All right guys welcome back to the podcast spent some time at the PGA show last week and was able to meet David McLean kid

0:07.1

And we immediately started talking about him coming on the podcast. So this is a definitely a different look. It is the first ever architect we've had on the

0:14.0

podcast and another one of our takeaways from the PGA show after spending some time at

0:19.0

the Calloway booth was the buzz and the excitement over the new chrome soft golf ball.

0:24.0

One of the R&D guys actually gave us a kind of a walk-through of the new material

0:28.0

called Graffine. This is a Nobel wit prize winning revolutionary carbon material. It's known as the world's

0:35.2

lightest and strongest material. You can cover an entire football field in a

0:39.3

thin layer of this material and it will weigh less than a dime. So this demonstration definitely

0:44.0

caught our attention. It's in the Chrome Soft and Chrome Soft X-ball and it's an

0:48.1

infused outer core with grapheen allowing them to engineer a thinner outer core

0:52.3

it yet but I'm super pumped to try this out in 2018. Callaway Golf

1:11.6

dot com slash Chrome Soft 2018 for more on the ball that

1:15.5

changed the ball. Let's get now to David McLean Kid. Apologies on the

1:19.8

audio on my end. We switched from Skype over to FaceTime to get because of some

1:25.2

technical difficulties and my mic settings were not turned on for FaceTime

1:30.0

so it recorded through my Macbook. So my part of the audio is not perfect, but I don't talk that much in it anyway. So enjoy David McLean Kid, really enjoyed this one, and thanks for tuning in. Hey, that's better than most.

How about in?
