Hello world. Welcome back to golf subpar. Colt knows Drew Stoltz. It's a lazy man. First off, I'm a year older. It's tragic.

0:17.7

You don't show it. I don't feel over 36 in my book. I feel younger honestly. Do you? Yeah. You getting healthier?

0:24.8

Getting much healthier. I've let it greens. You know, and of course, gotta be gotta be using those.

0:29.9

But what a week it was, Zander Shoffley, our guy who we've seemed to almost pick every single week, got

0:37.1

the job done up at the trial was with another very, very exciting finish. That tournament every year.

0:41.9

I mean, it comes down to the wire last year. It was an eight-hole playoff this year. We're coming

0:45.7

down him and Hifthagala battling it out. Listen, I love Hifth. Great to love his energy,

0:51.7

loves the way he plays golf. Might have been one of the dumbest decisions we've ever seen in my life

0:55.7

on the golf course. That was a tough one to swallow. You know, he's talked about that decision that

0:59.4

hitting the driver off the tee, I got no issue with whatsoever. That's the club you love and that's

1:03.5

the one you've been hitting good. He just got it on, you know, he's been hitting good t-balls. I got no

1:07.4

issue with that whatsoever. He probably thinks at that point, like, Zander being Zander, like he's

1:11.3

gonna birdie either 17 or 18, the balls in my hands. I mean, Big Birdie on 18, I can put this

1:15.2

thing to bet. No, no issue with that whatsoever. He catches the shit lie underneath the lip. And

1:20.0

looking at it on television, I was like, there's, I was thinking, you might have to go out sideways.

1:23.5

I don't think you can even splash it out of this thing. At most, you could splash it out.

1:27.7

It's out there and talked about forever. At that point, it's like, okay, Bird's probably not

1:31.0

gonna happen here. Let's get this thing out, make par, bogey at worst, force Zander's hand. All right,

1:35.5

make him make birdie. If he does that, tip of the cap. All right, it didn't work out for you.

1:39.1

But to try to hit that shot over that lip, 105, I think he had to the front one, 123 to the flag.

1:45.1

Yeah, he hit it at 105 yards out of that thing. And so at that point, I was like, that's the
