00:00And I always ask you about weather Keith. I know it's gonna be bad
00:04Tell me how bad is it gonna be and when are we gonna miss golf?
00:07And how are they gonna squeeze it all in?
00:09Well, I'll tell you what
00:10The first thing I'll say is to have the producer mute your mic because it's not gonna be a good reaction from you
00:15I'm telling you right now
00:18Debbie's about to do Greensboro dirty, man. I'm telling you it's not gonna be good
00:22I just I just looked at the forecast before I jumped on with you
00:26They're almost predicting six inches of rain tomorrow during the first round
00:30So basically what that means is that we're not going to get any golf on Thursday
00:33And hopefully the thing the system will wash its way through now
00:37The golf course will be soft
00:38But the weather the rest of the week looks okay even into Monday and I mentioned that because this is the last week
00:45We have to determine the top 70 and FedEx Cup points in order to see who's going to go on to the playoffs next
00:51Week in Memphis for the st. Jude. So this is serious
00:55This is as if it's the players or the Masters. I mean this thing has to happen
00:58They have to do everything in their power to prepare the golf course
01:01It will be soft
01:02It will be wet
01:03But they will be able to play post Thursday and they'll be able to get this thing in as long as you know
01:09There aren't any other future delays or there's no like
01:12Unrepairable damage to the golf course and you never know it with six inches of rain a lot could happen
01:17We've got to keep our fingers crossed but going forward. We've got to figure out who these top 70 are
01:22Tons of rain is gonna make a soft golf course
01:25So what we know going into Wyndham is that we want guys that can hit the fairway
01:29We want guys that are great on approach and we also want great putters
01:32Well, all of those characteristics are only going to be emphasized with the soft conditions
01:39Take for example, you got to hit fairways
01:41Well, guess what if you miss the fairway and I hit the fairway and we're playing lift clean in place
01:46Think of the advantage that I have on approach and if I'm a great approach player with my hand on the golf ball
01:52Creating the lie and cleaning the ball think about how much better
01:54I'm going to be hitting those greens and how much closer I'll be and then when I get there how much closer my putts will
02:00Be because the greens are soft this thing. Whatever you thought coming in just
02:05Double it and those are the guys that we need in order to get the job done and get to the window
