And the more and more I rotate the more the face is gonna stay where?
Open
Okay, I can't get his hands on the right spot because we've dumps it like like Dumbo yeah, it's a problem. He's like Dumpapatamus
How many times this get this up and down out of ten I'm gonna go with the one
Oh my goodness great shot very tight tight tight piece of property
We're making it work. Am I nervous about Icarito driving the RV. Yeah, yeah I am!
SCHUSTER!
No Laying Up was here
In seasons 1 and 2 of this series we visited the far-flung ends of the golfing earth and the place where the game was invented
We knew we wanted season 3 to be domestic here in the United States
And we also knew that we wanted most if not, all of the courses that we visited to be accessible to the public
The first route that stuck out to us was a 400 mile trip up the California coast from Los Angeles to
San Francisco and
as long as we were going to be driving we figured we might as well cram the five of us our clubs
and all of our gear into an RV
Welcome to season three of tourist sauce brought to you by Callaway Golf.
Before we hit the road
We wanted to talk to Patrick Koenig, who at the time had been on an 11-month golf road trip in his RV.
raising money for his RGV Tour
I just love golf trips and love to travel. That's like I don't know a best way to play see all these courses
I want to see across America cuz there's a ton you guys know. It's gotta be in an RV and so it kind
Of snowballed into things like that and let's bring in the first tee. That was February of last year
so we're 11 months now.
beautiful sunny
Southern California
Thought The Rockies would be a little rocky than this guys had a great breakfast
Then we saw this guy on a hoverboard getting coffee, which was a real treat
Have either of you been in an RV? No Never. I've been in an RV Many times. All right. We're here in the rig
It's 32 feet longer 3.2 Feet long. Advanced team has picked up the package and we're gonna head north
We're going 20 miles an hour
I feel like we are going 100mph right now. They're throwing all the variables at us. That's the rub of the green!
This slide-out piece broke the AC broke in the middle of summer, which was good at times
The water if you turn on the hot water heater, it smells like eggs. That's the fun one. That door broke
Pretty much like every hinge in here is broke at least one one point time thirty to forty minutes. okay.
Hey, man, we know LA traffic. That's all right. Is he on the 405?
He's on the 405 at this time of day. It's gonna be jammed. What's that?
It's a tight squeeze in there
There's not as much storage as I anticipated. I can't really overstate how much gear we have
It's a there's prejudice against RV people you get through the looks from the guys when you're pulling in the country clubs there in priceless
Okay, we'll see you soon.
Tron was zoning out almost hit an oil tanker...Crisis averted.
So, yeah, I'm nervous
I'm like am I nervous about Icarito driving?
An RV. Yeah, can I admit that?
Yeah, I am because I didn't get a will or I don't have that much stuff to give away. That shouldn't be an issue
It's pretty much off. It's pretty much all here
Have you done the pacific coast highway? How would ya rate that from an RV perspective? It's good man.
It's all right driving. Can you tell Soly that? he's a little concerned. You know, you'll be fine
Who do you thinks gonna be driving when they pull up?
Tron, older brother Tron I think. responsible brother Tron. Whoever is driving first is the Alpha
Oh My God, it's enormous! Gentlemen!
Good To See You!
What's up Dog. How's it been to drive? You know what it's like a U-haul. Sunny California. I'll tell ya what. The weather has STUNK!
So this entire wall
slides out. All right, don't worry. Let's get out of here where we going. Yeah. Welcome
Neil, Welcome to Pro Traj Holdings all these. Hey, thanks guys
Nice to jump on board. I think Eric Schmidt once told Sheryl Sandberg
When you have the chance to get on a rocketship, You don't ask what seat, you just get on.
I'm locked out of my Google email. It doesn't exist anymore
I don't exist anymore. TV up there.
There's an outdoor TV. We could get an N-64 and play video games.
What's your N-64 game of choice?
Tony Hawk pro skater, blahhhhh!
I was never really a gamer though. Soly care to tell everybody your secret. Well now that you brought it up
Listen, I used to I used to game a little bit. I used to have some NCAA game
And that's how Tron and I became friends. It's true. I actually went down the hallway
Soly only ran one play
He just knew how to run one play. No, I ran variations of one play if he's tried to stop one thing,
I beat you but no I beat you with the variations of one play guy. Oh
You're a one play guy? That's scummy. That's rich fryer style
Santa Monica boys swim out past the breaker and watch the world die!
Gonna be a tight squeeze
High and Tight in Uncle Juice Country
Let's go let's go find you some food big guy
Hungry, we're headed to West Lake Golf Course
Which is where George Gankas sets up shop and we're gonna get some work on our swings before the week-long competition
What are we looking? What are we looking for from Gankas?
speed. All about speed
I want to go fast. Daddy. speed kills. Randy how's the state of your game
Shitty, I haven't been on plane in over 2 years. So everything is inside and shallow
I feel like we're going to one of those holistic healers
To Fix Randy's Swing.
This is what they did with the Andy Kaufman
Talk to us about this golf course for someone who has never see? It's just an amazing course. Nah, just kidding
Am I on camera? Sh*T, haha, ok.
No, unauthorized party, you think that means us
They can't tow us with it in it that makes it a kidnapping charge
Better bring a big tow truck for us. It's a cool beater course. It's like 67 as par 67
It's I mean, it's a good driving range in a good area that's on mats
It's not what most people are gonna think as a tour coach. It's what people call pretty shitty. But I mean, I like it
It's cool. It's it's for me. It's freedom. Randy, are you nervous
You know, how would you like people to just laugh at you?
They do all the time. That's our business model.
Still it still hurts inside a little bit. I started late first off
I was a wrestler volleyball player played pretty much a lot of different sports, but I didn't want to be a teacher
No, I just loved the golf swing. So I wanted to play I did it for myself
I caddied for like random people at Sherwood Country Club. Just like members. Actually, it's funny
Janet Gretzky is one of the first ones that I started caddying for and
Just started. Like everybody was asking me questions about the golf swing, and I said I might as well make some money.
Is this to Protect your head in the RV
Big guy get a bump. Ya, I knocked my noggin. Sum up Neil's golf game for us erratic. spontaneous.
It's for the magic happens, you know what I'm saying, as they say in the Rigarito!
A lot of Gumption.
lot of effort
but he
Needs a little lesson from Gankas. That's why we're here. This is the new shaft
but it doesn't have the baseball grip on it that I like. I like it to feel like I'm in the batting cages.
Hips hips. squash the bug. Hands through the zone!
What's your goal? I haven't had a lesson in I don't know 10 years. Yeah, so I mean
All natural. Yeah, if he can, give me like one thing to think about
Just one though, like if it's two or three, I'm in trouble. I don't think I really have a style
I just think that you know, everybody's different and I treat everybody different you came to me wanted to draw
And I liked your swing when I saw it. So if you want something, I'm going to give it to you
How tall are you? 6'8" a lot can go wrong at the top of the backswing. It's funny people actually get nervous to take
A lesson.
So first thing that I'm looking at is your balance points
I would say I'd get them over the balls of your feet the wider I get. I get the shorter I go
Okay
So if you're really narrow
You're gonna have to bend over then all of a sudden if I bend over I can't stay in this in turn
I'm gonna have to stand up to the ball. So it's really there were a lot of good stuff you're doing
I think there's you have the easiest fix in the planet who's gotta stick?
An alignment stick? Yeah. hold on...
Randy I
Wish I had like a hundredth of the confidence that he has. Why did you end up coming here? Money.
Yeah
because I knew this for the money with that and now I don't even teach many people from this area cuz I have people from
All over the world who are somewhat players you work with people with them. Um on the PGA Tour Sung Kang
Danny Lee, Park McLaughlin
And then I got a couple guys I can't even tell you because it's gonna be sick! You guys I'll find out soon enough
Matt Wolfe
Akshay's the number one junior in the world
sheesh, there's so many guys that I work I can't remember. I probably work with honestly a thousand people.
I just don't see them every week and you can also see your right arm is really trapped behind your body
Why is that? Well, that's what that's what I feel. Okay. So that's a byproduct, right?
so if my face is open what am I going to do? I'm going to throw bounce at it.
I'm just gonna throw balance at it right and what you're doing is from under and
You know if this is open do you think you're gonna hold turn start the whole thing do you think you're gonna turn that's where
You're gonna slow down. I slow down and that's your issue
This is homemade, I don't buy one of those because I'll tell you what
it's bullshit okay. So here we go. If you look here and I put this on and I say, okay
I want to put this here and see this is the same angle as my back.
so if I went to the top I want to make sure that this is touching if this is touching do you think I'm gonna
Actually slow down
No, I'm gonna actually keep turning. Okay. I found religion and he put his hands on me
And he like radically changed the way I felt and swung the club it was
Sounds like Jesus Christ.
It was a religious experience
As soon as I get in the ground, yeah, but if I'm already here
My whole thing's gonna move it up if there was a golf bag behind me right here
The first thing I'd do is I'd get in the ground and I jump right over it
Behind it back, right? Okay, so we're not doing that in the golf swing. But if I actually went like this when I jump from here
could I jump from here. No, right? There's no other position
We do except for where be spread here if I was gonna uppercut somebody or anything like that
So it's the same thing that you have to speak conceptual a lot of people take my stuff think they're doing my stuff
But they're not even close how many of you guys that I teach leg work the way people think I do? anybody? not one.
Okay, but I will if you want it , and you want more speed.
So, it depends on what you want.
Randall! Nice shot! He's fixed!!
Just a chippy cut and then you can start taking the back farther
Honestly felt like I already knew my shit a long time ago
But I didn't I mean I felt like I did from the very start I had confidence in what I was doing, you know
I already had a lot of good players before
Anybody even knew who I was but it was all local
So now it's cool that it's more, you know, more worldwide. A lot of people know I am and that brings, you know
It's more fun for me
stick on turn
Randy's on plane!
Guys got such a good life force. It was cool. Just like watch him be in flow in the moment
I thought I loved golf and George Ganka's loves golf and teaching golf more than I could have imagined loving golf
He's got mad speed dude. He does. I thought we were gonna like get like a crash course lesson
He spent like 45 minutes with Randy and like just dipping him into the water and baptizing him over and over and over again
But the most amazing thing I've ever experienced
So I look and I like your setup, I mean that's as good as a lot of players right there
That's as good as a lot of players right there
There's just too much stop to the bottom, I think there's a little too much pinching here
you can actually get a lot more speed which is pretty scary. sick.
There's not very much rotation, so I got you to rotate right now you cut it even more
So let's find out what's going on with your actual swing direction
Okay, so the first thing is look where your armpits are up your they on your toes or your your heels toes toes
Okay, so there's not one person the whole planet that can stay on their toes and stay in their angle
And if they do they're not rotate. I've never had a golf experience like it really
I feel like I didn't even do my job cuz I want you to be flushing it. So I think that you could do you
Can give you're way better. Where are we sleeping?
sleeping at the golf club. Westlake golf course.
Where not doing the cards thing. That's how the metallica guy died.
Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot...DJ!
Cuz we didn't do the cards thing. Yeah, that's how the guy from Metallica dies
They were doing this game and make drew cards and he took the top bunk it he Paper Scissors shoot
I'll do one of the catacombs. Okay bottom catacomb
Top bunk.
Okay, but I'm just telling you I'm gonna take the bed
Brother! It's you and me, just like it always is!
You see how Randy's feet are off the bed good thing that thing expands out
Listen, we're living like kings compared to strapped
Today was extremely long
For the 19 hour day or so
It's been a day of transition a day of enlightenment
But I think there's a lot going on up here that he's trying to process so
I think that that'll be all from us
We're gonna try to get some sleep here in the parking lot and hope nobody wakes us in the middle of the night
We get a good night's sleep and we'll hit it again tomorrow. All right. Good night. Hey, boys. Good night
Goodnight....
This is the deal today, what's the game this is qualifying three rounds of qualifying. this is Q school. What's the highest tilt you've ever been on?
