Nestor Aparicio 00:01
Welcome home. We are W, N, S, T. Am 15 70,000 Baltimore. We are Baltimore positive. We are positively into lots of things. Man, it is springtime around here. It is freak this week. AC, DC is in town. This week, things are going on. The Orioles are home this week. Got a lot of great guests coming in, especially on the horse racing side, to talk about sovereignty, not coming here to defend all things Triple Crown at old hill top this week. But spring is sprung, and it’s also golf season. My man, RJ Shepherd, is the PGA head golf professional. Sounds like a big title over at Forest Park, but you can go visit with him anytime he’s a big shot, especially the kids over there teach them how to play, but you go over and hit them anytime over there, we’re going to preview the the PGA going on this week with our friends of from a classic five I had Tom on a couple of weeks ago. We, you know, I had, I had to figure out everybody or Ed was on. He was going down azaleas and eating pimento sandwiches and all that. And I said, Why gonna get RJ on here to get you, like, PJ and by the time you came, I thought you’re Mr. Oriole guy. I thought we’ll talk Oriole. No, we’re not gonna talk any Orioles this week. I just wanna talk golf with you. I’m sick. Say,
Richard Sheppard Jr. 01:11
a rough start to the season, but, uh, hopefully we can turn it around. Well, I know, yeah,
Nestor Aparicio 01:17
weather’s been okay, little bit of rain and all of that you’re over at Forest Park. I mean, I’ve told your story many times about you sneaking on the courses, hitting the balls. Now, growing up being a, you know, a PGA guy, and one that this is the time of the year where kids are getting out of school, you’re setting up summer. People are figuring their game out. But I think nothing, and I talked to Tom about this couple weeks ago, nothing does it like a masters like that on Easter weekend, right? Like, where the world stops for a couple of hours, and everyone came to golf, and I swear, at three in the afternoon, the Orioles were stinking, and I’m like, oh, man, we’re not even going to have like, a good masters today. And that thing shot out of a cannon on Sunday afternoon, didn’t it? Yeah,
8Richard Sheppard Jr. 01:58
that was, that was awesome theater to watch, Rory kind of tackle his demons and overcome all those obstacles to finally get that Grand Slam office off his shoulder. So it was, it was awesome to see he has some incredible shots. Justin Rose put up a hell of a fight. You know, them going into a playoff. So it was great theater to watch, and watching it down in the basement with my son. It was a great time. He was even into it, so it was awesome.
Nestor Aparicio 02:23
So it’s a life for golf, dude. It’s always backwards with you golf guys, because I don’t you know, I know you love baseball, I know you love the ravens, but you’ve carved a huge part of your life into golf. And I find that people that do that, and I know a few of you all have the memories like I have with baseball, like I’ve been on the air 35 years, right? So Greg Norman’s meltdowns at masters all the Tiger Woods era, I was nationally syndicated and saw him hit the ball. You know? I So through all of this, there are those memories. And in golf, a lot of times it’s meltdowns, right? Like somebody blew a big lead, right? Yeah. I mean, it’s really hard to think you’re going to Eagle, birdie, birdie, birdie, and catch up in the Masters in some way. There been very few of that. It’s usually ball goes in the water, ball goes in the trap, ball goes away,
Richard Sheppard Jr. 03:18
you know, like the nerves, the nerves, you know, the nerves start getting up. So it’s usually bad shots coming down the stretch. You’re just trying to hold on. You know what I mean? Because you’re so nervous, it’s hard for him to grip the golf club. You know what I mean? I think Roy even mentioned it, that putty missed on 18 in regulation. I mean, he was so nervous, you know, he just, he’s big, he barely hold the putter. You know? So it’s usually meltdowns. As far as people making putts, that’s what made Tiger so great. He would, he would come in, in the clutch, he would, he would make all those putts. Well, manage
Nestor Aparicio 03:52
8emotions, yeah, it’s a nervous system thing at that point where, like, I can mention, and I did mention crowds. Elena Raskin and I had a long chat about crowds at hockey games and baseball games and like all of that, golf, other than the trash open out in Phoenix, you know the notion that it’s going to be silent and you’re going to hear the birds and you’re going to like, it’s a different kind of sport. Tennis is like, that is different kind of especially if you’ve attended as a fan. And I hope some of these people that go to concerts that talk their asses off in the middle of concerts, they wouldn’t make it very far in a golf course or right I had attended.
Richard Sheppard Jr. 04:28
I mean, after they hit the shot, you can go crazy, but, you know, during the process of of that,
Nestor Aparicio 04:34
but there is a silence in all of that that is a different either calm starter or nerve starter? Yeah, because
Richard Sheppard Jr. 04:43
you’re in your own head at that point. You’re in your own head with your own thoughts, right? So it’s, it’s really your mindset going into that all of
8Nestor Aparicio 04:51
these guys on the back, on the 18, on the last day of the Masters, all of them are capable of doing things that I could never do with a golf club, and maybe you could only. You once in your life, right? Literally, yeah, oh yeah.
Richard Sheppard Jr. 05:02
That shot Rory hit on what hole was that 15 around the tree. That was, that was incredible. That was incredible. But he had some bad shots too, like the wedge on, I think it was 13. He had a little ADR wedge hit in the water that that never happens. I mean, not, not to that’s not on that level. That’s nerves. That’s nerves. Yep. So RJ
Nestor Aparicio 05:23
Shepherd is golf, bro. He’s over Forest Park with classic five. I love having him on a lot of times. We’ll talk baseball, but I’m trying to leave that alone. It’s PGA Championship week. We’re going to talk about things down in Charlotte in a couple of minutes, and all of that. But back to memories in golf, and you’re like eating this summer, off the masters of at least, there was a bang for golf. There was a fireworks for golf, to say, golf still here. The weather’s nice. Get the clubs out. Get involved. Pick a golfer you love, pick a golfer you hate, and then it comes back again this weekend, where you hope, on Sunday afternoon, there’ll be, you know, some activity, read, some drama, right? And big names and stars made and all of that. For all this, what are your favorite memories? And you’re making them with your kid now, right? Like you know you have with your dad and all of that. I don’t have golf memories with my dad. My dad didn’t golf, but I can tell you where I was with Carlton Fisk was sitting home running 75 and like those moments you have watching golf or being a part of it, but what? What is your number one? Because I would think all of Tiger’s reign, some of Tiger’s stuff wasn’t about winning by a shot or a hair or playoff. Tiger stuff was like being on 15,
Richard Sheppard Jr. 06:33
8yeah, yeah. Um, I kind of got into golf when I was 10. So that was actually 2000 Okay, yeah, Tigers 2000 year where he won everything. I mean, that that was like peak Tiger at that time. So, um, just watching him then and then, kind of recently, I would say definitely, this past Sunday before that, I would say we haven’t had anything like that since when Tiger won in 2019, I believe back here. Yeah, his comeback year. That was, that was, you know, Tiger moves the needles, and Rory does too now. So without Tiger being there, I’m glad Rory was able to win. So now, you know, move the needle for golf. People had the eyes on golf come into the season. It’s exciting. So hopefully we get another good finish this, this Sunday. Um, trying to think what other great moments we had in person. In person, I had a great moment the BMW Championship, which is actually coming back this year, to caves Valley and Owings Mills. I was there that Sunday. It was a playoff between the Shambo and cant lay. I mean, it was crazy out there. People were running all over the place trying to catch the playoff, next hole, next hole. I mean, it was insane. So hopefully we get that again in the BMW here at Kings Valley and Owens Mills this August. So
Nestor Aparicio 07:49
well, it’s good times. And for all of this, this filters down to, hey, you’re out in Forest Park, you’re right off the beltway, you’re right, you know, easy. And when we talk about all of the problems that I had as a young African American on a golf course. I’m in Dundalk, and when I talk off, like even over Costas, the other day I was over there, some golfers came in and, you know, spare points right around the corner, right, having access to golf and and having access to clubs, and having access to doing it well enough that you don’t get frustrated and want to throw your club into the water right, like there’s a cost to entry. And the more that I talk to Little League parents and lacrosse parents and hockey parents and soccer parents and club this and club that, and how much money it costs, there’s a whole thing that, like golf’s no longer like the expensive thing. You know, you can get people on the course out there for a reasonable price, and keep them in and their children, and get them into something where they’re not getting hit in the head and they’re not getting some fresh air, taking some long walks and and getting good at something that that they can get good at golf quickly. I talk so much about this top tracer. That was the kind of stuff when we were kids we you know, you just had to kind of figure out your angle, right? This sounds like a video game, right? Well, and we also have you, and I know how much young Yeah, so and helping young people, yeah,
Richard Sheppard Jr. 09:07
that’s the beauty of municipal golf, right? We’re here to serve the community. So, you know, we’re trying to be a, be a entry into golf. And we, you know, and we have experienced players as well. So it’s not like, it’s just, we’re not just for beginners, everybody in between, but we’re a nice entry level into the game of golf. We’re not spending so much money, you know, you’re not taking so much risk, you know, we’re here to help. I’m here to teach. You know, I’ve been given lessons here. This is my 13th year teaching. So I’m getting better. I’m doing a lot of golf clinics, ladies clinics. We got First Tee. Our last week of our spring session is this week, so then our summer session starts next week. So we’re rolling in with that. And that’s only $75 for six weeks of golf lessons for the First Tee of Baltimore. So and those are at all the classic i. Yeah, all the classic five golf courses.
Nestor Aparicio 10:02
You made me name them now, so because I’ll forget one, I’m pleasant, Carol, Park, Forest Park, Pine Ridge, and I’m forgetting one. Hold on. I said. I said, Mount Pleasant. Which one did I forget? I knew I was going to forget. Did you say Carol or Clifton? I said, Oh, I didn’t. I didn’t say Carol. I said, Carol, not Clifton, you missed Clifton, yeah, Miss Clifton. And it’s always that’s the one I drove through on the 22 bus going to Memorial Stadium. So Clifton, yeah, Clifton was the only golf course in the whole world I knew about that wasn’t Bob Hope or Fred Flintstone, because Fred golf Fred Barney golfed. And yes, yes, yeah, but, like, I had never been on a golf course, like, maybe on television. I would see Pebble Beach once in a while with a Bob Hope open. I’m talking about in the 70s here, right? Like, my dad wasn’t like, a Jack Nicklaus Arnold Palmer. My dad was watching the Orioles games. Like, that’s what he was doing. So like, for me, going through the golf course on the bus was the only time I’m like, the only golf course I knew about when I was 15 years old. Cool, cool. Yeah. So
8Richard Sheppard Jr. 11:07
which first course did you go to? Did you actually like?
Nestor Aparicio 11:12
So this is I was going to ask you about this because I had never hit a golf ball in my life. My neighbor, Mr. Frank Bolk, used to golf, and he went to spare his point, because I’m from Dundalk. He’s the only, only person in the neighborhood. Couple of the older fellas bet the horses. Everybody was Orioles colts in my neighborhood, and various professional wrestling and different things like that. But Mr. Frank was the only one. And I would see him on Saturday morning putting the golf clubs into the trunk of the car, and he would go play. And so for me, the first time I picked up a club was at furnace branch with Norm vakoski. I went on the air in 1991 so I don’t know if you were you born in 91 right around that I was born in 90 Yep. All right. So 91 I went on the air, and I made fun of golf in 9192 and Norm got tired of it. So, like, 9495 he’s like, I’m gonna have you out. Have a lesson. So everybody, all the golf people, were pooping upon me on the radio. I’m taking calls. I’m nasty. Nestor, it’s 1994 you’re four years old, right? So, like, so he’s like, I gotta take you out. Show you the golf studio. I’m like, golf, the ball doesn’t move. How hard can it be? I played tennis in baseball, the ball doesn’t move. And then I realized, like, the arm I told you this, like, baseball’s in here, goes out here. So I took me, oh my god, weeks to, like, hold my arm locked out after playing baseball every day in my life, right? Yeah, but I learned how to hit. I went out and played. We had, we had charity tournaments here in the 90s. I’ve played and you went out, but the first place I went according to a pro, and this was 31 years ago, I took my first lesson, go to a range, learn how to hit the ball, learn how to hold the club. I didn’t know how to hold the club. RJ, like, I held it like a baseball bat, and I had to learn. And I’m missing a locker or overlap. Oh yeah, yeah. I mean, I literally had to learn just hand placement, very, very basic. And I was 28 when I took my first lesson, you know, like, so I had never picked up a golf club, putt, putt. Oh, I’ll beat your ass in Ocean City. Now, you know, you know, but, but, I mean, other than putt, putt. I had never picked up a golf club in my life. Gotcha,
Richard Sheppard Jr. 13:23
gotcha. But that’s the beauty. Yes, that’s the beauty of golf. So you so
Nestor Aparicio 13:27
8what do you do? Do you do? What is the first thing you would do with like my wife, if she took lessons? What’s the first thing you would do with her?
Richard Sheppard Jr. 13:35
Well, I like to start from the green and work backwards, like you said, putt, putt. I usually start with putting right? That’s the, probably the easiest thing people can do. It’s not too, not too much energy into it, you know. But, you know, it’s tough to make putts, obviously, but it’s a, it’s not, it’s an easier stroke to handle. I start there, then we work our way back chipping. Now it’s a little longer stroke pitching, little longer full swing irons, full swing driver. So I like to work from the green and work backwards. I find much more success doing that. And, you know, like you said, charity tournaments, right? If someone just knows how to putt, they can help out, right? They can help out with those scramble tournaments where, you know, they don’t mind having a beginner coming out making a few putts, you know. So I like to start there, work our way back. So that’s kind of my kids want to, like, just beat the snot out of the ball, right? That is correct. That is, well, I mean, I would
Nestor Aparicio 14:29
say it this way, but you’re right. You’re right. But as a kid that played baseball, right, we could either work on fielding or hitting, and we can only hit one at a time, so we all had to go out in the field and figure it out, right? So, like, I remember as a young person, which was more fun, throwing the ball, catching the ball, fielding the ball, ball up in the air, ball on the ground, or hitting, you know, like hitting was fun, right? So I would think that the driving part of this is appealing to kids. I get to hit a bucket of balls and whack the snot out of it, and I’ll, and, you know, Mr. RJ is gonna come over teach me a little something, something, something like that, but like that would be the hook to get kids in for fun. Hey, and the kids in, like, get in Ocean City right now, everybody lining up. They’ll, they’re lining up to play putt, putt. So Right? Kid has played putt, putt. So they know
Richard Sheppard Jr. 15:20
putting is fun, right? And I make it fun with games. And, you know, different putting games we can play. You don’t
8Nestor Aparicio 15:26
put a clown out on the course, right there with the mouth open. No, no dinosaurs, no. That’s, I am
Richard Sheppard Jr. 15:36
working on getting that actually a big, they call it. It’s called, it’s like a big, big inflatable dinosaur you can put out there, golfzilla. That’s what it’s called, golfzilla. And they, you know, they hit into the thing. That’s what I’m working on, actually. So
Nestor Aparicio 15:49
well, anything that makes it fun for kids, especially you want adults out, and that’s great. But like teaching young people that I would think that’s your gift. RJ, right, literally, right.
Richard Sheppard Jr. 16:00
8Yeah. I like to think so all ages. I love to teach all ages, but to see the joy of kids doing it. And it takes me back to when I was, you know, a junior, 10 years old, just learning the game, you know, so I can relate to them, and just just they don’t have to be pros, but just having them, just being able to go out on a golf course, the people they can meet, the places they can go to, opportunities that’s that’s that can be afforded to them. Just being, you know, involved with this game is is incredible. So it’s a big benefit to them in their life. So
Nestor Aparicio 16:31
RJ shepherds, my pal, he’s the PGA Head Golf Professional over at Forest Park, one of the classic five. There are five courses, I promise I will never forget Clifton or Mount Pleasant, or Pine Ridge, or I just forgot Carroll. So they’re, they’re all there now, um, for you with the summer and and people getting into golf, anybody listening out there who wants to hit, I would encourage them to come to any of the classic five. But if they want to find you, what, what will they find when they come to Forest Park? I mean, that’s, that’s home base for you. Man,
Richard Sheppard Jr. 17:02
I love it here. Yeah, we’re a great, we’re a great, great course to learn that people always say that when they come to Forest Park, it feels like home. And I want to keep that kind of, keep that culture going here. We welcome to everybody. We just, we just, you know, great staff, great food, great atmosphere. So, yeah, everybody’s welcome to Learn, whether a beginner or or a scratch golfer. You know, come out, enjoy it. Course is in great shape right now. Little drive, I think we’re getting some rain here, I think tomorrow. So of course, will be nice and green and lush, and greens are rolling Nice. So come out, have a great time. Got different leagues you can you can play in. We have a senior men’s league. On Wednesday mornings. We have 120 guys signed up for this league. Oh,
Nestor Aparicio 17:50
hold on a minute, senior, senior. Yeah, what is senior? How old is senior? Because I think I went to the movies last week, and I was shocked that 60 is senior, and I’m 56 I’m getting there. I mean, like I’m paying full price for movies for the last time in my life. Here soon I’m going discount. I’m soon 62
8Richard Sheppard Jr. 18:10
what is 62 senior? I’m not quite that’s for the whole classic five. So we, we do what’s called, we sell a player’s card. So people that that play frequently, all the classic five, we sell a player’s card. So if you’re 62 you actually get a player card senior. So you get discounted rates as well. So just keep that in mind for my for my seniors out there. Um, yeah, we have 90 guys, but
Nestor Aparicio 18:33
I live long enough to get a discount on something, you know? I mean, I’m just trying, yeah, 60, you’re right there. You’re right. I’m not 60, damn it, I’ll say
Richard Sheppard Jr. 18:41
you’re close, you’re close, you’re close. 56
Nestor Aparicio 18:44
8oh, push me along. And my wife’s having a birthday later in a month, and she’s getting, you know, snooty with me. Don’t be adding them. Don’t be adding the year on until my
Richard Sheppard Jr. 18:52
birthday was actually last Sunday, May 4 Star Wars Day. So that was my birthday. Oh, may the fourth be with you. Thank you. Yeah, I just turned 35 so, yeah, man,
Nestor Aparicio 19:02
I’ve got socks older than you. Ty’s older than you. RJ Shepard is here. He’s hitting the golf ball. Uh, he’ll be watching and hitting so in a weekend like this, I mean, I sort of outed myself as not a golf watcher. As a kid, my family was baseball, dude, you’re big baseball guy, man, I I’m Facebook friends with you, your little boy. You go out to the ballpark, yeah, usually wearing your Orio hat around here somewhere. Um, you know, when it when a tournament like this this weekend? Do you have a rooting interest? Do you have a favorite player? Give me how you play when it’s not masters. But this is, you know, there’s only, there’s only four big ones. This is one of them, and it’s also previous weekend, or this weekend, Washington, I’m going to be poolside out in Las Vegas, doing the show at the Maryland party. But this is one of this is a major. This is a big one
Richard Sheppard Jr. 19:45
major. Yeah, I just hope for great drama on Sunday. That’s all the hope for. I mean, I’m a Roy fan. His birthday is also also May the Fourth, so I’m a big Rory fan. But, you know, I just want to see great drama. I think, I think it’s lining up for Rory and Scotty to. Kind of duel. It out this Sunday. Roy’s in the form Quail Hollow is actually a course. He’s won at four times already, not a major It’s only the second time they’ve hosted the PGA at Quail Hollow, but he’s won here. It’s usually a tour event every year on the calendar, but now this year is a major venue, so he’s got great, positive vibes there. Scotty just tied the record for lowest scoring record in Texas two weeks ago. So I think it’s really lining up for Rory and Scotty to duke it out. That’s what I’m hoping for. One and Two in the world duke it out on Sunday down in Charlotte. So yeah. And trying to think Justin Thomas, he he last won there, when it was last there in 2017 and trying to think who else kind of, and you got Bryson dhambo from live golf. He’s turning it up over there, so it’s lining up for for the heavy hitters to and it’s a big boy golf course. You gotta, you gotta drive it. Well, you gotta drive it long. So, looking forward to it. Looking forward to
8Nestor Aparicio 21:06
it. Alright. Well, Sunday afternoon, after a Saturday afternoon without sovereignty in the Preakness, I’ll be talking horse racing all week. RJ Shepherd is the PGA head golf professional at Forest Park. They’re part of classic five golf they’ve been our partners for a number of years. Always love talking a little bit of golf here, and sneaking in the experts on all of this stuff. Last thing for your parting shot, can you pitch? I cannot, yeah. I mean, you can pitch on the golf course pitching wedge, but not, yes, yeah, yeah, in this Orioles thing you, you have any, I mean, this has been, you’re getting to be a little older now, and you’re, you’re buying into, like, I’ve seen them win the World Series, right? Like I’m down, I they’ve won twice in my lifetime, right? That’s awesome. I forget about 79 I try not to remember that, but it’s been a long time. And for somebody your age, who is an Oriole fan, you got a young son, you know, you love the Orioles family, love dad, all that. But this is, this is a really disappointing year in the way that there was promise, you know, yeah,
Richard Sheppard Jr. 22:01
I’m scared that we didn’t. I’m hoping we didn’t miss our window of opportunity to, kind of to get, get a pennant, you know. You know you gotta, you gotta take advantage when you you know that number. We’re number one seed, you know, coming in. Great record last two years, and we just leave in the first round. So this year, I’m hoping we can turn it around. And it is still early, but I mean, Memorial Day is coming up
Nestor Aparicio 22:29
10, under 510
Richard Sheppard Jr. 22:32
8Yeah, yeah. It doesn’t matter when, when it is, so you
Nestor Aparicio 22:35
don’t climb out of that. Yeah. I think we’re,
Richard Sheppard Jr. 22:37
I think we’re, we’re seven and a half back of the Yankees right now. So
Nestor Aparicio 22:41
I said to Luke, if they’re 500 at the All Star break, if they can somehow be 500 at the All Star break, they even then they have to make up, you know, a game and a half a week. They’re gonna have to play 650, 700 ball for, yeah, three or four weeks. Yeah, to catch, to be a 500 Oh, to get Yeah, yeah. And then we can start talking. I mean, to me, getting health, getting effluent back, was huge, trying to get whatever they’re going to get out of Morton, whatever they’re going to be. Kramer, get some consistency. Shagono looks okay, but yeah, I talk pitchy, pitchy pitching. And then Luke’s like, Dude Anthony rutchman sitting 195 like that. Like they’re never going to win like that. So their stars have to be stars, and that’s really gonna had
8Richard Sheppard Jr. 23:23
a good series this past weekend. So yeah, get the best to heat up. And just if we can just pitch decently,
Nestor Aparicio 23:35

My big appreciation my friends at Classic five golf that includes Forest Park. If. Park, Clifton, Park, Pine Ridge, and never, ever forget Mount Pleasant, even though I just did forget Mount Pleasant, because I always forget one of the five. It’s sort of my my claim to fame around here, Luke is at the ballpark all week when he not. I am going to be in Las Vegas, Nevada. We’re going to be poolside at the Encore pool, which is beautiful. We’re doing the show poolside there with the Maryland party. Big thanks to Howard Perlow and his team for inviting us out as well as Bill Cole and Cole roofing and Gordian energy three days in Vegas. What could possibly go wrong? Nestor? We are W, N, S, T, A and 15 70,000 Baltimore, and we never stop talking Baltimore. Positive. You’ll be jealous if it’s 90 you.
