Great show - love how Cousin Mark lines up towards the trees, hits the trees. Goes back to the tee - lines up towards the trees - hits the trees again. It's a festival of recognition!
When I watch these videos, I feel like I'm listening to Jim Nantz if he had a sense of humor. Also, Liz is a legend and I love that Mark is an 18 handicap and somehow thought he could break 90 at Pinehurst #2 from the tips!
Yeah when he said that I audibly laughed. The tips on a US Open course are typically in their own area code. Pinehurst is no exception. As a 16 from the tips I'd be aiming to go below 120 and I would certainly fail.
I think it’s almost funnier that Chris started his goal at 80…. I don’t think he’s broken 80 constantly let alone do it at pinehurst 2 from US Open tips
@@jampavalunbisitsang1657 No, Chris set his goal at breaking 90, but even that was gonna be near impossible, especially since I truly don't believe he's a legit 8.
@@darrylyee409 I meant his original target before he changed it haha and agreed I think he has good game but highly doubt he’s a 8. Even though he is playing with cameras, crowd and a hard course. He’s very inconsistent with a lot of clubs. Still a strong golfer with only being year 3

@ Mark PArish I have a different take - he does it totally unconcsiously - whether he hits a good shot or not. He is not trying to seem better than he is.
Oh man, I was with Mark in the bunker in spirit. Haven’t seen that much agony on a beach since Normandy. Keep your head up Mark. We’re rooting for you!!!!
This series is sooo good man! Big respect to the media team in capturing everything so well! I would love to be a part of this but I feel I won’t be breaking anywhere 90 😂
No, it just shows you what many good players have to deal with in terms of overestimating their capabilities and then trying to shoot scores that are self-defeating. The clear message to me is that if the were not so aggressive in setting their targets during play, they would actually play better and score higher. It's like the difference between playing a round with a 9-iron and with a 2-iron. We carry 14 clubs in our bag to give us a wide variety of shot options for different circumstances during the round. None of that matters if you consistently pick poor shots to even attempt. If you're just not good enough for the shots that you try to make, and you consistently try to make such shots...it's simple, your score is going to reflect that. Being a PRO golfer is a whole 'nother level of skill on top of that. Now you're talking about playing inside of 10 strokes off the pace or in the top half of the field. But to even get to THAT point you have to win a Tour card. And that means that you're in the top 3 in Q school, out of 60+ guys all trying to get their Tour card. Then you get to try to keep your Tour card, meaning that you're in the top 125 or so of players on the PGA money list. Most players have no clue of what it means to be that good. And you definitely aren't seeing it with videos of people who can't *easily* break 80 from a Tour tee. To get a Tour card through Q school you have to shoot in the 60s from tournament tees while playing 36 holes in a day. Imagine walking 3 rounds of golf inside of 2 days and shooting in the 60s each time from PGA Tour tees. I think this series does nothing more than expose the poor judgement of players that think they're good and do have decent physical talent with a golf-club. But if they're on this series, they're nowhere near a pro player. A pro player would come out and walk the course, first, and then literally break 80 with little to no trouble. These guys just show up and literally declare they will break 90. They have zero chance to do that.
I third that King Chav. We are planning a golf trip there next year and everyone is debating if they want to spend the extra jack to play #2 and I say, why waste my money...
I have had the 'pleasure' of playing Pinehurst No 2 once and those greens really do absolutely destroy you. This video is good because it really shows you just how brutal they are. You can hit what seems like the perfect approach only to find yourself off the back or short sided in a bunker which only adds to your pain as you have an impossible up and down - reality is it's often a lot more than that. I'm off an 8 handicap and it made me look like a total novice at times. True golfing flagellation
I rarely laugh out loud to golf videos, but your reactions to your cousin knocking wood all over the place had me chuckling pretty good. Love the series. I would love to be a part of it one day!
I can't tell you how much I enjoy this series. The commentary. The golfers. The courses. The caddies. Everything.... Favourite line this time, "Pinehurst is such a passive aggressive golf course". Brilliant
Loving each and every one of these. Uncle Mark also cracks me up, fully embodies the mentality of "all that matters is the next one." You're a genius EAL!
There should be a series in which the best scorers from each play level and each "Break" series play in a tournament setting, or tournament bracket against each other. I would definitely watch. After watching all the series you almost get attached to some of these players and you want to see more of them with this production value. Incredible content. Thanks RGCF crew!
This is the gold standard for golf vlogs. Quiet, insightful commentary, an amazing and difficult venue, and golfers we can all relate to. I cannot wait for the back nine.
The text message commentary was the best and so relatable! "And then you kind of wish you didn't have her number in the first place" Good shit...keep the great content rolling!
Every time I watch these episodes it just blows my mind on how entertaining and well produced this is! Amazing job by everyone involved and already looking forward to the back 9 guys!
Brilliant video!! Great to see the different levels of golfer on show… maybe nerves or got into a bad rhythm but Chris did not look like an 8 handicapper just from a pure swing and ball strike perspective. More of these though please. So entertaining!!
Love the series. Cameras and an unfamiliar championship course can double (or more) a handicap. As an almost 60 year old, would love to do this. Just have the 7 second/cuss button ready.
23:03 is the most realistic part of this whole episode. Between Chris' absolute brain fart of a swing and EAL's commentary you've shown and said everything you need to know about golf - and a prime example of why rule 17b is the most important rule in the (unwritten) book.
The only time I ever get jealous in my life is always watching the breaking series! Not only do they get to play some of the greatest course but they get to meet EAL!! The commentary is just so good! Really wish I could play a round with EAL, hopefully one day ❤️
Omg!! The texting story hits home like hot coco and toast !!!! When that thing sits on read for over a week… its time to give up but mama didnt raise no quitter !!
Love the series!!! EAL, I also love to see the ink on the course. I'm always getting looks by the old timers because of mine.👀 If you ever get up near Fort Hood we'll have to play.
One hole in and already shaving strokes off Cousin Mark's score. His 6th shot on 5 is ejected way off the green and then magically, he has a putt for 7 from the middle of the green. That's a very kind foot wedge at work.
Watching it back makes it even more hilarious...Mark probably made a 12 from where his ball was but they cut the cameras so obviously 4 of those shots didn't happen
@@TheKrbergen what does a RGC have from intentionally shaving strokes? Isn’t that kind of the point of breaking series? It doesn’t matter what you shoot?
just found the channel - this is awesome. EAL's commentary is sooooooo good. I would like to see how he would describe following me around for 18...lol.
The one caddie that talked about screen door caddied for me their last Oct., great caddie! We played a customer scramble and shot -15, not from the tips.
Favorite series on youtube. Quality. And hey now that yall in Austin there are a couple great courses up here in East Texas worth checking out! Pine Dunes, Pinecrest (My Club in Longview), Tempest and WIllowbrook. Keep up with the great content!
You have to love Chris comes on RUclips and declares he is a 8 handicap and proves he is more like a 20 handicap. Then he Tiger twirls the most horrible golf swings over and over. Mark is a gamer. Struggled but continued with a great attitude. Liz is a good golfer. Played well on that beast course. I’m from N. Carolina and have played #2. The greens are a nightmare and sticking one from the fairway is very difficult.
Mark made 9 on hole #five. One in, two out. Three off the tea. Four was the punch shot back into the middle of the fairway. Stroke 5 was a hooked seven wood from 288 into the trees on the left. Number six was a decent shot that landed on the green but rolled way off. Seven was the pitch to about 25 foot. And finally a 2-put for 9.
His 6th shot was shown missing the green to the left and then he is putting for double bogey? Two scoring (counting) mistakes in the 1st five holes. That's pretty bad, unless cheating is "par for the course" at the Random Golf Club.
I couldn't stop laughing at EAL's texting analogy that extending into the party story. The best use of an oddly specific metaphor I've ever seen for a golf scenario. 😂
Pinehurst #2...awesome clubhouse, great history, beautiful layout, top class service and facilities. The green complexes are just no fun and basically unfair for anyone that’s over a 2-3. Hardest golf course I've ever played. Count on shooting 15 strokes (minimum) above your handicap.
Great series. I find it funny that Liz is worried about her Mom seeing her new tattoos, but not concerned about hearing her drop f-bombs all over the place. LOL
I really enjoy this series and getting the appreciation for just how dang good the pros are. But I'd kind of like to see these players play from more appropriate tees to see what it would look like for them. The yardage definitely hurts them, but would be cool to see how amateurs perform on a tough course with a caddie helping to guide them.
Great show - love how Cousin Mark lines up towards the trees, hits the trees. Goes back to the tee - lines up towards the trees - hits the trees again. It's a festival of recognition!
Persistence.
Lol right?? He looks like he is lining up sooo far right in every shot man! I’m like screaming at my phone for him to adjust his alignment. Haha
I resembled this remark lol
To be fair...he hits a draw/hook almost every shot.
Cousin Mark is a stripe show! Played w him today.. tight draws all day.
This series is gold but EAL's commentary makes it platinum!
Mark definitely disowned him after this round.
Agreed...I said it before, EAL's cerebral Jim Nance commentary makes you feel like you're wrapped in a warm blanket
So true

She’s also really annoying
Can we appreciate 4:26 and how smooth Tom booted that pinecone off the fairway in stride
HAHAHA I never caught that!
It's episodes like these that show you what it really takes to be a professional golfer. It's definitely humbling.
No, it just shows you what many good players have to deal with in terms of overestimating their capabilities and then trying to shoot scores that are self-defeating. The clear message to me is that if the were not so aggressive in setting their targets during play, they would actually play better and score higher.
It's like the difference between playing a round with a 9-iron and with a 2-iron.
We carry 14 clubs in our bag to give us a wide variety of shot options for different circumstances during the round.
None of that matters if you consistently pick poor shots to even attempt.
If you're just not good enough for the shots that you try to make, and you consistently try to make such shots...it's simple, your score is going to reflect that.
