The creator documents Day 16 of his challenge to hitchhike onto every private golf course in Utah. He arrives at the Cottonwood Country Club, sets up two handmade cardboard signs offering to be a fourth player and betting $500 he can't be beaten. He then speaks to the camera, describing the club as a private, nine-hole par 3 course and social club, before waiting to see if anyone will take him up on his offer.
