00:00 You had a chance to qualify for a PGA Tour event.

00:02 I mean, what was the process like of mentally getting

00:05 ready for that?

00:06 And how do you prepare?

00:08 Do you try to play cool and just relax and not worry about it?

00:12 Or do you really kind of go to the range and get ready?

00:14 Like, what was that whole experience like?

00:16 Yeah.

00:17 Well, I shot 81.

00:18 So whatever I did, I should have done something else.

00:23 Yeah, that was a really unique opportunity.

00:25 Like, I remember getting the phone call about it.

00:28 My first instinct was like, what a great idea this is.

00:31 Like, opposite a field event, first year tour stop.

00:34 Like, what a brilliant move by Myrtle Beach

00:38 to create a little bit of hype, a little bit of lead in,

00:43 leverage our audiences.

00:44 Like, it was smart.

00:47 It was smart.

00:48 And it felt like it was a win-win.

00:50 You know what I mean?

00:51 We could get some really good content, super cool opportunity

00:54 from us as creators.

00:56 But also, like, they're going to get a pretty cool jolt

01:00 in an audience and look in on this thing.

01:02 So yeah, I'll never have a round that

01:07 has so much at stake as that one.

01:10 I was still living in Virginia at the time.

01:13 This was like early March, and this was film.

01:15 So I was still in Virginia.

01:16 It's cold.

01:18 And so we did a film week in Myrtle Beach leading up to it.

01:22 And before we-- so it was like a week leading in.

01:25 Before that week getting down there,

01:27 I didn't play for three weeks.

01:28 So that was a mistake.

01:31 I should have been doing anything, like something.

01:34 Or I should have just flown to Florida and just, like,

01:37 worked on my game a little bit.

01:38 So I didn't play my best.

01:42 I didn't prepare to play my best.

01:47 I had to have played--

01:48 I would have had to play my best round of my life,

01:51 probably, at that setup and against those guys

01:55 to be in the mix.
