00:00 So George started playing golf when he was about 14, 15 months old with a plastic set.

00:08 We soon realised he had a natural swing and then yeah, so then we bought him a children's

00:15 set of golf clubs. We took him to the golf driving range, didn't we, and to the golf

00:20 course. And then he started hitting the ball so well that people were picking up on how

00:26 well he was doing. They were saying what a natural swing and this is people who play

00:30 at scratch, this is people who coach the game. And from there it just escalated to where

00:36 it is now. Yeah, first tee, we like when we're first tee. So it's escalated where he goes

00:41 to the driving range probably three times a week during the night and then at weekend

00:46 he'll be down here playing in the ball car and then he just loves coming down and spending

00:50 time hitting his balls, don't you?
