In this episode, we dive deep into the wild story behind the 79Watch Mansion—a luxury golf rental house in Pinehurst, North Carolina. What started as a guy’s golf trip quickly turned into a once-in-a-lifetime real estate investment, complete with a golf simulator, heated saltwater pool, and a backstory full of midnight Tesla charging, council meetings, and accidental Game of Thrones scandals.We break down the pros and cons of investing in a golf house, how we found the deal, and why timing, vision, and a little bit of luck were everything. From getting the house below market value to transforming it into one of Pinehurst’s most rented properties (even during the holidays!), this is your behind-the-scenes look at turning a passion for golf into a legit business.Whether you’re a golfer dreaming of owning a golf house, an investor exploring short-term rentals, or someone who just loves a great story—you’ll laugh, learn, and probably want to book a weekend at 79Watch.🎧 Listen now to hear how a group of average golfers broke 80—and broke into the STR game in style.📍 Book the house or learn more at 79Watch.com

In our first-ever episode, we bring on the undisputed king of content in the golf world:  @YipStrickler  — the man behind the viral videos, savage swing breakdowns, and the fake business that’s doing the Lord’s work exposing sandbaggers everywhere. From creating “Your Invitational Partner” to trolling handicaps on Golf Genius, Yip walks us through how a joke turned into a movement. We talk about his viral rise, the creation of his alter ego, his stay at our Pinehurst mansion (79watch.com), and the fine art of catching cheaters — all while running an automotive recycling business and a totally real farm that definitely isn't for tax reasons.If you love golf, satire, and unapologetic truth-telling… you're in the right place.Stay tuned for sandbagger takedowns, tournament tea, and golf content that hits harder than a breakfast ball.
