What's up everyone? Matt Oram here. >> I'm thinking Mattio might have been out of bounds there. Go in. >> Go in. Yes. >> Come on, Matt. >> I am from Mobile, Alabama, and I'm excited because the Pro Tour is headed to the Big Easy in New Orleans. A fullscale Pro Tour event going down in the Bayou. The Pro Tour event will be held March 13th through 15th in Jefferson Parish at Park Day female. This will be the first Pro Tour event in Louisiana, which is awesome. I've always wanted one there, and uh first probably pro tour event in the whole Deep South area. So, this is uh huge for the whole Gulf Coast, huge for New Orleans, huge for New uh the state of Louisiana, huge for Jefferson Parish. The energy of this tournament is going to be so high, man. Those guys like to get rowdy, you know. A lot of uh beverages to be taken over there. So, uh I expect a high rowdy crowd. I think New Orleans is also one of the best sports cities in the United States as well. Like Boston's obviously got the sport city title, but New Orleans ain't far behind, man. It's a very sporty town as well, as much as it's got all the other historical significances of it. They're going to be excited, ready for the Pro Tour. and being at park day for me just going to be amazing for the spectators to be able to see not something they've never seen nothing like before. Let's talk about the history of uh Jefferson Parish disc golf. Uh one of the oldest disc golf courses in the south and Louisiana. Definitely started in Jefferson Parish. Uh Lafaneer Park, my home away from home. Love that park. It's just been uh so old. It had Mach 2's in the course forever. And then some homemade baskets from Ribbonell on the back nine when they got added there. But that course has a lot of history. A lot of the original no team disc golfers started off at Lafaneer Park and the true OG's. So it has a lot of uh history in that park itself in my opinion. I think in 201617 John Hal uh put in and they wanted a prolevel disc golf course designed there and came in and put in park day...
