Speaker 2: golf course with a three story home about four feet

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,239

Speaker 1: time next year or later this year, into a series

15
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: of multiple city greens, as we're calling them.

16
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: I gave it a go, and don't ask me how

17
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: it went.

00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,440
