It was really pretty fun to watch 260 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.879 in hindsight, because I mean they're sitting there fretting over 261 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:57.840 what do we do this.

So 316 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:24.120 we're excited for a successful tournament. Hopefully the weather cooperates 317 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.679 a little bit tomorrow, and I think Saturday and Sunday 318 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:27.679 are gonna be pretty awesome. 319 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.240 Tell us about the move to La Poloma and why 320 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.279 did that happen, and what's your thoughts on how it went, 321 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.000 you know, really in the first time around last year. 322 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:40.840 Yeah, I mean, yeah, this is our second year at 323 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:44.120 O Pahoma. You know, been at OMNI for a number 324 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.600 of years, and and obviously there's a there's a long 325 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:51.720 standing relationship decades at at Omni. But you know, things, 326 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.480 you know, some good things come to an end, and 327 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.039 I think there was kind of a change that we needed. 328 00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:00.159 I think both entities kind of saw that and and 329 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.919 UH down a new home at La Pahoma, which has 330 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:06.480 been amazing and challenging getting a new venue and kind 331 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:08.679 of figuring out the way out and and how things work. 332 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.279 So you know, last year was our our test run. 333 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.960 But you know, they they love having us out here. 334 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:17.320 They've got the resort, you know, on site. So the 335 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.559 players love that because that was a big thing at 336 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:21.759 Omni with the resort there, and you know, they can 337 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.000 they can hang out here at the at the at 338 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.159 the clubhouse, they can go to the restaurants around there 339 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.000 or at La Palloma and uh, you know, go to bed, 340 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.600 wake up or all out of bed and hit the 341 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.240 uh hit the driving range in the morning. So got 342 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.480 some really good feedback. A little more challenging course, obviously 343 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.000 because at the Desert Desert course and a lot of 344 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.559 those guys were used to Omni. It's a little more 345 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.559 forgiving and and UH a lot more open. But you know, 346 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.279 we last year was I think the first UH tournament 347 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.720 where the golfers were able to use golf carts, and 348 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.440 so obviously that's needed out there. And and so I 349 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.399 think they had a little little challenge to kind of 350 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.240 get used to that, but I think I think they 351 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.279 embraced it, especially you know, having to walk around and 352 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.840 while ploma that's a that's a hike, So they definitely 353 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.679 like that cart to have them right around. 354 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:17.000 So what's the what's the uh, the contract with them 355 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:17.600 for how long? 356 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:18.440 I once you longer. 357 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.799 I've been a couple few more years here and I think, uh, 358 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.639 I think, you know, we may look at an extension 359 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:28.919 hopefully and if if not, you know, our our goal 360 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:32.480 of course for the case scores is always keep professional 361 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:36.519 golf in two songs. So it's uh, it's been a 362 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.080 great relationship. They love having us here. The facilities are awesome. 363 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.440 You know, the people here that work here are great, 364 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.679 and it's a really good relationship that we have with 365 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:47.399 with the course here. 366 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:50.240 How about the golf fan Are they okay with the 367 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.840 with the hilly course and you know it's just you 368 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:53.879 know walking that yeah. 369 00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.840 Again, kind of figuring that out last year, we we 370 00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:59.399 we had to kind of change some of the ingress 371 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.919 egress options here and and and also you've got the 372 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:08.000 pros on carts and maneuvering the pathways with the crowd. 373 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.480 We kind of figure out some weak points last year 374 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.799 and got this identified this year. But it's it's it's 375 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:17.519 nice here because you've got you know, you've got all 376 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:23.440 eighteen seventeen sixteen right right near the clubhouse. Fifteen's right 377 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:25.600 right next to it as well, So you've got four 378 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:31.200 really gratefuls that the public can easily walk to. You've 379 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.600 got those ones that want to get their steps in 380 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:35.559 and they can they can hike back, you know, to 381 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:40.440 the back holes. They'll definitely be be walking and going uphills. 382 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.799 But you know, some people like that challenge.
