Is there is there one individual club you’ve built that stands out as your your crown in glory? Uh I I’d say more of a moment, right? Um was probably the Open Championship that Colin won. Uh yeah, that that was wild. Absolutely wild. Give the back story to that cuz that was a Scottish Open change, wasn’t it? Scottish Open. First time he’s playing lynx. Uh realizes a bunch of things. calls me Sunday night. We change the weight in his putter. We make it heavier so that he can he can get get more more more energy into the golf ball for the speed of the greens. We change his wedge to obviously a low bounce wedge, which he realized you now need on on Link’s golf course. We we changed a full set of irons for a set that had better turf interaction for him, which he felt within 30 minutes of testing. Um, and everything done before midday on Monday, I never even saw him again that week besides a, you know, a hello. So normally that by even normally you know if that if that happened Wednesday afternoon you’re still grinding numbers checking you know what I mean you got to be sure to be sure to be sure the you know a club switch at a major is a big deal right um goes on sitting in front of the TV and he’s winning the open feels good. Yeah, amazing. I mean, it was, you know, I hope that answered your question, but but yeah, moving um and and if you knew Colin, you would know that that was exactly how he wanted it to pan out, you know, his ability in himself and and his trust in the equipment and and and the tech, the equipment, how how it’s working. He he learned that very quickly.
