Summary

A forlorn Andy signs on to chat about his idol Lee Westwood coming up short at Bay Hill. Brendan immediately inquires what hurt most -- the bad breaks, the poor shots, or the wasted opportunities with the Thicc Boi not exactly running away from him. Then the marvel at the Bryson circus act, from the show at the 6th hole, the extremely sketchy drop at 16 green, the bunker complaints, and the triumphant primal scream on the 18th green. They ponder a re-worked PGA Tour schedule that makes these crackling Q1 events the actual playoffs. There is a speed round segment on Pat Reed messing around in the rough, anticipated preferred lies, the Robert Gamez disaster, and Baton Boy Billy. Brendan has some comments on the Arnold hagiography watering down the authenticity of what was actually so great about him. They close with a conspiracy theory on Brooksy’s WD from The Players and a chat on Austin Ernst’s runaway win at Golden Ocala.

0:00.0	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.
0:14.0	And here we go.
0:17.0	All right, all right, all right.
0:21.0	Determine!
0:24.0	Start your engine!
0:29.0	Greetings and welcome to a Monday edition of the shotgun start. It is March 8th. Andy, how are we doing?
0:50.0	Brandon, I'm pretty sad.
0:55.0	We opened our little application here that we record on, like whatever, join a Zoom call type thing.
1:01.0	I'm just like, oh, I'm so sad.
1:05.0	Like, I mean, it was a good showing. It was a full westie experience. Were you like counting on a win there? I mean, 60 was 60.
1:14.0	What do you mean you should have won?
1:17.0	Three putted, 14. He doesn't make birdie on 16, and he loses by one.
1:22.0	16 was pathetic. It was an embarrassment. You should be ashamed. Everybody should be, I was thinking we should refund everybody a bottle, west the island shirt for that discipline.
1:31.0	What about all the shots on the front nine? He was, he hit it in tight on the three of the first four holes and was won over.

1:52.0	I don't know, that's where we want to go at the top. If nobody can hit a fairway, the best players in the world, nobody can hit the fairway. Is it a good fairway?
1:59.0	Everybody's running through it. It's got trees, it's got trees in front of bunkers too.
2:03.0	It's got shrubs in front, you got to hit over the road, you got to hit over the shrubs. Nobody can hit the fairway.
2:09.0	He rolled through, he goes, I thought it was in the fairway, then he catches a fried egg on the ups up of a bunker. It makes a miracle par.

2:26.0	It just, it hurts, Brendan. It was the full westy experience. It was from, like really the first hole. Hit it in tight.
