0:00.0	Well, hello world. Welcome back to golf stuff for our coat note and Drew Stelts. If you're
0:14.4	watching on YouTube, you can see I got this beautiful backdrop. I'm in New York City,
0:19.0	just left the travelers. Big day tomorrow. So please turn in 38. Had to come to city to
0:24.2	the city to celebrate it. Yes, dude. Want to send you a big happy B day. You got a nice
0:28.3	day lined up, too. By the way, gravy meets the big apple hell of a backdrop you got behind
0:32.7	behind you. Tell the folks where you're banging it tomorrow. Yeah. So by the way, 90 miles
0:39.1	from TPC River Highlands to the Soho Grand here in downtown Manhattan, 90 miles, three

1:17.3	it's hop five in the sleaze rankings, at least. I don't know how the rest of the world
1:22.4	golf, I don't golf all these things rank them, but it's it's good. And it doesn't just
1:26.8	beat your head in like some of the courses up now. It's it's in my top three. I can't wait
1:31.2	to do it, but I got to give a huge shout out to Keegan Bradley, man. That performance
1:34.9	he put in put on at the Travis championship, just running away from the field, tried to
1:39.4	make it a little interesting coming down the stretch. I know his heart was beating a
