What is Did I Tell You About My Albatross?
Host "Albi" made a 1/600 million, walk-off albatross (2 on a par 5) to win a 2 day golf tournament in Tampa, FL. So he started a podcast to tell the world about it and to find/share stories like his.
Welcome to ‘Did I Tell You About My Albatross’, the golf podcast that delves into the most incredible, improbable, and downright mind-blowing moments in golf.
Every episode feels like teeing it up with your favorite foursome, filled with laughter, storytelling, and the camaraderie that makes golf so unique.
The inception of this podcast is rooted in one of golf’s rarest feats: a walk-off albatross. In the 2020 Member-Member tournament at Carrollwood Country Club in Tampa, Florida, Albi (Host) defied 1 in 600 million odds, making a 2 on the final par 5, last hole/ last shot securing a miraculous win. This monumental shot wasn’t just a game-changer on the course; it transformed Albi’s life.
Join Albi and his Co-hosts: Sheppard (pro athlete whisperer/performance coach guru), and Panda (PGA Teaching Professional) as they uncover the best "did i tell you about...." moments in and around golf.
Discover the magic, the mayhem, and the moments that make golf the incredible game it is.
Welcome everyone to another episode of Did I Tell You About My Albatross?
I'm your host Alvi.
We got a great one for you tonight.
We've actually got our boy Panda.
Say what's up Panda?
What up?
We got my boy Shepard, Koala, Mayor.
Call him whatever you want.
And then we've got a special guest.
This is crazy.
I thought it was going to take years for us to get a professional golfer in here.
No offense Panda.
I mean, I know you're technically a pro.
But but shut up PTA of America.
But dude, we have we have an exclusive for y'all.
This is this is crazy.
I mean, in a shed, I can't first of all, I can't believe we tricked your ass into getting
here and put you in a shed with three degenerates.
This is fantastic.
And then secondly, I can't believe we were able to pull this off.
We got Brad Bruner.
Thank you for joining us, my man, friend of the show, friend of the club.
And man, welcome.
Thanks for joining us.
So let's just jump in this thing.
You want to know why you're here, man?
Like, do you understand?
He he said he didn't tell you anything about it.
And especially I did not tell him he especially didn't tell you it was going to be in a shed,
which I love, by the way.
I think that's late.
It's great.
It's a I said eight o'clock and gave him the address.
Yeah, so actually gave me the address at about 650.
Well, anyway, thanks for me.
Let me turn off my window unit.
Hey, Ryan, so we by the way, the MVP of this whole thing is our editor.
I see behind the shed right now.
Yeah, exactly.
The problem is you clap when you need an edit.
The more he gets going, the funnier you start to find stuff.
He does one of these when he laughs.
Yeah, I get.
Yeah. So Ryan's all fucked up.
He doesn't know what to edit, what to like.
So he cuts stuff when he shouldn't.
It's crazy.
The reason that we're doing this podcast like have you even this is what drives me nuts.
Like, have you even heard like this shot, this albatross story?
Obviously, you heard the rap song that I just dropped for you, which, by the way,
is an exclusive is going to be dropped right here at the end of this episode for all y'all.
Heard the rappers pretty good.
Have you heard it heard about and you've been a member like not only were you a member,
but your dad was a member of Carol Wood for for a long time.
Yeah, for sure.
I mean, I did not hear about that.
It's a pretty ridiculous story.
See, like that's crazy to me.
Like that to me can't happen.
That's the whole reason we're fucking doing this podcast, because it drives me insane.
Remember, it tells it to everybody.
It was member member 2020.
Brian or actually Crane, we call him on the show and I were playing and we get to pine one and and we were down three shots going to now.
We didn't know that at the time we tee off pine one and I hit my drive.
It was an amazing drive.
I mean, I was all over the place that day per the use and tell us our work with Panda was a reformed hooker now.
And and so and so we get so I hit my drive and then we go out there.
And of course, Crane is like he's taken care of last like he's done.
He's like over the phone.
Like we thought we were out of it.
So we get there and then I pull up my trusty three wood and I I pipe it did like two forty seven, I think.
And you know what it was.
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
We'd like to put a plaque in.
We'd like to put a plaque in like get your opinion on that.
But then what's crazy about it is Ocean Knight.
He was there along with our buddy Nick and they saw it go in.
They actually saw the actually saw a shot go in.
So long story short, we go in turn our scorecard in and then we find out we were three shots back going into that hole.
So we ended up tying for the win on the last shot of the tournament for member member with an albatross.
It was net.
Fuck you.
Yes, it was net.
But but no, no, it was an albatross.
They tied for the net club champion.
Sure.
Yeah.
Member member.
Yeah.
Member member.
And so do they get a trophy?
I didn't get shit.
I got that little member member cup up there and I got and I made my own trophy.
This is our playoff or something.
So we went to Pine One.
We were ready to rock these dudes and we get there and and I'm going to have those guys on by the way.
But we get there and they're like, oh, we're actually just going to let the gross.
We're just going to let the gross people have a playoff.
That's trash.
So we tied for the win.
But still, dude, like an albatross as the last shot of the tournament to tie for the win of any kind of tournament.
Granted, yeah, it's stupid.
Care what I get it.
But like, I don't know, man.
To me, it's amazing.
Yeah, it is amazing.
What are the odds?
I mean, what are the actual odds?
I hired an actuary to run the numbers and it's it's it's six million.
One in six million is an albatross.
But I have no idea what it is to win a tournament.
Like, what are the odds you can be in that predicament?
April 20 on the last hole shot.
April 20 20 was like coronavirus.
There wasn't that little pool noodle in there, was there?
There was not.
OK, no, I was going to be that was going to be tough if there was the pool noodle in the hole.
Oh, no, I think so.
I had a hole in one during that time and I think that's actually tougher because it would bounce right out.
I don't know about that.
I do.
I think so.
I'm not trying to throw.
I'm going to default.
I'm going to default to.
Oh, dude, that was going to be my question.
So, OK, so that's why you're here.
That's the whole reason for the pod.
Thank you for joining us, by the way.
It's a weird intro.
I get it.
So that was going to be one of my first questions.
Do you have an albatross?
A one.
Yes, one.
OK.
During when the pool noodle fiasco was going on.
Dude, I think that actually adds to to the fact.
That's what I thought.
I'm like, yeah, this is how stupid an albatross is really to make.
The pool noodle in there.
Five iron at Tampa Palms.
Can't remember the whole something on the back.
Maybe the 10, 11, 12.
Well, yeah, number 12.
OK.
Yeah, that was good.
It was sick.
I was pumped.
You see it going or you unsure?
Yeah, it was a back right.
And you can kind of see it.
It's a little raised and we saw it go in.
But I'm like, gosh, it's pure.
You're like, damn, what's going on?
Oh, so we get let's dig into a little bit about your story, man, because I love it.
What little I know about it.
I'm excited to learn a little bit more about it because you've had quite the journey.
By the way, your dad, I love he was the first person at Carol Wood.
They paired me up.
Darren, Darren was like, welcome to the club.
I'm going to pair you up with Larry.
You probably don't want to use their real name, so I'm going to go ahead.
So God, oh, well, and Modoc, Modoc.
That was your first group.
That was my first.
I'm like, wow, this is a this is a random ass club, dude.
I'm like, is there anyone close to my age?
And I'm old.
But I'm like, but your dad was like a first person.
And so from that moment, man, whenever I'd see him around the club, he'd always be like, hey, anyway.
So you guys have been members for a long time, I guess, is my point.
Right.
You grew up on the course.
Yeah, I didn't really grow up on the course.
So my dad was the head pro at Rogers Park.
So my dad was the head pro at Rogers Park for like 14 years.
So I played a lot out there as a kid, a lot of gambling, like 13, 14.
They had probably the best money games.
Back then, it was like they'd get 60 people on a Saturday, Sunday, 25 ahead, straight skins.
No way.
Oh, every every every time.
Right. And it was it was awesome going out there.
I think it was good.
But yeah, I mean, I was playing at Carrollwood when I was around that time, too, probably 10.
There was there was just a bunch of us causing just raging basically out there.
I mean, terrorizing the cart barn downstairs, that stinger three irons like Indy 500 spray in the corners.
It was it was a cool time.
So obviously you grew up around the course and stuff.
But like, did your dad teach you like was he a little bit?
But, you know, as I've begun my new path of teaching in my own experiences, kids don't want to listen to their parents.
That's so true. It was we'd be out there.
He'd help me and I would just like, no, that's not right.
No, no, I'm not doing that.
Right. It's like he was right the whole time.
That's just the way it is.
I wanted to dive into that because I've got a son and like I like one of the things I can't what you do to like, I mean, you like one of the things like I want to coach me in tennis as well.
Right. My whole life.
So did you listen?
I listened until I was probably 14, 15.
And then you're like, then we and I came.
I moved down here to Florida.
Yeah. And started training down here.
It just got too much like every day, four hours a day on the court with my dad and too much.
That's a that's a just a moth.
Don't worry about that one.
I got a horse fly in the garage today.
It was just out of nowhere.
Dude, Florida's got some crazy ass bugs.
And that bug, eat that bug.
That was one of our shirts.
We're going to make a shirt called Eat That Bug.
That's one of the bugs that I was telling you the cat story.
It's funny you say that because like I I worry about like trying to force my son.
Like I haven't pushed him at all towards it.
And like he hasn't picked it up yet.
I don't want to force him into it because of that.
Like you don't want but but you still ended up loving golf, obviously.
I mean, he never pushed me.
But when it came like he never said, hey, you need to go practice and you do this.
I just love doing it.
Yeah. And I just.
Oh, did you?
Yeah, I just love doing it.
So it was it was a no brainer for me and all my friends were there.
But you had access to the club.
My dad definitely pushed me.
Did he? Oh, yeah.
Throw firecrackers at your feet like Tiger Woods.
Yeah.
Shout out Earl.
Hey, Earl gets results.
Say what you want about Earl.
But do Earl was banging chicks.
And by the way, if Tiger wants to come on here, forget I'm saying this right here,
which he never will.
You just if you speak bad of Earl, we're not getting Tiger.
No, I'm actually not speaking bad about it.
But like the fact that he would bang chicks in a camper while Tiger was practiced
putting on the putting green is crazy to gangster.
That is.
I'm just not sure if it's in the cards for us to get Tiger on this.
Yeah, not yet.
I don't think it's higher than we think.
Probably never seen a shed.
He might be interested.
It could be right up his alley.
Don't let him fool you.
We fit him in there too.
Yeah.
So we're guys and a tiger.
We did four guys in a pan.
He is the epitome of the spirit animal.
Right.
He goes for it with this.
Oh, dude, that's a very good point.
Speaking of, we're going to buy into this episode.
We're going to show them an email by the end of this episode.
So again, one of the things that we do here might as well go ahead and give a short plug to Daphne's head covers.
Where's our sponsorship money?
Daphne, send us your sponsorship money.
By the way, you sound hot.
By the end of this episode, we're going to have Mr. Bruner's spirit animal pegged.
And we've got a couple of things flying around right now.
I tried to come at him with B Squary.
Shut that down.
Everyone shut that down.
Bumblebee.
You liked Bumblebee.
Bumblebee is not dead in my opinion.
But you said always hard for a lefty.
That's not really a spirit animal.
We got to come up with like maybe a Southpaw looking character.
Paw, South Park.
I don't know.
Oh, all right.
If we're going to cope, if you're just going to go down.
There's an animal that's mostly predominantly left handed.
Look that up while we're on this.
That's a great thought right there, actually.
They blame me for getting off track.
And it's really them that throw me off, dude.
So we're talking about your your race around a golf course.
When did you start figuring out like, like I'm like, I'm actually I can I can do something with this maybe.
I just always wanted to do it.
I mean, when I was so going way back, Rogers Park days, kind of before first he was Urban Junior Golf.
And a couple of the people locally, Mike Cooper, who now works with the USGA, but he does a lot.
Who was the other guy that taught up there?
There was a guy, the younger guy at the time when I first moved, I took a couple lessons from him at Rogers Park.
I thought he was I thought he was the pro there when I probably still is.
And I feel bad not remember his name.
Anyway, sorry, dude.
Yeah.
TJ.
Sorry, TJ.
TJ.
Yes, TJ.
Dude, that's totally him.
I took lessons from him.
Is he really?
Yeah, that's crazy.
A lot of conflicting information, probably.
I'm sure you don't watch any YouTube videos either.
No, no.
Grab that.
Show me your book.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to play golf.
All right.
Let me and speaking of obviously is around how to golf book in case it ever in case it ever really gets bad.
This is very serious.
We're playing together.
I mean, the problem is he brings this out and he starts reading it.
I'm assuming.
Oh, my God.
Most people, though, don't have this is a little below you.
I think I don't know that it is, man.
I don't know that it is.
And for some people, that should be given to fundamentals when championships.
Sometimes it's good to remember how to hit a bunker shot.
Like it's just good railroad tracks.
Yeah, I saw it.
I mean, he will lie.
They'll get that out and start reading it mid round.
It works, dude.
I'm telling you.
Carries swing aids in the back of the car.
Speaking of swing aids, I like to.
This is a great sponsorship opportunity.
And speaking of sponsorship opportunities, Daphne, where's our sponsorship money?
And also, I'd like to give a shout out to Salted.
We give free ads around here until they start paying us for this one is one.
I'm going to start paying.
Yeah, this is one that I'd like to share with my instructor.
It's called Salted. Have you ever heard of this?
So Crane and Ocean Knight and I were all on a text thread and we were we were like, oh, and Crane wants to really understand his balance.
So what's crazy and I'll put a video up actually right now with my because it records your video and then it shows you your weight balance and the transfer and impact and everything else.
And what's interesting is Crane was like, hey, man, I don't want to spend this much money on this stupid thing.
And if anyone's down to spend money on swing aids, it's me.
I've got literally every single you name it, dude.
I got the the hanger. I've got the divot board.
I've got you name it. I mean, so but what's interesting is he was like, I don't want to pay for the whole thing.
But he was like, I need someone that has similar feet.
And so Ocean Crane was like, I'm out.
I got small feet. And then one person gets the right one.
And Crane is a divorce attorney. He drew up some custody papers.
So I have it one week and then he has the next.
So anyway, but so OK, so then TJ, so he's out there.
I don't know why I bring up TJ.
But but like, when did you start playing tournaments?
Like, was it like what is someone like I started playing golf like kind of late in life?
When did you start playing tournaments?
When did I start playing golf like competitive golf like high school?
Is that same with you or you before that?
I mean, it's high level or not.
I like the junior golf stuff we would have.
Oh, OK. It would be like camps.
But you remember the original Tiger golf shoes?
Yeah, they were like hard as a rock, but they were I don't know.
They had them donated like a thousand pairs. Right.
So I'm just saying time wise, that's when this was the original Tigers.
They were all black. They were like a heavy mesh.
We would do these camps, but we would play a tournament every Friday
between the babe Rocky and Rogers. Right.
So every Friday I had a tournament. Wow.
So that was cool. I think that was good.
Were you winning those? All of them. Yeah.
I mean, I was like I would shoot 72 to 74 every time.
It was ridiculous. Wow.
Do you still own the club course record?
Carolyn, is that I think it was brought up the other day.
I it was 60 from the Blues. Yeah, I think.
Now, here's the thing, because this is a question like, can you 60?
Wow. Can you own a course record from the whites?
Sure. A lot of courses from the whites.
See, that's what we were talking about.
If Hells are shot 60 from the whites, that I don't think that's a course record.
I think a course record has to be from the tips.
There's multiple course records. I think there can be a couple.
If you go to TPC, now they have like course record from each T,
but then a lot of courses will be like it can only be a tournament course record.
Right. Like it has to be a legitimate tournament round played.
It's all it's on the course. Right.
Yeah, I guess it's up to the course. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm fine with multi-teeth. That's cool.
If you don't have a freaking plaque for your albatross, there's no fucking course record.
Yeah, we walked in the shop and I looked at that Thornberry, the GM, and I said,
hey, we might have a course record.
Hells are just hot 60. And he was like, oh, I'm going to have to do some research.
I'm not sure what the course record is. Yeah, dude, they don't care.
Shout out to concert golf. Thanks again for having us.
But fix our greens and please pay more attention to amazing stats like course records and awesome stuff.
Like course records and also albatrosses to win tournaments.
You can plaques on the on the it.
Don't like on the gop. I think that's a great idea.
You have to. That's a concert golf really quick.
They tried to give me a four day old ham sandwich today at the turn.
Dude, it's ridiculous.
Date written on it. Like, what do you do? Concert fix our service.
Again, thanks for having us. We love it. Thank you.
But she's it's like now it's not.
It was not cheese on the ham notorious.
The tuna or chicken salad scoops.
But that's a little dicey, too, if it's four days old. Yeah. Yeah.
I didn't need it. But you paid for it.
I did. You know, I.
I think that the you know, I think that the plaque is a very interesting subject.
We can absolutely explore that more if you'd like.
I think these guys are tired of me talking about my albatross, but I do think it's interesting that you have multiple course.
I don't know that there is. I think it got to get out from the blue, in my opinion.
No offense to Brandon. I still may not agree with you.
Do you have any other course records? You maybe.
I don't know. I mean, the babe, I know the babe for sure.
What do you see there? Fifty eight.
He's fifty eight. What's par?
Seventy. Hard to last four holes to.
Oh, oh, that hurts. Just hanging on.
You have multiple. Yeah.
The multi-eagle on the backside.
Yeah. So it's.
Thirty five, thirty five. I shot twenty nine in the front, made the turn.
I think I equaled ten and then went birdie birdie.
Our eagle, maybe that's six.
Yeah, and then part out.
Please show this video of Mr. Bruner sinking three hundred putts in a row.
Dude, I watched this video. I don't know how many views that thing had.
It was a scratch. Give a shout out to whoever did it.
Scratch call scratch golf. Shout out.
By the way, I'd love to partner with you guys and get some love.
But I will just say that it was the viewer.
The views went up because I watched that thing probably like three hundred times today.
Like I just I can't believe someone can do that.
First of all, secondly, I can't believe that I put it like shit that week.
They were just doing like scratch was out there doing some stuff.
That was in Portland at. Oh, pumpkin pumpkin rich pumpkin rich.
So we played that when we went out to this place.
No worries. I think they just came out there to do a couple of cool things and they wanted to see like it was during one of the practice rounds.
They're like, hey, we're just you want to do the video like we got a couple of guys that have done it.
Just hit this six and a half foot or whatever it was and trying to see how many you can make in a row.
And it just got weird. Yeah. How many was it?
It was three hundred and I stopped. Oh, you stopped. Yeah, because I was like, if we don't literally know like a world record, I'm not going to just break my back.
I'm going to break my back and I'm going to go back to the league for the pre-tournament.
I was like, would I keep going? Yeah, sure.
But when I hit I was sitting, I think I was sitting four balls at a time.
Right. So I would hit four. I would get out of the setup.
Somebody would get them tossing back and I'd go back in.
But it was like, yeah, at one point, for sure, my feet are you could probably see my feet moving a little bit.
But, you know, eventually you grow.
You kind of dig a little groove.
It's it's it's it's messing for sure.
Right. I had a couple of buddies giving me shit.
They're like, oh, we got a groove.
It's like, fuck you. Insane, dude.
Insane. Like, I mean, and those greens were what kind of grass is out there?
Like I'm not Bermuda. No. Yeah.
I like your place, though. That's a sweet place.
It's like a band. I love that. I love that.
Did you play band when you're out there? No, no.
He'd caddyed out band. Did you?
I worked at a lot of cool places.
Now he's working for the pot.
Now I get Brandon lessons.
Lucky you. Oh, I love you.
Actually, you're you're actually you're part of did I tell you about my amatras?
And that's pretty special. So absolutely.
I'll work out. I'm going to take I'm going to take you guys with me to the moon after we partner with scratch and Daphne and all.
Getting back to your story.
So then when you started playing competitively, does it start in high school?
I went to a specific school because I had a better golf team.
It was still a public school, but I made that jump and basically do no one.
But that's pretty much when I started making decisions solely on golf.
Wow. Sure. At what point did you know, like, I'm like, I'm way better than I don't.
I don't I wouldn't say I do as a point where I knew, but it's just you just keep plugging away and trying to get better.
That's really what it was for me. Like every year, you know, you either you have status somewhere or you lose status.
You could have a great year, but you're like, you could get better.
It's just the way it is. Yeah, I didn't really think of it.
I had goals, right? Lofty goals for sure.
I just try to stick to the process. Really, that's what I did.
So then in high school, like, were you winning? Were you winning all of them?
A lot of matches. My main goal in high school was having a low scoring average.
That's what I always went after, like these scoring average kind of goals.
Back then, were they tracking stats? Obviously, you know, I mean, was it fossil like that methodology where you're tracking everything, right?
Like Scott Fossett. Fossett. Oh, wow. Hey, Ryan.
Ryan cut that out. Decade golf. Another another sponsorship.
Well, he is a fossil, by the way. And Scott, I don't care if I tell you that you're old school and I love it.
We need more fundamentals. You think he's old school?
Well, I mean, I think track is very new school, but we're like 50 years old.
Well, I'm knowing like from like having range finders and like fucking yardages on course.
My range finders, another T-shirt. That's a Bushnell, please.
Yes. Yes. I get where you're coming from.
Thank you. Golf. The how the app, the website, all of that is is dated.
Yeah, it is. Logging information.
You're like, this is Pac-Man stuff.
What? Visually. Thank you. That's what I mean.
That's what I meant. But what he's bringing to the golf world.
That's what I meant. Thank you. It's a better way to say it.
Is very ahead of his time.
It's interesting that you were tracking that, though, like scoring average like back then, because I even even back then, that was probably like a newer way to think.
Like kids probably were just like, I'm trying to shoot a low score.
I'm not thinking like averages and like trying to do math.
I don't know if it was like maybe that's how you earn player of the year back then.
I honestly can't remember, but it was always two things I wanted.
I wanted a low scoring average and I wanted to make it look good in the paper because that's when they print stuff.
All the matches would be printed.
That was a sweet fucking round. Nice 32.
But yeah, so I think my freshman year was like I was trying to be sub 40 for a scoring average in tournaments.
And it was it was like 39.
But then by the time senior year, I think it was thirty four point four, I think is what it was by Thomas Senior.
Do you think that it's harder to basically make it in golf?
Is it harder now or harder, harder than I just think it's a new era.
I think it's what define make it.
Well, I mean, like, like, do you think the competition like obviously the competition I would think now is harder than it was back then deeper.
The right the scores, the top players are still shooting the same scores per se.
Right. But there's just so many more.
That's always what separated the PGA Tour from, we'll say, the corner fairy or Latin tour.
Right. Like PGA Tour each week, maybe there's a hundred guys that literally could win.
Right. There's a select few.
This group of maybe 15 that's more favored.
But you go to a tour like Latin tour, like a lot of the guys don't have a chance to win.
They earn their status, but they don't have a chance to win.
You can't say anybody in the field is going to win.
Yeah.
It's just not as deep. Right.
Like when you look at the cuts in general, golf just it's technology now, especially these kids are coming up from, you know, Trackman technology.
And it's just they've gotten so much more information at a young age.
Yeah. Speaking of information, by the way, when the contest we're running is the flight scope, it's a used one.
But we're going to give this we're going to give this puppy away.
It's actually Amiibo Amiibo plus.
And for our what one of the subscribers we're going to figure this out.
The fifth thousandth subscriber, we're going to give that thing away.
It's broken. Actually, I was using it the other day and it actually broke on us, but it still works pretty good.
Unless Amiibo plus wants to give us a sponsorship.
This is a great opportunity for you to do it. But you're you're right, dude.
Like, I think that is technologies like, dude, it's amazing.
I mean, I've got literally souls that sounded weird, literally souls that you put in the house to say shoe inserts.
Shoes is a much better way to say it.
Souls. I have our support does look nice in those.
I mean, dude, we should hook this thing up and put our nipple mics on and go out there and like hit some.
I mean, we don't have any lights out there, but we can probably make it work.
But it was amazing, like just to be able to see the I mean, like you didn't have any of this shit.
Like, you know, was this pre Tiger or this was like kind of during Tiger.
So the big run of like people who are interested in golf hadn't even happened yet.
I imagine now with everyone that popularity of golf has only increased, I guess, since then.
Right. So anyway, I don't think golf has ever been more popular than it is right now.
And do you think full swing helped?
That probably will. I think it's going to only get better and get more of the net.
I think it was already quite I think COVID helped.
Yeah, COVID did help. Thanks, COVID.
We have a good we should we have a qualified person to on rolling the ball back.
Oh, yeah. What do you think of that?
I think it's a good in favor. I pan over and tie.
That's what you're here for. Yep. I'm here to be nerdy.
I mean, the ball thing. I mean, in the end, to me, it's about, you know, the PGA Tour.
Everybody's an entertainer. That's really what it is, right?
You're selling tickets. You're selling sponsorship. They're a business.
And if you don't get to see a guy like Bryson hit it three forty grand, he's not on the tour to PGA Tour anymore.
I think that's the only thing that's taken away from the fans like, oh, he busted it.
And it went 300. Wow. 300 like somebody at their club. It's at 300.
Somebody good chance that they're not going to be able to see somebody hit it.
Three thirty, three forty. You average three oh eight or three oh nine on on the corn fairy or something like that.
You're the analytics guy. I thought I saw that.
But now I think so. Yeah, it was for me.
I was always it wasn't necessarily the longest.
I think the PGA Tour, the way they do statistics is they do two holes each day.
Oh, interesting. One into the wind, one downwind.
Yeah. Sometimes they would give you a whole word.
If you're trying to manage the golf course, you're not even hitting a fucking driver.
Right. Right. Exactly. That's kind of shitty.
But holes, those are not always know because to me, it's like it's a big bug.
I'm just going to play my game.
But eventually after the first round, you know where they're doing it.
Is that a bird? I got it.
That's it. I get this thing.
We've seen bigger in here, though.
This is actually actually quite docile compared to what we're used to.
We're used to things.
The oh, oh, he's the quality of them.
That's going to lay eggs in his fucking face with me.
With me the first.
Your putting average was like one point seven or something crazy.
Like something I worked on the last year, but it just honestly was.
It was never my favorite.
Like statistic wise, it was one of the main things I focused on.
Like I said, if I can get even top 40 in putting on the tour, I'm going to it's going to be a great year.
It's going to be a great year.
Is my drive. My total driving was usually one of my best statistics.
So distance and accuracy. Right.
And scrambling was always good as well.
Dude, you're amazing at scrambling.
I've only played golf with you maybe once or twice.
The few times I have played with you, that was the I always saw these guys like that's the difference between someone like you and like, well, I mean, there's a lot of difference between someone like you and someone like me.
But I think that like the scrambling, the up and down, the putting is just amazing, dude.
And you don't even notice it.
Even play with Brandon.
What's crazy about it is you'll play around a golf and all of a sudden you realize that, oh, they just thought they just saw 67 when those guys like when he's playing or or Brandon's playing, they're only missing a few greens per round.
But they're always up and down.
But you're always getting up and down.
Like, yeah.
Right.
I mean, you'd like to say so.
I mean, I always.
Yeah.
The goods, the crazy stuff is sometimes if you're really looking at some of the guys that are shooting like 67 in a tournament, they may only hit nine or 10 greens.
Right.
That's crazy.
That's the real that's the ticket right there.
Right.
When you can hit 10 greens and still shoot four or five under.
Wow.
Geez, man.
It's crazy.
What's your take on the live?
I mean, that's that's serious money.
The thing is, it's like all those guys for the most part, besides a few, have spent a lot of time on the road away from their families.
Right.
And they're like, man, I could just cash in right now and be able to spend more time with my family and make more money.
It's like what everybody loves playing out there.
But to an extent, it you know, Billy knows you're on the road.
You've been on the road forever.
Even more countries than anybody on the PGA Tour for the most part.
And it's just not aware on you, especially if you have family.
For sure.
Yeah.
I mean, I totally get why they do it.
I just I hate that they're not all playing the same tournament.
Like, I just like seeing the best play the best.
And I feel like now it's divided somewhat.
I think it does amp up the majors, though.
I think that'll be pretty cool.
I mean, if they allow them, if they allow them to play.
Well, I don't think I thought I read today that the US Open, if you if you qualify for the US Open on their qualification standards already.
So past winners or past, you know, PGA winners or whatever it is, they'll still allow you to play.
But they won't give special exemptions to guys that maybe would be ranked high enough if they were playing on the PGA Tour.
So like that guy was a Taylor Gooch, who's won two events in a row, right?
He doesn't have a high enough world golf ranking to qualify for the US Open.
They won't give him a special.
But he could qualify if he if he played like the if he went and did a US Open.
He could literally do local and then sectional.
He'll probably be at sectional.
So get an exemption based on his tour.
I'm assuming unless they really went deep in it, but and started really just cutting them down at the knees.
But it's like, yeah.
How long were you on? Like, how long did you do the corn fairy?
I think I played 60 events, something close at fifty five, sixty.
If you are in the top 10 on the corn fairy, then you get wait, twenty five top twenty five.
Well, there's the left, but there's a twenty five for the regular season and then there's a twenty five in the playoffs.
Yeah. Have they made it harder to get on the PGA Tour or easier?
Like harder, harder.
Well, it was probably in 13 when they took away like the original Q school where you could go to Q school.
That's what I. OK.
And which was fucking sick.
You used to just be able to peg it for a couple of days and make it up, make it to the big tour.
But at least one of the rounds was at at least one of the sections, I'm sorry, was at Lake Javita at one point.
They used to be able to directly go to the PGA Tour from wherever.
But wait a minute. So you could play.
You could just play one event at the PGA. It's not one event.
I think it was six rounds.
I mean, you had to get through multiple sections and stages.
Yeah. Let's say you make it where you just get one PGA Tour opportunity.
No, I mean, you would have probably some you would have full you wouldn't be fully exempt into every event, but you would have full status.
It's a ranking basis still.
So even from the corn fairy to the to the PGA Tour, the top twenty five, the only guy that's going to get every start guaranteed besides certain special invitationals is the number one on the money list.
So then everybody else, like if you're twenty fifth first, twentieth guy, twentieth is going to get more starts than you guaranteed.
Wow. You got your tour card, but you still have to work for it.
And then the big difference is only the top seventy five right on the corn fairy PGA Tour is one twenty five keeps your card.
So you could literally finish, you know, seventy six technically.
Yeah, you would go to you. So the next ten seventy six to eighty five would go to final stage.
Wow. Right. But you're not you'd be a conditional member, but you're not you got to go back to Q School technically.
Wow. Yeah, that could be a whole pot of two of just Q School that we could get into with like Q School is awesome.
I mean, it's not awesome for you guys that have to do it, but it's awesome and just like a sadistic golf way.
Yeah, no, it's crazy. And it's it took it's a learning curve to me to write like it took me a while to figure it out because I was always I would always go to Southern Hills because it's right here.
And I'm like, I'm going to go to Southern Hills, probably one there four times per second stage.
Never got through one to a different site. And I think I went four out of five times. I got through the finals.
So I mean, you get the files, at least your conditional. Yeah. And it gives you it's insane.
I'm so nerdy. I go watch Q School at Southern Hills. Yeah.
I take work off and just go spectate. Yeah, because it's awesome because you can there's no like ropes or anything like you can just stand behind them like you can just walk with them and stuff like and I'm just a super golf jork like when you're care deck.
Appy Bond rat and Spencer Levine were in the same group. And I was like, that's what I'm doing for the next two days.
Just like watch them. Yeah.
Shout out, Spence. Can I ask some silly questions now? We could get Spencer on here.
No, I would absolutely lose my mind if we get Spencer Levine on. He will. He will do some weird stuff to him in the shed. I say that.
I mean, I'm just like, he's a he's like, I should have chill, dude. Yeah, he's chill.
Shout out Sacramento. Guys on remotely that don't have no weird work. We got the tech set up. I don't know if you'll notice that little window I got going on there. That was all Spencer Levine here. If we can get him. Yeah.
He'll again he uses Southwest and we do have some Southwest miles. Unfortunately, a lot of legs involved with the Southwest.
Not going to be direct, but we'll get you here. Who was the dude? Who was the dude that? Shout out this guy because I love them.
I only met him that one day, but we played golf with them and you were playing the you're playing the match play deal in I want to say Texas or something the next day.
And he was there. He's got a beard. He had amazing beard. He was a big dude. Matt Campbell. Yes, Matt Campbell. And that guy was amazing.
He could hit the ball so far and it was me and you were it. Yes. And you. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's right. That's right. Yeah. I know. I forgot about that.
Shout out that Campbell in your mind. Like what is the difference between you who is like the best golfer I've ever seen? Like one of them.
And then like a Jordan speed or like a like a top 10. I don't know if Jordan top 10 like a top 10 level. The best guys punt the best as well as she's a party.
So yeah, I mean, I think that's all right. I mean, putting is that's how you win tournaments. Yeah, we've had this conversation.
Everyone at your level can hit the ball like all of you guys are good ball strikers. Your take on it was it. It's that it's that two or three percent.
Probably mentally. So the question was phrase will use you as an example.
Tiger Tiger. Okay, so you take Tiger's skill set on that side. You don't get to touch anything how he hits the ball or anything like that.
But you think like him. You believe like him. You trust yourself like him. Everything on that side. Who, in your opinion, has the best golf swing of all time?
Who's the best golf swing? Yeah, who swings it the best? Who has the best golf swing? Tiger.
Okay, so somebody else.
Rom say someone that Adam Scott has always notoriously for great golf. Right. Sure. But it's textbook. Say someone else, which is not even good to say textbook.
There's like none. Just say someone other than Tiger. We can't use Tiger and Tiger.
Yeah, he just wants to be taken. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I'm just saying who's got the best swing.
Who's got the best swing? I mean, look at look at Will's Al Taurus. His stats of greens and red are like the best, especially corn.
Yeah, but if you look at this one, you'd be like, no, look at Scottie Shepard at impact. His feet are like, yeah, he's all over the place. It's not.
It's just it's weird. That's a hard one. Yeah. The point is, are you taking Tigers for your own game?
Are you taking Tiger's skill set that now you own? Or are you going to take let's use Tiger, Tiger's swing that now you own? What of Tiger do you want?
Skill set or mental? Yeah, no, just swing. You don't get like his putting or anything.
So what are we saying? Either his swing or his mental? Yeah, so like all of the stuff with actually hitting the golf ball, right?
So just like how you think, how you go through your process, your dedication, your mental resiliency, your toughness, how you handle pressure, all of that stuff.
Or now actually how you hit the golf ball. What of Tigers do you want?
I would go with the swing. You'd go to swing. Yes. Interesting. This kind of ties into what you're doing now with teaching, because like for me, an amateur, I'm going to hit a lucky shot.
And by the way, I'm happy to tell you guys about it again whenever you guys want as an Abitrass win a tournament. For me, I'm always trying to work on my swing.
I mean, I've literally got souls or shoe inserts here. Again, shout out to our sponsors. Salted. Terrible name for a swing aid, by the way, but it works.
I mean, it's amazing. But what's the reasoning there? Not to get off subject. Yes, I thought that's that's strange. Salted.
That because you share them with your friends and they're just salty by the end of the. Yeah. Nice swapping.
I'm not sure. I mean, there's probably a reason they're made out of deep dive into that. So what you're saying, though, right?
You're saying I work on more of the swing like I do swing aids. I'm looking at David boards.
I'm trying to like I go take lessons from Panda. I do. I'm trying to work on my swing.
Whereas for someone at your level, you know, it could probably make like you're already probably striking the ball extremely well.
A lot of times it may make more sense to focus on the mental side or the Scott fossil aspect of things.
If somebody like Brad who feels like he had a good pulse on his mental side, why would he take that?
But I think that's easier. Question was proposed as Joel Damon, who clearly struggles with a little self-confidence and self-belief.
So I feel like Joel Damon would take Tiger Tiger's mental skill set.
I mean, you can teach swing at a golf club, but you cannot teach that athleticism that he had.
I think you can teach more and someone can work at mental more than they can get that natural ability.
Like some people just. Can't hit it 350 yards. You cannot teach.
You can get teach distance, but you cannot teach everybody to hit it 350.
You can teach people how to react unless you get these insular inserts right here and you are able to shift your way at the right time.
Again, salted, terrible thing. Even Tiger, though, like Tiger had multiple swing coaches.
He had he changed the swing multiple times. I mean, he's the best, literally the best player.
Like, I don't know. It's just an interesting question because, like, I don't know what it is.
I can't have my guests getting eaten by mosquitoes.
OK, a couple of silly questions now. So one of our we actually have rules.
This is one of the best things about our podcast is we have zero subscribers, but yet we have rules.
We have negative subscribers. We have negative. We actually, if you delete.
Yes. Let me share with you some of the ones that we're that we have right now.
So one is glove putters, even though some of the best did it, which I didn't even know about.
We've we've we've come to we've come to consensus on that.
And then also no ball retrievers. Hmm.
Also, pay your fucking bets.
That's why I was really hard on on Shepherd here to pay his bet.
And I was actually going to pay it for him to make sure that I didn't because I didn't want I know he does pay.
He just like he said, he's got some people that don't pay their bets.
Right. Fast pay makes fast friends. Fast play is one for all fast.
Hey, he didn't say fast. Fast, fast, fast pay and fast play.
Now, I I'm OK with like I said, Venmo account like activity like I don't even care if like wins losses.
I don't care if you win or lose a lot. I lose a lot.
I lose mostly, unfortunately, lately. Thanks, Panda.
But I think that but I think but I think that the activity history has got to be like you got to you got to pay your bets.
You got to like have some gambling going on. OK.
So if it's a bet that I personally lose, I'm pretty quick at paying.
Yeah. But when it's a bet where I, you know, I collect is the organizer.
I organize everything. So we have if we have 20 guys playing and everyone says sends me 100 bucks and we're paying out, you know, four places and singles and two places and teams and skins like it legit will take me 15 minutes to sit down and do all of it.
Sometimes I just like I have a lot of shit going on.
I don't have 15 minutes to sit down and do math and not have anyone interrupt me and get it right because I don't want to be sending people wrong amounts of money.
And then they said, no, this this. I just want to make sure I get it right.
So it just takes me a second. Sometimes I'm just you know, I might be two or three days behind, but I'm always paying.
Yeah, no, I think you should charge for that. In fact, I actually am the only one that's probably ever sent you a monthly payment for I did it for a couple of months.
I'm like, why am I the only one doing this? I stopped doing it.
But I'm like, I'm like a little deposit. No, I'm like, no, I'm like, no, no, no, the deposit.
I like that idea.
I just pay up front. Yeah, before you even pay him a monthly subscription for like, thank you for being like organizing all this.
Like, thank you. Like 20 bucks extra. Like, yeah, send me like 20 bucks.
I'm like, hey, thanks for organizing the games for the month. And then next month, I did 25.
Who else does that? Like, how nice? Like, that's amazing.
Anyway, we didn't talk about how nice I am. Everyone knows how great I am.
Except for Kara, what who didn't give me a plaque or anything.
We're talking about some things to Brad of what? Yeah.
What are some things that you see? Yeah, this guy's this guy's probably not keeping it under 90.
No, well, rules for what are we what are you eliminating?
Yeah, iron iron head covers. I had another one. Oh, great one.
Except at one point you had iron head covers and no other head covers, including the putter.
Oh, that's weird. Yeah, that's the full Mongolian reversal.
Weird. OK. Actually, we've made a career out of being weird and weird.
OK, but that is no iron head covers.
You can have that. And the only reason I had those, Brad, is because I had those Mizuno's.
Actually, last time I played with you, I had them and you're probably like, what does this do?
Play with these things.
They were the copper ones that had the copper flipped on the outside of the Mizuno MP 20s or whatever.
Yeah, mega blades with iron covers.
But then the driver, the driver and the putter just digging into each other for 18 holes down the fairway.
Very personal, right? People don't want to iron cover people.
Yeah. Don't want to talk about their iron covers. Right. It's like a.
Like it kind of takes balls to bring iron covers out to me.
I mean, that's such a slower way to play golf. Like, you got to be kidding me.
Why? It's like a half a second. I don't think it's slower.
It's scummy, but I don't know that it's slower.
You're taking one off and putting it back on after every shot.
What if you have the wrong club? You got to take it off.
Put that one back on. You're the one that had one.
I got I got rid of them. I first of all, I couldn't hit those clubs.
I don't know why. Did you get rid of them like iron covers?
I'd say like I probably I probably lasted like a couple of weeks with that.
Like I didn't know what year it wasn't. Was it pre albatross or during or it was it was free.
God, that's a great question. I don't know. Did I?
The covers might have been on for the albatross. Yeah.
OK. Yeah. Because it might be worth bringing that back. Yeah.
Find your mojo. Yeah. Fuck everybody.
There's a guy on the PGA Tour who goes to gloves and iron covers. His name's Aaron Rye.
I've seen that. It was an interesting reason.
They just like he wanted to be humble ish.
Yeah. That's why we're like it's like it's like he's got his iron covers because he grew up without a lot of money.
And his parents were always buying him clubs.
So he got used to taking care of the stuff that he got.
So it's like a way to to stay humble and stay like true to himself.
Who else would you kick off like love putting here's a two gloves.
I don't even like to bring family to this, but my father-in-law uses iron head covers.
Get rid of them. Great guy. Great guy.
But we got to get rid of them. Sorry, Mr. We don't say the real name.
He's got to set him down. Yeah. Mr. Brad's father-in-law.
You know what? I mean, I get it. We can't. I'm not going to watch them.
I don't get it. That's the point. I don't even get it.
It's your throw it. You are sending these clubs in an ideal situation.
90 to 100 miles an hour into the ground.
Dirt and rocks. Great point.
I mean, what in the hell are you protecting?
Well, OK, so then what's the point of driver head covers?
Because I hate driver head covers.
But I'm on my new. By the way, I call my my guys paint.
I got the new paradigm. Right.
And and I've reluctantly decided it for a paradigm.
One of them. And the only one that works for me is the driver.
So so the I got the new driver and I call it the Will Smith.
And the reason I call it the Will Smith is because it sounds like Will Smith
smacking the shit out of Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Oh, if you catch it right. And then I called my three wood the Jada
and I call my five.
Tell it. Hey, so OK, listen to this.
We were in the car all psyched up for our master's trip.
We drive up to Pana Vigre, which he also can't say.
And we're going to play a course and he gets out his bag.
These guys show you this new five wood I picked up.
And he picks it up and it has first of all, it has a hybrid head cover on it.
So we're like, what the hell is this?
I open it up and I look at it and he bought a four hybrid instead of a five foot.
Yeah. Is it still in play?
Well, it had. Yeah, it was the best club I had all week.
It was here's the thing.
It it it doesn't have the four or the five on it.
It actually has the degree of loft.
And I'm sorry, like I don't know the degree of loft.
It has a twenty three on it or something silly.
Like I don't know the degree of loft. I'm not that like Indigoff that like I know.
So I'm not that in that I have nine hundred swing aids, but I don't know what loft equals.
But my point was just get on with that.
But my point was that like I have I have head covers on my drivers and like all of that.
But like, what's the point?
You're still smacking it into a ball like really fast and like like it's just a lot of work and like a lot to keep up with.
And you're not getting get that much more out of it.
Like, I don't know. You guys really professional point of view, right?
Yeah. This is just me on an iron top line.
The top line you see is very minimal.
Like, right. Yeah.
When you set a driver down and it's got nicks all over the top of the head.
Oh, that's a good point. Yes.
OK. All right. That makes sense.
Good. A little more delicate. Good answer.
Good answer. All right.
You want it all chipped and beat up.
All right. All right. That's a good point.
All right. So, OK, any other just sweet kick anyone else off here and we slow play.
Yeah. What's a bad look?
Oh, man.
Which is a not great look out there because I've probably done it.
I've had most of the bad looks out there.
I've whined after betting too much and then like hit a ball out about.
I don't know.
Give me some examples and I'll yeah, your name.
I don't because it's hard.
I don't know that looks like.
Yeah. Iron covers are very noticeable.
Yeah. Multi glove.
More than one glove.
A 14 way bag instead of just like a standard six way bag.
Yeah, that's bad.
Yeah. You're just not going to be elite.
There's like a there's like a handicap maximum if you've got the 14s.
But again, 14. Those go hand in hand.
Those guys. Right. Yeah.
Yeah. 14 bag divider and iron covers.
Fuck those guys.
I think we I think we create a side hustle of Brad just shows up places with with all of these things.
And he's like, yeah, you're trying to play, bro.
Alien wedge. Yeah, exactly.
You'd be like it'd be like punk.
It'd be like you got like the oh, the golf sandals is a good one.
They make like foot joys.
That's like a sandal, but it's got spikes.
That's a tough.
So I'm going with those over iron covers, though.
I have to take my self a little bit of a risk.
I'm going to have to take myself off the pot because I've had those before.
I when I first moved to Florida, I'm like, everyone wears sandals.
I'm like, why would I wear shoes when I wear sandals with spikes on them?
So did you wear metal spikes on warfare?
I did a little early on. Yeah.
And then the real pain, I didn't find it beneficial enough for me.
The real pain is when you're going to the clubhouse because then you need to literally carry another pair of shoes or you see a lot of guys walking into dining in socks.
Wow. And your shoe is just like to me, it wasn't necessary.
If I thought it was going to be an advantage for me, some people are more have more footwork, right?
They move differently, but I don't know.
I definitely.
Yeah. Yeah.
Sheffler wearing metal spikes and doing all that.
I wouldn't think so.
I think he'd rip and he wears a tiger, but he wears a tiger shoe.
But I don't know if it's a metal spike, but I would assume not.
I know a tiger and filler, a metal spike.
You'd see a lot of guys doing one foot in metals and others.
No way.
Yeah. Wow.
This is why, dude, thank you so much for joining us tonight.
This is amazing.
We would have never known that.
Do they stamp their clubs with like the I've heard this too, where you may have like a particular club and then you'll you'll stamp it titleist.
And by the way, titleist, if you want to sponsor us, I'm not saying that titles are bad.
I'm just saying that like I'm using that is the first club that came.
So or Mizuno or whatever.
Like if you're comfortable playing Mizuno, but you get sponsored by titleist, you can play Mizuno, but we'll stamp it with the titleist.
Not at the corn fray level.
I mean, if it is, I mean, the only person who comes to mind on that whole thing is Tiger.
Yeah.
Right.
Because I heard he did that.
Right. Like with Nike, he was playing.
It's hard to say.
I never saw it.
So I couldn't say for sure.
Right. I don't know.
You hear about it enough.
It tends to be kind of true in a way.
Right.
Right.
That's what you do.
Oh, I got you.
Tiger has like a club builder.
His name's Mike Taylor.
He does artisan golf now.
And the old alleged rumor was that his irons weren't really Nike.
They were like a Miura or another Japanese company, and they would just like stamp a swoosh on it.
So I know in tennis they do this.
It's very common.
Oh, we paint the rackets.
Yeah.
Yeah, that makes sense.
In tennis, like players aren't using technology today.
So like any of the top top male players are using rackets that were probably made close to 15 years ago.
And they just every year when like Head or Wilson or Babylon releases the new technology and the new racket and they change the cosmetic, the players rackets stay the exact same.
They just paint it differently to look like the new one.
And in two in it, the only thing I've heard in a marketing for a marketing reason, which is mostly why they would do it, there's only so many players that actually move the needle.
Right. Right.
There's 10 guys that actually people are like, if that's what he's playing, more people are going to buy it.
Otherwise, the guy that's maybe 50th on tour, nobody is going to go buy those clubs.
Some will, but not as much as if it like what about Bridgestone when Tigers started playing Bridgestone balls, right?
It's like they had to go through the roof, right?
Nobody's buying Bridgestone before Tiger played Bridgestones.
Good question here for you, Brad.
Yeah.
What's your favorite club manufacturer?
Like go through.
So like drivers or like just say driver in Fairway Woods, irons, wedges, putter.
Currently or ever historically.
And like what would guys play if money wasn't if they weren't getting contracts?
What would you feel like most guys would play if money wasn't, you know, in the last few years?
We'll say that right.
If no, if somebody wasn't under a contract, people are playing ping drivers, at least from the 425.
That was huge.
That's ping drivers, you think?
No, it was a stat.
Oh, like no, no contract guys are playing.
Yeah.
Oh, thank you.
What other flavors you got in there?
You can get a pineapple, Dawes.
You can have a claw if you want a claw.
He said you didn't want to.
You don't want a pineapple.
I love mirrors.
You can have whatever those are if you want one of those.
They were great.
I think mirrors are good.
Mizuno, blades.
As far as blades, right?
Blades go mirrors.
Probably the best that I've hit.
The more the boutique brands.
I couldn't say I haven't hit them, right?
But mirrors are, for a production company, probably as good as it gets.
Then I would probably say Mizuno's.
What about wedges?
Wedges?
I mean the thing is I've always played Titleist, but they're cast.
They're not even forged, which wouldn't even be the best feel, but they still feel good, right?
So I don't know.
I mean, I've just, I don't really, I've never changed balls in a way.
I've always stayed Titleist.
Probably once.
The ball changes, but I don't, I try to stay within a certain ball that they offer.
You know, putters.
How many putters do you own?
Probably 30.
Oh, and then to his point, most kangaroos are left handed.
I found out.
So you can be a kangaroo.
I think that's actually kind of fitting.
You got a pouch on you?
Dude, look at your shirt.
That's amazing.
That's amazing.
Panda.
That's what you're here for.
That's what you're here for.
That's amazing.
That's amazing.
Panda.
That's what you're here for.
That's what you're here for.
That's amazing.
This is great.
Sorry.
I might knock on our cameras and shit.
All right.
Got excited about that.
I get real excited about spirit animals.
It's a big thing I'm passionate about.
So the, uh, I'm christened.
Yes.
I'll take it.
Kangaroo.
That's a great guy.
That's a good draw.
Yeah.
Cause you keep saying, I don't like mine.
I want a new one.
Terrible.
The only reason I was, you don't get to, you don't have a say though.
He just started calling me Panda and I just went with it.
Uh, and by the way, his wife calls him Panda now and when they're making out and then the,
the koala, the only, the only reason that he doesn't like koalas.
Cause we started doing research on Koalas and they, we found out they're pretty stupid.
They're like the dumbest animal.
Like you, you can't get bruises left-handies.
Uh, yeah.
Or South Paul's question for you.
Do you call, do you call a right-handed person North Paul?
Definitely not.
It's just something I, why they call people that.
So, okay.
Could you, let's get to the silly questions.
This is what I'm all about.
Um, this is really why I'm here for, you know, are you considered, this is what we brought
this up with your, your brother, Bald Eagle.
Is it, oh yeah.
Are you lefty everything?
I am.
What, what makes you a left or right?
Is it the way you write?
I think it is.
Right?
Like, I think that's what determines whether or not your left-handed or right-handed is
it the way you write.
What you eat with.
Okay.
Which is going to be the same as you write.
Yeah.
Uh, that was silly.
No, because I eat with my left hand.
You're a freak.
I'm right-handed.
Psycho.
Shepherd eats people.
You're actually left-handed.
Shepherd eats people.
Uh, I shoot pool lefty.
Do you?
Yes.
The whole, your whole family's.
What I dominant are you?
Left.
Are you?
Yeah.
Huh.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I think both eyes are.
I blame my shitty putting on being right-eye.
We have a democracy.
It takes a second.
Open both first.
Oh, that's what you do.
Okay.
Close one.
Okay.
That's way over on the right.
Oh, it stays right there with the left.
Yeah, right.
No, he's right-eye.
Yeah, right-eye.
Okay.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
We don't know.
What did you say?
Life is a lie.
On the tennis court, I can tell you what that means.
Have I been, have I been living my life like the wrong way?
On the tennis court, if you're right-eye dominant and a ball's coming to you this way and you're
turning this way to hit a forehand, you're tracking it with your left eye, but your right
eye is dominant.
That changes things.
Just like a backhand does.
If you're turning this way, now you're tracking with your right eye, which is closer to the
ball.
That changes how you would move to the ball, your footwork patterns.
It changes a lot of things at a very high level.
Hey, do you want to join our tennis league that we're going to restart back up?
Oh, yeah.
We had it.
Dude, that was fun, wasn't it, Payton?
Who are you texting?
Are you texting your wife?
No.
I look over on one of the pods.
It's okay, you can do it.
One time we were-
We still make out.
He needs to check his phone.
Yes.
We were doing a pod and he was taking a picture.
I'm like, what are you taking a picture of?
And he goes, I'm just proving to my wife that I'm actually doing a podcast.
She thinks it's completely bizarre that I've spent three hours in a shed with a bunch of
dudes every week.
Said it'd be better if I was cheating.
She'd be like, okay, I actually understand that.
Because I try to explain it and she's like, well, who listens to it?
I'm like, no one.
No one.
Yeah, we haven't released any of them.
She's like, what are all the cameras for?
Is it live streaming?
Like, no.
At the time, I want him to get used to record.
I have him trained to look at the record button as long as the record button's happening,
then we're good.
I think the next thing I want to ask you is silly questions.
Caddy situation on Corner Fairy.
How do you find your caddy?
Do you have one that you're regular with or do you-
I did last year.
Okay.
Most of my starts were as a conditional player.
So you're kind of, you can't really guarantee somebody starts like, hey, we're in this week,
but we've got to play well for the reshuffle.
And then you don't know.
So it's hard to get people to commit.
So then you're getting some locals.
Yeah.
And that would get harder on Latin tour.
Those are interesting times for sure.
How long were you on the Latin tour?
Two years.
Okay.
And what was that like?
Yeah, just-
That was something.
Yeah.
Just spill it all.
That's got to be super fascinating.
I mean, we could start with-
I heard that there's, I don't know if it's Panama or Columbia or whatever, but I was
talking to somebody.
Well, because I'm getting so excited.
I heard that there's like a casino that's a brothel and you can double on any number
at Blackjack.
I don't know.
I don't know about that one.
I think it was Columbia.
Your mouth is like, why?
Regardless, I need to get there.
I was like ready to book a plane ticket.
Like you can double at any time.
We love degenerates.
We love degenerates.
I will say in general, my gambling in South America never went well.
You're always getting fucked somehow.
Are you guys gambling with each other on the course when you're playing these?
There was always a match.
I didn't get into it for a while.
I didn't know about it until some of my buddies told me.
Because you have to keep it quiet probably, right?
I mean-
Not really.
One of the guys, especially Korn Fray, he'd always come around during a practice round
and he's like, you guys aren't gambling, are you?
Kind of in a way where I'm just saying that to cover our end, but it's like, you know,
we're fucking gambling out here.
This is, these are long days.
We've got to make it worth something.
But it was always a thing.
Especially if it's like Saturday and you're pray T64.
This is mostly like practice rounds.
But during tournaments, there was always a bet that was going on with anywhere from probably
six to 12 guys.
It would be a bogey free.
If you went bogey free, everyone owed you a hundred.
If you went birdie free, you had to pay everyone 200.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
Oh, that's why you're on.
That's a good one.
That is a good one, dude.
All right.
That's thank you for that.
Okay.
Let's just say Brando gets all these sponsorships and I'm able to get you a sponsorship exemption
into the Masters.
Would you rather have, which could easily be plausible for sure.
Salted.
Salted.
Salted is going to make that happen.
Terrible name.
What's that?
Salted is going to make that happen.
That or Daphne.
Anyway, by the way, we haven't given a shout out to Chris Paul.
And then I also give them a shout out to Scott Van Pelt on every episode because for me,
after I hit this, I thought for sure I would absolutely be on ESPN.
There's no cameras though.
I think you need a clip of it for Scott Van Pelt.
Scott Van Pelt is a golfer.
He actually lived in Orlando for a long time and my wife is sorority sisters with his wife
or like newer.
And I'm like, all you got to do is send an email to his wife and then I can easily be
on top place.
Yes.
Like top.
Come on, please.
So until I'm on ESPN with Scott Van Pelt or, you know, I was sick Chris Paul.
So anyway, it doesn't stop, right?
Every episode, every episode, I put it in my rap song, which again is going to debut
at the end of this episode in my comment section or whatever.
Blow it up.
When I'm able to get your sponsorship exemption into the Masters or whatever, would you prefer
your own caddy who is like been with you from, let's just say you had a whole season and
you know, it's like you guys have been grinding together and you guys love each other.
It'd be like having Panda out there with you, you know, like great, love Panda.
Or would you rather have like a local caddy who understands the greens really well and
can specifically to Augusta.
He's saying to right to that's a tough call.
If you're going to take it tomorrow, I'm going to always lean towards the team.
I'm going to go with my team.
OK, now, do the pros consult any of the local caddies if they're new to that course?
You know, I would say if anything, maybe the caddy would.
But it's like, you know, you go somewhere and the starters like, oh, everything breaks
towards the water. It's like and that's false on the second hole.
You're like, yeah, this guy's just he's terrible.
He just he's just the starter.
He's just here to cause chaos.
Yeah, he's he's the first mental officer sees that way.
Yeah. Oh, you're playing the back.
He's all good luck, Sonny.
So well, OK.
And then what about the situation where we saw at the Masters in Augusta?
We thought it was kind of odd that the caddies had to wear the uniform.
I thought this was the craziest fucking thing I've ever seen.
The caddies are out walking the course without the players bags.
There's helps out the course.
We would practice around.
Yes, we want to practice on Monday.
They're just the caddies are just out there walking the course.
Yeah, still in their white get up.
Oh, they just it's got to be a rule form, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Could you could you have you been to Augusta?
No. All right. We're going to take you with our sponsorship exemption.
And it's going to catch.
I was waiting, but I was like, it didn't happen at this point.
So we'll get to know.
Now, I've been waiting on that lottery.
So we just like we're going to pay a lot of money for a stupid practice round.
But we should definitely make it after about it.
It was a lot of fun. It was so much fun.
But could you could you do you think you could figure out a way to sleep overnight?
Pay for a practice round, sleep overnight in some azaleas or something without the grounds.
Like there's a lot of groundskeepers figure out a way to like sleep somewhere
where they're not going to find you and then wake up.
And all of a sudden you got you're you're in a Friday round.
Haven't been there. You guys would have a better idea.
I don't know. It sounds highly doubtful.
Yeah. He also doesn't think that there's the tree farm with the replica trees.
This blew my mind. Did you know China controls?
You know, China controls the weather.
China. Come on. Yeah.
Come on. Help on this.
You know this. Did you know that I'm not a weatherologist.
I sound like a Looney Tune.
I somehow sound like a Looney Tune.
Like he made me feel stupid on this. But here.
Yeah. So China controls their weather.
They can control the whole country.
They can control. Not for the world.
Not for the world. Just for China.
Like or like it's a big ass for Beijing, Shanghai, Zhuhai, Chengdu.
Like one of the popular countries.
Even still, that's a piece.
Yeah. It's like one of the popular cities in China.
They can control the weather.
So if they are in a drought, they can make it rain.
If there's rain clouds, they can shoot up chemicals to like make it go away.
They can create sun. They can create sunshine.
They can make it clear.
They can do all kinds of stuff.
Come on. Wait. Yes.
Wait. How do you know this?
Well, because I would spend four weeks every year there
and it happened to fall over.
I think they call it the direct translation.
I think they call it Sun Week is when all of China's.
If you have a normal like nine to five like blue collar job,
you get off of work for one week, like a vacation,
and they want all the workers to enjoy it.
So they create sunshine for that week of the year.
So create sunshine.
So we're like the the tour would go always like Zhuhai, Chengdu,
Beijing, Shanghai.
So we would always be in at the first two stops and it'd be in China.
The pollution is so bad.
So the weather is always smoggy and like it's just ugly weather.
It's never sunny.
And then all of a sudden we hit Beijing and just beautiful sun, blue skies.
And we started talking about like, what the hell is happening?
And we started just asking locals and they were telling us, yeah,
like there's a massive amount of people in China that work on this.
I actually Googled it.
There's 40,000 people that are actually on the case and they have.
It's a true thing.
I'm like this blue dude, that was that was the biggest take away
from the trip. I'm like China controls the weather.
But I wonder why they don't do it.
Iran is too costly.
Like it's kind of kind of dicked up to be like, hey, you guys have bad weather.
You get a week.
I think it might.
It's probably not the best for the environment to be, you know,
I would assume messing around with it.
But there's other like so when the Olympics were in Beijing,
the they really amped up what they could do because they wanted to make sure
the firework display was on a clear day or a clear night.
So they figured that out.
So they've been at it at this for a long time.
And then like conspiracy theorists think that when we were at war in Vietnam,
that they were making it rain the whole time.
And that was the technology has been there that long.
Yeah, they think that was a big conspiracy that like they were producing
like crazy amounts of rainfall to make the war, you know, more difficult
or whatever the hell the reasons for.
I mean, I'm sorry that that's fascinating.
That blew my mind. I didn't know that.
Couldn't you eat a golf ball and live?
Can you eat a golf ball like not you, but like can a human being
like a shack like someone huge?
Swallow it. Just swallow it.
Not through their butt.
You chew it if you want, but you're probably not going to get a whole lot.
I'm sure you could see me and Brad or team.
You could do it. I don't think you can.
I don't think you're getting a golf ball. I don't care how big you are.
I think you're getting it down.
I think you are of swallowing a golf ball.
Like, I don't think you're going to live.
People swallow swords.
That's a great counter argument.
I have a great one.
I mean, that's all I'm keeping it PG, too.
It's very true. I have a great one.
So my brother, Bald Eagle's wife.
Oh, this is that's his name.
Do you know this? Yeah, I don't know.
No. OK, yeah.
I just like that.
I just like that the story is about swallowing stuff.
No, no, no, no, no, no. My brother and my wife.
Sorry. Sorry, Steph.
Fuck. Let's say a real day.
But that's OK.
Anyways, she is a
she's not a surgeon, but she works in surgery.
And so she
a guy came in at the at the yard and they needed
he had something stuck up his ass.
And so they went and did x rays and stuff.
And they saw a light bulb was stuck up this guy's ass.
Intact, intact, fully intact, was stuck in up his ass.
Like a normal size light bulb.
These were all questions we asked.
Yeah. How did it break?
The long line.
I don't know. Like, was it a floodlight?
Like all questions we asked.
How many lumens? Yeah.
So anyway, it was just a normal standard light bulb
stuck in this guy's ass.
And the best part of it all was, guess this guy's profession.
Something super normal.
He's like a dentist. He was an electrician.
Hey, he's got a lot of them.
Did they get it out?
Yeah. I mean, obviously, they got it out.
Yeah, obviously.
I mean, I hate to say this.
This is bad. First thing comes to my mind.
That's a that's a couple of loose sphincters, huh?
Yeah. To not squeeze. Yeah.
Yeah. Thank one cough and it's game over.
Yeah, no, but it's it's thing didn't break.
How nuts is that?
One sneeze and you're done. Thank you.
Cough sneeze. How do you sit down?
He's not worried about that.
That's what I'm saying. I think it was a plastic bulb.
Work in the ER a lot.
You probably have a lot of stuff up, but stories.
Don't they have shows like that? Yeah.
All right. Let me first of all, let me take care of our guests.
How are we on time? Are you OK? Tired?
I mean, I have two children under four.
Yes, I'm always tired, but I'm I'm here.
Might as well. I'm here. OK.
OK. All right. Good.
I mean, honestly, I wish I was like didn't have to drive home
and I would be we would need way more.
You can definitely see here. You can absolutely see.
That would be not good.
So it's funny. We said one time, like,
have you ever slept in the shed before?
And I was like, yeah, yeah, definitely.
Stuff in the last time.
So that's a night. Huh?
Many times, I'm going to say many times, I'm going to say
he's done just about whatever you think is possible in this space.
Actually, I've done pretty much what you think is impossible in the shed.
Exactly. So like so what?
Like the couch.
I work. It is. He works in here.
You know what? I work.
Well, I've had those moments, but actually, you know, the most amount of time
I've ever spent on the shed, the most amount of time to my wife's like, dude,
I have a I have an amazing life because she puts up with so much shit.
And the fact that I went to Bandin and our caddies had covid
is like right in the peak of covid.
And we were like, covid will kill you.
Like, you know, it was like scary.
Yeah, it was scary for like a solid minute.
You're like, oh, fuck.
I mean, you got flexi wrap myself.
You think they could control the weather, they can control the damn fucking covid.
Like, come on. Or did they?
Yeah, exactly. They did control it.
Anyway, so we go out to we go out to Bandin, our caddies
had a runny nose all the time.
Like this guy looks sick, dude.
Like he's the coffin. I'm like, oh, that's not covid.
Next thing you know, patient zero.
Yes. Next thing you know, me and Crane again,
another experience with Crane.
I mean, we're in a rental car back to the airport, back to.
And then we're playing actually play pumpkin.
And then we're back to the airport.
And then I had I got covid and I came back here.
I come in, kiss and hug the wife and kids.
And then I'm like coffin.
And then they're like, hey, honey, give me a covid test.
She gives me a covid test positive.
And I'm like, fuck.
And so she puts me in the shed for like a good week.
Oh, a week.
Well, for like, well, for like three days.
And then she takes and then she's like,
I can't do this anymore with the kids.
Like, like there was no school going on.
It was like during the summer.
So she was like, you just got to come in here.
You just got to come in here and like deal with the kids.
And so I go and so I start and she's like in the negative covid.
So I gave the whole family covid because of my golf trip.
And I'm the band.
But I spent a good four days out here in the shed quarantine.
It was fantastic. How much of this?
Of the setup came from that time, though, like well, pictures and your.
Oh, dude. I have a good question.
I guess so Panda has a has a legendary match coming up
that we're going to try and view the fuck is this thing?
Well, that's a big B.
What animal? You don't want to eat that.
Horse fly. Get it, Panda.
It's like a June bug. What was what was you saying?
No, the first thing about the animals, would a grizzly eat?
Oh, yeah. Well, the first thing is who would win in a fight
between a grizzly bear and a silverback gorilla?
There's very much so a right answer and a wrong answer.
What was it?
A adult grizzly bear and a silverback gorilla.
Go gorilla. Wrong.
Well, I'm going with the claws. Thank you.
Yeah, I guess so. We're back with that one.
It's snout is out.
It's like seven times the fucking size and its hand is like the size of our face.
Now hold. And that's why I want you to book Mark Shepard.
Where you're going with that story, because I do want to ask your opinion.
Have you seen Cocaine Bear, though? Cocaine Bear or Cocaine?
Yeah, Cocaine Bear. Right.
That is a film. You know about it. Great movie.
I just saw that. Oh, it's good.
Well, I've seen here's the thing. They made two of them.
They made a documentary about the movie. OK.
And I saw that. That is fantastic. Gotcha.
That tells you the real story about what happened.
Basically, this drug dealer,
if I remember right, I was I was pretty sick.
Also on mushrooms. I was not on mushrooms.
Had Nyquil that night because I was sick.
But but it was a coke.
But I watched it and was really interesting because I like this guy.
There was like some drug trafficking going on and like this guy dropped bails
of cocaine and like supposedly they found a bear
covered in the cocaine and fucking went like wild, wild.
Like, I mean, I'm talking about like, I mean, it's so and and they they
what they named it the number one apex predator.
Yeah. For us for a second, it was OK.
It was the you got to see it.
They made a movie about it. Netflix.
Yeah, it's on that. Oh, no, it's on.
It's like a movie.
It'd be number one. No movies on Netflix.
For sure. No, no, no. It's too big for Netflix.
It went to the theaters.
Yeah, it was like an actual film.
So the other story.
No, it's real.
I mean, like, I feel like Netflix is bigger than the theaters.
Not really. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah.
It's not. But it's all right.
Go ahead with your.
I got a silly friend.
He like fucked up his right.
You know, he fucked up his left hand.
So he was getting he was getting pretty dusty for like multiple months.
He was hitting balls every day with just his right arm.
And he could get to the point to where he could hit like a driver,
like 150 and kind of straight.
He could hit like he could like bun to seven iron, like 100.
And he can obviously like chip and putt one handed.
He said and I said, I'll take you to the I'll take you to the wood.
We'll play nine holes.
You play will both play the red tees.
You can hit it with just your right arm and I'm going to throw it.
I'll beat you by five to six minimum.
What's his original handicap?
Original handicap? He's probably like a great question.
He's probably like a three or four.
He's like fellow.
That either. Yeah.
He's like fellow PGA member.
And he practiced that for how long?
Constantly.
Hours, hours on hours.
This guy could have been like a 30 handicap.
Yeah, exactly.
And we're like, I mean, I could be close.
No, he's like he's like a decent golfer.
Yeah, he's an above average.
He teaches he teaches a golf.
How are you going to putt?
How am I going to roll it?
I'm going to roll it.
So I got like long arms.
I said, so what is the rule?
And he says, well, you can't move your feet.
So to me, like everything inside of like six feet.
There you go, Peter.
Give me a close up.
Drop it.
Just like drop it in the hole.
That would be a match.
I'm going to golden tea style.
Oh, I love golden tea.
My thing is, oh, fuck.
Yeah, my golden tea is so I got a good golden tea story on the road for you.
Actually, in the whole night, we drink Absinthe.
Spill it. Oh, that's a great one.
OK, let's skip your story.
Put a bookmark on that.
No, that's OK.
I'm giving the edge to the one handed guy right now.
Really?
So my whole thing is like, I'm not going to throw it in a pond or anything.
Right.
Even though he's a decent golfer, like he might leave the face open on one
and like hit it in a trap or something.
He might hit it in the water or a trap or something like I'm not going to throw it
in a shitty spot, in theory.
No, that's true.
Everything inside is six feet.
I'm good.
I just want because I can just like reach in and like drop it.
I told the guy I give him two hundred dollars to do it.
What would I say? I made it very reasonable.
I think we're up to three hundred total.
Fine. How long does this guy practice for?
That's like three months.
I'll do it. I'll start hitting shots one handed and we'll just go battle.
You don't have to pay me shit.
OK, I will say if he was right handed and it was his left arm.
I'm giving you the right handed and it's he's right handed golfer.
Right hand is the healthy hand.
I'm going to if it was the other way around, you have the edge.
I think that's the only chance he has.
Panic and panic and sling the motherfucker, though, I imagine.
Like look at look at him.
It's not even about slinging it like he can't.
I can sling it, you know, through the javelin high school.
It would be interesting. Did you really?
I got it. This is the moneymaker.
You're going to have to do it really to me.
You're going to have to play it out.
Can you arm wrestle? You look like a good arm wrestler.
I don't think I'm a great arm wrestler.
I play baseball and so over the picture like I got some arm strength,
but I don't know that it's really I don't think it's so much
how far it can hit it or throw it.
I think it's just that I'm not going to throw it into a shit spot.
If you're in a bunker, you're easily tossing it out.
Yeah, like I'm just underhanding it out.
And he's got to hit some like filleted fucking one armed ship from 30 yards.
Like I got to think he's going to let me ask you, do those caddies?
They don't they don't talk about this kind of stuff on their caddies.
Now they didn't. Caddies are caddies are a good animal.
He did a podcast a few weeks ago with a couple of caddies
that had started a podcast.
Oh, that's where you're going.
Shout out, shout out to what what's it called?
Life on the Loop.
Life on the Loop. Ready to partner with you.
Everybody to do this. They would.
Yeah, well, I'm sure they would because they want to piggyback
on our excellent questions that we got going on here.
Can you swallow it? I'll fall.
Everybody love everybody.
I love on the real note, though, it might be a good collaboration.
Let's do it. So who wins in that scenario, though, in your opinion?
I don't know. I think it's going to be tight.
Oh, I think we should do it.
I think I kind of like like worst case scenario.
Well, I've already offered this guy $200.
I don't know what else this guy wants for me.
Why is it easy? Scared?
What is his name? What's his first name?
Pat. Pat, why are you so fucking scared?
Why are you a bitch?
Why are you a bitch, Pat?
And by the way, we're cool with bitches.
We're cool with females.
We're cool with as long as you're not a glove putter, as long as you're not
a slow player.
And ironhead cover. Yes.
For club divider.
Clothing, golf, sandalware.
It's cops.
Although I still like the original idea we show Brad up that
I like the socks and golf sandals.
If you were a loudmouth clothes.
Yeah, dude. No, thank you.
But I agree, do loudmouth got to go.
Wow. Come on.
Sims wear some loudmouth.
He wears the what's the little llama looking thing?
Bad birdie.
Let's put it this way.
If you have two pieces of clothing on from loudmouth, you can't.
You're allowed one piece of clothing.
But now John Daly, absolutely welcome any time he wants to come.
Like, that's that's our like that's our market.
Like we want degenerates.
We just don't want the other people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We don't want people trying to be like John Daly or not.
Like, here's the thing.
We actually told some John Daly he loves Panda is like obsessed with John Daly.
Like John Daly, my other guy you are talking about.
He will do weird things to them in the shed here.
I heard this one story about him.
And this better be right, because it's already in one of the pods.
And I've already edited it and paid for it.
So hopefully it's right.
Where he peed off a balcony.
Did you hear this one?
Oh, yeah, you did.
OK, so I'm not I'm not off on that one.
Pretty sure it's valid.
OK, that's what I thought.
OK, thank you.
Out of the club.
Yeah, it's good.
All right. What club?
I'm not sure. I couldn't remember that part, but you know, Bel Air.
OK, all right. Good.
And that's not even around anymore.
So it's OK for us to tell you.
I don't think he really gives a shit.
I don't think so either.
Yeah. Yeah. You know, probably right.
I played with him. Yeah.
But he again, I used to play money games at Clearwater Country Club all the time.
Right. Well, so that's what you said.
Shout out, JD.
That's what we were just talking about. Your favorite guy.
We were saying that, like our favorite, like our demographic favorite.
I said you do weird stuff to him.
And the other guy I was talking about earlier in the shed.
I'm like, that's our demographic.
Like we are completely like loudmouth.
He was saying we can't have to we can't have loudmouth.
Like you got to get out.
He's well, he's the one human being on the face of the earth that like gets a pass.
Yeah, no. Yeah.
Dude, that guy is like it's really that's it, though.
Yeah. No, that guy stops and ends.
Can he still play decent golf? Absolutely.
I think he could.
But did you see what he did in the team event in Zurich with Duvall?
Yeah. What do you do?
They were they shot 80.
Yeah, they shot a million.
I think it was the alternate shot day.
But man, that was that was a tough one.
It's mildly competitive on the Champions Tour, though.
Are you going to make a run at that, Brad?
That's a good question.
That's probably more up to my speed at that point.
Yeah. What's your favorite course ever?
I mean, the one that comes to my head all the time, it's
wasn't like the best.
Golf wise, but I played the USA at Chambers Bay in 2010.
I was sick.
Was it crazy place?
Why?
I mean, from the clubhouse view, probably the best I've ever seen.
Just the whole course is down here.
You're looking over the.
Oh, the clubhouse is up high. Up top.
Yeah, you can see the whole thing.
But it was just it was four holes where there was no birdies.
They make it up and it's in 12 of the best amateurs in the world.
And nobody made a birdie on four holes.
That's how stupid it was set up. Wow.
That's not what they did to the what they did to the US Open there, too.
It was it was truly robbery of them because it looked like dog shit on TV.
Oh, it's such a it's such a fair golf course.
It's like it's so beautiful.
Why did it look bad?
Because the greens were like, fuck, they're rescue.
They're rescue grass greens.
And they were shocked.
They were just.
Yeah. No, my my favorite.
My favorite term is we have lost the golf course.
I love that. Yeah.
So we're making shirts.
Got come out and one of one of them is it just says Chuckless.
If you're like at a nice golf course, it has grass.
It has grass. It's Chuckless.
We're going to send it kicked out of our club.
That's fine. We'll build it.
We'll build our own.
I like Chuck, but damn it, I get it.
Dude, it's so frustrating.
We wouldn't play.
We wouldn't play some of his other properties.
I almost killed myself.
I we literally played. You'll get a kick out of this.
All right. Great. Not my best moment.
OK. But it was a Chuck course.
I'm just going to go and bring it up.
So we're playing it. We're playing that course.
And where was it? It was Pontiff.
Come on. It was Jack O'Vill.
And it was it was what Hammock, Hammock Dudes.
Oh, no. By the way, Hammock Dudes has the best Yelp review ever.
And Crane pointed this out.
He was like, we're going we're trying to play there.
And on our way to the Masters, we're trying to figure out
like how we're going to play some courses on the way back.
And one of the reviews was
this course sucks.
It there's zero hammocks.
Love that. I love that.
The only negative review was the fact they had no zero hammocks.
OK, so all right.
So we were playing this course and then it was it.
Marshlanding Marshlanding.
Thank you. That was right. Yeah.
Marshlanding. Great course. Whatever.
I'm texting him. I'm phoned in some swing aids.
He's like he's like panic texting me.
He's like, ball ball keeps going left.
What do I do?
He goes straight back, straight through.
It's straight straight physics or straight science.
Or look at your book.
Get yourself in the nuts.
You repeated it all the rest of the round.
It was straight back, straight through.
Leisure sport.
Leisure sport. Enjoy golf with your homies.
Stop. Stop panicking.
Yeah, yeah. It's so it's so I of course,
and then that lasted two two holes.
I'm like, I got to figure it out.
We get to this one hole and then it was my pop hole.
Right. Which are very important when you're playing for money.
And I completely blow it.
I go into the water and he drains.
He's an amazing he's an amazing teammate,
which we're going to kill it on Friday.
I can't wait to play with him again.
And he he saw an amazing putt, amazing birdie.
It was unbelievable.
And then Crane,
guy that like I'm sharing insults with.
He he ends up sinking like a 30 foot putt to to push.
Right. Because he popped as well.
Yeah.
Hard at bird.
Good. Yeah.
Pardon that birdie. I go to the next hole.
Yeah. He's fresh.
I guess we're walking off the hole and he looks at me.
He's like,
Shepherd, you've got to let me know when I stroke.
I get like it's my fault.
I go up to the tee box.
Just need some time by myself.
There's a house here.
There's a house here, Ryan.
This is a perfect opportunity for you to drop in this little picture show.
So there's a house here with like some metallic art. OK.
And I'm like, wow, this is amazing.
Like this lady's got a taste for a collective cross of time.
Like, like, yeah, she's got like one.
And then all of a sudden, you're making this sound way too good on yourself.
So this lady's house was.
100 yards away.
Brutal. We're playing from the tips.
No one played.
No one's ever played these tips before.
This is why you're standing over the ball thinking this.
No, no, this is. Wow. Look at that house.
They're still on the green. I'm so frustrated.
So I go over, I grab my driver and I'm walking over the tee box.
I'm like, I got to like fix stuff.
I'm like straight back, straight through leisure sport.
Got to get some practice.
Fun with the homies, whatever is panda things tell me.
And I'm like, OK, so then I'm over there and I'm like,
what's this metallic thing over here?
I'm like, this is weird that she would put this.
She put this art here on the tee box.
That's kind of weird.
And I pull it up and I'm like, wow, that's pretty Marilyn Manson.
And World War Two mine.
That's pretty Marilyn Manson.
This sounds crazy. I got to show it to you.
This is crazy.
Do you get this is at her house?
You walked over. This is on the.
He's on the tee box and there's this.
He sees this lady's house way off in the distance that has art,
like not even close to where we are, like literally 100 yards across the pond.
Like and she has like these crazy art sculptures.
We're now on the golf course on the tee box.
I see that first. That's on the tee box.
That's weird. And he and he thinks it's the lady's art somehow.
I already know where this is.
You already know what it is. Oh, yeah.
Dude, it's a mole trap. Exactly.
He picks up a fucking mole trap.
Dude, I'm sorry. I'm from North Carolina.
You took that home.
Dude, I picked it up and I'm looking at like, what the fuck is this thing?
I'm like, what kind of Marilyn Manson looking thing is this?
And I'm like, that's kind of weird that she'd have this kind of art.
And I'm like, spring.
What are all these spikes and stuff?
Dude, all of a sudden I get it too close and I trigger it.
And it like that.
Like, they heard it. They heard it.
They heard it. They heard it.
And it like literally almost fucking.
Dude, I believe it. It could have killed me.
He had marks down his arm.
It was so close from entailing his arm.
Thanks, Chuck.
Yeah. Where's your fucking mole trap?
Well, dude, so you should have a sign there.
In my opinion, you should have a sign for people that are from the city.
No, you should not have a sign.
That tells me we're playing the tips that should not be played.
It tells you don't go into people's yards and fuck with their shit.
This was on the T-box. This is the point.
He saw the art way off in the distance.
And then he's standing on the T-box.
He's like, oh, wow, why would she put art here on the T-box?
Not even on her property across the lake.
And he's like, oh, wait, it's got to be her art.
Who's else art would this be?
She's running lines to this piece of art.
Yikes. Well, we've covered everything.
I mean, I have a look at my list here.
I've covered a lot. Crazy Bets.
Oh, have you heard any crazy bets with caddies before we let you run?
The only crazy.
Oh, you said you had one that's like one of those kids.
And I was like, what? Yeah, it was like very degenerate.
I love it. That's what we're all about.
This is as degenerate as it gets.
Look at Panda. He's so focused.
I love this. This is the greatest day of my life.
Just talking to Brad about weird.
So before I used to caddy, right?
You can't even get it. Yeah.
All the moral. Oh, that's that's out there.
That's either way. It's fine.
Shut up. The course. This is where it happened.
Two guys came into town.
One guy, I'm assuming, was stuck with his child who is probably, I don't know, 15.
Said he was playing kid played two holes.
They played about the two of these guys played fifty four ish holes.
Yeah. In the day, right?
This kid is just doesn't want to be there, but he's there
because his dad has a gambling problem.
Ten grand a hole for what?
Let's go. No way.
For fifty four holes all day.
And I got my my guy probably won about one hundred sixty thousand.
No way. I'm going to get fucking paid today.
Let's go. I'm grinding. I'm going to get hard.
Percent. I'm working hard.
This guy breaks off me and the other caddy, the same amount.
It was probably six hundred fifty bucks.
I'm like, this is fucking bullshit.
You got a punch. You got to just punch him at that point.
I mean, I was you got to take the kid hostage.
I was like, what is this is trash, right?
I worked hard. Weird.
I know they have a divorce rate there.
So if you are recently divorced and you need somewhere to stay,
you can see you can pay a cheaper rate.
Yes. To stay at the at the cottages there.
I have not heard that. But what sheds are for?
Shut out tough sheds sponsorship opportunity.
I mean, I'd seen it to where there was twenty five guys and twenty five caddies
in one hole, just a complete shit show playing one hole.
Three holes would take like two hours just getting hammered.
And it was just it gets it would get wild.
One of the caddies, she she was actually fantastic.
She was the best one I've ever had out there.
She goes, she goes, yeah, you have like 160 yen.
I'm like, OK, you know, let me get it.
I like it with the wind was against us.
I was like, give me my eight iron.
She goes, I'm going to give you your four iron.
And I go, that's way too much.
She goes, well, you're not exactly flushing it today.
I love that. That's great.
Did you hit it? Yeah.
No, I got grabbed by eight and ended up 30 yards short.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, that's normal. That sounds like a normal day.
No, no, no, no. But but so so this guy, so he says, hey,
so my buddy that's a member out there, he goes, hey, this guy there,
see him there with the big old bottle of wine.
I can't show his face on.
I can't show his face on the but but this guy, first of all,
he's a really good guy.
And we've played golf with him on a regular situation.
But look at that bottle of wine. Just fantastic.
So he he was he was.
Yes. So he was he was my buddy goes, hey, man,
I know how you get when you drink this like now.
He's like, you get a little excited, like calm down.
This is my work buddy.
He goes, you need to take it down a couple of notches.
I'm like, no problem. Thanks for the invite.
So I go out there like this guy shows up drunk at seven a.m.
Like I'm like this.
You're telling me to come up this guy.
So by the end of the day, working to if you're drunk at seven a.m.
like you got to you got to try. Yes.
So here you go. It gets better.
So this is the video. I somehow get this on video. Look at that.
Oh, let me just go to the fall.
OK, so you can actually hear the glass break.
So what happened there is he sliced open his hand.
He sliced open his hand and needed stitches.
Now, what's amazing about that place is one of the chefs broke his nose.
Oh, my. Look, there's his face right there.
His great face.
And then also what's great, what's great about that place is like they
are like within seven minutes, like this is like two thirty in the morning.
We're like stumbling back.
They come out there and they've got it.
They got it down pat like they've got a teeth and they come out there
doing the hazmat suit, wiping up the blood like he's ready to go.
And then they get another guy.
They're like, we got a first aid kit.
That's not going to cut it for this.
Like we need to do something more.
Who could drive? And we all start laughing at them.
It's not going to happen.
None of us. And so they're like, OK.
And so they're like, OK, well, who's going to go with us?
Like we can take them. But who's going to go with this?
And like we look at them, we're like none of us are going to go with you.
We're going to pay you a lot of money and you're going to take them
and you're bringing back here. I'll sew it up.
So, by the way, so this guy was a member at
concessions and the next day part of our golf trip,
we had guys from North Carolina flew down for this.
The next day, we were actually going to concessions.
And he was our our ticket in.
We have a tee time at like 10 a.m.
And great. We'll go we'll take them.
We'll take them. We'll keep you posted.
And so they're texting us.
They're like, he says he's going to go low concessions tomorrow.
He's like, he thinks he's like this guy's completely over.
So they go and they put 10 stitches in his hand.
And like this guy, I mean,
great, like he's perfect for the pot.
Like this is who we're looking for.
Like this is like hot material.
No, he woke up. He woke up at six thirty.
Ready to go. His bags packed. He's ready to go.
He's like, what? He's like, I don't know what happened.
Like my hand. I don't know what happened.
Like what's going on? He's ready to play.
We're like, dude, you cannot play golf.
Like you have to.
He's like, what do you mean? I have 10 stitches.
You feel it off.
Best part. Six thirty in the morning, this guy shows up at our door.
And he goes, hey, man, I'm here to clean up the rest of the blood.
I'm the blood guy.
They have a blood guy.
Let's love that.
I love they have a blood guy there.
That's just great.
Yeah, I mean, it's hard to go wrong in a little cottage action there.
Did you did you play like before Latino and like corn?
Did you play like any like major mini tour or anything?
Play the golf tour for a couple of years.
E-golf. Yeah, e-golf.
What was that? I want to get into like Hooters tour.
And you did that. Yeah.
What is what is the Hooters?
Because Hooters used to be dusty.
Like Hooters used to have like a Q school.
Oh, yeah, they did.
And it was kind of when I started playing, it was that was kind of phasing out.
And the e-golf tour came in and
that was a solid tour.
I mean, a lot of the guys that ran it
work on the PGA tour now, like they transitioned and did well in that way.
But yeah, there's just not a great like sub
developmental tour anymore, unfortunately.
No, there's really not.
I don't know if you saw, though, the.
Tour.
The Americas now, the Latin tour and Canadian tour, Merge and emergence.
That's pretty solid. I think that's solid.
Yeah, that's good.
Is it?
Yeah, so and you can't you can't go directly back to PGA now.
There's not a separate tour, but I think it's like the top five go directly.
That's fair. They earned it.
I mean, you're paying it a Q school.
Am I playing? Yeah, no, we're done.
Not Q school, not right now.
OK, I did it like 12 times.
Yeah, that's sick.
A lot. Yeah.
Orange County, Orange County.
I did it. Orange County. Yeah.
I play that course a lot.
That course is silly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not 12 times.
There's always one of them.
There's always one guy who shows up and.
Yeah, that's what we're going to do with him.
Double gloves.
We're going to make him like that and he's going to school everybody.
I love that.
No, we got to get him to just like show up at some random public course.
We got to get what's your boy's name again?
Pat. We got to get Pat to do his thing.
Yeah, we'll set that up.
We'll get drone footage and everything.
I don't know. I've asked you four times now, so I don't know.
I got it. Give me a month.
I'll hit you. Pat's a bitch.
So in fact, if he's listening, I hope he hears that.
Pat's a bitch.
Is he does he think a grizzly could eat a what is it?
Grizzly could beat a panda.
Yeah, he's right.
Panda. Yeah, he's probably team team silverback, which is just inherently wrong.
Fuck that, dude.
Once again, me and Brad, same wavelength.
You know, I guess, yeah, team clause.
Brad, thank you so much for joining us, man.
I'd love to have you back.
We'll do it. Let's do it again.
Talk about Latin tour, much some of that weird shit, but absolutely.
We'll do it again. All right.
I have so much content we could get into.
Yeah, man. Thanks for joining us. Appreciate it.
And here you go, y'all.
This is the world premiere of Albie Albie's new new theme song.
New outro music.
