00:00stands are up and everything is ready to roll we're glad that it's coming again it is a different
00:06tour there's troy uh let's let's get troy in here hey troy and there he is in his hawaiian
00:10i knew troy i knew you wouldn't let us down aloha aloha i believe last year when we had
00:16john it was also a hawaiian shirt wednesday didn't we if i remember correctly you just
00:20happened to be wearing a hawaiian or something like that no that wasn't the case i got i got
00:25wind of it and now i i can only come on on wednesdays obviously that's right because
00:29every wednesday the same shirt jacob i don't have the inventory you got but well listen you you do
00:34laundry once a week if you're like me you know no problem there uh troy you are you guys are
00:40getting
00:40ready for a wichita open i suppose like we've never seen before it is a new tour but honestly
00:50now as chairman of the board not a whole lot changes here does it for the fans that's what
00:55you know people ask me and i'm like guys i don't think anything if you're a fan going out to
01:00party
01:00at the wichita open and have fun i don't think you're going to know anything changed is that accurate
01:05or or do you think it will have a different feel yeah that's a great point that's the the reason
01:10we
01:11made the commitment to continue this for the 37th year was we weren't going to do it unless all the
01:16tenants kind of came together and one of them being that the wichita experience that people
01:21were getting what they're not going to see any difference in that and we've just had a great
01:26deal of support we got net two more ambassadors all the chalets are sold out um all the type
01:33the title sponsors we added a presenting sponsor um yeah it's just it's it's it's awesome but i would
01:40say we didn't really know what this was going to look like in december when this came down
01:45uh the pga was going through some changes they've gone through many more changes with outside
01:51investment and now i think we're seeing with an announcement coming up what their plan might have
01:56been all along and that's elevating the number one tour and likely kind of converging what is called
02:03the corn fairy with the pga for a tier one tier two and thus wanting us to be the cornerstone
02:10event
02:10in uh in the u.s in the middle of this tour because they're likely going to add a lot
02:15more
02:15events on this tour as the development tour so we're excited about them counting on us to blow this
02:22out but we're really excited about next week we are too and i haven't i haven't looked at the weather
02:27but you know we'll all hope that we don't end up in a situation like we had last year it
02:32looks like
02:33there are some some rain chances i don't know about storm chances but you know wouldn't be the
02:38wichita open without a little bit of weather in play like that you know the facilities are going
02:43to be back to normal last year people have to remember the air conditioning a lot of that stuff
02:48blew over now i was out there the other day uh golfing very poorly by the way but i you
02:55know i see
02:56that 17 is going to have the chalet with the air conditioning of course 18 looks the same uh there's
03:02some covered areas so you know as far as that fan experience and all of what you just talked about
03:07anything changing or are we back to normal there no we're we're we're back to normal there's um we're
03:15doing some things on our event on the tour a little bit differently than some of the other pga america's
03:20tours just to ensure that um and no nobody's gonna nobody's gonna even see a difference the other thing
03:25i think that's important is what we've learned in this process is the golf is going to be fantastic
03:33um up until a couple of events ago the pga america's tour was averaging 0.19 more strokes per round
03:41than the corn fairy there you go so it's not a full stroke for four days um so it's and
03:49the other part
03:49is we are the first event for all the nc2a what they call the pgau so there's 20 uh players
03:58coming
03:58from the nc2a and this is their first tournament so there's a lot of unique stuff with this in
04:04addition to uh crusty was made the golf course harder by adding three new t boxes that actually
04:11would have been harder for the corn fairy players tour so it's it's it's we're really excited about
04:15all that what's happening troy and and i know and i want to ask you a couple more specifics about
04:21the
04:22event but there are still plenty about you mentioned you know the corporate sponsorships and the party
04:26sponsorships and everything is is more or less taken care of there i believe the last time we
04:32talked though plenty of single tickets as far as going out to watch the golf right what what can
04:38people still get their hands on yeah you can still get the ten dollar uh on-premise pass to walk
04:44around
04:44the golf course but there's still tickets and which tells like this this is every year where the last
04:50two weeks the party zone down on 17 which is the one of the outside of an ambassador it's really
04:57the
04:57best experience for the public uh and you can buy individual tickets we're down to about a hundred for
05:03friday and a little less than a hundred for saturday so it's always a late coming folks but but we
05:10we
05:10don't want anybody to miss out so now so the part is the party zone that sort of 19th hole
05:15area walking
05:16up 17 to 18 different area that's what is the party zone the party zone is a dedicated if somebody
05:22wants to spend 75 bucks they can go out there and hang out at the party zone they get a
05:26grounds pass
05:26for grounds they can't be at 17 or 18 premium seating um but there's obviously bar and music
05:33it's a definitely a party area between 17 and 18 it was really popular yeah that's yeah so that's that's
05:39where we'll be here we'll be doing the show out there on kfh uh my wife and i'll have the
05:44hto out there
05:45i know there's are we doing the are we doing the bar trailer again the the big that is correct
05:50thing was a hit we're gonna have world we're gonna have world cup games to be watching out there
05:55absolutely and and and tell me this too and i'm gonna ask you this i don't know if i'd ask
05:59uh you
06:00know people that could get in trouble for this i don't think you would i are are we is is
06:04this tour
06:05as stodgy and you know are we are we able to you know get out there and and party hard
06:12and loud and
06:13have fun without having to look over our shoulder for the pga tour like getting on to us a little
06:18bit
06:18you know that's a great question i think
06:24the over is more leeway but we kind of need to find out so i'm really okay if we push
06:29the limits
06:30a little bit especially the the the tone on 17 but what if we get out we got new people
06:36coming in
06:37to say not experience this so we may have to cuddle up together and go hey i don't think you
06:42realize
06:42what this is going to be because it's not going to be anything less yeah and and it'll be the
06:47most
06:47fun you've had probably playing golf on tour if if it reflects what we've always heard talking to
06:52the corn fairy guys afterward they love it i think i think troy it'll be better for crestview it'll open
06:58up their possibilities a little bit more i hope it is for the fans so one more to how do
07:03people get
07:04their hands on the tickets that they're looking for still remaining yeah go to the wichita open
07:09online and you'll see the pop-up right there buy tickets and then it'll give you the menu of what's
