Stephen HamblinGUEST
Well, we started doing extremely well with our fundraising efforts, with our sponsorship efforts and we looked at where we were now.

Stephen HamblinGUEST
And I said, In keeping with trying to become more accessible, more affordable, I informed my CEO.

Stephen HamblinGUEST
He turned a little green when I said it, but I go, we got a 10-year plan here to reduce all of our fees, tournament fees, qualifier fees, membership fees.

Can you tell us a little bit about the stars, the PBE stars that players talk about so often?

Stephen HamblinGUEST
We were at one of our major events and I, I saw, I don't know, three or four couples sitting down at a table enjoying a glass of wine, and I sat down with them and I said, "Okay, if you're executive director for a day, what change would you make?" And they initially said, "Oh, Steve, you guys do a great job.

Stephen HamblinGUEST
I know there's something we can do better." And they all to a T said, "You should create a better transition from US Kids Golf to the AJGA.

Stephen HamblinGUEST
Because we all played US Kids Golf, and then we had to start all over, you know, when it came time to try to play AJGA.

Stephen HamblinGUEST
You should create that bridge." And so I called, uh, Dan Van Horn and, and Chris, and we had lunch and we talked about it, and came up with, yeah, let's, let's give your top players that are moving on in age, let's give your top players an opportunity to earn their way, a, a pathway if you will, to the AJGA.
