What did you get me for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;15 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;15 hours? Yeah, right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;I mean I gave you three days of playing, a little bit of practice. It&#8217;s 12 hours and three rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah, I mean I probably play twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;See?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Probably play twice and maybe another couple of hours. You&#8217;re getting close, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;I got you down for 18 holes with booze, because I don&#8217;t know if that counts as full practice. And then two hours of practice outside of the golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Absolutely correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Figured you may be-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;This week could be a little bit more, but as an average week, I played six days between Cancun and Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;In Hawaii?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Three days was heavy booze. Cabo doesn&#8217;t count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;You play the Pros and Joes, is that was?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah, I think so. They said it was there. And I played the Jimmy O here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Oh yeah. That&#8217;s all-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Three days. That was all, there was only three, like three real days. I played before Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;That&#8217;s about&#8230; I drank in every one of my rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah, I used to practice a lot. I don&#8217;t like to practice that much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah, that&#8217;s all right. 15 hours, that&#8217;s yeah, two rounds, a little bit of practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;I gave you, yeah. Close enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW OFTEN DOES YOUR TOUR MATE CUT HIS HAIR?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Clearly, Pat doesn&#8217;t really cut his hair very often. So I went with \u201che trims it\u201d three times a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;It&#8217;s pretty accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;I feel like you&#8217;d get around the edges and you&#8217;d make sure the flow is proper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Oh yeah, I actually have to cut it, it&#8217;s like a drape right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Okay, it&#8217;s a little long now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;It&#8217;s actually got to be&#8230; See how it starts to bunch, I got to lighten it up a little bit. I got every three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Probably more like five or six, I did-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;So it doesn&#8217;t grow that fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Well, I just cut it last week, so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;And then before that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;It was a long time ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;That the first one of the year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Figured it&#8217;d be like three weeks. It&#8217;s high and tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;No, I let it grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;You can always tell by the neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah, it&#8217;s fresh. It is a fresh trim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;That&#8217;s about right, three times a year. Because once it starts to hang on my shoulder, that&#8217;s when I can&#8217;t stand it. Yeah. If it was straight, I would actually cut it once a year, I would just let it go. But it doesn&#8217;t get straight it gets bunchy. I don&#8217;t like it, but wife likes it so what can I do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW DOES YOUR TOUR MATE UNWIND AFTER A ROUND?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Little boozy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Little booze, eat, sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;I think that&#8217;s pretty standard across the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;I mean that&#8217;s 90% of the TOUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah, I got you down for a glass or a bottle of wine, depending on what you shot. And I got you down for good dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Always good dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;You&#8217;re a big foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;My big thing is dinner. You only get so many dinners in life, you can&#8217;t waste them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;You get seven a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah, exactly. I don&#8217;t like breakfast. Breakfast on TOUR is horrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;It&#8217;s the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Every day. It&#8217;s horrible. Lunch ranges between a two and a seven. Dinner is always a 10 for me, always. That&#8217;s because I&#8217;m either cooking it or I&#8217;m going where it&#8217;s nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;I know if I walk into a restaurant and I see Pat there, I\u2019m probably doing pretty good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;You&#8217;re doing great. You&#8217;re doing fantastic. Life is too short for bad dinners. Don&#8217;t waste your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Fair. We&#8217;ve had enough omelets in our day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Powder eggs, same bacon all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;And then they give you some yogurt with some&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Parfait?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah, parfait stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Nah, it&#8217;s out for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHICH PXG TROOP WOULD YOUR TOUR MATE PICK TO PLAY A CRUCIAL SHOT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Better be me. I said he&#8217;d pick himself because I thought I&#8217;d know. I thought about you&#8217;d pick Zach, he&#8217;s closed out a bunch of victories at a couple majors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Zach has. Zach is definitely one of our strongest ones for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah, but I figured you&#8217;d probably just pick yourself because you trust yourself to get it done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;I would. Like Kobe did. Kobe would say trust nobody better but himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Well, that&#8217;s a good quality to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;You think Tiger would pick anybody else? No chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT\u2019S THE FIRST WORD THAT COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK OF YOUR TOUR MATE?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Simple, yeah. I mean I threw party out there for you. I think we need you&#8230; It\u2019s not that you just party, but life&#8217;s a party for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;It is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;You treat it like one, so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;I do now, I didn&#8217;t use to. I used to treat it like miserable work and now it&#8217;s actually-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Is that post-injury for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah, that, and plus doing it this long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;A child?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yeah, there&#8217;s so many different things that change. When you get to my age now and playing, it&#8217;s different. It&#8217;s just life is different, golf is different. You know, I mean I only have six years with the Champ TOUR, which I can&#8217;t wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Six years for the Champs TOUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;I&#8217;m just in a different spot. You know when you&#8217;re 32, you&#8217;re still really trying to make sure that you get a whole career going, you play long enough and make enough money, and do all these things, and win, and all this kind of stuff. I mean, I&#8217;m going to be 44 in a month. This will be my 20th year coming up next year. I mean, I&#8217;ve done it all. You know, not that I haven&#8217;t done it all, but I mean I&#8217;m in just a different spot than it was when I was 30. I look at life way different, you will too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;All right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;Look at Tiger, Tiger&#8217;s done everything there&#8217;s possibly to do in the game. And he loves now to play a little bit and hang out with his family and do his thing, which I think is incredible, I think it&#8217;s awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joel Dahmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Totally changed, for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pat Perez:<\/strong>&nbsp;I think it&#8217;s awesome that he&#8217;s that way now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT GOLF CLUBS DOES PAT PEREZ PLAY?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pxg.com\/en-us\/pros\/pat-perez\">what\u2019s in the bag<\/a>&nbsp;for Pat Perez on TOUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">JOEL DAHMEN, WHAT\u2019S IN THE BAG?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pxg.com\/en-us\/pros\/joel-dahmen\">what golf clubs Joel Dahmen<\/a>&nbsp;has in play.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We check in with TOUR Mates and PXG Troops Pat Perez and Joel Dahmen for a quick fire round of questions that\u2019ll have you laughing from the get-go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":3050,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[35,41],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2310"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2310"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2310\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3051,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2310\/revisions\/3051"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
