I was just thinking that too. But I think the fact that it’s not on Netflix and isn’t crazy high budget is what makes it special. I feel like if they had a $500,000 budget per episode it wouldn’t be the same
I thought the same thing. Then I thought they probably enjoy the creative freedom and ability to do things their way with no strings attached. The only downside is I don’t think enough people see and appreciate their content and maybe a massive corporation like Netflix or HBO could give them that exposure. It just may not be worth compromising who they are as a team.
Andy being in this episode is like when the Harlem Globetrotters used to show up on Scooby Doo. The show was already superb. But the Globetrotters just made that shit memorable.
Trying to mind the hyperbole, but hard to imagine a better three to play with than Neil, Big Guy and Andy. Andy just always has the perfect thing to say no matter the circumstance. Inspiring stuff
DJ, we appreciate the lines you’re willing to take on not only your full shots, but your putts as well. Television product. Love what you do for people.
Love the conspicuous divot replacement by Soly. These courses are legit better than the $275 tracks here in California. Andy is a great guy. Met him at one of his events.
Live here, its only 8 months you get to play but its some of the best public affordable golf in the world. Little upset they didn't make it to Arcadia Bluffs being the #10 public course by golf digest, I think #14 now. But doesn't matter because its the best golf channel on youtube.
I've been a fan of Andy Johnson for quite some time now, and just watching this episode makes me feel like I gained a bunch of Golf IQ points. Can't wait to be the douche in my foursome explaining Lion's Mouth Green strategies. GREAT CONTENT as always, guys. Keep it up.
from GR and former Kent County Amateur champ in the 70's and you have given me a reason to go back. Love your podcast. Look forward to it every week. Like sitting with buddies in the grill room at Cascade Hills where I grew up and shooting the shit about golf. Keep it up.
The production quality of this was second to none, thanks so much for a really great watch. Seeing Andy join you for an ep was an absolute treat. Keep it up!
This one hit home for me. Literally. Great to see the boys playing at my home course (The Mines) and drinking beers at the brewery across the street from my office. Hope you all enjoyed our unique little corner of the world!
Another great part of the adventure. Watch this on the big screen. I watch most stuff on TH-cam on my iPad. NLU totally deserves a bigger screen. Production is excellent, thanks NLU
Egg’s golf swing in Venn diagram comparison with Randy’s would just be two separate circles. Love the content boys, would absolutely love to see a Strapped: Southwest Michigan covering Kalamazoo, GR, and the smaller coastal towns around here
Just stumbled on this channel while looking at some MI golf course content. Damn, this is how I want every golf trip to be with my buds. Good times, good beers, lots of F bombs and pure quality time with my boys. Cheers.
Is there anything better than when the big guy has energy out there? The on-screen charisma of the strapped boys is unmatched. Andy seemingly had a one-liner for every imaginable situation, just a great addition to the episode.
I lived in Michigan for years, and always defaulted to Gaylord or Traverse City for the annual golf trip. After watching this, next up is GR without a doubt!
This is my 3rd time watching this series. The editing and general content in this series is amazing. Best golf content anywhere, idk how much time you guys spent putting this together but it’s amazing. Job well done boys. As a Michigan native I’m so happy you guys came to our great state. Thank you all
Guys I drove over FIVE HOURS one-way to play Diamond Springs this summer just because of the article Andy wrote on the Fried Egg, and I can't fricking English how cool it is to see the NLU boys drooling over it now. Man, I just wish I would've gotten to play it with y'all! Maybe some other time.
Buddy trip p0rn. One of your best yet re: vibe. The Pie-Man's editing is off the charts. Please do more with AJ in the future ... maybe a yearly mini-series covering an architecture nerd's buddies trip ... I love the Fried Egg but AJ pops when he has people around him / a captive audience. Criminally good content. The Nest Membership is well worth the $.
Absolutely love Pilgrims Run. Shot 87 there once for a veteran golf tournament. The course is such a tough test and hidden gem. Glad you guys played it!
High praise from Melbourne Australia, my brother just watched this episode having never seen anything from you guys before, His comment was F==k I've got some back catalogue to get through!
Andy and Randy should have a show on the golf channel where they go around fixing public golf courses! “Have you considered single mow?” “What about a center line pond?” Could single handedly save public golf in America
Randy bringing up the megabonus in front of Neil was A+ gamesmanship. Also nice call to Strapped just a few minutes after the C-Suite was rattling off all the super expensive courses they've played.
Truly enjoying the flying F bombers this season. As if you guys needed any help being more relatable! Born and raised in Oregon. Saw your channel during the Covid. Never stopped. Appreciate you fellas! Cheers
You make by far the nicest Golf movies on TH-cam. This is soooo nice! I love the shots and the style of your videos :) Thanks for this great piece of entertainment!
Great episode guys, production levels have gone through the roof. Only feedback I'd give is for me the match format detracts from my favourite thing about Tourist Sauce, which is the whole group playing together.
Live here, its only 8 months you get to play but its some of the best public affordable golf in the world. Little upset they didn't make it to Arcadia Bluffs being the #10 public course by golf digest, I think #14 now. But doesn't matter because its the best golf channel on youtube.
As a MASSIVE NLU and Tourist Sauce fan (and UofM alum), I was not fully bought in on this season before this (think the UofM episode was pretty flat tbh without any drone shots). However, this is one of the best Tourist Sauce episodes I have seen- focus on architecture (huge fan of Andy and the fried egg), under-the-radar destination, great vibes on the course. Makes me miss Michigan. Thank you NLU 🙏🏼
You are such an inspiration. You're my favourite channel on youtube and one day I hope my production of my golf content will be as good and professional as yours.
Such great content! The editing is top notch. The banter is awesome. Reminds me of when me and my buddies play. I'm pulling for ya Neil. "You can do it."
The silhoutte of the center fairway trees on 11th at Diamond Springs should be the logo for the course merch...I'll only charge them with a putter cover for the idea
Phil, you were putting solidly when you adopted the Michelle Wie stance and stroke. Since you've abandoned that positioning and gone left-hand low I've noticed you missing more short putts than ever. Gotta get that figured out in addition to the Furyk loop at the top of your swing I noticed more in this video. Not sure what's going on there, but methinks part of the problem is you're not playing enough golf in Denver and you're falling into some bad swing/putting habits. Good luck to you!
On # 4 Randy did what I've done many times. Hit a great driver and then totally screw up the approach shot. I winced when I saw Randy hit the worm burner, hit very close to home. ha ha
It's about time Netflix or HBO threw y'all some F You money. Your production value has gotten so incredibly good. Thank you, and bravo.
I was just thinking that too. But I think the fact that it’s not on Netflix and isn’t crazy high budget is what makes it special. I feel like if they had a $500,000 budget per episode it wouldn’t be the same
Agreed. DJ is a really talented dude.
I thought the same thing. Then I thought they probably enjoy the creative freedom and ability to do things their way with no strings attached. The only downside is I don’t think enough people see and appreciate their content and maybe a massive corporation like Netflix or HBO could give them that exposure. It just may not be worth compromising who they are as a team.
The most UNDERRATED channel on all of TH-cam....The way its produced, edited and filmed is second to none...Absolutely enjoyable.
Andy being in this episode is like when the Harlem Globetrotters used to show up on Scooby Doo. The show was already superb. But the Globetrotters just made that shit memorable.
Randy trying to hex Neil at the turn was all-time gamesmanship.
Trying to mind the hyperbole, but hard to imagine a better three to play with than Neil, Big Guy and Andy. Andy just always has the perfect thing to say no matter the circumstance. Inspiring stuff
Love how offended Cody was at the thought of having to tell Randy the wrong time to make sure he turned up on time!
“No.”
Best line of the episode.
Bc if you’re late in the military. See ya
Watching Big Randy get frustrated with his game when he clearly never practices and rarely plays truly never gets old. Big Randy is all of us.
TC's drive on 18 was so good he somehow combined the Crouch Chop and the "Marv getting electrocuted" into one move
We have a winner. Email proshop@nolayingup.com to claim your rangefinder!
DJ, we appreciate the lines you’re willing to take on not only your full shots, but your putts as well. Television product. Love what you do for people.
These guys seriously have the best relationships off and on the golf course. Everyone deserves a group of golf buddies like them
Love the conspicuous divot replacement by Soly.
These courses are legit better than the $275 tracks here in California.
Andy is a great guy. Met him at one of his events.

Yo Chippy. Are you a SoCal or NorCal golfer? Just curious.
@@gremlingolfer Usually SoCal but play in the north too
I've been a fan of Andy Johnson for quite some time now, and just watching this episode makes me feel like I gained a bunch of Golf IQ points. Can't wait to be the douche in my foursome explaining Lion's Mouth Green strategies. GREAT CONTENT as always, guys. Keep it up.
Andy giving Neil the benefit of the doubt and asking if he caught a flyer was very classy.
Another missed opportunity to call him cagey
from GR and former Kent County Amateur champ in the 70's and you have given me a reason to go back. Love your podcast. Look forward to it every week. Like sitting with buddies in the grill room at Cascade Hills where I grew up and shooting the shit about golf. Keep it up.
Randy's "F*ck you" after that putt was the hardest I've laughed in a while. Have never related to anything more in my life.
“Its still real to me damnit”
I wanted Randy to do the Tommy Fleetwood flip the bird at his golf ball
The production quality of this was second to none, thanks so much for a really great watch. Seeing Andy join you for an ep was an absolute treat. Keep it up!
This one hit home for me. Literally. Great to see the boys playing at my home course (The Mines) and drinking beers at the brewery across the street from my office. Hope you all enjoyed our unique little corner of the world!
You guys need a series on Netflix. The production quality is that high!!! Love it.
Another great part of the adventure. Watch this on the big screen. I watch most stuff on TH-cam on my iPad. NLU totally deserves a bigger screen. Production is excellent, thanks NLU
Egg’s golf swing in Venn diagram comparison with Randy’s would just be two separate circles. Love the content boys, would absolutely love to see a Strapped: Southwest Michigan covering Kalamazoo, GR, and the smaller coastal towns around here

Is there anything better than when the big guy has energy out there? The on-screen charisma of the strapped boys is unmatched. Andy seemingly had a one-liner for every imaginable situation, just a great addition to the episode.
best one yet. love how they don't focus on Andy's round then just slip it in at the end that he had 5 birds on the back. great stuff.
I lived in Michigan for years, and always defaulted to Gaylord or Traverse City for the annual golf trip. After watching this, next up is GR without a doubt!
This is my 3rd time watching this series. The editing and general content in this series is amazing. Best golf content anywhere, idk how much time you guys spent putting this together but it’s amazing. Job well done boys. As a Michigan native I’m so happy you guys came to our great state. Thank you all
Guys I drove over FIVE HOURS one-way to play Diamond Springs this summer just because of the article Andy wrote on the Fried Egg, and I can't fricking English how cool it is to see the NLU boys drooling over it now. Man, I just wish I would've gotten to play it with y'all! Maybe some other time.
Love when I see you guys come together. Great to see Andy with you guys on the DeVries courses we hear about on the Fried Egg
Pilgrims Run is such a hidden gem 🙌🏼🏌🏼♂️🤙🏼 love that course
This is probably the greatest thing I've watched all year. It's an epic piece of golf cinema.
Awesome to see Big Randy respecting the architect's intention by playing the ground game (through the bag, I might add).
I’m convinced that for the money, west Michigan has the best courses in the country. Not many places you can play $40-$70 courses like these!
Soly, that swing around 8 minutes was a privilege to watch. Thank you
Buddy trip p0rn.
One of your best yet re: vibe. The Pie-Man's editing is off the charts.
Please do more with AJ in the future ... maybe a yearly mini-series covering an architecture nerd's buddies trip ... I love the Fried Egg but AJ pops when he has people around him / a captive audience.
Criminally good content. The Nest Membership is well worth the $.
Absolutely love Pilgrims Run. Shot 87 there once for a veteran golf tournament. The course is such a tough test and hidden gem. Glad you guys played it!
The NLU crew are fantastic….. but yes Andy just adds another level! Both the podcasts are top notch too…. Good stuff
High praise from Melbourne Australia, my brother just watched this episode having never seen anything from you guys before, His comment was F==k I've got some back catalogue to get through!
It's absolutely criminal that this channel doesn't have over a million subscribers. Keep up the fantastic work guys.
Andy and Randy should have a show on the golf channel where they go around fixing public golf courses!
“Have you considered single mow?”
“What about a center line pond?”
Could single handedly save public golf in America
Andy carries his bag like the kid at high school golf tryouts who has never played before
Absolutely love the passion for golf and telling the story of an area and the golf courses.
Randy bringing up the megabonus in front of Neil was A+ gamesmanship. Also nice call to Strapped just a few minutes after the C-Suite was rattling off all the super expensive courses they've played.
If Randy got any less height on his driver, he'd be racing for AlphaTauri
Been fortunate to play all these local courses more than a few times, the GR area is full of great golf courses.
Showing my home state in this light makes me so thankful that I got to grow up there. You guys are awesome and I already can't wait for next week!
Kris Schumacher is an amazing guy, worked with him at the Mines. He is so fun, a wealth of golf knowledge.
For as much as he rips on Nike scriptings, Tron’s shirt sure looks like he’s trying to give Nike some inspo for their 2022 Masters scripting.
LOL! "How good is that?" from Randy on the fluffed chip was a highlight
so happy that i am the first one to say BRENDANNNNNNNN!!!!!
Been waiting patiently for the Diamond Springs video. Most underrated course this side of the state.
Most underrated course this side of the *ground*, I'd say!
Truly enjoying the flying F bombers this season. As if you guys needed any help being more relatable! Born and raised in Oregon. Saw your channel during the Covid. Never stopped. Appreciate you fellas! Cheers
I cannot tell you how much I love these guys! Makes my day every time!
Makes me miss being back home in the Summer. 3 of my favorites to play in the Greater Grand Rapids area.
Between NLU and RGC - you guys would make a banger series.
You make by far the nicest Golf movies on TH-cam. This is soooo nice! I love the shots and the style of your videos :)
Thanks for this great piece of entertainment!
Favorite part of my week! This content is unmatched
Impressive pops on the 16th green. Get The Egg Man on the next Strapped! Bunked up with the boys in a RV!
Love this, I played all 3 of these for the first time this summer. All wonderful but The Mines was my favorite.
Great episode guys, production levels have gone through the roof. Only feedback I'd give is for me the match format detracts from my favourite thing about Tourist Sauce, which is the whole group playing together.
Andy Johnson is truly a goated individual.
Live here, its only 8 months you get to play but its some of the best public affordable golf in the world. Little upset they didn't make it to Arcadia Bluffs being the #10 public course by golf digest, I think #14 now. But doesn't matter because its the best golf channel on youtube.
Arcadia bluffs didnt want them . They tried to go there . One of them said it on a pod
Diamond springs was the first course I shot level par for 9 holes! I love Grand Rapids
Played Diamond Springs around the same time you guys did. Was delightful. First course I’ve played that makes an appearance in your videos. SICK!!!
As a MASSIVE NLU and Tourist Sauce fan (and UofM alum), I was not fully bought in on this season before this (think the UofM episode was pretty flat tbh without any drone shots). However, this is one of the best Tourist Sauce episodes I have seen- focus on architecture (huge fan of Andy and the fried egg), under-the-radar destination, great vibes on the course. Makes me miss Michigan. Thank you NLU 🙏🏼
Lol, talk to your campus police. 😂
Thanks for watching!
you guys nearly getting shelled from an adjacent fairway at 40:27 was a nice late episode twist
I scrolled trough the comments hoping no one else saw it, so I could comment something new 🤣
Very Pine Valley-esque
Favorite episode of the season so far. Well done!
Joy to watch ! Well done Deeej
The microwave man’s face after knoting it up after 5. Hysterical.
gr native, traverse city current. honored to see a few of my hometown favorites featured. great episode
Love seeing the Pieman rock the Belmont hat. We appreciate the support!
This was my summer golf trip in a video love Grand Rapids great beer and golf
Very 2012 Rory style of play from Neil. Driving drives the game . + sick bunker play
Absolutely loved this one! The golf looked great and an epic podcast crossover with Egg Co.
Andy has a voice only a mother could love.
Best day of the week when tourist sauce or strapped comes out. Love the product boys. Randy let's play sometime, I'm in Denver too!!!
Saw Soly replace that mammoth divot and my first thought was "damn, I wonder if Big Randy would miss a putt inside that thing."
Great episode I so enjoy your games and perspective of the game, courses and the people who manage these places
Pilgrims run is absolutely incredible
You are such an inspiration. You're my favourite channel on youtube and one day I hope my production of my golf content will be as good and professional as yours.
Such great content! The editing is top notch. The banter is awesome. Reminds me of when me and my buddies play. I'm pulling for ya Neil. "You can do it."
The silhoutte of the center fairway trees on 11th at Diamond Springs should be the logo for the course merch...I'll only charge them with a putter cover for the idea
Gotta love to see my home course mines getting some love.
Really cool to see you guys talk with Brian Urlacher about his post-football life as a golf course owner.
Underrated comment
Michigan has a few of these golf destination cities, Lansing, Mt. Pleasant, Battle Creek, Traverse City
I love Andy so much
Well that was awesome! Loving this series fellas
Flyover shows a deep bunker. Andy: “That’s a reverse Randy. A modern template. It’s a lot of risk to take on.”
NLU team, please publish your itineraries from this trip and Oregon. Sell it if you must, but PLEASE make it available some how.
Phil, you were putting solidly when you adopted the Michelle Wie stance and stroke. Since you've abandoned that positioning and gone left-hand low I've noticed you missing more short putts than ever. Gotta get that figured out in addition to the Furyk loop at the top of your swing I noticed more in this video. Not sure what's going on there, but methinks part of the problem is you're not playing enough golf in Denver and you're falling into some bad swing/putting habits. Good luck to you!
Jig the boom 🤯 🤣. A real old salt that Randy 😂. More like a mashup of gettin jiggy with it and boom shake the room…. That Randy is real cagey.
The egg man was giving off more free range chicken vibes than cagey vibes with the full disclosure of the centerline pond from the tee box
Randys putting should have had a pre show warning some of us have got competitions this week
Great work gents!
Pilgrims run over tobacco road - that's so tron. Carolina golf is the best 👌 👍
On # 4 Randy did what I've done many times. Hit a great driver and then totally screw up the approach shot. I winced when I saw Randy hit the worm burner, hit very close to home. ha ha
Oh man Randy staring at that statue made me lol.
This may be my first golf trip. I am in Toronto so it's just a 5 and a half hour drive.
Andy has a money swing! Don't know why, but didn't expect it!
If big Randy isn't on time for the Old Course at St,Andrews, Michigan doesn't stand a chance.
Soly injures wrist and changes swing to prevent injury.
Also Soly, auditioning for early settler grass pelt trader.
Highly entertaining 🙂
