“Will it have an effect on how we glance to make use of mortgage golf equipment, construct up gamers to return into the skilled atmosphere? In fact it can, as a result of we’ve got to try to put together in one of the best ways we are able to,” Baxter added.

“As soon as we all know the complete define of all the foundations and rules, and what’s occurring round it, then we are going to assess that very carefully.”
