And what about watching guys on the ground, just the way they go about their business
00:04
mentally and just how they carry themselves as far as their posture? That's something
00:09
that I noticed.
00:10
Yes. Look, what I've noticed is everyone needs to smile more out there, Smiley. It's glaringly
00:15
obvious and I was a victim of it myself, but we need to show more of our teeth out there.
00:23
It's not that bad. Body language is, is oof. It might be at an all time low right now.
00:29
We need, uh, we need some, some shoulders up high. You know, Jake naps body language
00:35
last week after 11. I mean, I get it, but it was, it looks pretty tough. Yeah.
00:40
Yeah. It just kind of just shoulders kind of got a little low on them, didn't it?
00:44
I'll tell you what else I noticed. I've noticed doing this, the player, the player caddy combo
00:53
has, I feel like it's gotten a little too much. Like it's gotten too complicated. You
00:58
think like too much information?
01:01
Sometimes it's just a stock seven from the middle of the fairway. Like we're not trying
01:05
to solve a crime out here. Like we've been doing this, I've been doing this my whole
01:09
life. So this is 174 yards of an iron. I got it. Like we don't need a checklist of things.
01:17
Some, but I guess it's how these guys are now. You know, there's not, there's, there's
01:21
not an end point to man. There's just all these steps that these guys kind of like,
01:25
they're just, they're, we're turning players into robots kind of, right?
01:30
Yes. Everyone has a track man and basically everyone does aim point. What do you think
01:34
on any point? Are you out on that?
01:36
I just, I don't like the, just the mannerisms that guys have with it as far as just getting
01:42
that close to the hole. Like I, it, we used to mean something to respect people's lines
01:48
and their through lines. Like we were always making sure we weren't finishing out. Now
01:51
guys just walk up there right up next to the hole. And I know they're not getting in anybody's
01:56
way technically, but it just creates a lot of, a lot of friction and traction around
02:02
the hole.
02:03
Yeah. I just don't like the way it looks to be honest. I mean, we're already a fringe
02:08
sport. This doesn't really do us any favors.
02:12
Me too. Me too. But I also think that it's important every now and then to be able to
02:18
throw your club and you, you were probably the best at just one good solid one, like
02:23
every other month. Where was your, where was your favorite club throw that you ever had?
02:29
Nobody's ever asked me that. And you're spot on with that. I didn't do it a lot, but if
02:32
I did, I would, I was going to get my money's worth. Yes. Cause the fines are all the same.
02:37
If I'm going to get fine for just uncle Rico and one at my bag, you know, 12 yards away,
02:43
I might as well throw it seven, try and throw it 70 yards. You know, are we thinking like
02:47
Rory McIlroy, like the lake type of thing? Oh, I had my best. I have all of mine beat
02:55
that one. All of them. Okay. All right. How far did it go? And where was it? Uh, I've
03:03
had a couple of really good ones. One year at Torrey, I was chopping and I was playing
03:10
with Keegan and he hit it on 14. I hit a terrible tee shot, just totally bailed out to the right.
03:17
And he's in the fairway and I'm up next. And, uh, I just chopped one out short of the green.
03:24
I don't even know where it went. Didn't matter. I was fuming at this point. And immediately
03:29
after I've hit, this is from the right rough. I just helicoptered one over his head into
03:34
the Canyon. Like if not even, I mean, this thing was 50 yards into the Canyon too. He,
03:41
he, he, he giggled and Scotty Vale. I mean, it was hilarious. Uh, and then I, that was
03:47
it for the right, for the right rough. Oh, into the dude. That is such a far throw. That's
03:54
a long ways. I mean, it's a, that's a good 60 yards, right? Yeah. Yeah. And then there's
04:01
some, you know, you know how you get like, you ever just out in public public and you
04:06
like see us a view of something and you're like, Oh, this would be a cool golf shot or
04:11
something like that. Uh, I had that happen to me one time with Mark Russell. Okay. So
04:19
17 at the old Reno. Do you remember that tee shot? Yes. Nightmare tee shot for you
04:27
and I, by the way, but yes, off the tee, like a hundred percent thin air, a hundred foot
04:32
elevation drop, like a thimble of a fairway crosswind. The good thing is, is it was stable
04:38
for it. So you could only make double at least, you know what I'm saying? So I had this nasty
04:46
tug and I don't know if it's hazard or what it is down there. And so we go down there,
04:51
we don't find it. And Mark's got to drive me back up the Hill. Like I'm already done
04:54
for the day. And we're talking like Mark's a buddy of mine. And we're talking about the
04:58
Orlando magic. Actually, he lives in Orlando and he's buddies with like my childhood idol,
05:03
Scott Skiles. So we're talking about Scott Skiles coming up the Hill. I got this climbing
05:08
this mountain and the group behind us is already on the tee. Oh, even awkward. You just, yeah,
05:15
not, not if you're used to it, it's not that bad. Hey guys, good to see you again. The next one,
05:20
the next one, exactly. The next one just goes a mile to the right. And I get back in the cart
05:25
and we get to like the spot where we're getting ready to like go back down the Hill and the
05:32
elevation drop. I was like, Mark was like, just stop the cart real quick. And he stops it. And
05:37
I get out and just launch this thing like a hundred yards down the Hill. I mean, this thing went
05:43
forever. He just giggled. He, it was, it was so good because they Matthew, what am I going to do
05:49
with you?
