    Your production team deserves a serious round of applause for this piece. What I found most impressive was the Incredible amount of research that supported the audio script (voice over). For a passionate golf enthusiast like me interested in “going deep” to learn the details of Royal Liverpool, this piece conveyed loads of information related to course architecture, history, and the natural environment. For someone who’s been in love with the game since the age of 6, this video revealed so much about golf architectural terminology and philosophy that I just wasn’t aware of.
    Thanks Golf Digest and to your announcer for presenting fascinating and premium content on RUclips. This piece really-really spoke to the inner golf geek in me!

    This video series is awesome. The drone viewpoint helps to showcase the scenery and layout and the narration is superb. My one complaint is that the lack of ground level views means that we never really get to appreciate what the golfers will actually see (or not see) - there will be a lot of holes where golfers won't know where their ball finishes until they get to the fairway or green. The new 17th is a great example of the visual challenge of Hoylake if you watch Padraig Harrington playing it on The Open channel. ruclips.net/video/QmlmBIsWsGA/видео.html

    This course looks like a beast. Hitting a ball out of one of the traps looks like a nearly impossible task. If the wind is blowing it is likely more than a few strokes will find their way into one of those.

    Unpopular opinion, most English links courses and open championship venues are unenthusiastic and boring quite frankly. They all fall back to the ‘heritage’ aspect which is another factor that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual physical course.

      @ollykail88 Год назад +2

      It also helps that they are so wide open that they can accommodate lots of fans that want to watch the open - sadly some of the best English courses can’t host an even the size of the open.

    • @Skumtomten1
      @Skumtomten1 Год назад +3

      Playing a links course in a strong wind is in my opinion the most fun you can have in golf. It is how the game was originally played and you can see why. The hard, sandy surface of pure links golfs makes the ball roll hard and smooth which allows for many different types of shots unlike a park course. Wind adds an entirely new element to the game and makes it much more fun in my opinion. With no wind I can agree that it won't be too exciting though.

    • @tomhadfield5595
      @tomhadfield5595 Год назад +2

      Perhaps British links courses don't look as good on TV as other major-hosting courses, but year after year the courses deliver exciting tournaments with deserving champions. If some years the courses look a tad on the easy side due to benign weather, that's because growing the rough up to US Open lengths or having the greens rolling at 13 on the stimp would result in a course that was completely unplayable if the winds got up to 30+ mph - see the '99 and 2008 opens if you think they're easy!

    • @fenixrising75
      @fenixrising75 Год назад +5

      A tiny short hole on 17 with a small green & a unique OOB feature on a par 5 finishing hole sounds entertaining to me.
      Like many links courses, until you're at ground level you don't appreciate the dunes, humps & hollows.
