Yeah, so can you tell me? 203 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:52.919 So they built the specific for the US Open. 204 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.159 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 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 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 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 Check up and down this hill four times. 225 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.120 All right.

I hear a story. There's one. 233 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:17.519 Probably there's probably five to six a year, wouldn't you say, Tyler? 234 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.759 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 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 Oh, I see it sloped from back to front. 240 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.039 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 Feet deep, four feet wide all the way through the green. 245 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.399 Oh my gosh. 246 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:50.399 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 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 Together, Absolutely perfect, and let. 251 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:02.879 Me get a shot of you.

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 It's lonesome. The last one. 255 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:15.480 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 One of the stories. 258 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:23.320 There's several stories. The one I hear, no. 259 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:25.799 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 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 Oh and a guy found the employee drag a bunch. 272 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.759 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 Yeah, forty five minutes out there with an axe, got tired. 277 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:05.440 He was drunk. 278 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:06.679 Okay. 279 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:07.600 I like that story. 280 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:10.000 I'm that part too.
