Overview

The creator introduces day 19 of his challenge to hitchhike onto every private golf course in Utah, setting the scene at Bloomington Country Club. He explains the day's specific obstacle, Ladies Day, before cutting to a flashback of a tense, unenthusiastic interaction with a pro shop employee.

Transcript

This is day 19 of trying to hitchhike onto every private golf course in the state of Utah. Today, I'm at Bloomington Country Club in Saint George, Utah. I'm 300 miles from home. It's 07:45AM. I did hear from a little birdie that there is ladies day starting at 9AM. So I'm here hopefully, trying to catch an early bird. Grandpa picked me up this morning. What a gym. Guy in the pro shop was so not stoked I was here. How's it going? Today could be a rough day. It's ladies day. So... Starting at nine, though. Right? Yeah. But the guys who play in the morning, they're not gonna deal with it. Okay. Where would be the best spot for me to stand, though? If I'm using private club mentality, some place off property. Yeah. So would you go this this entrance, though, or would you go the one over there? I'm not trying to be difficult. Yeah. I gotta deal with my own shit. Yes I don't need circus or any of that. Good a circus today here at Bloomington. What's that? Yeah? Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Cal. Cal and Scott. Awesome. Thank
