I've heard there was a lot of hard work, is that right?

That's correct, yes.

When we first came here, all of the land that we have here was all covered in grass and tree stumps.

So it took about three different sessions to actually get it removed.

And we were all so proud when it finally came out.

It's challenging in the sense that you have to have something that will translate for different levels.

You cannot play something that would be a competition piece.

You're looking for repetitive phrases.

And you're making it as simple and as quick to learn to be fair.

How have you found this 2026 season?
