Welcome to the Golf Smarter Podcast, Scott.

Hi, Fred. It's an honor to be here. Thank you.

Oh, well, gee.

It's an honor to have you on this show.

Thank you very much for agreeing.

The reason we came together is you made some comments on LinkedIn in a golfers group that intrigued me talking about rules for new golfers.

Yes.

And, you know, although the golf smarter audience is a mixture of new golfers who are just getting addicted to the game,

and players who are not only not PGA tour players, but we have PGA instructors from all over the world,

and people who are always trying to get family members

to introduce to the game.

So I'd love to talk about your idea, rules for new golfers, and why we need to have rules

for new golfers.

So the game is losing more players, just as many players, if not more players, than it's

gaming every week.
