So, disc golf making headlines once again. And um two things. First one being there was a I thought there was multiple protesters because I think I saw some sort of uh post on social media about it. I think it was just one person throughout the entire week. I do think we have a photo too. They had a sign outside the entrance basically as you're turning into the tournament. Um they had a sign that said PGA keep men out of women's sports. Uh there was also I want to say when we were leaving to head to the airport we saw that there was like um rope like stakes and rope. So I think they might have I think the pro tour might have like created like a protesting spot. I don't know if that's factual. You can kind of see it in the photo here if you're watching with us here on YouTube. Um there's that rope in stakes. It looks like that was like the designated spot for anyone that did want to protest. Uh which I thought was kind of interesting in a little bit. Um but so there was protesters out there. Obviously there was um last year, it was either last was it last year or two years ago that there was like violent uh threats. Was it last year? I think so. Yeah. So none none nothing like that this year. Thank God no one took it that way uh to make threats like that which regardless of where you sit on the fence here. We shouldn't be threatening people's lives or or making you know any sort of fear mongering any of that stuff like that should just not be allowed. And so I'm happy that you know hey if you want to protest by all means you're allowed to protest. You can definitely do that. Um but the big story here was Abigail Wilson. Now, Abigail Wilson had a tea time, I believe, actually with Paige Pierce, who also is seen in the video. Uh, Mike, I don't know if we have the video. Sorry if I didn't send that over your way, but if you want to grab the video just so everyone uh can maybe see it if they haven't seen it, which I'd be shocked at this point in time if someone hasn't seen the video...
