Many of the estimates show that they've probably surpassed Ping in sales.

I cannot tell you the amount of people that we go off with

that now thinks that they are the next scotty scheffler because they have a lab putter it's literally gone to a lot of people's heads i know a friend of mine recently got one for his wife and we talked about a a project trying to get his wife to put better and she's actually a very good putter and she's actually the most brilliant person in that family that family actually created a son who's a valedictorian and we generally give that woman the credit

for that creation of the son who's a valedictorian the other son is actually brilliant and fantastic too and as good as they come but i but i segue but this is how bad this putter thing has gotten my friend feels compelled by the lab putter for his wife i don't know if that's because she thinks she's going to be better putting with it or he thinks she's going to be happy with him because of it the old concept happy wife happy life must live on in that family of valedictorians in that event

That's the U.S.

putter market.

Again, Callaway, number one.

They're Odyssey brand of putters.

They're different putters.

TaylorMade, Titleist, then Ping and Lab, but maybe Lab ahead of Ping now.

Two to four million putters sold a year in the United States, including another web putter sold to a buddy who beats me on the golf course all the time.

Another sold to a buddy of mine who bought it for his wife, who's got the child who's a valedictorian, where that bloodline or that brain line comes through her.

I am swearing off buying a new putter for the rest of this year.

And today's discussion is empathy matters.

And why do I say that?

Because empathy does matter.

Caring about other people matters.
