- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- We are back second half of this special edition of the break 90 challenge. After a difficult front 9, EAL is looking to salvage these next 9 holes. With narrow fairways, and fast, rectilinear greens, Erik is up against PGA tournament conditions from the tips.
Brian Baumgartner, popularly known as “Kevin from the Office,” is also commentating on EAL’s attempt to break 90. The championship course, the “West” course, has hosted five US Opens, the sixth being this year, and one PGA Championship.
Tune in for the back 9 of Break 90 at Winged Foot, commentated by Brian Baumgartner.

Just here to remind everyone that purple shirt is out $2200 dollars with the top 20 all under par. That is all.
🤣
It's only Thursday
That guy came across a little Bruce Jenner(ish).
pops will organise the payout, still rocking

Quick tip: dont put red lines on the thumbnail, makes it look like it is already watched
Amen
This.
Proud of you Eric. Rather play with you than the stuffed shirts at the end.
& there my friends is the reason why golf has declined so much over the years, courses are full of arseholes like the above
I think they were ok, just the guy in the purple shirt with that silly comment.
@@yoowan3437 Its the subtle cues that are the killer. 'well its cheaper that way'. 'ive got x$bets on' #passiveagressive
“The greens aren’t fast right now, this is how we normally play it.” Ok guy
NationVenomous I couldn’t catch what he said. He talked over Eric
The members on 18 are exactly what Random Golf Club seeks to avoid
Daniel Evans random golf club is open to all thou...
Big gamblers?
Just the absolute worst
Vig C No. Just rich upity assholes
Trying to flex on the world "These greens aren't fast right now" barf
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.
You showed true class when you talked to those members, I’d rather T it up with AEL then members any day! Keep it up with what golf should b about.
Those Winged Foot members are literally everything that I hate about golf.
Cringe
True. Makes it so hard for people to want to play for the first time.
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.
Everything I love about golf
@@kalebzehr6850 ok, have fun with those 6 hour muni rounds.
BOY those members just defined “entitled douchebag.”
Holy crap they were a bunch of douche canoes!
Weird, they seem fine to me, joking around and engaging. The guy playing seems like a total douchebag.
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!
Brian’s actually good at commentating. Good voice for it
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.
I would imagine none care at all.
They said “good luck in Austin” at the end, pretty sure they know who he is...they’re just rich af and think they’re better than him
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.
Those members at the end, just ugh.
Seriously, jackwads
Agreed
@@brady952 Well said
@@brady952 don't be a member there, simple. A great course will be destroyed by its member mentality
I think they were ok, just the guy in the purple shirt with the membership comment. They all still told him to go low and enjoy!
Absolutely loved Brian narrating the round. Found it much easier to stick around with him guiding our journey.
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.
Underrated comment 👍 😂
Well said and so true….
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.
That member at the end, the membership isn’t for you guy, the iamverybadassguy, good grief.
The 3 guys @ 30:43 are what I hate about golf
Fucking same.
Don’t see much of that on public links. Rustic Canyon forever!
completely agreed, total douchey vibes lol
I'm having a wonderful time going through the comment section liking all the comments about the members at the end :)
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
Love this series and loved Brian's commentary
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.
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?
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
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.
Love the members who come over and act super casual as if they play these conditions all the time lol... would bet all my moneys they can't break 90
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!
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.
Thank you Erik for putting sequence with those guys in at the end. Their attitude speaks volumes.
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!
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
20:33 story of my life, hook all day and then the hole that fits his shot shape... he goes right
92 is pretty darn respectable, especially considering where he was leaving himself off the tee.
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.
im sitting here so happy after day one of the US Open with JT 5 under par rewatching the member say he has $2200 worth of bets that nobody breaks par
I must say: I really like the moustache. It fits. Let’s hope it stays for a bit.
I think he'll keep it. It's really grown on him.
Now you have a brown one to match! LOLZ
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
Loved Brian’s commentary!! Great voice for it and didn’t do too much.
Your philosophy on golf and life is awesome dude. Enjoyed this video like I enjoy all of them. Great work.
Thank you Eric for bringing us Wing Foot in such a way that an every-day-golfer can really grasp the concept of a US prepared venue.
Love Brian’s commentary and the content!
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!
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 don’t think membership is for you.”
Wow arrogant much buddy?
The one thing I hate about golf is the arrogant rich people you come into contact with.
Will A i bet those guys who said he isn’t member worthy don’t break 100
Funny thing is that’s he’s doing more to promote a membership/ (the game most importantly) than those pretentious moneybags are
Douche bags!!!!
peak boomer mentality. would have a very small peni$
Why does Brian sound like he was destined to be a golf commentator? This episode was brilliant
Great to have Brian do the commentary! The course played tough and EAL did better than most would.
Great content as always. But tbh, I prefer EAL doing the voiceovers.
Thanks Eric...love your videos. Makes me enjoy golf!
Listening to Brian commentate watching the coolest guy in golf is a pretty good way to spend a hour
Purple shirt needs to be humbled
Purple shirt guy is just angry at the world cuz he ended up with a set of “moobs”.
Bruce Jenner?
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
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.
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!
I dont know how much it costs to have Brian narrate these things but it's fantastic
some of the best golf content on youtube
love these can we beat 90s dont ever stop best golf show out there
That was way much more than random golf club films !! GG on your work bud ! really enjoyed the watch, keep it up
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!!! 😁😁
great video, and you played very well. My brother plays it every year with a group of friends, and they love it
Pricks at the end are the type that give golfers a bad name everywhere. Nice round Eric.
congrats Erik.....not many non-pros could do much better. great edition
I’d love some heckler outtakes. Awesome vid!!! EAL the people’s champ, just couldn’t keep the big dog in check.
Eric is single handedly making golf a cooler sport.
Love this with the excellent commentating from Brian!
Loved this format. What a fun way to mix it up.
“...and somewhat fit in...” *giggle* 😂😂😂
Quality content made even better by the sight of Jermaine, one of the best caddies ever.
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.
Brutal set up and will be a great test for the tour pros as well. Looking forward to it.
man do some match play or something with Brian. what a gem. nailed that announcing gig
What a perfect ending to emphasis what you are trying to do with RGC. I mean those "members"...that's the best publicity you could have ask for.
Great addition adding Brian for commentary! He needs to be involved more. Super knowledgeable and insightful.
The most brutal rough I've ever seen since playing in late fall at Crosswater in Bend OR
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.
Great job Erik. That is how I play on easy courses.
Just watching this was raising my stress levels. Not just playing out of the thick stuff, but potentially losing balls in play in the thick stuff
Amazing video & learning experience - Thank you Eric!
Brian’s commentary is top notch!
Killed it EAL. I would’ve been bawling by the turn.
As someone who’s worked at a swanky golf club like this, not all members are like that. There’s more cool people there then there is people like that.
That rough is THICK!! Someone strong will win this weekend! 💪💪
Or someone who drives the ball accurately? lol
A C so your saying not Dj 😂
@@AC-dp4jk Par 70 over 7400 yds? You need to be long and straight
@@leglessone Like Ogilvie
This is my favourite series on TH-cam! It would be awesome if you could play Augusta National before the Masters.
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 ;-)
The commentary has been so good for these past two videos.
Living the golfer's dream👍
Great effort Erik! I’ll be amazed if anyone goes under par all weekend.
5:03 ”If you haven't ordered your salad yet, get
to the back of the line because I'm ordering seconds.” 🤣🤣🤣
Subscribed content 👍
These break 90s are amazing
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.
Those dudes at the end make me appreciate my local public courses. Don’t want to run into any jerks like them. Great effort, Eric.
Such fun and NBC needs to hire Brian
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!
Ah no way part two is out today already? That is a delightful surprise.
Always rooting for you on these vids man!
EAL is the peoples champion! You will never change my mind
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
Purple polo shirt is the epitome of everything that's wrong with the sport of golf.
...and the world today.
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.
Dan Lewis yea, that’s it.
@@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".
@@arthurford829 I never would have guessed the guy in purple would actually comment..... 🤣
I called a “hard fought 92” on Instagram the other day... I need to call my bookie 😂
Love the videos, love the channel, still a great round, I'd love that score. I do also love playing for score, too, though. As long as my attitude is right. Great stuff, thanks!
Great video. If you played it 10 more times, I bet you'd break 90 6 or 7 times. It wasn't the course that beat you, it was your drives. It would be one thing if you just missed them, but you missed them by a mile. You can drive better than that, but maybe the pressure and, of course, no driving range.....tough. Very, very cool to play WF, but even cooler to hang with Jermaine. That guy is the man!
