- Description: For the final stop on this Scottish Isle journey, Erik Anders Lang and Alexandra O’laughlin head north to play the Machrie Golf Links on the Isle of Islay, which is more popularly known for its whisky. The Machrie was originally designed in 1891 by Willie Campbell and masterfully redone by DJ Russell in 2017 to give this Scottish beauty a second chance at greatness. It blends historic nostalgia with modern vibes on this revived classic Scottish links. Turn off your mind and tune in for the finale of the Scottish Diaries.

Recently found your channel and i'm hooked. The way you capture your love and passion for the game of golf is refreshing and captivating. Don't stop Erik, you're a legend
Thanks so much for commenting. We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the content we’re creating. It’s what keeps us going!
👏👏
I love how much the background music fits in with every vid. I’ve just started noticing it.
This channel epitomizes the true spirit of golf, in my humble opinion. Travel, experience, companionship, sport, healthy competition, and above all, FUN. You’ve helped me understand the game with your videos, Erik, and I’m extraordinarily grateful
2:10 - “Uh yeah I’m kinda into it...”
Eric I last played Machrie as an 20 Yr old....promised myself then I would be back...now 40 years on I have to fulfill that promise ⛳
A redo that looks like it's a century old. What a course. Thank you sir!
Just getting back into golf after 10 years, and after discovering Erik and these videos, I'm getting into golf more than ever! Keep up the awesome work.
Sublime, love this short film, so authentic. It completely captures the essence of golf in Scotland.
From one Lang to another, keep up the great work! Always enjoy your videos and seeing your next adventure.
Definitely the best golf content on RUclips. Keep it up Eric & the Team 👍
Amazing series of vids of scotland especially for me where it is still on my bucket list. And I love to see you and Alex playing as she is having an incredible swing and is so sympathic. Go ahead and make more of this. thanks.
Erik I share this channel with everyone I know who golfs, please don’t stop this, this is what golf needs
After 30 years of golfing. 10 of which I've been mad at the game and just not enjoying it at all. But I must say that these videos and you Erik have ignited the fire again. I got the bug and I found the love for golf again. The love I felt in the 90s when I started playing is finally back. I mean I hit a shank on the first hole today and I kinda went, "meh, coulda been worse. Thank you and keep doing epic content.
What a mesmerising, captivating piece of film. Amazing channel.
Another amazing series. I've got to get to Scotland for a big birthday year next year. Needs to happen. After reading Coynes books it's just planted the seeds
That drone shot at 8:43 is one of the coolest shots Ive seen in your vlogs
Very lucky to live in Scotland and have a static caravan in St Andrews. Brilliant video Erik, and look forward to meeting you one day
damn. I've been to scotland for my first time last october and those videos make me crave it even more. Loving those less knowns courses too. thanks
Loved this one, best stop on you Scotland tour yet.
Coolest person in golf didn’t let us down with this video! Great stuff
Awesome content. Definitely fueling my love for the game!
Love golf & big fan of Islay whiskey..... Perfect place for future trip ..... Erik again fantastic content
Another beautiful video, many thanks Rod
My family is from Islay.... Such a special place, glad you enjoyed it.
Great video Erik. Should have been going for the Men's Open in May this year. Next year - fingers crossed! Definitely whets the appetite.
Sorry t see this series end. Good stuff
Really happy you got here ... I used to holiday at The Machrie Hotel as a kid ... 30 years ago (in the cottages you see at the RHS of the final drone shot).
This was (is) a very special place and I am very happy about the favorable review. (Your idea of a week playing golf, eating soup and then playing some more golf is pretty accurate BTW ... I did this when I was 15 ... often past 10:30pm).
I am desperate to get back and play the redesign ... as DJ Russell is highly accomplished.
Hopefully someday soon.
P.S. The old logo was just as good :-).
I love The Machrie, and I love this video. I truly do. But it's "Eye-luh."
Awesome!!!!!!!
Definitely smashed.
Wow! Just wow 🤩
Screw the whiskey though when there’s a course like that to play!
Your channel is Vibe, love it, makes me want to start my own
The most underrated youtube channel on planet earth
Love the content, keep it coming! Would do almost anything to play a round with you!
I'm a friend of bill too buddy, love it
hola!!! la verdad imprecionante video lo disfrute ansioso de el siguiente grabación me retiro les dejo besis gracias
First!
Love the channel. Keep it up and get those RGC Vice Golf balls back in stock!
Thank you for getting here early! We're working on new designs for RGC x Vice to be released soon.
Wow Ben is such a humble guy!
That drone shot with the ball from coming at it from the tee - quality
Stayed there last year while working on the island, the hotel and restaurant are amazing. Unfortunately only manged to hit balls on the range and the short game area out front, though will be back for a round on the course.
You better put a ring on it!
This is more awesome
Watching this being narrated by EAL and a ad for Vice golf balls narrated by EAL comes on.... dying :) “the thing about Vice Golf balls is...”
Wow. Wow. Wow.
I’m only here for Alexandra 😂
Looks like it's changed massively since I played it about 10 years ago
Ben's swing is pure af
Is Stuart filming this series? If so, hats off to him. Great shots all around. Great Videos.
How lucky you met that brilliant chap randomly
haha. u have met the only person who doesn't know who u are in the whole world eva !! so yr here for the golf. yeah yeah. very nice Erik, very humble. this is why Netflix is picking u up.
That Gucci driver cover is nice haha
Just sitting here listening to my guy say “hhwhesky” over and over.
Love the accent.
Hearing they changed the Willie Campbell golf course completely...it is now off my bucket list. Sorry but it made the ground sink away under my feet a bit. Required reading all golf books by Finegan.
A beaut!
Erik Islay is pronounced Isla. Your best vids are in Scotland, I bet you're missing it this year. The LET re-starts tomorrow at Renaissance with the Womens Open the week after at Troon so you can get some Scottish golf via the screen this year !
if you want to play one of the most beautifgul and tough golf courses
--> South of France : Terre Blanche!!
and also South of France : Golf de Barbaroux! :)
Very very nice courses
Yes you should/must go back to Islay, but you have to visit the distilleries (it would be rude not to)🥃🏌️♂️
You have inspired me to start playing golf myself
That’s awesome bro, all are welcome.
Thanks man yeah my grandpa just got me a set of clubs for my birthday and I wanna start playing more
@@james-pedroburkett4782 Incredible! It's a beautiful sport, and we're excited for you to begin your journey.
James-Pedro Burkett what kind of clubs?
Just a pair of Arnold Palmer clubs he has, but just something to get me started and to see if I like the sport and then I will advance to some better clubs
Relaxation... HA! i wish
Love the golf shoes Alexandra is wearing. Any chance letting us know the brand. Great content. Makes me love golf even more.
GFore
Who makes your videos and what luts do you put on them because this grade is amazing!
Our editor cuts the video and we have a custom LUT that we use!
Got say as a Scot it's a sin going to Islay and not visiting a(ll) Distillery!!! 🥃⛳
Can we get Colt to do a break 80 episode with shot tracers? That kid has a great move!
Answer - Turnberry
Sold
Alex!! Oliver Twist wants his hat back.
Can anybody please tell me what song they use in the intro at 0:35 and the outro song? I cant find them anywhere!
When do your P700s come in? Are they shipped yet?
What jacket is EAL wearing during the round?
Really holding those finishes lol
When the cameras on baby you gotta show up!
Add the bucket hats in the RGC shop please I would I’ve to buy one
Restock is coming soon!
Random Golf Club Films yessss I can’t wait
I really wish I could go golf with these 2. Been playing my local course for 5-7 years and it looks like a lot of fun to travel and golf. Money and covid are the only factors that stop me from going anywhere for golf.
try the ardbeg, its very peaty and smokey
You guys dating yet? Hard not to close after a trip like this
When you come back you must go to the neighbouring isle of Jura for the new Ardfin links - which could be the best course in Scotland (though a mite expensive to play & stay) Go on have a look at this video of every hole ruclips.net/video/Pkzk7xK-18A/видео.html
Is there a tour operator that can be used?
Donnie at the start... 🙂
Erik and Alexandra definitely broke up mid-way through this trip. They were hardly even talking by the end of this series
Does anyone need to talk playing such wonderful places?
You think so? I was just surfing the comments to get the scoop there. Def some vibes
Were they legit together? I know nothing about them and watching this series got the impression he was clapping her cheeks.
When was this filmed
Last summer
Hey Erik, what golf shoes are your lady friend using?
Btw it’s produced eye-la instead of eye-lay
You should offer your own golf package. You would sell out fast
Is this guy Dax Sheppards brother?
yo bro, ask her out
Fairly certain he did like a year ago.
Chap who's family owns the course is English, what a surprise.
We like the English here, particularly those who realise what an amazing country Scotland is and come and settle here.
What’s your point? If they have a love for Scotland and golf it makes sense
@@jimgavin1726 my point is that a large proportion of the private land in Scotland is owned by rich English families that profit from the land immeasurably at the expense of poor working class Scots.
Does he ever play golf on these???
Who is the lady friend?
Sooo are you and Alex a thing orrrr.....
I think I’d rather meet Erik than Tiger
Next time you're in Scotland give me a shout and I will get you on my course for free
Wow she’s a smoke show wife that up Erik
It's a sad truth that rich English families own large amounts land in Scotland and the islands. Kinda disconnects the local area and people from the land.
Yep, Highlands and Borders and full of English retirees.
Who’s the woman
Golf Channel correspondent, Alexandra O'laughlin.
What are the chances that you’d run into Harry Potter? And who knew he’s a stud golfer?? One point, Gryffindor!
I love Scotland, but you reeeaaally have to earn it, just takes so long to get anywhere
Erik, as cool as ever. as ever. Drone footage - breathtaking. Stewart? Where the hell was Stewart.?
Unfortunately this set of videos paled in comparison to the the unofficial, official tour of Scotland. None of the camaraderie, energy and joy of those films. And, dare I say it you playing partner was nothing more than window dressing.
This video says it all. English owners, Irish pro and a “club” for tourists not for locals. All in all a corporate video.
Bring back Stewart, Colt and Galloway!
Lets face it, you can't be properly into golf if you don't know who Erik is!
"Did you grow up on the island" the guys got a cockney accent ffs.
how is anyone who isn't British supposed to know that. Gtfo
Sadly, Americans don't like Links courses...
yes keep the camera on the Erik-ego...humble down mate, you are soooo overly smarmy American... truth. Sorry. Just observation.
