Matt, we're back at it again. Hey, happy Friday. Happy Friday. Alright. Feels like a Tuesday on a Friday, doesn't it? It does. It does. You stole my line. Alright. We are doing another Matt and Mike today. And Here we are. For today, I am going to name you five countries. These five countries are the countries one through five that have the most golf courses Okay. In that country. Alright. You just live with the minority. Okay. It's an easy one today. Let's hope. So the first country, Japan. Oh, you start out with Japan. They're not number one. Oh, they're close. I oh, man. This stuff there's a lot of golf courses in Japan. I didn't even golly, they're two or three. They're two or three. I gotta slip them in at number two. I'll be in two. Yeah. Okay. Next one, the UK. Shit. That's number two. Japan's number three. I'm changing my thing. UK two, Japan three. UK number two, Japan number three. Yeah. K. Next one, United States of America. That's number one. That's number one. That's number one. I didn't build out that way too. I don't know. Then we got half of the world's golf courses. Next one, Canada. And it has a lot of golf courses, but I always said two and three, and it's gonna be number four. Number four? K. Before, I said last one. New tee markers, West Standard Golf. Yeah. Look at that. Nice little rose. Nice little rose. See, football season, I'm thinking about my Michelin race. Maybe going back to the Rose Bowl. Next one. Australia. Well, it's gotta be five. But you know what I messed up? Because I think I remember a little trick about naming these golf countries with that population. It's all English speaking out of the town four or something like that. So that would put Japan, like, fifth. Is that your final answer? Yeah. It's something like that. Yeah. Okay. We got number one, United States. Good answer. Number two, Japan. Number three, the UK. Number four, Canada. Number five, Australia. Kinda right originally. Kinda right, kinda wrong. Yeah. That's right. Let's do another week.
