They, you know, new shafts, all that kind of stuff.

And it's funny because obviously I'm, you know, I'm like a 15 handicap, so I'm not that good.

But like, you know, when you get out there and they look at all the things you do and they make all the corrections and they give you all the different shafts and things like that, it does seem to make a difference.

So I'm actually going to play this week and we'll see, you know, I'm dying to play with these new clubs that have been sitting in my office.

So I'm excited for them.

Yeah, so generally speaking, it's kind of like a betting competition.

And it happens a lot of times at tennis clubs and at golf clubs where essentially... Golf clubs all the time.

Yeah, you sort of have rules where depending on how you do in the Calcutta, you win a percentage of the overall pot.

And in the Calcuttas that we do for the majors, the golfer that wins the whole thing gets about 19% of the overall pot.

And there's also all sorts of bets, like who has the best score on day one, who has the worst score on day one.

That makes a percentage of the pot 1%.

And so you auction off every golfer.

In the case of the majors, we do every golfer the top 50, and then we do the rest in lots of about five.

And you're having an open auction, so you don't know the size of the overall pot.

So from a modeling perspective, you're trying to dynamically price how you think this person's going to do and what size you think the pot's going to be overall to figure out how much you're going to spend.

Well, so that's the thing.

Like we have in the case of Aaron Rye, I think he was top 50.

So I think he was still auctioned off by himself.

But Ryan Fox was in what we call these groups where he was grouped with like four or five other golfers.

And, you know, it's kind of like a little bit of like a throw in or a grab bag or something like that.
