My boy came with the hat.

That's all I got.

He's got a great hat, but you know what I mean?

I at least had to come with one golf accessory.

So, yeah.

Bishop Gilmore in the building for sure.

To my right, my dog, Young Nacho.

Young Teague, how you what out here, man?

Live golf is always a turned-up environment.

I'm hyped today.

Listen, man, we having a great experience, man.

So it's all you're right, man.

We got a tour guy with us, man.

He got a lot of NBA experience and some lived golf experience with us at.

We got Christian Crossing, man, the one, Ollie, Big Dog.

Appreciate you sliding on us, man.

Thank you for having me, man.

I got to say, I love what y'all do.

I'm really happy to be a guest on the show.

And I'm more excited to talk to y'all about live golf.

Thank you for having me.

Most of us have some fun, man.

Listen, man, it's hot out here.

It's hot.

It's hot.

It's definitely hot.

I saw y'all walking in, by the way, when y'all first came in.

I thought y'all were one of the golfers because all the fans was crowded around y'all giving y'all high fives.

Yes, what's up, man?

I was like, oh, who's that?

I looked over and I was like, who's that?

Until they seen a swing.

It all went back to normal.

Man, you started off the right way.

The walk-in is so crazy.

You know what I'm saying?

You walk through here.

It's like, we all go to Russell.

We love WWE.

They walk down the ramp, you get the attention here.

You see that VIP line down there?

Yeah, it's crazy.

Did y'all check out the party hole yet?

No, I'm ready for it, man.

You said, yeah, so you went by yourself.

No, I saw it.

You ain't got the experience yet.

I've seen the clips before.

I'm ready to have that chance to be a part of it.

It gets really crazy.

The energy here is insane.

It's unlike any vibe that you've ever seen out.

Obviously, basketball, right?

I come from a basketball experience.

I've been the interina host for the Philadelphia 76ers since 2008.

Wow.

Which is crazy.

It was like one of AI's last seasons, working my way up for the NBA.

I've seen you on the court getting cooked by my sixers a million times.

I don't know who y'all talk about.

I probably was getting cooked.

But yeah, no, coming from a basketball background into golf, I didn't personally know what to expect because I'm kind of like, y'all, I didn't have a golf history.

When I got here, I was a little nervous, but I was surprised to see that not only the people that work here, but the fans, the players, and the atmosphere is very similar.

This is like the this is the golf version of the NBA for sure.

Oh, damn.

Like the energy, if you hear right now, the music is blasting.

Like the energy just here is a lot different, which is crazy.

And personally, first shout out to everybody from the production team to the people who got us here, the accommodations.

You can tell this is like, hey, you're done with hack back right here.

Give me all hand.

Come on.

Yeah, for sure.

Sit out there and that's what I'm talking about.

Hospitality experience.

Yeah.

On the walk-in, what's crazy.

You've been experiencing, man.

This is what they do every stop.

Yeah.

So the thing is, we have party holes.

We have the players with their walk-out songs.

They quite literally, just like baseball, walk out to songs that they select.

So you're going to get a completely different type of energy.

It's 54 players.

It's 13 teams.

It's three tournaments.

But as you can see, like the fans are different.

30% of our fans that show up here are not golf fans.

They're new to the sport of golf.

You're going to see black people, white people, families, strollers, babies crying.

Like it's a different energy.

I saw y'all with Taylor Gooch earlier.

You see how close you get to the players and the energy, how it just, it's more like a family kind of vibe here, which is pretty, pretty special.

Let's have some fun with this.

Walk outside, B.N., what you picking?

Probably for NATO, Chief Keith.

Okay, you come out to Chief Keith?

Yeah.

Not y'all, what you're coming out to.

I'm probably going to come out to hustling like my boy DJ did, man.

That was pretty dope.

He became my my favorite golfer because of that.

All right.

Oh, wow.

What's your talk?

I'm gonna have to go and turn my swag on by Soldier Boy.

That's baby?

Yeah, that's my own.

That's what I'm saying.

My swag on by Soldier Boy.

That's my damn thing.

Somebody's gonna take that.

How'd you join?

Respect the big soldier.

For me,

he took my chief teeth, man.

I'm gonna have to hop in with the Rich Homie Kwan, you know what I'm saying?

To walk in, join.

You know what I'm saying?

You see the vibes.

So, so, who do y'all like?

Who do y'all got your eye on?

Who are we looking at?

Oh, shout out to my boy Bryson.

You know, we like

Max and the Shambo.

For sure, man.

That was my guy.

Yeah,

Joaquin.

Yeah, Joaquin Naheem.

And my boy.

What did you say?

Joaquin Naheem.

Taylor Goose.

That's why I got my money on the dollar.

Okay, all right.

So the storyline is pretty interesting.

Joaquin Neiman is going head-to-head with John Ron.

John Ron.

Defending champion, 2024 individual champion.

Now, Joaquin Neiman was in the same situation last year and lost to John.

Now, this year, he's leading the way.

They're going head-to-head this week.

And Joaquin Neiman is, he's like a young John Morant.

Okay.

He's like a rising star.

He's really explosive, but he's got that poise.

It feels like he's been in the league a lot longer than he has because he belongs.

So this is a big week for your boy.

What is it?

What'd you call him?

Joaquin.

You got to say Naheen.

Naheen.

He had an accent.

It's Neiman for everyone that doesn't know.

I'm Maddie.

We're going to go with that.

We're going to go with that for right now.

I've been renamed for about

two months now.

You said shout out to Taylor Gooch.

Well, he's a 2023 individual champion.

He's currently in fifth.

He's having a great year as well.

What kind of interactions did y'all have with Taylor?

No, I just talked to him.

I just told him specifically, like, you know, I got my money on you.

There's no pressure at all.

No pressure.

He cuts.

He's still the light.

It's no pressure.

Did he give y'all any pointers?

Nah, I was letting him lock in.

We was just hitting, watching them like, see,

yeah, they was at the driving range and let them do their thing.

So I'm excited because this is your first experience.

Before y'all get to the party hall and get the whole vibe, what are you feeling so far from what y'all saw?

For me, it's unbelievable.

Like, not being tuned to golf like that to come here and hear the music and the vibes and everybody having a good time.

It made me more comfortable.

Made me want to get out there and try to swing a little bit.

Yeah.

Like the environment is crazy.

Like you said, from kids to adults, everybody's having a good time no matter where they're at.

And I like to, you know what I'm saying?

The shotgun start is pretty dope because usually you got to wait to see what people tee off.

It's why you say one place you didn't really see everybody, which is pretty dope as well.

Yeah.

And then you got guys like Bryson DeShambeau who just get it.

Like it's more than golf.

This guy, if you watch him, watch him today.

He goes out of his way almost every single hole while he's playing and he gives autographs.

I don't know how he does it.

After a round, you'll see him out there on the driving range practicing.

Then you'll see him shooting a YouTube video following that.

He's a man with

and he understands like growing the game of golf.

And it's not just Bryson, though.

It's across the board.

The players are all here committed to building the brands, not only of the league, but their respective teams.

I tried to give y'all four Aces hat earlier.

Yeah.

And y'all didn't throw that on.

But

I'm going to let that one slide.

That's your game.

I love the four aces brand.

Like, if you look at some of the branding, you got like Bubble Watson and his range ghosts.

The logos are cool.

The colors are different.

Like, look at our microphones.

Yeah, okay.

I'm here.

I'm a host here.

You know, it's just a different.

You're really good at this, too.

You're really good.

Look, I know I sound like I'm a mascot, but it's like, I really mean what I'm saying.

I took a faith jumping into a new sport.

I didn't know what to expect, right?

I was embraced here by a family and by a league.

It feels, I didn't miss a step.

Like, it's really a different energy here.

And if you come from an NBA background, like if you're a fan and you're watching and you're tapping into NBA or NFL, those are two leagues that put a lot of effort into entertainment and a lot of effort into connecting with the consumer.

You come to live, you hear golf and you're like, ah.

But then you come here and you're like, wait a minute.

Yeah, that's going on.

They're throwing towels in the crowd.

You're going to see t-shirts.

You're having a plane fly over your head.

Guys jumping out of helicopter to land down here.

You're going to see Pyro go off.

You're going to hear Jason Zone Fisher screaming at the top of his lungs at the first hole.

Excellent hope.

You're going to see the players stop for a second.

They might even do a dance.

They're doing, well, coming out to a walkout song and signing autographs.

It's a party.

It's literally a party here.

This has got to be a better feeling.

I know, especially what's been going on with Philly, man.

I know it will soon.

I know y'all been having some party.

So I know this environment is part of people.

Now, why did you ask me?

I see why they left, though.

I see why you treated me.

That's going to be my day.

What face was with?

I'll go back back when they did young backstage?

For life, man.

I'm a Philly boy for life.

I'm Sixers for life.

Yeah, shout out to the Hawks, man.

We rolled a lot of things for them.

But what made you come over to the Liv Golf family, though, man?

So I got a call from my agency one day.

I'm going to tell real.

This is a raw, real story.

I got a call from my agency.

They're like, hey, got this opportunity with Lift Golf.

We know you're not a golf guy, but you're good at what you do.

You probably not going to get the job.

Just get on a call with these guys.

I got on the call.

Next thing you know, I have another call.

Next thing you know, I'm being asked by my agency to jump on a call with V Greg Norman.

Yeah.

They're like, he wants to do a mock interview with you.

So, you know, no big deal.

Just hop on a call with Greg Norman.

Hopped on a call with Greg Norman.

We had an amazing interview together.

We chatted and it was, it was a great vibe.

At the end of that call, Greg was like, this is the energy that we're looking for at Liv Golf.

This is the voice that we want here.

And I was like,

you got the radio voice.

I just saw a big opportunity,

Especially just to represent,

you know, a different voice, right?

A different audience for such an amazing sport.

I had to take it.

I had to.

I just saw the big opportunity to be that.

And look at us now.

We're all standing here on the set with a golf tournament behind us, and all of us suck at golf.

For sure.

So I'm probably better than the rest of them.

Wait, what?

I'm probably better than the rest of y'all.

He couldn't play

better than me, but this is our area, Bryce.

Putt Putt is crazy.

But next up, Lib, we got Putt-Putt Challenge.

That's the one right here.

We're going on the green.

See who really liked that for sure.

I'm 155 down to do a putt-putt challenge that I can do.

No, that I can do.

I am like that compared to them.

So we'll probably

shoot like an 85 that day

on a putt-putt?

No, no, no.

Out here.

No, out here.

I'll shoot an 85.

I got quiet after you said that, right?

Because you know, my high, well, what I shot, 75 that one day.

Hey, write this up, man.

Yeah, man.

On that note, I might have to get out of here.

You know,

nah, but thank you guys, guys, for having me here.

I'm definitely down to take you guys up on the putt-putt challenge.

And for those viewing, like, make sure you guys come out and support Lib.

It's really a different vibe.

Nah, this environment is crazy.

I enjoy it.

Seriously, I'm not a golf guy, but I am now because of this environment.

That's for sure.

For sure, man.

Shout out to Chris Real.

Appreciate you, big dog.

Man, we got to do this again, man.

Shout out to Lib for showing love, man.

We got a little bit more to talk about, don't we, Mike?

Okay, let's have some more fun there.

All right, y'all.

Yes, sir.

Appreciate you, big dog.

Love, sir.

Appreciate you, Turkey.

What's up, bro?

Look at him out here.

Okay.

Oh, that's all.

Appreciate you, bro.

Thanks.

Appreciate it, man.

Right on, Broadbent.

All right, gotcha.

Oh, they got some talent.

Yeah,

needed.

Okay, cool.

I'm starting.

Yeah, right now.

You may need that.

Well, me, I'm sorry.

I can take it all like experience.

You know, start with the horrible.

Yeah, let's talk about us.

Even great concert.

Oh, yeah.

We locked in.

My favorite squad.

Back here to make fun of the hornets.

Don't be making fun of me.

I'm a bill.

Oh, geez.

I've never played.

I saw no.

I've never played golf.

I'm gonna act like I have

hey Mike.

I need a fire pick right here while we uh perform a design in front of it.

Yeah, I need a heater

just to see you the crowd.

Now, Taylor, you know what I'm saying?

I hope you'll have the best day now, Bertie.

So,

Okay, oh okay,

man.

Camp, that's our individual.

Oh, okay, cool.

Okay.

All right, go ahead, bro.

Sorry,

I'm ready.

Yes.

Man, listen, we've been having such a good time out here at Live Golf, man.

Let's just talk about our experience a little bit.

We still got plenty to go.

But first things first, I wanted to bring up, you know what I'm saying, some of the people we met today.

Shout out to the OG Roland Martin.

Man, we met him out here golfing.

You know what I'm saying?

We found out some order distortions behind Freaky Mike's golfing stories, man.

He always tells us how good he is, but we got to the bottom of it today.

How y'all feeling about that?

Roland Martin let us know that he's not that good.

Yeah, I'm glad we postponed our time on the tee with Mike.

Apparently,

he wouldn't have gotten us off to a good start.

He's our golf expert, you know what I'm saying?

He tells us how good he is.

Then we get out here around some real ones.

We find out, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, it's all foolful.

Yeah, it's a little fabricator right here.

We need to get to the bottom of it.

Yeah, we met a lot of cool people here.

Jay Williams here from the NBA.

Duke Legend.

Shout out to Jay Will in the building for sure.

sure it's been a super super cool vibe man i think the dope part about this is the individual aspect and the team aspect you know what i'm saying 18 m's on the line for the winner yeah yeah come on man i gotta get into golf

yeah i gotta lock in now it was crazy how they compared it to basketball like you basically your job is on the line out here yeah yeah so I understand when some of the golfers don't want to, you know what I mean, engage with the fans because they really got, you know what I mean?

Like I said, the differences between this and the other league is that, you know what I'm saying, the combinations I have for everybody, you know what I'm saying?

Basically, like you said, in the NBA, if you was in that situation,

it's a little bit different, right?

You know what I'm saying?

These live golf offers of some of these golfers as opposed to other places.

Yeah, yeah.

No, this is a dope environment, a dope opportunity.

And like to be on a team.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

That team aspect of things, that's kind of cool.

I wonder how we would be, though.

Like, if we had our own team, like...

What would our name be?

Would it be 520?

It could be 520, but I'm saying, like, if we had our own team and like one of y'all are playing so bad, like you got to get cut.

So I don't know if who's gonna get cut

oh probably me

the conversation probably is gonna be the funny part

because everybody know you deals you gotta pull them to the side yeah yeah you're gonna go in a different direction

because they all walking together and i'm like i know one of them is pigs but

you gotta stay locked in that's the team and you pick the team so it'll make it worse yeah for sure they gonna do it like a drum line when they came to them on the side black yeah yeah i also want to know how they got all these noise like permiss like clear because you know we have a party like the police is knocking on your door.

This is in a very beautiful area of the city.

It's a wonderful house around here, but I know this weekend, get out of town.

Yeah, for sure.

For sure.

But speaking of the music, the dope part, you got the live DJs in different places.

Then we talked about the walk-out music.

That's so fire.

And then to have Jason Deru up performing.

Come on, man.

It's nothing like this.

This is his environment, too.

I'm sure he's going to have it lit.

Oh, it's going to be a vibe, man.

And it's a beautiful setting.

I mean, even a merch, man.

Living golf is just really top tier, man.

What's some of y'all favorite things so far before we get up out of here about the experience?

I know we got a lot more to talk talk about.

Uh, mine is the fan engagement, yeah.

Like, I like how the players, like, even the missile, you know, how they locked in, they still engaging with the fans, you know what I mean?

Walking, yeah, signing autographs, stuff like that.

So, that's dope.

Hey, look, speaking of autographs, my boy B.

Hen was on the green going crazy.

That's happening.

You know what I'm saying?

Shout out to the green.

Yeah.

I'm not Joaquin Naheem, but I signed a couple hats today.

Okay, okay,

for sure, for sure.

Now, I love the fact that they got walk-up music, right?

That was dope to me.

I've been to a couple baseball games, and for them to walk out like that, that was pretty tough right there.

If you're having a bad game, though, would you switch your music?

Oh, you got to, you know, so you got to get it.

And if it's, you know what I'm saying, championship time, I have to get in a different bag.

You got to, for sure.

You got to.

Nah, for sure.

Listen, live golf.

It's been a great experience.

We can't wait to experience more.

We appreciate y'all.

We'll be back next time, Club 520.
