This is day 10 of backyard games. Chance has made it all the way to the final boss match, where he will play me for this $100,000.

We're playing a three hole match, starting with the easiest hole in my back yard and ending with the impossible final boss hole, which begins with a shot over my house. Whoever takes the fewest shots across all three holes wins. If I win, I'll be giving away the $100,000 to one of you that is following, So make sure to follow. Chance, since you're the guest, get on the tee box. Yes, sir. Three holes, a 100 k. Have you ever played for this much? No in three holes. I can tell you that. It's a good shot.
