WEBVTT
00:00:21.553 --> 00:00:22.675
what is up everybody?
00:00:22.675 --> 00:00:27.158
Welcome to another episode of the Chasing Daylight Podcast.
00:00:27.158 --> 00:00:32.069
Clearly there's some shit going on with Instagram.
00:00:32.069 --> 00:00:37.990
It's not liking us, so I apologize for those wanting to watch Instagram tonight Again.
00:00:39.402 --> 00:00:39.683
Yeah.
00:00:40.567 --> 00:00:46.171
I don't know what's going on, but Joe's here tonight so he can fill in while I tinker once we get to that.
00:00:46.171 --> 00:00:50.572
But I do want to say a quick thank you to Shannon from 13 Brewing.
00:00:50.572 --> 00:01:00.371
Last week he left a message and Joe wasn't here to help me fill dead air because I was trying to figure out Instagram and I forgot to get his message.
00:01:00.979 --> 00:01:07.402
And then I also found out I didn't have repeat the live chat on the replays, so I couldn't get his message again.
00:01:07.402 --> 00:01:20.263
So, shannon, if by any chance you're watching, please, you know, hop on and let us know what that question was because, uh, I I didn't want you to think that we forgot about you, so how are you guys doing tonight?
00:01:20.263 --> 00:01:28.224
Good everybody all geeked up for a brutal US Open that's forthcoming.
00:01:28.906 --> 00:01:30.951
Can't wait so stoked.
00:01:33.082 --> 00:01:37.525
So Jeremy said before we hopped on that he was watching the Grand Horvart.
00:01:39.194 --> 00:01:39.698
Horvart.
00:01:40.203 --> 00:01:40.564
Horvart.
00:01:42.515 --> 00:01:42.879
Horvart.
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.549
I like Horfart better.
00:01:45.549 --> 00:01:51.828
I was watching that video of them out there and said that you know they're just getting destroyed.
00:01:52.242 --> 00:01:53.626
No, they got battered yeah.
00:01:55.846 --> 00:01:56.287
Oh my God.
00:01:56.287 --> 00:01:58.769
And this afternoon I watched Bryson.
00:01:58.769 --> 00:02:02.209
Yeah, mike's got it right right here Beautiful golf course.
00:02:02.209 --> 00:02:03.480
Instagram sucks, yes.
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:24.848
So watched Bryson's video where he recorded every swing and, yeah, the course was wet and soft that day, so you know a lot of his shots into the green from the rough stayed on the green and, yeah, I don't think it's going to be that easy.
00:02:24.848 --> 00:02:27.353
Come, come, uh, a couple days from now.
00:02:27.473 --> 00:02:28.080
So are you?
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:34.121
Are you talking about the like, the, the influencer day that they played like, probably last week?
00:02:34.421 --> 00:02:38.530
because I watched no no no, no, this was just him.
00:02:38.530 --> 00:02:44.929
He was just out there with his caddy, uh, and an oakmont caddy, and his film crew and it was just him.
00:02:44.929 --> 00:02:49.925
And he played the whole course, started on the back nine and, uh, he shot.
00:02:49.925 --> 00:02:54.052
Even he had a putt for birdie on 18.
00:02:54.112 --> 00:03:00.407
I watched the uh, I watched the whole saint andre and uh sunny episode.
00:03:00.407 --> 00:03:02.971
Uh group group chat golf memes.
00:03:02.971 --> 00:03:10.387
I watched that whole episode randomly and uh yeah, it's sunny is a, is a, a.
00:03:10.387 --> 00:03:12.713
One handicap plus one, I can't remember.
00:03:12.713 --> 00:03:13.856
But yeah, he got.
00:03:13.856 --> 00:03:14.800
He got eight and alive.
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.862
I'm so stoked, I love it.
00:03:16.862 --> 00:03:20.147
Let the brutalness commence.
00:03:20.147 --> 00:03:24.215
Yeah, hey, and it's fair too.
00:03:24.215 --> 00:03:26.707
You just gotta hit the, you gotta hit the fairway, you gotta hit the green.
00:03:27.425 --> 00:03:34.084
It's all there is to it easy so yeah, those greens they look crazy man like you.
00:03:34.084 --> 00:03:37.987
They look flat, but the ball just trickles.
00:03:37.987 --> 00:03:42.646
It's like continuous trickles all the way to the sides, to the front, to the back.
00:03:43.883 --> 00:03:45.325
Yeah, yeah, it's nuts.
00:03:46.870 --> 00:03:48.781
I love it losing balls in the rough.
00:03:48.781 --> 00:03:51.806
I mean you barely hit it off the rough.
00:03:51.806 --> 00:03:57.808
I mean there's like a definitive line where the fairway is and then, other than that, you're buried.
00:03:57.808 --> 00:04:00.116
Miss the green I send you.
00:04:00.818 --> 00:04:13.348
I think I might only send it to matt, but I probably sent it to the chat where Jeff Marsh pulled a, a SWAT ball true, vis SWAT ball out of the rough, Like that shouldn't be there.
00:04:13.348 --> 00:04:15.205
But it's there because it's.
00:04:15.205 --> 00:04:16.583
It's grown up crazy.
00:04:18.067 --> 00:04:18.307
Yeah.
00:04:18.870 --> 00:04:19.552
Yeah, I love it.
00:04:19.552 --> 00:04:27.925
It looks like it's the weather's supposed to be nice Thursday and then it's rain the rest of the time, so it's going to be swampy in that rough.
00:04:29.447 --> 00:04:30.449
Yeah, Oakmont's sick.
00:04:32.452 --> 00:04:33.014
Stuck for it.
00:04:33.014 --> 00:04:36.149
The course is incredible.
00:04:36.149 --> 00:04:37.403
It's absolutely incredible.
00:04:37.403 --> 00:04:40.043
It's an amazing design Bryson was talking about.
00:04:40.043 --> 00:04:42.680
This is the only design the guy had.
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.103
It was his only golf course he designed.
00:04:45.103 --> 00:04:47.028
It's hard.
00:04:47.028 --> 00:04:49.521
It's narrow the bunkers.
00:04:49.521 --> 00:04:51.127
They've added some depth to the bunkers.
00:04:51.127 --> 00:04:53.406
They did get rid of a lot of the trees.
00:04:53.406 --> 00:04:55.204
That doesn't bother me.
00:04:55.204 --> 00:04:56.987
It bothered a lot of the traditionalists.
00:04:56.987 --> 00:05:05.870
But I like it being open like that and you know it's going to be a challenge.
00:05:05.870 --> 00:05:06.552
It's gonna be.
00:05:06.552 --> 00:05:07.273
We say this every year.
00:05:07.273 --> 00:05:11.793
I mean, dustin Johnson won four under last time and it wasn't this thick.
00:05:11.793 --> 00:05:24.745
I think the USGA is at a point where they're like, no, we're not doing it anymore, we're not doing 21 under and you know, let's, let's, let's seriously challenge these guys.
00:05:25.927 --> 00:05:26.307
I love it.
00:05:26.307 --> 00:05:29.661
It but dj is not in it, I can guarantee you that.
00:05:29.661 --> 00:05:32.567
But um I love it.
00:05:33.127 --> 00:05:36.574
Yeah, yeah, definitely not going to be a repeat for him.
00:05:36.574 --> 00:05:47.408
I he's not the same golfer he was back then, um, so yeah, uh, so I I highly encourage anybody if you haven't watched the Bryson thing, go watch it.
00:05:47.408 --> 00:06:04.576
I'm going to watch Grant's video later on tonight and we'll see it's that show on YouTube there's a lot of YouTube shows, yeah how things work.
00:06:04.637 --> 00:06:05.345
Grant how things work.
00:06:05.345 --> 00:06:06.033
How things work.
00:06:06.053 --> 00:06:15.843
Grant how things work, how things uh see will anybody purposely step on a ball like phil did that one tournament purposely?
00:06:15.983 --> 00:06:17.906
did he stop the ball when it was rolling?
00:06:18.668 --> 00:06:19.891
oh that one yeah that?
00:06:19.891 --> 00:06:23.966
Where was that at that was at, oh I have a video of that.
00:06:23.985 --> 00:06:25.269
On my idea, was it um?
00:06:25.269 --> 00:06:30.209
Was that a shinnecock, shinnecock, yeah yeah, yeah, I don't know.
00:06:30.348 --> 00:06:34.305
I mean, with it being wet they're they'll.
00:06:34.305 --> 00:06:42.065
They do drain, but I don't think they're going to be crusted out fast like shinnecock was like the word.
00:06:42.065 --> 00:06:43.608
They were watering in between groups.
00:06:43.949 --> 00:06:48.204
Yeah, what's the forecast?
00:06:48.223 --> 00:06:48.644
looking like.
00:06:48.644 --> 00:06:49.769
Has anybody seen it?
00:06:50.723 --> 00:06:56.088
Yep Tomorrow or Thursday is nice Thursday is going to be warm 80s, and then after that it's rain.
00:06:56.088 --> 00:06:59.389
Still warm, yeah.
00:07:01.581 --> 00:07:10.788
I don't think it's going to get crusty, but that rough will be juicy and they'll probably still keep the greens at a close to 15 yeah, that's crazy.
00:07:12.009 --> 00:07:26.595
I mean, yeah, we, julian and I, played at dragon ridge a couple weeks ago and we said the greens are probably rolling at 14 and that's not as undulated, as as oakmont is God, I mean, and there's some we had.
00:07:26.595 --> 00:07:33.862
I had one putt rise above the hole and it was downhill and I mean I just touched it with my putter face, just like touched it, and it went 10 feet past.
00:07:33.862 --> 00:07:36.690
So I mean they get any situation like that.
00:07:36.690 --> 00:07:40.701
Oh, man you're going to is is trail hat in the field Cause.
00:07:41.242 --> 00:07:42.826
I wanted that one mic'd up.
00:07:42.826 --> 00:07:44.812
I want him mic'd up 24, seven.
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.805
Cause you the field because I wanted that one mic'd up.
00:07:48.824 --> 00:07:54.177
I want him mic'd up 24 7 because you know he's gonna say did you guys see that spot about the stint meter on uh live?
00:07:54.197 --> 00:07:54.478
from oakmont.
00:07:54.499 --> 00:07:59.408
It was created because of oakmont right well, the guy, the guy is from oakmont.
00:07:59.408 --> 00:08:03.821
Yeah, there's like um rod perry or whatever what they.
00:08:03.821 --> 00:08:04.963
They measured the greens.
00:08:04.963 --> 00:08:07.745
He would drop a ball on the back of number two or whatever.
00:08:07.745 --> 00:08:12.331
And if it didn't roll off the front of the green it wasn't fast enough.
00:08:12.331 --> 00:08:23.348
And that was really interesting in how the stimp meter was created and it took like the USGA 35 years to adopt the stimp meter.
00:08:23.348 --> 00:08:29.021
That was really interesting to me yeah, if you guys didn't see it.
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:30.125
I think you should watch it.
00:08:30.125 --> 00:08:31.161
Yeah, I'll check it out.
00:08:31.182 --> 00:08:43.243
Yeah, I didn't see it at all there's a there's always some good stories on the live app that's why yeah, that's why live at the US Open, live at the Masters.
00:08:43.845 --> 00:08:44.961
They do such a good job.
00:08:44.961 --> 00:08:46.245
I love, I love watching that.
00:08:47.429 --> 00:08:49.706
Yeah, I'm a big fan of the.
00:08:49.706 --> 00:08:57.985
They did a little thing about the lockers and how every locker's got a little hidden liquor compartment.
00:08:59.129 --> 00:08:59.610
Seriously.
00:09:00.581 --> 00:09:03.726
Yeah, so everybody can hide their stash from the Prohibition days.
00:09:03.726 --> 00:09:09.049
As I said every time, they build new lockers and add new lockers.
00:09:09.049 --> 00:09:16.030
They try to build them to make them look original and each locker, still to this day, has that little lockbox.
00:09:17.863 --> 00:09:18.183
That's sick.
00:09:18.183 --> 00:09:18.666
I love that.
00:09:18.666 --> 00:09:20.847
I mean, golf is like a tradition, right?
00:09:20.847 --> 00:09:26.841
And that's so cool that it keeps getting passed down and all the stories are the best.
00:09:26.841 --> 00:09:29.063
I love it.
00:09:29.063 --> 00:09:32.528
What are you doing, matt?
00:09:32.548 --> 00:09:33.129
what are you?
00:09:33.350 --> 00:09:34.211
I'm trying to get.
00:09:34.272 --> 00:09:38.063
He's preoccupied no, I'm trying to get this.
00:09:38.063 --> 00:09:42.640
I don't know well it you know I I I authenticated the chasing day that podcast.
00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:44.684
We got the little blue check mark on our account.
00:09:44.745 --> 00:09:47.250
Now we're paying for that.
00:09:47.250 --> 00:09:48.472
We're paying for that now.
00:09:50.961 --> 00:09:54.586
I'm not sure if that has something to do with it or not, but I'll have to dig in and find out what's going on.
00:09:54.586 --> 00:09:57.341
Sent a trouble ticket and it didn't happen.
00:09:57.341 --> 00:09:58.244
Nothing happened.
00:09:59.268 --> 00:10:01.600
We shall see, don't worry about it.
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.344
The guys that want to, we'll be here.
00:10:03.344 --> 00:10:08.913
Don't worry about that, let's talk, I mean we can tune in tomorrow if they need to.
00:10:09.293 --> 00:10:10.014
Yeah, hey.
00:10:10.014 --> 00:10:23.471
I made a little pre-show video and told all the haters and there was a lot of them uh to come on tonight and, and you know, let us have it.
00:10:23.471 --> 00:10:26.407
So I was hoping that ig was working.
00:10:26.407 --> 00:10:34.745
So, uh, they're gonna have to get uh figure out how to get to youtube because, I'm sure we're probably getting some more flack for that now.
00:10:34.745 --> 00:10:53.236
Oh, you call us out, then you don't go live I see how you are yeah yeah, yeah, but uh, mike's in the chat and and he helped exploit our ranking system and quite a few people.
00:10:53.900 --> 00:11:07.903
I was kind of surprised at how much hate we got for not knowing anything about golf, the people who did this ranking clearly don't play golf so many.
00:11:07.903 --> 00:11:09.609
These aren't even in Vegas.
00:11:09.609 --> 00:11:13.229
Half these courses aren't in Vegas.
00:11:13.229 --> 00:11:15.567
There's nine of them that aren't in Vegas.
00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:44.870
I'm not counting the Boulder City, because that's considered Vegas to me 80% of the comments were about Wolf Creek 80% 80% of the comments were just destroying us for saying that Wolf Creek was the 24th best course in the valley or in the region, when some people are saying it's a top 10 course in the country, which is fucking criminal that's ridiculous.
00:11:44.889 --> 00:11:45.351
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
00:11:45.351 --> 00:11:45.932
Which is fucking criminal?
00:11:45.932 --> 00:11:46.735
That's ridiculous.
00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:48.885
That is absolutely insane.
00:11:48.885 --> 00:11:53.910
Yeah, so I had some fun conversations with a few people.
00:11:53.910 --> 00:12:01.264
You know, it's kind of like people from Oregon they're not blown away with Bandon.
00:12:02.506 --> 00:12:03.048
Right, yeah.
00:12:03.149 --> 00:12:03.991
They get a lot of that.
00:12:03.991 --> 00:12:06.025
There's coastal golf courses.
00:12:06.025 --> 00:12:09.830
There's, you know, wooded areas like bandon trails.
00:12:09.830 --> 00:12:13.721
To someone from the portland area is just another golf course.
00:12:13.721 --> 00:12:21.480
For us, you know, bandon trails is, in my opinion, the greatest golf course I've ever played.
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:29.533
It's incredible, but you know we live in the desert little different ambience us you know, beyond is that the right word?
00:12:29.894 --> 00:12:33.543
it's so, it's so subjective, like even I was talking to chris torres.
00:12:33.543 --> 00:12:38.322
He went up to portland and he's like, yeah, it was crazy, like being in the trees.
00:12:38.322 --> 00:12:41.711
You know, you hear the echo of the trees and we don't have trees out here.
00:12:41.711 --> 00:12:42.601
You know what I mean.
00:12:42.601 --> 00:12:55.423
So it's like maybe that person plays on a flat golf course in a muni in missouri, who knows, maybe that's what he sees, and then he goes to, uh, wolf creek creek and is blown away.
00:12:55.484 --> 00:13:00.504
It's just insane, yeah, and then, and then for us it's like we play in the desert, no trees.
00:13:00.504 --> 00:13:25.011
Then we go play band and trails and it tells a story and it's incredible and it's highly ranked because it's that good, you know, and it's so subjective very subjective, but you know I think you can be subjective and realist and and I've said this before it's amazing to look at.
00:13:25.552 --> 00:13:28.182
It is absolutely incredible the, the video game.
00:13:28.182 --> 00:13:35.682
It's a video game what they accomplished out there unbelievable, even though some other courses in the area have done the exact same thing.
00:13:35.682 --> 00:13:41.774
But it's not great golf, it's just not.
00:13:41.774 --> 00:13:45.679
I you know I've had a couple people say oh, first time I played it I started 72.
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:46.802
It's like shut the fuck up.
00:13:46.802 --> 00:13:59.193
Nobody goes into that course blind and shoots 72 because you have no idea 78 first time and that was years ago I shot 73 yeah, okay, maybe I'm wrong first time.
00:13:59.234 --> 00:14:04.688
Yeah, oh no but it's not, it's not a really hard course.
00:14:04.749 --> 00:14:05.629
It's not hard.
00:14:05.629 --> 00:14:08.801
Yeah, you can just blow it blows you away.
00:14:08.801 --> 00:14:14.197
It's like if you are uh feeling uncomfortable, yeah, I can screw you up.
00:14:14.197 --> 00:14:15.520
It's not hard, I don't think.
00:14:15.520 --> 00:14:17.145
I don't think wolf creek's hard at all.
00:14:17.145 --> 00:14:21.923
I think it just, yeah, blast you in the face with the visuals and it's like.
00:14:21.923 --> 00:14:27.104
I would never want to play that course every day and that's why it's so low rank.
00:14:27.104 --> 00:14:28.626
I don't want to play there every day.
00:14:28.626 --> 00:14:31.961
I don't want to five and a half six hour round every day.
00:14:33.663 --> 00:14:54.611
I don't want to gas card every day dude and the guys that please let us play, said that they teed off at like 1 30 and it was summer time and you know it's daylight until 7 45 and they didn't finish yeah, no thanks, wow, no thanks and they basically told him that they weren't gonna finish.
00:14:54.611 --> 00:14:58.248
It's like yeah, yeah, not good, not good, dude.
00:14:58.288 --> 00:15:04.611
I think we were like off at like 7 am and it took us five and a half hours, that's like you know, it's like yeah, it's.
00:15:04.611 --> 00:15:14.879
It's not like like it's visually appealing and cool and video gamey, but it's like I would and that's why it's so low rank.
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:24.488
I could never play there every day, never, no, no, I mean, we put, we played, makes great videos and pictures, for sure.
00:15:25.509 --> 00:15:35.157
We played Revere on a Sunday and Lex and we finished in three and a half hours and it should have been three.
00:15:35.157 --> 00:15:45.525
There was one group in front of us that started a half hour before us and we caught them on the third hole and I mean they finished in four hours.
00:15:45.525 --> 00:15:51.288
So that's good, that's good, but we were still waiting every box.
00:15:52.721 --> 00:15:53.605
You know, what I love.
00:15:53.605 --> 00:16:03.447
What I love is like being first off and it's like the starters, like you're the pace setters, because I did that at Stadium Course and we did that at Sheep Ranch and he's like at Sheep Ranch.
00:16:03.447 --> 00:16:04.673
He's like pace at sheep ranch.
00:16:04.673 --> 00:16:06.341
He's like four hours 15 minutes.
00:16:06.341 --> 00:16:10.850
We finished in like 3, 15 like I love telling them they're wrong.
00:16:10.850 --> 00:16:15.125
You know like and and the homie got an ace, dan got an ace.
00:16:15.206 --> 00:16:26.094
Like that helped exactly one of our groups, one of our groups finished in three exactly, yeah, yeah but not too much we played uh.
00:16:26.294 --> 00:16:31.306
I played uh tpc scottsdale stadium and he's like it's four hours 20 minutes.
00:16:31.306 --> 00:16:33.149
We finished in 3 45.
00:16:33.149 --> 00:16:34.153
We were first out.
00:16:34.153 --> 00:16:38.865
Like it's not hard to like get things done.
00:16:38.865 --> 00:16:43.149
You know what I mean yeah, so how was scottsdale?
00:16:43.250 --> 00:16:46.274
tell us all about it it was good, it was hot.
00:16:46.274 --> 00:16:47.515
It was, uh, humid.
00:16:47.515 --> 00:16:53.368
Um, tpc scottsdale stadium.
00:16:53.368 --> 00:17:04.773
As I've told you guys before I I was not expecting much out of it at all, like it's not um, visually entertaining to like my architecture.
00:17:04.773 --> 00:17:10.278
I, if you will, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a savant or anything but I enjoyed it.
00:17:10.278 --> 00:17:13.689
It was way more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be like.
00:17:13.689 --> 00:17:15.362
Way more enjoyable.
00:17:15.362 --> 00:17:20.388
I thought I was going to be like okay, I got it done and yeah, it was cool, really cool.
00:17:20.388 --> 00:17:24.769
Primo conditions, greens were incredible.
00:17:24.769 --> 00:17:29.882
A lot of history there.
00:17:29.882 --> 00:17:30.403
Of course it was.
00:17:30.403 --> 00:17:30.943
I'm glad I.
00:17:30.943 --> 00:17:32.748
I'm glad I did it because I was.
00:17:32.748 --> 00:17:36.683
There's so many options out there in Scottsdale that's, that's the hard thing.
00:17:36.683 --> 00:17:38.607
There's so many golf courses out there.
00:17:38.607 --> 00:17:40.452
Glad I did it.
00:17:42.101 --> 00:17:43.346
Yeah, what's your favorite hole?
00:17:43.346 --> 00:17:50.126
You remember anything stand out to you that maybe you weren't expecting my favorite hole was 15.
00:17:50.207 --> 00:17:53.874
I think that hole is insane very long.
00:17:53.874 --> 00:17:57.986
Par four green was super elevated um.
00:17:57.986 --> 00:18:08.163
I I hit a great drive to the right side of the fairway and I had like two or five in and the green super elevated and I had a great four iron.
00:18:08.163 --> 00:18:23.067
Uh, it ran off the back, but that hole is very long, very long um and then uh, like one, I think, only one birdie, I think.
00:18:23.749 --> 00:18:24.411
What hold your birdie?
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.143
I don't remember.
00:18:28.143 --> 00:18:28.865
I got one birdie.
00:18:28.865 --> 00:18:30.748
I missed the green on 16.
00:18:30.748 --> 00:18:32.972
Almost drove the green on 17.
00:18:32.972 --> 00:18:38.352
Oh yeah, and that's another thing about 16.
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:40.582
16 is.
00:18:40.582 --> 00:18:46.902
I mean, obviously you should have gone live so we could have, you know, cheered or thrown our beers or yeah, the stands are not there, but it was.
00:18:47.502 --> 00:18:50.910
There's way more like it's not.
