Hello nation, this is Alexander Caldwell here, tuning in from Kansas City, Missouri. I'm originally from Freedomsport, Denmark. I'm an international student studying at Park University where I play golf. Like I said, I was originally from Denmark. Some of the local businesses in Freedomsport, Denmark where I grew up have really helped me become the person I am and supported my journey to become a professional golfer and to study at a much higher level. One of the first people I would really like to thank is Robert Gale who's the owner of Gale Golf Shop, who's been a big support golf-wise, equipment-wise, training-wise, and just inspirational all in all. And the one who's been very good locally has been Charlotte Kirsten with a nice cafe, really a nice unique new concept where people come in and really be creative with artwork and at the same time get food and really be social. A big location and very popular in the town and a big part of what Freedomsport, or what makes Freedomsport, Freedomsport. Another one is a nice ice cream shop down by the lake owned by my neighbor Alexander. Massive, massive place. We've done both ice cream and cakes to be open all year round. It's a really, really nice location that gathers everybody in the summer and a definite place I would like to visit.
