spk_0
All right, so like i said, this is gonna be a different episode
spk_0
And we might call this one. I haven't talked to you about this. We might call it reentry
spk_0
Okay, because after every golf trip. Oh, there's a period of reentry
spk_0
Back into real life and i feel like that's what the last week and a half has been yeah, we could call reentry
spk_0
We call it divorce avoidance
spk_0
Whatever you want to call it
spk_0
You're
spk_0
Your points
spk_0
Everyone's familiar with this uh situation your your points
spk_0
Go into the negative
spk_0
Immediately when your plane takes off yeah, and wildly over overdrawn at that point
spk_0
You come back you've got a few NSF fees you got to figure out how to repay those
spk_0
Kind of what happens in real life. All right, so
spk_0
Let's just get this out of the way
spk_0
You were supposed to play lakeside. I don't think you've done it
spk_0
Oh, no full reentry
spk_0
The heat shield the parachute didn't open
spk_0
I crashed into the ocean basically at full speed it's straight out of orbit
spk_0
There was no chance to go play. I wasn't about to do that now
spk_0
um
spk_0
Lakeside is a little harder because
spk_0
Because you don't want to show your face there
spk_0
Because they have my because they have my face on a poster in the in the uh in the pro shop plus they're all out of shopping carts
spk_0
So I don't I think they're all of course or buried uh halfway into the ground. So I don't know
spk_0
I had a couple groceries. I needed to get on the way
spk_0
Uh, I don't know if they're available
spk_0
Here we go. Just dig it in
spk_0
We've got reports that lakesides and actually really good shape. I
spk_0
From who the onion
spk_0
The
spk_0
Dig the heel dig is is that all time level. Hey, let's look here's the deal. Okay. I don't know that it's gonna happen today
spk_0
It's Thursday morning. I have a football a football game to go to tonight for keegan
spk_0
Tomorrow I am playing um, I'm in a scramble tomorrow
spk_0
Uh, and then Saturday is my day marked to try to play lakeside just so you know
spk_0
Uh, oh, yeah, so we're we're coming down to Carolina straight
spk_0
Families coming down to Carolina a couple days before you and I get together
spk_0
Um, we're gonna go down and hear all about wake forest basketball baseball football cricket uh volleyball
spk_0
Hopefully there's no hope here's a foul trouble. Here's the deal. They're all preseason number one
spk_0
I just want to go ahead and give it to you. They should win the national title in every single sport
spk_0
I'm highly confident that if they don't they were cheated by whatever officials were roughing whatever game they were in
spk_0
But the point is Saturday is the day now the only thing I've done. I did have a simulator session
spk_0
Uh, here at the house. I hit I had a little simulator session
spk_0
So you're still feeling good still swinging good still swinging fine
spk_0
And then I went over green briar just reopened like one day ago
spk_0
And or two days ago. Yeah, I did too uh two days ago. I went over and shipped and uh went to the range
spk_0
Before before work. So okay, but they were literally just opening
spk_0
But they're open but like half of the putting green is blocked off
spk_0
Number one has a temporary green number number three has half the green roped off like it's one of those things
spk_0
So I was like, okay, I don't even want to come out here and play um, okay, so anyway, it's it's lakeside
spk_0
It looks like lakeside if it happens is gonna be Saturday. Let me just make this comment
spk_0
Lenny
spk_0
Lenny, I want you to cue the Rocky music. I want you to cue something aggressive
spk_0
Um, like yeah, no rights to the Rocky music. What?
spk_0
What are our fake Rocky music? I don't care. Whatever it is. I want to be nasty
spk_0
Can lakeside I'm coming for you. Uh, I'm coming for you. I'm charging
spk_0
Uh, I'm going to charge you like
spk_0
Like a freaking ninja like a bull that just saw red flag. Yes
spk_0
I'm gonna take a bow video
spk_0
Madonna's take about I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey and I'm going to annihilate you
spk_0
And I just want that I'm gonna come at you and I'm gonna come at you hard. I'm gonna take all your clients
spk_0
Um
spk_0
So there you go. I love this. I love this. So next week we might hear about a revenge round
spk_0
At lakeside. Mm-hmm. Where
spk_0
Where you and I by the way next week you and I will be recording together
spk_0
Yes, we are trying a new concept next week a final major major preview uh that we will record all in one day
spk_0
And post I'm sure there's nothing that's gonna go wrong with it
spk_0
Whenever we try something new it always works. So I'm excited about that. Yep
spk_0
All right, well my reentry was a little similar. I was I was gonna play twice this week
spk_0
But Monday was weather was horrible, but I did play yesterday
spk_0
Okay, and I played at
spk_0
The old town club in Winston which you know, I've gotten to play it. I think three times now
spk_0
Okay, it's one of the best courses in North Carolina. I played with old friends from the bank. Oh
spk_0
One of those old friends bill my good friend Bill Holland is a member. Hmm. So he's he's how we got out there
spk_0
But I play with Bill John and Josh
spk_0
Bill John and Josh those names all sound made up, but we're gonna keep going
spk_0
I guess you never met these guys did you know there's their winter me's
spk_0
um
spk_0
The
spk_0
Whitey fists. They're the whitey fists of our podcast. I don't know who they are
spk_0
Well John is my old boss. Did you know I met John? I never met him, but I do remember I remember you talking I remember you talking about her
spk_0
I remember talking about culture from crant John from the bank. Yeah, I know
spk_0
I mean I remember you're talking about him
spk_0
Well John I mean
spk_0
John's the best well if if not for John
spk_0
I don't even know if we're if we're talking right now
spk_0
I don't know if we're talking about this podcast because he gave me so many opportunities
spk_0
I thought you meant you didn't even know if we were friends. Uh, I was like man John really had an impact he saved our friendship
spk_0
Yeah, then not many people know this, but uh you lie nice friendship was darn near death
spk_0
2006 and John stepped in you want to hear scary? Uh our friendship was literally in the river in the eye
spk_0
And it was it was women Lotto gambling. Uh, Lotto
spk_0
uh
spk_0
No John uh, John was my old boss and
spk_0
Honestly, this podcast probably doesn't happen without John John gave me every opportunity that they're that I that I ever got at the bank
spk_0
In fact, let me go to rock. I don't know if I ever told you this he let me go to Raleigh
spk_0
He could have easily blocked me from going to Raleigh. I'll just say that like
spk_0
Politics wise, he did not he did not have to let me go
spk_0
Um, and he let me go which if I would if I never got to Raleigh this podcast doesn't happen. It's a good point
spk_0
So no rally no
spk_0
Um, oh my gosh, why don't I go and bring dead what's your what's your course in Raleigh?
spk_0
River Ridge River Ridge no river Ridge
spk_0
Yeah, those sharks with freaking laser beams on their heads. Yeah, yeah
spk_0
And all I played with softball with those guys. So that's that's that's how I first met met them and I was not
spk_0
That's how the story of the softball incident. Oh, I don't think you did but every time you say softball
spk_0
I mean when you said it five seconds ago
spk_0
So
spk_0
My stomach turned a little bit. It's the first thing I think about should I say it should we tell it?
spk_0
Leni Storytum music come on
spk_0
Okay, we're re-entering here. We can talk about anything. Yeah, it's reentry everybody
spk_0
Let's re-enture let's re-enter into this story
spk_0
First of all, this is really how the podcast almost never happened. I mean
spk_0
That's true. That's true
spk_0
So I'm not a very good softball player. Okay, like
spk_0
Like I was a pretty decent baseball player, but I quit at 11
spk_0
So when I got to the bank though
spk_0
A bunch of guys were on the softball team. They asked me to play and I was like yeah, I play and I always play catcher
spk_0
Because that's the that was pretty much the the my my skill
spk_0
Limit was yeah, just catching a large arc arcine softball
spk_0
But one game I've been playing it. I've played for a few years and one game
spk_0
We're in the last inning and I've I've been catching and somebody either gets
spk_0
Catch catch some are either gets hurt or gets thrown out
spk_0
I can't remember which one which one it was but I
spk_0
I remember and bills like Mike. I need you to play
spk_0
Right field I said okay
spk_0
Whoever get and no one ever hits it to right. I guess the right field in a softball game. Not sure
spk_0
Everybody's pulling it. Yeah
spk_0
Uh
spk_0
So and and there's up there's three outs left. You know, there's I'm like okay
spk_0
What what could what could what could possibly go wrong? So
spk_0
The first hitter actually flies one down the foul line
spk_0
In right field I dive for it and I'm and I just can't can't quite get it
spk_0
But I'm like man. All right. I'm already getting some action here. No one ever hits a direct. Oh maybe they saw me
spk_0
And realized that they should direct our we're gonna direct our stance over the right field
spk_0
So there's two outs and then a lefty comes up. Oh, I'm getting sick
spk_0
And first pitch lined shot
spk_0
And it's kind of in the gap
spk_0
And I can't tell I can't tell if I should let it bounce or I should charge it and try to catch it and I'm like and I'm like
spk_0
25 at this point 26 maybe and I'm like no we're charging this thing
spk_0
I'm gonna catch this and we're going to catch it because I catch it I end the game yeah
spk_0
So I'm charging I'm charging this line drive trying to trying to catch it and
spk_0
But I'm coming in an angle. It's a night game and
spk_0
All I remember is the last thing I saw was the lights. I'm following the ball. I'm following the ball and I see
spk_0
All I see are the the the spotlights
spk_0
lighting up the outfield I
spk_0
lose the ball last second and it hits me straight
spk_0
Straight shot
spk_0
in the right testicle
spk_0
No bounce
spk_0
You know, no carom no carom off the leg
spk_0
No, nothing now that you would like say Mike were you wearing we were in a cup? Nope
spk_0
Were you wearing brief no I was wearing boxers? Oh my god. That's how
spk_0
That's what it's like anybody out there in your 20s how invincible you think you are
spk_0
So that should be the true that's the true
spk_0
Like benchmark of
spk_0
Invincible thinking it's like where's he at he thinks he's untouchable. Well, is he breaking the wall? No
spk_0
He's at their playing softball. He's a softball. He wearing boxers boxers. Yeah
spk_0
Uh, oh my gosh. I get sick every time I think about this
spk_0
So I hit so I immediately hit the ground, but I'm like
spk_0
Obviously the I hear the the runners running so I I can do it Johnny
spk_0
I jump up. I picked the ball up. I throw it to second
spk_0
You can't and making the stops I know this yeah, you got to through the ball
spk_0
I got through the bogus is it just adrenaline but as soon as I throw it like you know that feeling when you get hit there
spk_0
It's up in your stomach like yeah, just the worst pain ever
spk_0
And I then I then fell on the ground
spk_0
But it's like part of you doesn't want to admit that you just let that happen. So you're just like
spk_0
No, I'm going to
spk_0
We try to walk here. I'm fine. I'm gonna walk this off. So I get it
spk_0
So I get up someone asked me if I'm alright. I'm like yeah, I'm fine
spk_0
I'd probably say yeah, I'm fine
spk_0
Like but I can't I like when I say I cannot breathe that I really am struggling to breathe. Yeah, but there's one out
spk_0
Still one out no
spk_0
We go through three more batters before yeah, we lose the game
spk_0
So everybody no one's happy with me obviously because I just lost the game
spk_0
And so then I walk in I get to my car and I look down
spk_0
And it is grapefruit size oh
spk_0
And I call I remember I called my dad. I was like dad. This is what happened because you know you're 20 you don't know
spk_0
That you never have you never been sick
spk_0
I was like dad uh
spk_0
What do I do I need to ice this thing and he was like you need to go straight to the nearest hospital
spk_0
And I was like okay, so
spk_0
I called Bethany on the way and I told her what was going on and she met me there and
spk_0
We're and you know you're in the ER in the waiting room and I'm just in agony and
spk_0
Kudos to Bethany she went up and was like can someone put
spk_0
I don't know if I told you this she was like can someone please help my husband he just got hit in the junk
spk_0
Thanks for being there for me
spk_0
Mary a woman who calls it junk man out there. That's when you know you've done well
spk_0
That's right
spk_0
So anyway those guys and those guys are still friends with me in the junk
spk_0
Those guys are still friends with me so kudos to them
spk_0
Oh, wow fake names kudos to you all well done
spk_0
But anyway, I'm playing with those guys it was awesome seal
spk_0
Whoever else was there john bill who was Josh John Josh yeah, all right um
spk_0
But anyway, it's awesome to be with those guys and also john we always play wolf with john so we were playing wolf
spk_0
There were some snarling. Yes, it was very fun
spk_0
But a couple a couple things I'll take away. They won't I won't go hold by hole here. I hit the ball
spk_0
Pretty well
spk_0
Okay, but I'm going to give you some shot pattern statistics that I've probably I don't know if I've ever said these words
spk_0
My short game strokes gained I lost eight strokes
spk_0
What? I'm just gonna say this the grass in
spk_0
Scotland
spk_0
Is different than the grass here
spk_0
By so far of a like I could not
spk_0
In shoppatting to have those they have those things that have that section called score killers. Yeah
spk_0
I want you to guess what my stat for two chips what is oh, I have no idea
spk_0
I had six
spk_0
What I had six times that I chipped
spk_0
Twice now the course was set up very tough. I think they have a championship this weekend
spk_0
So greens were flying so that took some gain used to too, but like the just every feel that I had was still the same like and it took me
spk_0
Short game your short game in Scotland was really good. Oh, yeah, like really good. Yes, but
spk_0
All those fields of like where to land it yeah, and like I had I think I had four chips come back to my feet
spk_0
But good example
spk_0
fourth hole
spk_0
par five I hit my drive
spk_0
318 down the left side
spk_0
Good night. I'm going forward into I leave it out right. I've got I'm pin high right
spk_0
25 yards away. I hit I hit this shot and I'm like that is perfect. Yeah, it hits just past the hole and runs off the green
spk_0
Oh, and so but it was like you know
spk_0
Your eyes your eyes are just or my eyes after six rounds now are you?
spk_0
They're European I got the European me
spk_0
I've got the I've got the European whole milk inside of me
spk_0
Um, they see European greens from now
spk_0
These eyes have never seen a green in Winston-Salem that lows like it isn't Scotland and I'm never gonna have a short game again
spk_0
I
spk_0
Yeah, so I'll just say that yeah, it was an 86
spk_0
okay
spk_0
But with eight strokes lost
spk_0
But I'm not like just just that stat alone. I'm normally plus short game. Yeah, so
spk_0
So you hit the ball you hit the ball pretty well then just short game lit you up hit the pretty
spk_0
Hit the ball pretty well short game short game lit me up and putty now is plus two
spk_0
So nice, okay, still putting still putting well. Yeah, well, I did it's funny. You mentioned a short game. I was
spk_0
Literally in the shower before I came down here. I couldn't sleep. I didn't sleep well this morning. I woke up early and
spk_0
As is the case when you can't sleep you know what you do
spk_0
Uh, I'm playing riverbend. Uh, so then that turned into shot patterning shot patterning riverbend
spk_0
Mm-hmm and that turned into thinking in the shower about
spk_0
The grain and the fact that I don't deal with grain
spk_0
and there's a and the wedge you know like the wedge
spk_0
The wedge set up at riverbend remember two years ago or three years ago
spk_0
We played our practice round and I was like what the heck is wrong man? I can't find
spk_0
The bottom of a wedge and you were like you have the wrong wedge and so I had to change my grind
spk_0
And then all of a sudden everything was great. So but I was like oh my gosh. It's that time again when I
spk_0
Don't know what I'm doing
spk_0
I gotta remember how to do this again
spk_0
It riverbend so and that and that's that's where I miss red
spk_0
I miss red lies yesterday and again probably just because I was just I felt so
spk_0
I was so overconfident because I was like no I can do anything yeah, I was clipping everything so tight
spk_0
Everything so tight and Scott one like you have now and I was like no, I'm going to hit everything in the middle
spk_0
But like I had a couple lies where the grain was coming at me yesterday and I just didn't respect it enough and
spk_0
Didn't use the bounce tried to try to do something like I was on
spk_0
You know Scottish Scottish turf and I paid dearly for it. Yeah, so
spk_0
So yeah, I think the next week. I'm gonna be
spk_0
The good news is cardinal has so much permuteus. I'm just going to be
spk_0
Living in the Bermuda
spk_0
Yeah, wanting the Bermuda needing the Bermuda
spk_0
That kind of stuff so uh, but this this 86 is interesting because
spk_0
um
spk_0
A question we'll get to a few questions that came from Scotland episode in a second, but one of the questions was
spk_0
someone was looking at our gin or gin or I can't remember what it is
spk_0
And they said hey, where's your 70s round?
spk_0
And I said well
spk_0
Here's the issue we chose to have those nice rounds at old petty, but old petty is not open to the public yet
spk_0
So I yeah, we didn't I didn't know this but it's not on the gin app yet. Yeah, it's not on the gin app till next year
spk_0
I don't think that's a day. So yeah, so that's a dagger so that that round is not on our handicap
spk_0
And then I'm gonna put in this 86 right now
spk_0
But I'm gonna tell you I just remember to I haven't logged you said to log these I forgot to log them
spk_0
You forgot to log Scotland yeah, okay, well, I'm gonna put in my 86 you get from yesterday right now
spk_0
in with all my Scotland rounds
spk_0
And I know I have a 2.1 differential falling off so I I have a feeling yeah, okay
spk_0
So here's the here's what I'm going to call the paradox
spk_0
Lenny paradox a paradoxy old music, okay, I'm as confident
spk_0
right now
spk_0
In my golf game quite possibly as I have ever been in my life
spk_0
Like when I think about level confidence. I'm walking around. I've the Zara thruster walk
spk_0
Uh, like that's that's how I feel when I think about my golf game
spk_0
boxer shorts and softball type confidence
spk_0
Exactly
spk_0
He's diving or he's confidence level right now. He's diving around in boxer shorts to catch fly balls in an adult league softball game
spk_0
That's where his golf game is that
spk_0
Seriously, it's it's at that level
spk_0
Even even this little short game thing. I'm like I'm gonna figure that out and yeah in 30 minutes. Yep
spk_0
And when I think about going to riverbed next week
spk_0
I'm not sure I should say this out loud, but I I expect say it right now. I expect a break part
spk_0
I expect to shoot even power. I
spk_0
I mean like that's that's my level of expectations gentlemen
spk_0
Because I feel that good about my game
spk_0
Wow, you put me on a course. I know right now, and I just feel like and again, I maybe I shouldn't say that
spk_0
But I'm just gonna say it. I don't say it say it
spk_0
So I'm I'm at that level confidence-wise and yet
spk_0
Here's the paradox
spk_0
My handicap is now the highest it's been I believe in two years. It's a six mm-hmm
spk_0
And it's just funny because I'm like well, I'm having pleasant. I'm spent a week with you
spk_0
In Scotland and we talked about this last episode our golf games from the first trip to Ireland
spk_0
If they would have went to Scotland it would have been rounds in the 90s
spk_0
Yeah, or the very high 80s. Yeah, or the very high 80s like that's just the way it would have been
spk_0
and
spk_0
Again, it's not like we were over there
spk_0
you know looking like
spk_0
Tommy Fleetwood at the Ryder Cup
spk_0
But it was just really solid golf
spk_0
and
spk_0
It felt like 83 was the worst possible score you and I could put up
spk_0
Yeah, no matter what conditions we got yeah, and honestly to shoot an 83 we needed three or four holes
spk_0
Where we were like oh?
spk_0
I wouldn't hit that shot on that hole again if we played tomorrow like right. I didn't know that
spk_0
So you're again having spent a week with you you're not a six handicap
spk_0
I mean, I know you're a six handicap, but you're not playing you nothing about you looks like a six
spk_0
Well, thank um, which brings me to my other point about yesterday
spk_0
I mentioned one drive and I said I was gonna come back to the stack
spk_0
So I used to play with these guys all the time especially John and Josh the made-up names
spk_0
um, and I was always
spk_0
We were always around we were very similar length
spk_0
I might have hit it a little a little bit past but there were several holes where I was 50 yards ahead
spk_0
Good night
spk_0
Of them yesterday, which was another thing was just like
spk_0
Okay
spk_0
That's a measure bowl yeah, and it was just another kind of thing like
spk_0
Yeah, the work the work is is pain off and it's just a matter time before
spk_0
The handicap reflects it is yeah is what I'm going to say so
spk_0
um
spk_0
All right
spk_0
That was one question we got was about that handicap
spk_0
We also got a couple of other Scotland questions that I wanted to to touch on in this reentry episode
spk_0
Scotland packing video
spk_0
We got several comments
spk_0
That they expected our roles to be reversed. I noticed that I would have been the organized one and you would have my favorite comment was
spk_0
I thought Eli would just stuff into everything into a garbage bag taped it up and shipped it
spk_0
Yeah, people let's let's have a level. Let's have a real honest talk here. Let's let's level set the mic that you get exposure to
spk_0
He's organized. He's prepped. He's ready. He's thought things through
spk_0
I'm the one that reacts
spk_0
um
spk_0
In real life. I am the one who is OCD um, I am the one that is psycho organized
spk_0
um
spk_0
Maybe you can maybe you could just see but we maybe we could put this up and you can just look at my office
spk_0
Yeah, well, I was I letting story time music
spk_0
I was telling Christina about the comments how I was laughing about how everybody was like
spk_0
I can't believe that Eli's the one that's organized and I was telling her the story about the fet the
spk_0
the FedEx trip to see the rob and
spk_0
I
spk_0
I think we've talked about this before Mike and I the sky that was buddies with Mike
spk_0
lived on his couch some of the time senior year
spk_0
He got married really early, but he had to work a job while he was the senior in college and I think it was FedEx
spk_0
Right, and that what it was FedEx. Yeah, but his shift was the graveyard shift
spk_0
I mean he would work like midnight to whatever six seven eight eight and whatever was
spk_0
Yeah, come ahead and and I had a photo journalism project that I waited until
spk_0
The eleventh hour
spk_0
Literally that day I was like oh shoot have that photo journalism project to do
spk_0
Um, and so it was like oh Rob you're going to work. I'm gonna document it. Oh Rob
spk_0
You your shift doesn't start until midnight in Charlotte. Okay. All right. We'll make it happen
spk_0
And then Eli was like awesome. I'm going
spk_0
I think we well you had to you had to snap him
spk_0
Like walking into work at midnight like that part of what
spk_0
Yeah, well, but I feel like it was later than that
spk_0
Yeah, I think it was like one I think his shift is two and a.m. Yeah, but also
spk_0
What we didn't realize was I was like oh yeah, I'll get him get shots of him working and loves like but there's like a
spk_0
Sqeek. You know, there's security can actually company. We drove we drove all the way out there and I was like
spk_0
Oh, so I can just get you walking in the chain link fence and then
spk_0
Skating your badge and then we have to tell us to telling us to screw off because people were staring at you um
spk_0
Yeah, it was really awkward. Yeah, although it was pitch black and I had no flash
spk_0
It was the worst
spk_0
The point is I got in your old truck and I will never forget this
spk_0
I think we talked about it, but I mean I'm not being sarcastic. This was this was an old what what kind of truck was it
spk_0
Chevy S10. Yes, it was like a you know a two-seater no cab behind it, you know
spk_0
There's a little little cab maybe a little cab but little cab someone someone could sit sideways. Yeah. Yeah, so
spk_0
I got in the truck and I mean no sarcasm
spk_0
I
spk_0
guess is there were 50 20 ounce bottles and empty cans
spk_0
Yep, I mean and I'm not making that up. I don't think that numbers that far off
spk_0
No, that's probably true. I had to literally you know like the
spk_0
For anybody that's familiar with like mr. Gatties, you know the ball pit
spk_0
When I got into the passenger seat it was like getting into the ball pit only the ball pit was a bunch of cans and
spk_0
Recycling I had to like get in and I could like dive into it and then pop out at different places in the truck
spk_0
And Mike didn't know where I was
spk_0
But I mean I spent probably a minute when I when I got in just trying to throw stuff into the little cab space
spk_0
So I would have a place to sit like it was unbelievable
spk_0
Um, and I need to be registered with me. Just no you're just like what are you doing? Get in get in the truck
spk_0
How many play of fishes did you eat that was over several months Ryan?
spk_0
But the point is
spk_0
Like my and by the way you you know my good friend Zach my business partner. Yeah
spk_0
Zach comments all the time about the about my garage
spk_0
He's like your garage. I he's like your garage and my garage are different
spk_0
He said I could eat off of your garage floor and it doesn't look like a garage
spk_0
But I'm I am for the most part very OCD
spk_0
Yes, it comes to a lot of things
spk_0
Yes, quite quite organized person
spk_0
So there you go. Let's see. Let's hit another another two questions
spk_0
Kevin Cauldon we play with him at the man tooth. Yeah, our good friend
spk_0
He says
spk_0
After they read your putt scenario here if a a Ron and Ian disagree on the line
spk_0
Who's line are you going to take with the putt to shoot one under Ian
spk_0
And I don't mean that in any wow in any insulting way to a well first of all a Ron was your caddy
spk_0
Yeah, so a Ron was my guy. Hey, but it's
spk_0
What where are we are we?
spk_0
It depends on what what continent we're on if we're in Scotland. I'm taking I'm taking Ian no questions asked if we're abandoned
spk_0
I'm taking a run 100% you can't you can't go against a a Ron yep
spk_0
But yeah Ian was money kudos to both kudos to both of them and then all right will Terry
spk_0
Yes, a good one here you mentioned
spk_0
The biggest difference for you when having a caddy was
spk_0
You're a hundred percent commitment
spk_0
Over the shots and so will said do you think you can recreate the confidence you get from having a caddy without a caddy
spk_0
no
spk_0
um
spk_0
Just being blunt. It should be the goal though, right? It should be the goal, but I don't think I can
spk_0
But the question is how close can you get? Yeah, and it's probably
spk_0
It's not that I'm it's not that you and I aren't capable of it
spk_0
It's just I think it's a time thing honestly. I don't think the answer is no
spk_0
I think it takes a couple more seconds
spk_0
To dial that in and mentally there's a hurdle there for me
spk_0
To do that if I'm just being honest right
spk_0
But I don't think that answers no I just but I do think that's like I thought it was very interesting
spk_0
You point that out as the biggest difference and I totally agree
spk_0
But it's kind of like well once you make up your mind though
spk_0
Mm-hmm
spk_0
Once we make up our mind no matter who's there that's a part of the mental strength
spk_0
I think that we need right yes like is being a hundred percent it doesn't matter if because it really doesn't matter
spk_0
When you hit the ball right if you're right
spk_0
That's right
spk_0
Like because you're you can only make one swing you can only make one swing yeah, so
spk_0
I don't know I feel like it's a really good point that it's like I mean even even next week
spk_0
Well now we'll have we'll have caddies next week
spk_0
But even when we won't have caddies for the the two-man portion the the bear shark portion
spk_0
And I feel like that's just a really good goal is just like there's a there's a giant difference between being 99%
spk_0
Committed and being 100% committed. Yeah, and putting I think we think about it a lot with putting
spk_0
but
spk_0
Even the like my drives and approach shots
spk_0
I had a specific target which on approach shots I do that a lot more
spk_0
On drives though. I can be very guilty of like it's that space
spk_0
Right there. That's the space I'm going to instead of being like it's that tree
spk_0
Lim on that line driver
spk_0
Like that's right where I'm hitting it and I do the same thing. It's funny. I've had to wonder to playing lessons with Larry
spk_0
And the results are always better because Larry
spk_0
Says this is the yardage. This is the exact line
spk_0
Right, so yeah, I think actually you're right. I mean we can we can create that we just need to be intentional about doing it
spk_0
But it's a really good point because
spk_0
You can say and it's almost the difference like I don't remember if you remember a couple years ago
spk_0
I was playing with Nichols and
spk_0
He was talking about the level of commitment like how committed are you?
spk_0
Yeah, and he said one person he knew said if if you were judged if I was being judged on
spk_0
How committed I was to this line and and and depending on like what dependent on that was someone coming and
spk_0
Shooting my family or something and I was like that's a little morbid
spk_0
Let's change that to like ninjas coming and so I so we always say ninja like I'm gonna
spk_0
I'm gonna commit to this like a ninja is is going to attack me and it's not like the it's not the result
spk_0
Yeah, the result is not dependent on that. It's just how committed you were yeah, and even like I'm thinking about the round yesterday
spk_0
It's you know, I've only played that course three times and it's it's chain they've done a reduce since last time I played it and
spk_0
There was a bunch of shots that I just
spk_0
Wasn't I didn't know yeah, but I also didn't
spk_0
1000% say well based on what I know I'm doing this yeah like completely doing this yeah
spk_0
So well, I think it's a great point. Yeah, and I think I think we're gonna master that next week in the final major and when we win the two man
spk_0
Mm-hmm, but you know I one last comment on that
spk_0
I was thinking about this when I was shot patterning riverbin, but I was thinking about Scotland
spk_0
And again, we played good golf in Scotland. Yeah, but it wasn't like we were just knocking pins down you know every hole
spk_0
But I was thinking about the fact that
spk_0
You know a lot of Scotland I just think we've we have gotten better at just being smarter
spk_0
About the target lines we take about how we approach holes
spk_0
um
spk_0
Try not to hit hero shots like how we get back in holes that you get back in a hole
spk_0
Yeah, like just navigating your way
spk_0
I feel I feel like we've gotten a little bit better at what I would call
spk_0
Old man YMCA ball where it's like
spk_0
We can just kind of navigate our way through
spk_0
Something that should take us down
spk_0
We can just navigate it better and stay in it when we don't have our best stuff
spk_0
Um, so I am I do think there's been ton of growth there. I fully agree. Yep. All right
spk_0
That's it for the reentry episode. I think you like I love it
spk_0
Next week one week less than a one one one our together in six days one yeah, that's right man
spk_0

spk_0
