Hi, I'm Brandon Hill from Boise, Idaho, and I play at Eagle Hills Golf Course. Welcome to Golf

Smart. Hi, this is Robert Hill from Hebrew and Kentucky, and I play at Boonlink's Golf Course.

This is Golf Smarter number 1028. And now we have a new mission to prove that we made the right

decision, and the right decision doesn't just mean the right decision for us. It means the right decision for the consumer. This is ultimately going to produce better product, hopefully at better prices and just an all-around better experience that goes beyond what anybody's experience before simply by buying a putter. So we like the challenge of needing to sort of re-earn everybody's trust.

And so far, I think we're doing a pretty good job. I mean, it's funny, like you read the comments online. I got really overwhelmed a week after the announcement was made. And when we screw up, because we're so engaged with everybody, it always seems like a much bigger deal. Like when somebody gets a crooked grip, they put it on the lab rats page with 50,000 fans and they lose their minds.

But six months ago, we'd put a crooked grip out and somebody take a picture over it and say, what gives. And everybody would be like, man, take it easy. They're a small company from Oregon. Leave them alone. It's just one grip. Don't worry about it. And people would like have our backs. Week after the announcement comes up, somebody put a picture of a crooked grip up there.

It's like, C.P.E. already cutting corners.

Thanks, Fred.

Thanks for having me back, pal.

You kidding?

I mean, I would have you on more often,

but I know that you're so busy doing your own social media.

My God, you're everywhere.

It's worked very well for you, by the way.

It's right, it.

I like it out here in social media land. Yeah. Yeah, between the podcasts and the videos and getting people fitted and showing off their new putter and how to do it. But I think my favorite is beat the boss. I love being. Yeah, it's been a business. We've got to get another one out there. We've got two episodes in the can, or one episode in the can.
