Documentary filmmaker Erik Anders Lang takes viewers on a tour around the globe searching for the craziest, most intriguing stories in golf. In the first episode, Erik visits Scotland and the home of golf, the Old Course at St. Andrews. The journey includes a search for Old Tom Morris, a bagpipe lesson from a Fife local and several surprising twists in the quest to secure an elusive tee time on the oldest course in the world. Of course, not everything goes according to plan during this trip to St. Andrews, and resourcefulness proves critical to a successful journey.

This series is too good, really well put together and an phenomenal idea of a web series. Props to its creators.

[@johngarlandwood3487]

I love it

[@jcee6886]

That interview with Sheila from her window was classic.

[@daviemorales8385]

classic Sheila

[@jbsully7210]

"You couldn't grow anything there, not even weed." Haha great. This is an awesome show, please keep them coming.

[@eddiebrown687]

That wasn't Tom, Eric....that was Tommy, his son who also won The Open.............died very young. Legend has it he died of a broken heart after he lost a loved one.

[@nessybear]

Thank you for proving my point that you can enjoy sports through great content - never thought I’d want to play golf in Scotland but now I do

[@drumzmagoo]

At this point in his career, he had to make a tee time. Now every course wants him to film there. How awesome!

[@salfordnick5336]

St Andrew's as a town is fantastic, steeped in history pre golf....But playing the old course just gives you the chills but in a wonderful way

[@JohnBoyneGolf]

It all came good Erik & a lot of rather good fun...FORE!

[@thespian787]

How do you miss your TT for freaking St. A's?!

[@theacgkid]

Blaims it on the "traffic" lol

[@zacharyhymer8983]

some of the most awesome golf content on youtube!

[@josephrandal4720]

Just found this series and I’m pretty sure I’m going to watch every episode today.. or at least I’m gonna try. The host is a beauty lol

[@johnnygreenshirt6215]

This programme is the best I ever witness on You tube.

[@Danieljahearnlmft]

Finally, Golf I can understand. ⛳️

[@Bozopack]

Knowing that im good enough to play the old course is all i need in golf

[@JustinRSoles]

This series is so good. I wish every eposode was at least 30 mins

[@grasscutter1919]

GOlf Academy of America “03” and 15 years working on the grounds of California’s coastal courses, including Pebble Beach. I’ve seen and heard some cool stuff. These videos by Scratch are some of the best shows I’ve seen yet. Keep it up boys. Look forward to the next one. Try Monterey Pines GC in Monterey. Best short course in Cali.

[@Lionelj]

Production quality is great. Thanks guys

[@jamescormack9486]

This is the best vlog iv seen on KZbin Eric.the history on golf and in my beautiful country was second to none. The nxt time you come over to Scotland come to the royal musselburgh in prestonpans we have the oldest golf cub in the world and still gets played for to this day,the old club cup,which is that valuable they can put a price on it thanks

[@luap89]

that sand as Erik was walking looks brilliant

[@abelson23]

Good stuff... but I'm sure as you know the grave that you were at was Young Tom Morris' grave.

[@dc4l666]

Old Tom Morris grave is actually at the foot of his sons memorial.

[@racheltaylor6578]

I watched the movie about old Tom Morris and his son .It was very good.It’s so sad what happened to young Tommy and his wife and child.

[@markstrachan3616]

I. got the feeling in this blog that you was taking the piss out of the first golf course in the world , I stay in Dundee just 15 miles away , and I'm a prod Scotts man and keen golfer

[@jacobgolden8524]

I could listen to them talk all day.

[@dbrek8692]

Great video

[@smokenxarvil]

The coolest man in golf

[@networka]

Sign us up for a trip to Scotland!

[@craigharkins4669]

OMG Mr Soutar! What a legend! love that man!

[@shahyadesfandiary7234]

Played it with a tee time after 4 pm. And amazingly it did not rain at all during my round.

[@camahendo]

Very public conversation from her balcony it was funny 😂

[@ryanlivitz]

Just played the old course.. Special place.. Carnoustie and Muerfiled were amazing but the only course I want to play again is - The Old Course!!

[@ronin1767]

Where do I get one of those "fore play" hats? That's hilarious!

[@CraftLabs7]

last clip was the best! hahaha

[@brandonhea4394]

great first episode

[@tonyputod3341]

Thumbs Up!!!! i really enjoyed it :D By the way, stop playing golf and go on with bagpipe.

[@ryanleet1286]

Prestwick was the first course the open was played on..1860

[@adamdemirs3466]

I am jealous. Sawgrass is in my near future but to play on an old Tom course is the ultimate privilege.

[@tswaggypee1410]

Yeah the boys!

[@GUNSHIPFLEX]

How do you miss your tee time at St Andrews? The fuckkkkkk

[@Eric-on7wf]

Ive been there once before, beautiful place, the cemetery by the ocean is incredible. Great video.

[@nickdavis8881]

That memorial’s for Young Tom....

[@camehly2184]

'handicap of 24' followed by 'no hackers allowed!' uhm...

[@spooksterz]

Cam Ehly Well you can be a normal player you just haven't played as long as other people

[@Bussterr]

These hackers man

[@diogeneslantern18]

There is an awesome movie about Young and Old Tom Morris called "Tommy's Honour"

[@adamryan5538]

I abso-fucking-lutely loved this.

[@ellissep]

Earth condom!!! Lol haha Love it!

[@M15115]

1:20 - bro they are all playing hockey lol

[@blaster88778]

don't know if anybody else as told you but the oldest is musselburgh is.

[@alexbeaupre1751]

What type of ball did you put on the memorial

[@hugozhackenbush681]

Ye look like a mad flasher wae that jacket on

[@daniellee6408]

i'm 37yrs old and i have been planning a trip to St.Andrews since i was 28.. couple more years and my turn is up! Steady grinding to +4 or better handicap (legit) lol before i play there..Self taught is a motha! lol

[@stevenchampion8137]

Daniel lee If the wind blows you’ll struggle to break 90. It can be a very hostile environment. If there’s no wind, you’ll be disappointed with level par.

[@faststanger1]

Place can be brutal. We had three rounds at the old course. Plus the new course and the jubilee. Played mid July. Sunny and gorgeous one day and 44 with 40 mph winds and rain. Wicked land.

[@golfraven5669]

All the way throughout this video I was wondering who this voice is reminding of and finally I figured out - it is Benjamin Clymer from Hodinkee just in case you dudes are into watches.

[@bogeyboxgolf7506]

Erik is "Vice" of the golf world. Love it.

[@peternilsson8436]

There are older courses, like Musselburgh outside Edinburgh

[@a.y.8294]

That opening tee shot was fucking brutal lol did you hear that sound it made at contact

[@jimmybell9571]

Should of showed more of the course Eric !

[@mikehawk8276]

Lmao you missed your tee time when you were filming a show about golf... That's an epic fail man

[@aaronkeogh]

amen old tom

[@jackwickham4093]

Aaron Keogh Homer letter from his psrentts

[@alexanderszczerba2941]

I really hope my friend dan helped caddy for you!

[@davidgee1048]

Bobby Jones said that? I thought he said "hit it hard, it will come down somewhere."

[@adamfamily1614]

wow 😍😍😍😍😍

[@goaliehenrick]

Where in the hell did you get that Fore Play hat and where can I get one???

[@ronin1767]

Matt Kricheli I typed "for play hat" into google. They are $45 lol. Still hilarious though.

[@masonwhipple7834]

I would actually cry if I got a tee time there and was one minute late

[@thlee3]

what did he shoot?

[@jamesanderson6392]

Erik, check out the Musselburgh Old Course Golf Links. The world`s OLDEST golf course :-)

[@ConcaCon]

How are you not gonna post the scorecard, mate?

[@madhusanthana8113]

@skratch I see Tom Morris on the green at 9:04. Can you confirm?

[@ronin1767]

Madhu Santhana whatever that is it's quite odd!

[@brianalberigo5406]

My dad has played this course

[@hismaster100]

St Andrews might be the 'Home' of the Open but the Championship wiz born in Prestwick Ayrshire over jist 12 holes and has the only existing hole in Championship golf that has an unsighted green called ' Himalaya ' that's a par 3 and your fairways are just 20 yds wide with the first cut 6 inches deep and your 2nd cut..... deeeeep it's also a links course and Royal Troon is the next course north, I think the Laws and the Rules were finally established at St Andrews giving them the Royal Charter but the players call Prestwick " Auld Prestwick" a ken that cos' when a wiz wee boy we played at the burgh coup at the far end of the course near the 'Pow burn'

[@paulh.s2572]

What Carnoustie let me tell you Go it is Fantastic . See the hotel well from the 18th the bottom part right side is where I had a full Scottish breakfast och there is nothing like it and above it 2nd floor was my room tea coffee trooser press shower was weird but great time . On 18th before burn on right there is a bunker named MILLER'S BUNKER because he could not get out. I too found that but got out first time cleared burn and was 10 foot from pin . If I could play that again I would. Paul in uk.

[@derwall6812]

That is Young Toms Memorial

[@whatthehellol1610]

that was jr at the cemetery.

[@arthurpopulaire9216]

150 mountains *awkward silence* meters Phahaha good one, classic American :P

[@MA-ei4hd]

I played Beth page black and shot a 93 and I’m 14

[@brocktonwest4427]

he looks like the guy from the vice ball commercials

[@fabbyhervil]

[@KingInky13]

You do realize the memorial you left the golf ball on was for Young Tom Morris, not Old Tom Morris, right? Old Tom Morris died in 1908...

[@94aashir]

Him confusing young tommy's memorial for Old Tom's, ruined this episode for me

[@94aashir]

True, but the video made it seem as if he confused Young Tom's for Old Tom's. He should have clarified the difference for the viewers and shown Old Tom's

[@MrElsey123]

Aashir Iftikhar and me 😥

[@tinnedhaggis932]

As a Scots man i can say that 50 mps winds aren't that bad

[@ComradeLeonTrotsky]

The homie gets stoned and misses his tee time. Lolololol

[@maxmustermann683]

I m not that great at lotterys ... Erik anders lang won a lottery to play augusta

[@assaultpickle77]

Did...did he just hit with a wedge off a green!?

[@stevenchampion8137]

That was Young Tom Morris’ memorial you were at. Whilst father and son are buried in close proximity it’d be nice if you’d have gotten that right as some may misconstrue your sentiments as a bit half baked. Out of curiosity, why would you even contemplate sarcasm at a grave? Also, I think you needed to be at Musselburgh to be at the oldest of courses. Well worth a go. Still, I hope you had a really good time.

[@mburf202]

Did LIV golf steal your slogan of 'Golf. But Louder'?

[@jcee6886]

150 Mountains 😂😂😂

[@ddd1hhh]

Why do you disrespect that bridge???

[@NickRentals31]

Says he isn't great at lotteries, 3 years later he wins the Masters Media Lottery on his first try and gets to play Augusta National the Monday after the Masters. What a lucky guy

[@charliegordon7386]

nickoutdoors I was thinking the same thing

[@aloefgren]

Funny how this episode is about Tom Morris giving "ordinary" people the chance to play golf, yet in the comments i mostly see butt hurt old guys from england who complains about Eriks clothing, behaviour or anything he says and calling him an "annoying tourist" etc. Way to go lol. Great series Skratchtv!

[@mammooofilms]

The was tommy Morris’s grave not old Tom Morris 😂

[@MrJonnydelta]

What beats me is why would anyone dislike this video? Some sad folks out there..

[@michaelhanna1645]

Missing an 11:30 tee time? I yelled at my phone. Wtfwyfd?

[@MyFoxworld]

Really enjoyed the video but St Andrews is not really the oldest golf course in the world it's the oldest 18 hole one. Musselburgh 9 hole in Edinburgh is actually the oldest.

[@wesjackson9292]

Golf Fox I just played royal Dornoch (championship course) and it’s older than St. Andrews. St. Andrews is the 5 oldest, behind musselburgh, both the Dornoch courses and a few more

[@faststanger1]

Royal Dornoch is the greatest course in the world. I’ve played all the fancies throughout the world

[@coltoutside5976]

Where can i get that hat?

[@brenthart4941]

That wasn't Old Tom Morris that was his son, you where standing on old Tom's grave

[@astrofix4050]

0:58 "I'm not that great at lotteries" *Wins lottery to play Augusta on his first try

[@GUNSHIPFLEX]

No hackers allowed lol

[@swinger2]

“Not whilist trimming”

[@JA-lw3yi]

A recent convert to EAL content . . . . . . . . this early EAL has that youthful U.S. centric smugness. It's incredible how much he has grown over the years and is more understanding and accepting of the broader world after seven seasons.

[@ChristineScolari]

:D

[@thomasscott8438]

The oldest golf course in the world is actually the Old Musselburgh Golf Club in Scotland, not the old course

[@jonathanp7881]

Thomas Scott that just isn’t true. www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/oldest-golf-course/

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

Allergic to bad weather? Hot with blazing sun all year is pretty fucking bad weather to me. Gross. I'd rather have scotland's weather.

[@nairncumming360]

Not the oldest Gold Course, I'm afraid. Look up Musselburgh Links. Thank me later.

[@HarryHafsak]

She said not just for a game for the rich. Today a set of irons costs $800. A driver is half that.
