Look at that hair
$500 match. Better if you win, I'll give you a $200 in club credit. Welcome to day three of trying to hitchhike onto every private golf course in the state of Utah. So she could play at, like, 03:30. Oh, gosh. We got another kid here. What's happening? Everybody's pulling up on me. I thought the course was shut down. Nine holes walking over. You'll just play a nine hole match with me. Please introduce yourself. I'm William. I'm Brett Willow Creek. What's your handicap? About a one, one or two. We're gonna play a nine hole match. Yes, sir. If you beat me, I will pay you $250 because we're not playing 18 holes. K. Let's do it. Alrighty. Let's do it. 02:40. I am only ten to fifteen minutes in, and I only had two people stop. This is starting to get a little easy. Well, I'm excited to play Liam and hopefully no lose my money. Sorry, baby. Look at that hair. That's some good looking hair right there. What's up with these younger sticks picking me up? I don't think I can afford this long term.
