More info at besantmotors.com. What's happening, Donnie? How you doing, man?
Okay. I'm a heavy hay fever sufferer.
Oh, no.
It's really bad out there. Like today is not bad because it's raining, but the weekend was horrible.
Oh, that's brutal.
Yeah. So, you know, when you've got walls of drugs dedicated to hay fever sufferers like myself, and I had it worse when I was a kid, you know, something's up. It's really bad right now. Oh, that's brutal. So shout out to all those people out there who are like me.
So what did you do on the weekend?
What are the implications of the Canucks being voted the worst run organization?
Just kind of hole up on the couch and watch Rory stumble his way to back-to-back majors? Masters?
That would have happened no matter what. It was so good. It's just so dramatic. And I think, you know, as good as they are, the golfers on the PGA Tour or LPGA Tour, there's so many times... even during an event in masters when they're at their, where they just seem so human and they screwing up and we can all relate to it. And then they bounce back. It just, it just such great drama. And that certainly was the case Saturday and Sunday.
Well, Justin Rose chunked one on his chip on, I think 11 or 13 around there. And I was watching, I was like, Oh, he's just like me.
Yeah. Oh, it's just, it's just, it's so great to watch and so agonizing and, We can relate to it, and yet we can't, you know, because the stage is so big and they're so darn good.
How does the team plan to approach the upcoming draft?
But there are those moments where, okay, they're actually human, and it just makes the entertainment even better.
No, honestly, I think some of the funniest human moments came from Hao-Tung Lee, who talked about he was on the toilet. He was living on the toilet for the weekend, and then he had that shot where... I don't know what happened. He just hits it into the water and bounces off. That guy looks like me being nervous on a weekend as well. And it's just amazing how that stage can reduce people to their most novice moments in the sport. And I think that's why Rory deserves so much credit because you think when you kind of fall back, you're down two shots, Cam Young's taking over, Justin Rose is nipping at your heels. You had a chance to put this away on Saturday and you didn't. And he still had the mental fortitude to come through.
And I just think that speaks so highly to having the mental strength to go through those ups and downs, which can't be easy under that pressure.
I don't think like any other sport either. And not just Sunday, Seth, but also just having that record six-stroke lead after two rounds, going into Saturday and then shooting a 73, which, of course, we'd all kill for. But for him, that's not very good.
What are the standout prospects for the Canucks in the draft?
And to be able to recover from that on Sunday, which was also completely up and down, It's just really admirable. It's just great entertainment. And the visuals are so good. It's just so old school. You know, with Mark Kalkovecchia getting thrown off the course because he used his phone earlier in the week and just stuff like that. It's really, really special. And, you know, I think for us here in Canada, because of our weather, Maybe not so much down there because they get better weather earlier, but it just signifies not just the start of golf season, but the start of better weather, although you wouldn't know by today, the better weather coming.
