Royal County Down: Great (Greatest?) Front 9
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 янв 2020
- Erik Anders Lang and Golf Channel correspondent, Alexandra O'Laughlin, are in Northern Ireland to play Royal County Down Golf Club. Surrounded by dunes, ocean, and mountains, Royal County Down is said to have the best front nine in all of golf. This course has been world ranked #1 and is Rory McIlroy's favorite track. Erik gets some tips from head pro, Kevan Whitson, before heading to the first tee. Yardage books are key at this Tom Morris designed course. Opening in 1889, Royal County Down is one of Ireland's oldest golf clubs.

I was caddying on the day you played. I seen you bomb one up the middle on the first as I was on the 9th green. Hope you enjoyed your experience of RCD
Love how this channel does not just course vlog and focus on the score but instead the beauty of the course in a cinematic way.
One of the best golfing channels on RUclips which truly shows the beauty of golf
Hey Erik, as someone who played a little college golf and got a bit disenchanted with the whole golf world and took a few years off, I really appreciate your style of videos and outlook. You definitely had a big part in me getting back into the game full on. I love the style of your videos and your alternative take of the golfing world. Thanks, man! Keep making the videos!
Totally agree with this. I'm a former high school golfer and single digit and took 3 years off due to starting a business and not enjoying the game as much. These videos brought me back!
sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Kingsley Mohammed instablaster ;)
@Jayson Ares Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Jayson Ares it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
Hooray! More Alex!
That swing on 2 is maybe the best I have seen you make. Especially after that sermon on blind fairways.
Erik's Q and Alexandra's Datejust... ohhh my
Masterpiece again. Stop the onslaught of goosebumps. This is RUclips. I’m not used to seeing content this good.
That's a bucket list course.
love seeing the progression of his swing through his videos
Great round! One of my favorite channels
Took a walk around that course a few years back, was as the hotel for a friends wedding. REALLY wish I had the possibility to play! Looks freaking lovely!
Beautiful. Love the appreciation you guys always show for the moment. That cinematography is top notch as usual, and makes me feel like I'm back in the Isles.
beautifully produced and the same lovely "feel" of the Scottish tour videos, awesome
the sound of the ice-cream van in the back round 5:12s, must be the same tune every ice-cream van has in northern ireland love it!!! if your from NI you will know what I mean!!
Man, E, are you guys ever on time? Lol
One of the best edited videos in a while, so good! Great to have a video featuring Alex, as well.
Prettiest looking golf video I think I’ve seen. Thanks for taking the time to knock it together so well
This may be the best golf vlog ever...keep up the good work.
I know it's one of the greats, but still love seeing Erik get super excited to play new courses even though he's been at the world's best.
Classic Golf Course, stunning mountain scenery, the ocean and playing golf with a beautiful woman, Mr Lang I have no idea how you cope!
I was fortunate enough to play there and I would say it may be the most beautiful course I’ve ever seen. Views are amazing.
I don't live far away from this course...maybe some day! 🙏Beautiful cinematography, content & golf course. Love it Erik. ❤️👏👏👏
Just finished ep 236 of the podcast, and two years later, re-watching this video takes a whole new meaning, to your content, to golf in my own mind. To the world as we see it, through our lens. Beautiful sir, simply beautiful.
That trajectory at 0:30 :)
Looks like a great challenging course!! Great golf vlog Erik!!
Happy New Year Eric ;)
Looking forward to another year of random golf
Awesome vid Erik, great to see and hear more from the gorgeous Alex too 👍
Alexandra's fairway wood draw at 9.47👌#BucketListGolf
Love these kinds of videos. Keep it up, man!
Love the camera work !! 👌👌❤🏴
Played it in 2001.....squalling all day with about 25 Knots of wind, about 5 degrees centigrade...bought rain pants in the shop....I was one of about 5 people on the course, went to the starters hutt to pay and the lady behind the counter said in a broad NI accent with a wry smile.....”ah you’ll get to see her at her best today”....took out my trusty 3 wood and smashed it up #1, why not another, followed by a blind 9 iron into the centre of the green, lipped out for birdie......after taking my time and plotting my way around tapped in for 78.....I have been fortunate enough to play most of the Open Courses, and many of the other classic links and County Down is as good as any of them, in a setting that can be equaled by few......for a golfer there are very few things that can match the feel of crisply struck irons from genuine tight links turf coming of a forged blade (my weapon of choice for this trip was a set of Hogan Apex the last of the genuine Hogan’s before Callaway got their hands on Hogan)......oh to be in my early 30s again........great memories........
2 Awesome golf swings 😎🤘🏌️⛳️
happy new year. great video & wonderful camera work. Thanks
Amazing as always!
Love the content Erik!!!!
Thanks Erik
What an amazing looking course. Know a few people who have played it, and raved about it. Can see why. Get on the list, RCD!
It is the greatest golf course I've ever played. If I only had one course to play for the rest of my life it would be this one,
This course looks like a true Gem. Man I gotta get out to Ireland and get some stick time in. Great episode as always 👌
@CMB 🤫
I remember your posts at the time and was worried it was Royal Dornoch all over again. I only live a few miles away but have never played the course. Hopefully I'll see you around if you ever come back.
New viewer here. Really enjoying the quality, humor and skill displayed in these videos. Thank you!
Stunning. That is all!
Scheduled to play there this summer. Can't imagine it's better than Old Head. Old Head is truly magnificent. Until I play it I'll believe that it's at most the second best course in Ireland.
Beautiful golf course, great video! What a coincidence that your best videos are the ones you do with Alex ... :-)
the putt reaction at 9:05, man I felt that
Such a great video
Your videos inspire me to want to be better..I love golf, but you make me love the game
Beautiful
And why would there be two thumbs down...? Haters steer clear you fools! Absolutely stunning course!
5:22 "If you don't love a blind second shot, perhaps you don't love life itself" - philosophic poetry gold and what a great attitude to life!
I made three eagles after blind second shots myself, so yes, I do love blind shots :)
Haha same! Lahinch is a great joy with the blind shots.
I remember 2 great blind shots at Old Mac in Bandon. Like discovering a hidden treasure.
lucky you guys got nice weather too
What else can you say but WOW!
Power move with that Timex, I’m chuffed to bits
Great traveler he is
Im gonna say it... its the best golfing channel, cant argue!
Stunning shot by Alex at 9.48
That masters gt is so sick and classic erik!
Great video! Royal County was the best experience I’ve had on a golf course. One tip if you go: EAL was not exaggerating about all the blind shots. Get a caddie they’re well worth it! Plus the caddies at RCD are incredibly funny and great company
I love the Lahinch comment, I am from Clare and played the championship course multiple times. The 4th and 5th holes there are spectacular. I now have the pleasure of living in San Diego and playing the South Course of Torrey a few times a year.
You ever want to play, hit me up.
A keeper. What a swing. Obviously talking about Alex.
what a fantastic video
they both seem to swing their club, stop, then continue with the swing just to hold & pose their follow through! A real coached idea! adorable 😄
Last time I looked at subscriber count it was like 30 or 35k. Congrats on 80K+!
Newcastle is an amazing town too. This is the nearest golf course to me lol.
The fizz of them two 4 iron shots near the start of the video might be the best sounding golf shots I've ever heard
I played Siloth Golf Club Cumbria in UK it's links and listening to the Pro talking about his Dogs, I experienced this at Siloth after Tea Time I walked across to look at the course and to my surprise a guy teeing off with a sheep dog lying down on the Tee soon as the guy hit his ball the dog ran after it and lied down besides the ball all the way around but when he got to the green it sat at the side off the green, unbelievable you have got to love golf.
This is a special place. Best first 13 holes in golf surely!
Just played two rounds at RCD - amazing.
happy friday everyone!
Great video Erik. No biggie but at 11:58 you are at Royal Belfast GC not Royal County Down. Once again thanks for a great video!
Love the video. Is there a reason Royal Portrush GC is shown at 11:51?
Hey Eric, such a great video as always! Would really dig to see a video with you and Karl Vilips (WAGR #18!!!), both ambassadors of taylormade and content creators for youtube! Cheers!
" I can't even read a yardage book to be honest with you " , I nearly spit out my drink haha great stuff
so good
Are you there now? Jan 2020? weather looks great, must put this on the never ending bucket list
This was in July I think. Before the open.
best golf channel by far!!!!!!
Hey Eric u should try and play Ballybunnion its one of the most beautiful courses I have ever played
I think the views always go up with Alexandra in the videos!
Rare sighting of Alex!
It’s a great course and there are great walks nearby up the Mournes or the local beaches. Also try Royal Portrush which is equally as good.
Small editing mistake with the Royal Belfast GC logo near the end of the video.
RCD is a breathtaking place, both courses are beautiful. Play them both. The championship course is tough, especially the 1st time around. Many don't enjoy the blind shots so I recommend playing it at least twice in a short period of time. Go play Ardglass as well when your there, Northern Ireland's pebble beach.
great course
Great course, played there in ‘08 and we are going again next year. Did you hit off the Lady’s tee on 2? 🤔
You must come play in the garden route in South Africa.i promise you won’t regret it.there are some of the nicest courses you’ll ever see
That sound at 7:29 is beautiful
Hey man if your still in Ireland you should travel south and give dromoland Castle course a play 🇮🇪🏰😊
The showers in the club house are even better than the course believe it or not. Was a different level.
Timex Q! Nice!
Use guys have to come and play in Kilkeel, the course is a 10 minute drive from royal County Down, it’s a fantastic park land course and the British Pro Am qualifiers are held
This dude really has the life
Alexandra - wow.
Does anybody know the song at the very end of the video?
I virtually have no talent and don’t golf but I do want a job working for you!
When was this shot? Northern Ireland in a t shirt in January is unheard of. Firm fairways? Was this shot around the time of British open?
No way, there's people on the beach
i'm dying to play.
I have a golf dog who has walked Turnberry, troon, western gailes,old Prestwick Carnoustie , St Andrews and Royal Dornoch
Who shows up 7 min before there tee time to a course like that range? Putting green? Change into shoes and golf clothes?
Snickers ZN the kind of people who get to play these amazing courses for a living
what power cart are they using here?
Front 9 at RCD is the greatest 9 in golf. Period.
This video is relationship goals
So did you like playing it? What did you score?
rad my guy
