Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Like, are you having any fun when you're like on hole 30?
[00:00:05] Speaker B: Maybe it's day by day. Today I'd have played nine more. I mean, I could have kept going.
[00:00:11] Speaker A: What is wrong with ew?
[00:00:13] Speaker B: Many, many things, but many, many.
[00:00:15] Speaker C: Where do we start? I don't know how your body stays up with it. It's just, to me, it's just I
[00:00:21] Speaker B: do take a lot of Epsom salt bubble baths too. So I do think that has something to do with it. I mean, I'm not, not even.
I think that's my secret that not working out.
[00:00:29] Speaker C: Remember what John Daly said, John, the reason I never got hurt is it can pull fat.
[00:00:36] Speaker A: So I. Let's not bury the lead.
A dad or a coach got thrown out of a.
[00:00:42] Speaker B: Don't get ahead of me. Don't get ahead of me now. Yeah, that is the lead that. So I have managed to see something this week that I didn't. I mean, I thought I'd seen it all. I really did. It's very rare to surprise me anymore, but damn if this guy did. I have now. I now live in a world where I have witnessed someone be thrown out and have the cops called at a T ball game.
[00:01:08] Speaker C: Yeah, I've heard of it. There's a lot of stories and a lot of videos of it.
[00:01:12] Speaker A: Set the stage here.
[00:01:13] Speaker B: Not, not to be judgmental, but you do something like that. I, if I do something like that, I want people to judge me. You know what I mean? Like, there's a point in a line you cross where you just, you're welcoming judgment when you do certain things and that's it.
I mean, I'm sitting there watching my. It's my six year old son's T ball game and I'm standing, I'm standing there with my older son. My daughter was at cheer or tumble or something and all of a sudden I hear somebody say, oh, they threw him out. And I look up and like, because all the coaches are on the field, it's not like you see like storming out of the dugout to argue. There's five coaches on the field anyway. Well, I don't know if it was the ump or another coach he got mad at, but I guess he started jawing with somebody and got thrown out.
But he didn't go down without a, without a fight. And he's argued to the point that the director had to come out there and then he's ejected him and said, you got to leave. He said, well, where am I going to go? My kids here his kid's on the team. They can't just leave. So he says, you got to, you know, go to the parking lot or wherever. Well, he just. They come off the field and he's still yelling and cussing, and somebody, you know, the parents are yelling at him, saying, don't, you know, watch your mouth with all the kids around and all this stuff. And I think I heard a couple of f bombs flying.
Then next thing I know, the director's telling him, if you don't leave, sir, I'm gonna have to call the cops. And he said, you're gonna call the cops over this? This is the stupidest. Da, da, da, da, da. And finally the. The coach said, fine, you're being unreasonable. I'm calling the cops.
So the coach who was getting kicked out goes and calls the cops.
And Gabe's like, can we, like. Gabe always wants to, like, go walk around the field and, you know, just get some exercise and move around. He's like, can we go for a walk? I was like, not now. We can't. I won't see how this ends. I'm not going anywhere.
I was like, you know, I don't really feel like. I know it's not exactly like the right thing to do to sit and watch a train, like, train wreck like this, but I may never get another opportunity to witness this. I'm. I'm gonna watch this and say what happened. Sure enough, the cops showed up and took statements and asked. They actually came over to me and. And Gabe and asked if we, you know, if we could share what we saw. And I said I.
I didn't see enough to really be able to add any value. Honestly. I don't know exactly what happened, but other than a couple of 45 year old men acting like 6 year olds. I don't know what to tell you, but anyway, I texted Christian's mom after the game. I was like, her mom? His mom and stepdad. I said, y' all really missed it tonight because I told him the story. And his stepdad's like, it's little League. I was like, no, it's worse than that. It's T ball. Literally, it's. It's not even little league.
T ball. Never. My life made me feel a lot better about some of my decisions in life.
[00:04:05] Speaker A: At least they weren't in front of like a hundred people.
[00:04:08] Speaker B: Not all of them. I mean, some of them were, but, man, I just.
[00:04:13] Speaker C: Yeah, no, it's a real problem. I mean, you just go on the Internet. I used to do this with Some of my sport ethics classes where we talk about how do you manage youth sport? Right. And how do you keep parents under control and what types of preseason meetings and contracts, code of conduct contracts do you have to have the parent sign? Consequences clearly laid out this, that and the other.
But all that's great, but once the heat of the game is going, those parents just lose their minds and you'll see fights and all kinds of things and it's just, it speaks to the human condition I think more than anything the, the fragile egos of our aging population where they're trying to live their lives for their kids or who knows, you know, and it just becomes just hyper problematic because now you got little kids who never want to play sports again. I actually had at my last university in one of my master's classes I had a student, one of the students, sweet as a button, just like super chill, really good student, wrote a story in a blog or a discussion board post we talking about this whole parental involvement in sport, youth sport. And she said that that's why she stopped playing baseball was because her softball back then was because of a parent brawl, fight, something like that. And she went on to play golf instead because it scarred her so bad. She's like, I don't want to do this. Why would I be doing this? You know?
[00:05:32] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I mean not to get completely sidetracked, this is the best golf podcast ever. Not the best commentary on youth sports I guess. So don't want to get completely derailed on this. I've seen a lot when I was in college I refereed basketball and football for like part time gig.
[00:05:48] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:05:49] Speaker B: And I've seen, I mean I've kicked out a dad in a nine year old girls game. I've had a sheriff's deputy actually ask me if I wanted an escort to the car at an 8 year old basketball game one time.
And yes, I took it.
So I mean I've seen a lot of that stuff and I will say like when I coached my son, I was an assistant coach on the football team he played on and head coach on the basketball team. And my mom did give me a hard time when she came down to watch me play, how animated I was on the sideline for YMCA basketball. But there is something, you get, you know, get the emotions going a little bit and I'm, I try to, I try really hard not to, you know, jaw at the riffs or whatever like that, but I'd still get pretty worked up. And you, you can see my reaction if I, you Know, didn't agree or whatever, but so I get it on some level, but at the same time like there comes a point of like you got to have a little self control at some point. And I mean, I think that it would have been really, it would have been a tough feeling for me when I had to go get my kid out of the dugout and say, sorry, we've got to go. Because after the cops talked to everybody, they finally ended up, I guess ruling that he had to leave. I mean the whole thing took like 45 minutes, the game was almost over. But wouldn't be a good feeling to have to go tell my six year old, sorry, we gotta go buddy, cause dad got kicked out.
[00:07:13] Speaker C: So anyway, yeah, not to get too sidetracked too, but I was two things from, I was coaching this 10 to 12 year old girls basketball team for this team that two of my professors had started and they asked me to coach because both of their daughters were on the team. So they asked me to coach for them.
And one, one of the, the dads is like a second father to me, just a great mentor. He and I see eye to eye on a lot of things when it comes to kids and youth sport and ethics and how to do things. And I worked for him for four summers at his sports camp.
Now the other dad literally whispered to me from behind the bench, we're on the, I was on the bench coaching his daughter and he says, hey, I want you to start cursing at my daughter and light a fire under her. I said, no sir, I don't think I will do that. She's 10 years old. He goes, no, it's okay, you should, you should just really get under her skin and curse her out. I was like, no, no, I won't be doing that. I said, if you want me to do that, you need to find another coach because I'm not doing that, you know. Yeah. And then when I was never forget this, I was coaching the game and we were beating this other team pretty good. We had a really good player and that's just how it goes in new sport. You got one or two good, good players and it can dominate a game. And I don't know if the coach on the other team was one of the girl's aunt or something like that, but I remember their star player dribbled the ball off their foot, out of bounds and just the loudest scream from the coach, she said, that's why your dad left you and the whole gym just like damn quiet, you know, just like it's like, it's too much. People are just psychopaths when it comes to youth sport. You know that you tell a little girl, that's why your dad left you, like, this is messed up.
[00:08:59] Speaker B: That's. That's the new worst thing I've ever heard.
[00:09:02] Speaker C: Listen, I've told that story so many times, and I've yet to hear someone say, oh, I could top that. You know, that's.
[00:09:08] Speaker B: Don't have anything for that one. That. That's a new.
That's a new low.
Well, let's see. Golf stuff. So Tony has broken himself. He's out of commission.
[00:09:19] Speaker A: Are you hurt?
[00:09:20] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:09:21] Speaker B: What happened?
[00:09:22] Speaker C: Well, so let me. Let me. Okay. I'll just do my whole thing right now. This will be my spiel for the. For the episode.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: I got 36 mold Liberty, so I can take a while. When it's my turn, I'll go last.
[00:09:31] Speaker C: So I decided to start working more on mobility stuff because I've been doing a lot of strength training and, you know, muscle building and stuff like that. Everything is good. But the whole caveat with that, right, is if you're not keeping up with your mobility, you can get tight, you can get stiff, right? Oh, yeah. So I start doing some mobility stuff, and I start stretching, and I'm doing disassociation stuff. Hip stable upper body rotations and vice versa. And I was doing these Bulgarian split dowel turns, where basically you have one leg back on a bench and you're just turning both directions, right?
And I don't know if that was the cause of it or I tweaked it playing golf with Garrett in the rain or what, but I was at the range probably last week, and I started warming up, doing some of those turns in just a lunge position, and I kind of felt something tweaking my intercostals around the ribs, and I was like, huh, that doesn't feel good. I've never felt golf pain there before.
Usually it's my lower back, upper left glute, and dummy me just continues to stretch and do more and hit some balls. And I was like, okay, I probably should stop. This isn't going to go well.
Well, I let it rest for a few days, and then I go to play golf with my buddy early this week, get to the range thinking it's going to be better. And after the first or second swing, my whole left side just, like on just flaring up and, like, glitching out and cramping and just, you know, seizing up. I told my buddy I was Like, Joe, man, I think I'm gonna have to test this old man golf theory that I've been talking so much about during this round. And he was like, what's up? I was like, well, I was just stretching, and I think I injured myself stretching. I said, it shouldn't be happening. I'm trying to do all the right things. And he goes, remember what birthday number we're celebrating in Scotland this year? And I was like, no, no, we're not that old. That's not that old to be hurting yourself stretching, you know?
So anyway, I try to play, and the first hole, I get up there and I hit driver. We're at Eagle Ridge, and I just bunt a little old man, 250 yard carry drive. That rolls out to like 2:80. And I was like, all right, fine. But I felt it.
[00:11:36] Speaker B: I was like, ooh.
[00:11:37] Speaker C: I get to the next shot real easy. Little a hundred yard pitching right or something. Just get it on the green, Barely miss the birdie putt. I'm like, okay, this is fine. Get to the next hole, par three. I clubbed down. So I take a seven iron instead of an eight iron, and I just kind of bunt one out there, hit the green almost hole in one, you know, And I'm like, okay, well, this is a fine way to play.
It's a good test, right? The ball's in play. It's no stress. It's easy. Keep the ball in front of you where you can see it. I get to the third hole, which is in the driver hole, and I just try to bunt a driver out there, and oof. I mean, I felt it. I was like, oh, no.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. And I pushed it. She gone. And so I played the next two holes, and then I went to hit driver on number five, and it was just like, nope, can't do this anymore. So I just chipped hybrids up to the green. But I was telling Garrett I was only one over through the first five holes without being able to hit a ball harder than probably 110 mile an hour ball speed with a driver. It was bad.
And then scrambled around for the next few holes. But finally when I got to number nine, did that little bunt driver swing again. It was really lighting me up. And then I get to the fairway, and I tried to just chip a seven wood, and I just went down to my knees like, it was so bad. I was like, I can't do it anymore, stupid. I know I should be wiser than that. I should be whatever So I put the clubs in the back of the car for the back nine. I just took a wedge and a putter, and I just dropped the ball around the green and just chipped and putted for the rest of the nine. Because it was beautiful weather, and I just wanted to hang out with my buddy, right. I hadn't seen him in a while and get some walking exercise in. But, yeah, I'm trying to be smart. I'm icing it. And I'm still doing the hip mobility stuff right now, but I'm not doing any more major upper body stretching, because, yeah, it was. And he was like. He goes, buddy. He's like, I can just see you bracing for pain as soon as you make the calls thing. He's like, you don't need to be doing this anymore. I was like, I know. So trying to be wise, but, you know, the ego gets in the way. And I could still play. And it's just.
[00:13:36] Speaker B: Yeah. And you gotta be careful with it, too, because when you're.
When you're playing hurt, it's so easy to get into bad habits from trying to protect yourself from the pain. Right? And you can end up creeping in. In addition, I'm sure Mike's sitting here screaming in his head right now. You know, don't. Don't hurt yourself worse, right? But me, the technician sitting there thinking, don't mess your swing up by trying to.
[00:14:01] Speaker C: The swing was gone. The swing was so gone. I mean, literally, my swing, you know, I can't even stay in golf posture. So I pop out of it with a high right shoulder just to try to not have the right. The intercostal stretched. And even that wasn't working. It was. I literally looked like an old man out there. I was getting out, driven by old guys from the gold tees. You know, they're, like, pounding it past me, and I'm just like, yep. But it was a good. It was a good thing because I was like, huh? If all I could do was hit driver 200 yards, would I still enjoy the game? And I was like, yeah, I'd still enjoy it. I'd still have fun with it. You know, I just move up to the front tee boxes and just play that way, so it was still fun. But again, highlight or low light? Yes. The pain. I need to rest. I need to take it easy for a little while, get my body back right before I go out and play full again.
But the positives were, again, you don't have to hit the golf ball. And we were playing from the blue Tee box. It's not like we were playing from the reds or the golds, you know, and I was still right around par. Make a few more putts and I could have shot easily one over for the nine. I missed probably the last four greens. I had par putts of like 5, 8, 10ft. And I mean they all right on the edge, you know. So it very easily could have just been a 1 over 9 hole round when I couldn't hit the ball more than 200 yards after the first, second, third hole, you know, from the blue tee boxes. So there's a lot of merit to get it in play, control it, find it, hit it again and have a really good short game and you can play golf 100%.
[00:15:33] Speaker B: Yeah. And that's so update on the 70% rule. Progress. So when we, you know, it's kind of good, good transition there. I've played three more rounds since we last talked about it.
Next round after we last Talked, I shot 84, but was, golly, I don't even know what I was through.
I think I was nine over, through, through seven.
[00:16:03] Speaker C: You don't start well.
[00:16:04] Speaker B: I do not start well at Eagle Ridge especially the starting stretch at Eagle Ridge is tough and I was playing Eagle Ridge that day. You don't get to a par five until seven and the first five holes are tough.
I had just a short game induced double on two and then number four hit it over the green or no, I'm sorry, number three hit it over the green and tried to play the smart like little bump and run shot and I bump it and run it almost the top of the heel and it doesn't quite clear and it comes all the way back to my feet. So ball travels 20 yards to net, advance one foot basically and make double there and then.
Yeah, this is what makes me mad when I try to do something smart and it still, it still backs, fires. I hit my T ball on seven into the penalty area, lift and dropped and the drop area, I mean if you're only getting a club length from the hazard line, you're still in bad shape. Right. So it's uphill side hill and I just took a little five. I had to hit a longer club to keep it down under this little tree limb that probably wasn't going to be in play, but it, if I hit it too high, it would be. I'm just going to take 100, a 5 iron and try to hit like a 125 yard shot with a 5 iron. Really just like a little chip shot. I Shank it out of bounds, or I shank it and it hits a car path and bounces out of bounds, end up making a nine, and.
But then I hole out from 25 yards off the green on eight to make birdie, and that kind of gave me a little accidental jump start.
And I don't remember exactly without going into all the details. I think I was even par from there on to like number 17, and then 17 I made bogey because my ball ended up in a divot in the middle of fairway, and I chunked it second or my approach shot and then hit it in the water on 18, made double. But it was happy with how I rebounded from the bad start to at least not let it ruin the entire day. I mean, at 84 after being. What's that, 13 over with a double on 18. But I was nine of that in the first seven holes. So the last 12 I was okay.
[00:18:10] Speaker C: Now to this frustrating thing about golf, right, Is because you have these flashes of brilliance where the game seems easy and it's like there's no stress and whatever.
Not to cut you off or anything, but some of these situations, I don't wonder when you're making these huge numbers and I hear you saying you were just trying to hit the five iron and just chip it out there 125 yards or whatever, but it's almost like, are you doing a good job of taking each shot as its own unique experience and shot, or in the back of your mind, is there? Well, I've just hit this in the hazard, so I need to make a really good shot to come back. Because it's like, that's. I think the next step in the process for you is. Is taking each shot and just saying this is the best I can do with what I got right now. Let's not worry about the future or the past. What's the one thing I can do to hit the best shot I can in this scenario?
[00:19:04] Speaker B: I think if anything in. In that situation, if I were gonna really analyze it, it's not so much an anger or frustration or not being able to let go of the fact that I just hit a bad shot, But I think when I've just got a chip of five iron down the fairway, 125 yards.
I bet if you. If you looked at how long it takes for me to prepare and hit a shot in normal circumstances compared to that one, it's hilarious how quickly I hit that shot, because that's why I was really go through a pre shot Routine because you're in the woods, you can't really get behind it and light it up the way you want to and all that stuff. So I just kind of like grab a club, taking a quick glance at where I want to hit it, and then just like get up there and hit a little. Yeah.
[00:19:48] Speaker C: You're not really engaged. Yeah. You're not engaged with the shot because it's an easy shot. Right. It's just. Oh, just chip a 5 iron 125 yards. And I find that so often with people, the quote unquote easy punch out shot is the one that almost kills me.
Remember from the last episode? Right. Or, or it's the one where they hit a tree and it stays in the, in the, in the forest or whatever, because they're, they, they, they assume it's an easy shot and therefore they don't go through their process. They don't focus on it. Right. All I gotta do is just chip this five iron 100 yards. Well, how often have you even practiced that? Right.
[00:20:20] Speaker B: Well, and also to our last episode, I hate snakes. So if I'm in that situation and I'm in the woods, I'm getting in, getting out as fast as I can. You know, I'm already in a bad spot here. Last thing I need to do is add a snake bite to my need a danger noodle. Right. So usually I'm kind of just let me just get the hell out of here as quick as I can.
And, you know, when I made the big number on, from the hazard on 10 that day, it was the easiest little chip out ever. But I didn't take two seconds because I was more worried about checking my feet for make sure nothing was moving, you know, so that's something that, you know, I see these guys, I saw a clip on Instagram the other day of, I think it was Ian Poulter, maybe one of the, One of the guys trying to get ready to play a shot with an alligator like 10ft from them. I'm like, I would literally rather go back and take my stroking distance penalty than try to hit that shot. Like, it's just not worth it.
[00:21:17] Speaker C: You know, I will say golf is probably the only sport where you do have natural elements, aside from rain and wind, to come after you. There's literal critters that can come get you.
[00:21:28] Speaker B: Well, Jordan Spieth at Pebble beach, that time he hits the ball from like the edge of the cliff.
[00:21:32] Speaker C: I was thinking about the exact same thing.
[00:21:34] Speaker B: I mean, I'm, I'm. That's One of those things where I'm like, damn, I love this game and I'm competitive. It's not worth my. My life, though.
I would just take my penalty and move on, but I don't know. Everybody's wired a little differently, I guess. But so, yeah, I mean, I think situations like that. I do rush a little bit today, though. You're gonna. I think you'll really appreciate this one. So I played 36 today at Old Liberty, and the first.
[00:22:00] Speaker A: 18, 36. First of all, I don't know how you guys do that. I talk to clients that'll go on vacation and they never play 36. But they're like, yeah, well, I.
Because we're on vacation and they've paid all this money. But like, my God, I'm so exhausted after, like, 12 holes. I mean, 36 right now with my body.
[00:22:23] Speaker C: Yeah, with my body the way it is right now, I'm happy to play 18 holes in a week. If I try to play 36 in a week, or if I try to hit balls and play, I'm like, I got to pick one or the other right now. You know, I'm just. I'm either going to play 18 holes or I'm going to hit two range sessions, and that's it. There's no and that sucks. I wish I could be like Garrett. And of course, he's got the perfect golf body, right? We did his TPI assessment, and he's just perfect.
[00:22:47] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:47] Speaker A: And I'll have to. Your point, you know, I have clients that go on vacation and they'll tweak something, and they're like, well, I gotta play. My back's effed up right now, but I gotta play.
So regardless of what you shot today, like, are you ha. Like, are you having any fun when you're like, on hole 30?
[00:23:09] Speaker B: Like.
[00:23:11] Speaker A: Like, you just like, I would rather be doing this a terrible. You know, I just have the worst round of my life on this back end of this, but it's better than doing X.
[00:23:23] Speaker B: Maybe it's day by day today. If I didn't need to come back and talk to you guys, I'd have played nine more. I mean, I could have kept going.
[00:23:31] Speaker A: What is wrong with you?
[00:23:33] Speaker B: Many, many things, but many, many.
[00:23:36] Speaker C: Where do we start?
[00:23:37] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know.
[00:23:38] Speaker C: I mean, yesterday, Let me get my notepad and let's just start jotling in.
[00:23:43] Speaker B: If I'm playing and playing decent, okay, then I can play and never be. Never get tired when I'm not playing good.
[00:23:54] Speaker A: You.
[00:23:54] Speaker B: You definitely get to Those rounds where it's just like, I'm done. I don't want to play anymore. I'm done. The day that we had the trifecta, I did not and could not think about a golf club probably once I left the course that day, because I was just mentally just spent.
And that wasn't from playing bad. That was just from frustration of just, man, we're doing all we can, and nothing's working out. But I doubt today I hit it really good, and I hit it better and better as the day went on. I did notice on the last nine, because I've been waiting a lot all day long in the last nine, there was nobody in front of me, and I was just, like, buzzing right around, and I started to notice, like, I'm getting a little sloppy and. And just not really hitting it very good. But, no, I mean, I love to now practice a little bit different. So yesterday, I didn't have anything else going on, and I was like, I'm gonna really do some practicing today. Y' all don't even want to know how many hours of practice yesterday.
[00:24:48] Speaker C: But by the end, I don't know how your body stays up with it. It's just. To me, it's just.
I'm sitting here training, I'm lifting weights. I'm doing my mobility stuff, and Garrett's
[00:24:59] Speaker B: like, that's our problem.
[00:25:01] Speaker A: I spent an hour and a half yesterday.
[00:25:05] Speaker B: I was working out an hour today.
Yeah.
[00:25:08] Speaker A: I'm like, I don't have the energy
[00:25:09] Speaker B: to go, y' all are working out too much. If y' all quit working out, y' all could have more energy for playing golf. Last night, I hit my ceiling at.
I was hitting balls last night, and I was hitting it pretty good, and I was like. But I could feel that fatigue starting to kick in, and I was like, I better, you know, put this thing up before I start hitting it. I'm gonna. I could. I was right at the edge of starting to get tired, and I was like, if I do anymore.
But, I mean, I putted for three hours yesterday. I hit balls for three hours. Oh, my God. I got at it pretty good yesterday.
[00:25:38] Speaker C: He's on the professional golfer schedule.
[00:25:40] Speaker B: I mean, Tony keeps saying, these guys are working. You know, they work out at eight hours a day. And I'm like, well, I want to try eight hours a day, then see what that feels like. I think that's about my limit. I. Yesterday all added up, it was nine and a half hours I spent practicing in some way or another.
And that's about as much as I think you can. You can handle. But I love it. I mean, it's. It's one of those. It's one of the benefits of add, man. If you enjoy doing something, you zone the zone completely out from the rest of the world. And that's like all you want to do. That's. That's why I hit like 100.
I don't know. I think I told this if I didn't when I went to. I think it was when me and Tony played last. I stopped by Solis to warm up because I didn't have the driving range. Wasn't open that day, and in a one hour warmup, I had 150 golf balls.
I mean, like, I'm just like rapid fire. It's just I. I enjoy it, but.
And then, you know, I. I do take a lot of Epsom salt bubble baths too. So I do think that has something to do with it. I mean, I'm not. Not gonna get it.
[00:26:38] Speaker C: You're gonna get a sponsorship for the podcast from the leading Epsom salt.
[00:26:44] Speaker B: Yep. I'm telling you, man, I swear by it. I think that's my secret that not working out. I think that's. That's the main thing.
[00:26:51] Speaker C: Remember what John Daly said? John Daly said the reason I never got hurt is he can pull fat. Can't pull fat.
[00:26:58] Speaker B: That's a good point, but no. So in my round today, though, I didn't hit the ball bad at all. I kept getting.
Here's the problem, though. I was thinking about on the ride home. You know how we say, you know, where's a good miss?
I hit my preferred miss zone with incredible accuracy. So much so that I never hit it like actually on the green. I just was constantly hitting it to where it was. That's a good miss. That's a good miss. But I didn't hit anything. Good shots and the wind kept catching. I was. I was telling you guys this before, I think it was before I recorded, but the wind was shifting. You can have two holes parallel back to back, and they'd both be downwind or both into the wind or something like that.
And I don't know if it's just something about the weather patterns there or what, because it. It was.
The second round was the exact same way, but it was the same patterns and the same shifts on every hole. So anyway, I get about 13 or so on the first round and the. The wind has blown my ball in unexpected ways the last time it's going to. And I said, okay, new rule, the ball's not allowed to get above the tree line rest of the day.
But to do that, I had to go now down to like my 65% shot, club up two clubs and just hit like a little like. Well, I've eight swing or something, right? Not quite a half swing. Did I play great from there in? Because. And I mean, it was a little bit hard to get it to stop on the greens like that, but it was like, I've taken the 70 rule and put it on steroids now. It was like completely just like extended putt putt is the way I basically played the last 30 holes. Probably played good. The second second 18, I shot 79 and had to play the front nine twice, which is the harder nine. The back nine was close coming around, but even then it was.
I didn't hit the ball great. I just missed it in pretty good places.
[00:28:46] Speaker C: Have you noticed that on some of the videos, like, his hat will disappear into the yellow or his arm. His wristband will disappear into the yellow?
[00:28:54] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't like the ghost mode that I've been living in on this thing, you know, so I've been. I do that because when I've got the kids, I can't. I've got to stay in my bedroom to record because otherwise it would be the chaos. But in my bedroom backdrop doesn't exactly look great. It's a little messy. You can see, like, every outfit I've worn probably in the last two weeks laying behind me, and it's just not a good look.
