And then nine months ago I got a call about, uh, an interesting opportunity to lead Topgolf.
David McKillipsGUEST
And I thought, "Wow, what a cool brand." And, uh, and ultimately I ended up here, and, you know, it was through the spinoff of, of Callaway and the acquisition by Leonard Green Partners, and I joined in February.

Evan RooseveltGUEST
And, uh, really excited to hear about his ambitious plans to, um, you know, right the ship a little bit.
Evan RooseveltGUEST
You know, Topgolf has experienced some, some challenges with same-site visits and, you know, folks come once, they have a great time and, and how you keep them coming back and create a really sticky experience within that, um, is I think a big question.
Evan RooseveltGUEST
And, you know, I think that him and the team and the leadership group at, at Leonard Green Partners, um, have some really good ideas about how to bring the golf back into Topgolf, and so e- excited to see how it evolves over the next couple of years.
Jimmy RobertsHOST
McKillop said that by their evaluation they are about 65%, uh, of the folks who come there are not, you know, hardcore golfers.
Chris SalernoGUEST
Your larger PE firms have backed some of your largest car wash companies.
Chris SalernoGUEST
KKR, Warburg Pincus, Leonard Green and Partners, and I can count less than 10 of your, I mean large, when I say large, I mean over 50 billion AUM type of PE companies are in the car wash sector because of the tax benefits, because of the cash flow.
Chris SalernoGUEST
For those that get their car washed, if their local city owner of that site has done it right, it costs about $1.25 to run your car through that tunnel.
Chris SalernoGUEST
The minimum wash is, depending on the city and where you're at, $10 to $12 if you're just paying cash.
