I look forward to spending some time with you today. Tom Cade: Yeah. Mike, it's been a bit of a journey. I have known you personally for 10 years or so. You were the tournament director for the U.S. Senior Open, which was held at the Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Washington, 2010. Long time ago. Mike Zinga: Yeah, but I spent almost three years there, if you recall. I moved there in the fall of '07. Tom Cade: That's right. Mike Zinga: And loved it. My family loved it. Tom Cade: Yeah. So was that the first tournament that you were really that heavily involved in to that degree, Mike? I can't remember. Mike Zinga: No, Tom. I'd graduated from a master's program in Florida, in the mid 90s, believe it or not, and worked with the Champions Tour event in Key Biscayne, Florida, called the Royal Caribbean Classic, which led me to Doral.
