I hope y’all do this for every major going forward. Even the significant courses in the future, watch these videos over and over.
I’m particularly pumped for the Major after this one 😁
The Country Club looks amazing! I love seeing US Opens come back to old golf courses like this. No matter the winning score, it’s going to be a great week for golf having a major championship back at The Country Club.
I love how many of us LIVE for these. Keep it up! I wish every video on TH-cam had as much intention/care behind it.
We LIV for these. 🤣🤣
I got to play this course in 1991, and shot 78 - but it felt like shooting a 68. The greens were even smaller than you see in this video. Prior to that round, I had played Salem, Winchester, Essex County Club and Myopia Hunt Club and never imagined The Country Club could be *that* much better, but it was.
I blocked my drive on The Himalayas hole, so my ball ended up on the top of the ledgy hill. As I approached my ball , the green complex came into view, and I was almost brought to tears.
You don’t need to brag, dude
@@chezchezchezchez I wasn't bragging - I mentioned my score and what it felt like shooting simply to convey how difficult the course was. If I shot 90 but it felt like an 80, it'd be no different.
ever since I started playing golf even tho I been watching it for years. Nothing gets me excited and makes me smile hella hard when I see a BEAUTIFUL golf course. these videos are pure gold for every golf enthusiasts.
Love these videos. This course looks beautiful and challenging. I'm a big fan of The Country Club after watching "The Greatest Game Ever Played".
Watch some of the 1999 Ryder Cup highlights. Also played on this course.
I recommend reading the book the greatest game ever played by Mark Frost, after reading the book and then watching the movie I had to see this layout
What an amazing course. And so much history.
Please make more of these, this is my favorite segment on TH-cam
As a life long New England golfer, I love see a major event on a course like this.
Fortunate to play this last year. It was one of the best golfing experiences I have ever had. Have been fortunate too play many great courses in America such as national golf links, shinnecock and merion East, but this for me trumped them all. Just the history and the geography of the place is stunning. It should be in the world's top ten. If you ever get the chance too play this gorgeous place it is a must!
This gives me hope that we will finally get back to winning scores at the US Open being over par, that's more exciting in my opinion!
Agreed
I hope so too
That 10th hole is a monster
Been waiting weeks for this!
same!
Very good and elaborate narration. Wordy. Dramatic. Good vocabulary !!!
Super great golf course with no houses !!!!!!!!!!!!!
No. 14 is an absolute beast.
100% agree, if guys miss the fairway on that hole, they won’t be able to make it to the upper fairway. I could see that hole playing over par on average for the championship, which would be very unusual for a par 5.
I was just at the US Open practice round yesterday, very cool to see the authentic course without all of the grand stannds and tents, much more of a historical feel by itself
Great series. This course when set up for the US Open, will be quite a challenge!
Try a few great Australian courses when you get the chance - ie Royal Melbourne, Cape Wickham, Kingstone Heath, NSW GC
Some proper major championship golf to be played here 👏 can't wait. Love these videos.
Nice video. Thanks. Looking forward to next week.
this is an amazing course, with a great level of difficulty!!!
what a track. beautiful.
These should be done in 4k and for all majors going forward.
Great video, keep them coming. Looks like a difficult setup that will cause problems.
Yes!! So geeked for this...
Once again knocked it out of the park. Please do one for St. Andrews and Deere Run
Amazing video.
Now this is what I call an US Open layout. Hopefully the weather cooperates. I'd love to see this track play firm and fast!
came here because i am reading Sir Walter Hagen's autobiography and his hole by hole account of the final day of the 2013 us open. he was a complete unknown 20 year old who managed to finish T2 in this event 3 strokes behind Vardon, Ray, and Ouimet. in the book he lays the blame on his triple bogey 7 at the 14th so I imagine that was a par 4 at that time. The following year he set everything right at Midlothian.⛳
Agreed. These are amazing!
This course was made for TV. So unique, especially that 9th hole. 417 yards but might play longer
simply, one of the ultimate golf landmarks in the united states. feels too right to be real.
Husband caddied there in the sixties, got paid in half dollars. Used to be unless your ancestors came over on the Mayflower, you stood next to no chance getting on. If you happened to be Irish, you stood zero chance of ever getting on. Quite the place.
I've spent a fair amount of time at TCC... great overview!
Love this course!
Love these
If there is any amount of wind, with the thick rough, I don’t know how you’d hit the green. It’ll be fun to watch and see how it plays out.
Thats why I think a guy like Cam Smith will play good here. It's going to be hard to hit greens and with the blind shots even good ball strikers will have trouble. Short game will prevail here at Brookline.
Cam Smith isn't the golfer for this course, dude is too inconsistent with the driver to hit fairways. Jon Rahm, Scheffler and McIlroy will thrive here because they drive it so well
Wow, alot of those greens look really narrow. I'll take Justin Thomas and Cameron Smith as my favorites right now.
I have been lucky enough to get an invite to play this course. It is IMPOSSIBLE....Any pro that shoots under part here for four rounds deserves a shot at winning the US open -- I think winning score will be only a few under par and the winner will have a hi-light real of great putts and par saves out of sand or deep rough around the greens
Cam Smith?
The Country Club layout looks like men and women have united for the love of the game.
Going all 7 days :)
Some people say they wish they could watch a US Open at Pine Valley, considered how tough everyone claims it is. Well, this one is very close to it.........This is a brutal golf course.
Nice👍
Looks like players could score over the closing 3 holes. Should be an interesting Sunday finish. The rest of the course looks brutal.
Famous pro years ago hit his approach practice round to no.1 Oakmont for U.S.Open .When what he thought was good approach rolled completely off back he took his ball and withdrew. Are these fair rewarding setups I questions that sometimes .Maybe it's just acceptance of life not fair!!
GIVE THIS FREAKING NARRATOR THE BIGGEST RAISE! GOOSE BUMPS THE WHOLE VIDEO!
Inject the St. Andrews video into my veins.
We've got ya covered, Kev.
@@GolfDigest These belong in a museum. Well done to all involved.
NEVER STOP DOING THESE VIDEOS! I love them all!!!
@@GolfDigest when is the St. Andrews video dropping?
Why is there not one of these for Pine Needles
I too would like a Pine Needles video.
499 yd par 4?
Can you do Streamsong Red ?
HOPE the crew at the Open make the course insanely difficult for greedy, aging, Lefty players
that looks like one the toughest routes in the world
I hope they play hole 11 this weekend. Would love to see half a dozen players get an ace lol
hope the usga dont screw this up.. i want the pros to struggle and to see a winning score over par
Cameron Young has entered the chat…
Could be a over par winner
Ah yes, we’ve been expecting you
Very different to the layouts for the ‘88 US Open and ‘99 Ryder Cup.
wow
Winning score prediction 1,2, or 3 under if they get gusting wind 8-10 is a possibility
9 over in 1963 here is highest US Open winning score post WWII
Looks cool for sure but frankensteining random holes together to make a different routing every time is pretty lame
Believe me, this course is not lame and the configuration has and always has been done since the 1920's.
You say it hasn’t changed and then say the racecourse was removed and the first fairway follows the route. What is the truth?
I hope the USGA will continue coming to this club for a tournament, too much golf history lies here
These are great but for the love of golf, shoot and upload them in 4K, it's 2022! Viewing on any modern display makes the videos look like potatoes.
Shia LaBeouf will win this golf tournament
Some of these approach shots look impossible.
DDP
Aaaaaaaaaaah
of course it was in the 1990's that the pga started destroying golf course original designs to add 50 yard to every hole so everyone would have to buy $500 novelty drivers...by the 2000's they had succeeded in ruining almost every course on tour.
the only real answer to the training wheels on pro drivers is to SHORTEN and TIGHTEN courses so that the drivers in the hands of gorillas is not the deciding factor in golf, but opens the competition up to SHOT MAKERS as well as gorillas!
look at 18 at olympic club...350 yard par 4...i'll bet the pros are always over par when they play it...THAT'S a 'timeless design' of a proper golf hole...NOT simply adding length to reduce competition...that's a CRIMINAL neglect of their responsibility.
and it's been done across the board...which is how you know it's on purpose.
they CREATED this limited hangout long-drive contest novelty sport...the result has been the destruction of all the great golf courses they touch.
Love these
