Overview
The creator documents day 18 of his challenge to hitchhike onto every private golf course in Utah. He starts with a rapid visual recap of previous days, then shows his attempts to get picked up using a cardboard sign offering $500 to anyone who can beat him. The video follows his journey chronologically through getting accepted by a group, getting kicked out and threatened with police by course staff, finding another group, playing the course, riding in a helicopter, and ending with a successful round of golf at sunset.
