Strapped (Southern California): Part 3, "Vista" with Max Homa

[@KevinBostwick]

This little series made me a huge fan of Max. Seems like such a cool dude.

[@seanoreilly823]

+1 - Completely agree.

[@garrettbgross]

Check out him and Shane Bacons podcast if you haven’t. Great stuff to go along with the NLU boys

[@liljackypaper]

He's the nuts

[@treypetty9269]

It's wild hearing Max at the 17 minute mark talking about if he'll ever be a perennial winner and he's now top 10 in the world. Inspiring stuff!

[@Srnichols]

Fast forward to 2023 and Max has 6 PGA wins and is no. 8 in the world. Go Max!

[@timconklin1741]

Two things....I'll never watch a tournament with Max in it and not root for him.....and this is what golf is all about. So well done.

[@Ads-fb3yw]

Long time consumer; first time author (created a KZbin account just to do this!!) Boys, the content you produce at no Laying up aren't just the best golf videos..aren't just the best KZbin videos..I honestly prefer this to anything any major network or tv/movie/streaming service creates. I'm not a massive golfer, (play 4-5 times a year!!) but the stories you put out there, relationships and characters you present are insanely great. I'm sure a lot of the credit has to go to DJ and whoever else edits/puts the show together, but the content is so clean and fresh it's unbelievable. To be only getting 20,00-50,000 views an episode says more about the golf community and content consumers online than it does to the awesome material you put out there. Please continue to keep up the great work. More tourist sauce seasons in the UK would be great as you do have a growing audience over here!! (Come to the north-west of England...5-6 amazing championship links in one area!! Keep the amazing content coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Adam

[@thewaddler729]

Just rewatched …. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jamesdickemann319]

Coming back and rewatching old Strapped episodes. Max has always been a humble and down to earth guy's guy. So easy to pull for him.

[@wyattsmall1125]

6:22 the guy taking a picture of max from the other table 😂

[@dannyoleary8261]

The last video in a Strapped series gives me all the feels every single time... man, I wish I could be playing golf right now.

[@LevelOneMagikarp]

Played VHS JV my sophomore year 2010. Never was able to get anywhere good enough to be in varsity, but picked up golf again recreationally and vista will always have a special place in my heart. Chica was my entire childhood

[@jeremyhyland5562]

Strapped boys got max feeling like a kid again out there, and matched his spirit. Icarito made it to the sun with this one.

[@franidelaserna]

Big fan of the team and of Max. Great to see him out there with the guys. Wild to see him waiting at John Wayne and people not swarming him :)

[@williamvandyke2370]

So easy to root for Max, back here after the 2024 Masters. Strapped faithful knew he would arrive.

[@mattsteeves6118]

The local music touch on these really takes it to another level

[@pwalker317]

this continues to be the best golf content out there!

[@UlrikStreetPoulsen]

100% this! How they don’t have more suscribers is beyond me.

[@pwalker317]

@@UlrikStreetPoulsen They've talked about it before. It's a smaller niche market that will grow organically. But their power in the content game comes from their utilization and engagement %, which is thru the roof.

[@UlrikStreetPoulsen]

Patrick Walker Yeah, really good point. I’ll jump on it every time I see a new video pop up. I don’t do that with any other channel.

[@kusler67]

I have watched all you guys improve over the last 3 years but by far most improved is Big Randy. No more mental miss necessary. Good work.

[@K11duds]

Been watching NLU every day on my work from home lunch break during quarantine. My dad always says "This makes me feel happy like an old time movie". Just tremendous content

[@brando1937]

That is a perfect way to describe it. Just great feel good content

[@greebytime]

Aside from the utterly objectionable choice in what professional sports teams he roots for, it's hard not to think Max Homa might be the greatest guy ever. SO nice and funny and clever and not a bad golfer to boot.

[@GfCast39]

I come back to this video almost weekly to remember the simple joys of golf.

[@lilbrusselsprout8261]

Idk why it's so much more satisfying to watch pros play in this context but it is

[@robertsiefert4068]

Coming late to this great stuff. The last two episodes with Max really hit home. Played Wilson and Vista over 30x each when I lived and worked in SoCal. Great stuff

[@ryanchristensen3665]

Channeling the vista vibes this morning. Go get done max

[@CarlWinslow346]

Respect to the pic taker at 6:21 obviously snapping Big Randy

[@redspyder7979]

Max may not need any more fans, but he has a new one in me. Great series, as always.

[@Cstatkid]

Love seeing the Alex Caruso hoodie from Max!

[@sammy21sosa]

Any idea where to get one?

[@Cstatkid]

Sammy Wilshire that exact one I do not. Alex will do limited releases of his merch randomly. I would say follow him on Instagram and wait for an announcement.

[@sammy21sosa]

@@Cstatkid will do, thx!

[@Cstatkid]

Sammy Wilshire carushow hoodies are back out. represent.com/store/caruso

[@gbone2636]

On my 4th watch through of all the Strapped's, this one is up there.

[@MarkMac17_GK]

Neil’s game gives me such vibes of my game….long ball….icarito. Love it

[@jasonporro173]

This is quickly becoming my favorite thing to watch on KZbin

[@TheDeepsilver]

Dude deserves everything good that's been happening for him

[@TuxShredder19]

This was the course I first took lessons at when I was 12 or so. Didnt really play golf, just hanging out with a friend. Flash forward, 20 years later: i love golf, tuning into NLU for about a year, and I see these hooligans playing it on Strapped. Hit me in the feels with all this stuff going on right now. You guys rock.

[@UlrikStreetPoulsen]

Consistently the best golf content there is. Period. So much love for the game and it shines through in every episode. I can’t get enough of it. And Max - easily my favourite player on the PGA Tour.

[@BS-zq3lq]

Strapped Boys is by far the best golf content available.

[@keithmarkramsay6642]

Great vid guys and Max not enough adjectives in the English language to describe what a great down to earth guy he is.This video reminded me why I really love this sport with passion, 45 years ago spending my summers in Scotland on the course from 06.30am till 21.00pm five days a week ( juniors not allowed at that time on the weekends...that sucked) with my mates playing 4/5 rounds a day caddying looking for balls to sell for me some of the best times ever.

[@ahoop24]

Max is now my favorite pga tour player. Amazing

[@samansty364]

Max Homa is an absolute beauty!

[@mikekerr6747]

Max is a stud.... Randall my man great round 👌

[@timboucaut9185]

Favourite strapped episode, hands down.

[@willchristensen4248]

Insight like this into tour players has never been available to most of us hacks and it's great to finally see. We the people ... would love way more.! Max is awesome!

[@Suited1989]

Love this. I moved to Scotland from Northern Ireland and all my best mates are still back there. We don't get to see each other often but when we do it's always a great time and if there's golf involved it's hard to beat! Also in a game so full of egos at the minute Max seems like a total dude, hope he keeps doing well!

[@chrise6013]

That shot at Chica with the leaves falling everywhere was a VIBE

[@jonathanteague7106]

Greatest golf video ever

[@BeachBow]

I always say "Golf is a game, and games are meant to be fun". My best rounds have always been when I'm out cutting up with my group, laughing so hard my sides ache. You get to the end and realize, even if I didn't play my best, it was still a great round of golf. I think that's what Max found. All the best guys!

[@michaelh365]

My first hole in one was also at this golf course. Very fun course. And great to see Max back there playing 👍🏻

[@ianlovessoccer77]

Athens, Georgia Strapped!! Great town, and a breeding ground for top PGA players

[@connorh6986]

Can confirm, Athens is right up the strapped alley. Current student at UGA, but I can unbiasedly say Icarito and Big Randall would have an absolute time in the culture haven that is Athens

[@russellcribbs7537]

Make it happen. Go Dawgs.

[@connormorris3146]

This is my home course too, awesome to see you guys here. Especially with Max who I remember seeing at the range trying to make it through Q school when I was playing on the high-school team.

[@tyleregan]

Golf isn't going to die because of you boys! The contend you produce is like no other and i'm grateful to be along for the ride!

[@thebigeasy8609]

Great series! Max is almost as cool as Big Randy and Neil aka "The Diner Boyz". No Laying Up has THE BEST golf content on KZbin bar none! They should seriously be on the Golf Channel with all the different types of content! C'mon man! as in the Golf Channel!

[@LukeD2012]

The video editing and production quality just keeps getting better DJ!

[@trejordan9673]

This was so nostalgic for me. I learned how to play golf on the “Chica” course at Vista. Thank you guys for this!

[@nickl451]

Huge Max fan, glad I found this!

[@mvillechuck]

The best golf and travel vlogging on the web. Damn shame we will deprived of a new one for a while due to rona.

[@dhtmo]

Max is such a well grounded person. I'll be rooting for him when the season kicks off again. Great, great vid guys!!!

[@nickoborn]

Keep coming back to watch this series, just really captures why I play golf. Gets me so fired up to play

[@WOOOOOOO721]

The DJ Pie production quality pulling at the heartstrings like Clapton on a "Layla" track. Strapped is some of the best content on the World Wide Web.

[@VinnyNegriGolf]

Max is an awesome dude! Definitely going to be following him while he plays!

[@lkjh467]

I'm adding Max to my list of PGA Players I've Learned To Love Through NLU (Patrick Cantlay being the first). PS writing from New Zealand, just had my first game of golf in 5 weeks it was awesoooome! Golf is still out there everyone - stay safe and practise your chipping. That would be my advice.

[@jth0099]

Love the cast as usual. Beautiful takes and vibes boys. Saw an NLU beanie at the zoo on a dude. Need to get my swag. Off to the merch store

[@user-px2sk9nd1n]

I love these videos. They cheer me up. Thks

[@TheBlueDevilDuke]

Finally finished Strapped. By far the best series you guys produce. Can't wait for more adventures with Big Randy and Neil.

[@darrenbyrne5345]

Liked it already because I know it's going to be good

[@lucascrotto1153]

Strapped is so cool, and every time it gets better. I really love to see the evolution of Randy’s game, he’s balling right now. Awesome

[@bcdgolf5681]

Max is so relatable and it's great to see. Just loves playing golf, and is just grateful he gets to do it as a job.

[@chrisbrown5263]

Just beautiful. A tonic for the soul during lockdown. Thank you so much NLU and Strapped boys you have restored my faith in life.

[@tartrip8165]

Cant watch enough of these guys by far best series and team on youtube. And i will definitely be rooting for Max seems like a good dude.

[@tomfagerli1980]

Excellent trip. Made me nostalgic for my youth at our muni. Learned to love golf and made lifelong friends.

[@alanheseltine7959]

What a great series guys, and such a great opportunity to play with Max

[@jerdo402]

This is Golf.....Max is such a good guy. Thanks for sharing.

[@markpodbury2307]

The pure joy of golf. Man, I can’t wait to get back out

[@Shabeck1]

I’ve never smiled so much during a golf vlog. Awesome job!

[@drenemmy]

Great episode. Grew up playing munis and executive courses and this is what it's all about.

[@brandonhunter53]

Great 3 episodes. Even a bigger fan of Max after watching this.

[@jimmydelrio8662]

As a native angeleno, it has never gotten old. Also, the San Gabriel Valley is littered with golf gems.

[@brokenbaggolf]

You got the mega bonus boys!!! Schuster likeeeeeessssss!!!! Randy the ever calm wing man trying to keep icarito some what grounded! Love my strapped boys!

[@brokenbaggolf]

Dj once again another fine job on the new strapped video! Randy your gonna be the one to win mega bonus i know it! Icarito fly high my man fly high!

[@jamesk6640]

One of the best series yet boys! Max was great, hard not to be a fan of his after watching this! I'll definitely be following him closely on tour! Keep up the great work boys, love this stuff!

[@rdavidson86]

Another great episode! Max seems like a pretty stand up dude. Loved strapped!!

[@Vlaid65]

Excellent series.

[@evanmobley5117]

Its so wholesome and heart warming.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Awesome stuff. 👍

[@L1Ben]

Great episode, huge fan of Max and this solidifies it

[@FindMeInSeattle]

I love this show and to see it go to santa clarita and Vista/Chica made my day. I grew up on that course too and it made me fall in love with golf. I'm so pumped you played Chica. Shout out to Max! This episode was great and I really liked that it covered his ups and downs as a pro

[@dvnstone]

Awesome video guys!

[@callumferg9b]

This series just makes me love golf more with every episode, can’t wait to get back out‼️

Just a really great watch, thank you guys.

[@joshuaburks759]

Fantastic show once again. Keep up the great work NLU!

[@loctee]

I grew up in Saugus Ca. in the 70s. Vista was the first course I played. Loved it. My dad called Little V. Big V was Valencia. I don’t think it was private then. Not sure.

[@TheKeenej]

Certainly not an interrupted walk. Great going guys. Max is awesome! Yall were ok as well. LOL

[@merv592]

Best thing on youtube, how did 2 people dislike it ? DJ you're getting seriously good at producing this stuff

[@shpike66]

What a fantastic HOMAge.

[@lilbrusselsprout8261]

Max is so pure wow

[@jr237638]

Great work

[@villarox7]

Made my first hole in one there on 18 with my best buddies. Great place to learn the game
