[Music] Darren, happy birthday. 50 today. How much are you looking forward to joining the Legends Tour? No, I’m looking forward to a lot. Uh already we arrived at 12:00 and I had a shotgun start at 2. So I had an hour on the range and I managed to see a lot of old faces that I hadn’t seen in a while. So it was very very cool. A whirlwind start. Who were the guys that you saw out on the range and said hello to ory milking uh obviously South African guys. Keith Horn, um, David Ddale. Well, I saw David a few years ago on tour, but but yeah, it was actually quite strange seeing all the guys again. As much as the golf and hopefully getting yourself in contention at leaderboards, how much you looking forward to the social side a little bit as you move into your 50s? No, absolutely. Like uh again, like Ernie said, it’s like the reward. Being on the regular tour for 30 years, it’s it’s a senior’s golf is like the reward. You know, you come out here, it’s more relaxed. the guys are having a lot more fun. It’s not as uh well, I wouldn’t say it’s not as competitive. It’s definitely competitive, but it’s not as serious, I would say. You know, the younger guys more out there trying to prove themselves, whereas, you know, we’ve been on pro golfers for 30 30 years and 30 plus years. So, we got nothing to prove. We just come out here and do what we do and and enjoy doing it. Just finally, you’re starting off here in Ireland, Mount Julia. Absolutely beautiful. Are there any other places you’re particularly looking forward to on the schedule this year? I see we’re playing uh the PGA Trump. I’m definitely going to play that one. And uh and then Sunnindelle, the Open Seniors. I think that’s going to be quite a good one. I love that golf course. Darren, great to have you with us on the Legend. Look forward to seeing you in action. Good to be here. Thank you.
