities. Yeah, and 198 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:10.279 I'm excited to be there tomorrow broadcasting live here with X's and Bros. The 199 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:17.240 attendance continues to grow too. How important has that been just from a community 200 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:25.160 standpoint where people are starting to make this an annual you know, pilgrimage if 201 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.759 you will, to support not just a great cause and the country club, 202 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:30.680 of course, but to see some of the best golfers in the world. 203 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.799 Yeah. I mean, we have folks come from around the world to this 204 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:41.960 tournament, from players to spectators to volunteers. But you know, our spectators 205 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.400 are really are really the heart of this tournament. We know that they are 206 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.079 coming not only to see great golf, but enjoy some great food, to 207 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:56.799 have activities for their kids, opportunities for them to see some of the best 208 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.240 women's golfers up close. And so we know that there's something for everyone here 209 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:07.000 and that's what makes also this tournament very special is giving spectators the opportunity to 210 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.400 make it an experience that they would like, and whether they're at our elevated 211 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.200 food experience Shape Brewers, or they are at our grant tease concessions, which 212 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:19.920 is a very affordable food option, everything as four dollars or less at those 213 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:25.400 grant ease concession areas across the course. There's something for everyone here, So 214 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:30.079 we are really pleased to see that our spectators, you know, are continuing 215 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.279 to come here every year and that there are affordable options for families to enjoy 216 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.359 the tournament as well. Carol Lutz, who is handling the communications from Meyer 217 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.079 and the Tathaniel Meyer Classic, joining us here on XIS and Bros. The 218 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:47.079 field is pretty special too, and of course the number one player in the 219 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:51.400 world, Nellie Korda, is out there. She's a past champion. But 220 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.319 you've got some big names out there. That tells you something about the area, 221 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.160 about the cause, and about the tournament in general. Knowing when you 222 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:06.319 have that many big names, this many big names out there to constantly come 223 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.440 to here and participate in the event, that is something special, don't you 224 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:15.400 think. Yeah? Absolutely, we have five previous champions here back at Blackfield, 225 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.160 which is really exciting. And then we have like you mentioned Nelly, 226 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.440 but also our number two and number three in the world are here as well, 227 00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:27.119 so we have a great field as well. And then our exemptions including 228 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:33.799 Brittany Lane, but also Katie Lou from Michigan State University. She's an incredible 229 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:38.599 student athlete and she got to do some practice runs with Lexi yesterday which is 230 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:44.000 awesome. And then we also had our John Ship and Winner as well, 231 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:47.799 so we have some really great uh, just a well rounded mix of players 232 00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:52.119 and again just the top of the top, and so they love coming out 233 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.960 here and we love posting them as well. Yeah, it's great stuff, 234 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.920 it really is. We wish you the best. We're honored that we're going 235 00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:03.400 to to be able to broadcast live from there tomorrow, and I know our 236 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.400 friend Bill Simonson, the Huge Show will be out there as well, and 237 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.559 he's just as excited as we are. Thanks for the time, We appreciated, 238 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.880 Kara, continued success and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Okay, 239 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.359 thank you so much. Yeah, happy, happy to chat and we'll 240 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:21.200 see you soon. Yeah, sounds great, Thanks so much, Have a 241 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.839 great day, Caara, lots from communications and handling the media there with the 242 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:30.480 tenth Anniel Meyer Classic joining us here on x'es and bros. Really fired up 243 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:37.920 for that. And anytime she's right, I bring up Nellie Corda. She's 244 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:42.119 amazing. She's won six of her last eight starts. Okay, she actually 245 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.920 won five consecutive starts in a row and she's only twenty five. She is 246 00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:51.759 the face of women's golf. She won the event back in twenty twenty one, 247 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.960 and she's a phenomenal player. But I love the fact that Lexi Thompson 248 00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.559 is there. She's announced this season is going to be her last before retirement. 249 00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:07.519 She's a fifteen time winner on the LPGA Tour at just a young age 250 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.640 of twenty nine. But she's out there and she's won it before too, 251 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.599 by the way, So you have players like that with name recognition, but 252 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:22.519 also with other players who you know are going to be out there as highly 253 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:30.240 rated and local connections too. And as I mentioned, Brittany Brittany Brittany Lang, 254 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.440 who we had on earlier today, set all the right things, does 255 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:38.000 all the right things. She had mentioned Katie Lou and I don't have mentioned 256 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:42.680 all American. She's going to be out there first Team All Big Ten selection. 257 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.759 Jennifer Song is from ann Arbor. She's going to be in the in 258 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.000 the field as well. So they do it the right way. That's the 259 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.440 that's what you're supposed to do in to do in these types of tournaments. 260 00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:59.400 So I think there's one hundred and forty four golfers out there, then you'll 261 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:02.720 narrow it down for the weekend. And I'm looking forward to being there tomorrow 262 00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:04.839 and I hope you can join us here on Exis and Bros. Stay with 263 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:11.319 us more about that tournament and about the NFL. As we mentioned earlier today, 264 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.640 want to talk about a few other things that are taking place regarding the 265 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.359 National Football League and the NBA. We got a text regarding the NBA and 266 00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:22.920 what the Pistons should do. We'll get to that when we come back on 267 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:27.400 Exus and Bros. After this.

She joins us here on Exus and brose 276 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.039 Lneil, We appreciate your time very much. She won the Shopwright LPGA Classic 277 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.720 earlier this year, so she's been playing solid golf and she looks forward to 278 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:32.240 the matchup here at Blayfield Country Club and we'll be broadcasting live there tomorrow morning. 279 00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:37.279 Linea, thanks again for your time. Have you had what's your experience 280 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.039 with the country club, with the course layout, and what are your thoughts 281 00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:45.039 on it as you get ready for the tournament tomorrow. Yeah, it's great. 282 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:49.400 I have finished playing in early nine host this morning, and the courses 283 00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:53.559 in great condition. Greens are quite firm, which is fun. You have 284 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:59.599 to think a little bit extra about your approach shops. But yeah, I 285 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.640 really look forward to getting started tomorrow and been quite a quick turn around for 286 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:08.839 me since I you know, came here early Monday morning and just came off 287 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:12.160 on a wind last week, so it's been a couple of busy days, 288 00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:17.920 but I do look forward to getting started tomorrow. How long does it take 289 00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:23.599 you to get comfortable with the course? I mean, usually not too long. 290 00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:27.799 In this one, I've been here I think the past three years, 291 00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:33.200 so it's kind of nice to get back to a place where you know where 292 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.240 everything is and you know the course pretty well. But usually I mean after 293 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.480 like one or two practice rounds, I feel like I'm pretty pretty comfortable with 294 00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.720 it, and I, you know, also trust my caddy that he's done 295 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.720 all of his work prior to the event as well. What will be most 296 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:57.720 important in your shot making this weekend? I would say it's It's a very 297 00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:02.799 good tea course, so I would say the driver is pretty important this week 298 00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:07.240 to put the ball in play off the tee because there's quite a few big 299 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.559 trees out there and the rock is pretty thick as well, so I would 300 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:15.799 say that the t shots will be key this week. Linea Strom joining us 301 00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:22.519 here on Exus and Bros. She was to contend for the Mayer Classic, 302 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.759 the tenth annual, taking place in the tease off tomorrow at Blackfield Country Club. 303 00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.119 We will be there live. When you see a course like this and 304 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.400 you know the scores can be low, I mean historically that's what it takes. 305 00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:38.720 How much more inviting is that for a player knowing that you've got a 306 00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:44.759 chance to go really low to win a championship. Yeah, it's fun with 307 00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:48.599 a low scoring course. And I mean I do feel like this course. 308 00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.000 Like you said, it is possible to shoot some of those scores here if 309 00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:57.799 you hit some good shots, but it can also be tricky if you don't 310 00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:02.119 hit it very good. So it's kind of fun in that way, like 311 00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:04.279 having that in the back of your head to you know, try and go 312 00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:08.640 for some pins and try and make a lot of bardies out there. What's 313 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:15.799 your favorite club in your bag and why I would say at the moment, 314 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:22.079 it's probably my wedges. Very comfortable with the wedges, and I hit those 315 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.799 a lot last week and hit those pretty good. So it's always nice when 316 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.960 you when you're comfortable with those, because it's a it's an important club in 317 00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:36.920 the bay. Yeah, help us with this. How much this is your 318 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:41.720 livelihood so you're practicing regularly? How much work do you and other members on 319 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:48.079 the LPGA Tour put in before you get ready for a tournament. What's it 320 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:53.039 like trying to prepare for a tournament for you? So, usually at the 321 00:26:53.119 --> 00:27:00.000 tournament side, I mean we usually play I mean either nine holes or eight 322 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.599 can halts practice round and then usually program the day before the tournament as well. 323 00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:07.279 But then we also put a lot of work in on the driving range, 324 00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.839 the putting grain and short game and you know, getting used to the 325 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:17.359 speed on the greens and the firmness and how the chip shots reacting, how 326 00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:22.799 the bunker shots reacting. So we pretty much go through everything and you know, 327 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.279 spend a couple of hours each day. And then we also make sure 328 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.359 that our body is in good shape, so you know, we go to 329 00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:33.720 the gym with your stretching, see our fictio. So it's a lot of 330 00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:40.720 work outside of the course as well that people don't usually see. This tournament 331 00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:45.519 is deeply involved in simply give giving back to the communities in the area for 332 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:49.720 those who are not as fortunate, and you're trying to you know, you're 333 00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:56.720 helping with those food pantries. How important is that for you and other members 334 00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:02.079 on the LPGA tour to stay involved in such a worthy cause, I think 335 00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:04.240 that's very important. And you know, I just walked off the eighteenth hole 336 00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.400 and they have a very big, simply Gift sign just to the right of 337 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.160 the green. So it's just so much fun to see that. It's very 338 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:17.200 important, and I think, including myself and a lot of the other players 339 00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:21.640 too, I think we're very happy to be part of that. And you 340 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:25.319 know, I love giving back, to giving back to the community, so 341 00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:29.759 it's super fun to see that the Mayor Classic is doing that as well. 342 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:36.599 There's so many tournaments out there for you to play. You can't play every 343 00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:41.240 single one of them. Why is this one on your list? To make 344 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.599 kind a pretty regular basis. I mean, I love coming here. It's 345 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:51.599 a great golf course, very good golf club. And yeah, I mean 346 00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:55.839 I in general, I do enjoy playing a lot of golf. And you 347 00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:59.440 know, I set my schedule early in the year and then I had this 348 00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.400 on top of the list and I was late. It's been a little bit 349 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.119 hectic coming off a when last week, but I'm happy to be here and 350 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.160 it might give me a little bit more flexibility towards the end of the season 351 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:17.839 to maybe take some more off weeks off tournaments, but yeah, I really 352 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:22.480 enjoy coming back here every year, so that's good. Yeah, Linnea Strom 353 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:29.680 is joining us here on x'es and bros. I asked this earlier today when 354 00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.759 we welcome Britney lang in. You play your pro ams, which is awesome. 355 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:37.240 I've been in them. I've played with LPGA players and pro ams. 356 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:42.759 It's so enjoyable because we get such a first hand view of how talented you 357 00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:49.839 truly are, but you also get a first hand view of how struggling golfers 358 00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:56.160 enjoy the game too. What is it you either enjoy most or laugh most 359 00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:02.359 about your experiences with pro ams? I think, I mean it's very funny 360 00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:07.680 because I think almost every week a lot. I understand that amateurs are nervous 361 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.359 coming to play at tournament course and getting to play with a pro, but 362 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.920 almost every single time one of them will say, oh, I'm sure I'm 363 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.680 the worst golfer you've ever seen, and I'll always laugh and tell them, 364 00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.839 trust me, I've seen way worse, because I mean, it's just fun 365 00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.799 for it's fun for us. I mean, for me, it's all about 366 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:32.400 meeting new people and making sure that the amateurs have a good day out on 367 00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:36.240 the course and you know, maybe giving them some tips here and there, 368 00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.839 just making sure they have an enjoyable time playing with a professional golfer. So 369 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:47.119 it's quite fun and I mean it is laughable sometimes, but I always try 370 00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:49.160 and tell them that they don't need to be nervous. You know, we 371 00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:55.079 understand that everyone is not as good at golf as we are, so it's 372 00:30:55.160 --> 00:31:00.799 quite quite entertaining. You remember the Swedish national golf team you came to America, 373 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:07.279 played it at Arizona State, I believe right, Uh yeah, as 374 00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.400 part of a national championship team, as a as a native of Sweden. 375 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:17.839 Who is Sweden's greatest sports hero do you think? Because we here in Michigan 376 00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:21.200 we love Nick Lidstrom, one of the greatest defensemen, if not the greatest 377 00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:25.480 defenseman of all time. I don't know if you parlay other sports or you 378 00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:29.680 respect, you know, the Swedish influence in the game of hockey. How 379 00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:36.319 would you answer, Swedish biggest hero sports wise? Oh? Biggest here of 380 00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:38.960 sports wise. I mean we do have quite a few, and especially in 381 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.039 hockey, Like you said, it's very big in Sweden and big here in 382 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:51.559 Michigan too. Obviously in the golfer industry, Anica Thornstem So I think she's 383 00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:57.200 the one that probably has influenced medium most and you know, very relatable since 384 00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:02.000 she's a golfer. Other than that, I mean, we had quite a 385 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:07.640 few and then we have a slap of Neighbrahimovich, the soccer player just played 386 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:12.640 in America a lot as well. So yeah, quite a few, and 387 00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:16.200 I'm a few tennis players too. Beyond board, Yeah, bere on board 388 00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:21.799 was was was incredible when when you won the championship you were I think you 389 00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:24.400 won the Pac twelve championship, you were first, two time first team All 390 00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:31.440 American. How how influential was that in your career? Knowing that you were 391 00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:37.319 that good at the collegiate level, that gave you the confidence to succeed at 392 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:43.200 the professional level too. I think that was that was a very important turning 393 00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:47.200 point in my college career because I had kind of been struggling a little bit 394 00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:52.480 early on my freshman year and then I ended up winning that back twelve later 395 00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.839 in my freshman year, so kind of gave me that confidence, you know, 396 00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:00.839 going into my second year of college. And then the year after that, 397 00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:07.240 we ended up winning the national championship together with the team, So it 398 00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.039 was just quite a cool experience. And you know how college golf is. 399 00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:14.440 It's so much fun because you have the team and the coaches supporting you, 400 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.240 and it was just a very enjoyable time for me because I love I love 401 00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:23.200 playing team golf, and as soon as you turn pro and you get out 402 00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:29.400 on the LPGA, it's very individual. So I really look back at those 403 00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:34.119 college years and you know, they were an amazing time, So I'm very 404 00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.240 thankful for those years. Yeah, last question for you've been at this long 405 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:42.839 enough so it's really not new to you both. What was the biggest difference 406 00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:49.720 or stiffest challenge jumping from the collegiate ranks to the professional ranks for you or 407 00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:53.680 in general on the LPGA tour, I would say, I mean, it's 408 00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:59.240 pretty much like you start from scratch. It when you turn pro, it 409 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.240 doesn't really at it what you've done as an amateur, because you know, 410 00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:07.840 you pretty much go into Q school like everyone else. You have to make 411 00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:13.920 sure you earn your status on the LPGA Tour, and then other than that, 412 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.119 I think it's it's just a lot of other things too, because you 413 00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:21.880 need to do all of your planning yourself. You need to set the schedule. 414 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:23.559 You need to know how many weeks in a row can you play, 415 00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:28.639 how much can you practice? How is your body going to hold us? 416 00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:34.320 Because in college you had the coaches pretty much planning everything for you. They 417 00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:38.800 planned the tournaments, they booked a fly So it was just quite quite easy 418 00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:42.079 in college, to be honest, now when you look back at it, 419 00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:45.800 when you turn and pro you completely on your own and you have to organize 420 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.960 everything yourself. So that was a big challenge the first couple of years. 421 00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:57.920 I bet you ever get tired of practicing. No, generally not, but 422 00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:01.360 obviously there are moments where you want to wake up when you don't want to 423 00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:05.559 go to the golf course, and then you kind of just have to push 424 00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:08.719 through. Or maybe that's maybe that's your body telling you, like you need 425 00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:13.679 to do something else today. But I mean it's at the end of the 426 00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.480 day. I feel like when you have certain goals that you want to reach, 427 00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:20.039 you have that in the back of your head and that's always going to 428 00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:23.920 keep you motivated to go to practice. You told me if you got to 429 00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:27.719 go, I I want to ask you a couple more if you don't mind. 430 00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.920 There's a famous story about Jack Nicholas and how he his favorite club was 431 00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:35.480 the three would and he only had it regripped once in his entire career and 432 00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:38.360 people couldn't believe it. How often? Wow? Yeah, how often are 433 00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:46.000 you regripping your clubs? How often are you changing clubs within the same manufacturer. 434 00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:52.199 It's funny to ask, because I actually I actually read with my clubs 435 00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:57.559 yesterday, the whole bag. So I mean, I would say we go 436 00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:02.840 through the grips quite often. I would say grips probably maybe every third or 437 00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:08.119 four months, and same with wedges. I get new wetches probably every third 438 00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:14.519 month or so. But then irons I keep for a full season. The 439 00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:17.480 woods I can keep for a couple of years. I have the same three 440 00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:21.960 wood and five wood that I've had for the past three years, I think 441 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:27.599 so, and the pattern I had for three seasons. So I think it's 442 00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:30.920 just the wedgless. You go through a lot with the short game and especially 443 00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:34.960 the bunker shots, and you want to make sure you have fresh fresh growth 444 00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:40.000 in the wedges. But iron's probably only one per season. Wow, once 445 00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:45.079 per season. Yeah, That's that's incredible, is it? Are you always 446 00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:49.079 using the same club? Is that because of technology? Is it because of 447 00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.519 the grooves? Like you mentioned? What why so frequently to go through a 448 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:59.519 different set of irons every single every single year. Well, just with all 449 00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:04.280 of them with practice and play. I mean, they groups do go bad 450 00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.800 after a while, and it's nice to start to see them with fresh ones. 451 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:12.599 And then you know, the club companies they come out with new models 452 00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.159 and they always want us to try them, and most of the time I 453 00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:22.199 do like the new models. So it just depends. But it I'm also 454 00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:25.920 very careful as well, because I know if I have clubs in the bag 455 00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:30.559 that I know are working, I'm comfortable with. I'm not hesitating to make 456 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:35.400 any changes. Sure, what are your irons and what are your woods? 457 00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:39.760 Are they the same or are they different? Now I play, I play 458 00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:44.519 all PhD clubs, the whole bag, and they've been they've been great, 459 00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.679 great for a couple of years. So yeah, I'm very happy with my 460 00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:52.360 clubs. Beautiful, Hey, listen, really enjoyed it. Congratulations on your 461 00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:58.440 on your success last week, and congratulations on all you've accomplished at the collegiate 462 00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:00.880 level. Really look forward to watch Can you play this week? And line 463 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:05.559 Astrom. Thanks for your time so much. Stay healthy and have a great 464 00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:08.719 weekend. Okay, yeah, thank you so much. Yeah, I really 465 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:14.159 enjoyed it. Yeah you too. That's fantastic. I just that's that's fun 466 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:19.599 to learn for about people's craft on how seriously they take it, but also 467 00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:23.199 all the things that goes into it. That's amazing to me. Every who 468 00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:30.320 would have thought that every year because it's not being spoiled. I'd love to 469 00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:34.119 know what they do with their old clubs. Can I have them? No? 470 00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:37.960 Just kidding, But here's the thing. They because they use them so 471 00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:42.119 often, because they're practicing. I mean, this is an everyday thing for 472 00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:47.719 them, so they're bound to be using it and I don't want to say 473 00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:52.960 damaging it, but it takes its toll on the equipment you're going to have 474 00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:58.480 to get. It's no different than any other sport. I suppose baseball players, 475 00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:01.199 you know they're going to go through They're going to go through spikes. 476 00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:07.639 Gloves are a little different. They only primarily they'll have a game glove, 477 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:12.000 they'll have a practice glove. They're the same glove obviously, but with pro 478 00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:20.760 golfers, to have that change as often as it does is I find fascinating. 479 00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:23.079 I really do. I want to get to one more thing before we 480 00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:25.639 say go bye. I know we're running up against it. Ben's probably shaking 481 00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:30.760 his head right now. He's prialy saying what's going on here. Somebody had 482 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:34.400 tweeted this out the other day. They said, the Tigers loss last night, 483 00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:38.039 but it might be the worst of the season. They wrote to Riley 484 00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:44.239 Green's er because he moves like he's forty six with three kids and can't bend 485 00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:47.679 down. I don't think he moves like forty six. Can we just try 486 00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:52.440 to keep things in perspective. Two games ago, he makes a diving catch 487 00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:58.320 that is a top ten play in baseball at a top ten sport play on 488 00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:04.079 ESPN. So let's not get carried away at forty six. Sure, he 489 00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:07.679 misplays a ball, how often times do we see him diving? Forty six 490 00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:15.199 year olds aren't diving for catches like that. Kredler boots a routine ground ball 491 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:20.119 that's not expected of him. He's the guy who is supposed to make the 492 00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:27.159 routine play. I said that about him when somebody suggested you get rid of 493 00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:30.400 Baiaz and you just bring up Kredler. So the thing Kridler does he makes 494 00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:35.960 the routine play, did not make it last night? Then this person tweeted 495 00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:39.400 Rogers who blocks everything decides to pick up a two strike flat to pick a 496 00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:44.719 two strike slider. Yes, you know why because Andrew Chafin throws two pitches, 497 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:49.639 and the one pitch he predominantly throws, his slider, is his best 498 00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.280 pitch. It's his out pitch. It's up to the catcher to stop it. 499 00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:57.679 Of course you're going to call that. That's the right call. You 500 00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:00.880 just got to stop it. I just needed to address that.
