Match Play with NBA Legend James Worthy (EAL's Lowest Round EVER)

[@trexaz19]

HUGE shoutout to the bird tracer at 15:43

[@cubfan]

Great round Erik. James Worthy seems like a cool dude.

[@ajcampbellone]

Do you golf also?

[@Rahrahsisboombob]

Minecraft meets golf. My life is complete!

[@RandomGolfClubFilms]

What. A. Day.

[@Nezzybit]

Damn near gave me a heart attack on the 18th green lmao

[@willlloyd9480]

I saw this early in the video, completely forgot about it. Experienced similar, and now returned to credit your comment !

[@mjflores4314]

Not only break par for the first time but break par playing alongside one of the best ever. What a day Erik! Congrats sir!

[@Malvarious]

This was a fantastic episode. Everything about this is what keeps me eagerly awaiting the next. Congrats on a great round of golf!

[@stuartrobertson5062]

The blurb at the beginning from James was awesome, he nailed it having drinks enjoying a day for a few hours with friends

[@olivergalang3256]

What a great episode with Laker Legend, Big Game James!

[@navasalazarsebastian357]

This has to be one of the beat episodes. Hillcrest CC perfect scenery. The guest. The things you guys talk about. Erick being in “The Zone”. And last but not least, the remarkable post production, I mean, it is one of the best you’ve guys ever made. The music, color correction, even the typography. Just amazing. Thanks for making this kind of content.

[@victorbarchers7346]

Wow what a day. Bet the heart was pumping trying to keep it together down the stretch. Impressive. Congrats.

[@coled82595]

Would love to see more rounds/interviews with professional athletes from other sports who have taken up golf during their careers or after retirement. It's always fascinating to hear superhumans in other sports talk about their love of golf and how much of a struggle it can be even for them.

[@RandomGolfClubFilms]

More to come! Have you seen the Gareth Bale video? It was a great conversation.

[@coled82595]

@@RandomGolfClubFilms Yes that was a good one as well. Though as an American I know nothing about soccer so this one with James is a bit closer to my heart and knowledge lol. Looking forward to future videos as always!

[@bt7075]

Loved this. Showtime Lakers have a very special place in my heart. Have had the pleasure of spending some time with Byron Scott on the golf course. Great dude and very good golfer. Great round EAL!

[@JaySteetsArt]

These videos NEVER fail to deliver the human element of golf. To see an NBA legend enjoy the game without pure mastery, without hitting every shot perfectly, is inspirational. And, what a great dude!

[@AtomMan523]

Way to go Erik! I broke par for the first time in my life earlier this year and it was such a great feeling! I can't wait to do it again. Keep the great content coming.

[@brycebott6798]

Why didn't we get a measurement on Erik's height?

[@nmciw]

I was waiting for the classic "5'11 and a half" 😏

[@fredgarvin4252]

I would guess 5’9”. Saw him on a vlog standing next to Tom Watson.

[@petetalbert]

One of those rounds that will bring you back for life. Such an incredible feeling, man.

[@Bminson]

My best ever is 74 like you! You showed me what is possible for our handicap it’s my turn I hope soon! That was awesome, I know how happy I would be. I could see just how elated you were inside, I want to know that feeling!

[@RandomGolfClubFilms]

As long as you have a good time on the course - that's all that really matters ⛳️

[@winstonsmith11]

RESPECT! Way to go, Erik! You held up down the stretch like a champ. The bounce back birdie was amazing. Just awesome, man. I'm so happy for you. Congrats!

[@danpckim]

I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy for someone I don’t know. Congrats EAL! Maybe it shows that playing with someone as cool as Eric helps his game??

[@thomaswilliams9331]

Congrats Erik! Also, James Worthy is a class act!!

[@paulpanamarenko]

So stoked for you dude! I can’t wait to break 80:this year. I stood on the 9th hole on a 9 hole course once at 3 under par. Triple bogies the last hole to come in even. True story.

[@moonlanding-69]

I'm playing Heron Lakes Portland OR with my son. I'm even thru 6 (we played just 9) he's -1. I go +7 (43) on the final 3 holes. He went +2 final 2 holes (37). He looks at me and say "you suck". Last week I redeemed my self and shot a 39.

[@shaunwilliamcallahan]

As someone who also just shot their lowest score ever so far (+10) 19HCP.... this was a great watch. On the last 3 holes I had the same thought "I feel like I'm cheating" "This isnt supposed to happen yet" haha. Guess I gotta go see the Northern Lights in Alaska now?

[@Biyobi.]

Fantastic round and a great catch-up with Big Game James! I was an teenager in L.A. during the 80's and the Showtime era still holds a special place in heart.

[@jaredduncan7291]

Nice round EAL!!! Really digging the sound track.

[@dylanharrington744]

Well done Erik. As a Brit, James is one of the NBA Players even I recognise. Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Worthy were the only Players I Know.

[@dahvid2252]

Wow, congrats on checking this off your bucket list! At 41, I have childhood memories of watching Magic, Byron Scott, Worthy and his goggles on my little 13 inch tv with rabbit ears. Such a cool moment.

[@samuelshafer1037]

EAL: Love the great content man, been a sub for a long time. As a kid from wisconsin, i was able to golf in Florida and shot a personal best of 7 over par, breaking 80 for the first time. Your content has helped me fall and stay in love with the sport,

[@felix-qq3wy]

Mr Worthy, I was a huge fan of yours back in the day and even more so now because of the Hawai'i hat you represented along with the Grand Wailea shirt. lol

[@AdanTSA]

Awesome episode...and I have to say Erik really fascinated me before but seeing he was married to Sia (who I'm also a fan of) and hearing a bit of his stories through his videos....your life really is a journey man. Erik, you are a special dude, keep up the good work!

[@elliotp1973]

EAL on the 18th Green. I was shouting at the TV like I had money on you! Great episode. I had a James Worthy poster hanging in my room as a kid. Great round with Big Game.

[@d7writes]

What a fantastic episode! ⛳️🏌🏽‍♂️

[@atxrich]

Playing golf with a member of the 80’s “Showtime” Lakers….what a life.

Great job Erik in breaking par....and James a real class act

One of my favourite episodes I have seen great golf and better vibes

[@lucasblanchette8627]

Such a big fan of the variety of music the editor is putting into these films!

[@_dboy_]

I'm a Bulls fan, but I appreciate very much how James' shot tracer is the purple and gold. Also, nice playing Erik!! And oh, I have those shoes 🔥🔥😎

[@MrRatFinkster]

Love these videos. Can't wait for the next "Breaking" series!!

[@RandomGolfClubFilms]

We've got Breaking content coming your way VERY soon!

[@wwityshyn]

Such a class act. Just as humble here as when the game isn't going your way. Loved seeing this!

[@adamarmstrong7718]

Great round Erik! In the presence of a legend. Bucket list ☑️

[@tresfenton]

Best episode yet. I was literally nervous that something would happen, and EAL would come off the rails, because it's happened to me twice. 3 and 4 under with 3 to play, and didn't even shoot par! At 61, it's getting tougher and tougher, but it's still a life goal. Let's GO!

[@patrikSMD]

„A day with James“ which will be always remembered! CONGRATULATIONS for the round and thanks for this special episode! a few years ago i shot a 3 under (par 72) as well. it‘s still and will be for a long time one of the biggest things i achieved. i even felt to have mastered golf that day but honestly thought i could have done better… golf is just weird in that way.

[@peterrod16]

Awesome video. Great round. Please bring back big game James for another video.

[@ZaxDrumsGolfandMore]

Very cool episode!! It's also great that Erik get's to play golf with all these celebraties!! James seems like a really chill dude!! Looks like you both played pretty good too!!!

[@tincup850]

Appreciate the content as always man! Great round btw!!!!!

[@RickRoubos]

Great round. I had a similar experience. Previous best was a 75. Played a match with 3 others, one over through six then went six under through six holes en route to a 68. So happy I told my competitors to keep their money, I wanted the scorecard. Wasn't juggling a film crew and an interview with an nba hall of famer.

[@MalunoMcSketch]

This is quite possibly your best video

[@junglistdon]

“In golf, the ball is already dead and we still try to kill it.” Food for thought.

[@kennywatkins8305]

Erik your swing looks great. We can see all that hard work starting to pay off!

[@brendanmaruyama2407]

omfg im just seeing this now in my recommends , but i have been gone for a few weeks awesome video i love james worthy

[@Darwizzy966]

Another incredible video from RGC. Congrats on the round EAL! P.s. Erik must have went into the Die Hard building and got the Specialist bonus to shoot this round.

[@scottjones2531]

Erik rocking the Criquet shirt. Big things happening down in Austin...Nice round! What a guy Worthy is.

[@ianthorp5761]

Big Game James! What a legend. I feel like shooting your best score ever with a Laker great is MY fantasy scenario, what the hell Erik. Well played man.

[@pattymayonnaise925]

Great video! James seems like a real pleasure to be around!

[@RandomGolfClubFilms]

Thank you! James was so good to hang with. Genuinely a great person.

[@legend9018]

The secret to golf (and life) is that you define the situation, the situation does not define you. You control your attitude which defines how you view it and controls your effort which controls the outcome. PS-More shot tracers on birds please lol

[@mitchellmuzza7631]

The tracer on the bird 😂😂. Well played 👌🏼

[@willlloyd9480]

Being a Brit I don’t know of JW. But you can tell he did it all . What a cool dude

[@uKaZdAb]

Absolute legend to basketball fans, even though he was like third dog in the pack order with Magic and Kareem. One of those 3 or 4th best players on a team that you wonder if without him, they would have been as good.

The birdtracer was a nice touch. Cool vid!

[@trailblazer77]

I had 5 birds last week playing a tough course that's in moderate shape. Had two chip ins from about 12-15 feet on 16-17, one from a shirt sided bunker. The very next hole I sunk a 25 footer for bird. I was definitely, "In The Zone" I doubled 18, a par 5 that's always a tough hole for me and shot a 79. It was a confident booster and since than I've shot 80s or better. 🍻🙌🏻 never had 5 birds and definitely never had back, to back, to back birds. Thanks E.

I was shocked when he said the lowest he has ever been is 74, 2 over, that swing just looks so good on camera, haha.

He also said in one or two vids that he was a 3 handicap so not sure about that number anymore.

[@DaPackagez]

@@joshschubert2860 i believe at his best he was a 3, but now that he isn’t practicing as much anymore he hovers around a 7-10ish.

I just shot my career best on Tuesday. Had such similar thoughts when I got to 16, although I was still hunting birdies, not trying to avoid doubles. That's how you shoot in the 60s.
