How would you describe your teaching style?
1:33
Well, yeah.
1:33
I mean, I, um, actually was started in management for the most part, and was a general manager, worked for Troon for a number of years and, and then, uh, and then Intrawest Golf.
1:45
And after Intrawest Golf, it, which that company kind of went out of business, so we kind of, uh, we kind of almost reinvent ourselves, but, uh, we look, you know, looked at different things and, and just started...
1:57
I always wanted to kind of be around golf, so we just, uh, one of the, contacted one of the, the school districts here and offered, you know, to teach after school golf.
2:08
And from there, I guess it just kind of turned into more and more, you know, parents asking, you know, "What do we do from here? What do we do from here?" And end up kind of following me along, you know, and, and just, just to create more and more stuff for the kids.
2:21
So, you know, I look more at the shape of the golf swing, I guess, when they go to look at, well, you know, obviously we're teaching the basics, you know, grip and stance and all that.

I wanna go ahead and go back to the interview and ask you, this is a, the really big question, and I don't expect you to have the full answer, but I've asked other guests this on the show and, uh, it's the reason why we started the podcast, is, uh, what is one way or some ways that we as an industry can help keep growing the game of golf?
