0:00.0	Hi, this is Jim Omquist, long-time golf smarter listener and teaching professional at
0:07.2	Sao Paulo Golf Club in Sao Paulo Brazil.
0:10.2	This is Golf Smarter number 952.
0:12.6	What do you have on that hole?
0:13.7	Buggy.
0:14.1	Now, you said something a few minutes ago about a piece of advice that an instructor gave you

1:29.9	the 2028 PGA Championship, and the 2032 Ryder Cup. I've never played the championship
