Transcript

Golf shop. This is Chris. Can you set the course record if it's lift clean in place? Sir, I'd ask more realistic questions like rank the pro shop deliver balls at the turn? Uh-huh. Have a good day. Yes, sir. We do offer rental clubs. Do we have any that are two inch long and extra stiff? Sir, if the round's that important to you, I'd probably bring you your own clubs. Uh-huh. Have a good day. Yes, sir. We have rental clubs. What's the brand and the specs? And what's the swing weight? Sir, do you have iron covers? No. With those questions, I figured you would. Uh-huh. Have a good day.
