323 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,684 And, of course, I couldn't say no. 324 00:11:29,764 --> 00:11:31,205 That's just the competitive side. 325 00:11:31,205 --> 00:11:36,345 And as soon as I said yes, I immediately regretted it to where I'm like, oh, shit. 326 00:11:36,644 --> 00:11:39,544 Two years ago, I popped two hamstrings playing slow-pitch softball.

468 00:15:19,654 --> 00:15:24,190 So any of the vistas that you're looking at, I mean, those red rocks are tough to beat, and 469 00:15:24,190 --> 00:15:29,950 then you just kinda get the contrast of the green with the obsidian and the red and the 470 00:15:30,269 --> 00:15:30,670 mountains. 471 00:15:30,670 --> 00:15:32,110 And, yeah. 472 00:15:32,110 --> 00:15:33,870 I mean, there's nothing out there. 473 00:15:33,870 --> 00:15:38,110 So there's no—you know, you're not seeing, like this week, you're gonna see a bunch of hotels 474 00:15:38,110 --> 00:15:41,445 and streets and planes taking off and all that other stuff.

475 00:15:41,445 --> 00:15:43,945 It was just the golf course and the landscape. 476 00:15:44,004 --> 00:15:47,284 So, they put on a phenomenal, phenomenal show. 477 00:15:47,284 --> 00:15:50,004 The greens were fast, and it looked perfect out there. 478 00:15:50,004 --> 00:15:51,465 I wish I was there, to be honest.

483 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,759 We could've gotten into the Monday qualifier without even trying because did you hear about 484 00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:02,160 that? 485 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:02,660 No. 486 00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:11,865 So the tour—I'm gonna just make sure we emphasize the tour—decided that after they were 487 00:16:11,865 --> 00:16:17,245 informed of the mistake that the local PGA section made by letting these two individuals 488 00:16:17,465 --> 00:16:20,309 into the Monday qualifier without prequalifying. 489 00:16:20,450 --> 00:16:21,490 In other words, they had no— 490 00:16:21,490 --> 00:16:22,790 They just went right in.

491 00:16:23,090 --> 00:16:25,350 Like a whole zero amount of status. 492 00:16:25,970 --> 00:16:27,509 They went into the Monday qualifier. 493 00:16:27,809 --> 00:16:28,710 Did they qualify? 494 00:16:28,930 --> 00:16:29,330 And they 495 00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:31,250 Both of them?
