No way Chris has ever broke 90 in general
I'm hooked on this channel.
Really?!?! 7th shot on a par 4 and we’re still twirling the club? Knock it off.
Golf etiquette people. Maybe on that 14th hole you guys were being pressed by the group behind? In my 30 years of playing I can't remember walking to the next tee while another person in the group wasn't finished putting. Watching Marc putt on 14 and in the background the two other players were walking away with their back turned before he even putted rubs me the wrong way.
Always wanted to play this course some day. After this series…. Idk anymore LOL
Chris is more like a 14 handicap. Why are people so desperate for a lower handicap, count your strokes, get better and it is what it is.
Your commentary is absolutely fantastic. I was rolling!
Liz had a legit shot if more of those 4 footers dropped for her. The distance of the course had nothing to do with her coming up short of breaking 80, which is insane. Feel like she could have done it with a practice round to figure out the greens.
Athlete. She’d beat me by 10 on my best day 🇨🇦
Seeing a club twirl followed by "I didn't see where that went" is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen.
Would love to play with Liz. She seems awesome. Still rewatch My Last Round of Golf from last year if I’m feeling down about my game.
13 is not 232 yards from the US Open Tees
Ive been watching the channel from time to time- but as an average high handicap golfer- I LOVE this series! I do hope there are more to come. I’ve only seen this and Sawgrass. But it is confidence building to see that I’m not the only one who enjoys the game but has my good days and days. Greatest thing on YouTube for Golf entertainment.
This series should be called Breaking Morale.
After watching this I feel pretty good about my game.
14 holes in and I am convinced…I need a 7 wood
I wish Erik was my best friend. Everyone needs a friend like Erik.
Club twirl Chris plays off an 8, Rigs plays off a 3, I must play off a -5.
Anyone else wonder how much weed Erik is smoking while commentating these? 🎵 Turn around every now and then I get… 🎵
Chris looks closer to a 15 marker to me…nothing to do with the course but his swing and distance control is not at an A grade standard
What are the costs for the players to play at these courses ??
I still think the cup should be at least a quarter inch larger. The cup has stayed the same size since 1829 and balls have gotten slightly larger.
