    Documentary filmmaker Erik Anders Lang takes viewers on a tour around the globe searching for the craziest, most intriguing stories in golf. In the first episode, Erik visits Scotland and the home of golf, the Old Course at St. Andrews. The journey includes a search for Old Tom Morris, a bagpipe lesson from a Fife local and several surprising twists in the quest to secure an elusive tee time on the oldest course in the world. Of course, not everything goes according to plan during this trip to St. Andrews, and resourcefulness proves critical to a successful journey.

    GOlf Academy of America “03” and 15 years working on the grounds of California’s coastal courses, including Pebble Beach. I’ve seen and heard some cool stuff. These videos by Scratch are some of the best shows I’ve seen yet. Keep it up boys. Look forward to the next one.
    Try Monterey Pines GC in Monterey. Best short course in Cali.

      If the wind blows you’ll struggle to break 90. It can be a very hostile environment.
      If there’s no wind, you’ll be disappointed with level par.

    St Andrews might be the 'Home' of the Open but the Championship wiz born in Prestwick Ayrshire over jist 12 holes and has the only existing hole in Championship golf that has an unsighted green called ' Himalaya ' that's a par 3 and your fairways are just 20 yds wide with the first cut 6 inches deep and your 2nd cut..... deeeeep it's also a links course and Royal Troon is the next course north, I think the Laws and the Rules were finally established at St Andrews giving them the Royal Charter but the players call Prestwick " Auld Prestwick" a ken that cos' when a wiz wee boy we played at the burgh coup at the far end of the course near the 'Pow burn'

See the hotel well from the 18th the bottom part right side is where I had a full Scottish breakfast och there is nothing like it and above it 2nd floor was my room tea coffee trooser press shower was weird but great time . On 18th before burn on right there is a bunker named MILLER'S BUNKER because he could not get out. I too found that but got out first time cleared burn and was 10 foot from pin . If I could play that again I would. Paul in uk.

  • @stevenchampion8137
    @stevenchampion8137 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    That was Young Tom Morris’ memorial you were at. Whilst father and son are buried in close proximity it’d be nice if you’d have gotten that right as some may misconstrue your sentiments as a bit half baked.
    Out of curiosity, why would you even contemplate sarcasm at a grave?
    Also, I think you needed to be at Musselburgh to be at the oldest of courses. Well worth a go.
    Still, I hope you had a really good time.

  • @aloefgren
    @aloefgren 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Funny how this episode is about Tom Morris giving "ordinary" people the chance to play golf, yet in the comments i mostly see butt hurt old guys from england who complains about Eriks clothing, behaviour or anything he says and calling him an "annoying tourist" etc. Way to go lol.
