| 0:15.5 | Mm-hmm. |
| 0:16.7 | Podcasting with a man who just shot a hole in two. Eighthull, par three, 125 yards. I completely duff my t-shot. Like I look down in the divot is not where the divot's supposed to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So then the park rangers, like, why are you hitting the ball right next to the T-box? You're supposed to from the T-box. I hit it in the hall. Hole in two, baby. Besties, if you don't count the first shot, |
