Summary

This Friday episode begins with some quick reactions to the first day at the Honda Classic, where Matt Jones may have posted the round of the year. Andy provides some intel on the Swamp draw differential that Jones took advantage of in the morning. There’s also discussion on the entire fleet of Honda vehicles and which one is best, as well as an effort to figure out what the company sponsoring the KFT event actually does. Masters Fact of the Day is on the cracker barrel (not that one) and Cheez-It procurement. A twofer Precision Pro Flashback Friday hits first on Bruce Lietzke, the 1984 Honda winner, who played an extremely unique schedule while at the top of his game and also nearly missed a tee time while looking for a hot dog. The second Flashback focuses on 1996 Honda winner Tim Herron, who won it early in his rookie year by edging John Daly as the longest off the tee and opening with a first round (much like Matt Jones) that some thought was a scoreboard malfunction. The 1996 Flashback is also an occasion to bring up a wildly amusing story on two players arriving via helicopter and fire truck at the golf course, as well as some sharp critiques of TPC Eagle Trace, the TPC Network, and Greg Norman’s relationship to that network.

1:04.0	It's been a while since the master says.
1:07.0	I know.
1:08.0	It's nuts. What a quick turnaround. Two in six months as the CNBC host. So kindly remind to Jay Monahan last week.
1:16.0	I just think it's great. It's how close is the players, too.
1:21.0	Sure. Sure. Yeah, quick turnaround. You see they have a new players commercial out today during the broadcast.

1:57.0	It was amazing. I looked up. I said, why are they running this? I was like, no, it was more of a commemorative. They're just fire back up again. No more defining moment.

2:25.0	Hem and Ha, but with players to image her commercial. It's like that. They're done.
2:31.0	Maybe they may be the guy that does the players commercials just an overachiever. Maybe he has his own conference room, his own meeting room. He's, you know, kind of good productive out there, free from interruption.
2:43.0	Maybe he's worried about getting sent into the mouth. How are you doing? I don't know if I reciprocated. Are you doing well? Everything good down there in the swamp?
2:55.0	Doing great. It's a balbee day down here today. It was breezy as we saw it at the Honda. Really tough afternoon scoring conditions.
