00:00I forgot, honestly, how different Lynx golf is in Ireland versus Scotland, how it's while

00:09the course is still pretty flat, there's just you kind of play between the dunes.

00:14And I mean, I was I think we were all telling the guys like the fescue that of the courses

00:20we played was 100% thicker than the open.

00:24I mean, the fescue at the European Club was a joke.

00:27Like I lost an infinite amount of golf balls like we were playing the you know, we're playing

00:33the tees up with the get with all the guys and I mean, I'm sorry, I didn't go on a trip

00:38to Ireland to hit four iron off tee.

00:40So Jordan and I were like trying to thread the needle here on like a couple yard wide

00:43fairway and you know, I hit a couple of stuff and fair enough, they were hard to find.

00:49But yeah, it was just fun being able to play that much Lynx golf, not in competition to

00:55where I felt like I could kind of have some fun and you know, hit some hit some different

00:59clubs and some different shots and I was probably really anointing annoying to caddy for because

01:04you know, I was sitting like eight irons from 90 yards and stuff like running it up the

01:08whole way.

01:09But I'm like, we can't do this in the state.

01:10So I'm trying to take advantage of it.

01:12Well, you always said you've loved playing Lynx golf and it's it's so fun to to hit play

01:17all these different shots.

01:18You have so many different options.

01:20And it felt like every single day that you were there, you lean more and more into exactly

01:26what you're talking about by by county load.

01:28You were you were just hitting just the most absurd shots.

01:32Yeah, yeah, I could Yeah, that hit the nail on the head like it was.

01:38I mean, obviously, it was I would never do a golf trip after the Scottish or a tournament

01:45in a major except for over there like I there's a lot of places in the states I love and I

01:50would be honored to go play but after like a major that just it's a lot.

01:56And so the the interest level in golf in general wasn't maybe as high as it would be if I went

02:02next week or right now.

02:03But it was still because of playing those courses that you know, we're never going to

02:08play unless we're there that kept the interest level up and but yeah, it definitely was something

02:14where I just, you know, between looking for golf balls for the guys from time to time,

02:20maybe a couple of myself, it was just like, you know, I'm, I just, I just don't really

02:25feel like hitting a nine iron from 150 yards, like, just give me a six iron, like, let's

02:29just see what I can do.

02:30I don't know.
