So can you explain to our listeners why this situation happened last year at Royal Melbourne?

Yeah, no problem, Mark.

Look, love the passion, you and Nick, about playing in two balls, but, um, the realities are that when we have a, a 65 in ties cut, uh, and we had 74 players make the cut at the, the Australian Open last year, couple that with, um, a TV finish time for the broadcast of 5:00, we simply just don't have enough time, uh, in the day to get it all played in, in two balls.

And it would mean that we're probably starting play on Saturday and Sunday a little bit after 6:00 in the morning.

Um, and whilst it's daylight, that does mean that the range is gonna open at 4:00 and the players' lunch is gonna open at 4:00, and, and that's not a really great experience for, for those players out early.

It's certainly not a great experience for our, our very, um, our very needy volunteers or very worthy volunteers and, and the spectators as well.

So I'll be cheering for a low cut.

Yeah.
