00:00Then play Turnberry Ailsa in the afternoon and golly, man, like, here's the best way.
00:09And this is, I also started giving shout outs to the caddies along the way. So Derek was
00:12on the bag. Derek had to watch me make a mess of this place. To me, this place reminded
00:17me in terms of feel when you're playing it to Pine Valley. And let me describe why this
00:22is where, sorry, this is Turnberry Ailsa. Oh, so dual in the side. So Turnberry, what
00:28are you calling it? Turnberry what? Ailsa. Is that is that different from another? Yes.
00:33Turnberry Trump one. That's that's correct. So it's Trump Turnberry is the whole resort.
00:39And then there's Turnberry Ailsa. And then there the second course, I think it's called
00:42King Robert the Bruce. Oh, it used to be called Kintyre. Is Ailsa the the main? Ailsa is the
00:48main that's hosted numerous open championships, dual in the sun. Stewart Sink and Tom Watson
00:542009. Like it was in all these places. You go to these incredible. It is gorgeous. I'll
01:00share. I'll share this photo I have up with you right now. The ninth hole is like their
01:03version of Cyprus, right? There you go. Ninth hole right in front of you. Oh, my gosh. Is
01:08the wind off the left that way? So this was a wind off the left a smiley. I had so many
01:15space balls. I I took I was aiming off this T like almost left of the lighthouse and still
01:22ended up right of the green. The last open they had there was oh, six. Is that right?
01:27Oh, nine. Oh, nine. That was the Stewart Sink. Tom Watson. So tell me, is it a shame that
01:33they'll never go back? Is it's the Trump thing. Is that why? It is the Trump thing. And here
01:39here is let me just be very shame, right? Because let me be such a it looks amazing.
01:45Let me be very clear about this. I have there's no political assignment to this. In fact,
01:50I am the furthest you'll find from someone who is politically inclined. Like, I just
01:55want to enjoy good golf, talk about good golf, play good golf. For all the of the the grief
02:00that Trump catches, like I'll say pros and cons here. Cons are I think this place, the
02:06sort of infrastructure around it has grown a little too ornate for a course that has
02:10such a rich and deep open championship history, right? Like it's a little bit too fancy compared
02:15to some of the nicer or the the other history steeped clubs you go to and you see the cool
02:20clubhouses and Prestwick is such a great example of just you walk and you're like, wow, this
02:24feels like history. Now, the pros, your field, probably same way. Well, your feels probably
02:30same way. What Trump has done with this course, you know, whether it's him or an extension
02:34of who's got working for him is so brilliant in terms of taking it back. They got a bunch
02:38of 1950s era aerial photos and took it back to that sort of version of the course. And
02:44it's brilliant. I mean, it's just it's where they moved greens out for some of these sort
02:48of scenic positions, you know, over the water away from like a lot of the greens were pulled
02:53further back. And now they're in these more dramatic locations. It's it's a it's a brilliantly
02:59designed a routed golf course. And I think that that sometimes it gets lost in the ownership
03:05whose names on it, you know, it to me, I don't think that's fair. It's like, I'm just trying
03:09to evaluate a golf course on its merits. And I'd say yes, it is a shame the opens not come
03:13back. Now, part of that might be, you know, travel and location, how do you get there?
03:19And what's the infrastructure and all that sort of stuff? It is a little bit out of the
03:22way. But I'd say in terms of just a sheer evaluating a golf course in a vacuum, this
03:28place is unbelievable. And so I'd say it looks unbelievable.
