Summary

The week begins with some laughter-induced tears as Andy and Brendan delight in their re-acquaintance with the walking, talking Cologuard box. They naturally begin their results review with the Senior Tour, discussing the water hazards in Tucson, Mike Weir’s wounded putts and HOF credentials, and Kevin Sutherland “hanging in on the backside.” Then they get to the brilliance of Collin Morikawa and how his golf almost made Sunday’s finish at Concession boring. They discuss the venue’s volatility, its catch basin shotmaking challenge, and Billy Horschel’s ample commentary on the conditioning and commendation for the Tour setup crew. They discuss Brooksy’s run of J-Day health troubles. Also addressed are the many Tiger tributes and the discourse around those. Nelly Korda’s work at the Gainbridge is praised but not the tape-delayed broadcast. With the LPGA going to a third Orlando-area course, Andy stumbles into researching the tribute holes at next week’s venue and finds many factual errors.

0:00.0	Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of a lot of setup work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work, so I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here.
0:14.0	And here we go.
0:17.0	All right, all right, all right.
0:21.0	Determine!
0:24.0	Start your escape!
0:29.0	Greetings and welcome to a Monday edition of the shotgun start. It is March 1st. Andy, how are we doing?
0:49.0	Brendan! I'm doing great. It's the first of the month. It's always nice to be getting the month off on the right foot by recording.
1:00.0	And pretty pleased that this week's premiere event didn't take a dump in the cup.
1:08.0	What does that mean?
1:10.0	The cold guard classic was a real hit. What was scintillating finish?
1:16.0	Yeah, someone said, dumping the cup honors, go to the FedEx for not getting the shirt to call more Kawa. The winner could have been there.
1:24.0	We had no clarity on what shipping service it was, and then Ryan Lafter tweeted out that it was stuck in Memphis, which is just an absolute dead giveaway that FedEx, you know, we have to hear about them.
1:37.0	Not stop on end. Every broadcast didn't hear the specifics of who had the package that didn't make it, the column work out for his Tiger Tribute red shirt.
1:47.0	But give it away. If it's stuck in Memphis, I can only mean one thing. That's FedEx. I think they're dumping the cup. They are dumping the cup award.
1:56.0	But yes.
1:57.0	I bet UPS would have gotten that shirt there.
2:01.0	Westie might have hand delivered it.
2:03.0	DHL? Who knows? Yeah, everybody would have. Yeah, it's not a good block.
2:10.0	Such a stupid story that's just right in our wheelhouse. There's a shipping trouble with those tribute shirts, which is a whole separate deal.
2:19.0	But no, the cold guard came through in a big way. We had a battle back and forth down the stretch between Kevin Sutherland and Mike Weir.
2:30.0	Who was Weir in the pool? We were going to put him in the low-wind label section and we looked it up.
