I didn't know who Rich Beem was. (Before my time). But man do I love him now!! That was SSSSOOOOOO entertaining. What a character... The ledgend of "The Sling King" will live on in my heart.
I was once hustled by my uncles friend at a course called Champion Lakes in Pennsylvania. I was no slouch, as I was currently playing division 1 at Robert Morrison U, and confident that I could keep up with any local player. However, on this day, I shot a 35 on the front, and this guy who my uncle brought, posted a bogey free 31. After our 9 concluded, my uncle asked me how it felt to get whooped by Rocco Mediate. I said “who is Rocco Mediate”. He just laughed and said “look him up on the internet”. I was only 21, and way too busy to keep up with the PGA Tour, so I wasn’t familiar with the respectively “lesser known” tour players. A couple years later, Rocco had his iconic showdown with Tiger Woods, and I just had a huge smile on my face the whole time. Still to this day, my favorite 9 holes of golf. Aside from all of the rounds I’ve played with my dad and grandpa. Very memorable. That was in 2006, and I still remember every shot. Rocco tore that course up. After the round, my uncle showed me Rocco’s course record plaque, and I think it was 62 or 63. You’d never tell he was a good player until he teed off on one. He had baggy pants, 4 different brands of clubs, a non-tour bag. Just looked like a 40 year old weekend warrior.
Ok, if Rich does not make the rounds to the other youtube golf channels, they are all missing out BIG TIME. What a guy! Easily the funniest golfer I've seen yet.
I just spit out my coffee at 43:04. "I like that a LOT, Jayden. YEAH! SIT ON IT!... I like that a lot!" I can't stop laughing. I wouldn't have let you finish the round in a clear headspace after that phrasing... it's what friends are for.
EAL, If I've said it once I have said it 100 times, you make the best golf videos that exist. I can't thank you enough for the way you present such informational, educational and just plain entertainment value videos on the game that has captivated me for the majority of my life. And for that, I thank you Sir.
The only PGA game I've ever attended. Sunday of the 2002 PGA championship at Hazeltine. My wife surprised me tickets for our anniversary. What an experience. We sat on the bleachers by the green at the 16th hole. Everyone had funneled to the 18th to see the end. I just did not want to fight through the mass of people. Cool to see Tiger birdie the 16th. He told Stevie: "Come on, we can still do this". He made a crazy run, but Rich bested him. I remember Rich making his little victory dance after his winning putt and for some reason commentators criticized him for it. Overall, an unforgettable day. Great to see RB again, brings back fond memories of that day. My wife, not in the least a golfer, had a blast also.
Absolutely hilarious watching the setup of the match. Poor Beamer had to be sweating like a wrestler trying to make weight with the hoodie up. Great match and enjoyed the commentary and golf! Brandon
Love this and man, there was some excellent ball striking! @23:00 That's a great observation and lesson to reiterate. Reigniting my love for golf! Eric, what a friggin round! Damn, man!
That was awesome - you can tell Rich not playing his best but a great player nonetheless and the two scratch guys can hit some golf shots - great job on putting this together format and everything!
What a great post! So entertaining. LIV should hire him...I'd actually watch their crappy golf just to listen to him or watch him play against AK. I remember Beem outlasting Tiger...that's a feat only a handful of players ever did during his prime.
I am at minute 7 and this is priceless..... I am going to have to go to the store and get some more beer and not fast forward through this....19:40, someone can freaking put..so far...at 35:30 technically he missed an attempt at the hole and that should have counted...but this is for fun, I mean all the talking about club selection and yardage would rule out and USGA penalties in this game...42:00 what a compliment to have Rich Beam not hit after you just tagged one down the middle, what a compliment...This was so fun to watch guys, thank you for this
This was awesome, really funny sh!t. Got me when he says, "I ain't rootin' for you guys at all. I'm just sayin' right now. Every shot you hit makes somebody happy, and that tee shot made me ecstatic." Good job guys!
Man, i've not been a fan of some of your stuff in the past but I stubbled across this and gave it a watch (actually forgetting what channel this was). What a fucking gem. Beemer is a legend and those two kids two are genuine good guys and good sports. Fantastic video
I had to pause the video. I legit have never laughed this hard while watching a golf video, and im talking ive been watching all of good good videos but, jeeesssuusss. Rich Beem @6:55 is so damn funny to me. What a great video. Im so excited to watch the rest!
42:21 you love to hear that from your scramble partner 😆 Especially off the first tee 😆 I stepped up first and blasted a beauty baby draw off the first tee, full practice green watching. The rest of my group didn’t even tee up 😂 We get to my ball and my uncle says Damn maybe we should’ve hit, first hole and didn’t even warm up now we have to hit an approach shot?
Erik - You should post what clubs Rich was using. I think he hit a persimmon 3 wood on one hole. I wonder if Francis and Jaden would have a chance if Rich played his regular sticks.
man u truly picked an undercover major champ. Rich Beem absolutely flew under the radar from my estimation a decade after his 2002 US Open win. what a truly all time pick for an undercover champ.
Underdog…I love it when an old salty dude gets shoe horned into our group on the first tee. They are usually a duffer like the rest of us, but you sure do get a boatload of character and a good story or two. THAT is golf.
@@zachchick6547at the Mad Scramble event at Chambers Bay, he had a bunch of LAB putters for show and all of his crew were all using LAB. i have a DF 2.1 myself and i can confidently say that lie angle balanced putting feels amazing
I didn't know who Rich Beem was. (Before my time). But man do I love him now!! That was SSSSOOOOOO entertaining. What a character... The ledgend of "The Sling King" will live on in my heart.
First drive… gotta SLING it baby lmao
He went head to head with tiger to win his major. I was there and his swing in his prime was awesome to see
@@rickpenman6302 I started saying that when I hit a draw now
@travisrobison3457 Pick up a copy of Bud, Sweat, and Tees by Alan Shipnuck. You won’t regret it!
Pick up a copy of Bud, Sweat, and Tees by Alan Shipnuck for everything you ever wanted to know about Rich Beem.

Edit: Robert Morris University. RMU.
As a PA guy I was also happy to see Roccos run. Great story!
Really good story....well told...fun to read by all golfers....like me!
Ok.
If you spent more time playing golf and less time making cheeseburgers for Randy maybe you would’ve won
RGC has about 50-60 quotes they can put on shirts from this video. "you can build a walmart between those two shots" had me dying.
That’s an old Tiger line “you hear about that new K-Mart they’re building?”
Hard to believe any recreational golfer that plays just a little hasn't heard this line.
Are we 5 year olds? Stop bleeping out Rich. Jesus fucking Christ.
Also, Beemers game is absolute shit
"nothing rolls like a ball" was another funny one!
Underdog, great video! “I got nothing to do and all day to do it” underrated quote from the video imo
UNDERDOG 👊
Beem: "He's tryin' to hit *over* the wind." 😆Hilarious concept for a video, btw. Would love to see more of these!
LOL It didn't strike me as funny until I just read it...
*Slingblade Wade was channeling my father, who was NOT a scratch golfer.*
This was fantastic. “Erik- Is that a carbon fiber shaft on the iron? Rich-I don’t know, I won these off a guy.” That was a beauty of an answer.
This one is an absolute *peach* :)
Kudos to Rich Beem for getting into such an entertaining character for this. Just great fun. Love it. :)
Ok, if Rich does not make the rounds to the other youtube golf channels, they are all missing out BIG TIME. What a guy! Easily the funniest golfer I've seen yet.
bob does golf when xD
Watched him on Golfmates
I just spit out my coffee at 43:04. "I like that a LOT, Jayden. YEAH! SIT ON IT!... I like that a lot!" I can't stop laughing. I wouldn't have let you finish the round in a clear headspace after that phrasing... it's what friends are for.
This has been the funniest comment by far 👏

Awwwww
The sling king baby 😂 this video had me laughing! I remember watching that match that he beat tiger woods
The only PGA game I've ever attended. Sunday of the 2002 PGA championship at Hazeltine. My wife surprised me tickets for our anniversary. What an experience.

Classic how tiger lost twice at hazetine, and to a Minnesota guy.
"you can build a Walmart in between those two tee shots" 😂😂😂
Dang we been saying this for years at our course.😅
I say that whenever i out drive one of my boys. No matter if its a foot or 30 yards
with Sam's Club
definitely going to be saying this 🤣🤣
This has been a saying in golf for years.
5:00 "Like your typical 60-70 year old man swing" Literal major champ
gimme a break i saw 2 swings 😂
@golfpanda fr he tried to look like a hack for a minute but was still striping it 😂
That’s only 53 😂
Yep- who's close to 70 now. Things change.
Seems fake and gay
Fav to date. Great concept, great execution. Sling King Bobby: chef’s kiss on undercover boss w/ the hoodie, Ping persimmon, and Texas shit talk.
It was fake, 100%. C'mon .
That was great! I feel so honored that I got the chance to play with Beemer a few year back, at Mayakoba in Mexico. A day I will always remember.
Absolutely hilarious watching the setup of the match. Poor Beamer had to be sweating like a wrestler trying to make weight with the hoodie up. Great match and enjoyed the commentary and golf! Brandon
28:50 😂😂 "just caught that leaf"
Since playing with Slingblade this video I started using this line a lot haha
“It is me - the guy who beat Tiger in a major!” - “I knew all the time it was you, Vijay!”
‘Can we take strokes if we’re up in the match?’
‘Fuck yeah we can take strokes’. 😂😂😂
Love the attitude from “Sling Blade”!
“It looks like a drive…only shorter” 😂
I died laughing at that one.
the editing on this was amazing. normally i find golf brutally boring, but i actually watched the whole thing
Love this and man, there was some excellent ball striking! @23:00 That's a great observation and lesson to reiterate.
Reigniting my love for golf!
Eric, what a friggin round! Damn, man!
Just take the hoodie down. No way those kids will recognize Beem. They weren't born yet when he was winning
Yeah,that was silly.If they didn’t id him by face the hoodie was just more suspicious.
Hahaha 0% chance they know him
I genuinely smiled a ton during this video. Great content RGC!
Underdog 😤
Not sure anyone has made a better case for LAB putters than Erik. Keeps on dropping BOMBS
Ka-BOOM.
Q: Do you have to carry the 'Revealer' if you game a LAB putter, or is that just an option?
That was awesome - you can tell Rich not playing his best but a great player nonetheless and the two scratch guys can hit some golf shots - great job on putting this together format and everything!
I like being called Sling King baby! His banter was top top class. Well played
40:14 "son of a motherless goat" had me howling!! I've been saying that all my life since watching Three Amigos as a kid!!
What a great video .. yet again! "Sling Blade" was awesome! LOL
What a great post! So entertaining. LIV should hire him...I'd actually watch their crappy golf just to listen to him or watch him play against AK. I remember Beem outlasting Tiger...that's a feat only a handful of players ever did during his prime.
Eric & LAB are the best creator/brand duo on TH-cam.
21:50 You got that East German shot going there "Das Fuuckin Hookin"...😂too funny!
That was a really good one. Everyone involved was super cool. Bravo!
I am at minute 7 and this is priceless..... I am going to have to go to the store and get some more beer and not fast forward through this....19:40, someone can freaking put..so far...at 35:30 technically he missed an attempt at the hole and that should have counted...but this is for fun, I mean all the talking about club selection and yardage would rule out and USGA penalties in this game...42:00 what a compliment to have Rich Beam not hit after you just tagged one down the middle, what a compliment...This was so fun to watch guys, thank you for this
I hardly watch golf, only part of a show but this show was the most entertaining golf I've ever seen.
This was awesome, really funny sh!t. Got me when he says, "I ain't rootin' for you guys at all. I'm just sayin' right now. Every shot you hit makes somebody happy, and that tee shot made me ecstatic." Good job guys!
Damn Eric's putter is scorching through 4! Nice Job!
"your tee to green sucks but you can putt it boy.."
That had me laughing for a bit.
I knew Erik could putt but seeing him drop putts on top of us was very impressive! That LAB putter and that stroke was money in our match!
Listening to Rich every day on PGA 2K23. I love golf since I started playing 2K21 a few years ago.
Wondering if I would’ve recognized his voice from 2K21.
That's an East German shot " Das F.....g Hooking". priceless
I’d like to think that I purposely set him up for that…😂
I am a full 1:47 (yes, one minute 47 seconds) into this video and am DYING! This video is EPIC! Go Sling Blade Wade!!!
Two lovely lads who both swing it great 💪🏻
'After the last few attempts, I'd say hitting grass would be a hell of a start'
....lolz. Dude set himself up w that lolz. Beem is funnY AF.
Did that ball marker say “piss on luck”? Friggin awesome
Man, i've not been a fan of some of your stuff in the past but I stubbled across this and gave it a watch (actually forgetting what channel this was).
What a fucking gem. Beemer is a legend and those two kids two are genuine good guys and good sports.
Fantastic video
I didn't realize my life needed more Rich Beem. Now I do. Dude out dueled Tiger in his prime and he's funnier than most comics.
I had to pause the video. I legit have never laughed this hard while watching a golf video, and im talking ive been watching all of good good videos but, jeeesssuusss. Rich Beem @6:55 is so damn funny to me. What a great video. Im so excited to watch the rest!
Bobby “Sling-blade” Wade was hilarious. Way to lean into the role Rich!
42:21 you love to hear that from your scramble partner 😆 Especially off the first tee 😆 I stepped up first and blasted a beauty baby draw off the first tee, full practice green watching. The rest of my group didn’t even tee up 😂 We get to my ball and my uncle says Damn maybe we should’ve hit, first hole and didn’t even warm up now we have to hit an approach shot?
"that looked like a drive... just shorter" haha that ones coming home with me lol
Found Erik’s channel through Grant. Glad I did! Love the content and production of these videos. All formats I might add. Thanks for this!
Thanks man!
This lends some credence to Beem being Club Pro Guy
1000%
its him, no doubt. for me it is his setup that clinched it.
Lol Negative, KC finance dude
Respect there Francis on the self-yip call, lol!
Yeah I totally yipped it. I should’ve just Texas wedged it
Underdog. Loved watching Rich Beem play. Great commentator too.
The "it only hurts for a minute" comment was wild. 😂😂
That was my favourite aswell 😂😂👍👍
Ts funny😂😂
Underdog! That headcover is sick! Such a cool course, definitly on my bucket list.
Holy smokes I just turned on the PGA Championship and Rich Beem just putt in for birdie and Erik is caddying for him 😮
Let's freaking go!
That was a lot of fun. Rich Beem is so funny. A load of great quotes.
UNDERDOG "is this huy the head pro or something" was when i realized they were catching on
Underdog. This video was worth it just for the smack talk. "You make someone happy with every shot... That shot made me ecstatic."
It takes a certain skill to insult someone and get them to laugh at the same time
late for work rn, but cant stop watching... great stuff here E!
Erik - You should post what clubs Rich was using. I think he hit a persimmon 3 wood on one hole. I wonder if Francis and Jaden would have a chance if Rich played his regular sticks.
man u truly picked an undercover major champ. Rich Beem absolutely flew under the radar from my estimation a decade after his 2002 US Open win. what a truly all time pick for an undercover champ.
As a Brit, we have adopted Beemer as one of our own. Just love this guy on Sky Sports Golf.
We would recognise his voice in ten words!
@@NickWainwright6970I was just thinking that, his voice is so distinctive. I don’t think they are exposed to him as much in the US
Please turn this into a series haha! Great content!
As if anyone would recognize Rick Beem if he wasn't in disguise... lol
Rich is freaking hilarous! Love the banters!
Also - underdog!
Sling blade got that underdog in him
Underdog…I love it when an old salty dude gets shoe horned into our group on the first tee. They are usually a duffer like the rest of us, but you sure do get a boatload of character and a good story or two. THAT is golf.
Will Zalatoris is saying "man, that guy is skinny" !!!!!
I don't even like golf and I still watched the whole thing. Kudos!
40:49 is when the boys realize that they are playing with Rich Beem ❤
THANK YOU THANK YOU
Jaden and Francis actually game planning. And we got “ITS SLING BABY! 🗣️”
if this isn't one of the best marketing videos for LAB Golf, i don't know what is
#untorqueyourself
it was crazy to watch in person too 🙌
I would never buy a $500 putter, now I need one 😂 there has to be lessons and technique in his putting these days or is it really mostly the LAB?
@@zachchick6547at the Mad Scramble event at Chambers Bay, he had a bunch of LAB putters for show and all of his crew were all using LAB. i have a DF 2.1 myself and i can confidently say that lie angle balanced putting feels amazing
Genius idea, and some of the quips are diamond. I am sharing this with the World, it’s what a cold windy Saturday requires to gladden the heart.
Fancis and Jaden!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!!
This was fun to watch. Rich was sooo entertaining as the slinnnng! Baby 😆
Love how these two guys thought they were the main characters here
We never thought we were the main characters with Slingblade in our group 😂
Man had more personality than I could ever dream of having, I was having a supporting character moment 💀
19:00 “nothing rolls like a ball” 🤣
Credit to those other guys, they were players.
Thanks man! It was fun to play with a major champ
Yea good playing guys!
@@rickpenman6302 Thanks for watching!
Now that was fun!! Rich is just the coolest! Thanks for the channel! Sorry about the sad shit talkers commenting on the Port Hardy, St. Lucia episode.
Next make a character that only plays irons. Iron Ike. Would love to see a parody match between ridiculous characters. Love y’all!
My buddy played only his 6 iron…. I don’t know why…. But he shot a good round
They did a hell of a job against the Breem team!
That Jaden kid is pretty solid!!
He's got a pure move don't he
Love seeing Eric playing great golf again
Thanks guys, I absolutely enjoyed this!!
Underdog. New to the channel, loving the undercover player banter.
UNDERDOG! Absolutely love the videos, keep em coming!
OMG I was laughing all the time, Rich's quotes are hilarious!!!
Underdog
Vid is fantastic as always. Beem is hilarious with his commentary.
Loved it thanks this type of format is fun to watch !
Was great to meet Rich at the British Seniors Open in South Wales last year. Top bloke !
UNDERDOG - Great video! Much respect to RB. Hard to pull off a golf rouge!
Rich Beem got some bangers, perfect personality for this.
Rich "Sling it, baby" Beem was hilarious. Great match and pretty close in the end.
Epic concept so expertly executed - really top quality W out loud laughs - sling it Underdog baby
One of the best laughs I’ve had in ages! Cheers!
UNDERDOG !!!
More please great vid Beemer what a legend!!
