These episodes EASILY deserve a spot on Golf Channel. They're so professionally shot and directed all while being genuine and authentic. Keep up the phenomenal work Erik. Each video y'all put out makes me want to drop everything and play a round.
@@DonLounsbury That's interesting because I live in Dundee which is exactly inbetween both courses, my course (Downfield) was a final qualifier for the Open at Carnoustie.
I told someone in Ireland I was Irish. He told me the USA is the only place in the world that doesn't understand the difference between ancestry and nationality. He said, "No you're an American of Irish ancestry, not Irish."
@@DonLounsbury well that someone sounds pretty stupid, because of course you don't think you're actually from ireland. what he said is literally what you meant, you were born in america yet you have irish roots.
If you’re there you need to play the Macrihanish golf club, absolutely incredible, first tee shot is hitting straight over the bay and it’s amazing from then on. Plus their clubhouse burned down last year and they need all the support they can get👍
This episode was a lot of fun to watch. You seem to have a really great sense of just the right amount to show to set up the story without it getting too long winded. Makes for great pacing. It's wild to see a golf course like this with virtually no trees but as the teaser for next episode hinted, beware when the wind blows.
I’ve done exactly the same tour 7 years ago. Rented a Morgan and drived around some hidden gems as Machrihanish, Siskine and Prestwick. Greatest golf of my life.
Absolutely need to visit Scotland and these courses. The people seem amazing and the courses seem stunning. Thank you Erik and Alex for providing this content to view these courses before going and experiencing them.
this is one of my favourite golf courses and golf experiences we where there on a Saturday night middle of summer 4 good friends a 6 hour hour round just taking everything in, another of the must play if you come to Scotland
So glad your playing the old course, I took my parents over a few years back as my Mum was a war (WW2) evacuee there. Played both courses and the old / the real course is just spectacular. What a trip (we’re now in the North East of Scotland), it’s a brute to get to but so worth it.
Love your channel Erik, you and whoever it is that helps you with your vids deserve all the best in the golf, cinematography and life highlights applicable!
Eric, all your episodes are amazing with a great balance of showing the course scenes, nice music and interesting comments. I really enjoy watching the episodes and can just envoy on your job :)
These films are just terrific. Shiskine, Mach Dunes & Machrihanish GC all feature in my book, The Golf lover's Guide To Scotland (as does Dunaverty GC, which is just 20 minutes down the road from Campbeltown). It's great to see them all captured so wonderfully. Looking forward to next week's instalment and the rest. Keep doing what you're doing!!
So good as usual. That blind green was amazing looking! Alex's putt that rolled all the way back less so. HA HA! Great stuff. Scotland has been on my bucket list, but every episode bumps it up a few notches.
I like the Machrihanish golf club's logo with the bird. So cool! Also, amazing how long these courses have been around. Cool to think about people playing a century ago.
This video is awesome! I got goosebumps as I once stayed in a B&B visible in the drone shot at 1:40. I played Machrihanish Golf Club when I was there, which is another awesome track. In your opening tee shot, you hit over a little inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks, Erik, for bringing back some awesome memories. Your videos really bring out the best in golf and the golf community.
Yet another top echelon post Erik. As if I wasn’t enough in love with the game of golf, (admittedly a little hate too,) each of your vlogs makes me love it more. The quality is bar none. Add Alexandra and there is no match! Keep posting and I’ll keep watching.
Loving the videos, incredible to see parts of Scotland I’ve never been to. Can I just say though having lived here 3 years I have NEVER seen it this sunny 😂 let alone twice, as it was in your last vlog too. If you can visit all the time and bring that LA sun I would be most welcome. Love Sam sat in 14c Edinburgh in July...
I played there a few years back and the police officer was my caddy! 😂 so awesome to see them again and see their doing well. What an awesome course that was
Random Golf Club Films haha that’s gold, he definitely did his best, but I’m not used to the winds and blind shots. I also stayed in the same place as you guys, what a flashback. Awesome video. My Facebook profile picture is me hitting into the ocean there.
I like beautiful things in life .. I'm Irish I've never once played a Scottish course but my god u don't half sell them in your videos. Your camera work is next level and your content is so entertaining and natural well done yank 🤭
Great content Eric. I played Machrihanish as a lad - played 36 holes then nearly crashed the car on the way home as we were so tired. (fun fact - the backup landing strip for the space shuttle was adjecent to the golf course iirc)
Wonderful golf course! The last time I asked for Haggis the way you pronounced it in a supermarket in Angus, I was shown the egg shelf ;) It goes along with "hug" - say "Huggis"! And it's delicious - loved to have it for breakfast, instead of Black Pudding :o)
Man I never though I would pay that much for a golf glove, but Asher limited one was worth it after trying it on, plus it looks cool. These course have been amazing to see you play.
Machrihanish Dunes fact one: The Sheep logo you see on flagsticks are actually part of the greenkeeping team at the course. At certain times of year you can see them on your way round. Fact two: Mach dunes was built on a National Conservation site, this meaning that when the course was built, there was no use of any heavy equipment to shape the land and layout of the course.
@@RandomGolfClubFilms if you ever make it up here don't skip on the prairies, especially elk ridge resort in saskatchewan. boreal forest golf at it's finest.
I appreciate the music EAL uses in his videos. Fifty years ago there was a group called "The LA Jazz Cats." Their sound was similar to the background music in these videos. Thank heaven a cut above the groaning, gasping and cooing robo music that is under many golf videos.
Would like to see you both play a 18 hole match!! Maybe two 9 hole videos!! At least no one had to eat the haggis or did you really eat haggis nachos lol?
Had my tee time booked for the Championship Course booked on May but oh well we know the rest of this story. Plus the day we were supposed to play was no wind and 26 degs. Bugger
Disclaimer: I have no idea how to correct this, but the audio this episode seemed a bit off. The mic recordings had a lot of background noise, and the preview clip for the next episode had tons of clipping due to wind. I'm not sure what the proper solution is but I hope someone in the comments could make a few suggestions!
Course looks amazing but not sure about the tricked up greens with swails and hollows all over them! Getting to the green is hard enough without having overly large buried elephants under the greens!
People... when someone says “an easy 3 iron” they aren’t saying the club is easy to hit. They are saying hitting it softer than you normally would. Maybe you hit your 3 iron 220 normally but the shot is 210... an “easy” 3 iron would get you there.
These episodes EASILY deserve a spot on Golf Channel. They're so professionally shot and directed all while being genuine and authentic. Keep up the phenomenal work Erik. Each video y'all put out makes me want to drop everything and play a round.
They deserve a spot but I’d rather have them on RUclips just sayin
When you guys get engaged, you should throw a RBP Random Bachelor Party, thank me later.
I love the way an American just loves our beautiful country
Love might be an understatement
@@RandomGolfClubFilms you too right
Yeah yeah yeah we get it Scottish courses are better 🙄
I was supposed to play Carnoustie yesterday, and the Old Course again today. Really bummed. Love Scotland
@@DonLounsbury That's interesting because I live in Dundee which is exactly inbetween both courses, my course (Downfield) was a final qualifier for the Open at Carnoustie.
Yeah, real “unfortunate” you “missed” that putt to win so that she wouldn’t have to eat that nasty dish 😂 I see you Erik
I can't believe I'm Scottish and I've never been here, just checked Google and it's a 4 hour drive for me - guess I'll have to book a trip next week!
I told someone in Ireland I was Irish. He told me the USA is the only place in the world that doesn't understand the difference between ancestry and nationality. He said, "No you're an American of Irish ancestry, not Irish."
Have fun bro

Do you play golf club?
didnt expect to see cub here! whats this?
There are so many things about these videos that are wonderful. Don't want to talk about them... just want to watch. Thanks Alexandra and Erik.
I could listen to you narrate and watch Alexandra play golf all day.
I’ve done exactly the same tour 7 years ago. Rented a Morgan and drived around some hidden gems as Machrihanish, Siskine and Prestwick. Greatest golf of my life.
Those drone shots are absolute fire! The deer at the start! 100% Production value!
I was wondering how silent the drone must have been for the deer not to bother...
The two Scottish policemen just sitting and having coffee at the golf course were awesome
I have played Machrihanish old, unreal course can't wait for the next video. It has the best opeining hole in golf!
Absolutely need to visit Scotland and these courses. The people seem amazing and the courses seem stunning. Thank you Erik and Alex for providing this content to view these courses before going and experiencing them.
If you have a bucket list, these should definitely be on it!
@@RandomGolfClubFilms Noted!
10 years? Looks like it's been there forever, in a really good way.

Love that you're doing another Scotland series, I'm going over next year and these videos get me so excited.
i wish i had erik's game- with the girls
Alex is 1000% head over heels for you. No ifs ands or buts.
I really enjoy watching your videos. You made me find a new love for the game

Haggis will be my new word for when I duff a shot.
Oh man, played the Dunes course when it opened. Great memories.
I can't wait to see the episode from the Machrihanish Golf Club! That one is a bucket list item for me!
I feel totally transported to a far off land watching the Scotland Diaries. Keep up the good work on these videos!
Wow what a cool course. It's crazy that it's barely 11 years old since it has that classic Scottish look of much older courses.
These films are just terrific.

Nice to meet Alexandra and Erik when you were at the dunes. Hope you come back and visit again soon
Love the 2 episodes with Alexandra, need more of them Eric

Absolutely loving the Scotland diaries, these courses look amazing. Definitely some of the best golf content on youtube. Keep it going.

Another great video. Many thanks
Looked like a spectacular place! Awesome!!
Touring Scottish golf courses with a tall drink of water with a pretty err, golf swing. I can only hope this is what heaven is like.

Such a great vid again! Thanks man!
Looks amazing! Keep grinding bro and don't let her get in your head during comps! ... that's the real challenge to manage 😎👍😁

Reminds me of playing in Iceland. My favorite place I have ever played golf at.
Bucket list

you two are rad.
"I think I'm going to take an easy 3 iron..." I love the confidence, the way golf should be played. You are my spirit golfer.
Great content Eric. I played Machrihanish as a lad - played 36 holes then nearly crashed the car on the way home as we were so tired. (fun fact - the backup landing strip for the space shuttle was adjecent to the golf course iirc)
Honestly working for erik would probably one of the best jobs ever
You missed a trick not having haggis. It's really nice.
8:14 “the ideal competitor” more like “ideal wife material”
Naaah...i am thinking the same.
Was in Scotland last year... Haggis is delicious!!!
Wonderful golf course!
The last time I asked for Haggis the way you pronounced it in a supermarket in Angus, I was shown the egg shelf ;)
It goes along with "hug" - say "Huggis"!
And it's delicious - loved to have it for breakfast, instead of Black Pudding :o)
How are finding so much sun in Scotland? The last two videos is a years worth of summer north of the border 😂
The production is sick
Having lived in the area for a bit, hearing it pronounced town instead of toon is freaking me out...
Single folks, find someone who looks at you the way Alex looks at EAL! What an absolute stud!
Man I never though I would pay that much for a golf glove, but Asher limited one was worth it after trying it on, plus it looks cool. These course have been amazing to see you play.
Can’t believe I’ve just found your Scotland videos I stay in Glasgow
Being from Scotland, it upset me when you said “thankfully” for not having to eat haggis😂
Would recommend dunavarty golf course down the road if you guys are still in the area, much shorter but a good course none the less 👍
Second that, its a brilliant course! He’s already played it though, hopefully one of these episodes will be on it

Would LOVE to see you come to Canada sometime!
Likewise. There are so many incredible courses throughout Canada!
@@RandomGolfClubFilms Cabot Cliffs for starters
hows the golf there?

Amazing Eric great video
Haggis sounds scary, but it's delicious, well worth a try.
Awww. You both should have ate some of it!
Enjoyed this one, as always great content - well produced,
You GOTTA get the Haggis!
I was supposed to be traveling there from England to play both courses this week, after first being out east to play the old course, oh well next year
Black tees matter EAL, great vlog buddy. Love the competitiveness in the air. The course is beautiful.
Haggis is actually pretty good.
Erik the true gentleman as always "Oh I missed" 🤷♂️😏
I appreciate the music EAL uses in his videos. Fifty years ago there was a group called "The LA Jazz Cats." Their sound was similar to the background music in these videos. Thank heaven a cut above the groaning, gasping and cooing robo music that is under many golf videos.
I feel like I’m going to have to do a Golf and Whisky trip up to Scotland
Do them seperately in my opinion, you'd ruin a lot of the golf experience just by being hungover everyday after enjoying a malt too many.
Only time I ever had decent haggis was in Scotland... missing out if you don’t eat it.
Sooo real question is if they had one room or two!
Would like to see you both play a 18 hole match!! Maybe two 9 hole videos!! At least no one had to eat the haggis or did you really eat haggis nachos lol?
Had my tee time booked for the Championship Course booked on May but oh well we know the rest of this story. Plus the day we were supposed to play was no wind and 26 degs. Bugger
Great content
Really don't understand why all north americans are afraid of Haggis... It's delicious...
I see Alexandra and I click. Period.
Eat your haggis! I just love the old Mac course.
God I wish I was on this tour with you guys.
Que du bonheur....it's only pleasure !
Thanks!
Dude! Thanks, Briscoe! THANK YOU!
@@RandomGolfClubFilms You bet. Keep it up!
Erik 🐐
erik, how are you not wining by playing with alexandra?
It'd be cool if you showed a shot tracker on your golf shots.
She has the best laugh.
Haggis food of the Gods.

I’ll be honest I was rooting for a tie so hard
The dunes is good, but Machrihanish old is better. Nice place, campbeltown. Did you go down to the mull of kintyre?
Haggis is actually pretty good. :)
"David Maclay text......middle finger emoji"......LMAO.
BRO!! Date her! Ahh! It's killing me.
I think they actually are
They are for sure pumping
They are
Beau Ortiz really?
Ummm, yeah.
