Um, s- so the first question I suppose is how do golf courses opt in or out? And then secondly, just, um, I know you mentioned that, that there, even in the article that you said some of the courses are sort of, or the management were unhappy of where their rankings were and, and decided to opt out and, and maybe you can just comment on that.
15:07
Yeah.
15:07
Well, look, it'd be nice to have all the courses in the rankings.
15:10
I think that would be the happy solution, but we have a very unique situation in South Africa, whereas we haven't got many golf courses for a start.
15:19
So to do a top 100 is actually quite ambitious.
15:22
If you look at maybe there's 220 18-hole courses in South Africa, so I don't think there's no other country in the world with so few golf courses has a top 100.
15:33
They would normally say maybe go to top 20, 25, you know, and they just pick out their best courses.
