Speaker 1: nationwide tour and you're like, this guy's got he's got
Speaker 1: the potential to make it.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, they qualified, so they got there, So
Speaker 2: they weren't good enough to get there. It's just you
Speaker 2: have to make the money. You have to make cut, right,
Speaker 2: And a lot of these guys four or five tournaments out,
Speaker 2: missed the cut. Every time they're gone. Never heard of
Speaker 2: them again.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, that's terrible.

Speaker 2: people who can't see it's about eight hundred feet missing landscape.
Speaker 2: It was that high and went all the way to
Speaker 2: the water that high.
Speaker 3: Like the elevation change in this course.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And it was building a walking course, yeah, walking only
Speaker 2: traditional link style usually get a little breeze in the evenings.
Speaker 2: Not today though.
Speaker 3: No, the weather's been unbelievable. It's overcast all day.

Speaker 1: maybe most seventies.
Speaker 3: Is kind of humid.
Speaker 4: That was perfect.
Speaker 3: No wind, no rain, just clouds. The sun hasn't been
Speaker 3: too overbearing. It's been really a beautiful day, round blast
Speaker 3: and it's fun playing with a caddy. It's it's not

Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know, great, but.
Speaker 3: I mean there's a very famous name associated with that golf. Yes.
Speaker 2: I did get to caddy for mister Palmer several times
Speaker 2: over this course of six years. But you didn't do
Speaker 2: much for Arnold. He just drove the cart, break the bunkers,
Speaker 2: clean the.
Speaker 3: Ball in the clubs and he never asked no.
Speaker 2: I had him right after he turned seventy, so twenty
Speaker 2: five years ago or something, and he shot seventy one
Speaker 2: and we get done. I said, man, you could have
Speaker 2: one more.
Speaker 4: You could have shot seventy for me.
Speaker 2: He says, well, like you had anything to do with it,
Speaker 2: because I didn't.
Speaker 4: He didn't read it.
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't do What are you going to
Speaker 2: tell him? He built the place right exactly. It was
Speaker 2: pretty pretty cool, pretty cool comeback.
Speaker 3: And but overall was he fun to be on the course?
Speaker 2: We well, yeah, he just he was out there every day.
Speaker 2: They had a shootout. They had a little skin type
Speaker 2: of game and then draw crowd around the first t
Speaker 2: and he'd meet everybody, go meet him, and they had
Speaker 2: a it was a large so they'd meet him in
Speaker 2: the dining area bar. So he come talk to everybody. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he just he was proud of that place, which he
Speaker 2: should have been. Outstanding golf course, is it? Yeah, one
Speaker 2: of the best I've ever been on, really, especially tournament time.
Speaker 2: When the tournament comes around, it just turns into a
Speaker 2: US Open. I mean first it's a regular country club
Speaker 2: resort course, and then all of a sudden, boom, the
Speaker 2: rough goes up, the greens get fast.
Speaker 3: Huh, and we're walking up to the green. Now I
Speaker 3: am on the green. Great shot, Mike, Yep, we're putting.
Speaker 3: We are putting. I'm definitely on the green. Looks pretty strange.
Speaker 3: What do you see?
Speaker 2: It's going right a little bit, fred much?
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not a lot.
Speaker 2: Let's take a look from the other side, like the
Speaker 2: pros do it.
Speaker 3: Thirty three feet?
Speaker 4: Is this going left or right? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 3: Sam just conferred with the other caddy.
Speaker 4: Yep, there's no doubt about definitely.
Speaker 2: The first intuition is usually right played about a cup?
Speaker 3: About a cup to the left, Okay, a pill a pill?
Speaker 1: So thirty five feet all right, let's see what happens
Speaker 1: using my lab golf.
Speaker 3: Do you have three point zero broomstick? Turn now, turn
Speaker 3: out dead straight street, just a narrow good putt.
Speaker 4: We gamed.
Speaker 3: And I made it for park good part.
Speaker 2: Thank you take that every day on this whole.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Michael's putt, yes up and down? Nice, Mike zep for.
Speaker 2: Pretty good up and down though I want to last
Speaker 2: shot good Yeah, one one, two touched that four. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought I'd finally beat you on a hole
Speaker 1: in the back.
Speaker 4: Mic.
Speaker 2: I guess a tough beat right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's playing out of his mind right now. Mike's
Speaker 1: went over after in the back nine the verse five.
Speaker 3: Not me, but I can do better. After the front nine, you.
Speaker 1: Were like, who do you mean You're an eleven handicap
Speaker 1: in too many parts?
Speaker 3: I guess the back n have been looking like an
Speaker 3: eleven handicap.
Speaker 4: Of course we'll do that to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were one whole number four just ate me alive.
Speaker 1: So we were starting to talk about the history of
Speaker 1: this course. Yeah, so can you tell me?
Speaker 3: So they built the specific for the US Open.
Speaker 2: There's a guy named John Lauderbaki comes out, takes different
Speaker 2: caddies and tells the stories about building it with Robert
Speaker 2: Trent Jones Stop doing and Mike Davis of the USGA.
Speaker 2: Back then, So there was a lot of collaboration, a
Speaker 2: lot of moving dirt. They moved a lot of dirt,
Speaker 2: but they didn't you know, they didn't have to bring
Speaker 2: anything in. It was just basically all here. It was
Speaker 2: Blank's late really and he turned it into this. There's
Speaker 2: a picture in the clubhouse. When you go back, you
Speaker 2: might want to could take a look at it by
Speaker 2: the restaurant. It's from you know, super High and it's
Speaker 2: just white. There's just nothing here at all.
Speaker 1: But does it accommodate I guess it does accommodate fans
Speaker 1: lining because there's.
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's pretty difficult for walking as you can
Speaker 2: see these little hills and stuff on theist and ankles,
Speaker 2: so it's a tough walk. It's a seven mile hike
Speaker 2: in the middle of the fairway anyways.
Speaker 1: So this is a walking only course and it's seven
Speaker 1: miles yep. Yeah, and you do have the elevation.
Speaker 4: Check up and down this hill four times.
Speaker 3: All right. Where we headed next And it's a signature
Speaker 3: whole fifteen Part three.
Speaker 2: It's got our loane fur in the background and it's
Speaker 2: it's on.
Speaker 1: All the logos because of the single tree a little Nazareth.
Speaker 3: Is this a hole you see a lot of holes
Speaker 3: in one.
Speaker 4: I've seen one. I hear a story. There's one.
Speaker 2: Probably there's probably five to six a year, wouldn't you say, Tyler?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was you saying? There's a with a back
Speaker 3: left pin.
Speaker 2: We've got a backstop so you can hit the ball
Speaker 2: past the hole and roll back and that's how they
Speaker 2: make your hole in ones here.
Speaker 3: Oh, I see it sloped from back to front.
Speaker 2: On the left big time. Yeah, we can do it
Speaker 2: with this flag. We lost this green two winters ago.
Speaker 2: We had some pipes break up there on the left,
Speaker 2: dug out the canyon four.
Speaker 4: Feet deep, four feet wide all the way through the green.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: So it was a seventeen whole course for about six
Speaker 2: months because there's no place to put a temp.
Speaker 1: Well, I think this would be a good place as
Speaker 1: any Yep, this is nice to take a picture.
Speaker 3: Together, Absolutely perfect, and let.
Speaker 1: Me get a shot of you. Gotta have the tree
Speaker 1: in the background. Absolutely nice, got it? So what story
Speaker 1: of this this tree that we're looking at here all by?
Speaker 3: It's lonesome. The last one.
Speaker 2: I don't know if there was many, Like I said,
Speaker 2: it was blank, But there is a story here.
Speaker 4: One of the stories.
Speaker 3: There's several stories. The one I hear, no.
Speaker 2: Not yet, but uh one that I One of the
Speaker 2: stories I hear is discrimbled employee tried to chop it down. Ooh,
Speaker 2: and they brought an arborist out to try to see
Speaker 2: if they could save it. And he said, a good
Speaker 2: thing I came because the tree was actually dying at
Speaker 2: the time. So they saved it and put a little
Speaker 2: fence around it. Now I don't know if that's true,
Speaker 2: and I don't know how they found out it was
Speaker 2: a discriunbled employee. He must have been telling the wrong
Speaker 2: people or on.
Speaker 3: The employee with a twelve case of beer right on
Speaker 3: the beach side.
Speaker 1: Oh and a guy found the employee drag a bunch.
Speaker 3: He cut the tree down. Okay, well that's how we
Speaker 3: can do it with an axe of like power sided. Yeah.
Speaker 3: He was there probably for forty five minutes with an
Speaker 3: action and got tired.
Speaker 1: Yeah, forty five minutes out there with an axe, got tired.
Speaker 3: He was drunk.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: I like that story.
Speaker 2: I'm that part too. It I didn't have it before.
Speaker 2: You see, the more you come out here, the more
Speaker 2: you learn, all.
Speaker 1: Right, So from these tea's this looks like I got
Speaker 1: one twenty on my watch. It's twenty five to the
Speaker 1: pin when twenty factual it's way downhill.
Speaker 4: Usually against the wind. We can't feel it.
Speaker 2: The water's clear. I mean it looks like glass. There
Speaker 2: is a little there's a wind. Very we're going to
Speaker 2: play the number twenty five? Yeah, because you can't be short.
Speaker 1: Okay, no, no, because it's just nothing but waste stereo
Speaker 1: between here and there.
Speaker 3: Although we are elevated by how much I.
Speaker 2: Think it's if it was the scope, it's twelve yards down,
Speaker 2: so it's eighteen feet or something like that. We're like
Speaker 2: thirty feet yeah, six yeah, thirty feet. So but like
Speaker 2: I said, if we don't play it much and here's
Speaker 2: our one.
Speaker 1: Of the beautiful things is that we've seen on this
Speaker 1: chorus is we're right up against the water.
Speaker 3: What water is this? This is a south sound, Puget sound.
Speaker 3: This is a south sound.
Speaker 1: And one of the sounds we're gonna hear in just
Speaker 1: about a minute is train's been going.
Speaker 3: By all day long.
Speaker 1: They're just they're long trains too, right, sixty a day,
Speaker 1: sixty trains.
Speaker 3: A day, yes, and they're they're not like commuter trains,
Speaker 3: although that will come by. There is an abtract now
Speaker 3: I see it. But yeah, it's freight and it's they're big,
Speaker 3: and there's a port.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: This one's short this okay, so it could.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it might just be engines.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna play a nine iron here.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, there's more behind it. Ah, oh, here we go.
Speaker 1: There's some flat cars behind it. So one, two, three, four, Yeah, engines,
Speaker 1: a lot of flat cars coming.
Speaker 3: I love it. All right, I'll go.
Speaker 2: So we're aiming right at the logo tree there the
Speaker 2: left of the flag.
Speaker 1: Left of the flag at the tree. Okay, got it.
Speaker 1: It's been so much fun having a caddy going Yeah,
Speaker 1: just a little bit.
Speaker 3: Don't go right at the flag. I love that.
Speaker 1: It's going right to the flag, but it's coming back
Speaker 1: a little bit. Distance is good.
Speaker 3: Oh no. So I went past the flag.
Speaker 1: To the back edge of the green and it looks
Speaker 1: like it's sitting on the lip to the bunker.
Speaker 3: Shoot.
Speaker 4: That went a long way.
Speaker 3: That went a long way.
Speaker 4: Hmm.
Speaker 3: One of the things that I love too.
Speaker 1: I really enjoy talking to caddies on the shows because
Speaker 1: caddies always have great stories and challenge has been set.
Speaker 3: What do you got for me? You know, it's like
Speaker 3: on this course, what's the craziest thing you see?
Speaker 2: I have a gentleman from New York Upper West Side.
Speaker 4: He had about one hundred and fifty balls in his bag.
Speaker 2: It was my second loop of the day, so I
Speaker 2: was just a smidge in late, so I didn't get
Speaker 2: a chance to see the bag and check it out,
Speaker 2: so they just put it on a cart. He hit
Speaker 2: two or three T shirts on every hole. There were
Speaker 2: three someome two guys in him, paired up ninety degrees outside,
Speaker 2: no hat, no sunglasses, no sunscreen, nothing. He hit the
Speaker 2: ball into the waste area, which we have a lot
Speaker 2: of here. Yeah, and I will you know, I'm not
Speaker 2: going down there if we HiT's your third ball? So
Speaker 2: he would go down there and he would actually start.
Speaker 3: Hunting for balls, and he already had one hundred in
Speaker 3: his bag.
Speaker 2: Oh and needless to say, it was a long day.
Speaker 4: I should have because it.
Speaker 2: Turned out to be one of those you know, I
Speaker 2: don't have any cash, sir, Sonny, here's your here's your feet,
Speaker 2: no tip, and like, okay, oh that was it was
Speaker 2: a rough one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my roughest one out here.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I had a lot of good ones out here though,
Speaker 2: because it's such a grand place. It's just gorgeous and
Speaker 2: people are real happy to play it.
Speaker 4: You know. It's a US open course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's only so many of those out there, right.
Speaker 4: That you can just come out and play.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, did I get lucky? Yes, we did look
Speaker 3: at this.
Speaker 4: We might put that.
Speaker 3: Oh man, it just it's just inches.
Speaker 1: We should have this inch and a half from falling
Speaker 1: into the waste area.
Speaker 3: I guess I should put this.
Speaker 4: No, maybe your little hybrid or something.
Speaker 3: You know what I like doing. Give me my eight iron.
Speaker 4: Okay, there you go. Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1: No, And I'm gonna just, you know, I go toe
Speaker 1: up and do a putting motion on it, just to
Speaker 1: get it off the ground.
Speaker 3: A little bit.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then I see it's going to a downhill. But
Speaker 1: is it gonna go left to right?
Speaker 4: You gotta go left.
Speaker 3: It's gonna go left.
Speaker 2: It's got to Yeah, it's going left. Not a lot,

Speaker 2: California for six years. Okay, did some house flipping, reconstructions,
Speaker 2: all that good stuff.
Speaker 3: But it was like, get me back to the well.
Speaker 2: I just yeah, just I played golf obviously, but I
Speaker 2: knew I could play better, and with less on my mind,
Speaker 2: I played better. I'm playing the best golf of my
Speaker 2: life at sixty two years old, right.
Speaker 4: Now, with that right as we speak.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a lot of it is out here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my life is, and it's not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not an easy course, and I'm very impressed
Speaker 1: that it's sixty two years old.
Speaker 3: You're carrying it. You took my bag.
Speaker 1: I mean when I went to Banded Dunes they took
Speaker 1: everything out of.
Speaker 3: My bag and carried their own. But you're cherry in mind. Well,
Speaker 3: it's just light enough to carry.
Speaker 4: It's just right on the borderline.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just one bag.
Speaker 4: I don't have to worry about anybody else.
Speaker 3: Right, if there was two.
Speaker 4: Like that, we'd never do it.
Speaker 1: I'd never do it, right, all right, Well, Michael made
Speaker 1: it out of a junk, but he may did about
Speaker 1: ten yards past.
Speaker 3: This train is still don't go man, Sixty trains a day. Amazing.
Speaker 1: So tomorrow we're gonna be playing uh up at Willow's Run.
Speaker 1: There's two courses that we're gonna play. The Eagles talent
Speaker 1: you know that course I've played them.
Speaker 2: I don't remember if they didn't stick out to me.
Speaker 2: And that's except the play slow.
Speaker 4: Pace of play was a little slow.
Speaker 3: Well, today has not been quick. Nope, I mean.
Speaker 4: You'll be used to that.
Speaker 3: So here it's six o'clock. Now we're on five sixteen
Speaker 3: five hours.
Speaker 2: We got three to two and a half to go,
Speaker 2: two and a half to go.
Speaker 3: Old boy, am I going to get in trouble.
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to meet my wife for dinner at six thirty.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be late. Oh well, is this me? Or
Speaker 1: this could be this looks close to the edge of
Speaker 1: falling off.
Speaker 3: Nope, not me, Nope.
Speaker 4: You know I'm going position.
Speaker 2: A and the flag is on the right edge all
Speaker 2: the way back. This is Sunday pin. This is the
Speaker 2: stuff as it gets on this hole.
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: This is me. This is my shot. Scope says ninety
Speaker 3: seven to the center, one twenty one.
Speaker 4: To the back, one eighteen ten.
Speaker 1: It's not I want to probably go sure to that,
Speaker 1: So the one ten shot, yep, pitching bunch and go
Speaker 1: for the center of the green.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: I was recently told that, of course, had around where
Speaker 3: they just pulled all the flags and.
Speaker 1: Just hit to the middle, just hit to the middle,
Speaker 1: and mare golfers hit greens in regulation and usual.
Speaker 4: That's a great statistic. Yeah, that is great to hear.
Speaker 1: Get up, come on, come on, that's right, stay there, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm on the green right, yep, we're putting. We're putting
Speaker 1: another green in regulation, another one in green and regulation
Speaker 1: and fairway.
Speaker 2: If I R and a g I R here, let's
Speaker 2: get to make try to.
Speaker 3: Make some putts. What's your all time favorite course?
Speaker 1: I mean, you've played so many and you flew this.
Speaker 4: This is creeping up there.
Speaker 3: Really. Well, the more you play, the.
Speaker 2: More I even just carrying it, the more I'm on it,
Speaker 2: It's creaking up there. The best course I've ever played,
Speaker 2: still though, hands down is Shinnecock Hills.
Speaker 4: Really I got on there.
Speaker 2: I was working in Calforia, Palm Desert, Tameris Country Club.
Speaker 2: We drove a member's car back from there Palm Desert
Speaker 2: to he he lived in uh, Connecticut, Jambury, Connecticut. So
Speaker 2: he loaded up his car with dishes and stuff and
Speaker 2: me and another guy we had a PGA. He had
Speaker 2: a PGA card, so we called. He called the head said, hey,
Speaker 2: we're gonna prooce. We're going to be Can we come
Speaker 2: play your course? I'm sure enough. They did the reciprocal
Speaker 2: So we take his Mercedes all the way across the
Speaker 2: country from Palm Desert straight driving, didn't stop. Switch had
Speaker 2: taking terms straight to Shinnecock Hills. T off first thing
Speaker 2: in the morning. It beats us up, but it was
Speaker 2: something to behold why because it's it was just grand.
Speaker 2: It was just you knew the history of it. And
Speaker 2: it was tough. It was very very hard, and I
Speaker 2: was I was a decent player. Then I was a two, but.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't remember what you shot.
Speaker 4: I shot eighty eight.
Speaker 2: Wow, But I did get out of the car driving
Speaker 2: across the country.
Speaker 4: But still I broke ninety.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 1: Well, that was my goal for today to try to
Speaker 1: break ninety. Okay, because I knew this course was not
Speaker 1: going to be easy, and this putt is not going.
Speaker 2: To be easy because it's not the one we wanted.
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm too far over.
Speaker 4: It's almost chippable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you had that, well, and I can't go
Speaker 1: too far left because it's going to.
Speaker 3: Go left and then down a hill with a bunker.
Speaker 1: There's a bunker there I can't go, and then there's
Speaker 1: a it looks like a sprinkler head.
Speaker 2: We're really going to just be happy with fifteen feet here?
Speaker 4: Oh boy?
Speaker 3: Am I going to go just inside the sprinkler head?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I don't mind you going up.
Speaker 3: There, because it's going to come back around.
Speaker 4: It's going to be holland though.
Speaker 2: You know, for you to get it to the top,
Speaker 2: it's going to be it's going to be moving pretty fast,
Speaker 2: and it's downhill and away.
Speaker 4: We might want to.
Speaker 2: Hit three quarters of the way there and aim right
Speaker 2: at it and just be happy with over here and
Speaker 2: not in the bunker long because there's a bunker behind here.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of putts go in the bunker
Speaker 2: from here, a lot of shots.
Speaker 3: So I just want to get it over that mound.
Speaker 2: Yep, barely and just let it trickle out. But you
Speaker 2: gotta give it to that dark spot just right at
Speaker 2: the sprinkler head. We're still going to that dark spot
Speaker 2: right right.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, this is treacherous, to say the least. This
Speaker 3: is ugly.
Speaker 1: So I want to get it up over that and
Speaker 1: that's about thirty feet and then it's going to drop
Speaker 1: down onto the green and then don't want to have
Speaker 1: too much speed.
Speaker 3: Uh oh, that's not good at all. I was way
Speaker 3: right of the mark and.
Speaker 4: It just turns to the thing is you just can't
Speaker 4: put it.
Speaker 3: I'm still in the green.
Speaker 1: Probably a two put it's pretty straight going right at
Speaker 1: the end.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right at his ball and is it downhill?
Speaker 4: Yeah, not a lot.
Speaker 3: Get in another bogie Michael six.
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's two with two to go, we were
Speaker 1: tied three three at the front. This is a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure here. What is the story with those structures
Speaker 1: that used to be.
Speaker 4: So this was you know, rock Quarry.
Speaker 2: So those are the separation bins where they separate the
Speaker 2: rocks by size, and there's a track going underneath, the
Speaker 2: railroad track going underneath connected to these tracks and also
Speaker 2: connected to the barges.
Speaker 4: And it would send the rock out that way.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: So they left it.
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of it was demoed, but they
Speaker 2: left all this kind of give it that stick.
Speaker 4: Look.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a pretty compelling look.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Some guy climbed up there during the US Open. Oh
Speaker 2: and of course you can go up but coming down
Speaker 2: inside the story. So look, you know, fire department was
Speaker 2: already here, so they had to go get him.
Speaker 3: God, all right, tell me about this hole.
Speaker 4: This is a great hole.
Speaker 2: We got an easy pin today though, But there's a
Speaker 2: back right pin where it's a small tabletop pull pull
Speaker 2: table size. Landing area goes off to the right, ball
Speaker 2: goes out to the bunkers, just like here if we
Speaker 2: if you hit that put too hard, you could have
Speaker 2: gotten down in the bunker.
Speaker 3: Right. So so but here you got a front pin placement.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's gonna be just a little shorty today.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be one o three total playing one o
Speaker 2: three or probably the only playing about ninety five, okay,
Speaker 2: and we'd kind of like to fly it between the
Speaker 2: lady putting and the hole split.
Speaker 4: The difference that we don't want to aim.
Speaker 2: If you hit this hill on the left is going
Speaker 2: to bounce it way off to the right.
Speaker 4: We don't want that.
Speaker 2: What we've got a I like it, and maybe just
Speaker 2: go right out the flag and hopefully it'll be on
Speaker 2: the right side when it gets there.
Speaker 1: I've been watching my game today. Help me, what do
Speaker 1: you see? Where do I need my work?
Speaker 3: But that's besides the point. No, that was just you
Speaker 3: got caught.
Speaker 4: We get caught.
Speaker 2: People get caught over there all the time. I brought
Speaker 2: my dad out here last year. He was eighty five.
Speaker 2: He shot his age here, Chambers Bay. I got over there.
Speaker 2: I made an eight on that whole plane with him.
Speaker 2: He beat me on the front nine out here. So
Speaker 2: you know, you just get in trouble over there here.
Speaker 4: We just we just need.
Speaker 2: It's chipping and putting and more confidence with your irons.
Speaker 2: I think, I mean, you hit that driver, great, that's
Speaker 2: your best clove in your bag, and now you make
Speaker 2: this one the best and these two tie in and
Speaker 2: then you get the.
Speaker 4: Rest and move the rest.
Speaker 2: You know, this guy, you got to own these two guys,
Speaker 2: these three guys, and the approach. You've got to own
Speaker 2: those shops.
Speaker 3: My only hole in one is with these guys. And
Speaker 3: we didn't see it in two.
Speaker 1: Thousand and nine, and we learned a very important lesson
Speaker 1: that day, and that is on par three, if you
Speaker 1: have to pee, you wait till everyone hits. And if
Speaker 1: you're going to you don't pee with your back to
Speaker 1: the ball. Because he missed the whole thing.
Speaker 3: I didn't miss it. You thought I went over the green.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you thought it went off the back my rented clubs. Wow,
Speaker 1: because Southwest Airlines lost my clubs.
Speaker 2: You went left anyway?
Speaker 3: Left? Uh oh check it?
Speaker 2: Check or go in anyways? Okay, that's right where we
Speaker 2: want to end up.
Speaker 4: Anyways.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good shot, Thank you.
Speaker 4: Perfect with the putter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh I need.
Speaker 1: To make this put No, no, no, I would like
Speaker 1: to make this putt.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to put a need on.
Speaker 1: It that it ever helps, right, No, No, too much pressure.
Speaker 1: You get tense and you tighten up. It's like nice
Speaker 1: and easy nice.
Speaker 2: That's what the long putter's for right. Take your hands
Speaker 2: out of it.
Speaker 4: Let's them.
Speaker 3: It's the whole idea. Yep.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is makable.
Speaker 1: You were surprised to see that. They say that close
Speaker 1: to the flag it hit the left side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you had had some spin on it because it
Speaker 2: was it wanted to go, but it checked the second hop,
Speaker 2: the two hop stopper, we call that.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's about ten feet it's gonna go right to left.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: So when Sam sees the putt, he goes and stands over.
Speaker 3: It like he's putting, and that's how he sees the line,
Speaker 3: which is really interesting.
Speaker 1: Okay, Michael h right on the sprinkler head and stop.
Speaker 4: Okay, he's going to give us a read.
Speaker 3: Three, he's going to give us the read. Not a
Speaker 3: lot of moves. Interesting.
Speaker 2: We got a little different angle, but it's not going
Speaker 2: to break any more than that. It's maybe one ball
Speaker 2: on the right.
Speaker 3: So you're saying one ball outside of the right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, at the very most, that's your line.
Speaker 3: No turn. It all ended up two inches to the
Speaker 3: right of the hole for par good thought.
Speaker 2: You hit it right what we said, Yeah, I did
Speaker 2: another par yep.
Speaker 1: As far as match play, we're going into the eighteenth
Speaker 1: and you're up by one.
Speaker 3: Wow, these things are outrageous. This it's like.
Speaker 1: Stonehenge Chambers, Henge Chambers, Hinge. We've got a par five
Speaker 1: fishing a hole and there's a lot going on in
Speaker 1: this hole.
Speaker 3: Pretty straight away.
Speaker 2: But we've got way steria right left center.
Speaker 3: We've got a lot of things going on here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and this whole has a story as well.
Speaker 2: Tell me, look, there's a huge bunker up here in
Speaker 2: the one hundred yard range one hundred and twenty yard
Speaker 2: range that Mike Davis wanted Robert Trent Jones to put in,
Speaker 2: and Robert Trent Jones says, no, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: The stupidest thing I've ever seen. So he built the
Speaker 2: course and left. Mike Davis came back with the back
Speaker 2: home and dug this hole out and wait till you
Speaker 2: see it's it's the most incredible thing.
Speaker 4: You've ever seen on the golf course.
Speaker 3: Since it has no business being here. No one was
Speaker 3: in it during the US Open except Tiger, and you
Speaker 3: were saying it was Robert tren Jones was right.
Speaker 2: Of course, he was, okay, yeah, because of course it
Speaker 2: doesn't have Mike Davis wanted it there because he thought
Speaker 2: it would be more attractive to laying up farther back.
Speaker 2: Who knows it was, just if they call it Mike
Speaker 2: Davis's mistake around there.
Speaker 3: Yes, so where what is my target line here?
Speaker 4: Buddy?
Speaker 2: Your target line is going to be the right edge
Speaker 2: of the bunker on the left that we can see. Okay,
Speaker 2: see the guy walking right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay, the second bunker on the left side,
Speaker 1: the right edge of it.
Speaker 2: There's a shuttle on top of the hill. The shuttle
Speaker 2: halfway up. That's your target. There's boom to the right,
Speaker 2: even though it doesn't look like it. Ok Yeah, Part
Speaker 2: five here, good hole, good golf hole. This is where
Speaker 2: it all happened for Jordan Speed. Okay, he says, go
Speaker 2: after the line all the way back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it goes back.
Speaker 3: One last drive. Let's make it a good one.
Speaker 2: And me right next to Jordan Speed's plaque where he
Speaker 2: hit it on Sunday.
Speaker 4: At the US Open.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, you know, he and I you're very similar.
Speaker 2: We hang together and your games are very similar.
Speaker 1: And he probably teed off about one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: yards behind me here.
Speaker 2: He had a Chambers bake, caddie, you have a Chambers
Speaker 2: bake Cattie very similar.
Speaker 3: And my caddie knows how to find my teas. Thank you.
Speaker 3: I didn't reach that right. I mean like I really
Speaker 3: shouldn't be it, should you did? I will be very
Speaker 3: upset with you.
Speaker 2: Well, we we want to be a little named a
Speaker 2: little right of it. So it did bounce left on you.
Speaker 2: You hit it perfectly where we said. Okay, we just
Speaker 2: got a bad bounce. Welcome to golf.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: No, you hit it on the line exactly what we wanted.
Speaker 2: It just bounces left and said right, it should still
Speaker 2: be right next to the George it was.
Speaker 3: It's good drive for the eighteenth pole.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a three shotthold no matter what. Anyways, after
Speaker 2: that bunker I'm telling you about, it's just right in
Speaker 2: the way for the average player from the tour players
Speaker 2: hadn't didn't belong there.
Speaker 1: There's some sort of party going on with these mad
Speaker 1: Max characters like doom Buggies.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't see.
Speaker 4: Me hit it two feet too far?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, did I hit go too far?
Speaker 1: Is that a ball in the edge right in the
Speaker 1: front there, We're off it. Sam's giving me a thumbs
Speaker 1: up by an inch.
Speaker 3: It's like that. I really may go. Well, I have
Speaker 3: a stance.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: This is not the first time this has happened to
Speaker 1: us today that I'm just like just.
Speaker 3: On the edge.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So here's the Jordan speeds black.
Speaker 3: Oh, let's take a picture.
Speaker 1: It says here June twenty first, twenty fifteen US Open
Speaker 1: Final around Jordan Speed three wood.
Speaker 3: Oh I had driver. Oh look like that.
Speaker 4: He hit three wood from there onto the green.
Speaker 3: Oh, three wood to the green. Oh. Boy, it's on
Speaker 3: a downslope.
Speaker 2: But we're laying up anyways. It's you know, we're hitting
Speaker 2: like a nine or eight iron. Anyways. I can't be
Speaker 2: in that bunker I'm telling you about. You can just
Speaker 2: see it now. We cannot be in that. So we're
Speaker 2: gonna do like nine eight iron. You're going to have
Speaker 2: a tough stance. So we're just punching eight iron or something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we just got to stay out of that bunker. I
Speaker 2: just don't like your stance here.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think Mike just went in it.
Speaker 4: Mike may have just went in it.
Speaker 2: So that means we doublely don't want to go in
Speaker 2: definitely don't want to go in it. Yes, with your
Speaker 2: bad stance, We're just gonna hit whatever we can get
Speaker 2: going that direction.
Speaker 3: So how far is it to the bunker?
Speaker 2: It'd be one sixty to get in it from here?
Speaker 3: Wait, I see two. But the one that he just
Speaker 3: went in is the Mike Davis. Yes, okay, that's one sixty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one fifty.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, one fifty.
Speaker 3: So just you're saying eight iron, eight or nine.
Speaker 2: Iron, we're just get it right right at the shack,
Speaker 2: right at the guy in the cart there, okay, and
Speaker 2: just downhill once we get over this bunker.
Speaker 4: It's downhill. It's gonna roll all the way out.
Speaker 3: Okay, So let's go take a stance with the nine.
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's a good stance. We can go with
Speaker 4: the eight. But I just came.
Speaker 3: You got to I've got one. I've got no stands,
Speaker 3: got no stan you got chucked way up on the bunker.
Speaker 2: Just punch it out so.
Speaker 3: Well, but I got to get it in the air.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, oh boy, this is not good.
Speaker 4: Oh man, this is gonna be You want to wedge?
Speaker 1: Do I what's the advantage if I have a wedge here?
Speaker 2: Shorter club because the bowls are so far above your
Speaker 2: feet or maybe even yeah, I mean, alls we want
Speaker 2: to do is get over this bunker.
Speaker 4: We can't can't be in it.
Speaker 1: But I'm really got to choke down. Oh boy, Okay,
Speaker 1: I think we're good. I think we can do it
Speaker 1: with this.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Oh you killed it, absolutely crushed it, beautiful perfect.
Speaker 3: Oh he liked it.
Speaker 4: Glad we went back to that wedge.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2: And you really that's that was pretty good show. It
Speaker 2: might be the best shot of today difficulty.
Speaker 3: Wise, Well, what a time to do it.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: Now we can get there in three and have ourselves
Speaker 2: a birdie pot.
Speaker 3: So how far do you think I'm left out?
Speaker 2: Probably be about one fifty? Okay, middle pin today.
Speaker 3: Definitely a light change going on here, darker.
Speaker 4: We don't need our sunglasses anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, but I we'll be able to see so
Speaker 1: right my other one not here flag in the back right,
Speaker 1: it's middle right.
Speaker 2: There's a little plateau there, another little small dining table
Speaker 2: size area where they put these pins.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, we'll be left it right on top of
Speaker 1: this plateau, didn't we But I'm not going at the flag.
Speaker 4: Nope, We're going right in the middle, right in the middle.
Speaker 2: Right in between the a get in the blue, and
Speaker 2: the guy in the blues are tired.
Speaker 3: I got one sixty six to the middle from here, it's.
Speaker 2: One seventy two, so we get a one seventy.
Speaker 3: Shot five iron.
Speaker 2: We haven't hit this today, No, we have not. No,
Speaker 2: it's a good course when you hit every club in
Speaker 2: your bag. Yeah, yeah, that's why judge golf course. Yeah,
Speaker 2: right at that golf bag. Not even the guy of
Speaker 2: the blue even left to him.
Speaker 3: Okay is it? No? No? Oh no, I.
Speaker 1: Did oh I did not not want to be in
Speaker 1: that and I am man now.
Speaker 3: Went from the best shot of the day to the worst.
Speaker 2: That's golf.
Speaker 3: That's golf.
Speaker 2: That should be you, Sandwidge.
Speaker 1: Where is the flag? Where am I going? Just the
Speaker 1: right of that rake, to the right of the rake. Yep,
Speaker 1: right out of the rake, going over the stairs. No,
Speaker 1: the rake, and you're sixty yards. It's a sixty five
Speaker 1: yard shot. That's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Oh good, you liked it.
Speaker 4: Oh you had some backspin.
Speaker 3: Oh I had some back spin.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 3: On L four and he's handing me my potter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, got a chance at par here?
Speaker 3: Is that me way over there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, just missed by a couple of feet. See how
Speaker 2: small that area is though. I believe that was a
Speaker 2: Sunday pin. This is for five.
Speaker 3: It's a long way away.
Speaker 1: It's sixty three feet, but then it goes and play.
Speaker 1: It's uphill, so it's going and then if it goes
Speaker 1: past the hole, then it's gone.
Speaker 2: So you can't get it past the little obviously right.
Speaker 2: Sixty three yeah, sixty five feet, be fine. It's gonna
Speaker 2: go left, but not till the end.
Speaker 3: Okay, So where do I want to get it too?
Speaker 2: We're gonna start one foot on the right, and you've
Speaker 2: got you know, you've got to see you you saw
Speaker 2: what happens.
Speaker 4: You've got to hit this. You got it. We've had
Speaker 4: this length before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I stin't go past the flag. Okay, I didn't
Speaker 1: hurt myself. We've got fifteen feet left.
Speaker 3: And one cup right, Yeah, come and left.
Speaker 1: The distance or short bet up the hill a little bit,
Speaker 1: just a tad uphill, oh, a little bit up.
Speaker 2: Yes, you still don't look like it. You are waters behind.
Speaker 1: Us to hit it.
Speaker 3: Sam. Thanks, Fred, I really enjoyed for moping for me.
Speaker 3: You had a great job.
Speaker 2: It was a lot of fun with shit you coming
Speaker 2: out to Chambers Bay.
Speaker 1: So I've only used a caddy a handful of times,
Speaker 1: and Sam was actually one of the best at knowing
Speaker 1: the course, reading the greens, and keeping the conversation interesting
Speaker 1: and moving throughout the entire round. And it was really
Speaker 1: impressed that he was able to carry my bag as
Speaker 1: opposed to switching all my clubs into his lightweight bag,
Speaker 1: which is what happened to when I was abandoned Dunes
Speaker 1: and our caddy was caring for two players each and
Speaker 1: I couldn't bring all the stuff that I generally go
Speaker 1: to during a round because it created too much weight.
Speaker 3: So this worked out well.
Speaker 1: And my friend Michael had never used a caddy before
Speaker 1: and when I told him that it was a possibility,
Speaker 1: he was a big con but it.
Speaker 3: All worked out.
Speaker 1: This week's Golf Smarter Ambassador was Greg Clark of Leicestershire, England,
Speaker 1: and he did a beautiful job of recording his show
Speaker 1: opening on his phone and sending me the file.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 1: It's that easy to get a free gift and show
Speaker 1: your support of Golf Smarter. Either record it on your
Speaker 1: phone like Greg did, or leave it as a voicemail
Speaker 1: on our toll.
Speaker 3: Free listener line.
