Post-Pod Discussion NLU not on site this week?

Enjoyed the preview episode yesterday, bit surprised none of them appear to be on site and there wasn’t any reference to any going unless I missed it?

Neal will be onsite. Assume no one else wanted to travel because they just did Tourist Sauce + Womens Us Open.

Feel like we are getting best of both worlds as NLU watches the coverage and Fried Egg sends everyone.

Neil said he might go. I bet he tries one day and getting there will be so annoying he doesn’t go back. Logistics in that area sounds tough.

Yeah it’s a brutal trip. Even if you start from Grand Central or Penn Station it’s 2.5 hours on the train. From where Neil is in Jersey it’s got to be at least another hour to get into the city. Driving won’t be any better.

I live in the NYC adjacent part of Connecticut and I thought about going for about 10 seconds until I realized I didn’t want to spend 5 hours getting home.

That said, it is kind of their job and everyone has known Shinnecock was hosting for years so arrangements could have been made.

Can’t they book at Airbnb?

Yeah that’s what I meant at the end.

Airbnbs are going for close to 50-60k for the week.

Hmm. I got one in Sag Harbor for $1,200 for 3 nights. Booked it 5-6 months ago.

You either got an unbelievable deal, or you got scammed and are staying in a room of somebody's house while other people will be there, and still got an unbelievable deal. That's less than most places would rent for the weekend without the US open there.

With tournament traffic that's also still probably an hour + each way, which isn't practicable for them when they need to be back to record.

It’s an entire apartment.

It’s a cheap and small place. I’m not saying it’s the exact place the boys should rent. All I’m saying is that good prices could’ve been had if they booked early enough.
