This series is the best. Gets me so hyped for majors
Love these fly through overviews - definitely engages us as fans ❤❤❤
Best major of the year
Your production team deserves a serious round of applause for this piece. What I found most impressive was the Incredible amount of research that supported the audio script (voice over). For a passionate golf enthusiast like me interested in “going deep” to learn the details of Royal Liverpool, this piece conveyed loads of information related to course architecture, history, and the natural environment. For someone who’s been in love with the game since the age of 6, this video revealed so much about golf architectural terminology and philosophy that I just wasn’t aware of.
Thanks Golf Digest and to your announcer for presenting fascinating and premium content on UA-cam. This piece really-really spoke to the inner golf geek in me!
One of the best things to look forward to when majors come are these videos
The photography for this particular EHA might be the best yet. The course looks ridiculously beautiful.
Great video. Love this whole series, in particular in advance of a major. Thank you Golf Digest
This is a great series..makes me really look forward to the Open...the last 2 finishing holes are brilliant...can't wait for next week.
we are so lucky in the uk to have real golf like this
These videos are SOOOOO good. Do these for every major please!
I played the course with a member in August 2022 and am going to Friday's play next week. The 17th hole will be very entertaining - I ended up in the right deep bunker and played a great shot out....into the left one.
The front 9 looks so pedestrian but starting on 10, you are like, wow, okay, yeah this course is awesome, especially the new 17th - a thing of beauty.
The 17th is the one that really caught my eye, stunning!
And if you keep you ball left on hole 18, that one too isn't such a challenge.
its actually not. They are destroying history and making it look like a resort course. But so few people respect the history its understandable how you think it looks better
Erm Hoylake is not 10m NORTH West of Liverpool, because that's The Irish Sea.
It is about 10m West, on dry land.
This video series is awesome. The drone viewpoint helps to showcase the scenery and layout and the narration is superb. My one complaint is that the lack of ground level views means that we never really get to appreciate what the golfers will actually see (or not see) - there will be a lot of holes where golfers won't know where their ball finishes until they get to the fairway or green. The new 17th is a great example of the visual challenge of Hoylake if you watch Padraig Harrington playing it on The Open channel. ua-cam.com/video/QmlmBIsWsGA/v-deo.html
Praying for high winds!
I am willing to bet that many pro's and caddie's who will be there this week have been studying this video since it's release date.
Great, and very informational video!!
Well done!
This was incredible!! Thanks!!!!
Wow, amazing video and aerial views. Thankyou.
This course looks like a beast. Hitting a ball out of one of the traps looks like a nearly impossible task. If the wind is blowing it is likely more than a few strokes will find their way into one of those.
I live for these videos
Thank you 🙏
Thankyou, that was excellent.
Brilliant content. Thank you
Great video
thank you looks a real challenge in the wind
These videos are great
18th looks brutal can't wait to watch
ooh the 17th and 18th is going to be fun!
There is a New Bunker on the 1st at around 320 not shown in this video,also on the right at the 16th.
17 looks cool, but doesn't look like it belongs with the rest of the course.
agreed, links courses are kind of obsolete. Any challenging holes look different than a links course hole
@@ahsanulaudri4261lol
@@ahsanulaudri4261 Obsolete? Please...🤨
@@ahsanulaudri4261 🤡
@@ahsanulaudri4261Links courses are not obsolete.
They are gonna light this place up. 17 looks cool though.
#FANTASTIC
cool video
What drone is used to film this masterpiece? @golfdigest
FLAT EARTH
17 looks scary
Beautiful course, talk to your ball, hoping that it will follow 😂
underrated venue
10 miles SW of Liverpool not NW
Hole 3 (#1 for the members) is my vote for the best bunkerless hole in golf.
You’re vote would win if I was making this UA-cam comment in the year 1873
10 miles north west of Liverpool would interesting. Middle of the Irish sea😂😂😂😂
that's a long course! I don't know how they hit it that far!
Links is not my favorite as I like to have some trees and water in play, but nevertheless I love a course that integrates the natural features of the property it sits on.
real golf.
There won't be drought conditions this weekend. It's gonna be a wet one.
'no 3 is the most frightening hole in championship golf' but in 2014 there were only 7 doubles or worse in the whole tournament (every hole had at least 4 doubles)
Is it just me, or is there a slight static behind the voiceover?
Rory will tear this place up
It's south west
Played it last year with 2014 sunday pins played well shooting +3 (3 handicapper) in tough conditions very underwhelming course not a patch on the rest of the Liverpool and Southport courses sadly
Yep Birkdale it is NOT😢
Yeah birkdale for me is the best course the open plays at....but Hoylake is still a pleasure to play
The first 9 holes look really simple to me (whs hcp 15,1). Professionals should really go low on these holes. I hope the next 9 holes look a bit more challenging!
FYI It’s west of Liverpool, not North West.
Ron needs to replace David Attenborough when the time comes. Great narrator.
How can that 520yd. Hole on the front 9 be a par 5…the pros will be hitting it with 5 & 6 irons for their seconds.
These days the only Par 5’s for the pros should be holes over 600 yds.
If the wind stays down, the pros are going to murder this place. -18 in 2006… -17 in 2014
It’s going to -20 now at least.
It’s sad to see courses like this be made obsolete.
Obsolete?🥴 Please!
In both 2006 and 2014 there was hardly any wind, still they didn’t break the record for lowest score.
Also, just because thee pros might shoot slightly too low scores, doesn’t make it obsolete for the rest of us.
Average winds will be 30 mph or 50 kph most days, so could be tricky; the rough will be up too. -12 winning score
@@timrobinson6893 how much is the rough up
Necrotic and Fairy Ring in the greens really make them ugly at times
2014 was wet not a drought
This course should be renamed "Lucifer's Garden."
Every Hole at Royal Liverpool Golf Club LOOKS THE SAME
2 bunkers on the front of almost every hole. I understand you don't want them to run it up but come on now lets some creativity! 15 under is the winning score !!!!
Luckily to play Hoylake last year with a few members who are prem refs that I know.....and wow just stunning. Its stunning and flippin hard 😂 especially if its windy
Unpopular opinion, most English links courses and open championship venues are unenthusiastic and boring quite frankly. They all fall back to the ‘heritage’ aspect which is another factor that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual physical course.
This one I'd agree with but there are some great English links courses.
It also helps that they are so wide open that they can accommodate lots of fans that want to watch the open - sadly some of the best English courses can’t host an even the size of the open.
Playing a links course in a strong wind is in my opinion the most fun you can have in golf. It is how the game was originally played and you can see why. The hard, sandy surface of pure links golfs makes the ball roll hard and smooth which allows for many different types of shots unlike a park course. Wind adds an entirely new element to the game and makes it much more fun in my opinion. With no wind I can agree that it won't be too exciting though.
Perhaps British links courses don't look as good on TV as other major-hosting courses, but year after year the courses deliver exciting tournaments with deserving champions. If some years the courses look a tad on the easy side due to benign weather, that's because growing the rough up to US Open lengths or having the greens rolling at 13 on the stimp would result in a course that was completely unplayable if the winds got up to 30+ mph - see the '99 and 2008 opens if you think they're easy!
A tiny short hole on 17 with a small green & a unique OOB feature on a par 5 finishing hole sounds entertaining to me.
Like many links courses, until you're at ground level you don't appreciate the dunes, humps & hollows.
Links course are generally very bland and non descriptive.
looks boring. open should be in scotland
Links courses just don’t do it for me. Terrible on the eye.
thank you for sharing your opinion
I find them very interesting and beautiful! Luckily, there are courses for both of us. 🙂
This one I would agree, but some others are a lot more scenic, Turnberry is a beautiful brilliant golf course.
@@davidfoster2006 Turnberry and Ballybunion are spectacular courses!👌🏼 Liverpool might look bland, but it sure is quite a test.
Yet here you are watching a 17 minute video of a links golf course 🤣🤡🤡🤡
Just awesome looking forward to this year's Open 🏌♂️
Yanks can't get anything right. Its not 10 miles North West of Liverpool.
