Prior to, you know, what was the disruptions like for you guys when in twenty twenty? You know, when COVID hit? Mean, I know that everyone got really cautious, right? So what did that look like for you guys? I mean, as a business, when, you know, March of twenty twenty, all of a sudden, we get this announcement and people started panicking, and then we started seeing the impacts in supply chain. Right? So what did that look like for you guys? You know, what I remember back then, it personally caught me off guard. Just like it caught everybody off guard, but we spoke about growth. We are still continuing to grow, but twenty twenty was a huge year for us, which we wouldn’t have thought, right? And part of that, obviously, to COVID, so everybody was getting outdoors golfing. We saw demand spike shortly after March, which March is about we’re a little bit of a seasonal company. So March is starting that peak season to where we’re ramping up production where we’re really getting to the peak of it. But twenty twenty took off unlike anything else, but the disruptions were on the retail side with store closures, right? So like nobody was going into Walmart, nobody was going into ****** Sporting Goods at the time, everybody turned to buying things online, so Amazon, right? And so we had to shift kind of our the way we get to the customer, but at the same time, we ran into supply chain issues. While growth is just taking off. So twenty twenty one was another big year for us, but it brought on a completely new set of challenges in the supply chain. So some of the biggest disruptions, you know, I would say the Shanghai port shutting down any anytime a port in China for us shut down, we had to reroute product. And I’m talking critical product that, you know, it’s a it’s a golf company, but at the same time, the high volumes of product that we do, it’s very important for them to keep up running. Right? So we were we would work with a freight forwarder shift where product is shipping out of, but that also meant extra week or two delays. So it was it was crazy. It was almost like every week. If if there’s no no news, it was good news. But, you know, we’re shutting down COVID. I think this there’s a fire at a Shanghai port, things like that. Twenty twenty two is a little bit different. It’s it seemed to get a little bit better, but, you know, we paid the price when it came to shipping rates, started continuing to increase, starting to level off a little bit. But a good example of a supply chain disruption, we had product on the Ever Forward ship that ran aground off the coast of, Maryland in Chesapeake Bay, and it literally just sat there. And we couldn’t get the product off, and, that was it was a it was a full container product. So
