Big shoutout to Ben for representing us mid-handicappers. I swear I could feel their nerves in the early parts of this video. Except for Joe - that dude drips confidence.
@@llamont2336 did not mean anything bad about it mate, but its somehow how it goes for most golfers, that last step from low hcp to pro is the step most fail to take.
@@sorush93 no offense taken at all!! I was just adding my $.02 worth of personal opinion. I want to have Joe’s game but I’ll take Tom’s if the initial is too ambitious 😁. Hit’em well!
The Breaking Series is easily my favorite golf series on TH-cam. It's awesome seeing a variety of handicaps tackle famous courses in their most difficult setups. It really does put things in perspective, and EAL does a fantastic job narrating them. Can't wait to see a lot more of these!
Tom Coyne is a legend, he's a great addition to your channel. Loved him on the NLU Ireland trip, just a good attitude and subtly hilarious. Course Called Ireland was a great read.
Ben is the man! He’s getting to play a dream course, under a lot of pressure, on camera, and against a pro at that! He may not have played well but the guy is brave AF and gave it his all! I would’ve loved to been in his shoes that day
ah yes ryan - so brave to participate in an all expenses paid trip to Sawgrass. Fuck WWII Vets, Ben is a national hero! Give him the National Medal of Honor now!
Hands down the best footage i’ve seen from this course. The drone shots are amazing. The light, the color grading, very soothing. Can’t wait to see the rest of the series! Nice to see people with different handicaps too.
Great first episode. 3 golfers of different skill sets on a course where they all will feel the pain of Pete Dye. 4 down, 14 to go. Love everything about this. Audibly groaning for Ben on 4.. We all know that feeling all too well regardless of where we're currently at in our game
absolutely loving this series so far. having 3 different skilled golfers playing a beautiful course, shows how nerves and course difficulty affects people
Not sure why I’m just finding this channel, this is like the best golf content period. You get a pro, you get a low handicapper and a mid handicapper. It’s fun to watch how the three different levels play.
This course gets a ton of play and it really holds up well. The fairways come back quick from divots and the firm greens don't make crater marks when you hit a 9 iron in there.
These series are so good (production quality and content). Could be on Netflix. This especially made me try Sawgrass myself, although on a simulator setup. Pulse went up on that 17th hole :)
Im 23 and been playing since mid-quarantine and I have to say I love to see the different levels of golfers on the channel... It just gets me so hyped to go out and play! Keep killing it RGC team!
This is awesome content: shows just how hard these courses are to the everyday golfers Can’t wait for the rest of the series. You guys should do one after Torrey Pines as well (and I would be more than happy to volunteer to be the high handicapper)!!
I have been watching RGC and EAL channels for a while now. Every time, the videos are on another level. Keep up the amazing content I can't wait to see what's next. I am a part of the Veterans Golf Association and would love to invite you to AZ for our regional championships for a round during our practice round. Cheers
I lived 20 minutes from there for years! Went to a lot of TPC tournaments! I've played that course 8 times! I got Pete Dyes autograph on a golf ball one day! I moved from there to Green Valley Arizona for a year and moved to Chiang Rai Thailand, been here for 10 years now.
This is a really cool video. I actually met Ben at the Zurich a few weeks ago. Had a conversation with him while Homa was looking for his ball. Small world
I really appreciate that the commentators are cheering on the high handicappers. I can relate. Hi handicap golf is a lot of inconsistencies and the occasional really good shot.
Love the layout of the video, tour conditions... how do you shoot. And then throwing the 3 varied levels of players into it is just great. Really enjoyed part 1, and definitely looking forward to the next.
Well, thru 4 I'd have to say these guys are all playing up to their self-imposed expectations. Remember, Ben said he was actually trying to break 110. Amazing production quality all around as usual, RGC. Can't wait for the other parts to drop!
Played a month ago and #17 was 1 of the most nerve wrecking tee shots ever! I was over the ball and my arms and hands were shaking. Took a step back and a couple of deep breaths and pured my 9i on the green in front of the groups that were waiting. Felt like a boss and then I 3 putted for bogey.... -___-
THIS IS A DREAM!!!! Unfortunately the reality is I’ll never be able to reach that dream. It’s awesome what you’re doing. I wouldn’t be able to hold it in. I’d prob shed a tear on the first tee.
Love the concept of this RGC film - as much as I enjoy seeing Eric mooch his way around various courses, seeing a realistic demonstration of how hard pro courses are is top notch content. GO BEN!!
Love the walking, this course deserves to be soaked in while walking to your next shot. It looks stunning on camera, especially the white sand bunkers against the green of the course
Just found this channel, looking forward to back-watching their other clips!! Kudos to the narrator, one thing I can’t stand is yelling/shouting an explanation for golf, or anything for that matter. An effort we’ll done gentlemen

Facts
The trust in the driver while pressure is mounting is understandable
... and he pukes determination.
Ben ain’t no mid level handicap
No way Ben is under a 36 down here in Australia
Hit the like button the second Tom said "So i have 72 balls in my bag".. very relatable
As someone who regularly fights to stay below 100 I’m rooting for Ben all the way
Ben = Where we are
Joe = Where we want to be
Tom = Where we will end up
Ending up a low single digit handicap isn’t a bad goal at all...
Such a good observation. Hopefully we end up somewhere between Tom and Joe :)

Shiiii…they ended up at TPC Sawgrass… THAT’S what I’m jealous of.
Tom Coyne with the nod to Big Randy from NLU using the 5-wood on 3 #Salute
Erik perfect summed up my game when he said “visually it wasn’t ideal but that’s gonna work”

Man those guys are definitely an inspiration for all the golfers, such a mood

joe hooks is that guy. The style with the clothes and the swing
Cocky douche is what I was thinking but yea that too
My thoughts exactly, he comes across as a dick.
@@MachoManAndySavage125 agreed.

This is a piece of art.
I really like having the variety of different skilled players. Fun group. Excited to watch more
"It doesn't matter what score that's for - you love to see it." - a lot of heavy lifting from this quote right here
Can't get enough of these.
That was beautiful. Massive props to the camera and post production teams. Looking forward to the next one.
Erik, you’re best video yet! The PGA tour should have the RGC team in charge of commentary and background music. Well done, sir!
Great first episode. 3 golfers of different skill sets on a course where they all will feel the pain of Pete Dye. 4 down, 14 to go. Love everything about this. Audibly groaning for Ben on 4.. We all know that feeling all too well regardless of where we're currently at in our game
Fantastic to see some diversity (race & also ability, age, style, etc.) on the golf course (especially an elite one)!
“I’m a 14 handicap” famous last words
14 handicap...... over 9 holes
I can't tell you how excited I was for this and it has lived up to it 😍😍
absolutely loving this series so far. having 3 different skilled golfers playing a beautiful course, shows how nerves and course difficulty affects people
I just recently found your channel and then binged it for a week. I have to say it's the most entertaining golf channel on youtube bar none.
Joe Hooks is the epitome of “look good, play good”. Dude was stone cold the first 4 holes. Hope we finishes under par!
Not sure why I’m just finding this channel, this is like the best golf content period. You get a pro, you get a low handicapper and a mid handicapper. It’s fun to watch how the three different levels play.
"Probably a 14 handicap" but definitely more like a 30.
Glad someone said it
Honest golf adds 15 strokes to everyone's game lol
Seriously. With that swing, no way a 14.
I love how you guys get called out in the next video.
@@koda4247 Good
This is so good, seeing how 3 different handicaps play the same course/holes and how they relate to their handicaps.
This is what we’ve always wanted to see. Even more than the pga pro’s playing tpc Sawgrass!
Definitely worth the wait ;)
We all need to find someone who looks at us the way Joe looks at himself in the mirror 😂
😂😂😂
This type of content is oozing with purity ❤️
‘The man has a confident stance over the ball... must be because he’s really good at golf’
Hahahaha! That made me laugh - love the work Erik
Absolutely loved every minute of this!! Well done👌🏻
The course looks amazing for having the Players so recently. Love to see some weekend warriors on Sawgrass too!
This course gets a ton of play and it really holds up well. The fairways come back quick from divots and the firm greens don't make crater marks when you hit a 9 iron in there.
Love Eriks commentating!! That would be awesome to play that course!!
Love this content. I’m a Jacksonville native going on 24 years and I’ve been going to The Players since I can remember. I love Jax and the beaches.
I'm living through Ben right now. We need more Ben's in TH-cam golf.
Played Harding on 5/1. Thanks for the help before I had ever stepped foot on it! Love this series.
I'd been waiting for a long time for this type of content. Thank you RGC. This would be a fun experience..
The beauty of this course mixed with the editing skills of this team... if you told me this course was in heaven I'd believe you.
I think I could take some of these courses on, love the variety of golfers and always cheering for the underdog! Go Ben! Hope he breaks 100!
These series are so good (production quality and content). Could be on Netflix. This especially made me try Sawgrass myself, although on a simulator setup. Pulse went up on that 17th hole :)
Just fantastic content. Best golf channel on TH-cam.
That means a lot, Nick. Appreciate it 🙏
I take it all back. Even sans EAL this was superb content. Joe, the king of clean, loving all the Rhoback.
Super pumped to see how you guys do at Sawgrass!
Im 23 and been playing since mid-quarantine and I have to say I love to see the different levels of golfers on the channel... It just gets me so hyped to go out and play! Keep killing it RGC team!
Sawgrass looking immaculate, hard to believe it's the day after a professional tournament. Looks like it's the day before not after.
I think EAL metnions they did most of the drone flyovers before the tourney. That's why it looks so immaculate.
@@johnnyhunter correct they did. They're playing after tho
Yeah that thing would be DESTROYED after a weekend.
This is awesome content: shows just how hard these courses are to the everyday golfers Can’t wait for the rest of the series. You guys should do one after Torrey Pines as well (and I would be more than happy to volunteer to be the high handicapper)!!
What an immaculate course and fine group of fellas ! Great vid
So cool watching 3 golfers at different levels battle a similarly difficult goal on a course that looks like a dream.
I have been watching RGC and EAL channels for a while now. Every time, the videos are on another level. Keep up the amazing content I can't wait to see what's next. I am a part of the Veterans Golf Association and would love to invite you to AZ for our regional championships for a round during our practice round. Cheers
Rare to see a course that lush looking right after an entire week of practice and tournament action. A testament to the club and the grounds crew.
I lived 20 minutes from there for years! Went to a lot of TPC tournaments! I've played that course 8 times! I got Pete Dyes autograph on a golf ball one day!
I moved from there to Green Valley Arizona for a year and moved to Chiang Rai Thailand, been here for 10 years now.
Love this new series! I’ll vote myself to join the next round! Love it EAL
I would love to golf here
I'm so excited! I've been looking forward to this!
this is an absolute quality video. great editing, great imaging, great voice over. have to say, a great great video. really! 👍
What an opportunity, great concept. That course is immaculate...wow. 😶
Erik, I’m loving the smooth commentary!
This is a really cool video. I actually met Ben at the Zurich a few weeks ago. Had a conversation with him while Homa was looking for his ball. Small world
I swear the production value on this is better than the PGA!!
Editing is so good on this channel. Enjoyed that 👌🏻
I really appreciate that the commentators are cheering on the high handicappers. I can relate. Hi handicap golf is a lot of inconsistencies and the occasional really good shot.
the content is amazing. what a story developing here
the sultry voice of EAL and some prime amateur golf at TPC Sawgrass...man this series is awesome
This was amazing! Can't wait for the rest of it.
Thanks, Jordan! Appreciate you letting us know. We had a blast making it.
Incredible production. Keep it up!
So good, I need the next one. Thanks for a wonderful video.
If your looking for a scrub for your next video at a picturesque course. I'm your guy.
man i love this format!
Loving this. Great concept, really relatable, and really fun.
Fantastic work. Looking fwd to the next eps!
So dope. Good on EAL for this series.
I LOVE the Commentary
Love the layout of the video, tour conditions... how do you shoot. And then throwing the 3 varied levels of players into it is just great. Really enjoyed part 1, and definitely looking forward to the next.
First time on this channel. This is quality content!
Man this a beast of an episode. Great content.
Great Video! Would love to get out there one day and appreciate all the guys being so real during the round!
Best episode.Tom what a legend.
Awesome vid! Love to see sawgrass like this! 🙏🏼🙌🏽
Was so pumped and inspired by this that I ditched work to go play 18. I hit 105. So like Ben, will try to break 100 this summer!
Tom's home alone reference instantly makes him my favorite
Well, thru 4 I'd have to say these guys are all playing up to their self-imposed expectations. Remember, Ben said he was actually trying to break 110.
Amazing production quality all around as usual, RGC. Can't wait for the other parts to drop!
I cheered so hard when Ben parred the 3rd. Awesome series
Played a month ago and #17 was 1 of the most nerve wrecking tee shots ever! I was over the ball and my arms and hands were shaking. Took a step back and a couple of deep breaths and pured my 9i on the green in front of the groups that were waiting. Felt like a boss and then I 3 putted for bogey.... -___-
Love the production quality guys
Best golf video ive seen yet 👍👍
Fan bloody tastic ,thanks boys,loved it.
Oh man so excited and enjoying this! Would love to see another one of these follow the PGA Championship or US Open
THIS IS A DREAM!!!! Unfortunately the reality is I’ll never be able to reach that dream. It’s awesome what you’re doing. I wouldn’t be able to hold it in. I’d prob shed a tear on the first tee.
Joe's style is level unlimited.
Loving the videos. Keep them coming!!!
Love the concept of this RGC film - as much as I enjoy seeing Eric mooch his way around various courses, seeing a realistic demonstration of how hard pro courses are is top notch content. GO BEN!!
Love the walking, this course deserves to be soaked in while walking to your next shot. It looks stunning on camera, especially the white sand bunkers against the green of the course
Courses still closed in Toronto... This is the content I needed 🙏🏻
Wow... that’s crazy
Love this series. Awesome job👍
Just found this channel, looking forward to back-watching their other clips!! Kudos to the narrator, one thing I can’t stand is yelling/shouting an explanation for golf, or anything for that matter. An effort we’ll done gentlemen
Ben is for sure the most relatable guy!
This was sick. Great stuff bro.
This video format is dope
