We don't, most teams don't turn a profit.
We're a red loss every year, right? you know and so the pump did an awesome job and he was able to build it out to a point where we could afford to have golf clubs you know whatever you wanted get fitted the program will buy them for you whatever you wanted no problem the price wasn't a problem you know what a fantastic situation to be as a kid never had to pay for golf balls t times nothing you ask coach how much to owe you he'll tell you the same thing all good just work hard I'm like alright got you coach thank you I love you so it's kind of like that type of deal but yeah by the end of it man we had 18 GC quads one per player on women's and men's team we had a track man
