Welcome BACK to the latest installment of the Breaking series, where we put golfers of varying handicaps up against Major Championship courses from the same tees as the pros. Today, we’re at Pinehurst #2, the three-time (soon to be four) host of the U.S. Open.
Chris Triplett is an 8 handicap out of Detroit, MI – he’s attempting to break 90
Liz Breed is a scratch golfer out of Brooklyn, NY – she’s attempting to break 80
Mark Stagmeier is an 18.8 handicap (wildly specific) – he’s attempting to break 90
Pinehurst was designed by Donald Ross (designer of Aronimink GC, Seminole GC, Oak Hill GC, etc.) and opened in 1907. Pinehurst is home to some of the greatest moments in U.S. Open History; notably, Payne Stewart’s par save to win the 1999 U.S. Open over Phil Mickelson.
Follow along this four-part series to find out who breaks Pinehurst… and who gets broken.

Will bet my life Liz and cousin won’t break their score
Gotta do breaking Oakland Hills Country Club South
That was 100% Riggs at 23:58 slamming on the brakes lol! Love this series and can’t wait to watch the rest of the holes
I needed this rn, can’t wait for the next ep
YES YES YES YES YES. This is my favorite thing on YouTube.
"It Will Be Very Good For You, And Most Amusing For Me."
this Gandalf quote pretty much summed up my Golf game for the first year and a half when i started playing!
also Love the Content RGC always puts out! 100% one of my favorite channels on youtube!
I've played Barton Hills and it's crazy to see how even working with different elevation, grass, soil, etc. Ross uses so many signature characteristics in his courses. You can always tell when you're playing a Donald Ross course.
LETS GOOOO LIZ, BROOKLYN GREENS IS ROOTING HARD FOR YOU!
My Monday has turned for the better! Love this series. Props to Liz for playing the back tees, what a warrior. Hope to be on this series soon! Fingers crossed.
yessssssss another breaking series with fans
I love how one caddy is saying he's here to make you feel good about your shots, meanwhile Liz's caddy is shit talking her haha.
"Fly you fools" – Gandalf. Also me talking to my golf balls.
Erik, I need that Swing Free Sherpa in a Medium!! How can we make this happen?
couldn’t be happier to see this in my subs box
This is honestly the best series out of all TV/streaming services IMO and probably many others as well, I get excited every time I see a new one come out! It’s amazing to see the progression of your channel, not surprisingly though you put in a lot of work well done EAL and team!!
Great timing, I played the No. 2 course just two weeks ago. One of the best golf experiences I’ve ever had.
YESSSSS, we're back!!!! I remember recording a video for this haha
Mark coming out with a bogey on one, while Chris and Liz got a double and a triple is the most golf thing I’ve ever seen.
that outro was siiiiiiick
all world Bogey by Mark on the 1st
amazing people/golfers…. not the best at picking the best shot tracer colors 😂
Wow I just got into this series a few days ago and have watched all episodes. Cant believe a new one just dropped, keep em coming!
You always find a great group of golfers for this series. Liz compresses the ball so nice…I'm jealous.
very nice
"…and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
My favorite Gandalf quote (and its gotta be Grey). Pretty much is how I hope to approach golf, life, and anything in between… and there is nothing better than starting a week with a new breaking series!
Glad to have seen so many golfers from southeast michigan in the breaking series! shoutout detroit baby
Gandalf the Grey – “It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.”
Any reason for mis-counting Chris' strokes on 3? Stroke and distance means he was hitting 4 from the pine straw, not 3
Look good, feel good, twirl every shot. Just having a good old time.
as a 13 hcp I would say 110 is a good score
FUCK YES!
Chris personality is everything!!
By far my favorite series currently, and nothing beats the smooth buttery commentary we have been gifted! 😀 Maybe someday Ill be courageous enough to apply to be on this…
Chris is stepping in lines left and right!! Cmon Chris..
I'm so excited that you're doing another series. Please can you do one in South Africa, and I'll be a participant, so you need only 2-3 more players. Please please please!!!
Sun City or Arrabella, your choice. 😁😁😁
oh I love it!
This is the BEST and most relatable golf series ever created!
It’s Chris for me 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Being a caddy is still an occupation choice? I mean other than being a caddy on a tour.
I love this series.
Going this weekend and playing the cradle on Friday I’m so hyped
This is awesome! How does one get considered for this series?
Haha that was forsure the barstool crew !!
Liz has got a great swing.
I cannot believe the amount of excitement and jealousy that occurs while watching this video. To know that anyone and everyone can be a part of these videos is both the most life changing and hugely saddening (when not selected) thing in the world. Congratulations to living out your fantasy at a golf mecca. Holding my breath until holes 5-9.
They're already chirping the group about pace of play after 1 hole? get real
Liz you have a really nice swing, so smooth! 🧈
"Liz is the front runner here at +7, she only has 12 shots to play with though over the next 14 holes in order to break 80" …. Im confused
been waiting for this one!
Where do you guys get your music? Love the lofi on the course.
