Friends, family fans. Welcome back to another episode of Back Nine Betts. Episode 147, Royal Port Russian

Roulette, which I believe is what Ben Coley was playing in the lobby of the stream yard situation.

Yeah, and didn't work out. The bullet came through there, Mr. Harrop. So we got one, we've sliced one of the guys from the Slice podcast out of the show. And now we've just got the other half. So Mr. Harrop, how are you on this fine? Fine morning here on Tuesday in Central Iowa and wherever I may find you. I'm just sorry, Barron, you've ended up with the worst half of the sliced duo. but yeah, no, I'm doing, I'm doing well. I'm down in Dorset on the south coast of UK, so I, yeah, it's a nice part of the world, but yeah, I know it's an early start for you. So, you know, it's an honor to be on the show. Why, thank you. It's honored to have you.

And you know, you get these shitty, like, gimmicky gifts. Yeah, yeah. It's a golf mug. This is, like, the one and only opportunity I've had to, like, really, I see to find the putter that I, like, put through the hole over here. So, um, cheers to whoever bought me this for Christmas. That's better than the one I've got.

I've got one where it's like,

it's literally shaped like a golf ball.

So you can't physically drink out of it without it all just spilling down your chin.

It's really quite special.

The gifts you get are just incredible.

Caitlin was showing me a TikTok video of,

of someone strapping, you know, those like baby, like firecracker, like pop guns, those. Oh, yeah, yeah. You like scotch tapered to the back of your golf ball. So when no one's paying attention, you just tee that bad boy up and just like light the golf course on fire, basically. And she's like, this would be such a good idea.

It's like, yeah, no one's going to see me hitting a golf ball that's got like a giant

red piece of firecracker like taped to the back of it.

But it's, you know, the world out there.

The world out there.

All righty.

So we're, we're in Ireland, Royal Port Rush. And it's it's so nice to go back to

the Open Championship every year because, you know, as most people that know that listen to the

show, 12 of the last 12 Open Championship winners had finished first or second in a major before

that. So it is the most pedigreed of the bunch because the Masters is next.

And then we've seen the US Open, Sam, JJ Spahn, Wyndham Clark, you know, like that is

where the, you know, unsolidified up-and-comers tend to find their first majors at the US Open.
