And when you do get your hand-- show us that position again up there. Is there-- of course, you've got a great grip, and that sets the club. Of course, you got all these pretty positions right here. You got the flat wrist. Club face is matching it. The right forearm-- you're underneath the club.

Yeah.

Those are all very important when people either learn golf for the first time or-- these are positions that have stood the test of time. Everyone.
