NLU Film Room: D.J. vs KVV at Omni Homestead Resort Cascades Course

[@jacobmedley1415]

The ending to this video might be my favorite. We need more of these!

[@albertsquiers4122]

The ending is so good!

[@jacobmedley1415]

@@albertsquiers4122 top notch quality… every time!

[@braces18]

The self deprecation monologue at the conclusion was the best piece of prose I have heard in a long time. The image of a Guerrilla tuning a Stradivarius will live long in the memory. Fine work boys.

[@PKClauSD]

KVV’s loss was the viewers’ gain. Pure poetry.

[@teerex8488]

Worked at the Cascades for a summer in ‘98. Really enjoyed watching you guys go around. Brought back many memories.

[@spellingchampeon]

Couldn't wipe the smile on my face during Kev's reading of his piece. Just so good.

[@jelliott5241]

This match warmed my heart. The two nicest guys out of the entire NLU crew.

[@jdstan9650]

The handicap variance for DJ is astounding...he can be everything from 5-25 depending on the hole.

[@ArmyGolfBC]

The monologue at the end is everything. Well done gentlemen!

[@jerrypk1188]

Not gonna lie, I was pulling for DJ just to hear what KVV would write. Definitely did not disappoint. Thanks guys. Great content as usual.

[@cgoodson1438]

Thanks for showing us around a great old course! Cameras don't often bring out anyone's best golf but you both got to play a legend.

[@thehitman86]

Big J “Journalism” in the format we never knew it needed.

[@archstanton52]

These Film Rooms have been great and a perfect set up for that planned pod on vanity handicaps.

[@shaneroberts440]

DJ playing #3 like a 25hcp had me dying, then telling KVV to keep the peddle down broke me🤣💀💀

[@ericschulze5854]

Wonderful touch to end the film room. Had me a sazerac while listening to the sultry sounds of KVV. Who knew he’d give Sam Elliott a run for his money 😂

[@CR-wf7po]

PURE Genuis from KVV - Unreal voice over/ending.... Loved it

[@HunterRoach-d8b]

KVV : playing golf :: MJ : playing baseball Goodness you both are so great at the other thing! Very thankful to have KVV in the fold as Editorial Director. Love your work

[@brendanulrich6649]

Great match, truly remarkable words! Love what you guys bring to game…every time! My thanks to you.

[@toddjohnson2782]

Epic ending to some scrappy golf 😉 GREAT video as always! Don’t ever stop producing this heartwarming content.

[@ag_mo]

Was quite looking forward to the content from this match... the discourse and closing monologue were everything I'd hoped for and more. Great work as always; keep it up, gentlemen!

[@jacobkarpowicz2253]

Absolute drive by on my beloved Madison golf course

[@VDEP2727]

The Old Course down the street is where I fell in love with the game. There is something extremely special in the water in Hot Springs. If you play anywhere in Va, make it there 💯💯 Fantastic video that brought back a ton of great memories

[@meathaus58]

"kind of like the way a Grateful Dead song fills you with warmth and wonder just as youre suspecting youre about to be bored to death" Fantastic.

[@mr.williams8336]

The end is absolutely gold. Well done kvv.

[@arthurcharest9061]

KVV's chip out of and then back into the bunker on 13 was the most relatable clip i've seen. Loved the reaction lol

[@aaronfinney1740]

Per usual this is incredibly well done.

[@robquinn9]

So. Good. KVV - incredible recap at the end. Brilliant!

[@schuschu52]

this was an awesome series of film rooms but this one was the best for sure. love me some KVV

[@SeidinhoDE]

Ball striking display!

[@DavisGuy]

Great outro you guys. Love your stuff. I stayed and played there many moons ago. If you go there, make sure that you eat at Sam Snead's Tavern (I hope it's still there. Great food, filled with golfers, and features a display showing all of Sam's 51 hole-in-one balls. Ask for room 1901 if you want awesome views from the near top of the hotel.

[@thomasrohrbaugh3625]

Great content as always! Played the course over labor day. Wettest greens I've ever seen even though they were clearly in a droughty. Ball was nearly plugging but greens were smooth and fast. Won't go back unless I hear the conditioning has improved. A real shame as the course would be spectacular firm.

[@lukeovermeyer2962]

Played The Cascades for the first time this past Saturday. It was in great shape and played firm and fast. The course was a real brute from the blue tees, but a great test that I enjoyed. I’m looking forward to our return trip to The Homestead to play this course again.

[@masonmorris1782]

Just fantastic as always. Kvv is a gem

[@mattg_media]

You guys obviously put a lot of effort in getting the shot tracker right and I appreciate it!

[@chadvanbuuren7413]

I hope we got a film room with Ben coming! Hell of a gamestory KVV!

[@BubbaS74]

KVV channeling Wright Thompson in that epilogue. Absolutely glorious!

[@cdon888]

Love the reference back to Peoria. Need to go back and play a few more. There are a few other really good ones to play

[@jmac6069]

The vibes are immaculate

[@GlennCox-dx4ud]

Wow…I could listen to KVV all day. Greatness!

[@Imunique2me]

Fabulous thanks for sharing and what poem at the end :-)

[@Matt61268]

Such a relatable opening shot

[@echambers1112]

Good god, the narration of the Dan Jenkins gamer was gold.

[@jacklewis5308]

I had to Google what a Stradivarius was. Bravo, gentlemen, you did it again.

[@nicholasjohnson4124]

KVV spitting some gorgeous rhymes at the end. Beautiful.

[@TheDeanoAka]

An all time ending!

[@3PuttMafia]

The give by KVV at 9:39 is borderline criminal

[@Duke4TW]

Agreed, that was gross. Too much of a class act

[@darrenfitzpatrick5331]

If giving putts was't allowed, these guys wouldn't be sub-10 handicaps thats for sure.

[@FBTRodz7]

​@@darrenfitzpatrick5331KVV nearly broke par on Strapped.

[@ankjtb1455]

Kev I need a pair of those metal wood fjs you got on… very cool

[@greyman419]

One thing about the fluffy guys - they're shoo-ins for the all-calves team. Also DJ absolutely stunting in that crispy sweater.

[@colliscole]

This is tip top content - cheers chaps 🔥

[@CrispyGFX]

DJ truly channeling his inner Marlo: "You think it's one way, but it's the other."

[@ianschwartz2496]

World class up-and-down on 11 there Kev

[@matthewpeters696]

“Folks, I saw pillow fights between Zeta sorority girls at TCU that had more animosity and athleticism than what I witnessed at the Homestead” -KVV that is one of the best lines we've seen on this channel. bravo

[@noggin2189]

God damn that essay at the end was art

[@Duke4TW]

DJ shanking that first bunker shot of the day was sick

[@kfarney5]

The post write up 🔥

[@phillipwalker1057]

KVV’s closing narration was hilarious and poetic, top stuff

[@lylekane777]

The silence at the 20:45 mark 🤌

[@charliemercer3473]

@KVV the Woodrow Wilson lines were legendary. Also as someone who’s battled the chipping yips for years I recommend getting a 60 degree with tonnes of bounce and if in doubt try and catch it half an inch fat if nervous

[@Ryder-BM]

Seeing the NLU squad under Titleist just feels right

[@nikkikiska]

Clearly, the main takeaway from this edition of "NLU Film Room" is to never smugly declare (i.e. with an inference that it could never happen again) that, as a beginner 15 years earlier, you shot an insanely high score at the course you're about to play...

[@KevinVanValkenburg-vd8ty]

I shot a 86 on this day, so yes it was slightly lower than the 117. 👍

[@nikkikiska]

86!!!???🤣🤣🤣 You finished birdie, birdie, birdie? And you do know the first 15 holes are on camera, right?

[@mikeperks1175]

The epilogue was epic, the golf not so 😂

[@Foddman]

A pillow fight for the ages! It really does just sum up golf though - we've seen DJ & KVV both play some pretty tremendous golf on the channel and then here you have them just making a complete mess of the place! Well done to the boys - hopefully KVV gets them yips sorted though, makes me anxious..

[@justinepiehowski]

Hoselshanks would be a great "CATS" character name

[@GWagon-wo7we]

Recently did a trip and played Kiawah ocean and sawgrass, Atlantic dunes amongst others. This was a close second to sawgrass , in classic NLU style they have no idea on courses and If Kev is an 8 handicapper I should be in the Ryder cup team!

[@Gilliemist]

Loved the self deprecation as always, can't imagine having the yips in front of all of youtube so god speed to KVV we all know you'll get it dialed back in

[@stillaway42]

Super sick, is KVV sporting denim shorts ?🤔

[@richjh9]

The putt KVV gave on the 4th deserves a statement from Tron.

[@treeasterly2070]

*Old Dominion Commonwealth. The Virginia folks are going to be relentless on this one! Love the bet payoff

[@travisk5820]

🔥 series

[@rleal53]

Love how KVV's rocking the metalwood collab

[@tomt31984]

What a video … great job … could kvv struggle all stemming from no glove ?

[@travisteeple4742]

KVV, as someone who is living through the same thing with chipping, I have 20 different things that work for 2 swings then disappears if you wanna try those.

[@kevinvanvalkenburg]

🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🤣

[@chrisbloxham9916]

I think you mentioned it early doors but I must have heard wrong. What are your handicaps?

[@terrylovell_video_editor]

KVV is all arms on those chips. I’m no pro but staying connected and only rotating through with my body seriously fixed my game around the greens.

[@nikkikiska]

Exactly. He calls it the yips but it's 100% not; it's just really poor execution.

[@blizany]

KVV need some immediate attention to that wild handle move on his putting stroke!! Never seen someone move the entire putter back like that 😂 loved the match and yalls content!!!

[@japansnider]

Why wouldn’t titleist fit these guys into the T300 irons? It would really help them

[@nikkikiska]

Over/Under on number of "no way on earth is KVV an 8 handicap" comments get posted?

[@me05501]

They say the camera adds ten strokes...

[@me05501]

Can a free sweater be overpriced?

[@paulsmith3176]

Assuming we will be getting Soly v Ben next week?

[@BlakeSousa-e8k]

Like these fellas, and enjoy the no laying up team generally. Good vibes on that front. But these two dudes are not strong single digit handicaps, not 7-8 index guys.

[@KyleWallingford-r5n]

Kevin Van Valkenburg? More like Kevin Van Vanity Cap… Good on anyone willing to have their golf on camera, I can’t imagine how my game would look on film.

[@OrvilleAndrew]

ART

[@prestonedison2084]

As a horned frog alumni, the TCU Zeta pillow fight call out is gold

[@conorw1989]

Enjoying the EU friendly upload time!

[@sprinkles18321]

The fact that this man almost broke par on video blows my mind. Golf is a funny game

[@SqueezeFade]

KVV’s recap saved this like a clutch par putt on the 72nd hole.

[@blkhll]

So, uh, did you break 109 or not?

[@SHRIVER.MATT.A]

In an homage to TC, Mr. Palmer also said #10 wasn't even the best hole on the course.

[@nikkikiska]

In a reply to my comment below, KVV stated that he shot an 86 for the round. Discuss amongst yourselves...

[@martingraham8321]

20:43 to 21:00 sums up golf

[@thewaddler729]

KVV the real winner. 👏👏👏

[@thepossieguy]

KVV absolutely stuntin in the metalwoods

[@ott60v]

Me to whoever was leading at the time: Now let them have it! The leader: You can have it! *loses the hole*

[@evanmetzold821]

Love this series but bring back a pro or a caddie or some expert giving feedback on the round. That was the best part in the previous ones

[@jmac6069]

Did Casey almost miss an ace on 18 or was that the edit? Oh my.

[@drroger98]

I feel you KVV

[@keithswanson5594]

KVV is sitting like Duffner in that rocking chair

[@nicklausoliphant]

Nice of DJ to fit this round in after having his eyes dilated

[@coachpdog]

Not that I doubt DJs effort wouldn't have been great.. im so glad KVV lost that match!! Well played lads!!

[@davidsteen7931]

Lord did KVV double every hole?

[@stillaway42]

more Wright Thompson than Jenkins 😄

[@drwrbrts]

KVV winning every drive, chip, putt, and essay contest he enters.
