Tourist Sauce (Michigan): Episode 1, "Detroit"

[@charliewoolson]

These going from less than 10 minutes in season 1 to full 40 minute documentary episodes is awesome and should be encouragement to keep this going!

[@Hergenator]

Agree! These fellas deserve far more subs

[@2PP22]

Nice to see Randy turning the hips 11 minutes in, and he's not even swinging a club!

[@langheldphoto]

Is anyone else getting borderline pissed that these guys don’t have a million plus subs? The filming, editing, storyline, and soundtrack selections are absolutely NEXT level! WTH is the deal?

[@joeycameron4744]

I've heard of this channel before but didn't really check it out until recently. I've watched 4-5 of their different series that they have...and I will probably continue to dig through the back catalog. Unfortunately, their podcast, which I know they are known for, is lost on me. I just get bored listening to people talk like that, them included. The thing is...its like.....I like their series content, but at the same time something is missing. I can't quite put my finger on it. I think the guys are a good reflection of a range of golfers. But for some reason, I don't like all of them. But a lot of these golf channels do end up in the low to mid 100k subscriber count. To get to the million subscriber mark is tough.

[@roblandham1269]

​@@joeycameron4744 Agree. The podcast is pretty boring and the weekly pick videos are a snooze fest. Strapped is the best series by far because Neil and Big Randy are the two most likeable guys (IMO). Tourist Sauce is great because you get a full blown docuseries of a range of courses in 1 tourist location. The problem with a lot of their content is that its hard to follow. There are A LOT of inside jokes, references to past episodes, and it doesn't quite give the viewer the ability to just jump right in. It's also nearly impossible to follow their actual golf action - they don't really keep scores and status on a scoreboard for the viewer to easily reference.

[@jefft9893]

@@joeycameron4744 I agree. I cant decide if these guys are even likable. I mean compared to the Barstool rejects they are but that's a low bar. Sometimes I think i like a couple of these guys but then they go off on ridiculous references or jokes that nobody gets and it makes them annoying. I will admit though that I am in my 40's and I dont fully understand the Millenial/Gen Z lingo. I think their audience is geared towards younger guys.

[@Hergenator]

@@roblandham1269 that’s a good point. I was a little lost on the inside jokes and lingo when I first started watching & listening. Albeit worthwhile..it takes a little effort to get up to speed with their humor.

[@langheldphoto]

@Jeff Cellier im just saying that QUALITY wise these guys should be up much higher in subs. I do agree though that i much prefer the aforementioned quality over quantity. It just seems the quality doesnt match the sub count.

[@mattsercombe8361]

Can confirm I am on my fourth cycle of tourist sauce, content doesn’t get much than this. Relatable, enjoyable and addictive. Thanks NLU ❤

[@andrewheather3519]

Big Randy hunting the birds on and off the course.. love these series.

[@johnheinrich4910]

Thank you for coming to Michigan and being part of Michigan golf. Nothing better.

[@kentnies9731]

Thank you NLU Team...for not only the great golf content...but bringing history, culture and people into the mix. You guys are the best. Peace!

[@parne1ta]

I'm from Michigan and couldn't wait for this season to start. Watching episode one, it is embarrassing to admit just how much I cared what Tron thought of Buddy's pizza. When he said it was great pizza, I almost cried. So proud. I feel like I'm on this trip with the guys, and I can't wait for the rest of the season.

[@connorostrowski89]

Being from Michigan this is so cool to see NLU play a lot of courses I’ve played on this channel. I’m so hyped

[@RobArnold77]

Drive to Survive (with a serious budget) changed the sport of F1. NLU (with a significantly lower budget) is doing the same for golf. Tourist Sauce (together with strapped etc) is a great reminder that the new narrative of golf is predicated on accessibility and inclusivity but is at the same time, aspirational. NLU is successful not because it is a golf show but because it exemplifies what golf brings us - connection, characters & camaraderie. There’s only one question I have which this season will hopefully answer - is It his time? #Yessir #Icarito

[@SPIIIVA]

I agree (well said).

[@dbarless]

I watch this season every year around this time to get me even more pumped for golfing in northern MI in the summer. It really is some of the best golf in the country. I moved away to Cincinnati when I was in my mid-20s but am lucky enough to be able to spend most of the summer up north now. I love that this channel was able to show how awesome Michigan really is.

[@alistairwooster6460]

A great start, personally I really enjoy the blend of golf with cultural/area narrative….as a Brit, it’s great to be able to learn more about the US cities/regions. Production quality just gets better. Keep up the good work guys👍

[@chippycut1406]

It's really good. One of the reasons Americans like golf trips to the UK as well.

[@adamszewczyk7829]

From a Born n’ Bred all my life, 41 years and counting, Metro Detroit east sider who lives in the Burbs, have worked downtown for 20 years, summers up-north, these videos you guys have put out have made Me proud to be where I’m from……. And feeling proud to be a Michigander on January 29th, another Saturday locked inside, “feels like negative degrees” everyday… is not the time I’m usually proud to be from here. Mad love and respect ✊🏼

[@mayorganism]

Awesome what you guys do for golf, thank you for shining a light on what it means to travel golf. It’s so much more than the courses, and this is the perfect example of how culture impacts the game.

[@calebmichaelhoover]

My two home courses! Nearly brought a tear to my eye seeing the city get the appropriate amount of love!

[@tejbergin6393]

Thank you. As a local of Ann Arbor and growing up so close to Detroit it was beautiful to see how well you guys portrayed the city!

[@MattSump]

Detroit Style pizza is awesome, great blend of thin vs thick vs crispy. Highly underrated

[@nickwatson8557]

Solid tomato sauce game as well, the true workhouse of any pizza.

[@billhanis4762]

There is no such thing as Detroit style pizza, it was named within the past year or 2.

[@timmorrill7664]

Love seeing Randy, aka the Jolly "Green Thumb" Giant, adding to his digital collection of urban gardens. Truly electric content.

[@jonahmytro9605]

Great episode 1 NLU !!! keep up the great work..

[@dingman123]

Boys this is amazing. Pie man continues to raise the bar. So glad that Michigan golf is getting some shine. As a born and bred Michigander, it’s awesome that more people are being exposed to what is arguably the most underrated golf state in the country.

[@cameronbelton9568]

The fact your content does not have interrupting ads is appreciated and does not go unnoticed

[@litfamwinkle3391]

Why don't we have millions of subscribers? Every video, every SINGLE video's production value and storytelling is perfect.

[@Bb23199]

Just moved here. It is a great city and a great golf community.

[@landog606]

It brings me joy when Randy and Neil greet each other in these videos

[@timkelly164]

As a michigan native this is a really great depiction of the city of Detroit that most people will never discover. Great episode - looking forward to the rest of the series .

[@andrewdoyle3900]

“We will have people coming from countries who are struggling, because we have space for them”. ❤️ Never been to Detroit, that lady makes the world a better place and makes me want to visit. Great content NLU, thank you 👍

[@RevPethor]

I love the little savage moments DJ adds like cutting to Randy missing a putt right as he says he’s figured something out. You love to see it.

[@tonypepperoni6050]

NLU does not miss!

[@ciarancarroll8510]

Man if Tron ijs counting the Ireland "birdie" challenge as a tourist sauce win.... its the greatest tragedy in sports

[@21Swayzee]

I agree, Detroit is fun, and now that the border is finally open, I can't wait to golf in Michigan again, this spring. I hope!

[@niclasaronsson8939]

Great episode, made me want to go and visit Michigan and I live in Sweden! High quality production, cant wait to see more whcih I am going to do in 10 min.!!

[@brianperticari]

Its criminal that you guys havent won any awards for this series. It is so well made its scary!!!

[@andrew4tier]

Really well done! Great storytelling and captures Detroit perfectly. Hopefully they weren't at Rackham too long, every time I play there pace of play is a big issue.

[@nickwatson8557]

Solid start for the boys. The pod got me very interested in some road trip options for Michagolf.

[@winstont6659]

really great to see the BIG getting back to his roots at the Detroit metro zoo. Very wholesome with the tip of the cap

[@ceforbes2356]

Even though I’ve watched all of these, this episode alone made me go back and start from the beginning

Epic episode. This is tv quality.

[@mtjwilson379]

Great ep

[@NateL2]

Gotta love the raw emotion from Neil and DJ hitting horrible shots. It’s great knowing that it’s unedited and uncensored

[@pf7766]

this is the best show of all time

[@mattwright6075]

This Michigander is really excited for this season.

[@markhayman6935]

Highlight of the golfing year.

Plot twist: Is Neil the ultimate match play player?

[@paulp2055]

Two of my favorites…Michigan golf and Buddy’s Pizza!! Welcome to the mitten state…

[@ryanrogowski6281]

As a Michigander, I wish I had two more hands so I could give this episode 4 thumbs WAY UP.

[@SimManiac383]

Michigan is one of the best golf states hands down

[@seofutbol]

Lived here all my life. Love the golf. When I’m out of state and Michigan comes up I tell them, “terrible place. Can’t wait to get out of there!” Gotta discourage people. This is our little secret that doesn’t need to get out.

[@sirdavos9319]

I’m only 6 minutes in and I’m jazzed up. You boys are a national treasure!

[@alexdevers9726]

DJ with the dancing bear belt is a nice touch. We like subtle

[@agui2333]

Man this is so cool to see things in the backyard

[@tchombre1992]

Awesome video! I lived in Toledo, OH for 3 years, about 45 min south of Detroit, and that city has so much pride. Like people LOVE saying they're from Detroit for better or worse. It's a place that has experienced a bunch of hardship, but you have some of the hardest working, tough people on earth from that city, and they are so proud to call Detroit their home. Such a misunderstood city.

[@wademcdiffett9028]

Pro strapped move by Neil with the extra carry on gate check move. Big Randy, not to be outdone, deciding to leave his clubs in Denver and focus on his tango skills this season? Legendary strapped move.

[@TimBennett38]

Awesome first episode! Genuinely though, just thank you NLU team for providing awesome free content with amazing production value, showcasing Michigan golf and highlighting Detroit. Can't wait for the rest of the season and I am sure I will watch it at least two more times afterwards to get me through a Michigan winter! Also, this is for sure "the kid's" Season, LFG Neil!!

[@smartartwork007]

You guys just make me smile - transformational storytelling. ❤️

[@mattwfu99]

Four minutes into this episode I told friends we need to start looking at a Michigan golf trip. Amazing work, as always. Some of those lake views in the opener are stunning.

[@chippycut1406]

Yes you need to. Best quality golf for the money in America. It's going to be even more crowded after this series.

I'd love to see some stats from the guys. Over the last 7 seasons of Tourist Sauce, what are the individual strokes-gained-trusting-the-process? DJ Pie must've lost about 8 to "the field" (The Beluga) during this match.

After listening to the podcast recap im looking forward to seeing future episode's. As a CDCC employee I disagree with alot of what was said about my favorite course in the midwest, Greywalls. That being said I completely see where you all came from. Looking forward to that episode most and seeing the contrast between how you guys illustrate the difference between nuances, balance and scope.
