E6 | Only Seven Good Rounds From Becoming a Pro...

Episode 6 of the GrinnaGolfCast is a Q School special, with FOTP (friends of the pod) Lachie Aylen and Lachy Barker joining on the eve of the qualifying quest.

The boys break down what’s ahead, what Hunty can expect at Moonah Links, and how he’ll need to level up to progress — with insight from both sides of the ropes.

There’s also a gift exchange, a Papua New Guinea flavour and a clear sense that things are about to get serious.

Fast. Loose. Ready golf.

Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:08

Was the night? The fuck you still as quiet as a mouse. No, no, no, that's not me. No, it is you. Keep going. I'm excited. I am. People think I'll be stressed tonight. I'm not. I've done the hard yards. I put my name out there, said I'd qualify. Ah, scraped in.

SPEAKER_02 0:28

And now we're here. Yeah, we are. Tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning. You've pulled it, you've pulled me in outside of the normal cadence of the record to do a show the night before Q School. A little Q School special.

SPEAKER_01 0:41

Yeah, special edition episode. We're going a bit quicker. We've got two key members, so we'll get onto that. We will get onto the excitement later, I think. But well, you're pretty excited. It was the night before Q School. I'm ready. Hots are rolling, wedges are spinning.

SPEAKER_02 0:57

Yeah. What sort of wedge you got over there at Moona? 60 degrees.

SPEAKER_01 1:02

I've got two, three in my bag right now. I've got options. My old 60, which has been a trusty, but our our guest on the right, who I'll introduce soon, told me at Moonalinks on a practice round the other night that what are you doing? You got no grooves. So I want the grooves. I've been searching long and hard for some grooves. And I found some. Our guest on the left, who has produced some some form of grooves. However, the degrees are too off. It's a 58 degree, looking good wedge. He's bent it, but I don't believe in that. Bryson DeShambeau doesn't bend his wedges. I'm not doing that. I'm gonna deliver a nice little fresh. It's not here tonight. It is at home getting polished up at the moment. Nice little 60 degree LM something wedge, Vokey wedge. The best of the best. L grind, whatever. MC Hammer grind. We're into it now, aren't we?

SPEAKER_02 1:52

What the fuck are you talking about? Seriously. What the fuck was that? I'm not changing this age. It's got to be one of the shittiest intros I've ever heard by.

SPEAKER_01 2:05

But the game's looking good, the mentals are strong, the putts are just gonna flush in. And still, I'm gonna hit one bad shot. It's gonna ruin everything. I can see it happening. You took yourself into it now. Doesn't matter if I come dead last. I'm there to have fun, I'm there to annoy some people. These two have told me I wouldn't want to be paired with you because you're a bit special, old Jaden. Um anyway, let's introduce our guests.

SPEAKER_02 2:28

Well, quickly, welcome to episode six of the Getter Goldcast. Special edition night before Q School special. Absolutely. Brought to you by Golf Loot. Trip to the Masters. Cause you trip. Of course, of course. And the Bushnell Rangefinder. Bushnell Rangefinder. And the year's supply of balls. There's two of T's, there's everything. Yeah, got it all. They have at all at Golf Loot. Yep, and all Golf Loot. You got well, sorry, we don't know who I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_01 2:51

But bring him in to my oldest friend of the two. Known him a little bit longer.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

Lifelong friend, like Adam Tomlinson.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

He's not a lifelong friend. He's an interesting cat, this guy. He's shot a sub 60 at Rosebud. He is an icon down the peninsula. However, the mental game is weak.

unknown 3:13

He keeps butchering it.

SPEAKER_01 3:15

He's a friend of the pod. We've mentioned him before. He luckily called in the other day. You like to call him as Loughlin Alien, but it's Lochlan Allen. Welcome. Thanks, Styx.

SPEAKER_03 3:24

Thanks for having me, Hunty.

SPEAKER_02 3:28

I can tell you precisely, just almost four minutes in. You're finally getting your first word out. I'm getting called by someone who just called it an MC Hammer Wedge.

SPEAKER_04 3:38

That was fucked out. Yeah, thanks for having me, guys. Looking forward to it. Why are you called Sticks? Because I'm extremely skinny. It's very uh self-explanatory. It actually was Stick, like all my my actual mates, not saying oh, I mean golf mate.

SPEAKER_03 3:54

Golf mate.

SPEAKER_04 3:55

All my real mates uh just called me Stick. Yeah. Um and then I met Tomo Adam Thomas Tomlinson probably maybe four or five years ago, and he started he stuffed it up and called me Stick, so um it's just sort of stuck now. I'm sort of half half. All my mates originally, original mates called me Sticks as a piss-up. Yeah. Um when it making fun of me, and then all you guys call me Sticks anyway, so I don't know. It's either or okay. Well, thanks.

SPEAKER_01 4:20

Was it true that the Owen Wilson um Netflix series was named after you? Yes, correct. That's about you. It's a biography. Yeah, well, it is about a happy ending, so it is it's about a pro mentally losing it, so maybe it is, it all works out well for him, so I hope.

SPEAKER_03 4:38

Oh, I hope it does. I hope there are, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:41

And what are you with me in the morning? Not the same group, I don't think, but I haven't even looked at the tea times or the tea sheet. But I am there. What have you been doing then, mate?

SPEAKER_02 4:50

It's the night before. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_01 4:51

I've been twiddling thee, twiddling no, mate.

SPEAKER_02 4:55

Um with the ruffle puffle. Oh, no, the ruffle scuffle.

SPEAKER_04 4:59

We did some research on the podcast and did uh hear that episode. We call it ruffle. Ruffle scuffle. Ruffle scuffle? Yes. I don't think we're ruffle scuffling. Yep, correct.

SPEAKER_01 5:11

And we played us three. We'll get into Lockie Barker now.

SPEAKER_02 5:14

Well we will, and I'm gonna let Sticks introduce him because I like it. Yeah, Sticks, did do the honour, please. I don't know. Now can you please do it like he's about to step onto the first T.

SPEAKER_04 5:22

Onto the first T. Okay. Once again, this is an icon of the uh Australian tour. You gotta say it in their real voice. He I don't know, he's a very understated man. We'll say some of the weirdest things you ever heard. The smartest, the probably the dumbest smart person I'm gonna say that I've ever met in my life. But he's a PGA Tour of Australasia winner. Oh, wow. Uh, a couple years ago, and he's in the top 20 on the current order of merit, the Australian tour this year. So he's he's taking a lot of boxes. He went to college for five years. So if you talk to him for within the first five minutes, he will tell you that. Um bit went down at college, did it? Yeah, I think so. I mean, yes, and probably the fattest eyebrows I've ever seen in my entire life.

SPEAKER_03 6:09

Not the mustache, not that you're the thickest mustache there is.

SPEAKER_04 6:12

He's got a ringer mustache as well, according to AI. But uh, yeah, seriously good golfer, decent play.

SPEAKER_02 6:21

You did go longer than me. The waffler.

SPEAKER_03 6:29

It's Lachlan Barker.

SPEAKER_02 6:32

We got his name. Well done. Well, Lochland Barker and Sticks. Yeah, it's a pleasure to have you on. Floor is yours, Bach.

SPEAKER_00 6:39

Welcome. Happy to be here. I've just met Jaden a few weeks ago and um I've had a lot to do with him since because he uh likes to latch on and talk golf, which is a big testament to his commitment to this little run at Q School. So I'm really excited to see how he goes.

SPEAKER_02 6:57

W if I if I asked you five weeks ago, did you think it'd get to tomorrow morning?

SPEAKER_00 7:04

No, it would have been about when I met you. Yeah. Over in Live Adelaide. What was your handicap back then? Is that where you were? Five point six at Live Adelaide. We met at Live, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:11

Well, I was over there and then uh Alien over here set us up via text message, said you should play Kuyonga where such an out-of-word experience where Barks plays. Yeah, get I got the UFO over there. Um but basically joined him at Cuyonga with a fellow Q-school um player. Oh, two.

SPEAKER_00 7:29

Yeah, you've been sussing out Frank competition on the sly. Yeah, Frank Vuc. Yeah, Frank Vucic and Jack Tanner. Yeah, they'll join us.

SPEAKER_01 7:37

Well, actually, yeah, no one answers my phone footy calls. Yeah. I think I think I don't know, I fast these two. I think I have a few golfing friends on the PGA tour. Well, maybe maybe them getting out there, mate. Maybe they'll answer my phone calls.

SPEAKER_02 7:50

Well, maybe doing a podcast and being uh doing Media Street does work. And people start to take note, Jad.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

Hunty the golfer. Yeah, well that's why I said big dogs in town.

SPEAKER_01 8:01

I met a met a family the other day, and they said, Oh, we don't really associate with football players. And I said, I'm a golfer. So I've got rid of that tag and it's gone very well. What happened? What did they say after that? They said What family said we don't associate with Welcome, what's the course record? Let's fucking get it on the show.

SPEAKER_03 8:25

Was that the state a weird introduction?

SPEAKER_02 8:28

This whole show's been a weird introduction. Um Bucks, uh one time Australasian PGA champion champion. That's big.

SPEAKER_00 8:38

Yeah, one an event on the Aussie Tour. One event on the Aussie. What was that? Yeah. That was the Papua New Guinea Open a couple of years. Oh that's bloody good international, you know.

SPEAKER_02 8:48

Now can you speak into the microphone a little bit more directly? Because I want to I want to hear all about it. I'll tell you what. What is playing golf in Papua New Guinea like?

SPEAKER_00 8:56

It's an out-of-body experience. You've got to be ready for anything. Think of your uh local municipal track. It's a couple of levels below that, but it takes a lot of talent to get it done out there, let me tell you. What's the um what's the course? It's Royal Port Moresby Golf Club up in Papua New Guinea. Most people go there. They're reciprocal at Royal Melbourne. They do not. I asked the question, they don't get it. But um most people go there to walk Kakoda track, not play golf. Gaf. Gof, not play golf. But um I'm looking this up on the fly, so keep going. It's a real tight course, pretty long, and the greens are rolled weeds. Yeah, love a tight course.

SPEAKER_02 9:37

Oh mate, it looks pretty good. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_00 9:40

Yeah, it probably looks good on uh on TV and on Google images.

SPEAKER_02 9:45

The four they're picking the best, are they?

SPEAKER_00 9:48

But um it's uh they do a good job with what they got there, and the the club gets into it. We're really happy to have a tournament there. Yep. And I was lucky enough to win it a couple of years ago, and that did wonders for my career, and still going at it.

SPEAKER_02 10:01

So Royal Port so Papua New Guinea was a launching pad for your career. Yep. Yeah, spot on. Fair income. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 10:08

How good's that? Papua New Guinea on the Australian tour now. And has been there for 20, 30 years. Yeah. How good's that? Who with some other big name winners? He made a cut. That's it.

SPEAKER_04 10:18

I've done it. One of my few cuts. I didn't make it this year. We stayed together, it was great. We did stay together. He left the door after being out at 2 a.m. wide open in the middle of Port More. We had to get his flight at five in the morning. It was great.

SPEAKER_01 10:32

This is what's just been ruffling my brain. My chromosomes are wild in the wind right now. I got brought up as a footy player, or brought up for the last 12 years. And I look at me, I'm on the Coke Zeros, I'm zoning in. But you golfers are a different breed. You drink before games and rounds, and you drink fucking during the round. I reckon you do. But you just perform well. It's a different spectrum of outfit, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 11:00

Give it a couple of years. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:02

Give it a couple of years.

SPEAKER_04 11:02

Isn't it stressful? Is it stressful? Your brain now is chaotic. Just wait till I reckon one round of Q school, you'll be I'm hoping it's only alcohol.

SPEAKER_03 11:12

Look, look, take your hat off. Hey, yeah. I had a hair. So he lost he lost his hair young and it was golf. I lost my hair two months ago.

SPEAKER_00 11:21

Do you have hair under there? Yeah, just that's yeah. Give us a look. No, it's a bit rough at the moment. We've got the ball. Look at that. That's a real path in New Guinea cat. But uh, yeah, I'm trying to hang on to it because uh when it starts to go, it goes.

SPEAKER_01 11:34

So is it a stressful profession? I've heard it all.

SPEAKER_02 11:36

Let me just tell you, if Hunty lost his hair after one one one year at Q school, that'd be so funny.

SPEAKER_03 11:44

Is it stressful?

SPEAKER_01 11:45

Yeah, there's a lot. There's plenty to be had here.

SPEAKER_02 11:48

I think that the goal trip to Turkey is safe for a while. Are you going to Turkey soon? I don't have enough money.

SPEAKER_01 11:54

I would, but you know. You know who is going? Friend of the pod, Jack Rudder. Ding ding.

SPEAKER_02 12:00

Is he doing turkey? Is he flying over there?

SPEAKER_01 12:01

Hey, I didn't know this. Yeah, he's got a job with Cafe Pacific. He's asking to get the flight route over there. And it's included in the package, apparently. Not there.

SPEAKER_02 12:11

Am I slightly off off the beaten track here, but I'm am I right in saying that we found out about his quest to regrow his hair from just a phone call when we were driving home from a round of golf ones? And we're sitting in the back of the car. And was it his mum who rang? Yeah. He said, Did you get Granny left you some money for the Ashley and Martin? Sorry, it was Ashley and Martin.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

It was on the way back from the Nash on the Peninsula link where my um car still is.

SPEAKER_03 12:48

You saw your car, but the super rhythm license plates are still there. On the way to the podcast. Tires haven't been slapped.

SPEAKER_01 12:54

No, it's still all there. Great. Well, I will I will sort that out in the morning. Well, but you uh No, you won't, mate. You run it on the mid tea time. I'll get up to I'll get up to four at four or something. I don't mind about that.

SPEAKER_02 13:07

Alright, Q sch Q school, the like what actually happens tomorrow? Like imagine I'm Jaden Hunt and I walk in. What do I expect sticks?

SPEAKER_04 13:17

I think a a lot of awkward silence with most of the the guys. It's pretty nerve-wracking. It's sort of like a I guess it's like a job. Like most golf tournaments, it's more intensity, but I guess for uh a lot of thinning hairs, but I I would say it's a bit more quiet intensity and uh nerves tomorrow, possibly. So yeah, I don't know. Not many people talking to each other. Probably a tournament that'll be a bit more friendly. I reckon Q school's a bit more. There's a lot of dudes that don't sort of know each other, and everyone's filling their pants sort of before there. A lot of people will be amateurs going into things that have never done it before, so they don't know what to expect.

SPEAKER_01 13:53

So well, that's my question. I've been asking both of you recently. Because there's these new rules, uh not new rules, but tournament rules. So one that I had no idea about. I'm very gimme's. Yeah, no gimme's, yeah, yeah. That's why Adam Tomlinson didn't play. Um no old Adam Tomlinson. Yeah. Um but one I had no idea about, which doesn't count in the club competition, is you've got to use the same make and model of golf ball throughout your entire round. You can change overnight, I believe. Yeah. But during the round, I had no idea. I would have been using Bridgestones, Taylor Maids, Pro V's, everything. No. I'm very glad you told me about that. Is that a pro rule?

SPEAKER_04 14:35

It's probably been a rule for the entirety of golf. Yeah, the one ball rule.

SPEAKER_01 14:39

It's because it's like if you're what was the original ball then? It was a feather. Did it have to be the same bird? Right.

SPEAKER_02 14:46

You can't use a pigeon. Can you change a dog? You can't use a pigeon. Can you change colour? Yeah, you can. So if it if it's the if it's the you know Pro B one or something, you can change from a white Pro B one to a yellow one. Correct. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 14:59

But it's more so into the wind, and it's like a hurricane into the wind, you might maybe go to like a low spin user board. Yeah, to keep it under the window. And then if they're downwind, they'd swap, you'd swap. You could use it till you advance.

SPEAKER_01 15:11

Can you go? If you could change it. So I've I'm fully trying to bryson my gang. Yeah. So I've added a few, I've got the um the bomb, the double bomb drive, as you guys saw. The twin. Yeah, the twins. Um and then I've got the aragato gazeamas swing into the wind, which is just tempo aragato gaziamas. Yeah. It's beautiful tempo. I've got all of that ready to go in the morning. And if you're close enough to me on the T, I don't I don't say the big bomb, but I do use Aragato Gaziamas just like any L.

SPEAKER_02 15:45

Like, it's such a hard word to try and squeeze into a nice red dot.

SPEAKER_04 15:49

No, people will be far enough away that won't really understand what you're saying. You reckon's my sequel.

SPEAKER_00 15:55

If I was caddy and four every arogato every hole.

SPEAKER_02 15:59

You love the aragato sequence. You've got you've got to finish with a little huh afterwards. You can't do it that way. You gotta bow it up. You gotta bow to the ball.

SPEAKER_01 16:04

So the thing is, what I do to make it flow, I go arogato on the backswing, and then I just go hit the ball, and in the follow-through, I go gazelle. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 16:14

It's beautiful. I'm feeling some good energy tonight. Tomorrow when you walk onto Moonalinx.

SPEAKER_01 16:20

I'm hitting.

SPEAKER_02 16:21

Can you walk up to the range of the first T and can you do a nice little Jack and style bow and say Adagot? Hadaki's caddy. Hadaki's caddy did that. Can you do it on the first T. I will be. That will really fuck. And mark my words. We scoped out the whole thing. Dix has put his hands in his he's nervous, maybe.

SPEAKER_01 16:39

And by the way, we played there the other day. You don't need to bomb the driver on one. All you have to do is just go over the hill. So I will mark my words tomorrow morning. I will be talking in my swing. Is that allowed? Am I allowed to talk in my own swing?

SPEAKER_00 16:52

You can't talk in other people's, you can talk in your own.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

We'll get there. First T tomorrow morning, I'll just send a nice flowing Ala Gatogas AMUS out there.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

Because you don't want to go too hard at Moon or 1 open. No, you don't. You're in the bush.

SPEAKER_04 17:04

I think if he goes too soft and he just like doesn't quite get it and it just goes into the bunker. Or doesn't it over the Japanese swear words?

SPEAKER_02 17:13

He doesn't get it over the little ridge on the first. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, or not. Straight to prison. See, we're all feeling Zen. I love it. Yeah. I like it. Okay, so he walks into Moonart. He is there.

SPEAKER_01 17:28

And what are the golf balls on the range, by the way? They should be pro-titless. Yeah, pro-left dash? No. No left ashes.

SPEAKER_00 17:36

Probi Pro V1X.

SPEAKER_01 17:37

Well, I've got that. So that's what that was my question. We got sidetracked. I'm brysoning the game because I don't have the touch of you guys. Sorry, not the touch. I don't have the irons. My biggest kryptonite is the pitching wedge, the 9-iron, and my eight-iron. I pull everything left, so look forward to that one tomorrow. Crowd, if there's any people there, do not go long left on any wedge holes. Sorry, any pitching wedge. So any 130 to 150 meter flat, no wind, no hill holes, don't go long left because that's where I'm going. I feel like you'd want them there, and then they'd like to bounce off. I don't like those clubs. No, no. I don't like those clubs. They are the enemy. Pitching wedge nine and eight are my enemy. Yeah. They're the Voldemorts of my bag. I don't even speak to them. They're getting a they're they're in the dog house and I'll put them in the kennel. The dog I don't have. So I got told by a few national members. He's actually a race car driver, Peter Hackett, his name is. I think he's off about Scratch at the Nash. He said, Hunty, you need to get on the Left Dash Pro V1X because Bryson used to use them. I think he helped design them. They're low spinning, still soft. And basically, Moonalynx, I've scoped it all out off the blacks. It actually is designed for me, this course. All it takes is a bad few hooks, and I'm done. I could get that and that will probably happen. But there could not be a more suited course in Australia for me. I hit a decently long ball, and so I'm trying just to hit big bombs and get wedges. Because my wedge game is okay, especially with the club that you guys are giving me. I can make up and down from most places. I like Texas wedging. I've scoped out Moon. I like the Texas wedge. I like bunker shots. I made four out of four on the back line at seven mile to make it the other day. Couldn't be more confident. I had 11 putts. Putt is good. I just need to get there. I need to get over the hills, get over the bunkers, because the fairway bunkers at Moon is a kryptonite. So I'm bombing the course. Par fives, I'm learning how to, like we did the other day on the where we all hit driver off the deck.

SPEAKER_00 19:24

Oh fourth hole. Fourth hole. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:27

I've learned how to hit driver off the deck, keep it low. The spinning Bryson ball. So thank you. I know you'll be tuning in, Bryson, so thank you. And that's my strategy. So if I miss a fair way and I've got a pitching wedge, go, I don't know, go organise a punching bag for me, because I'm having a meltdown out there. I don't want a pitching wedge, I don't want a nine-iron, and I don't want an eight-iron. So we're going bomb and gouge. Bomb and gouge.

SPEAKER_00 19:50

Bomb and gouge.

SPEAKER_01 19:51

Yeah. Texas wedging everything.

SPEAKER_00 19:52

And then boxing.

SPEAKER_01 19:53

All my little Mark Leashman six iron running thing.

SPEAKER_00 19:56

You're a weapon on the grains, Hunty. Thank you. I think that's your biggest asset. Listen to that. So you hit it in play.

SPEAKER_04 20:08

You don't believe it. No, I think it's it's the most convincing, unconvincing stroke. Oh, it's a horrible stroke. That's big Donald Trump. Oh my god, he does it. The amount of running he does after he hits the part. Yeah. But he is fucking spirit when he's putting is good. More creative. I think anytime, yeah, you're not one that wants to leave the ball eight foot below the hole straight up hill. I reckon you're better off with like a ten-foot one that's brought up. Slider. I want fun. Yeah, bit of a few. Creative fun.

SPEAKER_00 20:34

That's what and he'll give you the monologue. I'm there first round of Q school, bricking it. Yeah. And Hunty's there just monologuing his forefooter from hard. I like commentating.

SPEAKER_01 20:44

Anthony Hudson taught me that how to commentate my own balls. And that's what I love commentating my own balls.

SPEAKER_00 20:49

I think that's when you're in your element. Yeah. If you can do that tomorrow. Well, I'm gonna be.

SPEAKER_01 20:53

But that's my next question. Am I allowed to talk in my putting stroke? Yep. Yeah. Beautiful. I'm fucking home and host. If I can avoid the distance of 130 to 150, and I can avoid top left of greens, and I can avoid the shit on the left, because Hooksy, Hooksie McGavin's in my game. I just need to send him packing, old Hooksy.

SPEAKER_04 21:11

That's just so a lot of 130 to 150 metre shots though. Not for the bomber. Really? Now 110.

SPEAKER_01 21:17

Yeah. That was awkward.

SPEAKER_02 21:23

Fuck. We've heard a lot from Hunty. We have, haven't we? Now you you went through Q school and actually got through it. Yeah, I've been through the ordeal. So you're not you're not going to be stepping out there tomorrow. You'll be watching from the from the couch.

SPEAKER_00 21:38

Or will you go and support? No, well, we actually have a tournament on at the National. We start Thursday, you start tomorrow.

unknown 21:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:45

Eve Eve for the tournament at the Nash. Yeah, we're playing Nash. At the Nash. And then you guys are going doing the hard yards. And hopefully, I'll get to help Lockheed Ailen through his final stage. So my plan is to hang around and Get him through finals and get him a tour card with me next year. And I'd love love to see Hunty there. You know, you can only dream.

SPEAKER_02 22:08

Is so can you explain what happens from here? Like what has to happen for both Lockie and sorry, for both Hunty and Sticks to get their card.

SPEAKER_00 22:16

All right. It's a two stage operation. Stage one starts tomorrow. Three days, two stages. So there's two different courses being used. I think there's 80-ish guys on each stage. Uh the lengths of the heritage? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:30

So Tommy Ebsworth, one of our good mates, he's on the heritage. Okay. He scoped the course out and he decided that probably suited him a bit more. So I just want to shout him out. Good luck, Tebba. We're riding you strong. I'll be updating him. I'm allowed to use my phone. That's probably funny.

SPEAKER_00 22:44

You can look at scores. Yeah, you can look at it. And you're allowed to look at scores to see where you sit.

SPEAKER_01 22:49

Can I check the heritage leaderboard?

SPEAKER_00 22:50

Yeah, you can check the heritage board.

SPEAKER_01 22:52

I'll be tuning in to Tebba. Yeah. Mid swing, maybe. Big Arogato. A big arrogato. Good time to you. Tebba. Good luck to Tom Absworth. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 23:01

But yeah, once you tee off, because they they're never too sure how many people are actually playing, they'll tell you how many spots there are. So it might be 19 spots at Mooner Open, make it to final stage. And one one round is that about three rounds. So is it about 20? 25? Yeah. 20, 25%. 25% of the field is the calculation.

SPEAKER_01 23:21

A bit less then. So or 18-19.

SPEAKER_00 23:23

Yeah, yeah. So we'll say 18-19 make it through. Ailon and Hunty make it through. Beautiful. They get a couple of days off to celebrate.

SPEAKER_01 23:30

And 18-90 at Heritage as well. Yep. It'll be like 36 up.

SPEAKER_00 23:34

Yep. And this is stroke, three rounds of stroke. Three rounds of stroke. And this is stage one.

SPEAKER_01 23:39

And there's also a cut. If you're no good, which um hopefully not, you don't even buy to the third day. It's see you later, you know?

SPEAKER_04 23:46

Outside of 10 shots outside of the last qualif like the projected last qualifier for two rounds. You cut. That's it, you get cut Thursday Avo.

SPEAKER_00 23:54

That's going to be embarrassing. Just make the cut, son. Anyway, sorry, Bark's coming. And onto stage two from there, which will start next week on Tuesday, I think. That's four rounds.

SPEAKER_01 24:05

At the Heritage?

SPEAKER_00 24:06

Sandhurst. Ah, Sandhurst, I meant.

SPEAKER_01 24:08

So which course?

SPEAKER_00 24:10

There's two courses. Yeah, there is the championship. I flew over. There you go. In the chopper.

SPEAKER_04 24:15

It's called the Champions. The Chopper is not the Champions Course of Sandhurst next Tuesday. Sorry, Champ. We've got Righto Champ.

SPEAKER_00 24:25

We got all the stage one qualifiers are there, plus guys who didn't quite cut the mustard inside the top 70. So how many of them would it be? There'll probably be 80 people. 80 to 100. But total or? 80 people most. There'll be 30 or 40 from the Aussie tour last year. And 30 or 40. 30 or 40 qualifiers. And a few others who get different exemption categories.

SPEAKER_01 24:48

And then what? The final field is around.

SPEAKER_00 24:50

And I think it's 25 cards. Or 85, is it? Is that a number? 84 or 85. There'll be a cut after two days. Just 25 in tires. And then top 25 get their full Aussie tour card for next year.

SPEAKER_01 25:01

And what's the cut in the second week at the final stage? Is it?

SPEAKER_00 25:03

Well, I think it's within 10 or last place after two rounds. Within 10 of the last qualifier. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Last qualified place. One dude. What'd you have? 110. I'm good. Hey, mate, that's good. Well, that's happened. And then so you're only seven around seven rounds away from being a fully fledged Aussie tour player. Seven rounds.

SPEAKER_01 25:27

Or in the court. Can I ask a question? Yeah. Does it mean, say if I get one of these 25 cards? It's very unlikely. But does that mean like I'm in the Australian O?

SPEAKER_00 25:36

No. That's so for every tournament. Like you, it's it gives you a category on the list of players. Like Q School category, Hunty came 12th at Q School. You slot in. And depending on who enters what event, like the Aussie Open is a European tour event. I think it's a good one.

SPEAKER_01 25:52

What about the Aussie PGA, for example? Would you reckon you'd get in?

SPEAKER_00 25:54

No, Aussie PGA, Aussie Open, you wouldn't, but you'd get Vic PGA instead of playing a lot.

SPEAKER_02 25:59

Would he get the Papua New Guinea Open?

SPEAKER_00 26:00

He'd get the Papua New Guinea. I'll see you there.

SPEAKER_04 26:04

Just like clips in my brain as well. What we were talking about the other day. If Hunty gets through first stage, he'll have the opportunity to take up full tournament member, like a category of membership. Regardless of what happens at final stage. So and that category a lot of the time will get him a start in something like the puff and you can get it could get you a start. So cool. So there could be an option to play at a tour event. Because a lot of guys don't go over there, and you can get invites and stuff with that category.

SPEAKER_01 26:32

This is a massive what if. But me and Tab have been talking because I read the terms and conditions of the Q school uh info sheet or whatever it was. And it said at any point during this two-week ordeal, I guess, uh your hair would call it an ordeal. This two-weird ten minutes before the bulger. Don't back on the train.

SPEAKER_02 26:56

I like you, Bold, by the way. You never knew me any other one. Johnny Sims. Yeah. Well, I can't like it that way. Doctor and an asteroid. That guy does it all. Teamu Sims.

SPEAKER_01 27:08

Team Sims. Anyway. This two-week process, I heard that after any of these rounds, I can just say, Oh yeah, make me a pro.

SPEAKER_04 27:20

You'd never do it unless you got through an option to get like a category to enter professional events. Because if you say, for example, play round one tomorrow and you have even par, you might be top ten and you've got to check, you go, oh, I'm going to turn pro, and then things don't quite pan out, then you're in like in limbo.

SPEAKER_00 27:39

So yeah, you can't wait two years if you want to go back to an amateur. Yeah, okay. That's that was my question.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

What's the weakness of becoming pro? Then you can't add all the you can't play any amateur bands. So do you reckon even if I say I pull a who's the Leicesterfield? Um Leicester EPL thing. Yeah. Oh, Leicester City. I thought you were going to say Michael Block, the dude.

SPEAKER_02 28:02

Oh, Michael Block. But you can die. You got the ace at um the US PGS open.

SPEAKER_01 28:09

Yeah, yeah. So say I do the Miracle on Ice, an Ashley McGrath special. Yeah. Miracle on Grass, I think that was.

SPEAKER_02 28:16

Well, you're saying big Aragato when you get there. Say I win. Have the land of the rising sun behind you.

SPEAKER_01 28:22

Say we're six rounds in. I'm in the eve of the final round, and I'm in contention. I'm in top ten position.

SPEAKER_00 28:30

The hair's falling out of the state. Do I become pro? Do I become pro? If you get to final stage, do you think I should become pro? No, if you get to before you tee off in final stage Q school. No, but should I do it? You declare professional. Why? Because you can play pro and you can use your name, image, and likeness. But could I do it after? Sorry, Jaden Bunk Hunt.

SPEAKER_02 28:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:51

Could I could I win it as an amateur and then become pro, though? Correct. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, not a lot of good amateurs doing it. I don't want the price. It's not going to happen. I was about to say, I don't want the price.

SPEAKER_02 29:02

This one smells of sticks getting through to Kier School.

SPEAKER_03 29:09

If you get through the first stage, you do turn professional.

SPEAKER_04 29:13

Because you'll be uh a full tournament member of the PGA of Australia, which is like the bottom of it's not a category, but you're a professional member of the PJ of Australia.

SPEAKER_01 29:23

You're saying that's definitely I make it into the second week. Jaden Bunk, no longer the footy player, he's a professional golfer. Well, you that family will work if you have an arms.

SPEAKER_00 29:36

All the best.

SPEAKER_01 29:37

Can't wait to top the first whole have a 10 and it's all over.

SPEAKER_02 29:40

Boys, we've got a couple of things to do before we wrap it up because we need to get this one uh edited up so we can get it out there. Um quickly, question without notice. What if you could steal one thing from Hunty's game, what would you steal?

SPEAKER_04 29:52

His unwavering uh determination and belief over putting in putting. Genuinely would, not his putting stroke. And I I want to have his belief in his ability with a nice putting stroke. Okay. If if validation. I answered it, don't you?

SPEAKER_00 30:08

Yeah. If a ball goes in, does a ball go in? I didn't. That's yeah, and you're confirming his theory right now. Barks, what would you steal from Hunty? Mine is his ability to have aggressive monologue whilst executing a shot. It's unbelievable. And every time he starts, he hits one of his highlight shots of the day. He just starts chirping over the ball and rips one or holds the part. It is unbelievable.

SPEAKER_01 30:35

It's actually been really helpful. Like, I will thank you both, and I'll thank many people. Like through this journey, I've had, I reckon, 20 different coaches. My main coach, who've got to say thank you, is your coach, and you got me on to him, Brody Burton. He was absolutely been absolutely fantastic. He gets me, he gets my weird stuff, and it's been great. And he also said, create fun shots. You're not a straighty 180. You go to you go to rubbish when you just go straight par four and you try to hit a straight ball. He's like, aim in the woods right because you know you're never pushing it, and just hook it. Especially with a nine. And then basically, what happened on the par three the other day, the fifth or something? I try to hit a little fadey thing in, which is what you two do, and you executed it great. And what did I do? I pulled it left and I cracked the spits. And what did you say? You said embrace the energy you're feeling. I'm like, I want to hit it out to the clubhouse on the practice screen towards the Q school guys that are staring me off. So shout to them for staring me off the other day. You're going down tomorrow. But I want to put it out to the clubhouse and is it the fifth, the past three? Yeah, yeah. And pull it in. What did I do? I put it to five. Yeah, you ten foot or something. So you're you're just like Brody Burton, your philosophy for me is to create functionality. Have fun with it.

SPEAKER_00 31:42

Like you have fun with golf when you try too hard to do the right thing, it goes bad. It's not you. That's my left miss. My left miss.

SPEAKER_02 31:51

Andy, what would you steal from the boys?

SPEAKER_01 31:53

Uh I would take Barker's 60 degree up and down shot. He just goes, yeah, I'll make this. And he actually doesn't say even I'll make this. I'm like, I need to make this in. He doesn't even care about the up and down. So that ability to step up with nicely fresh grooves, which I hope. Yeah, plenty of grooves. Uh and your ability to have fun. Have a lot of fun with you. And sticks, I take, I reckon his consistent length. Like I reckon with my big bomber, sometimes one out of 20 I can get him, but consistently, just so long. And then when he's in a flow state and he doesn't get unlucky on the golf course, he's what did you have at Rosebud? What was your course thing? 59 or something? Yeah, 59. Yeah, his ability to shoot low, like it's there. And I can't wait for you to win a big tournament. We Brady was speaking the other day. It's coming, you think it as well. It's 100% coming with him.

SPEAKER_02 32:46

Compared to Papua New Guinea.

SPEAKER_01 32:48

Yeah, go to PNG.

SPEAKER_04 32:49

You have been hunting. Hey? You have been there. Yeah. Only got food poisoning once. So we had a good time last year, but we had a good time, not a great time.

SPEAKER_00 33:02

But to be honest, the 59, I was just thinking about that. You can count on both hands how many people in Australia have actually shot 59. So it's a pretty impressive.

SPEAKER_01 33:13

And that's under a lot of like you told me like we were walking to the rosebud practice ground the other day. Um and he goes to me, watch this. And I just see magnets, these old fellas just lockling ale and just come in together. Oh, I saw you stuffing up your part on 16 at Rosebud at um uh 13th bench the other day. What was that about? And he just goes like oh Get me out of here. Get me out of here. So people love you at Rosebud, they're supporting you, but yeah, I sort of know in my little time with Melbourne and West Coast supporters, it can play with your mind a bit when it you know the whole Rosebud cohort is watching you and they ride in every shot and they'll tell you about it on the Monday.

SPEAKER_04 33:58

Yeah, yeah, and it is, and it's like it's simple similar with every sport, I guess. And yeah, um, also like yeah, the people are very supportive. It's been an awesome golf club for me, but yeah, it is tax, especially when things are going crowd. I think when things are going good, like anything, I'm happy to answer questions and have a yarn and and whatever. But it's just haven't we go for the several months? It's just the qu it's just the same question. You can tell them coming home, like, oh, you're making enough money to get by. I'm like, oh Bob, how much money do you make? Bob from Rosebud, shout out. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's just stuff, it's not disingenuous. I think they're actually trying to have a conversation. Maybe they're just a bit stoked. I don't realise either here. They're just fully getting in your grill. Why do you think I'm standing in the pro shop for 12 hours? Yeah, heaps of money.

SPEAKER_01 34:42

Well, that's that's what I've found. Like, you guys are amazed at how much how many rounds I play. Yeah, I thought all pro golfers did that. Like, I'm today freshly off 36 holes. Yeah, that's impressive.

SPEAKER_00 34:54

It's crazy. That's impressive.

SPEAKER_01 34:55

I thought that's what everyone does. There was no one out there past 4 pm. I was by myself out there. First light, I was out there as well. No one's out there. Where are they?

SPEAKER_04 35:03

As Barker said, it's with your shot shaping and everything, it's like I think that's part of the experience of golf. You've got to work, well, work out what works for you. Some people might play one practice round and then they rest up because they can't be bothered playing, and that works for them. But some people go out there three three rounds and hit balls for four hours a day, and that's that's their sort of thing. So yeah, you're different I mean, you're gonna create your own thing. I don't think any other person's ever taken that route.

SPEAKER_01 35:32

But um well, I was thinking about paying off spectators, happy Gilmore style to long left little birdies around. Um, but yes army.

SPEAKER_02 35:42

The other day, Hunty, you caught a chopper. Yes, a fucking chopper because your car broke. We just saw it. Apparently they drove. How did we not discuss that?

SPEAKER_01 35:53

Yeah, yeah. What was this? What day was that? A few days ago. Um, I was playing cathedral, it was Sunday. Um, and basically, I'm off to the States, I'm going to the Masters in a few weeks, uh, and then I'm living over in America for a month, and I'm playing all these top 52 golf courses with golf loot. I'm basically based myself in New York, Monday to Friday, going out to these top 52 courses. I'm back in May to play full forward for the mighty Drivesdale Hawks, which I'm looking forward to. I said I would, so I am, and I can't wait to kick a bag. Um anyway, then I'm off to Europe. But I fully forgot the point of this story is Patrick. You forgot to put oil in your cathedral. You forgot to put oil in your car mood. But my sister had an old Subaru Outback, and the Subaru Outback 2004 model has gone through me like I guess a spicy Indian curry. Of Indaloo.

SPEAKER_02 36:47

I've gone through four of them. Just say you didn't put oil in the fucking car. No, she wasn't. She gave me this old.

SPEAKER_00 36:52

This is an error, she mastered.

SPEAKER_01 36:55

She kindly gave me their old car because they have three kids, I didn't want it to break down. So they said, just run in the ground. I know you're going to America, you've got a few weeks to get through it. So I was on my way to Cathedral, had friend of the pod and lifelong member of the Stroking Woods, Miles Neville's 30th, which we'd uh paid for round at Cathedral with Brian Vella from Golf Loot. And so I left Balnaring, I got round the roundabout roundabout at Muruduck, up the on-ramp, and she carks it. I try to get oil because I saw the oil was down. I knew it wasn't in. I reckon it's a timing belt. That didn't work. And then I'm thinking, okay, the tea time's at one, it's now 11.30 or something. I think it was 11. I'm like, if I can rent a car right here, right now, um, I'll get this done. Look up Mornington and uh car rentals. It just wasn't gonna happen. I'd have to Uber there. So then I'm like, oh no, I cannot. Like, I'm a man of my word. If I say I'm gonna be on the tea time at one, I will do everything to be there. I hate people that miss it. I have made 12.59 and 40 seconds. I've got a Casio watch with seconds on this, and geez, it helps me a lot of the times. But I'll always make the T-box by the time provided. So I stayed calm, grabbed my clubs, grabbed my laptop, grabbed my suit, started waddling my way to the service station. Then I was like, Oliver Parsons, my longest friend. Since three years of age, I've known this guy. He's a helicopter pilot. So I give him a call, am I any chance? And he's like, believe it or not, it's my morning off. I didn't have a big night last night. He's in bed, but he didn't have a mega one, so he was sober and everything, ready to go. He I said, Okay, in what world, in what time frame, can you get to the National helicopter? He said, I'm in Hampton. The helicopter's in Marabin from my old boss. I can hire that. I've landed at both the National and Cathedral. Insurance will be covered. I'll just have to look up the scripts, uh the documents, and send it to both pro shops. I can be in the helicopter in 20 minutes, another 20 in the air, I can be at the national in 40, 45 minutes. I'm like, beautiful, I'll be there in 20. Meet you there. Bo and behold, he rocks up. The gunner pro shop are just looking at me. It's like, this guy again. Like they've dealt with a lot of phone calls recently, like with a lot of my score issues, black teas, silver teas, all the go. I've been playing it up to try to I play black tees just because the handicapped scratch ratings are the dash helped me a lot. So I don't have to shoot that low. But basically they're like, oh my god, not again. And they said, it's all good. If your mate sends the documents, they sent the documents. I grabbed a Gatorade, Ollie came, I flew over my most favourite golf course in the world, the National Hole Complex. I looked at the beautiful surf to my left. I went over your club at Rosebud. I then went over. So this is taking Q School a bit too seriously. I went over Sandhurst and checked the pins and checked the green complexes. We went over the Rangers Cathedral. Uh my favourite road in Victoria is the Black Spur. I saw that from an aerial view, and we just talked and gossiped and had a great old time. Took us 45 minutes.

SPEAKER_02 39:59

Right, that's an episode of the Grinna Golf Cars. You could have just whacked that on there. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 40:04

We land with the come into Cathedral, Miles is waiting on the first. I land at 1257, golf cart waiting, smack, give um the helpers, the kind helpers at Cathedral, my suit, my laptop, my camcorder, all the gossip stuff, which was just in the back seat of this helicopter, small. It was strapped in very tightly and nicely. And then I had two minutes to pack it. Got in a golf card, made that with a minute, no, not quite, 50 seconds to spare.

SPEAKER_02 40:29

And you proceeded to lose four and three to Miles Neville. Yeah, in the Gringle semi-finals, and then butchered it like I usually do. Quickly before we go, we needed an ultimate golf course. Let's keep it super quick. For the first time, we're gonna throw the vote over to the listeners. But can we have a nomination from each of you, please, for your favorite or your ultimate hole number six, whatever you've played?

SPEAKER_04 40:59

Yeah, I went a bit rogue because of the pro amps I played last year. So I played some funky courses, but really probably one of the best nine old courses in Australia, I can Tevan Valley. Uh sixth hole there, a little short par four, which I think a lot of people have said a lot of short par fours, but awesome little green complex, very pin dependent, probably not hitting more than a three would to get on the green, but can really make a quick bogey around the surroundings if you're in the wrong spot.

SPEAKER_01 41:21

So I've got a quick shootout shootout. Shout out to Moona number six, uh the national mooner. Yeah, just a fun little almost four or five iron, and then it's one of the greatest approaches ever to a double green, and you can end up on the double green, let me tell you that much, downwind especially. But I can't go past RM6. I believe it's the one of the best par fours in world golf. Classic, like you say, short par four. You can you can hit the double bomber out towards the dam with a big hooks McGavin to the green almost. Or you can hit a fade with a five wood and just cut it, cut it in nicely to a good spot. You can hit four iron well left, you can hit two iron aggressive at a good line. The pin placements are immense. That top left pin, I believe, that back bunker shot is the hardest shot almost in world golf. Yep. You can clip it nicely, as the Presidents Cut people uh and the Oz Open people discovered. You can clip it nicely, the most perfect bunker shot ever, and it'll roll to 80 meters short of the green. It is just magnificent. And of course, they put the Sunday pin where it is. But there's a one outright, you can use the banks, all that. It's just a magnificent hole, great viewing point of the green. I believe the best spot in a almost world golf tournament wise is above the sixth green. You can see the fifth, par three, the sixth, par four, and geez, I don't know what happens up there because uh there's a plenty of excitement in those bushes. You're chubbing up under the table. Exactly right. So I've got to go RM six.

SPEAKER_00 42:52

Okay, that's I cannot argue with that. I had my honourable mention as six mooner course at the rational, and I RM RM West hole sixes. I think you can just pencil that one in.

SPEAKER_01 43:04

Okay. What is because one of the things that is the best hole in the complex. Give us 10 second synopsis of what the ideal strategy is.

SPEAKER_00 43:11

Because I hit a rip fade driver. Yeah, it's a good thing. But the thing is, but the thing is, it depends on the wind. Yeah, if it's downwind, driver's too much, you gotta tidy it up because you can run through that fairway. Um and then if it's into the wind driver, you have to aim further left.

SPEAKER_01 43:26

Well, we had a big left and right wind, and someone ended up in the dam the other day.

SPEAKER_04 43:30

They tried to hit the I've been on the path in between the dam and uh the haggis in cold tenant. My dad was caddy. I played the best shot of my life. Remember this big hook, I think it was a seven iron up over the trees onto the ground to 30 foot, then putted it. I'll figure out. No, I know. I remember I'd never forget the image of turning around seeing dad just standing.

SPEAKER_01 43:49

Is he bold as well? He is.

SPEAKER_02 43:53

Shout out, Stan. Yeah, shout out Stan. Oh, very good. My I think it's a six hole. Jack's pot. Oh no, I think that's a I think that's a six, isn't it? I think it's like eleven, isn't it? Oh, I thought it was a six. I haven't played the one. Okay, well, I thought it was six, because that's the one where I won nearest the pin on the grinade.

SPEAKER_01 44:14

Yeah, might be. It's a classic. That wedge.

SPEAKER_02 44:16

It's a ripper. So forgive me for a moment. For the sake of this, I say I'm gonna say whole six Jack's points. If it's not right, I won't put it in the poll. Um but just quickly rehashing, we've got RM6 East. West West, sorry.

SPEAKER_04 44:28

Stephen Valley Six.

SPEAKER_00 44:29

I can I can give an honourable mention to throw something else in there. Number six at Pebble Beach. The path five up the hill. We're going international. Alright, international. That's pretty iconic.

SPEAKER_02 44:39

I like it. I like it a lot. I say Jack's point. But I can't remember.

SPEAKER_00 44:44

Asterisk.

SPEAKER_02 44:45

Oh yeah. It's across the Tasman. Shut up, Stick. Alright. Across the river. Across the river. Alright, guys. Uh, we're looking to wrap it up shortly, but there's a little gift exchange as per customary of the Gruna Golf Cast. What do we got? Rebaka.

SPEAKER_04 44:59

Pick it up.

SPEAKER_00 45:00

Alright. From Ailen. Alien. The Alien. We got a couple of little custom goodie bags. You put your valuables in there, keep them in your golf bags.

SPEAKER_04 45:10

A little Scottish little number. If you gave us more than 15 minutes notice, we could have got your initials. No, I really like this.

SPEAKER_01 45:15

Yeah. I like this a lot.

SPEAKER_00 45:17

Yeah, on two of those come in handy.

SPEAKER_01 45:20

Thank you. We'll chuck these up.

SPEAKER_00 45:22

And as a bit of a fan of the uh stroking woods, I got you a little birdie juice. A little bottle of Scotch double wood for the stroking woods.

SPEAKER_01 45:31

Welcome. Hey, you might have to play in the play, in I'm trying to get it. He might have to play in the play in and let him catch it. It's meant to be. What do I do to you? I chuck golf balls at you during the round you drop them. I say, you must be a golfer. He's not.

SPEAKER_02 45:46

So Barks are you a stroking wood or a bench out?

SPEAKER_00 45:49

I think that's my official application as a stroking wood.

SPEAKER_01 45:52

You hear that. Mitch Brown, Miles Neville, who didn't come because of their babies. Alan Hunt did.

SPEAKER_02 45:58

It might be a spot for Barker. What about you, Sticks? Are you a stroke and wood or a bench after?

SPEAKER_04 46:02

I think a bench. I met Rutzi probably once. Jack runner, ding ding ding. I like him a lot more than Jaden, so I'm going to side with him. Can you give us a big fat up the shafts? Up the shafts. That was not nice.

SPEAKER_01 46:16

Go stroke your wood, mate. It just didn't come out right. Just like your drives on the 18th.

SPEAKER_02 46:25

There we'll let Hunty take it away with a big goodbye. But just from me, thank you for coming on on the eve of um Q School. I know it's uh well, I mean, Barks will be sitting on the couch. Well no, he's be preparing for his tournament in a couple of days, but sticks, I know it's in tomorrow.

SPEAKER_01 46:41

I was gonna play that if I didn't qualify for Q School today.
