332: Thrifty Golf - From COVID Golfer to WhatNot Success Story
Ready to dive into the fascinating world where thrifting meets golf? This episode takes you behind the scenes with Thrifty Golf (Tyler), who transformed his pandemic hobby into a full-time vintage golf business on Whatnot.
Tyler's journey begins like many others in 2020—a COVID golfer hunting for decent clubs who accidentally discovered a business opportunity when reselling testing equipment. What makes his story compelling isn't just the business success, but his genuine passion for breathing new life into forgotten golf treasures. "I have this passion for taking the really old stuff that nobody thinks is any good and re-gripping it, cleaning it, and making it shine again," he shares.
We explore the unique appeal of vintage golf gear in a world dominated by mass production. There's something special about owning a piece no one else has—whether it's a Desert Inn hat from Vegas or a Cleveland banger putter soaking in vinegar in Tyler's backyard. For Tyler, the hunt is as rewarding as the find: "I love having people that I can shop for... having that purpose makes sourcing really fun."
The conversation takes fascinating turns through the evolution of golf fashion (those crazy patterns everyone loves now? They're revolutionizing what was once a stuffy, solid-color world), the future of live shopping as retail's next frontier, and the delicate balance between golf tradition and modern accessibility.
Whether you're a vintage enthusiast, a whatnot seller/buyer, or simply curious about how passion projects become full-time gigs, Tyler's insights reveal why golf treasures from yesterday find such resonance with players today.

Thank you. What is up everybody? Welcome to the podcast. Dad is not alone this evening and I am in control, so welcome. It's been a while since I've been in control. How are you guys doing, dan Jeremy, how are you living this evening? Doing good Yep doing well.
Speaker 1:Well, we got a special guest this evening. He's a banger, if you will. Thrifty Golf. Thrifty Golf from Whatnot, and we've been talking a lot of Whatnot lately. I heard a little bit of it. Yeah yeah, welcome to the show, bro. Why don't you introduce yourself, tell us what you do and anything.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, so I go by thrifty. My real name is Tyler, but most people call me thrifty. It's kind of weird in this world for people to call me anything besides thrifty. So thrifty is okay for you guys to totally will respond to. It's all good. So I own a small business in maryland um, just buying and reselling golf equipment, golf items, hats, apparel, other anything really golf related. Um, I started doing it right around covid and did it kind of more as a side hustle at the time, a little something extra for my family. It was always what you I would joke with my wife. It paid for the vacations. So that was a good thing. And as time went on, it kind of grew and grew a little bit more and more. I started an Instagram account to kind of document my finds from a recommendation of a friend another whatnot guy currently uh, hit him for golf. He said man, you find a lot of cool stuff. You probably should start an.
Speaker 3:Instagram and document it. And I was like, ah, I'm not really social media guy.
Speaker 1:Like that so I started doing it.
Speaker 3:Um, and it was a really good thing that I did, because shortly after, whatnot was trying to start and grow the golf category and they were kind of going around to different people that seemed like they did what I did and what others did, where we went around finding golf stuff and we were reselling it, and so that'll be July. This July two years ago that they did that Asked me if I wanted to join. Didn't really know how it would go, how I would do. Would I like selling things live to people talking to a camera, like what would that be like? Um, I was already familiar with whatnot before. If I'm talking too much at any point too, just just tell me.
Speaker 1:No, no. The ads on Instagram. I knew of whatnot because of the ads of Instagram, yeah, but before we go that deep into it, I would like to understand your golf journey and why is it? Golf yeah.
Speaker 3:So it's kind of like, actually, as it relates to golf. I started playing. I don't really have much experience playing golf. I started playing golf, uh, when covet hit. It was always one of those things that I had always kind of meant to do. I just never really got around to doing it. I thought, man, it would be really cool to learn how to play golf and be competent enough that you could go out for a work thing or with the guys. You wouldn't be a total disaster, wouldn't be, you know, holding everybody up. It would just be nice to know enough to be able to go out and be competent. That was always my thing.
Speaker 3:And then covid happened and naturally, like myself and so many other people, um, I bought the stupid junkie starter set from dicks and got some lessons from a buddy of mine who played golf in college. Um, and you know, he taught me a few things and I'm not good, wasn't then still not. But I fell in love with it and became addicted to just going to the range and hitting balls. Um, and I really just started this piece to the journey because I didn't really know what type of clubs I liked to use personally. So I had watched, you know, youtube Stacked Golf.
Speaker 3:Other people were doing the same thing and really at the time Stacked's main motto was like you can play golf for a reasonable amount of money. I have a background as a thrifter. I can talk more about that, you know, if we want to get into that too. But yeah, um, you know, I essentially was just buying sets of irons and taking them to the driving range. I'd hit them, see if I liked them. And then the first couple times I was like, well, maybe I'll try something else. And then I went to resell them on facebook and I made money each time and I was like right, okay, this is kind of cool, like what's going on here.
Speaker 3:This is, this is crazy, and they would sell like immediately and I'd have some background reselling on eBay and other places. So I was like man, maybe I could like expand this a little bit. You know, not quite to the extent that it is now, I never would have guessed, you know. Um, so that's kind of how golf started for me and I just kind of fell in love with like the equipment and the clubs and I have this passion for like taking the really old stuff that nobody thinks is any good and kind of re-gripping it and cleaning it and making it yeah yeah, I forgot about the wedge.
Speaker 1:I'm soaking in vinegar in the backyard currently. Uh, I probably should go scrub that. But, um, I mean for us here at chasing daylight podcast, we are like certified golf nerds. We love the game, we love the history, we love playing, we love, uh, all aspects. We love the tour. We talk shit about Liv occasionally, but you know, we love everything golf and I mean I'm a huge architecture nerd and we are big guys that you know.
Speaker 1:With 2020 COVID coming over, you lot, of, a lot of guys don't know about the intricacies of the game and you found your way and, like, I've watched your show many times and uh, like, learning about shafts there's, you can go so far down the rabbit hole with the game right torque, uh kick point, uh grips, you do such a good job and I I'm actually kind of surprised that you're a 2020 covid golfer. Um, yeah, you know, but you do such a great job, but, um, so you don't really play all that much, huh no, don't really have the time to like until I just I just started doing this full time in April.
Speaker 3:Actually, I was working a full time job for the state government for the past seven years prior Um, and I was just trying to do this part time as a side hustle. I was literally like killing myself, trying to make things both things work really well. Um, I was like sleeping three hours a night and stuff. So, because I try to put 110% into everything that I do, including this, and then you know, it kind of made sense, we got to a point where it all kind of made sense. Yeah, sorry.
Speaker 3:I just I saw the little comment pop up. There's the Cleveland Vast fast vintage banger um.
Speaker 1:I'm so used to talking with the chat I know, I know well, we're the, we're the homies, we're the homies now.
Speaker 3:So you're the ones have to listen to me. Um, what was I saying?
Speaker 3:I'm sorry I I spaced out oh yeah so yeah, so we uh, I talked with my wife, we figured it out and and uh, yeah, so doing this full-time now. My hope is that at some point you know, right now I'm in like an expansion phase of my business I'm trying to scale more to the point where it makes sense that this is a full-time thing and with that I'm getting myself to the point where I'm stretching myself too thin again just doing this one business. So I'm going to have to hire people to help me. I'm eventually going to have to expand my space, all that sort of thing, and the hope is that one day, yes, I do have more time to play golf. Yes, I do hope that, because I do love it and enjoy it.
Speaker 3:It's just right now I just don't have the time to prioritize playing as a thing, so yeah, yeah, that's really interesting, right.
Speaker 1:So you come from the aspect of not playing golf very often and then going into the golf space on whatnot. I come from like a golf background. I had my own, I had hitting greens brand. I mean, how long have I been doing? Three years, you know. I had shirts. I did limited drops more than that probably right.
Speaker 1:So it's like it's very interesting, like the, the scope of things, like a lot of sellers are coming to the app. They don't know their stuff but then they, they sell what's in their garage and they don't have a brand yet. And I'm thankful that I have a brand currently. But the the reason I started is because I was grilling some steaks in the backyard and I was watching a guy I didn't like. I was like I'm going in the garage and I'm selling the stuff that I have in there. I don't give a fuck, you know, and it's not easy. It's not easy. And respect to all to you. You just hit a huge milestone Uh, 25 K followers. Uh left your day job and it's not easy. It really is not easy. And the guys that have come over to watch me, they've said that. They said I don't know how you do that by yourself, so you're doing it by yourself. It's a lot of juggling for sure.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's, it's. You have to be able to multitask when you run the shows, and if you're not used to doing it, you know. I've done it for two years, so I know very well. I know the intricacies of how things work. There's jokes about me knowing how certain features work and other guys will never touch them.
Speaker 1:The pinned pin joint.
Speaker 3:I feel like I've gotten it nailed down and others will not even touch it. It's tough. It for sure is tough. I've had a lot of people say the same, where they're like I don't know how you do all that all at the same time. Um, it's not easy, man, a lot so it's not easy.
Speaker 1:Where does your so like? Where did your knowledge of the vintage area of golf come from? Because I mean, you are a vintage guy. Like I spent way too much money on this hat but I rock it with the ultimate pride because it's Vegas, the Desert Inn hat. But where does that come from? It's so good.
Speaker 3:I love it. So I actually have been thrifting vintage since the early 2000s. Before it was cool. My wife and I in high school would go thrifting and man, the thrifting world was so different back then you could go. I just remember going to we had like a little stretch of stores that we would hit by me and you'd spend the whole day thrifting. Come home with a trash bag for 15, 20 bucks. In the trash bag bag I mean a billion t-shirts loaded up in that thing and you 'd be lucky these days to get a few t-shirts for that, just because thrifting is so huge now um, but I've been by the pound, by the pound back then, oh man it was, yeah, 25 cents, 50 cents a t-shirt and stuff.
Speaker 3:But you know, we used to, we used to do it because i't know, we didn't know all the lingo of all of the vintage guys that you know that there is now, with the single stitch and the made in USA tags and all that sort of thing?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't know any of that stuff.
Speaker 3:At the time we just knew that we liked the old 80s t-shirts because they were super soft and super thin and that's what we would always look for. So like over time that's always kind of been a part of me is going thrifting, looking for cool stuff. I love the uniqueness of thrifting for vintage because I'm not in I'm personally not into like having tons and tons of like mass produced stuff because same everybody else can have it right like I could have the same and not to. I don't want to get into any particular brands, but you know any big golf manufacturer. I buy a hat from them today. I could go tomorrow and see somebody in the street or at the golf course has the same exact one I'm wearing. But if I find that hat that joe's wearing right now, what are the chances that somebody else in the world has that same exact hat on right now?
Speaker 2:Probably pretty slim.
Speaker 3:So the uniqueness of that is the thing that draws me to it and I love it. I love it so much Just knowing that you have something that could be potentially unique to you, because all the other ones may be burned up in a fire, got thrown away in the trash or whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:It's just so cool and and you bring.
Speaker 1:You bring so many pieces from years ago back to life. You know what I mean. Like this is probably from what I mean, I don't know the years 90s, but it was probably sitting in somebody's like closet, you know and they just, they played the round out there, they bought something and uh, it was sitting in grandpa's closet, you know, and they just, they played the round out there, they bought something and uh, it was sitting in grandpa's closet, you know, and probably dusty or who knows. But you bring it back to life too. That's also a skill in its own right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah. So I learned, um, there's one particular guy that's a vintage guy in Wisconsin. His name's bread boys vintage. He's really big into vintage hats and he was on Whatnot and so I kind of started buying and selling hats a little bit right before that and I watched his show and the guy was like so knowledgeable about hats in general, not just golf hats, and I was just like fascinated by how much knowledge he had. So I kind of befriended him.
Speaker 3:I watched every show he did. I messaged him, talked with him on instagram. I asked if he would give me a tutorial on how to clean hats, like really well, because he knew so much about how to clean them properly without damaging them and all that kind of stuff. And so I just became like his student and learned. He just absorbed everything I could about the vintage hats and he wasn't necessarily golf. I mean I kind of was able to meld his knowledge of just vintage hats in general with, like the vintage golf hat market and kind of combine the two. And then it kind of turned into this thing that I did and I was a part of after that. But yeah, I mean credit to him because a lot of what I know when it comes to, you know, cleaning and reshaping and making, bringing them back to life, as you said was a lot of just learning from him.
Speaker 1:So I'm I'm curious to hear what you think about, like the new wave of golf clothing. Like Marco, like obviously loves students. You said the word students, which made me think of this. Yeah, you know, students malbon like. How do you feel about the up-and-comers right? Because I'm one of them I'm one of them.
Speaker 3:I love it. Yeah, personally I love it. So I'll talk about what first. We just talked about hats, so let's talk about hats for a second.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the thing that drives me crazy about the modern day hats is that everybody is so into them right now. What they don't realize is, essentially every one of the hats that we're all wearing is the same exact style as a vintage hat. Right? They all have ropes, they all have high crowns. The only difference is that they have snapbacks. Otherwise, because you're the one you're wearing right now has a leather strap, and that's how they made the majority of them well, it's also cardboard too here.
Speaker 3:Yeah, cardboard brim right because that, yeah, you have to be careful with the cardboard brims, but for the most part, the overall style of the hat is literally a vintage hat. It's the same thing, except for whatever is on the front. The rest of the style of the hat's the same. Um, so it's. It's just just funny to me how so many of the guys are just so into like, oh, I would never wear a vintage hat, but meanwhile you're going to wear something that has a huge high front crown and a rope. It's the same thing.
Speaker 3:Hat change, hat change yeah, there you go. Another vintage. I love again. I love the style of all Malabon. I love you know Jason day going out there, kind of bringing some uniqueness to golf. Yeah, absolutely I love that. We're kind of getting away from the stuffiness and guys are wearing performance hoodies and stuff like that more often. I think it's really cool. Um, and yeah, I mean I just anything that like we're stepping out of the box with the fashion in golf, I love it. I think it's great. I mean I just anything that like we're stepping out of the box with the fashion in golf, I love it. I think it's great. I mean I've again because some of that, uh, I don't know if you would call Malbon streetwear golf or how you would describe that, but like some, some of that style of clothing in the golf space right now is modeled after vintage. Like you don't have to totally twice to do it.
Speaker 1:You know I think it's great, absolutely. It's so interesting how golf has changed since the onslaught of the covid game, right, like it's changed so much in five years. You know golf is now cool. It wasn't. I mean, it wasn't cool, it was stuffy, and you know I still have. You know I played a little bit as a kid but you know I remember, you know it's like I took a shirt in, but now people are like it's so different and I think it's because of the influx of players, such as yourself, from 2020, and the game has grown a lot. We are here on Chase and Daylight Podcast. We love growing the game right, but we love growing the game correctly. I think what's missing in the game is people aren't teached the proper etiquette the fixing ball marks, filling your divots, raking your bunkers and that's. We've seen that in Vegas a lot and, uh, I just wish somebody would like take hold and, like you know what I mean Teach them the right way.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, I feel, yeah, Um, there is something to being able to go out with some, some you don't want to just start playing golf with all newbies, right, you want to have some experience, experience people with you when you are first go out, and that was always my thing, like I'm very much into. Like when I first wanted to learn how to play, I told my friend I was like I want to just go right to you before I even swing a club because I want to know, like I want to be a clean slate.
Speaker 3:I want to not have any, have any bad habits or mistakes or whatever. But I also was always kind of like afraid to go play around because of the etiquette of golf. Like I wanted to make sure I was doing things the right way. And I don't, I know not everybody always thinks about that, but for me, like, making sure I do things the right way is always just part of my life. So I kind of always wanted to make sure that I was doing that. So it was important to me to be with other people that understood what doing the right thing meant.
Speaker 1:And I think that shows in your essence of what you sell, right Like I've never seen you sell anything Bad Birdie, or maybe I have, I have.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But it's like that is, and that's kind of weird, right, like the stereotypes of what people wear on the golf course, like Bad Birdie is associated with drinking and being crazy on the golf course, and that's what I love Great patterns, right. But it's also it's changed so much. And now you're, I saw a polo at Walmart the other day. It was on clearance. It looked exactly like a bad birdie t-shirt. Oh yeah, you know what I mean. And it's like people are trying to come into the game or the golf market.
Speaker 3:Now, yeah, and changing up the whole thing, it's just wow, yeah, we, I've talked with a couple griff golf 304, my buddy he's yeah, griff's, he's an OG on the app on whatnot. He's one of the first guys to be on there. He was selling when there wasn't even a golf category, he was just selling in sporting goods. So he was kind of like a trailblazer for golf Sweet On whatnot. But he's a big. I would say that he's a bougie shirt guy.
Speaker 3:And something we've talked about a lot recently is the fact that so many of these I would say not as desirable brands like walter hagins- yeah, yeah um what? What are some other ones?
Speaker 1:well, stuff you can find on a clearance rack, then there's abundance of them.
Speaker 3:They're just lower tier stuff. But I swear to you they've been tricking me recently with the patterns that they've been putting out yeah, the patterns have been great. And then I'm like whoa, what's this, what's this shirt gonna be like if I'm thrifting and I'm like oh, it's a walter hagan, but the pattern is really good, like they're stepping up the game on the patterns.
Speaker 3:But again, I think it's, I think it's in a direct, direct uh result of what you just said, like everybody's trying to catch up with these other guys that have already been ahead of it with the cool patterns, like you know, pins and aces is on whatnot those guys are making crazy, yeah, stuff and yeah they are all there. Everybody's just trying to follow that lead, because that's what's really working in the in the modern day golf apparel space right now.
Speaker 4:So yeah, it's crazy like it's. It's amazing like those first companies that came out and took the risk of making those prints and stuff, because back then it was like solid colors, maybe some stripes, that was like the golf shirt. Now it's like you see everything out on the golf course.
Speaker 3:Now. Yeah, now it's the crazier the better. Like, if I'm out drifting, I get so excited when I see crazy patterns because I'm like, oh man, the guys are going to love this one. Like the crazier the better.
Speaker 1:So yeah, it's crazy. I mean you, you live in an area that is abundant to golf, OK, and you have. I mean we're kind of jealous in Las Vegas, right. So we're in Vegas, we have like 50 golf courses if you will, but people are transient here. You guys have members. You can travel three hours and play some of the greatest golf courses in the country. Right, there's, there's so many, and I found don't forget very seasonal here.
Speaker 1:That's true. We can play all year. We can play all year. That's. That's the one upside. But for you you can travel three hours and play, basically I don't know hundreds of top 200 courses. I I mean, I'm just throwing numbers out there, but like you're in an area where a burning tree I know, I ask you always for burning tree.
Speaker 3:I do found I found two burning trees today. We'll see you now xl, xl.
Speaker 1:That's the one, um, I mean, and there's so many sleeper golf courses in that area. Like I asked you about bitterman, um, which is in, uh, wilmington, uh, I got to play with my friend that's up there and and you never even heard of it and that's the thing in your area there is so many incredible golf courses that you've never heard of, but you are in a land of golf abundance and I'm jealous, I'm jealous, oh sorry.
Speaker 3:I just was born here. I don't know what to tell you, but you got good crab.
Speaker 1:You got good crab. What's the local Old Bay. What's the local Old Bay out?
Speaker 3:there, that's the spice, yeah.
Speaker 1:No, what's the local?
Speaker 3:one, what's the local one? Oh J-O Spice, is that the?
Speaker 1:one you're talking about.
Speaker 3:There we go, yeah, yeah, j-o. Everybody always yeah, you don't know about jo spice unless you live, yeah, but that's the one most people, the waterman, put on the crabs instead of old bay.
Speaker 1:Old bay is the like commercial, like one. Yeah, that's not, that's the non-vintage, non-vintage. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, yeah that's funny so when you, when you go play, where do you go play?
Speaker 3:uh, there's a couple ones that are local to me, just like local munis. There's one that's called oak creek that I played a ton during covid uh, it's like a little south of me. It was amazing. It's such a nice course and during covid they could, uh, there was like a twilight rate that we were playing after 3 pm during the summer and it was like 3535 for the round. It was crazy. So, um, so that would probably be my like number one by me if I were to go play. And then when I had my full-time job, I worked in Baltimore. So there's actually a slew of Baltimore city courses that are shockingly not terrible public courses. They actually do maintain them pretty well. Well, um, so I would play there just for the convenience of you know being pretty close after work that sort of thing when I was playing some.
Speaker 1:So I will tell you a little, a little, uh, lesser known fact about me. Uh, I was on. Who wants to be a millionaire with my wife? During the uh, yeah, wow with my wife for the lucky and love couples week, and that was my first time to maryland. That was my first time in maryland and, uh I, I went to play timbers at troy. You ever played.
Speaker 3:Yes, yeah, I haven't played there.
Speaker 1:I know where it is though that's uh, about, it's about five minutes from, uh, my wife's aunt's house. I played with a set of rental Wilsons that were senior flex and it was terrible club wise, but it was awesome, I mean, and that and that's also a thing like for us, right, we're in the desert. We don't get trees up there. You got trees. Yeah, coach porch said five minutes from my house. Well, my aunt-in-law lives right there too, but yeah, it's just different up there and we're jealous of that. But you guys, other people are also jealous of playing in the desert, right?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I saw the intro video. I was watching the intro video of you guys teeing off and I was like man, that course looks cool. That looks like that would be really fun to play that course yeah, that's looks cool.
Speaker 1:That looks like that would be really fun to play. That course yeah, that's Black.
Speaker 3:Panther, you always want what you don't have right.
Speaker 1:Exactly Playing Shadow Creek for the first time on Thursday, me and Jeremy.
Speaker 1:That's going to be fun. That's awesome. Coach Porch said teaching newbies is kind of the responsibility of the veteran golfers that are playing with the newbies. I think it's up to us to share the game the right way. For me, that's what I try and do. On whatnot Everybody asks about, should I take lessons, should I get a stiff flex shaft? And it's everybody's so different, everybody's so unique, and it's about sharing the knowledge. You know what I mean. It's pretty wild. It's so wild like and it's a shock to me being a newer guy coming, but it's it's different. But you also take a snapshot picture of the old ways, which I love personally. You know what I mean and your knowledge of the older style, the old school way, is commendable, if you will, because I have a persimmon. I have a custom persimmon from Larson Golf downstairs that I take out every once in a while, but I think people should dive into the ways of how it was to figure out where it's at. You know what I mean it's important to understand.
Speaker 3:If you want to be really into something, it's important to understand the history of that thing, to know how you got to where you are now. Right, um, exactly because because, like everybody's, obsessed with scotty, cameron, putters and whatever like I don't understand that I mean I love them. I think they're great, I think the craftsmanship is really cool and stuff, but it's also cool to understand how they get to where they are Right. What are we?
Speaker 1:pointing we're pointing at Jeremy. He's a huge Scotty fan.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I mean I am too, but I've been liking them, since like the 90s, yeah, and I love the old ones.
Speaker 2:The old ones are the best, Like that's you know, but again it's also just my love for anything old yeah, the idea that there's some uniqueness and rarity to the fact that I might have one, that somebody else doesn't, or there's few of them left out there.
Speaker 1:I don't want the brand new scotty, I don't care about that that doesn't mean anything to me, but you're also very familiar with goodwood putters, who is in your area we all got putters made by goodwood. Goodwood putters, fantastic putters, craftsmanship. I will always go custom over anything stock that you can buy online like I want to tell you what I want. You know that's me, but jeremy got. Jeremy got a goodwood putter recently. He has played it, which I I enjoyed seeing, but he also has a putter from strokes game. That's my gamer and he's. I've never seen that on the golf course, ever.
Speaker 1:And it's a it's a Pete die. We threw a. We threw a Pete die A tournament. You will buy you tribute. That's where we met Dan, which is now one of my brothers, my one of my best friends. That's where we met him. But jeremy won this custom legends never die. That's what we called it after p die passed away and it's so sick and it's just sitting in a closet and I hate to see that. I really hate to see it in between several scotties.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and he just plays scott and so you're not into collecting, you just think that every putter should be game with them honestly, I meant joe, I didn't mean you jeremy, I meant joe no, no, no. I think putters should be gamed. It's like it's a tool no, it's not something to collect yeah, tools, not jewels.
Speaker 1:I'll say that. Yeah, but yeah, I think, especially with with the other right, it is a it's personal. Putters are personal. You know what I mean. It is something that gets you in the hole and it's like you have to find your correct relationship. You know I'll dabble here and there, but, um, I think if you go custom or even if you get a scotty and it's stamped with your initials, it brings a a closer connection to that putter. That's, that's my whole thing. It's like I care for this. You know what I mean? Yeah, because it's mine, it's nobody else's. This is my putter and that's where I'm at with it.
Speaker 3:Um, but yeah, jeremy, not taking that out of the closet just always irritates me yeah I think some of them honestly, it's just this amazing piece of artwork, like some totally, yeah, absolutely great I can't. I can't even imagine somebody gaming some of these putters that I've seen just because yeah, oh yeah beautiful pieces of artwork, you know I do feel like they're just meant to be looked at some of them.
Speaker 1:Some of them absolutely.
Speaker 4:But I love seeing those 009 Scotties. They've obviously been gamed and they're $10,000 on eBay. That is sick to me. I would absolutely game a 009.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you're a sicko if you do that, but that's cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but he's a fan. He's been golfing. How long have you been golfing, Jeremy? I don't even know my dad.
Speaker 4:Like most people I know, they learn golf from their dad or uncle or grandpa or someone in my whole life.
Speaker 4:When I was two, I probably started going out with him. It would be interesting, though, because I mean, I know some people that started playing golf during COVID, like yourself, but it would be interesting to see golf through their eyes, because for me it's a completely different thing. I feel like I'm more of a traditionalist type of person, so the whole COVID thing and a bunch of people starting to play golf that maybe weren't introduced the same way I was, is an interesting thought to me, because it's always been like we all go out with our dad or, you know, go with your cousins and your grandpa, you go play golf, but there's people that really started playing in an older age, that didn't have that, and that may lead into some of those things we talked about earlier about not having someone to teach them the etiquette while you're playing for the first time, or whatever it's that would be interesting to see that through other people's eyes, of, kind of the newer golfer absolutely it's wild man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is golf is so much it's insane. It really has. Golf is the greatest game ever created in my eyes. Always will be, always has been. I mean, I started playing in 2018. I mean, I went out with my dad a couple of times and he went by me new club so I stopped and I'd probably be on live right now because I would have took the bag. But you know, it is what it is, um, but no, I mean it's, it's super interesting yeah so do you do anything else besides the golfs?
Speaker 4:the golfs. Do you sell any other vintage stuff still, or is it pretty much just golf?
Speaker 3:um, I do sell some vintage but I wholesale it all now to somebody that I'm close with that has a store. So it's just a lot easier for me because then I don't waste any time looking for the stuff. I only look for what I think he might want specifically for his store that he curates. So you know, we've worked together over time and it's like if I'm out and I happen to see something, I'll pick it up for him. I just wholesale directly to him for his shop. It just makes it easier for me. It doesn't really add up to a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, but it just gives me the outlet that if I see something that I know I can't, I just would feel terrible leaving behind that it's something I can just feed right to him instead.
Speaker 3:But yeah, I mean, and, and, frankly, like I'm at a point now where all of my business is really on whatnot.
Speaker 3:Like I don't sell anywhere else anymore. Um, I still have some stuff listed elsewhere, but um, I don't actively list on ebay or anywhere else anymore just because whatnot has just been so good to me. I always want to bring everything to my guys and, frankly, like my sourcing has been changed based off of whatnot. Like what I buy, how I buy it, the things that I look for are tailored now specifically to my audience. On whatnot, I know what I can and can't buy.
Speaker 3:I know what will do well, what won't do well, based off of the guys that I have come in, based off of the history of just trying different things Like I know I've kind of honed in on, and it is fun Like new. There's always new things that pop up Like, oh, I wonder if this will work. And it makes it fun because then I can try something new and see if it's going to work or not. But for the most part, um, the way that I source has changed dramatically over the past two years because you have to just kind of do trial and error to figure out what exactly your audience is looking for.
Speaker 1:So that's funny because, like every time I like I mean I'm still new, but every time I start a show like I say no den caddies, couple lefties, no broomsticks. You know this, that, because that's I don't have it. So I'm letting you know if you're in there, like because people are after specific things and the sourcing is. You know, inventory is hard as it is, you know it's so hard like you got to go out hunting. But um, yeah, I, I feel you on that 100%.
Speaker 3:Yeah for sure, yeah, it's man, inventory is tough, and especially by me, and you meant you. You said something that was interesting before, joe, that you kind of like envy this area as it relates to golfing. But yeah, this area is very tough when it comes to like sourcing for golf, because we don't just have tons of golf clubs everywhere, like some of the guys do in florida and california, like I swear yeah seeing what some of these guys find in florida.
Speaker 3:It's mind-boggling yeah, yeah, oh yeah to yard sales like that and find the stuff that they do, because florida is a hotbed. I've tried that so many times and I've just given up on going to a day's worth of yard sales because it's just a complete waste of my time but meanwhile these guys are finding scotty cameron's at yard sales every weekend.
Speaker 1:It's insane to me yeah, yeah yeah that shit blows my mind that shit blows my mind I'll.
Speaker 2:I'll see videos and posts of people walking through like Goodwills or secondhand stores and like they're like oh, I just you know, scored these 690 MBs here and get them for $5. A club Like who does that, like who gives away all these sick clubs for nothing, and then they just walk up on it, like you know. Oh, you know, this is cool. Check out what I found. I'm going to go down the street and find another set of these too. It blows my mind some of the gems that people can find in these secondhand stores and Goodwills and Salvation Armies and stuff it's nuts.
Speaker 3:I will say that if you do it enough, you're bound to find stuff. And that's the thing that I always tell guys. A lot of guys just think like, oh, I've never found anything at that thrift store before. And I'm like, well, how often have you gone to it? Well, I went like two or three times, and the two or three times I went I never found anything. Well, guys, you know how many times I've gone to the same thrift stores Like thousands of times. You have to keep going, because if you don't go, you don't know if you're going to find something, right? Yeah, and you just it. Just, it's such you have to kind of create your own luck with thrifting, Right, and you have to keep giving yourself the opportunities to find things, because you can't go once or twice and think you're never going to find anything at that store, because there's many times where I've strict struck out 10 times in a row at a store and then on the 11th you find something crazy.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:So you know, you just never know. It's really about volume, the amount of times you go, how often you go. After a certain amount of time you have to just do a cost-benefit to say like, oh, is it worth me going to this store so many times? But yeah, I mean, you're bound. If you do it enough, you are bound to find cool stuff. I mean I've found threety cameron polos thrifting in my lifetime which is crazy to think that somebody gave away scotty cameron polos but, but again, that's after going hundreds of times to thrift stores.
Speaker 3:I mean, I go on vacations with my wife and I'm looking up where the thrift stores are or wherever we are, because I'm just curious to go see what they have and what the prices are and that kind of stuff. We went on a vacation to San Francisco last year and I convinced her that it would be a good idea to go thrifting and we did a show from the house in San Francisco while we were on vacation selling golf shirts, and then I had to buy a second suitcase to take a second suitcase back home so I could ship it all when we got back. I mean, I'm a sicko, but this is the kind of stuff that you think about all the time when this is like you know what you do and what you're obsessed with. I love the hunt. The hunt is amazing to me. It's just so fun because you never know what you're going to find at any given time and a lot of the people that do what I do will tell you the same thing. Like the hunt is the best part. So dude.
Speaker 1:My whole mindset has changed since starting Like I do, I go to hit all the golf shops at least once a week. I there's a thrift store by my house. I go three times a week, just pop in real quick, nothing out. You know, it's like the hunt. The hunt is, you know, and giving some or finding something that somebody else will appreciate is awesome.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's so rewarding to me to have people that I can shop for. I love that. Like I know that I'm out there and if I it's, it's crazy to even think, because most of the people I've never met before, I've never seen their face, I know nothing about them, I just know a username and then I know that they like large foot choice Right. Yeah, like large foot choice right. And it's just really cool that I'm able to like curate stuff for that person and know what they like and know what I'm looking for. And you kind of have like a little bit of a mission. That's part of what you're doing. Like I have this mission to find things for certain people and it makes it really fun for me that I that I have like that purpose to you know, um yeah.
Speaker 3:To the sourcing right. It's like there's this extra purpose to the sourcing that I have like a list in my head of all of these different things that I'm specifically looking for. For certain people it makes it really fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, super cool. Anytime you see something Vegas, you tag me automatically and I'm like yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:Nowifty is is your, is your thrifting adventures? Are you mostly golf stuff, or is everything off the table like watches?
Speaker 3:yeah, anything no. So yeah, I kind of stopped because it's my my philosophy that if you can get really good at one thing, do that Nothing against, because there's lots of thrifters out there, there's lots of YouTubers that they just will thrift anything because they think that if you know some things are a good thing to find and a good thing to buy, then that's great and you're going to be profitable off of those items, that's a great thing.
Speaker 3:But for me, especially now, like my business, is golf specific and whatnot for me is golf specific. I don't have the time to be listing those other things elsewhere, so I really have to just stay in my lane and stay focused on really only the golf stuff that I know makes sense for my business model and for what I'm trying to do on whatnot. So I've kind of I used to do that where I'm like oh, I saw that, I saw somebody a hairy tornado find that on youtube. I know that thing is good and I can make money off of that. I've kind of had to stay away from that and what I do now is I look at that item and go, wow, that's a good item that somebody could make some money off of, and then I move on you know, just trying to keep myself from buying that thing.
Speaker 3:I know we'll go sit in a pile and I'll never end up listing. So.
Speaker 2:Gotcha.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's wild man. I am in the world now and it's. It's addictive also on both ends. Fuck, yes, it is. Dan is a newcomer to whatnot, right, and every time I go on whatnot I see him just in shows. Every time he's the ghost tree. He's the ghost tree from.
Speaker 2:I'm a buyer, yeah, I'm a buyer for sure, the last week to 10 days is just. I need a stat.
Speaker 3:It kind of is like I don't know, maybe this is me segwaying into a different topic it kind of, maybe, now that you guys, being on the buyer side, get this sense of I think that this is the future of shopping. It kind of and maybe now that you guys, being on the buyer side, get this sense of like I think that this is the future of shopping, right, like.
Speaker 1:I think that's what I wanted to get into 100%, yeah, yeah totally, I think.
Speaker 3:I think live shopping is the future. They've already there's already been, to certain degrees, proof of concept in Asia that this is huge. Right, like, live shopping is enormous in Asia. Yes, we've already seen it and I've kind of explained it to some people as, like we've already seen that it works because QVC was huge for so long People would call to the hosts and all this stuff. It's like very similar to what we're doing now. It's just I don't work for some like big company.
Speaker 3:I just am a guy in a garage doing it with my own stuff, um, but I think live shopping is totally the future. We're all on our phones anyway. We all are looking for something to entertain ourselves with. Everybody's buying stuff constantly. I don't want to tell you the number of amazon boxes that show up at my house every single day from my wife. And why not just buy those same things from somebody that you enjoy watching and enjoy, you know interacting with, and I think that's yeah what we've shown with. So many people have shown on whatnot, and especially in the golf category, like the guys love just buying the new thing or the, the, the extra putter for their collection or whatever it is. I just think the future in live shopping is is going to be massive. I think we're like in the infancy stage right now. It's just. This is just a small sliver of what it could potentially be in the future.
Speaker 1:So that's just my personal opinion of it yeah, I tell my wife all the time she works in retail. I'm like this, this, this is a thing I'm glad I started when I did. But you know, like this is happening, I mean, amazon does live prime shows selling speakers, you know, and it's yeah, if you can and that was another question I had for you actually, like you are related to the viewers, right, like you know me right, and it's like, oh, what I've hit in greens, how you living blah, blah, blah, whatever you know, and it's like you, we're all. You're yourself, right for the most part, but you're bringing people into your show. You're being yourself. You're not like putting on a phony front. You're not a.
Speaker 1:You don't work for entertainment tonight or something, or a hard copy if you will, we'll throw back um but it's like they're pushing stuff, exactly like when I watch influencers. You know I know that they're selling liquid IV because they got paid for it. You know you're selling stuff that you found for people and it's a different dynamic. You know they come to learn who you are and it's just different, which is so cool. And I agree with you 100% that it is the future of selling wholeheartedly.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, I will say, we do. I still have to be a good salesman. I will say like that's part of the whole. Thing. You know, I have to be to be successful, I have to be entertaining. I feel like everybody's. The people that are most successful on the app are the people that are the most entertaining, are the most interesting to watch they are also the best salesmen for the most part.
Speaker 3:Um so a certain degree. So to a certain degree, I have to be a good salesman. Whether or not you are a honest, good salesman or not, I think it's a different story which I feel like is important for people to understand that even if I have to be a salesman to sell the things that I have, that I'm being honest about it and I think that's really important to me with my audience what I'm yeah you know what I'm doing.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, yeah. So I agree with you. I will say, though, like you know, that you do have to be a salesman to some degree, because, otherwise you're not going to sell any of your stuff.
Speaker 1:So yeah, yeah, yeah, I like. I mean it's like I have a hard time lying already and I'm not going to lie to anybody. You know what I mean. You know, like if you want it, you want it, if you don't, it's all right, you know figure out another way.
Speaker 3:I try to like for the most part and I'm sure you do the same thing Like you want to source stuff that you can stand behind right, like if if there's in the rare instances that, like I make a mistake.
Speaker 3:Like I'm a volume seller so I sell lots of stuff every week. There's times stuff slipped through the cracks and I know that everybody knows that nobody's perfect. If it slipped through the cracks, you just tell me and I'll fix it, because customer service is important to me yeah, sure, if you got those gold wings, bro thrifty got gold wings.
Speaker 1:So yeah, man, are you guys got anything else? I think we it's super late for uh thrifty over here. Uh, like we said, we're in vegas, um thrifty's in maryland, and uh we can go through that time yeah yeah I'll work in the garage a little bit longer probably still, but yes, you can turn that fan on.
Speaker 1:Finally, right, thank god, I'm dying. All right, bro. Well, you can take off. We, I appreciate you. I like I said I watched what not for a year okay, I never commented or through any chats out there and I watched a lot of people before I even jumped on the app and, uh, you are one of my favorites. Um, I appreciate. So, I appreciate what you find and I appreciate what you bring to the table. Uh, whatnot is awesome and uh, yeah, the community is fantastic. So, uh, thank you, bro, I'll be out there in september, something like that. Oh, yeah, let me know, we'll some golf get you out of the garage. Let's play some golf.
Speaker 3:I'm available September.
Speaker 1:Lots of birthdays here in.
Speaker 3:September. But if I'm available, you got me.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, bro. Well, I appreciate you, man. Thanks for jumping on man Totally.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thanks, yeah, thank you, Thrifty.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 4:Take care, have a good one.
Speaker 1:Thanks guys, we'll jump into the whole Fleetwood Keegan thing. What do you guys think about that? Choker, choker. I really wanted to see Fleetwood win. You know I've been rooting for him for a long time, but yeah, but it's also too good to not have a win yet it's cool to see keegan win, though, too. And now that, oh yeah, yeah, the playing captain thing jumps in. You know what I mean? It's also at beth, page black. I played there, I guess.
Speaker 2:No, you've played there oh, no shit, joe, really yeah, yeah, I slept in the parking lot, yeah he must have. He must have told us, because I figured he would have told me something like that I must have forgot sorry anyway, it was tough to watch.
Speaker 4:But I will say the duels thing that they came out with the other day, I think yesterday. It was like the live duels little youtube or tv thing whatever, where they have five tour pro, five live pros and then, uh, five content creators oh yeah, that was actually really good to watch. That was. That was good. It was pretty intense at the end, so I would recommend it. But I just think that that direction where you'll have to watch I don't know if you watched the first duels it felt like a live program right.
Speaker 1:I did, I think I did yeah.
Speaker 4:It looked like an extension of live, but this was on Brian Brough's channel. It looked like just another Brian live. But this was like on brian bros channel. It looked like just another brian bros video, and I really think that that is the way to get people to back to watching. If the tour could figure out a way to do it. So it feels like a course vlog, less, less of like a presentation with the ads and the you know, commentators are fine, but it's it's so much more engaging when you're down on the course and you're like, oh yeah, absolutely right next to these guys. There's got to be a way to mix those two, because even watching the, the travelers, it's just I don't know. I have a hard time getting into it if it's not a major, even if it's an elevated event I've noticed that recently too like it's hard time getting into it if it's not a major even if it's an elevated event.
Speaker 1:I've noticed that recently too, Like it's hard to get into things if it's not a major lately, you know, or if I don't have a bet on it you know, what I mean and I I still.
Speaker 1:I saw that post I don't know if you guys saw it like last week or two weeks ago, where it's like I think matt reposted it shout out dad, um. Where it's like this is what you need to do to bring in people. You need to change the course roto, which we've been saying for a long time, and change it up. I don't know if it's like getting stale because they split and it's stale now, or, but I'm full supporter of them changing things up. You know like, let's see them at fucking the loop. Let's see him at fucking arcadia bluffs. Let's see them at never play these courses, white horse. I've played white horse.
Speaker 1:Let's see him at chambers bay fuck it. You know there's a lot of shit, a lot of heat. That happened because of gary player at chambers bay. Let's see miss salish fuck it. You know like, yeah, who cares if they're 50 yards out from Bay? Let's see Miss Salish, fuck it. Who cares if they're 50 yards out from the green? Let's see some new shit. That's the way that golf has changed. We don't need to see the same golf courses from the past 30 years.
Speaker 2:Throw it out there.
Speaker 4:Something will change. But I just feel like that's why I mean, most of the people that maybe were watching the tour are just, maybe it's the same thing and they they see the value in what these content creators are doing. I mean, I never was into it like a couple years ago. I never watched youtube. I couldn't stand what you know. Good, good and all that stuff. But they have stepped up their game significantly, like in the last year. The production quality is incredible, yeah, and some of the guys do it themselves, and they're just crushing it.
Speaker 1:It's it's awesome, yeah, and they're on the grounds at courses you haven't played like when I, when I'm gonna go play a golf course, I've never played like. I look up on youtube. Uh, land man, if you will and I'll like, I'll click on the one with the most views, with the best looking. Uh, whatever clickbait or whatever, if you want to call it that, and I'll watch it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the thumbnail. Yeah, I'll watch that because I'm going there and I want to look at the course and I don't know they got to change something up, I think it.
Speaker 4:I mean, it's also probably like how our attention spans have evolved over time as well 100 instant. I mean golf. You have to commit hours if you want to watch a golf tournament, but youtube you can watch 10 minutes. You can watch an hour or two hours if you want, but it's instant, like it's there. Yeah, you get your instant feed of whatever it is, but it is a commitment to watch the tour you get your rolex commercial you get your uh primerica commercial.
Speaker 1:You know, yeah, I think youtube's instantaneous. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, it's very interesting. But um, what do you guys think about? Do you think, uh, tommy's putt hit a divot or something? Ball mark, because that thing jumped.
Speaker 2:It's not. You could see it kick offline for sure. But also, too, like you know, don't leave yourself an-footer for par or whatever the hell. It was yeah, true, you know, yeah, should have hit the nine. I know it should have, could have, would have, but the win was India. I'm sure he was probably feeling amped up, but, you know, just hit the nine. He had it in his hands, went back, switched to the pitching wedge came up short and three wiggled from there.
Speaker 1:So it sucks but yeah, you know, yeah, I gotta make one eventually. Yeah, do you think? Do you think, uh, keegan plays during writer cup?
Speaker 2:yeah, I mean I don't know, man, it's, it's, he's almost there. I mean he's in the he's, where's he at right now in the nine nine spot, he's like eight. He's eight or nine, so technically he can pick himself, but I think that if the Ryder Cup committee, or whoever the hell it is, in charge of making captains and co-captains, I think that they might want to think about finding another captain and having him play. Oh really, yeah.
Speaker 2:Another captain I don't know, yeah, I mean I don't know if there is a player captain option, I'm sure there is. I wouldn't say why there wouldn't be, but if he's going to be, he's been playing pretty well lately and if he can continue this momentum, why give him the duties of being a captain and a player? Just have somebody captain and let him focus on playing and kicking ass in the right ago well, that's the clip.
Speaker 1:That's what I think but, that's the clip I saw, like I mean he could be a playing captain. I mean he's got jim furek, he's got kevin kisner, co-captains uh, I don't know if there's someone else um, but everybody was saying like we want you, you to, you know, go play. So I, it's such a, it's such a big one too, and you know, keegan loves Ryder cup and it's at Beth page which I've played, that it's. It's big for him, you know, and I'm curious to see if he plays because it's so important. Keegan's a huge Ryder cup fan, right, like he wants to win, and I'm curious if he he'll throw himself out there to play and trust his co-captains to captain for him. I don't think they're switching the captain. Like Keegan's the captain Jim Burke and Kisner can do it Right, but I'm, I'm really curious.
Speaker 2:Well, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1:But if Keegan wins again if. Keegan wins again.
Speaker 2:We'll see where it's going. I mean you would have to. You would have to consider giving up the captaincy if he wins again. Can they do that? I don't know, it's just me, it's just me. Maybe I'm off on that, maybe he can be a player captain and that's not going to be an issue at all.
Speaker 1:Well, you got Jim Furyk. Back there too, Maybe Jim Furyk? Well, you got Furyk.
Speaker 2:You got Tiger Tiger can be a fucking captain Kiz.
Speaker 1:Tiger. Tiger can be a fucking captain.
Speaker 2:Kiz, tiger's not doing it. Freddie back in there. I mean, why wouldn't Tiger do?
Speaker 1:it Calvin Pete, calvin Pete. Calvin Pete's not alive.
Speaker 2:Calvin Pete, he's dead. Yeah, I know. No, I think he's dead.
Speaker 1:The ghost of Calvin.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I mean, like I said, if Keegan keeps winning, you have to consider.
Speaker 1:He's going to have to play. If he's top six, he's got to play. Yeah, we'll see what happens there. I don't know. It's interesting though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll see, see what happens.
Speaker 1:Do you guys have anything else before we go through Vegas Golf Network and TPC Las Vegas?
Speaker 4:I don't think so Nothing else Ed.
Speaker 1:All right. Well, yeah, we had the VGN tournament at TPC Las Vegas this past weekend. It was a great day. Woke up, a little breezy, a little brisk, 70 degrees it was a nice day, fantastic. I highly recommend Vegas Golf in 70 degree weather. Of course. The man himself, daniel Hodges, won the top of the game Unstoppable In a playoff against Mike Visagas. How'd that playoff go?
Speaker 2:It went good. We played two holes. We both played 18. First hole he pipes it. I kind of scored one to the right side, put my second shot in the bunker and was able to get up and down for par. Mike just missed the green and he got up and down for par. So we ran it back on 18, both both hit it down the middle on. On Mike's second shot he pulled it a hair and it just fell off the green and kind of rolled into the rocks and went into the water. So after his drop and you know, he almost he almost got up and down, which was crazy. He had like a. He had like a, I think, like about a 35-foot par putt after the drop and he almost cashed it. He just missed the lip.
Speaker 1:And yeah, so that just left me two putt to win and was able to do it. Yeah, I was really hoping for a live feed in the clubhouse, with the jelly beans that were laid across the table, if you will.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that would be nice. But yeah, I didn't know. Juju was out there reffing. But Ethan Ibarra won the Spades flight. He is a newcomer, I believe this year he's also a Whatn notter, so go check out. Uh, rivalry rips on whatnot. Uh, I played decently, if you will. I had a lot of bogeys, had a lot of birdies, but uh, just gonna make it happen. Uh, hearts flight was rich red drop. Uh, the homie shout out, the homie drop. Um, he won his flight flight. And then in the club's division it was Derek Long, everybody taking away a major. I did win a skin, so I'm happy about that. I'm basically even on the week. I love to see it, if you will. You know what I mean. Oh yeah, cpc Las Vegas is in fantastic shape. It was great. Greens were, according to the board, running at a 10. But yeah, it was in great shape.
Speaker 1:I haven't been there in years like four years probably, and it was really good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was in good shape. The greens were a little slow in the morning because they were a little moist, but once they, uh, once that, once they were on the back nine, they started. They started getting a little bit slicker yeah, yeah, of course, in good shape.
Speaker 4:It's such a fun place to play yeah, it really is.
Speaker 1:It's a good layout. I like it. The uh, what is that? 10, 11, 12 13 the one where it's your. The t-box is here and the the fairway just crosses. Oh yeah, that thing, that that hole, will always break my brain. You always got to think there.
Speaker 4:I love that hole, but was the t down below, so you're hitting up to the fairway um, no, no, no, it was pretty, even it was flat, okay, okay was your tea behind the 13 green?
Speaker 1:or 12, yeah, yeah, yeah, right yeah okay yeah that's
Speaker 2:like you're literally going across the canyon.

Speaker 2:Don't forget, you guys gotta FaceTime me when you get in that shop. Oh, we will, I got you yeah.
Speaker 4:I need to see what I can buy. Joe's doing a live. Whatnot show Shadow.
Speaker 1:That would be sick, I might have to do it, I don't know.
Speaker 4:I popped on earlier yeah. Didn't someone do a?
Speaker 1:live. Didn't someone do a live from the U S?
Speaker 2:open. Yeah, they did live in the U S open merge tent yeah.
Speaker 1:I just I I mean, I just don't think a lot of people know what shadow Creek is. That's, that's the hard part. Yeah, a few guys. Uh, kevin birdie in a can. I calmed down on that one. He said a few guys did it. A few guys definitely did do it, live on whatnot from the US Open merch tent. I'm kind of scared to do it but I'm definitely going to buy some things for the show because Shadow Creek is so special. But I'm definitely going to buy some things for the show because Shadow Creek is so special. I've walked the grounds for the LPGA tournament and I'm so stoked. Dan and Matt have played there. Me and Jeremy we have not played there. It's going to be our first time. The back lights I'm so stoked to pop that, jerry.
Speaker 2:That's the sick part, though that's what I'm jealous of the most is that you guys are doing it under the fucking lights, like I, you know I played it under the big light, sun and shit like that.
Speaker 1:But yeah, that's gonna be sick because, no, I wish you guys were there not too many people get that.
Speaker 2:Not too many people get that opportunity you know, it just started, uh, two months ago two months ago. Yeah, tiger and phil, I think, were the last ones to play in the lights, right? Yeah, they played it, yeah they played the 19th hole.
Speaker 1:They played the 19th hole oh, that's right, yeah, a little the uh from the patio to the green yeah, yeah, rob joe would get kicked out of shadow creek and miss an opportunity to play. No, it's not happening. I'm playing. Limo's picking us up. We're playing. I'm shooting 45 under. It's gonna be sick don't worry about it.
Speaker 2:Can I? Can I pay a card fee and ride and watch you guys?
Speaker 1:please do that's the thing that bums me out like I wish you guys were there, because uh it's gonna be cool. There's so many incredible holes out there and I've seen them. I'm so stoked to play them. Four, sick, of course.
Speaker 2:Nine the whole course is sick. You guys are going to fucking love it. I know the whole course is sick.
Speaker 1:I can't wait, dude. I can't wait, it'll be your number one course.
Speaker 2:It'll be your number one course. You played.
Speaker 1:I bet you'll like it better than Beth Page. We'll see. I don't know who knows. I've seen it before, though.
Speaker 2:I don't know though.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't say that Beth Page is my number one.
Speaker 2:What's your number one then? You see I. What's your number one then?
Speaker 1:well, you see no, you see, like I I I calculate on my number, ones are calculated on the fact that you could play it every day. You don't think you can play?
Speaker 1:black every day no, I couldn't walk that course every day. You gotta walk there. Can't walk that every day. Come on, bro, I think, like if I mean if you know me, like if I was a member anywhere, right, like you got carts. I mean, yeah, it might be my number one architecturally, but like I could play southern pines every day in a cart. You play tobacco road every day in a car. I could play true blue every day in a cart. So it's uh, it's. There's so many aspects to picking your number one. You know what I mean like chambers was great.
Speaker 1:but like walking that fucking course is tough and jeremy going to go play the home course most likely, which is going to be sick, or he's taking the drive to Salish. It's one of those two for sure.
Speaker 2:I could play Salish every day too Salish is fucking sick, Especially now after the bunker renovation. I bet you it's even better than when we played it. I bet you yeah.
Speaker 4:What did you guys pay to play there? Do you remember? 110 maybe like 115, yeah, 115 125, some shit like that. Yeah, it's like 150 dude.
Speaker 2:Uh, it's um are you guys staying in seattle, seattle?
Speaker 4:yeah, we are, but but we're open to like. I know that they have the resort there next to Salish. Yeah, the casino, it is a drive-in. Yeah, it's an hour and a half from Seattle, but the home course is right next to Chambers Bay, I think. Yep, it's right there.
Speaker 1:I think I would say we need reports from the home course because that's the home right, would say we need reports from the home course because that's the home right. I think we need reports from the home course. That place looks awesome. It looks sick as fuck. It's. It's like right above chambers, but I also would love for you to play chambers too maybe I'll go play early morning atbers and then a home course in the afternoon.
Speaker 1:Yes, I mean, your favorite golfer in the entire world won a US Open at Chambers Bay. That's true. That's true, that's very true. I mean, what better time? It's a no-brainer, it's a tough walk. Chambers is a tough walk. Yeah, it's a brutal walk. Dude, did you guys use a cart or did you?
Speaker 4:just carry. There's no way you can do a cart right. I mean a push cart.
Speaker 2:Push cart would be awful, I would carry.
Speaker 1:I don't remember if there was push carts or not. I don't think there's not free ones.
Speaker 4:I don't think I would want a push cart. Anyway, pushing it up those hills Was I don't think I would want a push card anyway pushing it up those hills Was there caddies there, joe.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's caddies. You can get a caddy, jeremy. You can get a caddy. There's caddies out there. I just watched the golfer's journal thing about a caddy that witnessed two hole-in-ones from the same day from the same player, and he also saw someone hole out for eagle on what is it? 14 with that?
Speaker 4:bunkers on the left the big one on the side of the mountain that goes on the side of the hill. Yeah, it's like, it's like bunkers.
Speaker 1:I watched a little video on that, yeah, you remember that bunker on 18? I was like, oh yeah it's like it's called like the devil's dick or devil's anus, is that the one in? The fairway, or by the green it's in the fair, by the green it's in the fairway, the middle it's in the fairway yeah, and it's like you could reach it right.
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah, yeah yeah, wow that I think you don't want to go in there or something.
Speaker 1:I think you should just go play that you should go, play that I.
Speaker 3:Should I think it makes sense for you because you're a huge.
Speaker 1:you're a huge jordan speed fam and and that's where he won the open and Gary player was talking shit about broccoli. And these greens are trash and yeah, they're not fantastic greens, but it's pretty fucking cool.
Speaker 4:I'm sure they're nice right now. That was a different situation. Yeah, when you go play, when you go play.
Speaker 2:What hole is that?
Speaker 4:Joe, 17, 17, 16 with the train the lone the lone pine, the par four or the par three, the par three down the hill or the par four along the tracks the par four along the tracks 18, 17, 6, 15 is the par three into the tree, yeah, 16 is the 16 is the one along the train track oh, yeah, yeah, 17, you got a part 3 and
Speaker 2:then 18 you got the devil's, the devil's anus yeah, it's pretty sick, the devil's asshole the devil's dirty star, the devil's jelly bean.
Speaker 1:wow, it says the devil's jelly bean, wow.
