So, Larry,
thanks for joining me to uh today to give us an interview on the Dime Network.
How are you?
Fantastic. Thank you for having me. I'm excited.
Yeah,
I'm definitely excited to just learn more about you
and your love of the sport of golf.
Um,
but I'd like to just get started a little bit on your background
and just learn a little bit more about what your disability is.
Ok.
Well, I'm uh, I was wounded during the invasion of Panama back in 89 and I sustained uh
an L one L two spinal cord injury.
So I got shot multiple times, uh twice in the hip and once up in the lap.
Ok.
And so when it comes to then the game of golf, then how does that,
how does that affect you on the game of golf?
Well, since I can't stand.
So I now I use uh an adaptive golf cart called solar rider that allows me to get
all access to the whole course. You know,
you know, the old still joke is it goes everywhere but water.
So, but yeah,
it'll get you on the greens and the trap and get you in the traps and in and out.
Uh, I mean, naturally there's some traps you can't get in and out of, uh,
pretty much hops up on the curbs, you know, as long as they're not like,
super big or anything like that.
Now, have you always been athletic and just into different sports in general?
Yes. Well, you know, in high school I played baseball and football and then
I joined the army, you know, out of high school and stuff and,
and then, you know, it was a paratrooper of the, a grunt.
So, the naturally athletic ability through
being a soldier.
Ok. And how long did you, have you been playing golf?
Well, I've started playing golf back in 2001.
0, wow.
So, it's been, what, 22 almost 23 years now.
Oh, wow.
And, and
I, I never, I never played prior to my injury, so I got hurt in 89
and then, uh, I didn't start picking up golf until 2001.
Well, then what led you to that sport? Was it just maybe friends and family or?
Yeah.
Yeah, I,
much of my high school buddies and stuff started picking up golf around 2000,
you know.
So I was just, like, curious.
So I, uh, kind of got on the internet back, you know,
before you had all this fancy stuff now.
Uh, and then I just kind of go, well, when Google was just search, I just,
I just searched, you know, for disabled golfing and,
and I came across this lady who taught here in Phoenix locally.
Her name is Ky
Corbin.
Uh, and, you know, I did a few lessons with her,
you know, probably six or seven in, you know, in my wheelchair.
And then I progressed, you know,
she was because I went out to this one golf course that was out in, out in feed.
So it was like an ex uh, par nine
and that's where she taught at it.
But she told me that there was another city course out of the solar rider.
So you may want to progress from the wheelchair to the Adaptive cart and then
went over there and,
you know, I stayed on the driving range for a couple more, you know,
a couple more weeks.
And then finally the guy in the,
the
golf stuff, are you ever gonna go out on the golf course and play?
So then, you know, I went out, my first round was 100 and 27
and then like three months later, I had my first hole in one
and shot 99.
And, uh, the funny thing is I hit
a,
I had a hole in one before my first birdie.
So that was kind of a weird, that was kind of weird. Yeah. But
yeah, yeah.
So what was that transition?
Like, even just going from your wheelchair to the Adaptive cart.
Uh,
well, it wasn't, it, it was, it was great because
pushing a wheelchair up, uh, just, you know, just to get up to the driving range.
A little hill was like,
and then, you know, you're flat and then you,
you don't have any support inside your chair. So
when I got to the solar rider, that's when, you know,
you kind of strap yourself in and you're a little higher up,
you're higher up than a typical wheelchair.
So it was a lot easier to get a, a better swing plane.
Oh, nice, nice.
So, I imagine that with the beautiful weather out in Arizona, you play
pretty regularly, right?
You're not,
I'm out here in Pittsburgh so we have a clear winter where there is snow on the ground.
You are not golfing. I don't care if you like it or not,
but in Arizona you have the benefit of being able
to enjoy your sport year round if I'm correct.
Yeah, it's definitely, you definitely play year round.
It's just once you get in a certain part of the year,
you gotta watch it because it gets expensive here.
So that's our, that's our drawback is, you know,
you get here in, uh, uh, December, January, February,
especially when March rolls around spring training with the Phoenix Open.
Uh,
you know, it, you know,
I mean, I,
I got it good because II I kind of average
throughout the year because I got a true card.
So
it kind of averages out to be about, well, now that the rates, I keep it about 50 bucks,
you know?
Well, this year is a little bit more. It's because of the supply and demand out here.
I mean, the rates never really went down as much as they usually do.
Like now it's, it's golf season, Arizona for the locals.
The summer is here, the temperature is higher and the prices come down.
But to answer your question, yeah, I do play, you know, year round there.
You know, my whole drawback here is I have to watch because we call over,
we have overeating out here is where they, they plant the winter eye.
So I have to take, I usually get, I have to take that month off. So
I don't have to stop because of weather.
I have to stop because of their, their reconditioning the golf courses,
transitioning the golf courses from, you know, your summer to your winter eye.
I see. Ok. Ok.
And then how often do you generally practice
well?
Since I started, you know, since I started playing competitively, I, you know,
this year, this year I practice
like three or four times a week.
And then I'll, I'll play usually like once or twice depending because I got a,
a membership over at an executive course out in Mesa called Augusta Ranch.
And, uh,
so I, I went through an
option. It was great. But, uh,
so that's where I go work on my short game.
And then I also my, my, my instructors out there as well,
you know.
So I go out there,
I go out there with him and they also let me keep my card out
there because I do have a cart but they let you keep it out there.
But, uh, then when I want to play the,
the full executive or the championship courses,
that's when I go to Whirlwind out here in,
in, uh, Chandler. And that's when I use my tr card and
that's when, you know, you gotta watch, like, this time of year it's gone down.
But you go
January, February March, you know, it's,
you're talking 100 and something dollars, you can't play,
ok.
You know, you can only play some, you know.
Yeah.
So
our limitation,
our limitation is not weather limitations is because we're tour
tourist destination.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
My, my cousin is a golf, uh,
fanatic and used to be a recruiter for a university
and his favorite part was traveling because he could,
then golf year round in spite of being from Pittsburgh because he was always
country. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So, but,
yeah, so do, so what, how many tournaments have you participated in?
And when did you start, uh, playing golf competitively?
Well, my first time was in 2019 with, uh, uh, the US, uh, disabled Open with, uh,
Jason Fairclough.
Uh,
So that was my first back in 2019 in Virginia.
And that year I did that, I did three tournaments that year.
Uh,
and then, uh,
so that year was good because I have finished first in one and then second,
the other two, but I finished first overall.
So that was kind of fun. That was kind of cool. Um,
and then, uh, my, my, uh, we've been the COVID year came, So I didn't really,
I didn't play,
I, I didn't play that year because of the COVID.
I played with the Veterans Golf Association.
So,
you know, so that kind of picked up the slack there.
And then, uh, last year was, was good because I, uh,
I played three,
uh, tournaments with the, uh, adaptive with Adaptive Tour. And then I also,
uh,
happened to win my west region with the veterans, got the VG A.
So I got to go for the championship out in New Jersey and got to play ball straw and, uh,
playing field out there.
So that was beautiful. So, last year I played
like five or six tournaments.
And then this year I've already played in two and then I'm heading out this week for,
uh,
Jason's tournament, the US, uh, disabled Open.
And then,
and then, then, uh,
July becomes the United States golf as Associates US Adaptive Open.
So that's the big tournament we've been waiting for. And that's in July. So
that's where I'm start starting to take me out and then what I do from that point is,
I, I don't know, just because I've, I've got three kids,
I got two identical twin daughters with Down Sy,
with Down Syndrome and diabetes. So,
uh, me leaving puts a lot of pressure on my wife. So,
so I, I gotta kind of kind of balance that.
I mean, she allowed me to do it because of the USGA S,
uh, championship, the US Adaptive Open. So she allowed me to kinda go
kind of
pause the wall with it. You know,
it, it's definitely about,
you know, so, I mean, it was, it was a real honor to get, you know, selected to play
in July. So, you know, that's,
you know, here's my tune up coming up this week is my tune up to get ready for that.
So I'm really excited for that. So,
yeah. Yeah. No, no, that's really awesome. That's really awesome.
I'll be at that one as well.
Um,
so
how do you prepare for your tournaments?
Is there anything that you do to prepare or do you, you know, uh, uh,
do you maybe practice a little bit more,
practice differently or focus on certain aspects of it?
Yeah.
What I kind of, what I kind of do is I try to work on, like, I'll take a week, like, I,
I'll break out three weeks of advance and
one week I'll work on approach shots,
uh, and then another week,
I'll work on my short game and stuff and then the week before I just kind of just
like, uh,
like today I played
and, and what I did today just to see what I need to work on to, you know,
to see where my game is.
And so, uh, and then like, tomorrow I'll go
because I got
the whirlwind is actually allowing me to practice from
now through the Us Adaptive Open as a,
as
an ambassador. So I'm excited for that.
So, uh,
but I'll go out like tomorrow and work on, uh my, my,
my pitching and stuff just to kind of,
and then see if I can find any rough around and work on that kind of stuff.
But yeah, so that's what I kind of do. I break it into three weeks out
and then I try to play a little bit more but space it out so my body doesn't break down.
So it's all endurance because that third round on the last round, you know,
you gotta be, you still gotta be strong.
So,
yeah, I mean, I, I don't play golf personally
but, um,
my husband does and I do know he has mentioned that there is
certainly a level of endurance and then he also just likes the,
the fact that you're also competing with yourself in, in a lot of ways.
Yeah.
Yeah, because I mean, that's what, that's my, that's where I'm at with right now,
it used to be about
going and trying to win and all that.
But now I kind of focus more on, I, I want to keep my rounds within a certain,
I want to be consistent.
And if I play my best and leave the golf course, like, you know,
I played my best and somebody shot better.
I mean, there's nothing you can do about that.
It's golf, you know.
So, I mean, that's my goal, like when I go out here this week,
my goal is to keep off three rounds in the eighties
and then
if I can do that, keep in the mid to upper eighties, I'll be happy and then
if somebody shoots better, then that's just,
that's what it is, you know, I mean, I, I
can't,
not necessarily a golfer who you anticipate being at, uh, the US DG A for instance,
where you're thinking, oh, I wanna make sure, you know, like I,
I definitely want to compete or not compete but, uh, beat this person.
Oh, yeah. No, there, I'm going there to win. That's, that's, I mean,
no, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't judge that.
But I mean, I'm just saying if I go out there and I put three good rounds together
and I don't win,
there's nothing I can do about that.
But when I'm going there to play three good rounds that are gonna win.
Ok.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
No, no, I I'm not, I'm not showing up to, to lose. No, that's not.
No.
But I, I mean, I, I can't, you know, I'm 53 years old, you know, just being out there,
you know.
You know, I mean,
I won, you know, I mean, I, I shouldn't have made it this far.
I should have died on that battlefield that day.
But, um,
you know, I made it through. So now this is all this icing on the cake.
Now I get my competitive juices going,
you know, because there are a couple of other guys that we, you know,
we compete against, you know,
like Billy Fryar who's being him in battling for three years.
And now there's a Dennis Walters who's a hall of fame golfer. He does a trick sharp,
you know, he's out there now. Um
So yeah, there, there's guys that, you know, you want to beat and all that,
that stuff.
But like I said, if, if, if I shoot in the nineties, I'm not beating anybody.
So when I, you know, I put the, the goal of, you know, I need to shoot these numbers.
If these numbers, I shoot,
I'm happy if they're, they don't win.
You know, that's, but yeah, no, it's like our first term of the year, first year.
You know, I went, I in Tucson and I won that one and then
I went to Texas and came in second behind Billy Pry. But uh
we had one rat.
We were supposed to by three and one, you know, we only end up playing two. So,
and I lost by two. But that's,
but I played good. So that was the main thing.
And then, you know, and then the com, you know, then the, the,
the main thing about this whole thing is meeting new people.
Uh,
I mean, like, there's,
there's one guy that always taught me that
if you play in a, in a tournament and you don't know the guys you played with that day,
then you, you, you didn't come here, you didn't get the right,
you didn't get the whole experience.
So the whole experience is actually getting
to know the players you're playing with
and watching their abilities because I mean,
it, it's, you know, I'm in a wheelchair so I play from AAA Adaptive Cart.
So, but now there's people out there with one leg,
you know, amputees one arm. Uh
There's this one guy Jim Hunt who has, you know, he has,
he has four prosthetics and it's just, I mean,
or, or the guy that's up there on one leg hit.
I mean,
it's just amazing just to watch the different abilities that each player has.
So,
so that's,
that's also the main thing is one of the main
things is also to you're going there to socialize and,
you know, inspire each other because we all inspire each other.
Yeah. So, and that's kind of what it's all about. And then,
you know, another thing that II I take pride in is
I have a lot of people watching me on Facebook and, you know, all that good stuff,
families and friends and, you know, they need a little inspiration
watching Larry play golf. Sure.
It makes it a little better. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Well,
it's great to hear that there is so much camaraderie
on the golf course and off the golf course.
Um,
but, yeah, I mean, I would, I just in thinking about what you're saying about
sort of seeing and being, um,
you know, being able, allowing other people to, to see you as well. Um, does that,
do you think about that or does that play, uh, uh,
any significance for you having a disability and now being in this, you know,
professional realm and now other people who are younger, who have a disability,
know
that they can play the sport of golf as well and where it can lead them and
they lead them to these competitive tournaments.
Yeah, we, uh, I mean, as old guys, we realize that, you know, kids are coming
and we know after once July rolls around
and the USGA us Adaptive Open kicks in
and I, we don't know if it's gonna be televised or if there, how much,
once that gets out these young kids are gonna come,
you know, it's just like any other sport, you know,
it's just right now,
we're just kind of the pioneers and the whole whole thing is to grow the sport,
uh,
get people out, get people out in the fresh air. Uh,
I mean, it, it, it's, it's amazing what chasing that ball around does for you.
I mean, it's,
you know, it, it keeps you thinking every day, uh,
keeps you hoping it keeps your spirits up,
you know, and then, like you said, and then once you
get good at it and now you've realized whoa,
there's play, there's other places you can go compete now and
yeah, like, like I said, we, me and Billy, we used to talk about that all the time.
It's like
the young hitters are common,
you know, they're kind, you know, it's like, so it's like, that's why I'm excited,
you know.
You know, it's always nice to be the first and,
you know, and this July, there's six of us that are in the seat of and,
and, and we're gonna be the first. So,
you know,
there's not very many times in somebody's life to
say you were the first to do something.
Yeah. Yeah. You're pioneering
for sure. You know.
So, yeah, so it, there, you know, we carries a little thing on our shoulders but,
you know, in the end it's,
it's there to grow the game and get everybody excited to say, hey, well,
they can do it, you know, anybody can do, you know, I can do this.
But yeah, it's, it's common and we're excited for it and like I said,
we've all been waiting for this and, and it's,
you know, so,
yeah.
So is there anything that, um, being a veteran
that any sort of, you know, whether it's a mindset or a skill set that you
transfer from being a veteran to now being,
um, a golfer and playing professionally competitively?
Um,
well, I mean, ii,
I mean, I guess it goes back to just the whole competitive thing and even,
even when you're in the military, you're competitive with your,
you know, whether it would be,
you know, you, your, your other units when you're out training.
And so, I mean, there's always that competitive spirit and, and,
and with golf with the military kept that competitive,
but when I got hurt at a young age, you know, I lost that
competitive, uh,
you know, competitive edge or not competitive edge,
but I'd lost that competitive camaraderie and stuff and,
and then golf brought that back.
And, uh,
you know, the, the one story I would like to tell is that, you know, the,
my very first tournament back in 2019, I, uh,
I woke up the first day,
the first mor the morning of the first tournament, I just started crying.
I didn't know why and,
you know, call my dad up and,
you know, like,
because why, what's wrong, what's wrong?
I don't know. I, I waited 30 years for, you know, to get out and
compete again against, you know, uh,
similar disabilities or abilities and, and other, you know,
so, you know, it's so, yeah, it, it, it's the competitive part in the military.
I mean, it's all the same, it all goes hand in hand. I,
I mean, that's who I was and that's who I am. I'm a soldier and golf, actually,
golf actually got me back out and to, you know,
be with other veterans and other disabilities and stuff. So, yeah, golf,
golf done, you know, helped a lot with.
So, how old were you when you were wounded in 89?
Oh, I was 20 I was, uh, I got shirt
two months for my 21st birthday.
Oh, wow. Ok. So
three days before Christmas?
Ok.
And so then
you began playing golf at around 31 then I guess,
said math. Right?
Yeah, that is. Yeah.
Yeah, because then I, I, because I, I got a long story short, I got my, came back,
got my accounting degree with a minor in political science from a su
go devils. Uh,
and then, you know, and then I went to work for the state of Arizona,
the county because I got a minor, uh, I got a major in accounting.
So I got, I went and worked for the state for like, five years and then I ret retired,
you know, my body was, wasn't cooperating
and people were doing
I was making more money than them and they were doing more than me.
And it's like, so I ret retired,
pick up golf. Um,
I
started dating one of the girls that I worked
with and now we're married with three kids.
So, you know,
so
things work, things working in mysterious ways,
you know.
Yeah. Everything happens for a reason, you know,
happens. Uh, what the way it should happen when it should happen, you know?
Yeah.
So, yeah. So, you know, I, I always believe, you know, we make our destiny, you know,
it's not, I mean,
I, I don't believe in the
things happen for a reason.
I
mean, I didn't get shot for a reason,
you know, I got shot because I was doing what I wanted to do.
Uh,
you know, people because I got my twin daughters with Down syndrome diabetes.
No, I mean, it's, things don't happen for me.
Things just happen and you deal with them and,
you know, because, you know, like my whole thing is, you know,
we feel me and my wife feel sorry for
other people when people are looking at us thinking,
oh, he's in a wheelchair and he's got these daughters who have special needs and uh,
son who's highly
now we look at you and, and, and we kind of like, whoa, how do they do it?
So, you know.
You know, because like I said, I,
I've done a lot, I mean, I've been in 19 Super Bowls. I've been to,
I've been to the World Series, I've been to NBA finals.
So, I mean, I've lived my life and
now golf's just like, brings like a whole new sense of
a
whole new life.
So that actually brings up, um, a
running,
not the,
but thought and conversation that I've had with people many times, uh,
in terms of people looking at
other people, looking at
you and your family and thinking, oh, how do they do it all?
You know, almost sort of inspirational.
And I
did,
it sounds like if you're saying you are not
anybody's inspiration and don't wanna be somebody's inspiration.
Is that how I am I understanding you correctly?
Uh
That's kind of
just because I know that that's certainly
a, a,
I'm a humble person. I don't think, I, I mean, I just live, I, I, my philosophy is
he who laughs most wins and you get delta hand, the car,
you get a delta hand and you gotta play it.
You can't just fold, right? So, I mean, I, I have had people say,
I mean, I have had family members say Larry, how long are you gonna be able to do this?
It's like play golf when they say do this, I mean, play golf. I
know with my daughters and everything.
Oh, ok.
You know how, how are you gonna,
you know, I mean, because I got one of my daughters is nonverbal so she's, you know,
she's a challenge and stuff and they're like,
you know, 53 they're 14.
They're like,
sorry.
And I, what do you mean? I don't know any other way,
you know?
So, yeah.
Uh II, I take pride in, in inspiring people. Um,
but I'm also humble. I don't,
I, I,
yeah,
I just, I mean, I just believe life is what you make of it and, and
I, I go around smile because I know people,
people appreciate that, you know, because
the whole, the, you know,
another thing I always talk about when I talk about me being in a wheelchair,
it's up to me
and this is my opinion. People have their own opinion but
it's up to me to make you feel comfortable around Larry.
Ok? Because
I'm, I'm the one who's, who's
different, you know, and,
and so that's why I'm always smiling happy and that's why when, you know,
I walk down the street
now I have my son tell me all the time. Dad, do you know them?
Like no, I just always say hi to people,
you know, because people, and then they,
then that opens them up to see that I am a human.
I am a person,
you know, I'm not just some guy in a wheelchair, you know, half person or however,
you know, you know, whatever people want to say
that, you know, there is,
there is somebody there, you know, that is,
is is fun to be around, you know, so
that's kind of why I take pride in, you know,
it's up to me to make you feel comfortable around me.
That's one of my other
kind of things that I kind of go by,
which is something that all of us really
could take a lesson from. Right.
I mean, because we, we all enter at some point or another,
we've all entered spaces or will enter a space that is
foreign to us and we may be foreign to other people.
And we could certainly take a cue from that in terms of
doing whatever we need to do to make the, the crowd or whomever feel comfortable.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, it can come just as easily as a smile.
I mean, a smile goes a long way, I think.
Oh,
yeah. Oh, yeah.
No, I, I always say you call somebody a bad name with a smile and you get away with it.
Yeah,
you're gonna live with a little bit more than if you just did it with a frown. And
then, and then again, I, I, I'm lazy so it takes less energy to smile.
Yeah. Less muscles. Yes. Yeah.
So, uh,
but, you know, I guess that I, you know, I,
I got a whole background when I got hurt and how, how it made me who I am today in a way,
I think.
And
so, I mean, I guess, said 20 years old. You get shot, you think you're invincible
and you lose your legs and,
and then you have to find your way through life again because,
you know, I grew up where, you know,
people made fun of people differently and all
that back in the seventies and eighties.
And, uh,
so, you know, II I had a little tough time when I first, you know,
to get out after I got hurt to get out to the public and all that.
But I had some, I had good family. I had a, you know,
good. I mean, when I got hurt the hospital, all the, all the,
the doctors and nurses and AIDS and, I mean, it was just, I had just so much support.
I mean, at one point I was as young as
wounded soldier in the VA system.
Oh, wow.
Oh, well, I mean, I, I, oh, yeah.
So, I, you know, so there's, there's kind of a lot of things, you know, like, you know,
I,
that, that changes you,
I
mean, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. No, I mean, you, yeah, I mean,
the, the one thing I would, you know, I don't ever regret anything I've done,
you know, people ask you, there's nothing I regret.
I mean, there's something that I could have done a little different maybe, but
I'm here, I'm 53. Getting ready to go compete for a golf national championship.
Um,
so, you know, I don't regret anything. I did I mean, there's,
there's one thing that I wish I could have but it,
I don't know if it was a subconscious thing.
It's just,
I, I, if with, with people, if I wasn't gonna see you within a,
a month or so or two months I would not contact. But then
when I get, and I don't know if that's just because when I got hurt or,
you know, that that'd be the only one thing, you know, just keep in contact with,
with everybody.
But, you know,
but I always pick up right there when I see somebody else. So,
but that, you know, but yeah, no, I, uh,
I, like I said, I can go on forever about, you know,
when I got hurt and all that good stuff and how
it made me who I am
because, uh, one like, you know, one, another good thing is about DC
is for the US Adaptive Open is, uh,
I'm taking my son with me, my 17 year old son
and, uh,
because, you know, and, and we're going to go to my friend's grave site because he,
he got hurt.
He got killed in Panama.
And so, you know, so we're gonna go to his grave site and he's gonna see his dad cry
and
see his dad laugh and
yeah,
you know, I hope he,
he, he get, he understands,
you know, where I came from and who I am.
Have you
the stories with your family or your son specifically?
Oh, they know. Yeah. Yeah.
So, but like I said, it, it, it's, it's good. We're gonna go see Manrique's grave and,
you know, I, I, this is my third time and,
and die.
It's the hardest thing.
It's one, it, it's the hardest thing I ever did
and I did it twice.
This is gonna be three times and,
but hopefully each time it gets easier because, I mean,
we see his brother on Facebook and all that.
They were there today. So,
you know, somehow excited because I get to go a week after they were there. And
so, but, yeah, so hopefully, you know,
he gets to go there and appreciate and understand, you know,
you know, what people have
gave for, you know, for freedom, you know,
and all that good stuff, you know.
So,
so, yeah,
almost feels sort of apropos to be
having this conversation on Memorial Day weekend.
Oh, yeah. No. Yeah, I said
those kind of things work, work in my serious ways, you know, it's like,
you know,
because we're small, you know, it's not as big as we think it is. And so, yeah.
Yeah, it is kind of,
uh, ironic that, you know, we're right, right around.
I didn't even real, I didn't even think when we're going out there Thursday,
that Memorial Day was Monday.
I didn't even,
I just was thinking of the tournament and then I'm going to the Arlington.
So, I mean, I, I'm ecstatic. I'm excited,
you know, I'm sad, but
I'm gonna get to go see my, my buddy's grave site and share it with my son and
hopefully it gets a little out of it.
Yeah.
So,
well, Larry,
I appreciate your time and being able to allow me
to interview you and certainly wish you all the best
and a great game at the tournament coming up. And
so, and I look forward to seeing you in person because I will be.
Yeah, I, like I said, uh, I'm ready. I mean, it's all up here now.
Yeah, I mean,
yeah,
you know, I know how to hit every shot. I know where balls gotta go. I know how to put.
I know how to chip and so it's all up here and not letting the course, you know,
get to you.
Yeah.
All right. Well, thanks so much. You have a great night. Oh, no, my pleasure.
Thank you. And I appreciate it and then we'll see you in,
in a week or so.
We'll see you then.
