Well the operations Boise Open is
one of the most popular events
here in the Treasure Valley,
inviting some of the best
golfers in the entire world.
They go head to head right
here in our community.
Plus this event has a special place in the
heart of Idaho today because our producer,
Daniel's brother David is
actually competing in the open.
We're super excited and so happy
that you can make time to be here.
Yes, OK so David would love to know.
Give us an idea of what it's like a day
in the life of a professional golfer.
Well, it's funny.
Because we have two different
time schedules like I could tee
off in the morning really early,
or I could tee off in the
afternoon so it kind of depends.
I could wake up at 3:00 in the morning.
I could wake up at 8:00 in the
morning just depending on what
kind of time my tee time is and so.
Stretch in the morning.
I do all all my you know stuff
to get ready activation stuff and
then go to the course and do it.
Just a normal kind of just it's my
job so I'm there for seven or eight
hours practicing a little bit before
and after and then just go home and
rest and get ready for the next day.
So we've been on the road for 22 weeks.
This year I'll be on the road for
roughly between 30 and 35 weeks all year,
so a lot of traveling.
Very thankful to do it though
and be here in Boise.
Yes. And we're so happy and excited
to have you here, but your life then
literally revolves around golf. Yeah.
And I know later you said that after this,
you're gonna go and do a a
little practice course. Right?
So. So you're not off.
You're not off your job today. You know,
you just made time to come talk to me.
You're still going to go
out and hit the green. OK.
So now the Boise Open is actually a
part of the Korn Ferry Tour event.
Right.
But for some of our viewers,
including myself,
explain the difference between the
Korn Ferry Tour and the PGA Tour.
Yes. So the Korn Ferry tour.
I tell people is like AAA baseball.
OK, so it's the step right below the
major leagues and the some of the
best players in the world are here.
I, I believe truly that it's the second
best tour in the world and you guys are
gonna get to see a lot of really good
golf this week which I'm excited about
and hopefully I can be one of those
players that's playing pretty well.
Obviously. Be rooting for you.
That's I mean, I think that's
a given and recently too.
I mean this is super exciting,
but you want a tournament a
few weeks ago in Missouri,
which was a pretty big deal.
Tell us about that.
It was really cool.
I was two strokes up going into
the last round and ended up winning
by six shots and so wow I think
it was the biggest winning margin
this whole year and I was on the
outside looking in getting into
this event and getting into these
final three events and so winning
that event and cementing my place
in these last three events was a
big deal and it was my second win.
So very very excited and very happy
to be in these last three and get my
chance to have a PGA Tour card this fall.
Yes, that's super exciting.
And I can tell you that when you,
when that happened when you won,
especially by the margin that you did,
yeah, there was a lot of excitement
here in the KTV studios in Idaho today,
in particular from your brother.
He was just a shout from the rooftops.
All right so.
But how excited are you though to be here
in Boise and be competing at the Open
Boise is one of my favorite
events all season.
We go to a few tournaments out
West Lake, Utah and Colorado,
but this is one of the cooler places
I like to fly fish a lot and so
I brought all my stuff out here
and so hopefully to catch a few.
This in the meantime, excellent.
No, it is really cool and we're lucky
to be out here in such a cool place.
Yeah, well, we're super excited to
have you and we'll be rooting you on
if people want to attend and they want
to root you on and see you in person.
But then also too.
Maybe follow your career path.
Where do they go? What do they
do? They can look on the PGA Tour app.
I also have social media.
It's David Coker 21. But yeah,
you guys can follow PGA Tour.
Apps are great place and would
love for you guys all to come out
excellent OK and everyone
stick around because.
We're not done with David just yet.
At the end of the show,
he's gonna give some
Professional Golf advice.
We're gonna be putting here in studio, right?
Alright, OK, I'll do my best.
He's obviously gonna be amazing
so you don't want to miss
that we'll be right back.
