- 3
The In-Group Elaboration
The hosts expand on the rule, providing personal anecdotes, using niche jargon, and offering further examples. This deepens the viewer's understanding and reinforces the feeling of being initiated into a secret club.

Here's the sign of a good golfer. I think you're gonna enjoy this, Jack. The good golfer will just say 56. They'll omit the one. No, this is because they don't have that extra microsecond to say the one at the start. You know? I'm not ashamed to admit that the first few times this happened to me, I had to double check with the guy. I said tier. This looks a little longer than that. He's so right. He's so right. Yeah. This is definitely sticks only. Yeah. You get... We got a... It's a 72. Yeah. Yeah. It's a one... We know it's 172. If you're saying the entire number, what's going on? Yeah. You're just wasting time. It's such a thing. Like, when did this start? Yeah. I tell you. It's such a specific rank. And I guess it's good golf. I mean, we... You're a good golfer, well, so you you do this. And, this is just another one of those little subtle sides. But imagine being a new person coming to this game. Yeah. And and, like, you're getting out there. You're walking up the the... They're already up on the par three. You're down there at the bottom. It's, like, number six at our course. Yeah. And they... And they're like, what's the what's the distance? And you're like, it's, 47. Yeah. And they're gonna be like, what? We're using, like, half half half better. What are we using now? It's like knots? 47 yards, kilometers. Like, what's going on? You no? And they they must just be like, whatever. I'm gonna... What are you hitting? And you're like, seven iron. I'm gonna hit five. You know, we're gonna be fine.
