Yeah. In your words. Noah (06:57): We are a private golf membership for private golfers. Yeah. So you do the pri kinda the price of poker is that you do have to belong to a a private club and it has to be at a certain level. Um, but from that you can join just like you would a private club, uh, and that you pay an initiation and a dues. And once you are in, and we do have a pretty firm vetting process, but once you're in, you're able to play 800 of the best, 850 of the best golf courses in the world. Uh, primarily here in the United States, but we're in 40 states and 11 countries globally. Uh, we have 750 members today. And then one of the neat things that we do as well, besides just getting to go play golf courses Yeah. Is that, uh, we run 30 high-end events at least annually. And so we'll take over some of the most prestigious golf courses in the world, many of which are holding us opens or have held us, opens recently. And our members get to go be a member for a day. And it's a fully curated experience. You get your own flight, we pick you up at the airport, and, and all food, drinks, caddies, transportation, hotels are, are covered. Trisha (18:04): People were grateful to just get out and be around other people in the beginning. Has it morphed into something that has actually, like created business opportunities amongst the members? Noah (18:18): Yeah. And so it is a great question. What's interesting is I thought that's what this was gonna be at the beginning. I really visualize LinkedIn for golf, and that does happen. But one of the things that I've found is that many of our guys are, you know, they're so successful already that when they're out on these trips, they don't really want to get into it. So I know a lot of them have started kind of joint ventures from it, but it has not become the networking hub that I thought it would be. At least I don't think it is. We don't, we don't kind of don't ask on that. Um, but I know that just from the friendship standpoint, you know, we have guys that get paired up and, you know, one, I have a couple of guys I can think of right now. One lives in San Francisco, the other one's in Connecticut, and they met at that first event that I was telling you about. And they're still each other's member guests on their home clubs Oh, really? All the time. So it's just, that's cool. It's like the best of best friends because you've, you've found this group of, you know, golfers is already one kind of community. Private golfers is another community. Guys that like to travel as another one. It just keeps getting tighter and tighter. So while we have a super diverse group, when you just look at the, like, the way that people interact with each other, they're all like twins.
