Can EAL Break 90 from 8,200 Yards? - Front 9

  • Опубликовано: 8 дек 2020
  • Erik Anders Lang takes on another Break 90 challenge, this time at one of the longest courses in the world. The Ross Bridge golf course, found on the famed Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, seems like it was built not by Robert Trent Jones - but by Bryson DeChambeau.
    Ross Bridge tops out at 8,200 yards, which is almost 2,000 yards longer than the tees an average golfer would play from. To play the course from the tips is to drastically shrink anything you’ve come to know about your own golf game. The greens are enormous, the elevation changes are drastic, and the fairways are exaggerated beyond belief. The only small thing on the property is you.
    See how Erik does in the first half of this course vlog, and check back in next week to catch the back nine. It just might come down to the final hole.

    The reality of my golf game vs my expectations is what always brings me back. I love the challenge. I adore my good days and have never let my bad days get to me or bring me down. I try to look at each bad shot as something to try and not repeat again which is of course impossible in the eyes of the golf gods. Never the less it's definitely a part of my life that I always look forward to doing at each and every opportunity and knowing that I may never be any better than average doesn't bother me one little bit. I'm not playing to become perfect, I'm playing because it is perfectly fun.
