100%. Let's do it, baby. This is day 12 of hitchhiking onto every private golf course in the state of Utah. I'm doing this in my car on my way to Alpine Country Club. The reason I'm doing this in my car is because I've got a a feeling this is gonna be a quick one. I know dozens of members here. I can assure you that nobody knows that I'm coming to Alpine Country Club this morning. I'm just pulling up cold turkey and seeing who's gonna pick me up. Uh-oh. My high school best friend is on the driving range right now. What are the odds? This is actually gonna be hilarious. Watch this. He doesn't see me yet.
