In the latest edition of Playing 18, we filmed every shot of TGJ Events Chairman Foster McCune’s round during the BTS Tour’s stop at Gamble Sands, where members got to play Scarecrow before it opened to the public. A brand-new course, a blank scorecard—let’s see what he made of it.

Warning: This video is very safe to watch at work.
