Speaker 1 (00:04):
Michael has been stutting up on his golf stuff and
you have a question.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
As best as I can.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Yeah, So you know, we're going through some of the
famous members here, and I'm scrolling down. Some of these
I can understand, but there are two on here that
I don't A gentleman by the name of Jeff knox
yep and then Michael I'm assuming it's McDermot armitt, Yes,
but they are just one is his, the past marker
(00:30):
and the current marker. Yeah, one former Masters marker, and
then the other one is widely reported as current Master's marker.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
All right, if there is an odd number of players
in the field, and it's for Saturday and Sunday only,
because they play in groups of three on Thursday and Friday,
and then when they make the cut, the Masters, I
believe is top forty in ties and maybe thirty six
and ties, but I think it's top forty and ties
or forty five ties, whatever their cut is, they make
(01:00):
the cut if there is an odd number of players,
because on the weekend they all play in groups of
two or pairings as they call it. So if there's
an odd number, that means there's a player that's not
going to have somebody playing with them, and it's usually
whoever is last in the field does not have somebody
to mark their scorecard because you can't mark your own scorecard.
(01:21):
If you and I were playing in a tournament, I
would keep your score, you would keep my score, and
then I would verify that the scorecard is correct and
we would both sign it and then go on from there. Well,
Jeff Knox did this for years, and now Michael McDermott
does this, and they're members of Augusta. They're always at
the tournament and they're the best amateur players in the club.
(01:41):
Ah and so they become the marker and they get
to play. They actually play the golf course because you
don't just want to walk around with the player and
keep his score.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You need to keep us a pace.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
They want you to set the pace, and they want
you to play in around four hours. And if you're
the first group out there, they want somebody that's a
good player that's not going to shoot one hundred and
five on the golf course and get in the way
of a pros trying to just get through the last
two rounds. But that person keeps the pro scorecard. The
amateur score card doesn't really matter, and at the end
(02:13):
of the tournament, at the end of the round, the
pro has to verify that the card was mark correctly
and then both sign it and then that court that
score counts.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Okay, all right, remind me again old courses win for you.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
It'll be it's the trip.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
May twenty third is when I'm leaving May twenty third
till a June fourth.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
So the reason I ask that is for those who
don't know, because I've always asked Andy every single year
he keeps getting the email, you know, thanks for applying,
but not this year. Applications to open for next year's
Masters is June first through June twentieth, so that's when
the apple.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I got a great idea. I will reply to the
email while I'm in Scotland.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I'm at the Old Core and I.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Will I will make sure that it's on a UK
server so they'll actually say, yes, he's gonna fly all
away from England.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
We got to give it from Scotland. Yeah, we gotta
let him in.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Add a picture as an attachment and be like, hey, look,
I'm on fifteen at the Old Course at Seams.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
They don't care about attachments, attachments get deleted. It's it's
all about it's all allegedly a blind draw. I use
the word allegedly in quotes. A tradition like no other.
Is the email that Andy gets every single year. Well
I'm not alone because it goes out to about thirty
thousand people. And it's like you can now apply for
(03:38):
online master's credentials and of the thing. And they and
they are really strict about this too, because like if
I apply for credentials, I mean but for a tickets, uh,
and I win, then no other member of my family
can also win if they live in the same house
or they it's it's very that they're really good about
(04:00):
making sure they know how to.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Check all this stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
First.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
They're Augusta. They they're better than the CIA. They certainly are. Yeah,
they're and they're probably more secretive. Yeah, they wouldn't actually
send an email to the wrong person exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
By the way, I was looking at ticket prices, they're
fairly cheap.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Of course they are.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
It's like sixty five bucks, like wish we were talking
about in how everything nowadays, you know, you go to
Starbucks and it's like ten dollars for coffee over there.
You know it's off these two dollars dollars a soft
drink two dollars. The most expensive thing on the menu
is wine, wine for six bucks. Six bucks, and you're like, well,
(04:39):
six dollars for wine would be thirty at an NBA game.
It's probably still really really good wine.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Though it'd be thirty dollars in an NBA game and
it wouldn't be good wine.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, it's not box wine that they're probably. I don't
know what they don't. I don't know what they serve,
what type of wine, but I wouldn't. I'm not a
wine connoisseur, so I wouldn't know either. But no, the
Michael McDermott has the plus two handicap.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Understand this.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Michael McDermott runs a financial company in Pennsylvania, so it's
not like he lives in Augusta.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Most of the members don't live there.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
A lot of a lot of the members are out
of town ers who come in whenever they feel like it.
It's not their primary club, it's their secondary club. But
primary and secondary or relative.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
When you're that wealthy.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And golfers with your snootiness, well we're all snobs.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
We're not afraid to admit it either. Of course, It's
part of being a golfer. I mean, the first sign
of a problem is admitting it.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Correct exactly. The first stage of the first stage of
a meeting that you have a problem is acceptance.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
So I play golf, I like things a certain way.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Many of you may think it's being a snob, but
that's what we do, so what you do.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
We're going to go from there, all right.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
More on on Florida and Houston, major League Baseball news,
and some other stuff coming up.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
