Ah, okay. Deal. Really? That's done. Yeah. Okay. I like that. Oh, let me jump in your favorite hole now. Let's go. I've always wanted this corner. Good morning. Little uh business trip we have going on here. We're still in Austin, Texas. It's Monday morning and we're going to Minneapolis, Minnesota to meet up with Kayla Visca, who uh is of course the designer of the preserve, which is a tournament happening later this summer. And MVP had the brilliant idea to make Simon Line the title sponsor of the preserve this year. And I agreed under the condition that I get to redesign some of this course, which you know, it's an amazing property. I like the course how it is already, but for me to be title sponsor, I wanted to have at least some kind of influence or something to do with this whole event just so it doesn't feel just random. So, uh, it was really nice. Um, we get to uh spend a day and a half with Kale bouncing back some thoughts and ideas about course design and tweaking this property a little bit to make it Simon approved. And uh yeah, we'll be there in about 3 hours and then we'll see what's up. Minnesota, here we come. Minneapolis, we're ready. We're here. I was just sent some uh preserve logos color options. Blue, yellow, black, kind of a goldish black, white or black, red, white. What do you think? I kind of like the blue and gold or the black and white and and red. All right, so this is the current preserved layout. And I've been staring at this for a couple days thinking what we can do. Obviously, I don't know this property as well as I need to to really make final decisions yet. This is early stages thoughts. And I think my main plan is to get rid of whole five. This little dinker in the woods. Never really loved that whole. I don't feel like it really adds anything to the course and we could really use an extra hole either around hole eight or around hole 10. full seven is also a bit it's kind of just like a straight 300 foot part three which and technically I don't have anything against but again if we could get rid of these two holes and reroute...
