I heard 41% of golfers love this place.

Yay, glad you got Iona to narrate the video. She's such a great golf ambassador.

​@chadchadderton We hate DEI, you hysterical liar.

[@dahoop5933]

I've walked the course & stood on the postage stamp tee, never played it though. One of the great Scottish quirks, is that you can freely walk your dog along & onto these famous links. Might not be able to afford to play it, but can still enjoy it.

[@aidensanders6519]

“It may take a lifetime to learn this golf courses infinite complexities” but it only took Henrik Stenson 72 holes. Great video, excited to have the Open back at Troon.

[@jacobkiehl9185]

Usually there isn't much said about Troon being at the top of the Rota but after this video it's definitely opened my eyes to how astoundingly awesome this course is. I especially enjoyed the three acts of the course and that came through clearly. Keep these coming for the top classic courses---they really are amazing. I'd love to see Fishers Island, Chicago Golf, Royal County Down, Royal Dornoch, Merion, Olympic, Royal Melbourne, Shinnecock Hills

[@pampoovey3281]

yea I wonder what one of those single wides go for there on the 9th.

[@kyleborgman9747]

Keep getting Iona to narrate your videos!

[@gwilson314]

Honestly I could barely understand her.

Please don't, had to mute it immediately

[@retrospective77]

Agreed, she's fantastic. Don't listen to the incels above ^.

[@ericknopik2852]

As with any Open Championship, it’s always more entertaining the more the wind blows. This is especially true at Royal Troon, because the back nine there can be brutal if there’s a 20-30 mile an hour wind in your face on that back 9.

[@MrGag962u]

[@EricRamsey]

Wonderfully done, Iona.

[@michaelkim9640]

I'm sorry, how did Mickelson and Stenson shoot 17- and 20-under par on this course? The 3rd best player only shot 6-under. Just goes to show you how amazing that duel was back in 2016

[@youMatterItDoesGetBetter]

Legendary.

[@101wildgoose]

Nicklaus sent Stenson a hand written letter to say it was as good a display of golf as he's ever seen.

[@SiLoMixMaster]

The weather change had a massive part to play that year

[@GolfandWork]

2 things. I can't get enough of Iona. She's so charismatic! Plus, I'm now really amped to watch. I'm hoping for a huge variety of conditiions.

[@KlueLuke]

The 2016 open was my favorite recent one, I hope we get another like that one

[@gregoryedwards8781]

These are just amazing

[@lkae4]

Breathtaking visuals. The birds seem like spirits, not creatures of this world.

[@jez443]

Bucket list golf course. What a beautiful place.

[@marklee2748]

Very well done Iona. Can’t wait to watch The Open Championship next week.

[@OutdoorsSouthOz]

Sensational description of an amazing golf course! Narration invites all to challenge the legendary Royal Troon.

[@camlancaster]

I would LOVE to see a heavyweight match coming down the stretch like Phil and Stenson had last time. Some of the best Sunday golf of all time.

[@maitaimik]

Beautiful exposé of a daunting challenge, nicely narrated.

[@jackhodge244]

Sweet overview! Love the narrator!

[@philskerman8108]

Favourite videos on KZbin. Thank you

[@jakeheerwagen8007]

I've always loved a short par 3. Just a underrated type of hole in a major

[@prestonbacchus4204]

That was sweet. Thanks.^

[@kamborichardson1909]

My favourite major of the year. Excited. Troon looks even more devastating this year.

[@markpeterson3220]

Wow what a course - 7-11 look incredibly interesting, plus the par 4 Burmah on the back 9 with its deep cavities and unpredictable surfaces.

[@101wildgoose]

Palmer said the 11th was the hardest hole in championship golf.

[@ZHAOJINXIAN]

No doubt should be Iona!

[@anthonyalongi3432]

More of this please!

[@frankmcnally01]

The most difficult course I have ever played in all my years

[@gwilson314]

[@Jwtexan2386]

More “every hole at” videos should talk about Greg Norman’s failures. Since they happened all over the world after all.

[@BGID7]

Not a big LIV fan eh?

[@fenixrising75]

Can you name a few, if they are so numerous?

[@SiLoMixMaster]

You must be confusing Greg Norman for Rory McIlroy, but that's ok, one of them was the #1 golfer in the world for 331 weeks and won 88 tournaments, the other is Rory McIlroy.

[@kopite998]

Best course on the rota after Portrush

[@g_nw]

Iona is the best

[@CheatinJerry]

Marvellous. What a course. Love the video and love hearing Iona's narration.

[@florancerudi]

What a golf course it's like I'm watching Gordon lightfoot's Edmund Fitzgerald..... I'm an eight handicap. This would be a treat to tackle this track.

[@shakeyfly]

Turned up the volume for Iona.

The biggest weapon links courses have isnt their design. Its the weather.

[@maitaimik]

If the weather isnt perfect, expect a tounament score in single digits under par.

[@101wildgoose]

The weather forecast is for rain and wind. This course will destroy most of the field.

[@MrJdebest]

I like my courses to have tree lined fairways. Fewer stray golf balls to take you out !

[@DanMasey]

What an irrelevant comment 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@maitaimik]

Americans in general like their golf courses to be benign, manicured country gardens, bereft of character and the elements like wind or punishing topography. Only Pebble Beach comes close to the awesome challenges of true links golf.

[@MrJdebest]

@@maitaimik Not American. And beautiful courses carved in the forest are hardly benign, your English links courses look like wasteland. Without the wind and dried greens, not much to your golf courses.

[@michaelbardeleben4519]

Her love of golf is impressive…but she talks too much. This video would have been better if there was no commemtry just a few labels and word comments for each hole like the USGA does. She sounds as though these courses are the best in the world and only a very few select exclusive people can play them and then there are the pros …this off limits world where us mere mortals revere these golfing icons as gods. Really!!??? Let me reassure every one of you…i have traveled the world and i can promise you an irrefutable even immutable fact of truth….there are golf courses out there that are way way better than these British Open chamoiomship rota classsic links courses. Go to California and New Zealand for a start.

Nobody is reading all that, but I'm happy for you. Or sad, depending on what it says.
