00:00I
00:02Have some clutch gene questions about Aaron Rye, maybe if any English pod listeners out there, you know, if you can give me the
00:10British equivalent of the clutch gene conversation, whatever you do over there
00:14That's that's usually like a soccer footy discussion
00:17By the way
00:17Congrats all the England fans for making it through to the the quarters of the euros on a last last gasp
00:23Goal there by Bellingham. There's a sweet bike bicycle kick Jude Bellingham. Very good. Very very good at the footy
00:30But anyway, yes, please chime in if you have a clutching equivalent, but I mean it was it was tough
00:35He did he did pull out a driver off the deck China was enthralling
00:42It was awesome for somebody that's a
00:45Driver off the deck connoisseur, you know, that's it is always the flavor of the month for me is the the driver
00:51Whenever I can a lot of times now as much as I've struggled with the swing over the last couple years
00:57I'll just throw the golf ball right on the ground on the tee because it's kind of high off proof for me
01:02You know, I have to I have to wait on it
01:04I have to let the club square up and I hit it as straight as I can with that club, but I wouldn't pull it
01:11necessarily on a
01:13Somewhat forced carry or if I have to turn it over that much because that brings in the chunk
01:20And if anybody that's ever in a driver off the deck if you try to turn something over with it the chunk is in play
01:27So his shot that he hit from I don't know what the number was
01:31It was somewhere in the 270 to 290 range and skirts it around that little pond
01:38Unbelievable shot the stones were to pull off the shot was sick
01:43But Aaron ride just your point today Charlie from watching him all day
01:48He kind of got gypped because
01:51he he was built for a day like today and just didn't have his normal stuff teeter green and
01:58Also, I think that was yeah, go ahead. Sorry
02:01well
02:01I mean
02:01I just think that I was watching with my dad and you know
02:04who doesn't you know watch a ton of our air rise shockingly and was just
02:09talking about the fact that I picked him and everything and
02:12It was just my feeling was this guy's usually one of
02:16The best iron players on tour and he's kept missing approach shot after approach shot and kind of to your point
02:22It's like he's usually not a great putter
02:24But he's usually very accurate off the tee and usually just you know
02:28Go, you know can can flag it almost every time on his approaches and when you're not doing both of those things
02:32Yeah
02:33it's gonna be tough to win a golf tournament when you got a bunch of other guys at the top of the leaderboard who can
02:37Score and so yeah tough for all that the hashtag ride guys out there today, but we'll be back soon. We will be back soon
