00:00
Thursday was quite ridiculous.
00:03
We kind of talked about that on the Wednesday
00:06
one and done pics when we went live.
00:08
I really felt like that morning was me.
00:10
Brutal can be cold, can be gusty, can be windy.
00:14
And it was it was really hard.
00:16
And I was very fortunate to not have been walking in those conditions
00:20
because it would have been brutal just to even be out there in it.
00:24
And I felt bad for all the guys that that had those morning tea times.
00:28
And surprisingly, it wasn't as lopsided as I kind of thought it might be.
00:34
I think guys like really rallied from the morning players
00:36
that played in the morning, like Keegan Bradley being a guy
00:39
who we're definitely going to talk about.
00:40
More cow is kind of right at the split.
00:43
But that Thursday, man, especially considering Wednesday,
00:47
you know, the I mentioned kind of right around that one
00:51
and a done deal that we're expecting to get rain.
00:54
We got like a tenth of an inch.
00:55
So there was just hardly zero rain.
00:58
And then Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, the golf course was already Sunday.
01:04
Look at as far as just how the golf course was playing from a firm
01:07
and fast perspective.
01:08
Now, I had a question for you because I we're looking at aerial shots
01:12
of the course right now.
01:13
You can tell the greens are very crusty, you know, glassy.
01:17
You have a note in here that says soft fairways.
01:20
And I know and we saw that play out like Jason Day got a mud ball.
01:23
I think I was 15 or 16 or something like that.
01:25
So I know they were soft.
01:27
We're looking at aerials where they look like brown in a lot of spots.
01:30
Yeah. What was the sort of contrast there in terms of how they were firm
01:35
in some spots, but just stayed wet in other spots where you could get a mud ball?
01:38
It it was unusual.
01:40
You know, like the fairways smelled burnt a lot of places.
01:46
Like when you're walking
01:48
and certain spots, you just you almost could smell the how
01:54
how burnt the fairways are.
01:56
But you're right.
01:57
There were so many areas that were just kind of soft
02:01
and then others that were just rock hard, like hard pan and firm.
02:06
Really weird.
02:08
And the golf course played unusual from tee to green.
02:11
Now the greens were not unusual.
02:14
They they were just dead.
02:15
Pretty much there was hardly zero grass on these greens.
02:19
Let me send you a picture.
02:21
I sent this to.
02:23
Oh, let's see some live producing here.
02:25
I sent this picture to
02:28
Solly when when Keegan was like eight under through 11
02:33
and he had like Keegan's over instead of this picture.
02:36
I said, Can you just imagine if the wind blew today?
