You know, sticky, funny little stuff like that.
Byron Nelson, the first time I ever did play-by-play was 1998 or 9.
And it was at the Byron Nelson.
And, you know, Byron comes into the booth.
I'm like, God damn, how did you get here?
You know, from my dad's range, Jordanville Golf Center, sitting next to Byron Nelson.
But there is, you know, there's always a...
It's always a link somehow, some way.
And so when I was young and as the greatest summer job of all time, I hope everybody had a summer job as I did.
I know every kid didn't have a dad who owned a driving range, 30 stalls, fully lighted pitch and putt, 18 holes that was Scottish and it was elite.
And my dad was a 10 handicap.
But he had great instincts.
He was a good businessman.
And I don't think he ever fully appreciated what he did with a shaper, a guy on a bulldozer in the 1950s from Quakertown, Pennsylvania, to make this super cool part three.
I don't think he viewed himself as, you know, as as Alistair McKenzie.
But I can remember every hole.
then we had a miniature golf in a pinball room in a hot dog stand in any event we had an old pro uh at the driving range named frank stocky and frank was a hustler he uh he wrangled five dollar lessons and he was great with beginners and he worked in a battery plant by night and he played the ponies he played the lottery he's the wisdom that he dispensed to the teenage boys who worked at the driving range
always came through the butt end of an unfiltered camel.
And it was wisdom that no priest, mother, father, rabbi, teacher would ever touch.
about the real world.
