Let's just talk a little bit about this golf course.
00:06
You've played it before, but there's rumors that they may get an open championship.
00:11
Just what was your impressions of that golf course as we, uh, I've already kind of discussed
00:14
European and Island club.
00:16
Yeah, I think European and Island club were, um, were, uh, you know, incredibly unique
00:22
and Port Marnick is, uh, is more like proper standard links.
00:27
You don't have anything that's, um, kind of odd or wild that sticks out in a way.
00:32
It's also, it was the closest to, to Dublin.
00:35
Um, so I think that would be incredible for if the infrastructure is there, which I guess
00:40
they're figuring out that it can be, you know, what a, what a scene that could be.
00:44
Because I think about, you know, I think about that Adair Manor pro-am and who showed up
00:49
like the crowds that showed up there, you know, and, and I mean, it was, it was unbelievable.
00:55
And I, I think the whole, I mean, the, um, Port Rush open was amazing, but then you throw
01:00
one like right there where you're within a half hour of, um, of Dublin, what a scene
01:06
that'll be.
01:07
And then, um, not to mention, you know, you could have carnage off that first tee.
01:12
Yeah.
01:13
I mean, once you do the first hole, you put it on the ground and you hit a little butter
01:18
cut driver off the deck and then you hit a nine iron to about a foot and a half and you
01:24
walk up and you pick it up.
01:26
And that's, uh, that's the Smiley Kaufman route.
01:28
Uh, it will be one that you hit a two iron on the next hour, about 60 yards away.
01:32
Well, we're still on number one, number one, you kind of ease into the course a little
01:38
bit, but you know, it's all about the conditions.
01:40
So it's a, it's a, it's a cool golf course.
01:43
You know, that wind picked up for us on that back nine, it showed a little bit and the
01:47
bunkers are just kind of like a true and it's like, they're so annoyingly placed right where
01:52
you're going to drive the ball.
01:53
So, you know, mix and match of being able to make Eagle, but bogey on the same hole,
01:58
which when you guys made Eagle, I think I'm still playing that whole right now.
02:01
I still don't think I don't think I finished it.
02:04
Was it the whole word bounce through the course or like we, we acted like it bounced through
02:08
the course.
02:09
I also shanked like three bunker shots in a row on the same hole.
02:12
So I'm still playing.
02:13
Yeah.
02:14
I would struggle to get in on single digits, but you guys made it look pretty easy.
