| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Clubhouse with Shane Bacon. I am your host, Shane Bacon, and Nate |
| 0:08.6 | Lashley joins us this week after, of course, his big victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic |
| 0:13.5 | over the weekend his first PG-Tour tour win. And I got into this a little bit with him, |
| 0:19.6 | but I feel like these stories are some of my |
| 0:23.3 | favorite in golf. It is the story of a guy that perseveres, keeps grinding, goes through |
| 0:29.8 | every single professional circuit you could think of. I was going through his bio. He has a |

| 1:24.2 | back in the day. |
| 1:25.3 | I was not a mini tour player, I'll say that. |
| 1:28.2 | I played. I donated, if you will. But I was not a mini tour player, I'll say that. I played. |
| 1:32.7 | I donated, if you will. But I was out there with some of these guys that had been grinding for 10, 15, 20 years, and they still do it, and they still try, and they still hope, and they still |
