00:00We're here inside Golf Cave. I have Dave with me. Dave, tell us a little bit about your
00:07background. I played golf all my life. I started four years old, come from eastern part of Canada,
00:16Quebec, where the golf season is that long. Golf season starts usually beginning of June
00:22and end of December. That's pretty much it. So it's not like a golfing paradise. Hockey was
00:28my sport. This is where, like, you know, Canadians, that's all we do, play hockey. But my parents
00:35played golf. So I was involved in golf from an early age and became a golf professional at 19 years old.
00:45Studied in Canada as well. I never played college in the U.S. as a golf team. I wish, but
00:51it is what it is. So became a golf professional really early. I was a club pro, a teaching pro,
00:58and then became better. I'm a late bloomer at golf. I became good at golf around 30 years old.
01:05And this is where I started winning tournaments and playing. I played. I never had my card on the
01:12PGA Tour, but I played multiple PGA Tour events. I played minor league golf. I have over 35 professional
01:19wins in Canada, like sectional or national events. And I played almost everywhere in the U.S.
01:28And that's it. So I made my road this way. And with my wife, we decided maybe two years ago that we
01:36wanted to move in the U.S. We were fortunate and we really appreciate to obtain. She obtained a visa out
01:44of her work. And then we moved here in Randolph. And lucky for me, I saw an ad. Jake was opening,
01:53Jake Phillip was opening a franchise of Golf Gave in my hometown here in Randolph. And it was a perfect
02:03job. This is something for me I've done in the last couple of years. I'm comfortable with. I love doing.
02:08I love exchanging with golfers. I love technology. And yeah, that's it. It was a perfect fit. So we
02:16discussed and the rest is history.
