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 gonna demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here.

And here we go.

All right, all right, all right.

Get to men!

Start your Indian!

Greetings and welcome to a Monday edition of the shotgun start. It is July 26th. Andy, how are we doing?

Brandon, I'm doing great. It's an interesting day that driving across the Great American Heartland, you know, watched a touch of golf this morning, got to see the end of that avion that was really exciting, great, great round, but things are moving, life's moving right now. What about you? You are in a undisclosed, looks like a vacation house.

Life's life, yeah, we're at the beach, you're at the lake, we're spanning Big Ten Country though, I'm in Maryland, you're in Iowa, you've done Indiana, Illinois, it's all Big Ten Country, although maybe not for long, maybe everybody's joining the SEC by the time, you know, this podcast is over, I have no idea what's happening, but this, you know, behind the scenes, you know, it's usually pretty low fly to begin with, you know, duct tape but together, but this isn't duct tape.

This is like chicken wire hanging on by a red, it's Scotch tape, maybe where you need at least duct tape grade, probably was up more flex deal, though, we've got like a little piece of Scotch tape, I'm on my phone, you're in a bar at an undisclosed golf course, it's a very disclosed, we're having an event tomorrow,

wonderful place, wonderful place, coming live from Davenport Country Club, just got finished setting up the pins for tomorrow, the whole locations, the morning and afternoon, whole locations, give us some dicey locations, you know, doing my best slogger routine, Mike Davis routine out there with a stint meter, you know,

did you really have it out there? No, I can see you just one of her amusements, the actual sort of, you know, precise, we get to to spray paint cans, will nights, man's the spray paint, I'm not to be trusted with it, I'm not very good at it. So, you know, we, we get the pins dialed in, where do you want to start on this weaving winding journey, should we talk about the Olympics off the bat, a couple high profile, two thick golfers.

Who are not going to be attending the Olympics due to COVID?

Proper thick boys, Rob and Robin Bryson to show us.

I said, Rob, Rob is a proper thick boy, I don't know if Bryson is a, you know, creative thick boy.

Yeah, fluctuating, maybe not improper, thick might be the wrong word, he was thick a year ago, now he's not thick. Anyways, he tested positive for something, it was COVID, there was, you know, there was a COVID-19 that he's out,

and Patrick Greed is parachuting in on a patchwork quilt of the Olympic of the American flags that is kept in America's shield, ready to march into Tokyo and then play golf.

He's filling in, Rob is not, it's, it's Audrey Arnaus on an island for Spain, Sergio Paz has no pride, has no nationalistic pride.

Well, he plays for Texas, he plays, that's obviously that's it's clear is, you know.

So Rob's out, I don't know, like, God, I don't know the science, he's still testing positive, he's, you know, he claims he was vaccinated, he said he was vaccinated, he said he has antibodies, he said everything.

So he said it's US open, that was over a month ago, they still test positive, thick boy, you know, whatever, thick boy, it's unsurprising, right? Who knows?

I gotta say, one thing that makes me sort of nervous, have we seen, and I gotta be honest, I was at the beach for much of the day, I was driving yesterday.

Have we seen Hideki at all? Have we heard from Hideki at all? Like if Rob's still testing positive, Hideki had to drop out of the open for testing positive, like, I don't think he was in the opening ceremony.
