1146: Neil Played Augusta National

Definitely watch in YouTube. The facial expressions when Neil reveals another 3 putt / lip out / etc are very additive.

What an electric recap. So good @MerchCzar !! And I’ll add to the chorus that this one needs to be watched on YouTube. Seeing all the facial reactions as they were hanging every word is just priceless.

Congrats Neil! Sounds like you had yourself a day indeed!

Immediately came to mind as a description of Neil’s round once we got to 15: https://youtu.be/LWx6csgGkg4?si=uRVf02lhi5CScJzb

Thank you for the recap @MerchCzar, cannot overstate how much this lifted me today. If you guys ever think pods like this are silly and meaningless, know that it’s only the former.

The image of @MerchCzar pulling in and out of Augusta National Golf Club in a Nissan Altima was my favorite part of this entire episode.

A close second was having to rewind to make sure I heard correctly that you had 40 putts. Tough scene.

Conditions were in fact tough.

Electric listen. Is the higher ground ball the Obi-Wan Kenoball?

Truly the only place where I want to hear a shot for shot recap of someone else’s round. Great stuff @MerchCzar with how you told the story. ā€œThat’ll cost ya!ā€ and the turtle call outs got me.

Cheers to the boys hanging on every word and loving the interactions.

It sounds like Neil left a lot of room for wow out there and, for that, I’m proud of him. He went about the round the right way. Take on the shots, accept the results, and have a good time regardless.

I’m mentally contrasting this masterclass in storytelling with the ā€œI’m too cool to get excited for thisā€ nature of EAL’s Augusta recap pod back in the day and it goes to show why one group still puts out great content and the other is hocking a RGC credit card.

LOL! That’s probably very true!

ā€œOK, I’m eight over. I’m like, man, I’m going to hit the shots, Randy. That’s my mindset.ā€ Love the mindset from Icarito and his song selection driving down Magnolia Lane.

Shoutout @Cody for the Instagram post with Babyczar’s description. Freaking crushed me this afternoon.

Great, great pod. Loved it. Neil’s storytelling was epic! Thanks for sharing the experience with us.

Icarito airmailing zero greens is one of the great triumphs of the human spirit.

Score was always going to be a million, major sunday greens and pins + Neil’s winter putting was never going to yield good results.

Neil’s story about 15 was the peak for me. Just hit every note.

ā€œI hit the shot!ā€

That storyline was outstanding. Can’t imagine going to Augusta and not listening to the caddy. If he gave me a goofy sounding club I’d almost be even more likely to listen. ā€œOh shit, he must REALLY know something here!ā€

The 15th hole killed me. The Lacrosse bounce!

  1. speed to publish
  2. Most known holes in golf
  3. too many faces/voices in the pod. figured a simple scorebug would do the trick.
  4. Sorry I let you down

I’m so glad you guys pushed this out so soon. Been waiting for this, since it was mentioned that Neil won the lottery.
