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.

And here we go.

All right, all right, all right.

Determine! Start your end game!

Greetings and welcome to a Thursday edition of the shotgun start. It is July 20th. Andy, how are we doing?

Brendan, I am doing phenomenal. I have to admit, I am shocked at how good I've felt today. I got up at 2 a.m.

once his leap at 8, but I followed a great, I was tweeting into thin air about recommendations. I got all kinds of recommendations.

I got one from a person I trust. He skipped Twitter, he went straight to text. Kevin Moore, professor at University of Georgia, one of the co-founders of golf blueprint, smart guy.

You know, immediately this is what I was doing when he texted me. You're ready for it? Sure.

You're ready for your new routine for open championship wake up. Wake up, shower with ice cold for the last 30 seconds.

Coffee an hour later. Ideally, throw in something that gets your heart rate up for 15 to 20 minutes if you can afford it.

All about keeping a adrenaline spike until your body starts naturally producing the morning chemicals as the time it knows.

So, I did this, did some push ups and stuff, got 15 minute workout and I took the cold shower.

And I have to tell you, like, 4 a.m. rolled around and I was like, God, I feel awesome.

And it's carried through. I'm, you know, I'm a little bit tired, but like, I've never felt so good covering it open in the States, let alone the West Coast.

Yeah, I was going to say, yeah, isn't this your first one on the West Coast? No, I was in LA years ago for one.

Okay. But not a professional capacity. No, in a professional capacity. Covering golf. It was one of my first, first years of Friday.

Okay. Yeah, we're doing well here. It is now 330 Easter and there's still some groups cleaning up on a peacock here. Kind of interesting.

They just, they waited for Rory to put out and then just blasted home who's like in, you know, in contention. I know everybody's still early in contention.

Home of Morakawa had and just got blasted over to the cock, the peacock and just shut it down on USA Network to make way for SBU or whatever else was coming.

So a group still finishing up. We're in like hour or I don't know 13 of being awake. I about, I'd say my energy levels are good. I think I'm just a little like punch drunk from watching so much golf.

I'd say that's the case. Had to have a lot of takes, a lot of energy, a lot of thoughts about watching all that we consume here today.
