Those members... The WORST. Thank you EAL for showing that piece. Makes me appreciate your spirit even more bro. Hell of a showing on an insane course.
This is why I left the club I was at. I loved the course, but just couldn't get over the way the other members acted. I have more fun with 3 randos at the local muni anyway.
Those guy at the end did a real disservice to their club...what a poor way to represent a membership. I want to appreciate the course and it's members...those guys tainted the place with just a few comments.
Before i finish watching the end of this video, I'd just like to truly thank you Erik! I was obviously excited about the Open tomorrow and this just gave me the fix I was craving so that I can have a decent nights sleep! Regarding the so called "haters" who are negative about your score, jealously is a horrible trait, but that is their burden to bear. Please continue to make awesome content, I'm sure many of us can agree we enjoy cheering you on & the true perspective you display about golf. Again, THANK YOU! You make golf seem like more than just a sport. Its a million things in one. All equally beautiful & brilliant, yet it has access to emotions of anger and doubt that is unfathemable when in such a peaceful setting. Its why we love the game, it keeps us present, thats a gift.
Here in Scotland, a “member” is commonly used to refer to a particular part of the male anatomy. Those gentlemen at the end were most definitely members.
Dude, no one mentioning how awesome it is to watch EAL smoke himself on beautiful golf courses while Kevin from The Office commentates?! How great is this channel?
If you listen carefully one of the stiffs comments that even Erik should realize he is not member material. Maybe because he clearly hasn’t stiffed enough lately.
@@blancaroca8786 I heard it. Personally I took it more in the context of talking about the course. That he wouldn't like playing there all the time since he struggled so hard.
implying Erik isn’t a good enough player whereas they are? Do you buy into that? You think those stiffs play better than Erik and have more potential as golfer? And that is what is needed to be a member there? It is all contradictory waffle!
First rule of Random Golf Club: Don't talk with club members about Random Golf Club, some just won't understand. I love the videos, keep cutting down the rough for the rest of us!
Good effort, Erik. It was fun to watch. The member at the end that said “membership isn’t for you” is the exact type of guy I NEVER want paired up with.
EAL: “RGC is to show new golfers how golf can be fun” Member guy: “yeah well it’s usually a lot harder and faster greens, and you wouldn’t fit in as a member” Dude did not pass the RGC vibe check and definitely does not abide by 17b
Not at all, I cringed at how condescending those chode sandwiches were to EAL. I'm so glad they kept it in too, it shows exactly the people who are holding golf back vs who is trying to make it more inclusive.
Imagine the faces on those jamokes at 18 when they find out later that this guy is sponsored by TaylorMade and plays with the worlds best.. Ahh little do they know.
This was awesome! Seeing the course beforehand from a non-PGA pro was crazy. Helps put the course into perspective for everyone that will watch the Open
Like watching a boxing match that went 12 rounds, hard fought to the end man and seriously amazed by the effort to get around the place. As for the elephant in the room, I think EAL and the RGC team put in the interaction with the members to show those newer to the game that yes you most likely will come across the stereotypical pompous arrogant wealthy guy on the course at some point. Just follow that example and kill them with kindness. As the conversation progressed from that point, it seemed as if they came around a bit and gave some support so with those guys it is always take what you can get. Proud of the effort man and 17b on!
Membership! Enough said! Erik did well to restrain himself. I actually really got a feel for the course because of this excellent special, much better than conventional media. I could almost smell the rough! Brilliant, thank you.
I know everyone has said it and I know you thought it Erik, but those members, specifically purple top, absolute bellends. You played very well, can’t wait for the next one!
There are a few things that I have taken from these two videos. 1, I have no doubt Eric could have broken 90 if he had of used his 3 or 5 wood off the tee more often. 2, score does matter. And don’t for one second tell me that Eric is not a competitive individual. 3, don’t let your ego decide what club you use Eric. Great course and great video. One last thing. You 4 putted the 9th.
It is no joke how hard these courses are, especially mentally. I played Royal Lytham & St Annes a few years ago when I was still playing single-digit golf, and I put up 92. That wasn’t even from the tips, and the course wasn’t set up for The Open, but god almighty it was an exhausting round nonetheless. Still super fun though, and watching this guy take on Winged Foot is bringing back a lot of those great memories. Thanks for the videos!
Haven't watched this, but saw pt1 yesterday, and I wanted to thank you guys for posting this on US Open eve.....this is the best course overview I've ever seen.
Thanks for giving us unprecedented insight to this course just before the US Open. In a classic tale, Erik hooked when he needed it straight and cut when he needed the draw. a little session on the range can straighten that driver out. Yeah, classic CC members at the end, would love to see their round, hitting from the senior boxes probably cuts the course down by 1500 yards and they'd still blast over 90. nice video, thanks! Finally subbed
be proud of your content and your golf game. feel like youre so pressured to convince us its good when youre frustrated. love this series and love all your videos
I no longer play for par. That’s a great great comment. Playing since 1969, I now play for bogey. All the pressure is off, and I play well. Good job guys. Thanks
Is it terrible that I enjoy the videos when you don’t break 90? Makes me realize I’m not alone in this world. Loved the videos Erik, thank you for taking us on your journey. See you in Texas!
That's not an option. People like that will literally never accept that they're not as good at something as they think/tell people they are. It'd be the course/weather/planet alignment why they didn't succeed lol
I unintentionally practice those shots out of the rough you spoke of at 6:03. As in, I typically hit into the rough, pin is in the dead center of the green, and I miss it to the right 60% of the time. Texas State Volleyball scramble tourney in New Braunfels in April/May 2021, see you there.
Great video. Thanks for a preview. Comments seem to be flowing about homie at the end and I think YT has a point. IMO if this guy is a friend/golf buddy then there can be room to jokingly “shit” on another friend but it usually wouldn’t be in the context of money. Instead we have a random stranger talking shit about money in front of your cameras, what a class act.
Well done Erik.... you didnt have your best game but made a great effort on an unbelievably difficult course... great content ... love the break 90 series.... bring on Augusta National!!! 😁😁
Well played Eric. Brutal, brutal course. But having seen the scores from the 1st round, gettable for the very best. Can you imagine how difficult it would be in the wind? Eric - if you're ever in Sheffield, Yorkshire - come to Dore & Totley; challenge you to break 80 off the tombstones! 10p says you can't ;-)
Brian hit on a point that actually created a rule when I play golf. I use the "spectator rule". If I hit a ball in the rough just off the fairway or in some trees just off the fairway and I can't find it, but it would be found by 1k + spectators, I drop in the area I think it would be and play with no penalty. Now this has limits, you can't pull hook one over apartments and say well spectators would have found it. Cool rule for me when I hit one that wasn't that bad, but I just can't locate it under a leaf or in some tall grass.
I’d love to see the next session with @DanaDahlquistGolf cover the two-way miss off of the tee. I feel like it is challenging to get timing right of lower body / arms right with limited / no practice before round. I don’t imagine the 3 or 5 wood off of tee would have yielded many more fairways with that issue. I love all of the videos! That and buying some Vice Golf Balls ;) inspired me to get back on the course after a decade off. Donnacha
Dude that 5 iron on 10 was ripped. File that one in the memory bank! Also that tee you literally are the first person to take a divot on that pristine tee box which makes it even more epic.
Good effort, despite the length of the Winged Foot I'm not convinced driver off of the tee is the best option. Hitting a three wood 250 ish and giving yourself a look at the green is better then pulling a driver 230 with no chance of hitting the green.
Erik these videos are awesome. I've got an 8.7 index and the game has been touch and go this year. These videos inspired me to go out and play my home course from the tips, 7002 yards and 133 slope and I shot an 85. It was one of the most enjoyable rounds of just enjoying the process and playing each shot as it comes. Never played from the tips and it was a blast. Thanks for the inspiration and keep doing you.
fun video. great course; sadistic. reminds me of oakmont. i think eric would have done it if he'd been at the range and been practicing in the weeks leading up to this. thanks for doing this!
Actually, your comment is what's wrong as you clearly don't understand the context and that he jokingly said that in response to EAL's "I love this place" comment.
@@arthurford829 If you can't tell that he was joking based on the context, the body language, the sarcasm and the laughing, that's pretty sad. You rush to judge people when you don't understand the man was joking - you're the problem. Here's a clue - the purple shirt guy said the course superintendent "hates golfers". Why do you think that is? Clear sarcasm when EAL says "I love this place".
Just here to remind everyone that purple shirt is out $2200 dollars with the top 20 all under par. That is all.

Funny thing is that’s he’s doing more to promote a membership/ (the game most importantly) than those pretentious moneybags are
Douche bags!!!!

Loved Brian’s commentary!! Great voice for it and didn’t do too much.
I was yelling at my screen "put the driver away"😂😂
LoL. Need Eric to develop his 'lay up, fairway finder' shot. I bet he could have taken 10 strokes off this round just by not using driver.
Well...maybe not 10 strokes...LoL....but I feel 5-6 shots could've been gained by leaving the driver in the bag.
Chris Pearce he could have broken 90 that’s for sure. :P
92 is pretty darn respectable, especially considering where he was leaving himself off the tee.
