Yes.

Were you a junior golfer? Were...

Did you grow up at the country club?

I did.

I have played golf my entire life, but never very well and never very seriously.

Mm-hmm.

So, um, I was the type of golfer, you know, who would ride around on a buggy, who would have a beer on the front nine and a beer on the back nine, maybe two if-

Two

... things were going well.

[laughs] Yeah.

And, you know, shoot 92-

Yeah
