I want to give some context for the video that you’re about to see freea is a movement that I started with a couple of my friends about two weeks ago Josh Hill and Jack Gonzalez got direct evidence that none of us are crazy in Southern California it truly is

Impossible to get tea times at public courses and the reason is there are Brokers snatching up the tea times early now at first we thought they were using Bots but if you watched my last YouTube video video we spoke directly to a broker and he said he just uses his

Fingers there are no Bots involved then we thought does it have to do with senior player cards all of this is very confusing and honestly we still don’t have all the answers the only thing that we do know is that these Brokers are stealing tea times and reselling them on

The black market we call this movement free the te because the t is referring to the T this is where golfers hit their first shot from on every single hole that’s why it’s called a tea time so we want to free the tea times to the public since these are public facilities that

You pay for with your tax dollars everyone in the public paying taxes should have an equal opportunity to book Tea Times impossible to grow the game if we can’t play the game so that’s the whole point of free the tea in my recorded phone call with the scammer

Broker 9:00 a.m. at Rancho came up a lot so some of you guys had mentioned let’s all go to Rancho at 9:00 a.m. so we decided let’s go to Rancho and let’s just give away golf clubs and make golf even more accessible by not only freeing

Tea times to the public but giving them access to golf equipment so they can actually play golf so I posted a video on my Instagram saying what I was giving away and when I was doing it and why I was going to be there I specifically said multiple times on my Instagram that

This was going to be a peaceful Gathering that people just should show up with a positive attitude and we were just going to be there to hang out meet other Southern California golfers and spread awareness about freeing all the tea times that was it pretty simple 7:45 we’re about to go do free

The tea Meetup I have a bunch of stuff in my trunk here come check it out so good her free the tea Ally always be closing two full bags of clubs more than just two sets got a bunch of drivers all these clothes so you guys like speed golf Rob

Marou We Got marou Gear we got Infinity ropes to help you get better at golf uh let’s get it the second that we rolled up to Rancho and the second that we got out of the car we were surrounded by Park Rangers there will be zero exchange of money it’s just giving

Things away to people that need it okay also to the the the golf course yeah is for and the property of the golf course yeah is for clients so you just oh I’m a client I’m definitely a client I’ve been a client for a long time client for today okay or whenever you

Come here you can’t have just all your folks come here and park park the public parks are a public place that anyone is allowed to frequent in the city of Los Angeles you do not need a tea time to be there and you do not need to hit balls

To practice the putting green is open to anyone and free for all this is for the people of LA City this is this is for golfers to get access to golf they seem to be gu by someone working at La City now this is all because I said I’m going to be at

Rancho giving away free golf clubs to people who need it this is just like hey if you need free golf clubs I’m going to give you them just come by I mean are you against giving out free clubs no that’s that’s all it is man it’s not

It’s not meant to be like a protest it’s just we’re literally just meeting up and giving away free clubs if you’re telling me I can’t do do that here as long the only is as long as it’s not interfering with their operations oh 100% as long as

You guys don’t have a tent or a canopy set up okay I mean okay we’ll take it away we’re not I promise you there’s no intent to interfere with any operations whatsoever you organized all those resources to stop me from giving away free clubs instead of stopping these

Brokers now this one thing says a whole lot about where you are spending your time and energy and so if it’s not on stopping these Brokers and making golf more accessible why is it spent on trying to silence me I’m totally peaceful it’s just meant to to yeah I

Just want to give people stuff you know like especially clubs are really expensive I know a lot of people don’t have clubs so just want to make sure people have access to this game we love and honestly like yeah I’m going to give people clubs I hope that they go in and

You know spend money at the driving range book a tea time so I love LA City Golf I love LA City golfers I just want everybody to have access that’s it I don’t want to cause an interruption in service I won’t even go on that side if

It’s cool for me to just hang out can I do it here can I go up against the fence like you tell me where you want me to be for the you know two hours once this stuff is gone I’ll take off I am not an investigative journalist I’m

A golfer and a golf instructor by trade but really my true mission in life is to help people love this game just a little bit more in any possible way that I can all right so we’re going to sit down the ground rolls okay absolutely no tables
