This Could Be The Best Front 9 In Golf // Scotland Ep. 10

This could possibly be the best front nine in golf, period. In all fairness, we didn’t get to play the full back nine - but what we did play was absolutely spectacular. Jordan Whyte of Renaissance Club hosts Erik Anders Lang and the CREW (a big one at that) at his home club - ROYAL ABERDEEN GOLF CLUB.
At most courses in Scotland, you receive a tee bag at the first tee, and Royal Aberdeen’s is no joke. Peter Finch hikes along with the crew for another round, Galloway is still on the bag, Colt nurses an injury, Jordan gives us some history of the course, ACE CAM heats up, and the X5 has a supporting role as a clown car. Perfect for the boys.

First Rick Shiels, now Peter Finch, the first Golf KZbinrs I watched before I found Mr. EAL. Epic, just absolutely epic. Changing the landscape of how we view golf with every video, podcast, and post.

[@markwoods6794]

Mate this is exactly the same as me. Absolutely love every vlog, video, whatever it is. Definitely makes me want to play as much as I can! Love it

[@chrismayor5147]

Eric is so much better to my mind!

[@bigjmal]

The editing might be the unsung hero of these films, love it.

[@MarksGolfVlog]

That’s the most fun I’ve ever had playing golf. Just 7 dudes trying to get in as many holes of golf before the sun disappeared. Another excellent video showcasing how lucky we are in Scotland with the selection of courses at our doorstep!

[@RandomGolfClubFilms]

Thank you for joining... My guy

[@chrismayor5147]

Well that was fun! One of the greatest courses in the world.....IMO. Never gets the credit it deserves. Keep these coming please EAL

[@maximeprissert]

The sound of the flag in the wind at 5:50 was serene

[@gordongourlay4449]

My Guy, My Course. I’ve been waiting a while for this. I played Uni golf here for 5yrs ... at £100/year. Never went to class, caddied 2 rounds a day in Summer. Best days of my life. This course is no joke ... and super glad you all enjoyed. Looks like the beachside tee at #3 finally got swallowed by the sea - shame - but what can you do. #8 is a gem, if anyone was gonna get an ACE, it was gonna be there. The search goes on ...

[@biondinx]

I remember those days - I miss it!!

[@dylanharrington744]

I love the fact Muirfield told the Prince to do one. Good on them, for sticking to the rules we all have to abide by. Look how things have ended up for him. This is a beautiful Course with a history as old as some Countries. Scotland has it all, lucky buggers.

[@kennethcochrane654]

Thanks for featuring Royal Aberdeen. Agree that this could be the best front nine in golf. The back nine is no slouch either.

[@HelloWorldRobnLisa]

Oh man, you are living my bucket list Eric. Thank you for taking us along for the journey. If you every find yourself in the Philadelphia area, give us a ring. We will take you to the absolute BEST cheesesteak shop. Cheers!!

[@jqmeehan731]

Erik this is gold. I went to Ireland last summer and played Doonbeg and Lahinch. It is amazing how accessible these great courses are in the UK. I wish the US followed this process closer, allowing more access to clubs. Also could Stuart be any more funny!? Dude is a clown and its great. He reminds me of the comedian Bill Burr!

[@BenSmith-lm9yb]

Another amazing video, you lads are sooo lucky to play all these courses. Thanks for sharing them with us.

[@Saltybeast86]

Awesome content Erik! I love watching these mini-documentaries. Keep ‘em coming. I can’t wait to play Pacific Grove this weekend now 👍

[@aaronhamby3088]

EAL thanks for putting in the work. Keep going!

[@MrEeyor3]

This was AWESOME!!! Kudos for the footage and the editing job as usual is kick ass!!

[@TheGENNAVE]

Probably the best golf video I ever watched! Fantastic work gentlemen.

[@SwimCoach8]

Amazing. What an epic layout and scenery. Thank you so much for the great videos and assembling such a great crew. Now for the rub........Two shoulder replacements in as many years.....The sticks have been hibernating nearly four years. I gotta go lose some golf balls this season!!!!

[@cranium33333]

Another absolute classic by the Lang Crew! What a course what a video!! Thank you my guys!

[@TroyMacLean]

His videos are top notch 👍

[@beachfraser3747]

Im going to Scotland to play golf, you guys have shown me just how magical the place is!! Stunning!!

[@jezswallow9801]

COOOOOL! Even more!

[@Golficity]

Pretty much as good as it gets 👏🏻🙌🏼

[@eazyz2233]

Loving it man

[@GolfGod954]

This is a sick video! You guys obviously had the best time. This was definitely prime Erik!

[@johnstupart1211]

I think I got TB just watching Colt shuffle through that.

[@andrewinglis45]

Another fantastic video

[@scptguy19]

Opening sequence 👌🏻

[@michaelmunding9712]

Great episode!

[@g0ste]

I really like the time difference here... just as i am winding down for the night, EAL uploads a video :-)

[@markpeterson3220]

I played Royal Aberdeen, Cruden Bay, Royal Dornoch, and North Berwick this month. Royal Aberdeen front nine was the best 9 hole sequence. The back 9 at Berwick and Dornoch are equally good to my taste. Berwick and Cruden Bay are tremendous golfing fun and quirky/endearing.

[@attackhelicopter2473]

Dude, so I absently mindedly clicked on your video, and was like "oh wait i want to watch ***** instead, i'll get back to this." Then the music started, couldn't stop... Money-my-man. keep it up. Love your channel!!!!

[@nathanrose6845]

The job by Reiten to turn junk footage and somehow weave it into the story of the round was awesome as was the intro!

[@jamesewart2335]

Such a good edit boys!!!!

[@GetBetterGolf]

Erik as always your videos are sick! Im sure you get this a lot but you're a fantastic story teller. I forget Im watching youtube videos when I watch your content. Will play a round one of these days. What up snowball!

[@TimG--]

Sick!!’

[@shanedunning4466]

Great video man

[@TYodaT]

Fantastic Foxy Finch!

[@Leftylobber]

Pacific Grove! Sick Name Drop. Best muni in America

[@dawson8477]

the editing on these is amazing

[@bobzubb]

seriously...? self indulgent piffle, quickness of edit detracts from getting any narrative understanding...

[@Spacepen2002]

I was introduced to Murcar Golf Club which is adjacent to Royal Aberdeen by a friend some 20 yrs ago. As a relatively new player I will never forget standing on one of the Tee Boxes and asking “Where’s the hole”. My friend pointed out into the distance over the heather and said “see that white post over there, aim for that but whatever you do don’t go left and don’t go right. Cost me a small fortune in Balls 😂😂😂

[@EoinG10]

Please bring out MY GUY merch

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

Now thats what golf is all about :)

[@maxmacdonald4440]

Love seeing my hometown on RGC

[@mikecrowley9773]

Awesome video

[@cscheatum]

Erik, you have to try and play at Tralee Golf Club in Ireland. It’s a breathtaking links course as well.

[@derekdeshaw5762]

4 years younger than America ;) great great work on this! I’m a huge peter finch fan too!

[@grantjansen2437]

Damn I cannot wait to get back on the course. Working at a indoor driving range is nice n all but this snow needs to go now!

[@jacobdavis5453]

Lol you guys were so right about Stu getting the hole in one

[@3232jrob]

Watched too many golf videos on KZbin so I got out and played yesterday wind was blowing like dirty miles an hour and the high was like 12ﾟ lol but I got my fix to hold me off for another week or 2

[@tiredofhangingaround]

Without doubt my favourite 9 hole stretch ever. Also how about that first tee shot right in front of the members bar?

[@seandeg]

Duuuuude I need that turqoise pullover. Forever jealous of your apparel.

[@Amit1270]

So cool to watch you guys, please do come to India too, next month (March 28-31) we have Hero Indian Open (European Tour event) at DLF Golf and Country Club (18-hole by designed by Gary Playe) and original 9-hole by Arnold Palmer

[@thebooferster]

Having seen Stuart's apexs. What's in the bag would be a nice edition for the vlogs

[@shepstar20]

its insane this has 50k view and not a 100 likes. Cmon people smash that thumbs up for this guy and his amazing, high quality vidoes

[@jimrohnstock9913]

Finch looked left out. Nice video and would love to play there

[@emerysnap]

looks very awkward. I reckon shiels and finch resent the hell out the yank who looks like he should be in The Strokes

[@StrudlePie]

Can't believe its been 5 Years!!! Can you guys come try some more?! Maybe spread them out Better Hahahaha

[@ryanalt379]

that intro before the video was insane

[@chrisrichards7037]

Great video, I think Scotland should be using you as their official tourism ambassador. Oh, and can you hurry up with the editing, so we can see the rest..👍

[@TheXanUser]

of course the caddie has to get in back. ;)

[@martinreay7740]

Eric, are you coming to Spain? Great courses here?

[@daniellopez5481]

How do I watch be the ball or when does it come out

[@perkyb1213]

When I die, i'm going heaven and it will be much like your life on earth, Erik.

[@thatsballer]

Oh boy

[@jeremyhyland5562]

C5 was oddly correct for neck pain Colton 😂

[@derekdeshaw5762]

Red beard = Irish Tyler Tony from dude perfect!

[@jamesmccarthy5312]

The auto generated captions have absolutely no idea what to do with Stu’s Scottish brogue. The results are hilarious. Sick apparently is captioned as SEC. Very funny

[@Gigity1107]

The single toughest back nine I've ever played. Three 9s on par 4s in the back. And that was after shooting 82 the day before at St Andrews Old course. TBF, the gale force winds didn't help.

[@tranceaddict1882]

May I suggest some Ace Cam zoom on the green, so we can see the balls hit?...

[@tarancourchesne1947]

fuckinloved this episode

[@landog606]

Was Finchy on a talking ban during this round?

[@TroyMacLean]

😂seems so🤷‍♂️

[@bigjmal]

Thank god.

[@Chazthefurr]

Too much chat on this episode. Usually just right but maybe having 7 guys playing was a bit of a liberty. Royal Aberdeen is a great course - all 18 holes, with several wonderful holes on that first nine. Think the first three, eight and nine are just outstanding.

[@ACOUPER100]

Best course in Scotland

[@matthewbarno1661]

This makes me want to move to Scotland to play these courses

[@jacobryan7991]

was this before or after peter played bay hill?

[@henrywhittley8292]

whats the intro music called?

[@emerysnap]

Peter "standing awkwardly" Finch

[@commane21]

No dead cat for the mic? Wind is crushing.

[@Andrew_Acker]

So now how do I play Royal Aberdeen when I’m there in June...

[@MarksGolfVlog]

The course is open to the public. If you go to their website, I think it’s in the video description. There’s a visitors section, it tells you which days and tee times are available to non-members of the club. You can then email or call to request a time.

[@NTX35]

Couldn't quite make out Stuart's feelings about this course. Did he enjoy it at least a little bit?

[@noahthomas4341]

dude had rona haha

[@SilverfoxThe]

This is my part of the world, and RAGC (to me) is the best course in the area. BTW - I've aced the 8th with the pin in the same place as you played it. Shame you didn't have the light to finish.

[@carlsadventures8414]

🙌🏼🤙🏼🏌🏼‍♂️

[@mjsgolf7004]

Will Colt ever recover ! Those Scots have ruined him and he's not even had a deep fried mars bar yet. Another course added to my list

[@mortenlothe6893]

#FeetThePinch

[@nicklorusso5898]

Did Colt come down with the Flu?

[@jessereset10]

This gets an 8.5/10. Not enough Finchy

[@alanjordan6198]

Why is Colt wearing a kids hat?

[@johnrajkovic6749]

Erik mate , your friend had Covid 19.....wtf

[@ewanmacfarlane9195]

See if any old joe turns up and tried bundling 7 boys down the first somebody would just come out of the shop and tell you to sort yourself out.

[@stevelubbehusen5842]

How sick is it that Stuart can just drop the Scottish accent and go full Americano at the drop of a hat....LOL.

[@keithlordofalbascotland3371]

Not for the working man to expensive

[@markscagnetticon]

let's hope you or anyone else does NOT support Trump Aberdeen. what he did to the local residents to build that course is shameful. I support almost every piece of content you produce, but can't support someone playing Trump Aberdeen. Look for the documentary about it called 'You've Been Trumped' on Netflix/Hulu or other streaming platforms. Not a plug or an ad, just FYI.

[@biondinx]

Come on - lets keep politics outta this thread! FYI - the local residents of Aberdeen are stuck in their ways and will always happen when change is needed but what he's done with that piece of land is nothing short of exceptional.

[@davidforman6191]

The vast majority of residents in the area were for the golf course. Not so keen on the proposed housing that accompanied the project but to date that hasnt been built yet. The land was used for bird shooting prior to being bought for the development and contributed little to the local economy. While some of the business practice has been quite aggressive and the shielding of the course severe most folk in the area arent that bothered. The ideal would be that Donald sells it so we can get a big tournament held there and put the Aberdeen area on the golfing map. No fan of trump myself but the course could hold the Open or Ryder Cup. While Trump owns it there wont be any, sadly.

[@Baldrick99]

@@biondinx if you mean he did an exceptional job of destroying an SSSI then your right.

[@DrakeyDistiller]

So more of courses, less of people, Stuart needs to work on his comedy/give it up.

[@Tso007]

just shot 39 round front 9 👌🏻👍🏻 off 13 hdc
