Summary

This Monday episode begins with a tale from the road, as a family vacation gets off to a rough start. Then it’s on to the Women’s Open at Carnoustie, which closed the books on the majors for 2021. Andy and Brendan react to Anna Nordqvist getting it done despite being unable to chip, Nanna Koerstz Madsen booting it away on the 18th hole, some invasive Playing Through choices, Louise Duncan’s contention, and the Salas slow play. The Northern Trust discussion moves to the updating of the rules to allow for a Tuesday finish, the tough break in the schedule, the grounds crew efforts to get it playable for Monday, and the SubAir usage throughout the week. Similar to the Women’s Open, the 18th hole became a scene of catastrophe in Boise on the KFT, where Greyson Sigg used a drop from a backboard to make par and edge an imploding Aaron Rai. The Ferryman gets it done at the Czech Masters and the bomber jacket Rod Pampling got for winning on the Champions Tour is worth googling.

0:45.0	Brendan! I'm doing all right. I had a big drive today, and it was interesting. You heard the grunting, you knew there was a poop happening, but the baby was going to sleep, so you were...
1:02.0	Oh, she's going to sleep.
1:05.0	Guy just keeps driving.
1:07.0	Yeah, let it go. Ride it out.
1:09.0	But it's out here. I didn't know where you were going there, okay?
1:13.0	About an hour and a half later, the baby's up, and she's, you know, flailing about in the back seat, and all of a sudden this bench is...
1:23.0	You know, we're thinking we're driving by something. I look back, and there's poop everywhere, everywhere.
1:33.0	She was throwing it. She was playing with the poop.
1:41.0	My wife is sitting in front of her, so she was going on. I'm like, she's playing with her poop, and she goes, no!
1:50.0	And pull off the road. It was traumatic. There was poop everywhere. It was a historic blowout.
1:59.0	Well, here's the thing. Like, I mean, this is an honest, I got a question.
2:04.0	Like, the extra hours, and your mileage passed, is it worth it?
2:09.0	And knowing you might have a little more cleanup on the back end, it's, hey, that's a possibility, but it's still worth it to just keep going.
2:16.0	I mean, we had to stop for an hour plus, just clean up the car seat, and the baby.
