The economics of tournament golf is somewhat different here in Australia where we don't have the significant television revenue and we do have a level of reliance on state government support and tourism dollar, I guess, tourism investment to make these events viable.

So to some extent we need to work with our relevant state governments and build that proposition.

I saw a little bit of golf on

Saturday and very little on Sunday.

Anyone that has been to the Masters will know that there are just so many iconic places around that golf course to sit and watch.

You can either choose to sit on a hole and watch groups come through or follow a player.

Look, the game is in rude health at the moment, Tom.

I think

Our research suggests that around the year 2021, so five years ago, there were about 2.7 million adult Australians hitting golf balls in Australia.

Last year it topped 4 million.

So that's not all.

They're not all members of golf clubs.

They're not all playing rounds of golf.

His legend status has gone up a level.

We had record crowds, I think 113,000.
