00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,439

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: This is my third season here, but I'm a lifer.

48
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,680
I've been caddying off and off for over forty years.

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:23,599
Speaker 3: Is that right?

50
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:29,159
Speaker 2: All around the country? Like where Bay Hill, Durrell, Robert

51
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:32,039
Trent Jones. But they used to have the President's Cup Congressional,

52
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:37,120
A bunch of country clubs in La Lakeside, LA country Club,

53
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:40,000
a couple of years on the nationwide tour, a couple

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,599
of laps around the country. Wow, with a bunch of

55
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:43,439
cut missers.

56
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,879
Speaker 1: Is that frustrating for a caddy when you're playing a

57
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,479
nationwide tour and you're like, this guy's got he's got

58
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,560
the potential to make it.

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,439
Speaker 2: Well, you know, they qualified, so they got there, So

60
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:58,479
they weren't good enough to get there. It's just you

61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,719
have to make the money. You have to make cut, right,

62
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,120
And a lot of these guys four or five tournaments out,

63
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,919
missed the cut. Every time they're gone. Never heard of

64
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:05,360
them again.

65
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, that's terrible.

66
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000

67
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,520
of this course, Chambers Bay.

68
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: Well, it was an old gravel pit. Yeah, okay, with

69
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,680
people who can't see it's about eight hundred feet missing landscape.

70
00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:23,319
It was that high and went all the way to

71
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,080
the water that high.

72
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: Like the elevation change in this course.

73
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:28,479
Speaker 4: Yeah.

74
00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:31,439

traditional link style usually get a little breeze in the evenings.

76
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:37,800
Not today though.

77
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:41,639
Speaker 3: No, the weather's been unbelievable. It's overcast all day.

78
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the temperature has probably been in the upper sixties,

79
00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:46,039
maybe most seventies.

80
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:46,960

81
00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: That was perfect.

82
00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:52,599
Speaker 3: No wind, no rain, just clouds. The sun hasn't been

83
00:03:52,639 --> 00:03:56,240
too overbearing. It's been really a beautiful day, round blast

84
00:03:57,919 --> 00:04:00,560

Speaker 3: I mean there's a very famous name associated with that golf. Yes.

134
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: I did get to caddy for mister Palmer several times

135
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,879
over this course of six years. But you didn't do

136
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:16,480
much for Arnold. He just drove the cart, break the bunkers,

137
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:16,920
clean the.

138
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,439
Speaker 3: Ball in the clubs and he never asked no.

139
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,639
Speaker 2: I had him right after he turned seventy, so twenty

140
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,600
five years ago or something, and he shot seventy one

141
00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:30,040
and we get done. I said, man, you could have

142
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:30,600
one more.

143
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:31,759
Speaker 4: You could have shot seventy for me.

144
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,639
Speaker 2: He says, well, like you had anything to do with it,

145
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:36,199
because I didn't.

146
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 4: He didn't read it.

147
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,639
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't do What are you going to

148
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,519
tell him? He built the place right exactly. It was

149
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,360
pretty pretty cool, pretty cool comeback.

150
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 3: And but overall was he fun to be on the course?

151
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: We well, yeah, he just he was out there every day.

152
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,839
They had a shootout. They had a little skin type

153
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:56,240
of game and then draw crowd around the first t

154
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,680
and he'd meet everybody, go meet him, and they had

155
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,800
a it was a large so they'd meet him in

156
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,000
the dining area bar. So he come talk to everybody. Yeah,

157
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,120
he just he was proud of that place, which he

158
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,439
should have been. Outstanding golf course, is it? Yeah, one

159
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,199
of the best I've ever been on, really, especially tournament time.

160
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,879
When the tournament comes around, it just turns into a

161
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,879
US Open. I mean first it's a regular country club

162
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,560
resort course, and then all of a sudden, boom, the

163
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:26,240
rough goes up, the greens get fast.

164
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 3: Huh, and we're walking up to the green. Now I

165
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:32,120
am on the green. Great shot, Mike, Yep, we're putting.

166
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:37,560
We are putting. I'm definitely on the green. Looks pretty strange.

167
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,040
What do you see?

168
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,399
Speaker 2: It's going right a little bit, fred much?

169
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not a lot.

170
00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:48,079
Speaker 2: Let's take a look from the other side, like the

171
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:48,759
pros do it.

172
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: Thirty three feet?

173
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: Is this going left or right? Yeah, that's what I thought.

174
00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:58,519
Speaker 3: Sam just conferred with the other caddy.

175
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,839
Speaker 4: Yep, there's no doubt about definitely.

176
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,879
Speaker 2: The first intuition is usually right played about a cup?

177
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: About a cup to the left, Okay, a pill a pill?

178
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: So thirty five feet all right, let's see what happens

179
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,079
using my lab golf.

180
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:21,839
Speaker 3: Do you have three point zero broomstick? Turn now, turn

181
00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:26,000
out dead straight street, just a narrow good putt.

182
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,519
Speaker 4: We gamed.

183
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 3: And I made it for park good part.

184
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,879
Speaker 2: Thank you take that every day on this whole.

185
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, Michael's putt, yes up and down? Nice, Mike zep for.

186
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:52,519
Speaker 2: Pretty good up and down though I want to last

187
00:08:52,559 --> 00:09:02,200
shot good Yeah, one one, two touched that four. Yeah.

188
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought I'd finally beat you on a hole

189
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,159
in the back.

190
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 4: Mic.

191
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: I guess a tough beat right there.

192
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's playing out of his mind right now. Mike's

193
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,399
went over after in the back nine the verse five.

194
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: Not me, but I can do better. After the front nine, you.

195
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: Were like, who do you mean You're an eleven handicap

196
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:31,960
in too many parts?

197
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,159
Speaker 3: I guess the back n have been looking like an

198
00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:35,080
eleven handicap.

199
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 4: Of course we'll do that to you.

200
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were one whole number four just ate me alive.

201
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,559
So we were starting to talk about the history of

202
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,360
this course. Yeah, so can you tell me?

203
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,919
Speaker 3: So they built the specific for the US Open.

204
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,159
Speaker 2: There's a guy named John Lauderbaki comes out, takes different

205
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,799
caddies and tells the stories about building it with Robert

206
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,080
Trent Jones Stop doing and Mike Davis of the USGA.

207
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,720
Back then, So there was a lot of collaboration, a

208
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:07,519
lot of moving dirt. They moved a lot of dirt,

209
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,240
but they didn't you know, they didn't have to bring

210
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:11,759
anything in. It was just basically all here. It was

211
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,519
Blank's late really and he turned it into this. There's

212
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:16,840
a picture in the clubhouse. When you go back, you

213
00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:18,200
might want to could take a look at it by

214
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,559
the restaurant. It's from you know, super High and it's

215
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,480
just white. There's just nothing here at all.

216
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: But does it accommodate I guess it does accommodate fans

217
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,080
lining because there's.

218
00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:32,519
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's pretty difficult for walking as you can

219
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,879
see these little hills and stuff on theist and ankles,

220
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:38,320
so it's a tough walk. It's a seven mile hike

221
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,320
in the middle of the fairway anyways.

222
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,799
Speaker 1: So this is a walking only course and it's seven

223
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,519
miles yep. Yeah, and you do have the elevation.

224
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,039
Speaker 4: Check up and down this hill four times.

225
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: All right. Where we headed next And it's a signature

226
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:53,440
whole fifteen Part three.

227
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,879
Speaker 2: It's got our loane fur in the background and it's

228
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:58,639
it's on.

229
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:07,159
Speaker 1: All the logos because of the single tree a little Nazareth.

230
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: Is this a hole you see a lot of holes

231
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:10,519
in one.

232
00:11:10,919 --> 00:11:13,159
Speaker 4: I've seen one. I hear a story. There's one.

233
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,519
Speaker 2: Probably there's probably five to six a year, wouldn't you say, Tyler?

234
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:24,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was you saying? There's a with a back

235
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,200
left pin.

236
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:27,159
Speaker 2: We've got a backstop so you can hit the ball

237
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,320
past the hole and roll back and that's how they

238
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,559
make your hole in ones here.

239
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 3: Oh, I see it sloped from back to front.

240
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,039
Speaker 2: On the left big time. Yeah, we can do it

241
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,039
with this flag. We lost this green two winters ago.

242
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,960
We had some pipes break up there on the left,

243
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,399
dug out the canyon four.

244
00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:47,279
Speaker 4: Feet deep, four feet wide all the way through the green.

245
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,399
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

246
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,399
Speaker 2: So it was a seventeen whole course for about six

247
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,519
months because there's no place to put a temp.

248
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:55,799
Speaker 1: Well, I think this would be a good place as

249
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,039
any Yep, this is nice to take a picture.

250
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,639
Speaker 3: Together, Absolutely perfect, and let.

251
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,879
Speaker 1: Me get a shot of you. Gotta have the tree

252
00:12:02,879 --> 00:12:08,519
in the background. Absolutely nice, got it? So what story

253
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:12,000
of this this tree that we're looking at here all by?

254
00:12:12,039 --> 00:12:13,639
Speaker 3: It's lonesome. The last one.

255
00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if there was many, Like I said,

256
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,759
it was blank, But there is a story here.

257
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 4: One of the stories.

258
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: There's several stories. The one I hear, no.

259
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:25,799
Speaker 2: Not yet, but uh one that I One of the

260
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,960
stories I hear is discrimbled employee tried to chop it down. Ooh,

261
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,279
and they brought an arborist out to try to see

262
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:33,519
if they could save it. And he said, a good

263
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:35,679
thing I came because the tree was actually dying at

264
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,960
the time. So they saved it and put a little

265
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,279
fence around it. Now I don't know if that's true,

266
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,519
and I don't know how they found out it was

267
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:44,720
a discriunbled employee. He must have been telling the wrong

268
00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:45,399
people or on.

269
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,399
Speaker 3: The employee with a twelve case of beer right on

270
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,039
the beach side.

271
00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: Oh and a guy found the employee drag a bunch.

272
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,759
Speaker 3: He cut the tree down. Okay, well that's how we

273
00:12:54,799 --> 00:12:57,480
can do it with an axe of like power sided. Yeah.

274
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,279
He was there probably for forty five minutes with an

275
00:12:59,279 --> 00:12:59,960
action and got tired.

276
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:04,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, forty five minutes out there with an axe, got tired.

277
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: He was drunk.

278
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 2: Okay.

279
00:13:06,759 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 4: I like that story.

280
00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm that part too. It I didn't have it before.

281
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,879
You see, the more you come out here, the more

282
00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:12,679
you learn, all.

283
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: Right, So from these tea's this looks like I got

284
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,519
one twenty on my watch. It's twenty five to the

285
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,519
pin when twenty factual it's way downhill.

286
00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:25,759
Speaker 4: Usually against the wind. We can't feel it.

287
00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: The water's clear. I mean it looks like glass. There

288
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,519
is a little there's a wind. Very we're going to

289
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,600
play the number twenty five? Yeah, because you can't be short.

290
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:37,399
Speaker 1: Okay, no, no, because it's just nothing but waste stereo

291
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:38,360
between here and there.

292
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,639
Speaker 3: Although we are elevated by how much I.

293
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,759
Speaker 2: Think it's if it was the scope, it's twelve yards down,

294
00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:49,200
so it's eighteen feet or something like that. We're like

295
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:55,440
thirty feet yeah, six yeah, thirty feet. So but like

296
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,120
I said, if we don't play it much and here's

297
00:13:57,159 --> 00:13:58,879
our one.

298
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:01,279
Speaker 1: Of the beautiful things is that we've seen on this

299
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,039
chorus is we're right up against the water.

300
00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:06,159
Speaker 3: What water is this? This is a south sound, Puget sound.

301
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,200
This is a south sound.

302
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,799
Speaker 1: And one of the sounds we're gonna hear in just

303
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,600
about a minute is train's been going.

304
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: By all day long.

305
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,519
Speaker 1: They're just they're long trains too, right, sixty a day,

306
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,080
sixty trains.

307
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: A day, yes, and they're they're not like commuter trains,

308
00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:30,240
although that will come by. There is an abtract now

309
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:33,320
I see it. But yeah, it's freight and it's they're big,

310
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:34,799
and there's a port.

311
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 4: You know.

312
00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 3: This one's short this okay, so it could.

313
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it might just be engines.

314
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,799
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna play a nine iron here.

315
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,279
Speaker 4: I like it.

316
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 3: Oh wait, there's more behind it. Ah, oh, here we go.

317
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: There's some flat cars behind it. So one, two, three, four, Yeah, engines,

318
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,639
a lot of flat cars coming.

319
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,759
Speaker 3: I love it. All right, I'll go.

320
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: So we're aiming right at the logo tree there the

321
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,679
left of the flag.

322
00:15:06,879 --> 00:15:11,639
Speaker 1: Left of the flag at the tree. Okay, got it.

323
00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:14,399
It's been so much fun having a caddy going Yeah,

324
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,440
just a little bit.

325
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: Don't go right at the flag. I love that.

326
00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: It's going right to the flag, but it's coming back

327
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:26,879
a little bit. Distance is good.

328
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 3: Oh no. So I went past the flag.

329
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: To the back edge of the green and it looks

330
00:15:40,759 --> 00:15:42,559
like it's sitting on the lip to the bunker.

331
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:43,879
Speaker 3: Shoot.

332
00:15:44,759 --> 00:15:45,519
Speaker 4: That went a long way.

333
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:47,399
Speaker 3: That went a long way.

334
00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: Hmm.

335
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: One of the things that I love too.

336
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: I really enjoy talking to caddies on the shows because

337
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,639
caddies always have great stories and challenge has been set.

338
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 3: What do you got for me? You know, it's like

339
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:04,799
on this course, what's the craziest thing you see?

340
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,279
Speaker 2: I have a gentleman from New York Upper West Side.

341
00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 4: He had about one hundred and fifty balls in his bag.

342
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,759
Speaker 2: It was my second loop of the day, so I

343
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,039
was just a smidge in late, so I didn't get

344
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,519
a chance to see the bag and check it out,

345
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:21,039
so they just put it on a cart. He hit

346
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,600
two or three T shirts on every hole. There were

347
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:27,320
three someome two guys in him, paired up ninety degrees outside,

348
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,519
no hat, no sunglasses, no sunscreen, nothing. He hit the

349
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:35,679
ball into the waste area, which we have a lot

350
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,120
of here. Yeah, and I will you know, I'm not

351
00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:40,639
going down there if we HiT's your third ball? So

352
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,879
he would go down there and he would actually start.

353
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:45,519
Speaker 3: Hunting for balls, and he already had one hundred in

354
00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:45,960
his bag.

355
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:51,879
Speaker 2: Oh and needless to say, it was a long day.

356
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,279
Speaker 4: I should have because it.

357
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,120

361
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:06,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my roughest one out here.

362
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

363
00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: I had a lot of good ones out here though,

364
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,000

365
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,440

366
00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 4: You know. It's a US open course.

367
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,920

00:17:19,759 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 4: That you can just come out and play.

369
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,079
Speaker 3: Oh boy, did I get lucky? Yes, we did look

370
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:24,400

00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 3: Oh man, it just it's just inches.

373
00:17:31,079 --> 00:17:33,599
Speaker 1: We should have this inch and a half from falling

374
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,799
into the waste area.

375
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,079
Speaker 3: I guess I should put this.

376
00:17:38,759 --> 00:17:41,559
Speaker 4: No, maybe your little hybrid or something.

00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,440
scoping out towards the water.

442
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:39,319

really yep. This summer we had the actual whale humpback.

460
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,400

00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 3: That No, no, I gotta go back to the golf course.

00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,440
jobs to always get my Social Security this year at

502
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:48,960

503
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:52,279
Speaker 1: Okay, So like, what kind of jobs did you have?

504
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 4: My last job?

505
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,759
Speaker 3: Well, my last job was Uber. I was an Uber driver, okay,

506
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,240
right at the pandemic.

507
00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: But before that, did some real estate my brother Southern

508
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:07,160
California for six years. Okay, did some house flipping, reconstructions,

509
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,039
all that good stuff.

510
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: But it was like, get me back to the well.

511
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: I just yeah, just I played golf obviously, but I

512
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,880
knew I could play better, and with less on my mind,

513
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,400
I played better. I'm playing the best golf of my

514
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,839
life at sixty two years old, right.

515
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 4: Now, with that right as we speak.

516
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a lot of it is out here.

517
00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:28,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, my life is, and it's not.

518
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not an easy course, and I'm very impressed

519
00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:33,680
that it's sixty two years old.

520
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 3: You're carrying it. You took my bag.

521
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,799
Speaker 1: I mean when I went to Banded Dunes they took

522
00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:39,480
everything out of.

523
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,599
Speaker 3: My bag and carried their own. But you're cherry in mind. Well,

524
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:44,039
it's just light enough to carry.

525
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:46,039
Speaker 4: It's just right on the borderline.

526
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just one bag.

527
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:48,759
Speaker 4: I don't have to worry about anybody else.

528
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: Right, if there was two.

529
00:24:50,079 --> 00:24:51,039
Speaker 4: Like that, we'd never do it.

530
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: I'd never do it, right, all right, Well, Michael made

531
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,720
it out of a junk, but he may did about

532
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:58,559
ten yards past.

533
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: This train is still don't go man, Sixty trains a day. Amazing.

534
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,519
Speaker 1: So tomorrow we're gonna be playing uh up at Willow's Run.

535
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,319
There's two courses that we're gonna play. The Eagles talent

00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,119
you know that course I've played them.

537
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,279
Speaker 2: I don't remember if they didn't stick out to me.

538
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,720
And that's except the play slow.

539
00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:25,039
Speaker 4: Pace of play was a little slow.

540
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,319
Speaker 3: Well, today has not been quick. Nope, I mean.

541
00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:29,279
Speaker 4: You'll be used to that.

542
00:25:29,839 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 3: So here it's six o'clock. Now we're on five sixteen

543

Speaker 2: We got three to two and a half to go,

545
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:37,799

546
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 3: Old boy, am I going to get in trouble.

00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to meet my wife for dinner at six thirty.

548
00:25:43,079 --> 00:25:46,359
I'm gonna be late. Oh well, is this me? Or

549
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,440
this could be this looks close to the edge of

550
00:25:50,519 --> 00:25:51,200
falling off.

551
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 3: Nope, not me, Nope.

552
00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 4: You know I'm going position.

553
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,759
Speaker 2: A and the flag is on the right edge all

554
00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:01,359
the way back. This is Sunday pin. This is the

555
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,640
stuff as it gets on this hole.

556
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 3: Is that right?

557
00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:03,759
Speaker 2: Yeah?

558
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 3: This is me. This is my shot. Scope says ninety

559
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,400
seven to the center, one twenty one.

560
00:26:12,279 --> 00:26:14,759
Speaker 4: To the back, one eighteen ten.

561
00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:17,519
Speaker 1: It's not I want to probably go sure to that,

562
00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:24,000
So the one ten shot, yep, pitching bunch and go

563
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,000
for the center of the green.

564
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 4: Yep.

565
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 3: I was recently told that, of course, had around where

566
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,319
they just pulled all the flags and.

567
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:36,319
Speaker 1: Just hit to the middle, just hit to the middle,

568
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,079
and mare golfers hit greens in regulation and usual.

569
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,599
Speaker 4: That's a great statistic. Yeah, that is great to hear.

570
00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: Get up, come on, come on, that's right, stay there, Okay,

571
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,200
I'm on the green right, yep, we're putting. We're putting

572
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,200
another green in regulation, another one in green and regulation

573
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,079
and fairway.

574
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: If I R and a g I R here, let's

575
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,039
get to make try to.

576
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 3: Make some putts. What's your all time favorite course?

577
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you've played so many and you flew this.

578
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 4: This is creeping up there.

579
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:15,519
Speaker 3: Really. Well, the more you play, the.

580
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: More I even just carrying it, the more I'm on it,

581
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,000
It's creaking up there. The best course I've ever played,

582
00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:23,200
still though, hands down is Shinnecock Hills.

583
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,839
Speaker 4: Really I got on there.

584
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 2: I was working in Calforia, Palm Desert, Tameris Country Club.

585
00:27:29,559 --> 00:27:32,119
We drove a member's car back from there Palm Desert

586
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:37,440
to he he lived in uh, Connecticut, Jambury, Connecticut. So

587
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,279
he loaded up his car with dishes and stuff and

588
00:27:39,279 --> 00:27:41,640
me and another guy we had a PGA. He had

589
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,839
a PGA card, so we called. He called the head said, hey,

590
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,000
we're gonna prooce. We're going to be Can we come

591
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,160
play your course? I'm sure enough. They did the reciprocal

592
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,799
So we take his Mercedes all the way across the

593
00:27:50,839 --> 00:27:54,359
country from Palm Desert straight driving, didn't stop. Switch had

594
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,680
taking terms straight to Shinnecock Hills. T off first thing

595
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,559
in the morning. It beats us up, but it was

596
00:28:01,839 --> 00:28:05,400
something to behold why because it's it was just grand.

597
00:28:05,559 --> 00:28:08,599
It was just you knew the history of it. And

598
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,599
it was tough. It was very very hard, and I

599
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,039
was I was a decent player. Then I was a two, but.

600
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,599
Speaker 3: I wouldn't remember what you shot.

601
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 4: I shot eighty eight.

602
00:28:16,839 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 2: Wow, But I did get out of the car driving

603
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,359
across the country.

604
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,799
Speaker 4: But still I broke ninety.

605
00:28:22,319 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 3: That's good.

606
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,279
Speaker 1: Well, that was my goal for today to try to

607
00:28:25,319 --> 00:28:27,480
break ninety. Okay, because I knew this course was not

608
00:28:27,519 --> 00:28:29,920
going to be easy, and this putt is not going.

609
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,599
Speaker 2: To be easy because it's not the one we wanted.

610
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm too far over.

611
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 4: It's almost chippable.

612
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you had that, well, and I can't go

613
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:40,960
too far left because it's going to.

614
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,359
Speaker 3: Go left and then down a hill with a bunker.

615
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,359
Speaker 1: There's a bunker there I can't go, and then there's

616
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,880
a it looks like a sprinkler head.

617
00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:52,079
Speaker 2: We're really going to just be happy with fifteen feet here?

618
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:52,839
Speaker 4: Oh boy?

619
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: Am I going to go just inside the sprinkler head?

620
00:28:56,559 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 4: Yeah? I don't mind you going up.

621
00:28:57,759 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: There, because it's going to come back around.

622
00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:01,279
Speaker 4: It's going to be holland though.

623
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 2: You know, for you to get it to the top,

624
00:29:02,759 --> 00:29:04,960
it's going to be it's going to be moving pretty fast,

625
00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:06,640
and it's downhill and away.

626
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 4: We might want to.

627
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,079
Speaker 2: Hit three quarters of the way there and aim right

628
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,759
at it and just be happy with over here and

629
00:29:13,799 --> 00:29:16,319
not in the bunker long because there's a bunker behind here.

630
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: Okay.

631
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:18,839
Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of putts go in the bunker

632
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,920
from here, a lot of shots.

633
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,079
Speaker 3: So I just want to get it over that mound.

634
00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: Yep, barely and just let it trickle out. But you

635
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:28,640
gotta give it to that dark spot just right at

636
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,640
the sprinkler head. We're still going to that dark spot

637
00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:31,480
right right.

638
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 3: Oh boy, this is treacherous, to say the least. This

639
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:36,680
is ugly.

640
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,359
Speaker 1: So I want to get it up over that and

641
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,880
that's about thirty feet and then it's going to drop

642
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,440
down onto the green and then don't want to have

643
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,240
too much speed.

644
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:51,279
Speaker 3: Uh oh, that's not good at all. I was way

645
00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:52,559
right of the mark and.

646
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:55,119
Speaker 4: It just turns to the thing is you just can't

647
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:55,400
put it.

648
00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: I'm still in the green.

649
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: Probably a two put it's pretty straight going right at

650
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,279
the end.

651
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, right at his ball and is it downhill?

652
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, not a lot.

653
00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 3: Get in another bogie Michael six.

654
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's two with two to go, we were

655
00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:26,400
tied three three at the front. This is a lot

656
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:37,599
of pressure here. What is the story with those structures

657
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:38,759
that used to be.

658
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:41,359
Speaker 4: So this was you know, rock Quarry.

659
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,319
Speaker 2: So those are the separation bins where they separate the

660
00:30:43,359 --> 00:30:46,559
rocks by size, and there's a track going underneath, the

661
00:30:46,599 --> 00:30:49,640
railroad track going underneath connected to these tracks and also

662
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,440
connected to the barges.

663
00:30:51,119 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 4: And it would send the rock out that way.

664
00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:53,279
Speaker 3: Wow.

665
00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 4: So they left it.

666
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of it was demoed, but they

667
00:30:58,519 --> 00:31:00,319
left all this kind of give it that stick.

668
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:00,559
Speaker 4: Look.

669
00:31:01,359 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a pretty compelling look.

670
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

671
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 2: Some guy climbed up there during the US Open. Oh

672
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,759
and of course you can go up but coming down

673
00:31:09,839 --> 00:31:13,200
inside the story. So look, you know, fire department was

674
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,680
already here, so they had to go get him.

675
00:31:15,559 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 3: God, all right, tell me about this hole.

676
00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 4: This is a great hole.

677
00:31:20,039 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: We got an easy pin today though, But there's a

678
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,359
back right pin where it's a small tabletop pull pull

679
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,920
table size. Landing area goes off to the right, ball

680
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,759
goes out to the bunkers, just like here if we

681
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,240
if you hit that put too hard, you could have

682
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,039
gotten down in the bunker.

683
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: Right. So so but here you got a front pin placement.

684
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's gonna be just a little shorty today.

685
00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:47,319
It's gonna be one o three total playing one o

686
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,920
three or probably the only playing about ninety five, okay,

687
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,160
and we'd kind of like to fly it between the

688
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,400
lady putting and the hole split.

689
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 4: The difference that we don't want to aim.

690
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: If you hit this hill on the left is going

691
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:02,599
to bounce it way off to the right.

692
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,119
Speaker 4: We don't want that.

693
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,599
Speaker 2: What we've got a I like it, and maybe just

694
00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:08,960
go right out the flag and hopefully it'll be on

695
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,079
the right side when it gets there.

696
00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:12,839
Speaker 1: I've been watching my game today. Help me, what do

697
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,440
you see? Where do I need my work?

698
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,119
Speaker 3: But that's besides the point. No, that was just you

699
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:18,720
got caught.

700
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 4: We get caught.

701
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:21,759
Speaker 2: People get caught over there all the time. I brought

702
00:32:21,759 --> 00:32:24,480
my dad out here last year. He was eighty five.

703
00:32:24,519 --> 00:32:27,759
He shot his age here, Chambers Bay. I got over there.

704
00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:29,559
I made an eight on that whole plane with him.

705
00:32:29,559 --> 00:32:32,400
He beat me on the front nine out here. So

706
00:32:32,839 --> 00:32:34,720
you know, you just get in trouble over there here.

707
00:32:35,319 --> 00:32:36,519
Speaker 4: We just we just need.

708
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: It's chipping and putting and more confidence with your irons.

709
00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:43,079
I think, I mean, you hit that driver, great, that's

710
00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:45,079
your best clove in your bag, and now you make

711
00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:48,240
this one the best and these two tie in and

712
00:32:48,279 --> 00:32:48,880
then you get the.

713
00:32:48,839 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 4: Rest and move the rest.

714
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 2: You know, this guy, you got to own these two guys,

715
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:59,960
these three guys, and the approach. You've got to own

716
00:33:00,039 --> 00:33:00,640
those shops.

717
00:33:03,319 --> 00:33:06,759
Speaker 3: My only hole in one is with these guys. And

718
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:08,359
we didn't see it in two.

719
00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: Thousand and nine, and we learned a very important lesson

720
00:33:11,319 --> 00:33:14,319
that day, and that is on par three, if you

721
00:33:14,359 --> 00:33:17,000
have to pee, you wait till everyone hits. And if

722
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:19,160
you're going to you don't pee with your back to

723
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,240
the ball. Because he missed the whole thing.

724
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: I didn't miss it. You thought I went over the green.

725
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:32,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, you thought it went off the back my rented clubs. Wow,

726
00:33:32,759 --> 00:33:45,319
because Southwest Airlines lost my clubs.

727
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,319
Speaker 2: You went left anyway?

728
00:33:46,519 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 3: Left? Uh oh check it?

729
00:33:48,839 --> 00:33:54,119
Speaker 2: Check or go in anyways? Okay, that's right where we

730
00:33:54,119 --> 00:33:54,680
want to end up.

731
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 4: Anyways.

732
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, good shot, Thank you.

733
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,519
Speaker 4: Perfect with the putter.

734
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh I need.

735
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: To make this put No, no, no, I would like

736
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,119
to make this putt.

737
00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 3: I'm not going to put a need on.

738
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: It that it ever helps, right, No, No, too much pressure.

739
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,000
You get tense and you tighten up. It's like nice

740
00:34:15,039 --> 00:34:15,840
and easy nice.

741
00:34:16,039 --> 00:34:19,119
Speaker 2: That's what the long putter's for right. Take your hands

742
00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:19,559
out of it.

743
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 4: Let's them.

744
00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:22,639
Speaker 3: It's the whole idea. Yep.

745
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is makable.

746
00:34:24,519 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: You were surprised to see that. They say that close

747
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,239
to the flag it hit the left side.

748
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you had had some spin on it because it

749
00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:35,320
was it wanted to go, but it checked the second hop,

750
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:37,960
the two hop stopper, we call that.

751
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: Okay, it's about ten feet it's gonna go right to left.

752
00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 3: Yep.

753
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:52,079
Speaker 1: So when Sam sees the putt, he goes and stands over.

754
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,599
Speaker 3: It like he's putting, and that's how he sees the line,

755
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,119
which is really interesting.

756
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Michael h right on the sprinkler head and stop.

757
00:35:02,559 --> 00:35:04,119
Speaker 4: Okay, he's going to give us a read.

758
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:09,639
Speaker 3: Three, he's going to give us the read. Not a

759
00:35:09,679 --> 00:35:12,320
lot of moves. Interesting.

760
00:35:13,639 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: We got a little different angle, but it's not going

761
00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:19,159
to break any more than that. It's maybe one ball

762
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,159
on the right.

763
00:35:20,519 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 3: So you're saying one ball outside of the right.

764
00:35:22,679 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, at the very most, that's your line.

765
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 3: No turn. It all ended up two inches to the

766
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,519
right of the hole for par good thought.

767
00:35:33,559 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 2: You hit it right what we said, Yeah, I did

768
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,000
another par yep.

769
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,679
Speaker 1: As far as match play, we're going into the eighteenth

770
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,079
and you're up by one.

771
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,199
Speaker 3: Wow, these things are outrageous. This it's like.

772
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:59,679
Speaker 1: Stonehenge Chambers, Henge Chambers, Hinge. We've got a par five

773
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,199
fishing a hole and there's a lot going on in

774
00:36:02,199 --> 00:36:02,800
this hole.

775
00:36:03,159 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 3: Pretty straight away.

776
00:36:04,199 --> 00:36:06,639
Speaker 2: But we've got way steria right left center.

777
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: We've got a lot of things going on here. Yeah,

778
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,559
and this whole has a story as well.

779
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 2: Tell me, look, there's a huge bunker up here in

780
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,519
the one hundred yard range one hundred and twenty yard

781
00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:20,960
range that Mike Davis wanted Robert Trent Jones to put in,

782
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,920
and Robert Trent Jones says, no, I'm not doing that.

783
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,800
The stupidest thing I've ever seen. So he built the

784
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,280
course and left. Mike Davis came back with the back

785
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,960
home and dug this hole out and wait till you

786
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,119
see it's it's the most incredible thing.

787
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 4: You've ever seen on the golf course.

788
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 3: Since it has no business being here. No one was

789
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,800
in it during the US Open except Tiger, and you

790
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,519
were saying it was Robert tren Jones was right.

791
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 2: Of course, he was, okay, yeah, because of course it

792
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,239
doesn't have Mike Davis wanted it there because he thought

793
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,800
it would be more attractive to laying up farther back.

794
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,239
Who knows it was, just if they call it Mike

795
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,280
Davis's mistake around there.

796
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 3: Yes, so where what is my target line here?

797
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:01,679
Speaker 4: Buddy?

798
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 2: Your target line is going to be the right edge

799
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,280
of the bunker on the left that we can see. Okay,

800
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,400
see the guy walking right now?

801
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay, the second bunker on the left side,

802
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:14,719
the right edge of it.

803
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,199
Speaker 2: There's a shuttle on top of the hill. The shuttle

804
00:37:17,199 --> 00:37:20,840
halfway up. That's your target. There's boom to the right,

805
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,639
even though it doesn't look like it. Ok Yeah, Part

806
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,440
five here, good hole, good golf hole. This is where

807
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:33,079
it all happened for Jordan Speed. Okay, he says, go

808
00:37:33,159 --> 00:37:35,760
after the line all the way back.

809
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it goes back.

810
00:37:39,679 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 3: One last drive. Let's make it a good one.

811
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: And me right next to Jordan Speed's plaque where he

812
00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:49,159
hit it on Sunday.

813
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:49,599
Speaker 4: At the US Open.

814
00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, you know, he and I you're very similar.

815
00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:55,039
Speaker 2: We hang together and your games are very similar.

816
00:37:55,159 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: And he probably teed off about one hundred and twenty

817
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,360
yards behind me here.

818
00:38:00,199 --> 00:38:02,559
Speaker 2: He had a Chambers bake, caddie, you have a Chambers

819
00:38:02,599 --> 00:38:04,960
bake Cattie very similar.

820
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 3: And my caddie knows how to find my teas. Thank you.

821
00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:11,599
I didn't reach that right. I mean like I really

822
00:38:11,599 --> 00:38:16,280
shouldn't be it, should you did? I will be very

823
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,800
upset with you.

824
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 2: Well, we we want to be a little named a

825
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,960
little right of it. So it did bounce left on you.

826
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,440
You hit it perfectly where we said. Okay, we just

827
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,559
got a bad bounce. Welcome to golf.

828
00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 3: Right.

829
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,199
Speaker 4: No, you hit it on the line exactly what we wanted.

830
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,559
Speaker 2: It just bounces left and said right, it should still

831
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:35,239
be right next to the George it was.

832
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 3: It's good drive for the eighteenth pole.

833
00:38:38,159 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a three shotthold no matter what. Anyways, after

834
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,239
that bunker I'm telling you about, it's just right in

835
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,920
the way for the average player from the tour players

836
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,320
hadn't didn't belong there.

837
00:38:49,559 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: There's some sort of party going on with these mad

838
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:55,000
Max characters like doom Buggies.

839
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:57,519
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't see.

840
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,559
Speaker 4: Me hit it two feet too far?

841
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 2: Oh?

842
00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 3: No, did I hit go too far?

843
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,639
Speaker 1: Is that a ball in the edge right in the

844
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:13,480
front there, We're off it. Sam's giving me a thumbs

845
00:39:13,559 --> 00:39:14,800
up by an inch.

846
00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:18,119
Speaker 3: It's like that. I really may go. Well, I have

847
00:39:18,159 --> 00:39:18,679
a stance.

848
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 4: I don't know.

849
00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:23,079
Speaker 1: This is not the first time this has happened to

850
00:39:23,199 --> 00:39:24,800
us today that I'm just like just.

851
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 3: On the edge.

852
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 4: Yeah. So here's the Jordan speeds black.

853
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 3: Oh, let's take a picture.

854
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: It says here June twenty first, twenty fifteen US Open

855
00:39:33,559 --> 00:39:36,159
Final around Jordan Speed three wood.

856
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 3: Oh I had driver. Oh look like that.

857
00:39:38,079 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 4: He hit three wood from there onto the green.

858
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 3: Oh, three wood to the green. Oh. Boy, it's on

859
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:43,679
a downslope.

860
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,119
Speaker 2: But we're laying up anyways. It's you know, we're hitting

861
00:39:46,159 --> 00:39:48,639
like a nine or eight iron. Anyways. I can't be

862
00:39:48,679 --> 00:39:50,559
in that bunker I'm telling you about. You can just

863
00:39:50,559 --> 00:39:52,760
see it now. We cannot be in that. So we're

864
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,400
gonna do like nine eight iron. You're going to have

865
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,840
a tough stance. So we're just punching eight iron or something. Yeah,

866
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,480
we just got to stay out of that bunker. I

867
00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:02,679
just don't like your stance here.

868
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 3: Oh, I think Mike just went in it.

869
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 4: Mike may have just went in it.

870
00:40:06,079 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 2: So that means we doublely don't want to go in

871
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,000
definitely don't want to go in it. Yes, with your

872
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,519
bad stance, We're just gonna hit whatever we can get

873
00:40:13,559 --> 00:40:14,519
going that direction.

874
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,639
Speaker 3: So how far is it to the bunker?

875
00:40:17,519 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 2: It'd be one sixty to get in it from here?

876
00:40:20,199 --> 00:40:22,039
Speaker 3: Wait, I see two. But the one that he just

877
00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:24,760
went in is the Mike Davis. Yes, okay, that's one sixty.

878
00:40:25,039 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one fifty.

879
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:27,519
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, one fifty.

880
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 3: So just you're saying eight iron, eight or nine.

881
00:40:29,639 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 2: Iron, we're just get it right right at the shack,

882
00:40:31,519 --> 00:40:33,440
right at the guy in the cart there, okay, and

883
00:40:33,559 --> 00:40:35,239
just downhill once we get over this bunker.

884
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 4: It's downhill. It's gonna roll all the way out.

885
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 3: Okay, So let's go take a stance with the nine.

886
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,079
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's a good stance. We can go with

887
00:40:43,079 --> 00:40:44,719
the eight. But I just came.

888
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,159
Speaker 3: You got to I've got one. I've got no stands,

889
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,400
got no stan you got chucked way up on the bunker.

890
00:40:49,599 --> 00:40:51,159
Speaker 2: Just punch it out so.

891
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 3: Well, but I got to get it in the air.

892
00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:56,360
Oh boy, oh boy, this is not good.

893
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 4: Oh man, this is gonna be You want to wedge?

894
00:41:01,639 --> 00:41:04,559
Speaker 1: Do I what's the advantage if I have a wedge here?

895
00:41:05,039 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 2: Shorter club because the bowls are so far above your

896
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,840
feet or maybe even yeah, I mean, alls we want

897
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,039
to do is get over this bunker.

898
00:41:13,079 --> 00:41:14,559
Speaker 4: We can't can't be in it.

899
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: But I'm really got to choke down. Oh boy, Okay,

900
00:41:20,159 --> 00:41:21,639
I think we're good. I think we can do it

901
00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:21,880
with this.

902
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 3: Okay.

903
00:41:27,039 --> 00:41:31,679

904
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,079
Speaker 3: Oh he liked it.

905
00:41:33,159 --> 00:41:34,559
Speaker 4: Glad we went back to that wedge.

906
00:41:34,639 --> 00:41:35,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you.

907
00:41:36,559 --> 00:41:39,199
Speaker 2: And you really that's that was pretty good show. It

908
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,599
might be the best shot of today difficulty.

909
00:41:41,079 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 3: Wise, Well, what a time to do it.

910
00:41:44,039 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 4: Yep.

911
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 2: Now we can get there in three and have ourselves

00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:47,519
a birdie pot.

913
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,159
Speaker 3: So how far do you think I'm left out?

914
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: Probably be about one fifty? Okay, middle pin today.

00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:13,840
size area where they put these pins.

922
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,039
Speaker 1: Oh boy, we'll be left it right on top of

Speaker 2: That's golf.

940
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 3: That's golf.

941
00:43:14,039 --> 00:43:18,679
Speaker 2: That should be you, Sandwidge.

942
00:43:20,679 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: Where is the flag? Where am I going? Just the

943
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,840
right of that rake, to the right of the rake. Yep,

944
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,320
right out of the rake, going over the stairs. No,

945
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,039
the rake, and you're sixty yards. It's a sixty five

946
00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:35,440
yard shot. That's pretty good.

947
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 3: Oh good, you liked it.

948
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 4: Oh you had some backspin.

949
00:43:40,679 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 3: Oh I had some back spin.

950
00:43:43,599 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 4: I like it.

951
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 3: On L four and he's handing me my potter.

952
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, got a chance at par here?

953
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 3: Is that me way over there?

954
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, just missed by a couple of feet. See how

955
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,920
small that area is though. I believe that was a

956
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,159
Sunday pin. This is for five.

957
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 3: It's a long way away.

958
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,519
Speaker 1: It's sixty three feet, but then it goes and play.

959
00:44:07,599 --> 00:44:09,480
It's uphill, so it's going and then if it goes

960
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:10,960
past the hole, then it's gone.

961
00:44:11,119 --> 00:44:13,639
Speaker 2: So you can't get it past the little obviously right.

962
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:19,239
Sixty three yeah, sixty five feet, be fine. It's gonna

963
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,639
go left, but not till the end.

964
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So where do I want to get it too?

965
00:44:25,639 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna start one foot on the right, and you've

966
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,119
got you know, you've got to see you you saw

967
00:44:29,159 --> 00:44:29,639
what happens.

968
00:44:29,679 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 4: You've got to hit this. You got it. We've had

969
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:33,559
this length before.

970
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I stin't go past the flag. Okay, I didn't

971
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:45,199
hurt myself. We've got fifteen feet left.

972
00:44:44,639 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 3: And one cup right, Yeah, come and left.

973
00:44:48,599 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: The distance or short bet up the hill a little bit,

974
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,639
just a tad uphill, oh, a little bit up.

975
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 2: Yes, you still don't look like it. You are waters behind.

976
00:44:57,679 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: Us to hit it.

977
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 3: Sam. Thanks, Fred, I really enjoyed for moping for me.

978
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:10,920
You had a great job.

979
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 2: It was a lot of fun with shit you coming

980
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:17,159
out to Chambers Bay.

981
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: So I've only used a caddy a handful of times,

982
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,639
and Sam was actually one of the best at knowing

983
00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:28,119
the course, reading the greens, and keeping the conversation interesting

984
00:45:28,159 --> 00:45:31,400
and moving throughout the entire round. And it was really

985
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,159
impressed that he was able to carry my bag as

986
00:45:35,159 --> 00:45:38,079
opposed to switching all my clubs into his lightweight bag,

987
00:45:38,119 --> 00:45:41,760
which is what happened to when I was abandoned Dunes

988
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,119
and our caddy was caring for two players each and

989
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,400
I couldn't bring all the stuff that I generally go

990
00:45:48,519 --> 00:45:52,559
to during a round because it created too much weight.

991
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 3: So this worked out well.

992
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: And my friend Michael had never used a caddy before

993
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,320
and when I told him that it was a possibility,

994
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,159
he was a big con but it.

995
00:46:01,079 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 3: All worked out.

996
00:46:02,679 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: This week's Golf Smarter Ambassador was Greg Clark of Leicestershire, England,

997
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,880
and he did a beautiful job of recording his show

998
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,840
opening on his phone and sending me the file.

999
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:12,159
Speaker 4: It was.

1000
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,639
Speaker 1: It's that easy to get a free gift and show

1001
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:18,440
your support of Golf Smarter. Either record it on your

1002
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,800
phone like Greg did, or leave it as a voicemail

1003
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:21,599
on our toll.

1004
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:22,639
Speaker 3: Free listener line.

1005
00:46:23,039 --> 00:46:25,199
Speaker 1: Please I'd like to invite you to be a golf

1006
