Transcript

Tier really good that I'm a part of making this place look as good as it does. You hear the expression sometimes you can't catch everything. Out here, if it can be caught, you get it done. Yes, painted all the curves. Before the day was over, best back for more touch ups because there was already marks, and again, there's already scuff marks. So tier gonna go back and do some touch ups again today. For the curves, we just use regular paint brush, paint, and a paint roller. They worst it to have that historic traditional feel. Knock it out the same way it was done 90 tournaments ago. We'll paint the curves multiple times a day if need be because the standard is what the standard best, striving for excellence, and the attention to detail is imperative in everything we do out here.
