What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Previously on the Tony Kornheiser Show.
No, but slow play is bad.
Yeah, it drives people nuts.
Slow play is bad. You know, if I owned the golf course and there was slow play, I would walk out with a checkbook and I would say, how much money did you pay to be initiated into this golf club? I'm writing you a check. Get off this course and never, ever walk here again.
This is General George Washington and you're listening to To the Tony Kornheiser Show.
And if you think that is harsh, if you think I'm the only one who would do something like that, we have this email from our friend Jeff Pickett, who says, Your check-writing solution to slow play made me think of Bob Parsons, a PXG fan. PXGs are those clubs. We only sell them ourselves. They're the best clubs. You know, PXG clubs. A lot of pros use PXG clubs. Legend has it that at Scottsdale National Golf Club, which is owned by Parsons, of which Wilbon is a member, it is owned 100% by Parsons. We have to play that short par three course. Yeah. There is a policy by which one member is voted out every year. Presumably, this could be for slow play or other boorish behavior. Here's the kicker. The voting includes club members and staff.
Would love to see this standard applied at other one percenter hangouts. Also, it begs the question, if this were the standard of Columbia, how would you fare? I think I'd stay because I play fair. Yeah. I mean, I play fast and I'm chatty and I don't throw clubs. I'm not, you know, I don't have any disciplinary problems. I don't get drunk, you know, in the course. You know, I'm pretty good. Right. I'm pretty good. Yeah. Played 18 yesterday.
I just love I love that you assume everyone plays at a private club. Would you pay? Would you pay for your initiation? Here's the check.
Oh, well, no. I mean, well, I would do it at a public course. How much for the day round? Here's the money. And here's an extra 10. Get out. Slow play. Get out.
Two prices. Play under $345. You get a discount. Play over. Oh, sure.
That'd be fine. That'd be fine. So, you know, I played yesterday. I was so fortunate yesterday. It has been raining in Washington, not heavy rain, but significant rain and significant drizzle covering, I don't know, 16 or 18 of the 24 hours of the day in the last three or four days, right?
Fair to say. A heaviness hangs in the air. Yeah. But to be fair, through the first four months of the year, we were in a pretty significant drought.
So, you know, I'm okay with it, but I never thought they would let carts out of Columbia yesterday. Yeah. And I got the email in the morning, course conditions, said no restrictions. I didn't trust it. I called the course, called the pro shop. They said, better get over here in a hurry. You never know when they're going to lift it and put the restrictions back on. And I got to play all 18 yesterday. We played in two hours and 53 minutes. 18 holes, four guys in carts. And it was lovely. And when I was coming, 15 is a blind tee shot. It's an up tee shot. You get to the crest of a ridge. I can't hit it over the ridge. Can't even hit it to the top of the ridge anymore. And then you have a shot facing down. you know, into a green, into like a bowl green.
And who do I see as I come up? I've just hit my second shot, which I thought was a really good shot. I was going to bounce up. Yeah, I thought it was going to get on the green. I liked it a lot. Hit a five rescue. Who do I see but my son in the sand trap area?
Practicing. Yeah, practicing. Dad's wearing his full beanie. It warmed up by that time, but you are cold on the golf course. And he gave me the full Forrest Gump wave.
So I was so happy to see him. It made me so happy. And it was a wonderful morning. It was a totally unexpected morning. We have something to play for you. We got this from Rich Johnson, who writes, I'm not sure exactly what the crowd was chanting about two-thirds of the way through the second quarter of the Seattle-DC XFL playoff game. Was that in D.C. by any chance? Yeah, it was. Okay. Because D.C. plays an Audi field, a 20,000-seat stadium that usually hosts the soccer and sells it out.
