Dude, I think you should pull up that video of the hole-in-one golf challenge. Good shot. That's a great shot. There's one of these in the world that I know of. What is the business here?

They have announced multiple times that they pay out on average once every 2 weeks. I can use math and I know how much they sell balls for. And so I can surmise based on math and statistics that this place net profits like $300,000 to $500,000 a year. There's nothing to see there.
