Has, has any player approached you about their statistics and their data and finding maybe some, some areas in which they can improve just by uh whether it's using your website or just uh looking a little deeper into uh what they might be doing uh wrong? Yeah, so a couple of players, a couple of, um, uh, some corn fairy guys, uh, again, the, the younger guys skew towards like loving this stuff. Um, some managers and some agents so that they can distribute it out to, to their players. But yeah, I mean, the, the thing that I think is, is, is most interesting is, um, when you look at a golf course, when you look at scheduling, if you have the luxury of Being able to schedule, like, you should be able to do it, obviously, right? You want to pick out the best spots for you. But if you don't, like, there's, there's gonna be 3 or 4 shots at every single golf course where you can pick up a, a half a shot or a quarter of a shot on the field. And without, like, I could do it, uh, compared to anybody. Like, it doesn't, it doesn't take skill. It's just like looking at the math. Looking at the numbers. So that stuff starts to add up over the course of a year. And there are some custom reports that I'll put together for guys. Some guys don't want to be in the weeds every week, every day, every round. Just like, hey, give me, give me an idea every month or something like that, where I can look at it, see what's, what's trending in the right direction, what's trending in the wrong direction. But I just think Level setting expectations, Smiley, right? Like, you know, what does your proximity number really mean? What does this stroke CA number really mean? Like, level setting, if you understand what the metrics are, being able to then say how they improve or, um, affect your game is a lot easier. So what about your model when it comes to new golf courses? So example, last year, uh, I guess this was the Philly Cricket Golf Club. I'm trying to remember what event it was. Wells Fargo was true, true. So, uh when you have a new golf course with, gosh, I can't remember the last event that was played there was probably uh in the 70s or 80s or whatever, whatever it was. When you don't have those data points to, you know, kind of plug into what you expect this golf course, uh, to play like against the best players in the world, do you then lean towards grass types? Do you lean towards architects who's played well on, on, uh, let's say, I think that was the tilling has design. Is that kind of the route you typically go when it, when it comes to developing a model week to week? Yeah. And this happens a lot on major championships. Like you might not see that 7, and these are the biggest weeks of the year. How do we not have, how can I not have the models for it? So, um, I start with the satellite imagery, smiley. So I, I map the course from above, right? So I'll, I'll be able to look at, um, with the fairways and same, same thing the decade guys would do. It's like, OK, dispersion and, and start comparing it to Golf courses with similar profiles. So, if you've got a golf course that is, um, you know, 40 yard wide fairways and you're expecting 4 inches of Bermuda rough, I can look at other similar golf courses and see how that has impacted things. I can look at green sizes. I can look at, um, small bent grass greens that are running out of, uh, 12 or more on the stamp and start putting that profile together, right? I'm, I'm going to make assumptions. I'm going to sometimes guess wrong, sometimes guess right, but I'm gonna use, um, basically start to build a profile of similar golf courses or comp courses to make some understandings about this new venue. I, I try to stay away from the architect stuff. It's all in there, but, you know, like how, is there a Pete dye thing? I don't know. Maybe there is, maybe there's, maybe there's not, but being able to use the actual, you know, um, Fairway with and things like that, I think it's a little bit more, a little bit more uh actionable.
