WEBVTT 00:02.480 --> 00:03.301 [SPEAKER_00]: All right, folks. 00:04.822 --> 00:06.744 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, welcome to the other camera's link show. 00:06.784 --> 00:09.326 [SPEAKER_00]: Happy to be here. 00:09.366 --> 00:12.889 [SPEAKER_00]: Happy to be coming at you live from Glasgow. 00:13.650 --> 00:19.515 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm at the Grand Central Hotel right above the central Glasgow Central Station. 00:20.075 --> 00:23.819 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to talk about a couple of things that I kind of more of a diary entry of a podcast. 00:25.860 --> 00:32.406 [SPEAKER_00]: Man, I guess we can talk about obviously the writer cup, which as I'm recording this is not finished yet. 00:32.426 --> 00:39.833 [SPEAKER_00]: We can talk about the golf trip that I'm on and we can talk about 00:43.223 --> 00:45.105 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's probably some other things that come up. 00:45.185 --> 00:50.070 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, we can talk about the football game, the football match we just went to with Stewart. 00:50.190 --> 00:54.915 [SPEAKER_00]: So I was over at the first ball. 00:55.075 --> 00:55.675 [SPEAKER_00]: How is everybody? 00:55.916 --> 00:56.777 [SPEAKER_00]: How are you feeling? 00:56.817 --> 00:59.019 [SPEAKER_00]: Are you the writer cup is over? 01:01.448 --> 01:02.748 [SPEAKER_00]: I have a feeling I know who wins. 01:03.129 --> 01:04.589 [SPEAKER_00]: I think we all kind of know at this point. 01:04.649 --> 01:10.431 [SPEAKER_00]: I think the current standing, if I check my phone, just to date stamp this, it's Saturday night currently. 01:10.551 --> 01:21.335 [SPEAKER_00]: So, which wouldn't, it's Saturday at 9 pm, which means that it's currently Saturday at 3 pm in New York. 01:21.395 --> 01:22.395 [SPEAKER_00]: And currently it is, 01:24.354 --> 01:25.055 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, wow. 01:25.715 --> 01:29.899 [SPEAKER_00]: Three and a half US to eight and a half Europe. 01:31.060 --> 01:36.985 [SPEAKER_00]: And it looks like there are leads in three and a half matches, which is wow. 01:37.606 --> 01:38.386 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, tied. 01:39.447 --> 01:41.649 [SPEAKER_00]: Europe's one of Europe's one of Europe's one up. 01:41.949 --> 01:42.450 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, wow. 01:42.470 --> 01:45.973 [SPEAKER_00]: So three and a half, which would put them at, 01:47.863 --> 02:04.524 [SPEAKER_00]: 11, no 12, or is that 9, and 9, yeah, then they would only need two points on Sunday, which does seem like with 12 matches on Sunday, so it does seem likely that Europe's going to win. 02:07.817 --> 02:13.240 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's, I mean, even if you're winning, you want to be, you want to have it be a little closer than that. 02:13.400 --> 02:18.002 [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, we all love the competition. 02:18.022 --> 02:21.083 [SPEAKER_00]: I am super excited for Match Play golf. 02:21.163 --> 02:33.990 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that, you know, we're super excited for Austin to, I actually didn't even know about Austin resuming the Match Play Championship is going to be back at Barton Creek. 02:34.790 --> 02:35.851 [SPEAKER_00]: which is super exciting. 02:35.911 --> 02:43.034 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's, someone, someone told me that for some reason, it's see that headline. 02:43.154 --> 02:48.777 [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it's, um, it's going back. 02:49.697 --> 02:53.219 [SPEAKER_00]: Wait, it doesn't say that it's coming back when I Google it. 02:53.799 --> 02:58.801 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I feel terrible that I'm Googling things and then reading them. 02:58.861 --> 03:01.843 [SPEAKER_00]: But let's see, um, I'll type in 2026. 03:01.903 --> 03:03.263 [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see what that says. 03:08.655 --> 03:16.358 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's expected to return to Austin in 2026 with a new tournament at the Omni Barton Creek Resort in Spa, that'll be a part of the FedEx fall schedule. 03:17.279 --> 03:26.543 [SPEAKER_00]: It will not feature elite fields like the previous WGC Dell match play, which was in Austin from 2016 to 2023, before being removed from the tour in 2023. 03:26.623 --> 03:36.567 [SPEAKER_00]: So, no official announcement has been made by the tour, but reports from sports business journal and other golf outlets suggest their return to Austin in 2022, which will be 03:39.148 --> 03:47.954 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I think, you know, yeah, the rider cups little little bit one-sided, but, um, you know, I think match play is fun to watch, right? 03:47.974 --> 03:57.181 [SPEAKER_00]: Cause like, it, uh, it's just like, it's like slightly more relatable, I think, um, and I think it's good for people to be playing more match play. 03:57.861 --> 03:59.342 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty much always play match play. 03:59.662 --> 04:04.966 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, cause then you don't need to worry about your score, you know, it's just kind of like, all you need to do is be a slightly better than your partner. 04:06.047 --> 04:06.147 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, 04:07.928 --> 04:12.650 [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, so we were out there, we obviously did the Bethpage video, which was super fun. 04:12.930 --> 04:13.910 [SPEAKER_00]: Feeling I'm playing pretty good. 04:14.110 --> 04:27.336 [SPEAKER_00]: I actually got fit for new clubs, which haven't arrived yet, but I changed my swing speed because I was on this golf trip where I couldn't swing anymore. 04:27.376 --> 04:28.537 [SPEAKER_00]: My swing was totally broken. 04:29.317 --> 04:56.024 [SPEAKER_00]: And I like had, I played like 14 holes and I made, I doubled every hole on the 6th or 7th day and this was that, you know, that we saved the best for last, this was in California about a month ago and I actually, we were at Monterey Peninsula, which is a stunning golf course and yeah, I was just, I was, I was not able to really play the game and then on the 15th hole. 04:58.025 --> 05:15.735 [SPEAKER_00]: I was kind of desperate, you know, you know when you just get totally desperate on the golf course and you're like, I'll do anything just to not need to spend five minutes looking for my ball and so I just slowed my swing down to like, you know, what felt like 50% and you know, hit the fairway and I was like, oh my god. 05:16.715 --> 05:21.520 [SPEAKER_00]: And then it was a par five so then I just hit like a really easy hybrid. 05:21.560 --> 05:22.982 [SPEAKER_00]: I was just going to swing a slow as I can. 05:24.323 --> 05:33.292 [SPEAKER_00]: And then I was still on the fairway and then I had like 80 yards in so I hit like a 110 club and just swung it like ever so lightly. 05:33.932 --> 05:36.115 [SPEAKER_00]: Put it to eight feet and made the pot and I was like that was a birdie. 05:37.236 --> 05:48.605 [SPEAKER_00]: And so it's been that was like in middle of August and so ever since then I've really like slowed my swing down and in Beth Pate I was kind of doing the same thing which helped you know. 05:48.725 --> 05:57.292 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's that's my new swing thought is is do not hit it as far as I can really just hit it as slow as I can. 05:58.513 --> 06:01.814 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so if you're looking for a swing tip for the fall, um, you know, that could be, that could work. 06:01.834 --> 06:02.074 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know. 06:02.094 --> 06:04.455 [SPEAKER_00]: I think sometimes when I watch, um, you know, I don't know, for example, Bryce and hit the ball. 06:04.475 --> 06:13.458 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I just, I kind of, um, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, 06:13.778 --> 06:19.344 [SPEAKER_00]: can't do that, you know, and I ended up sort of making the game way harder. 06:19.484 --> 06:20.565 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's a good new thing. 06:20.605 --> 06:29.874 [SPEAKER_00]: And so I actually was after that, I had a really funny story because I then went to Atlanta for the Torchampion Championship and my brother lives in Atlanta. 06:29.894 --> 06:33.217 [SPEAKER_00]: So we were getting together to play some golf, but my clubs didn't arrive. 06:33.818 --> 06:35.099 [SPEAKER_00]: They got lost on the flight. 06:36.440 --> 06:50.125 [SPEAKER_00]: And so I get to the course, and my brothers, one of, he, my brother works for UPS, and one of the law firms that he works with was hosting an event at Peachtree, which is obviously a very special golf course. 06:50.545 --> 06:58.268 [SPEAKER_00]: Supposedly, it was Bobby Jones saying, you know, after making Augusta with Alistair McKenzie, he was like, yeah, I'm going to make another golf course. 06:58.288 --> 07:02.730 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to make it better than Augusta, which, you know, I mean, Peachtree's good. 07:03.590 --> 07:22.227 [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't have the same, you know, like it's not in the zeitgeist the way it gust is, it's not as exclusive or anything, you know, it's definitely like still very good though, but still very special, of course, and it's Robert Trent Jones and Robert Tire Jones, two RTJs, which I think is kind of cool. 07:24.148 --> 07:25.009 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's right in Atlanta. 07:25.409 --> 07:26.749 [SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, we're going there. 07:26.769 --> 07:32.991 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't have my clubs and, you know, I get there and, you know, I know the, the pro there and I was like, hey. 07:34.152 --> 07:38.573 [SPEAKER_00]: Collier, if you happen to have some clubs like a bar, that'd be great because I don't have any. 07:39.634 --> 07:41.374 [SPEAKER_00]: Because they're still at the airport. 07:41.474 --> 07:43.255 [SPEAKER_00]: And so he, he's like, yes, sure, of course. 07:43.655 --> 07:47.997 [SPEAKER_00]: So he gives me this bag of clubs and I look at him and it's kind of like, you know. 07:50.126 --> 08:05.360 [SPEAKER_00]: super light shafts regular flex a ten and a half degree driver with a regular fact flex shaft and I was like okay you know I'm not like a rental sky you know but I was kind of open-minded didn't really think anything of it. 08:06.360 --> 08:09.161 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, because I hadn't like a facially made a swing change. 08:09.201 --> 08:14.864 [SPEAKER_00]: This was one, this was my first round after the round where I kind of slowed it down at Monari Peninsula. 08:14.904 --> 08:21.747 [SPEAKER_00]: I kind of went, I finished that round, going birdie par, birdie par, and I was like, whoa, this is this new slow swing is awesome. 08:21.807 --> 08:25.348 [SPEAKER_00]: So here I am a week later, I don't have my clubs. 08:25.408 --> 08:34.652 [SPEAKER_00]: I just have these other clubs that ostensibly, if I had, if I could think better, when I got the clubs would realize, oh, wow, this is better for the slow swing speed. 08:36.373 --> 08:40.417 [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, like normal I don't hit the range, I just hit some pots and then we go play. 08:41.358 --> 08:49.547 [SPEAKER_00]: And I ended up making a 10 bars in a row with these rental clubs, with these loner clubs. 08:50.527 --> 08:53.910 [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, I was kind of feeling them, you know what I mean? 08:53.950 --> 08:57.313 [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh great, they're like, I was kind of like swing and slow. 08:57.393 --> 09:01.556 [SPEAKER_00]: If I had a 160 shot, maybe instead of hitting an eight iron, I'd hit a seven iron. 09:01.616 --> 09:02.817 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, and I was just swing slower. 09:02.877 --> 09:04.759 [SPEAKER_00]: And I was hitting more greens, I was getting up and down. 09:05.680 --> 09:07.181 [SPEAKER_00]: And then my clubs arrived. 09:07.441 --> 09:13.266 [SPEAKER_00]: And at this point now, I'm like grooved into this, you know, lighter, more flexible set of golf clubs. 09:13.826 --> 09:15.307 [SPEAKER_00]: As soon as my clubs arrived, I would make a bogey. 09:16.428 --> 09:28.634 [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, oh man, I still in a, I broke 80, and I played great, but then the next day, I went to see in town golf club. 09:28.654 --> 09:33.556 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you guys have heard of this, but it's in Columbus, it's in Charlotte, and it's in Atlanta, and they're expanding. 09:34.117 --> 09:38.679 [SPEAKER_00]: But it's basically an indoor golf club, and it really is a golf club. 09:38.719 --> 09:40.880 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not really like a simulator, right? 09:40.940 --> 09:44.982 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not like five iron or X golf or anything like that. 09:45.802 --> 10:09.601 [SPEAKER_00]: It's really like a private hotel where they have simulators, they have a restaurant, they have a bar, it's really well decorated, it's really curated, they have events and I have some friends that work there, so I went over there to say hi and you know, like catch up because we were in town and you know, I noticed that they have a fitting bay, you know, with like a bunch of clubs and chefs and stuff like that, I was like, 10:10.822 --> 10:25.805 [SPEAKER_00]: Talk to the guy who's giving the fittings and I was like, hey, if you're around, I might be in the market for like a different setup on my ping irons and wedges and you know my setup, you know, and he's like, well, yeah, come by, you know, so So when back, I got fitted for these new clubs. 10:26.905 --> 10:35.167 [SPEAKER_00]: I went with I-2-40s I stole the 440 drivers to love the 440 wood and hybrid and the S59 wedges, but 10:38.851 --> 10:51.041 [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, I went with carbon fiber, or I went with steel fiber shafts in the iron and ultimately lighter and more flexible. 10:51.061 --> 10:52.562 [SPEAKER_00]: So, those haven't arrived yet. 10:52.922 --> 10:58.787 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a long way of saying that I'm on this new swing plane, new swing path, but the new clubs haven't arrived. 10:58.847 --> 10:59.368 [SPEAKER_00]: So, I've gone 11:00.168 --> 11:11.433 [SPEAKER_00]: full on into the old man setup, if you will, and you know, but I don't have to me, and I won't have them until we get back from Scotland. 11:11.513 --> 11:21.798 [SPEAKER_00]: So, that's a long way of saying that the break-notty at Bath Page was a lot of fun, and I felt like I'm going to play even better once I get this new setup. 11:27.520 --> 11:52.497 [SPEAKER_00]: the the founder of Golf Tech the other day, we were we were hanging out at Beth Page for the Ryder Cup and because I just flew over the other day, just gone in here at the guest today and we were we were talking about you know golf tech and you know how basically golf tech is the largest employer in the world of teaching pros and golf. 11:53.037 --> 12:01.887 [SPEAKER_00]: And so, he's talking about their recruiting process and how much attention and care they put into the pros at golf tech. 12:01.907 --> 12:11.077 [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, you know, maybe I should start taking lessons with these new clubs at golf tech, because, you know, we ended up the break 90th path page. 12:12.278 --> 12:15.579 [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I feel like 79 is in play here. 12:16.240 --> 12:20.481 [SPEAKER_00]: So, anyway, obviously these are all statements from the end of the season. 12:20.521 --> 12:26.563 [SPEAKER_00]: If you also, we'll see what happens when we get back in March and start playing more golf with the new setup. 12:26.603 --> 12:38.168 [SPEAKER_00]: But that's the current swing thought is swing slow, keep it in play, and attack the greens from a little further back. 12:38.987 --> 12:43.814 [SPEAKER_00]: Alright folks, we want to take a second to talk about one of our favorite

14:04.554 --> 14:04.994 [SPEAKER_00]: All right, folks. 14:05.014 --> 14:05.554 [SPEAKER_00]: You got pants? 14:06.055 --> 14:06.655 [SPEAKER_00]: You wear pants? 14:07.215 --> 14:07.715 [SPEAKER_00]: I wear pants. 14:07.836 --> 14:10.217 [SPEAKER_00]: I wear pants more often than I wear shorts, and that's a fact. 14:10.897 --> 14:18.704 [SPEAKER_00]: One of the reasons why I'm going to start wearing more pants, not more pants at the same time, but pants more often is because Marie Lairs sent me the new Flex Terry pant. 14:19.205 --> 14:25.030 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I need to have a quick talk with you about the Flex Terry pant because I think if you had the choice, you would wear sweatpants. 14:25.897 --> 14:28.718 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just going to, if you're like me, you would probably wear sweatpants all the time. 14:28.778 --> 14:32.539 [SPEAKER_00]: The thing is, the Flex Terry pant feels like a sweatpants, but it's actually a five pocket. 14:32.859 --> 14:39.642 [SPEAKER_00]: And when you're wearing a five pocket, you get to feel kind of like a bad ass, you know, because then you got the pocket for the ball marker, you got the, I put the ball in the fifth pocket. 14:40.022 --> 14:41.402 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you do that or if it's just me. 14:41.442 --> 14:45.644 [SPEAKER_00]: But ultimately, the marine layer of Flex Terry pant is stretchy, stretchy around the waist. 14:46.144 --> 14:54.187 [SPEAKER_00]: You get the waist size, you get the length, all the sudden you're looking like a G, you can wear them to sleep, you can wear them to the golf course, you can wear them to dinner, you can wear them into shower. 14:55.027 --> 14:56.849 [SPEAKER_00]: But ultimately, you need to wear them. 14:56.869 --> 14:57.730 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the most important thing. 14:57.750 --> 15:01.373 [SPEAKER_00]: 15% off if you go to marinelayer.com and use the code random. 15:02.173 --> 15:05.796 [SPEAKER_00]: That's marinelayer.com, use the code random, please.

16:47.353 --> 16:49.995 [SPEAKER_00]: We played Castle Rock. 16:51.015 --> 16:55.876 [SPEAKER_00]: And we played Port Stewart, did I say Port Stewart twice? 16:57.677 --> 17:00.157 [SPEAKER_00]: So that was 24 guys. 17:00.177 --> 17:01.038 [SPEAKER_00]: We had a great trip. 17:01.118 --> 17:03.518 [SPEAKER_00]: We were like, you know, breakfast and dinner together. 17:03.578 --> 17:04.699 [SPEAKER_00]: There's competitions. 17:05.599 --> 17:07.439 [SPEAKER_00]: Our partners show up and do giveaways. 17:07.499 --> 17:09.400 [SPEAKER_00]: Paying us really strong in the giveaways section. 17:09.440 --> 17:09.720 [SPEAKER_00]: We do. 17:09.760 --> 17:11.921 [SPEAKER_00]: There's like a stableford format. 17:13.301 --> 17:16.202 [SPEAKER_00]: And now we're having our second one of the air, which is in Scotland. 17:16.242 --> 17:17.202 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's all in airshires. 17:18.022 --> 17:20.023 [SPEAKER_00]: everybody kind of comes in through Glasgow. 17:20.563 --> 17:23.983 [SPEAKER_00]: We all hang out tonight at the simulator today was like the arrivals day. 17:25.284 --> 17:26.644 [SPEAKER_00]: And then tomorrow we could start it. 17:26.684 --> 17:29.745 [SPEAKER_00]: We do King Robert the Bruce Monday. 17:29.785 --> 17:32.145 [SPEAKER_00]: We do Turnberry Elsa. 17:32.325 --> 17:33.706 [SPEAKER_00]: We do Turnberry King Robert the Bruce. 17:33.726 --> 17:35.606 [SPEAKER_00]: Turnberry Elsa twice on Monday. 17:36.266 --> 17:38.867 [SPEAKER_00]: Then we do Dundonald and Kilmernick Barassie. 17:38.907 --> 17:40.367 [SPEAKER_00]: Then we're going to Shiskin. 17:41.007 --> 17:42.048 [SPEAKER_00]: Then we're going to Western Gale. 17:42.108 --> 17:44.888 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's like a full week long golf trip. 17:44.928 --> 17:45.468 [SPEAKER_00]: And you know my 17:48.469 --> 18:08.942 [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people that would love to go on a golf trip, but either don't have a crew that is flexible enough can go, you know, and so it's like, or they're not going to plan it to go on their own, so it's kind of like, the idea with the random golf, the majors is like, hey, you show up, we'll do the planning and we'll bring the crew and it's sort of this like 24 person trip, and the coolest thing is that, 18:09.522 --> 18:19.569 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, we have these WhatsApp channels for the one we did in Ireland and it's like you know fully, you know, like still active even though that was like in May. 18:20.349 --> 18:23.451 [SPEAKER_00]: So, so yeah, we're going to get started tomorrow. 18:23.471 --> 18:24.152 [SPEAKER_00]: We're super excited. 18:24.172 --> 18:28.855 [SPEAKER_00]: We have the little orientation tonight at the golf bar, which is like a simulator spot here in Glasgow. 18:30.156 --> 18:41.185 [SPEAKER_00]: And actually Nick, who had, he came to Ireland and got a hole in one on the second of last day, came for this one, so that's, that's going to be super cool to see him. 18:41.225 --> 18:45.028 [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, it's just kind of one of these things where it's like, it's just the golf trip. 18:45.068 --> 18:46.389 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's, that's what we're doing. 18:46.409 --> 18:47.970 [SPEAKER_00]: And the next year we're going to do four trips. 18:47.990 --> 18:54.315 [SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to do New Zealand, Iceland, Morocco, Liverpool. 18:55.216 --> 18:59.340 [SPEAKER_00]: And probably, maybe we'll do five and we'll come back to Scotland or Ireland again next year. 18:59.900 --> 19:10.230 [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, like, if that sounds interesting, you definitely sign up for the email list at randomgolfclub.com or sign up for the SMS, that's kind of the best way to find out about these things quick. 19:10.250 --> 19:12.992 [SPEAKER_00]: They do sell out quick. 19:13.172 --> 19:17.276 [SPEAKER_00]: There was like, the first one we did, there were 600 people on the wait list. 19:17.336 --> 19:19.558 [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, we'd love to have you out. 19:19.598 --> 19:21.439 [SPEAKER_00]: These are, for me, these are the, 19:22.481 --> 19:38.642 [SPEAKER_00]: These are the things that random golf club does that are like make me the most kind of like inspired You know, it's really that idea of making the making golf a club for everyone so you kind of like You know, you know get to experience the golf club that it's fullest 19:39.142 --> 19:52.791 [SPEAKER_00]: And the whole crew is always, it's like super diverse, you know, it's like people from all over the world showing up and, you know, you kind of get the luxury of time together and there's enough rounds where you more or less get to play with everybody. 19:52.811 --> 19:56.334 [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it's so fun. 19:56.394 --> 20:00.977 [SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, that's, that's happening this week, which is so exciting. 20:01.117 --> 20:04.279 [SPEAKER_00]: I can't, I can't wait to play a couple rounds of golf out here. 20:05.060 --> 20:09.245 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, looks like it might even be nice weather, so that's, that's even a huge bonus. 20:10.326 --> 20:19.918 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and then, but tonight, I think the coolest thing was that we had, uh, for me, uh, one of the things that was really on my bucket list tonight, and it didn't have anything to do with golf. 20:20.478 --> 20:39.385 [SPEAKER_00]: So, Stewart's in town, Stewart Kerr, my friend, we went to God and we did a lot together, but filmed several years of adventures of golf, and then was also in the New Zealand episodes we did, and then the Scaland Diaries, you know, the Scaland unofficial guide. 20:41.110 --> 20:47.453 [SPEAKER_00]: And so he's in town because the Dunhill Lynx championship is this week in San Andrew. 20:47.493 --> 20:51.955 [SPEAKER_00]: So he comes up from Australia to photograph those and stuff. 20:51.995 --> 20:55.277 [SPEAKER_00]: So he's in town, you know, grew up just outside Glasgow. 20:55.317 --> 20:57.198 [SPEAKER_00]: So we spent the day together. 20:57.218 --> 20:58.998 [SPEAKER_00]: We had dinner last night, hung out. 20:59.018 --> 21:00.139 [SPEAKER_00]: We spent the day together today. 21:00.179 --> 21:05.982 [SPEAKER_00]: And then went to his favorite football teams match tonight. 21:06.342 --> 21:07.703 [SPEAKER_00]: And it was super fun. 21:08.943 --> 21:20.026 [SPEAKER_00]: Probably like 30 minutes outside Glasgow and town called mother-well because that's the name of the team And I don't know if you if you know a lot about Scottish premiership Socker league. 21:20.066 --> 21:26.188 [SPEAKER_00]: This is redundant to you, but I didn't know much about it and it was like 21:27.308 --> 21:34.913 [SPEAKER_00]: It was really interesting because like, you know, we have, you know, the American soccer league or whatever. 21:35.873 --> 21:38.895 [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, I've gone to a couple Austin football club games. 21:40.216 --> 21:42.377 [SPEAKER_00]: And there's about 17,000 seats there. 21:42.878 --> 21:43.618 [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a little more. 21:43.718 --> 21:45.359 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's the same with mother well. 21:45.399 --> 21:46.160 [SPEAKER_00]: There's like 15,000 seats. 21:48.501 --> 22:05.222 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but what's interesting is, you know, at the Austin games, you know, there's like, there's like the Lexus lounge where you go and like there's free food and then there's like, you know, there's like all this entertainment before here and there's all these corporate sponsors and there's all these screens, you know, and the audio visual is really good. 22:05.842 --> 22:20.630 [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, here are mother well, it's kind of like, uh, there's no video screen and the speakers are like old and there's no lounge, it's just like meat pies, you know, and, uh, you know, Snickers and Twixis and, um, 22:21.550 --> 22:34.507 [SPEAKER_00]: But the fans are like really, really engaged, you know, where I was like, I think a lot of times, you know, you go sporting events, you know, and they're not as community driven, you know, I mean, like, so that was like the biggest major takeaway for me. 22:34.527 --> 22:36.410 [SPEAKER_00]: It was kind of this like real, 22:38.392 --> 22:50.846 [SPEAKER_00]: real like this was a neighborhood supporting the team and it was super cool so it's a 90 minute game to 45 minute halves and there wasn't a goal until like the 93rd minute. 22:52.067 --> 22:57.533 [SPEAKER_00]: It was like I have all these videos of Stewart just like immediately going into singing all the chance and stuff and 22:58.334 --> 23:03.719 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, I think honestly, it's not that different from even golf here in Scotland, where it's much more of a neighborhood game. 23:03.739 --> 23:08.984 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, when I got off the flight, uh, yesterday when I landed in Edinburgh, I got off the flight. 23:09.004 --> 23:21.837 [SPEAKER_00]: And I was kind of dilly downing, and I went just kind of like, found my way to the nearest golf course, uh, from the airport called, um, okay, what was it called, what was it called, what was it called, what was it called, let me look at it. 23:22.858 --> 23:37.613 [SPEAKER_00]: Rathopark off-club and actually they have their icon, their logo is a golf ball with wings which looks a lot like the Baltis RAW logo, but I'm pretty sure it predates Baltis RAW by a couple of years. 23:38.613 --> 23:49.099 [SPEAKER_00]: It's just a little Parkland course, you know, with like a 1800-2018-20 castle that's like the epicenter of it all. 23:49.139 --> 23:49.859 [SPEAKER_00]: It's so beautiful. 23:50.780 --> 24:02.686 [SPEAKER_00]: There's this little road that, you know, like, traverses through the holes, you know, and I'm like driving my car, I'm like trying not to get in any one's way and everyone's like waving me through. 24:03.106 --> 24:03.987 [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone's super nice. 24:05.087 --> 24:12.691 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and yeah, it was like, it was just, again, such an example of like, the whole culture here is just so welcoming. 24:12.731 --> 24:14.432 [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, that's my pitch. 24:14.632 --> 24:22.196 [SPEAKER_00]: If you haven't been to Scotland or the UK, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, um, you know, it's like a mandatory, right? 24:22.236 --> 24:29.780 [SPEAKER_00]: You got to, you got to see the turf, you got to play the turf, you got to meet the people, you got to like, you know, experience the whole thing, the weather, the links, 24:31.201 --> 24:37.069 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's just, that's just kind of what, for me that was like one golf really made sense was just kind of like being here. 24:40.333 --> 24:47.301 [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, and yeah, I guess, I guess, you know, between that, the Ryder Cup, the club fitting, the golf trip. 24:48.162 --> 24:51.763 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's pretty much the update I have guys, but there's going to be a lot more coming. 24:53.423 --> 25:03.526 [SPEAKER_00]: There's, I don't want to say too much about it, but, you know, I guess the real asker would be sign up for the email, a sign up for the, sign up for the text because we've got some new things coming. 25:03.546 --> 25:09.767 [SPEAKER_00]: We've got a lot of, oh gosh, we have so many, we have, we did five classics this year. 25:09.807 --> 25:13.068 [SPEAKER_00]: We did tobacco road, Chambers Bay, Pocity, Mpo, Fox Chapel. 25:14.929 --> 25:17.671 [SPEAKER_00]: And next, you're going to do 20. 25:19.132 --> 25:22.355 [SPEAKER_00]: So, I don't even, I can actually, let me see what I can pull this up. 25:23.015 --> 25:35.485 [SPEAKER_00]: So, the classics are the full day events that we do that are, you know, really focused on, you know, full day experience, April, we've got Cabot Citrus, April, we also have Tobacco Road. 25:36.325 --> 25:53.333 [SPEAKER_00]: In May we're doing Sunningdale Heath in the UK, we're also doing Sweden's cove, also in May we're doing Plainfield in New Jersey, rolling greens at the end of May, sometime in May, Tamarack in Connecticut, then in June we're going to the loop. 25:53.994 --> 25:54.614 [SPEAKER_00]: That'll be so great.
