What it's like when a regular guy plays Shinnecock
Yeah. I mean, I don't no, man. It's just It seems like I I would have a tough time stopping a putter on it. So I'm just gonna try to bump it into the hill. And I know that's terrible decision. Look at that. Look at that. Stop. Oh my Good. What am I supposed to do? Oh my God. Look at it. No way. No way. Stop. I just couldn't have hit it any better. There's no stopping it. Dude, that that took a minute and a half. It's a bloodbath. So good. Better be a kick in. Yeah. Normally, I would say it's good. Alright. It's a triple.
