Thank you, Neil.
Neil, this turned into what I'm thinking of as his Steve Jobs goes to Xerox moment, where he gets a look in the R&D lab, sees, oh, clickable mouse.
That's an interesting idea.
Might want to do it.
I want to take a look at that, maybe pull that back across the pond and utilize some of those techniques.
Shane Ryan made a wonderful podcast about peat and compared it to an American painter visiting Europe for the first time, which is possibly more apt, but I like this cunning poacher analogy.
This is really telling that Pete includes this anecdote specifically.
The story is that Mr. Nicholas played Carnoustie and was upset that his drives to the right side of the ninth fairway always ended up with a downhill lie.
There's OB left on that hole.
It's a 470-yard par 4.
So Jack...
complained to Carnoustie as maybe a pretty American thing to do, complained to the governing body, and they, quote, listened very carefully to his complaints.
Jack, according to Pete, was certain that the next time he came back, the situation would have been dealt with.
So when he returned on that downhill lie, they placed a steep pot bunker and called it Jack Nicklaus.
Also, to piggyback on the utilitarianism, just briefly, DJ, too,
Pete was a proper utilitarian.
This was not a materialistic fellow, Neil.
We'll get into some of this later.
Unpretentious dresser, dirty boots, khakis, same starched white shirt, collar, same thing every day.
Keep the uniform simple.
