- Erik Anders Lang and his battle to break 90 continues at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles. What started at Pebble Beach has taken EAL to The Renaissance Club in Scotland and Nine Bridges in South Korea. Now, ahead of the Genesis Invitational, Erik will again be put to the test at Riviera playing under PGA tournament conditions from the tips at 7,300 yards par 71. The task of posting a score under 90 is not an easy one. Erik must channel the mental fortitude of golf pros like Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, and Tiger Woods if he wants to succeed.
*Thank you to the Tiger Woods Foundation who provided 100 free tickets to the Genesis Invitational to participants at our Random Golf Club event at Penmar Golf Course; video coming soon!

This is my home course! And by "home course" I mean "this course is near my home."
Hahaha exactly
They won't let me in!
Big money, or else you have to know somebody or blow somebody. LACC, bel air, Riviera, one day i would love2 play well at all 3 George c Thomas, jr masterpieces. But the fact is, I will probably never set eyes on any of them, irl. Just (riviera) on tv, I guess. Golf is still elitist and exclusionary but dreams do exist.

They say Los Angeles country club is the real jewel, bcz of the land he had to work with. I think the other2 tons of earth had to be moved but lacc was pretty much as is. He put in some greens and pins and bunkers, called it a masterpiece.

Erik, I appreciate that you keep making these videos even though you don't normally play for score. Personally, I think they make a great statement on perseverance in the face of tremendous difficulty. The thing about perseverance is that it makes it that much sweeter when you finally achieve that goal. I know you will. Keep being awesome.
Thanks man! I am not going to stop trying that’s for sure!!!
Wow Cubfan! Was not expecting you here
How do you have a handicap if you don’t play for score?
all those emotions you go through is everything a golfer has experienced or experiences when we go out to play and struggle. love this stuff.
The challenge is what makes it more addicting in our beautiful game
In other words, every dang time I play.
“Pins are tucked” ...
Drone shot: pin in the middle of the green
Everytime I shoot a bad score, I threaten to quit the game and play chess by the fireplace in the club house. I still play the game and love it. You are me and all of us in this vid EAL. Thanks for the great content.
This intro is absolutely electric!
What is that song
This jazz guitar is impeccable, I was hoping I’d see this in the comments
16:10 That sponsorship plug was as subtle as a brick to the head, Erik
After watching Tiger Woods shoot 41 on the front 9 here today, your performance seems pretty spectacular.
I appreciate that, really do
Hahahaha nice
Easily the best course vlog commentary out there. Love the realness! My favorite exchange by far..21:41-22:28. this is Priceless. Great stuff!
Try and break 90 at Beverly's Hills GC... I dare you 😏
One of my favourite ever vids you have done. The emotions and editing, absolutely top draw. Much love from Spain!
Love this. Captures the ups, the downs the hope and grind of posting a score. Relatable. Fun. And great to watch.
Erik. I think you have the skills to achieve your goal. The course didn't beat you,....you beat yourself. "Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half inch course, the space between your ears"
Bobby Jones
Remember, the golf ball your hitting doesn't know what hole or course your on. Just use your skills that brought you to a 4,1 Handicap and you'll be just fine.
P.S. lighten the "F" up when your out there.....I'm certain your best rounds have been when your loose & relaxed with your buds. Add your scorecard @ the end and you'll shoot better/= have fun. Keep swinging kid.

"Your more than just your score" very true Erik. I think we as amateur golfers need to remember that more
Love this. True emotion. Not the normal TH-cam edits to sell a lie! Great stuff EAL!
I love these videos. Entertaining but really it just shows what we all go through when playing golf from a real perspective. I appreciate that and keep it going :)
Love this video man, reminds me of so many rounds I have played at our links course. A 12 in the opening hole of the club champs, lost ball, walk back to tee, buried in rough and so on! Keep up the amazing content Erik!
I think these videos are brilliant if nothing more to show that you, as one of the most chill and fun golfers to watch, change so dramatically when you're fighting for a score. It serves as such a lesson to everyone playing casual golf that the most important thing is not just having fun, but ensuring that you're not ruining the experience of others by getting super down on yourself because of bad play.
The reason I enjoy watching these is that I get a real comprehension of how easy the pros make it look. You’re struggle is hard to watch at times, but only because we know how hard it is to play when things aren’t going right.
Great vid! Excited to see it. Keep them coming! The relatability of these are great!
Love the break 90 series!
First time watching one of your videos - subscribed. This is a high quality video, from the content, commentary, filming to the editing; everything top notch. I'm a fan already. Thanks for this!
Honestly one of my favorite videos on TH-cam, keep coming back to this to remind myself why I play golf.
"I'm a 4 handicap"
Press X
He's playing a 7,300 yard course from the tips, under PGA Tour conditions. Tiger Woods shot a 41 on the front 9 of this course. No average scratch golfer is shooting par or even that close on this course.
@@aranhoran4430 Thank you for educating
Unfortunately his short game tells me he's not a 4 handicap. He chunks and thins chips regularly, which doesn't really have much to do with how long the course is.
Thank you Erik for taking us along with you on your journey. I fully agree with you about how "incorrectly" we view golf here in the US. I was a 4 handicap in my late 20s and ultimately gave up the game for 15 years because I lost my love and enjoyment as I focused on getting down to a 2+ to try to qualify for the US Open. I forgot how much fun I had playing with my mates and my family. Keep up the great work and know that I am right there with you on your journey. All the best!!
Literally the best series on TH-cam !!
Erik "Now we just need to hole this from..."
Caddie "184 out..."
Bro..... I appreciate you binging us these "Break 90" series..... I know it's painful but it makes us really get a grasp on how hard it is for us to score well. A couple of time sI yelled out loud.....get in!!! Thanks again.....
Amazing content. When you challenge yourself it helps you grow, and as part of your community, thats what we love to see. Keep it up.
Love these series. Totally mental side that gets you every time.
Absolute quality opener. Hands down best golf videos on youtube.
I love watching these breaking 90 videos as some other have said already these videos are authentic and a real tribute to the game and their is why my 11yr old son and I watch these. Would love to see you play Cabot links up here In Canada!
Dope editing gives this vid an awesome vibe! Keep it up you guys!
Man I've followed your channel for the past year. Just love your content mate as a golfer myself, keep up the amazing work!
“Feel free to unsubscribe”, I subscribed because of this.
I know it’s the goal, but forget about the score and enjoy the challenge. Add ‘em up at the end. You got it.
Ander is a great guy, the number of youtubers you are TELLING you to smash the subcribe and hit the bell before their videos have even played is disgusting.
Love the video Erik as always the quality is so great thank you
I really love these videos. Its one of few places where you get the comparison between the averega guy and the best of the best. Its awesome and i really appreciate you doing it despite the frustration it brings you 🙂
Hi Eric, love this stuff. Part of the reason I started playing about 2 years ago, keep it going ✌🏼
I love this series! You’re the man!
As a 5.3, I wish the 4.1’s I got matched up against at my home club played like this 😂
Literally What I I was thinking for the whole video from that point on. Either I live around some of the craziest sandbaggers of all time or Erik is a 9.8
This statement actually says it all. a home course battle between a 5.3 and a 4.1 and the 4.1 always wins. play at some new courses- quite playing your course the exact same way every time.
This is awesome, man. Don't get too down on yourself. Hopefully the fact that we love watching these challenges make you feel a little better about it ;)
That shot with the ball coming out of the hole on 16 during the "pump up montage" was 🔥!
Erik, we are always rooting for you to have a triumph. We love you man!
I find it hilarious. I don't even play golf a lot really but want to learn. Just love your enthusiasm for the game and your vibe.
You were so relaxed and positive at the start! Keep going we know it will happen and the sense of fulfillment will make it all worthwhile.
honestly, don’t know much about golf but I stumbled upon this vid and couldn’t stop watchin’. the editing style is dope!
The vibes in your videos make me so happy brother!
Was looking for videos for my dad, came across your channel and this video edit is such a vibe! Definitely sending to pops!
I especially dig your breaking 90 videos ... it's really cool to see these holes from a different perspective than on TV.
Awesome video!! Put together very well, getting hyped to go out and play
What an amazing video. Put together really, really well Eric.
Nerves are a good sign, means you care and want to do good. Great video again. I know it’s hard for you during the round but we love these challenges. Hope you continue to do these! 👍
This videos are great. Keep up this break 90 challenges👍👍
I'm a huge fan of these videos. Please keep them coming.
Best videos on TH-cam hands down! Break 90 all the way!!
"Why do I play this game? I'm a clown" Same Erik, same
😂
Just goes to show how damn good the pros really are. Great video as always, Erik!
you are a brave man. Keep going we want you to do it. Thanks
Your videos haven’t been showing up in my recommended. So glad to see one of your videos again!!
keep pressing the like it will get them in your algorithm
krusher74 Do and have every time. Just went back and re liked a bunch of old ones. They are popping up like crazy now.
Best shooting and editing I've seen on a golf youtube channel
This series gets me so hyped to play
Dude these videos are becoming some of the most well produced in the industry.
My motto for the year "I have a strong feeling in my loins, I could shoot 89 today". I'm a newer golfer still trying to break 90.
I just broke 90 for the first time last week after picking up golf just a little over a year ago. Hopefully you've broken it, brother!!!
@@evancapecchi6721 Goal accomplished!
Amazing video. Looking forward to see you break 90 next time.
Love the reflective monologue at the end. Continue to be more than a score squire #KeepOnKeepingOn
I really love the intro and the way you explain your emotions in the video
Erik, you are SMOKING that driver right now! Swing is looking awesome as of late.
Eric, keep it up! You're gonna break 90 in one of these videos. And it's gonna be awesome. I'm still trying to break 90... anywhere. And I'm honestly not sure which will make me more excited -- when you get it done from the tips or when I get it done from the blue tees. Keep at it!!
I feel like you don’t love doing these videos, and I also don’t usually like to keep score, but seeing you challenge yourself and go through all of these emotions makes for some of my favorite videos of yours.
Keep these coming Erik!
love these videos. for the golf and the courses
Love the passion bro.... you set he bar very high to shoot 90 from the back.... we still love ya and will keep following
As him being a 4 handicap... he should be able to do it... even if the course rating was 80 (which it appears to only be 74) he should have been able to do it... but golf is like that, so I'm not knocking him or his skill
Nice quote from Zen Golf "to validate my self-worth" . Very true, sometimes it feels that way, just keep the bigger perspective, keep the mind open and take away the positives from the round. Cheers
fantastic, sums up medal play golf (a rollercoaster of emotions), cant believe we dont pay for this type of content, thanks EAL
That rant at 17:40 I have had that same conversation every round. But then I make one amazing shot and I'm hooked again.
Key moment "if you look forward to the short shots, that process, thats exciting"
Thats exactly how I feel grabbing the 60 out the bag 👌
The subtle +11 +12 glitch at 15:05...good touch love it
One of these days, Erik, one of these days. I believe in you!
So wild how tough it is, pros make it look so easy. Keep it up 👍
Heard a story about Jack Nicholson who walked on the course some years back and started playing. Greenskeeper caught up to him and said Mr. Nicholson this is a private course, Jack asked him how much it cost, the guy told him and Jack wrote him a check and told him ,now leave the members alone.Don't know if it's true, but sounds like classic Jack.
Loving the break 90 series. I'm on the 4th video, and just want to send positive vibes and say good luck!! I can barely break 90 from the whites, let alone from the tips!! Get it!!!
This series keeps it real.
Great content as always.
Great stuff EAL, enjoyed it
Love seeing that EVNROLL in the bag. More people should know about them. Keep up the great work.
Tough break man, you'll get it next time! Keep your head up.
Thanks for the fun commentary and filming was great :-).
Never played a course setup this tuff, wondering how hard it would be.
As the MJ said its about sort game.
I can imagine on that course you need to get close and chip close and putt well with those fast greens.
I would have possibly gone conservative on the drives to just be in good approaches with the wedges avoiding any danger even if that reduced any birds.
Would be interesting to see a ultra conservative game plan in action as against you power game.
Let go Erik.... you have the game...get out of your own way....
love your videos..
Keep these going. I am a 4 hc and I always tell myself I could do something like this. This reminds me I am actually not good at golf. I can beat most of my buddies but still not truely good.
Man, that was a roller coaster ride. Well played Eric. Next time!!
Thank you for the music. Just thank you.
Love your vids Erik. Keep up the good content. Your content helps me with ideas for my videos on my channel. Thanks
Didn’t realise you had done Renaissance, will need to watch that one right now! Glad you got it on a proper Scottish day
Great video. Like the approach. Played a two ball scramble this weekend @ Princes GC (next door to Royal St.Georges), given there was a 45mph wind gusting to 68mph with some rain it did not seem to make sense trying to “make a score”!
Thanks for the giggles! We have the same game. but I like bunkers,
The first big tee shot I ever took was a few weeks ago, Streamsong blue... caddies watching you, starters.. the tee time behind you. Never felt so much pressure. Luckily I hit my drive pretty far and didn't top it 40 feet. Like these vids because we can all relate.
Love watching these vids. I played Le Golf National 3 weeks before the French open last year. Played one of the best rounds I’ve ever played and shot 85 (11 hcp). Granted we had to play off the white tee’s, we weren’t allowed to play from the black 🤷♂️
well done ! loved the video
