All right. Right. Now, we go out to meteorologist Matt Hammer. He is having himself a party. He is enjoying everything that we have to offer with this weather on the road during national golf month. He's already done with a golf course in Yonkers. Yeah. And you could even, as we just talked about a little bit earlier, get those lessons in year round with the great simulator that they have here. But joining me again right now is Rick Nielsen, one of the pros here at the Dunwoody golf course. And I want to just not waste any time right now and walk over to the green and we're going to do some chipping right now. You're telling me that chipping is a great way to kind of get into the sport. Right. Absolutely. Because it's really just a small version of the full swing. So for many of my new students, this is where I'm going to start them because as you see, you can learn the grip, you can learn your posture and we're just going to take the club and swing back and through short swing, not the big full swing. This doesn't have to go too far, just a short swing. So this is again, small version of the full swing. So you want to think of your arms as a, as a triangle and you're just going to swing back and through. And this is all the great information that you could get here if you took some lessons here. But right now we're going to try to put that quick lesson to the test here. I mean, full disclosure. I did get one or two practice ones in before this. All right posture, good posture looks great. Feet closer together, feet closer together, closer. Here we go. Short swing right online. Give me another. You got it. Let's go. Now, the first one was better. One more. I was just on the ground one more. One more. I could do this all day. Less tension. My arms are too tight. I feel like a lot of people deal with that. No, that was, we're gonna do, we're gonna do more of that throughout the morning. You know what? I have a couple of seconds here. One more. There we go. All right. We were, let's talk about our weather, everyone as we go throughout the day more with Rick as we go throughout the rest of the morning right now. More on your local weather here across the Hudson Valley on this summer, Friday over the Hudson River looking gorgeous right now with nothing but sunshine overhead and it really is going to be a day where we have temperatures going these cool fields in the mid f right now to a high around close to 80 degrees this afternoon. So you see the future cast here, upper seventies to low eighties today, a mix of sun and a few patchy fair weather clouds. But for the most part, nice dry day, nice night tonight. And then the start of the weekend tomorrow will be really nice as well with a lot of sun and highs close to the lower to middle tomorrow afternoon. So dress for summer today. High, close to 80 degrees humidity, still nice and low under a lot of sunshine. We will talk much more about the entire weekend forecast. What's in store for next week when our next storm chances are and so much more from right here at Dunwoody golf course in Yonkers, right here in Westchester County. Coming up in just a little bit.
