Him you have changed clubs now a hot start is this W yeah I came prepared or what did Eric come prepare Eric Eric did provide the water bottle did figured as much figured as much I got back at 2 last night yeah really yeah I was late what airline lands at

2:00 in the morning apparently Delta hold on oh really at least you can get out of Jacksonville a lot of people are having trouble you know hoser he had to whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa my brush man whoa whoa whoa whoa clean G I understand that but

That do you have any flipflops that hold your teeth you can than you can thank Teddy for that one goodness gracious that’s out of the fourth flight he got tired of cleaning my clubs on the Range so he gave me this oh he’s got a scrubber for hisy dokie

Beautiful all right let’s go next tournament’s match play in Austin uhhuh Austin Country Club right yep in particular you know you’ve had a real good run there last year yeah U what do you think again after playing all the golf you got to play last year there important shots on that course I

Remember taking a lot of spin off the ball dead- handed yeah yeah like what is it that nino is it nine or 18 18 a driver yeah but I’m talking I’m talking about coming in the green it’s a chip pins up in the back left yeah that’s a chip okay I’m thinking of

Like uh two three four mhm cuz you get back in there and the wind starts swirling so I don’t want to hit it full bore I want to take some take some dead take some spin-off so and some height yeah okay okay where do you feel like the

Carry is on that right now uh-huh mid 50s okay so let’s go ahead full right at the right at the Target there full height full swing that’d be Max he doesn’t work as well in the mud you want some wet yeah I’ll to wet going a small one now okay now let take

About 8 to 10 off of it it is a little chilly out here a little bit 8 to 10 take 8 to 10 off we soften the height a little bit lovely you see any the ones I hit last week huh did you see any the ones I hit

Last week a few pretty good feel a good one yeah I hit a seven iron from like 165 with no wind I did it was nice just kind of bored right through no there was no wind it’s cuz the pin was all the way back and it was so soft

Really same small one yep small one kind of got hung a little bit there on the way back let’s try that one again give a little room on the right hand side I know it’s trying to push it back to the right a little bit that’s beautiful

Then straighten it back out but that’s awesome basic straight Ball but you got one of those situations that came up where you have a bunker out there pin over it you need to drop it in there right on top of it take it straight up keep it a little

Left had the height think I got to warm up have a couple longer ones anything pop up last week I know the weather conditions were a little bit suspect anything of concern no even with how bad of a draw we got I if I wouldn’t have gotten so many just

Disgusting lip outs I would have still been in the tournament that’s what my spy was telling me who’s your spy can’t give up all my sources I got four texts in a row and four lip outs if that if that’s correct yeah in and out shocking yeah yep the

Ones where you’re about to take a step and pick it up out of the hole and then you get to tap in take another look at it yeah now then straight up all right at the four okay not straight up you don’t want to straight up with this one not yet

Let’s just hit some normal ones and then move it up beautiful beautiful okay now go straight up minimal curve just straight up in a beautiful worry about the wind’s going to push it yeah I was about say wind’s got that one pretty good it’s pretty Breezy up there yeah that was nice

Though very nice no let’s do do another because I want to see the low one too oh boy held that one up against it do what said I held that one up against it that is awesome all right now then down down down down little opening in front of the

Green something you had to do just bring it up through the opening uhoh everybody’s entitled to noops there’s there’s a left one again everybody’s entitled of noops better put a little bit of movement in it this time huh little bit of movement this way left little you say right to left

Mhm wind doesn’t touch it at all it’s not supposed to touch it that height do what it’s not supposed to touch it that I know it I know it I figured it might straighten it up a little all I go the other direction with it but keep it down yeah way down little

Done want that again stock perfect distance stock shot beautiful dead Perfect Balance looks wonderful absolutely balanced up in Rhythm all that good poo poo kind a driver you want well you got you got that look on your face don’t you I got to warm up

Hold got to figure out where I keep all my stuff now this new bag though I mean it looks good it’s got Texas Tech colors on it you know it’s beautiful so does my driver yeah I like that I guess that’ll be punishment for them beating us in basketball twice T

Twice it’s a shame we’re so well coach too yeah we gave you the best coach you you’ve had in a long time well I’m s it’s the truth it’s the truth it’s the first time y’all played defense in 12 years you know and now they can’t score set to hip there you go

You know what did get there you ought to be able to see these balls I see that one guy down there I’ll just is he still standing I’ll just see if he moves I think it’s laying on top are they all the way back I think so yeah just barely left of

Them take it straight to that black pole okay straight through it stock shot right through the black sure you got the hip set bouncy nice I love that is he waving yet no want through the block again or yeah through the black through the black let it leak just your shot okay

Uhoh it’s on him now look like it just yeah he’s kind of standing around watching now look at him I tell you what see look he’s talking to his buddy now hey here’s what you do here’s what you do what’s up you want to hit one high hard one but

Here’s where I want you got room huh no we’re not going that way right there okay right there going to be a little left of our line I’m sure we’ll get the ball back we got these fancy yellow ones now oh I know it I didn’t say when we’d get it
