Welcome everybody to the Daily Mayhem Podcast. This is your host Jack Package. We are here live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Surfside Beach for day three recap of Myrtle Mayhem. Exciting, exciting day today of action.
We came into day three this morning all tied, matches even and today's matches we did see a winner for the day and we'll move on to day four with the entire competition still in contention. Tonight's show is brought to you by Scotty's Beach Bar. Scotty's in Surfside Beach, South Carolina, beautiful facility, wonderful staff and great karaoke. Just try it out, give it a shot and tell us what you think.
Scotty's Beach Bar, check it out, Surfside Beach, South Carolina. Alright, let's move on to the day. We played today True Blue and the drunken grown-ups win the day, they win day 3 12 to 9. The first match today, Rick Moran and Brian Reed shot a 71.
They beat Evans and Jack Package who shot a 73. Cancel culture boys, they take the points six to one in that match. Moving on to match two, Dave Dwyer and Jason Cremple shot a 72. Marked in order, Mike Keller, big round today, low round on the day shot a 69.
They take their match, the drunken grown-ups, denora and Keller take their match five to two. Moving on to match number three, we had Steve Hartman and Tim McCann, rough day today for the boys, they shot a 77 against Ken Preeti and the Saint with a 70, the second low round of the day and nice round by the drunken grown-up boys, they're six to one. So we had a six to one for the cancel cultures, we had a six to one for the drunken grown-ups, kind of cancel each other out and the drunken grown-ups won the third match five to two, giving the drunken grown-ups a three-point lead going into the final day. Moving on to tomorrow, I have a very special guest with us, he's returning tonight.
By the way, APB for Mr. Vegas, we can't find him ever since this first and second round of the tournament. I think he may have taken a beating. We'll still try to muster him on the phone or get him somehow on the podcast, but Vegas nowhere to be seen.
We've got, I don't want you to feel second changed here. We've got Atlantic City with us tonight. Atlantic City, welcome back to the podcast. Thank you, John.
It's Jack, excuse me, Jack. It's been a hard four days here down in Surfside. I've tried to embed myself with the mayhem boys and I feel like it's been a great three days and tomorrow should be just a great finality to all the mayhem down here. I agree.
Day four, it's exciting. The excitement's palpable in the air. One thing I got to commend you on Atlantic City, Vegas, he's in a tower somewhere out in the desert in Nevada, crunching numbers and working the phones. You put boots on the ground in Surfside Beach, don't you?
You can't pick these matches without knowing that the people behind it. You have to become one with the group here. I feel like spending these four days in Surfside, go into the Neel and Pams, go into Scotty's, go into the River City. Eating the food, eating the food, drinking the beers, feeling the way the Mertle Mayhemers feel, it gives me a better sense of what's going to happen out there.
You're watching the guys on the range, you're studying guys on the Pudding Green. It's a lot of research and I just want to commend you for the boots on the ground attitude that Atlantic City's got. AC, he doesn't take a second. A backseat to anybody.
Mr. Vegas, who knows where that guy is at. Let's move on to your predictions for day four, Mr. Atlantic City.
At first match tomorrow, we've got Dave Dwyer and Brian Reed taking on old reliable. Mike Kelleher, Alan Evans, at Presswick Country Club tomorrow. Evans Kelleher, I think, claimed to be undefeated at Presswick on day four, something along those lines. I know it's a really strong record for those guys at Presswick.
What do you think about that match? First of all, Presswick, let's talk five seconds about Presswick. Please. That's course here in Surfside Beach in Mertle Beach.
It is the home course of the Mertle Mayhem. Happy to be back there. We'll be there early. And then we'll have the Marquis Group, which is this first match.
First match is the Marquis Group. Evans Kelleher, the couple, won it all at this Mertle versus Reed Dwyer, also won it all at this Mertle. I don't see Evans Kelleher ever having any lead up. It's Presswick.
It's Michael Evans. Michael Evans. Michael Evans. They are interchangeable.
I give them minus 130 on the odds here. I'll give them the Reed Dwyer folks. They put up a good fight on day one. I give them a plus 100, even money on them.
Some of these matchups we saw before earlier in the tournament. The captains like them so much. They're people up again. I think some of these are actual rematches of the day one battle.
So first match, you give it to Evans Kelleher, minus 130. Dwyer Reed. There's some plus money there if you want to try to make some money on them. Moving on to match number two.
Steve Horiman and Karampa, Jason Kremple against Ken Preeti and Paulie Descent. Great match. Paulie and Kenny play today at True Blue. I walked that match with them.
Outside the ropes are about five, six holes. Really good pairing. Play well together. Could miss a putt from 50, 60 feet out.
They're going back, doubling up the next day at Presswick against Hardeman. Again, they'd be Hardeman, McCann. Kremple is no Tim McCann. Kremple is half the man of Tim McCann.
Literally, literally half the man. Literally, half the man. So again, I'm going to favor the Drunken grownups here. I see Preeti St being a pretty heavy favor here.
I'm going to go minus 300, Preeti St. I do not see that. He shot at minus two today playing a True Blue course in a hybrid format. Really played the role of the Unball.
He shot at 70. I see them taking that momentum and boot stomping those guys. Front nine at Presswick is going to be a bloody dirty battle for Steve Hardeman. You've got the Drunken grownups taking the first two matches.
Heavily favored there in those matches. Moving on to the third grouping. This is a rematch of day one. You've got Tim McCann, the Silent Bear, and Rick Moran taking on Denora and package who won on day one, six to one.
So this is a rematch of a match that's already occurred. It was heavily in favor of Denora package on day one, but it was nip tuck if I'm not mistaken. There were some things in play right down to the 1812. Who do you have in that match?
This is the match I'm walking with tomorrow. These boys are, there's anger. Rick Moran is an angry man right now. Steve's given up a lead and now giving up even more.
Tim McCann has taken his medicine the last two days. Tim McCann has lost two matches in a row to second and third day Kenny, not just first day Kenny, second and third day Kenny. Tim has got some vengeance in his heart. But on the other hand, you've got Jack and who's the Jack playing with again?
Jack's playing with Mark Doar. Mark Doar. Yeah, Mark Doar. Only undefeated golfer on the Drunken grownups.
He's a staying in a night. I've got word from the house. He's going to stay in a night. He's going to rest up, sober up, no drinking, no drinking.
I think that plays a little bit of a disadvantage for him to be honest. He's a good golfer the day after he gets drunk. So I'm going to call this a pickum. I might lean a little towards the McCann side of that match.
I'll have to see what the weather looks like tomorrow. Tim, he doesn't like any sort of wind or rain or anything really. He's kind of high maintenance. But it's supposed to be great weather tomorrow.
So I see this as a pickum with a slight lean towards McCann Moran to get some revenge. Well, that being said, I mean, as long as McCann Moran don't sweep, if things hold the way you have them, the Drunken grownups are already up by three and you've got them favored in two matches. So you believe the Drunken grownups are going to be taking the trophy home? I think Drunken grownups have responded to a day one embarrassment.
The Saint has picked up his game dramatically after going to by winning today. And I do think the team camaraderie, there was some tension last night between the teams between the captains of the teams. I think the word cheater was thrown out. Well, there was a morning apology sent hugs, but Drunken grownups are taking this thing personally.
And I think they're not going to give up this lead. They've taken it. They've taken control of mayhem and they don't let it up. And I think this will be over by 1.30 tomorrow afternoon.
I think that last week rolls in and that whole tournament is already over. So our last question is for you. We played True Blue today. You watched all the matches at True Blue today.
One of the top rated courses down here in Myrtle Beach, designed by this guy Mike Strange, rest in peace Mike Strange, the late Mike Strange. He also designed Tobacco Road in Pinehurst. I can't stand this guy's fucking courses. Now here's the thing.
This course today was nice. But got some gimmicky holes. I couldn't stand the carp pass, the drive around, some of the amenities. You make a turn, there's no clubhouse, you got to drive 15 minutes back to get a hot dog and a gatorade or something like that.
What do you think of True Blue today? True Blue, tough course to walk. I was tired after one. Behind the ropes, it was a long course, tough course to walk.
I mean, could you get some more waste bunkers? Mr. Strange, I mean, waste bunkers everywhere. Everywhere was waste bunkers.
But I mean, really good course. The ground screw had a really good job preparing for the Mayan boys coming in. I'd give it on a five point scale. I'd give it a four.
It's not Caledonia. It's certainly not a press week. It's not a grand dunes. But it had some interesting shots these Mayaners had to take.
And clearly, some of them were rising in the challenge. 69 and a 70. True Blue, even from the grand potties. Those are good scores.
The match today was played from what I would say was an easier T-box. True Blue, I don't know if we'll make a return visit here in the Mayhem. But that being said, thank you to the grounds crew for keeping the course in good shape. And we look forward to getting the press week tomorrow.
All right, so let's talk about tomorrow. Tomorrow's it. You know, the teams, most of the nights, the guys have been out late, having dinners out, drinking, you know, whatever. Tonight, it's a different focus in the air, right?
Every people going to bed early, taking vitamins. I saw some statin drugs, some cholesterol medications, some blood pressure pills popped this evening. People trying to really get themselves in good shape for tomorrow's match ups. They started about 9.40, I think, is the first time tomorrow.
We're at Presswick Country Club, home of Myrtle Mayhem, I would say. And we're excited to be there. I believe you're going to see some guys that have had success this week struggle tomorrow. I believe you're going to see some guys that have struggled, have some success tomorrow.
I believe you're going to see some real grit and determination out of both teams. And I envy Atlantic City. I envy you getting to watch these things. And right around the cart, jump back and forth, walk the ropes and see what's going on.
What's doing with each team? I'm going to be forgetting the chance to watch. I appreciate that, Jack. I am grateful to the organizers of this event for inviting me down to spend time with their participants, really get to know the personalities behind all these golfers.
Bad golfers are good guys. And it's been an honor to participate. I hope Julie lets me come back again in any capacity. Vegas, he takes these events for granted.
He goes to the players, he goes to the US Open, he goes to the Masters. Where Vegas really learned his bones was at Mayhem. And that's where he should be. So I'm happy to step in and serve that role.
But we appreciate you serving that role. Final thoughts here. Tomorrow is for some of the crew. It's leave day to part your day after the round.
I hope you get to enjoy the celebration at Atlantic City with the teams tomorrow. No matter who wins. I know that me, I'm heading on a plane. I got some business in Pennsylvania to take care of.
And I know Mike Keller and some of the other guys are heading out. We won't be able to celebrate in the post-Mayhem festivities tomorrow. So we don't know. The day for recap may not come to you until Thursday.
We'll try to get you an update on who won, who lost as quickly as we can. But I appreciate all the listeners of the podcast. Again, the podcast is the Daily Mayhem at the Daily Mayhem one on Twitter. I think the boys are taking my advice tonight, AC.
Get some rest. Hydrate, Pimp straight. If you don't hit them straight, crack a beer, hit another one. Except on the back nine at Press Week where you don't have to crack the beer, you can just hit another one where we'll give you one or two freebies.
But it should be an enjoyable day. We're looking forward to it. The men, this has been fantastic. The tournament games were great this week.
The Mayhem's been great. The golf's been fun. Weather's been outstanding. We appreciate the listeners.
Thanks everybody. We'll come back at you tomorrow with a winner of this event. Thanks for listening.
