Summary

This Wednesday episode is a quick whip through the schedule for the week, starting with the Zozo Championship on the PGA Tour. Andy laments the no-cut status and the notion that the PGA Tour is sending its worst kind of product to a market that every player should play in during the season. During this discussion, the new Australia event for pros and amateurs is praised, while a larger concern about that historic golf market being somewhat left behind on the greatest pro stages is raised. Also, is Rickie the player with the most to gain from these sleepy fall events, or is it “European Rickie”? The first leg of the Schwab Cup is noted, with defending champ Phil Mickelson in the field. Some “notables” from both KFT and LPGA q-schools are discussed as well, including Dr. Jack’s boy. They close with news on one college player signing with an agency for NIL matters before a technical issue forces an abrupt ending.

0:00.0	Hello, Shack and Start fans. It's Andy. I'm on the road. We had some technical difficulties.
0:08.4	I'm not really sure what happened. It just cut out. This is our backup recording. We've got
0:14.8	backups now. It's something we've learned. We got a backup recording. It's just not the same
0:20.0	quality that you've probably come to expect from this fine production. And it just cut out. So
0:27.8	this is a true cliffhanger type situation. I think some some TV shows might be contacting us
0:36.7	about how to create such a suspenseful ending. There's something that you're going to have to
0:42.0	just wait to hear until Friday when when you get the answer of of this question when you get to
0:48.1	that end. So I apologize about it's not perfect. It's not the worst. It's definitely not the worst
0:56.4	audio quality. But you know, it's just a backup recording. It's it's not not great. So without
1:04.8	further ado, here is today's Shack and Start. Now the Shack and Start and Golf is full of
1:12.3	mathematics. There's a lot of a lot of setup work that we have to do in order to make a tournament
1:18.0	work. So I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a Shack and Start here.
1:26.5	Go. All right. All right. All right.

2:09.1	I'm doing well. I'm doing well. Yes, busy week. Well, worse for the wear, but not, you know,
2:14.2	it just physically worse for the wear. Walk 36 holes yesterday with you. I mean, that's a lot of
2:19.8	holes. You do. It seemed to do this 12 times a year now. This is what that was your 12th and final
