Love how this channel does not just course vlog and focus on the score but instead the beauty of the course in a cinematic way. One of the best golfing channels on UA-cam which truly shows the beauty of golf
I was caddying on the day you played. I seen you bomb one up the middle on the first as I was on the 9th green. Hope you enjoyed your experience of RCD
Hey Erik, as someone who played a little college golf and got a bit disenchanted with the whole golf world and took a few years off, I really appreciate your style of videos and outlook. You definitely had a big part in me getting back into the game full on. I love the style of your videos and your alternative take of the golfing world. Thanks, man! Keep making the videos!
Totally agree with this. I'm a former high school golfer and single digit and took 3 years off due to starting a business and not enjoying the game as much. These videos brought me back!
sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Jayson Ares Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Just finished ep 236 of the podcast, and two years later, re-watching this video takes a whole new meaning, to your content, to golf in my own mind. To the world as we see it, through our lens. Beautiful sir, simply beautiful.
Played it in 2001.....squalling all day with about 25 Knots of wind, about 5 degrees centigrade...bought rain pants in the shop....I was one of about 5 people on the course, went to the starters hutt to pay and the lady behind the counter said in a broad NI accent with a wry smile.....”ah you’ll get to see her at her best today”....took out my trusty 3 wood and smashed it up #1, why not another, followed by a blind 9 iron into the centre of the green, lipped out for birdie......after taking my time and plotting my way around tapped in for 78.....I have been fortunate enough to play most of the Open Courses, and many of the other classic links and County Down is as good as any of them, in a setting that can be equaled by few......for a golfer there are very few things that can match the feel of crisply struck irons from genuine tight links turf coming of a forged blade (my weapon of choice for this trip was a set of Hogan Apex the last of the genuine Hogan’s before Callaway got their hands on Hogan)......oh to be in my early 30s again........great memories........
the sound of the ice-cream van in the back round 5:12s, must be the same tune every ice-cream van has in northern ireland love it!!! if your from NI you will know what I mean!!
Scheduled to play there this summer. Can't imagine it's better than Old Head. Old Head is truly magnificent. Until I play it I'll believe that it's at most the second best course in Ireland.
5:22 "If you don't love a blind second shot, perhaps you don't love life itself" - philosophic poetry gold and what a great attitude to life! I made three eagles after blind second shots myself, so yes, I do love blind shots :)
I love the Lahinch comment, I am from Clare and played the championship course multiple times. The 4th and 5th holes there are spectacular. I now have the pleasure of living in San Diego and playing the South Course of Torrey a few times a year. You ever want to play, hit me up.
Beautiful. Love the appreciation you guys always show for the moment. That cinematography is top notch as usual, and makes me feel like I'm back in the Isles.
Took a walk around that course a few years back, was as the hotel for a friends wedding. REALLY wish I had the possibility to play! Looks freaking lovely!
Great video! Royal County was the best experience I’ve had on a golf course. One tip if you go: EAL was not exaggerating about all the blind shots. Get a caddie they’re well worth it! Plus the caddies at RCD are incredibly funny and great company
I played Siloth Golf Club Cumbria in UK it's links and listening to the Pro talking about his Dogs, I experienced this at Siloth after Tea Time I walked across to look at the course and to my surprise a guy teeing off with a sheep dog lying down on the Tee soon as the guy hit his ball the dog ran after it and lied down besides the ball all the way around but when he got to the green it sat at the side off the green, unbelievable you have got to love golf.
I remember your posts at the time and was worried it was Royal Dornoch all over again. I only live a few miles away but have never played the course. Hopefully I'll see you around if you ever come back.
Small editing mistake with the Royal Belfast GC logo near the end of the video. RCD is a breathtaking place, both courses are beautiful. Play them both. The championship course is tough, especially the 1st time around. Many don't enjoy the blind shots so I recommend playing it at least twice in a short period of time. Go play Ardglass as well when your there, Northern Ireland's pebble beach.
Hey Eric, such a great video as always! Would really dig to see a video with you and Karl Vilips (WAGR #18!!!), both ambassadors of taylormade and content creators for youtube! Cheers!
Use guys have to come and play in Kilkeel, the course is a 10 minute drive from royal County Down, it’s a fantastic park land course and the British Pro Am qualifiers are held
Golf in Ireland is spectacular. I have never enjoyed golf more than my time at Royal County Down...including Pebble Beach. With all due respect...this video...any video... cannot do this course justice. It's just "different" than the rest. Do yourself a favor and experience RCD.

@Jayson Ares it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
Masterpiece again. Stop the onslaught of goosebumps. This is UA-cam. I’m not used to seeing content this good.
That swing on 2 is maybe the best I have seen you make. Especially after that sermon on blind fairways.
Classic Golf Course, stunning mountain scenery, the ocean and playing golf with a beautiful woman, Mr Lang I have no idea how you cope!
Just finished ep 236 of the podcast, and two years later, re-watching this video takes a whole new meaning, to your content, to golf in my own mind. To the world as we see it, through our lens. Beautiful sir, simply beautiful.
I was fortunate enough to play there and I would say it may be the most beautiful course I’ve ever seen. Views are amazing.
I know it's one of the greats, but still love seeing Erik get super excited to play new courses even though he's been at the world's best.
Hooray! More Alex!

Prettiest looking golf video I think I’ve seen. Thanks for taking the time to knock it together so well
I don't live far away from this course...maybe some day! 🙏Beautiful cinematography, content & golf course. Love it Erik. ❤️👏👏👏
beautifully produced and the same lovely "feel" of the Scottish tour videos, awesome
the sound of the ice-cream van in the back round 5:12s, must be the same tune every ice-cream van has in northern ireland love it!!! if your from NI you will know what I mean!!
love seeing the progression of his swing through his videos
And why would there be two thumbs down...? Haters steer clear you fools! Absolutely stunning course!
Scheduled to play there this summer. Can't imagine it's better than Old Head. Old Head is truly magnificent. Until I play it I'll believe that it's at most the second best course in Ireland.
It is the greatest golf course I've ever played. If I only had one course to play for the rest of my life it would be this one,
5:22 "If you don't love a blind second shot, perhaps you don't love life itself" - philosophic poetry gold and what a great attitude to life!
I made three eagles after blind second shots myself, so yes, I do love blind shots :)
Haha same! Lahinch is a great joy with the blind shots.
I remember 2 great blind shots at Old Mac in Bandon. Like discovering a hidden treasure.
Im gonna say it... its the best golfing channel, cant argue!
One of the best edited videos in a while, so good! Great to have a video featuring Alex, as well.
This may be the best golf vlog ever...keep up the good work.
What an amazing looking course. Know a few people who have played it, and raved about it. Can see why. Get on the list, RCD!
Man, E, are you guys ever on time? Lol
I love the Lahinch comment, I am from Clare and played the championship course multiple times. The 4th and 5th holes there are spectacular. I now have the pleasure of living in San Diego and playing the South Course of Torrey a few times a year.
You ever want to play, hit me up.

Erik's Q and Alexandra's Datejust... ohhh my
Awesome vid Erik, great to see and hear more from the gorgeous Alex too 👍
they both seem to swing their club, stop, then continue with the swing just to hold & pose their follow through! A real coached idea! adorable 😄
Love the camera work !! 👌👌❤🏴
Took a walk around that course a few years back, was as the hotel for a friends wedding. REALLY wish I had the possibility to play! Looks freaking lovely!
New viewer here. Really enjoying the quality, humor and skill displayed in these videos. Thank you!
Great video! Royal County was the best experience I’ve had on a golf course. One tip if you go: EAL was not exaggerating about all the blind shots. Get a caddie they’re well worth it! Plus the caddies at RCD are incredibly funny and great company
That's a bucket list course.
This course looks like a true Gem. Man I gotta get out to Ireland and get some stick time in. Great episode as always 👌
@CMB 🤫
Love these kinds of videos. Keep it up, man!
Beautiful golf course, great video! What a coincidence that your best videos are the ones you do with Alex ... :-)
The fizz of them two 4 iron shots near the start of the video might be the best sounding golf shots I've ever heard
Your videos inspire me to want to be better..I love golf, but you make me love the game
Beautiful
I played Siloth Golf Club Cumbria in UK it's links and listening to the Pro talking about his Dogs, I experienced this at Siloth after Tea Time I walked across to look at the course and to my surprise a guy teeing off with a sheep dog lying down on the Tee soon as the guy hit his ball the dog ran after it and lied down besides the ball all the way around but when he got to the green it sat at the side off the green, unbelievable you have got to love golf.
Newcastle is an amazing town too. This is the nearest golf course to me lol.
I remember your posts at the time and was worried it was Royal Dornoch all over again. I only live a few miles away but have never played the course. Hopefully I'll see you around if you ever come back.
happy new year. great video & wonderful camera work. Thanks
the putt reaction at 9:05, man I felt that
A keeper. What a swing. Obviously talking about Alex.
That trajectory at 0:30 :)
Last time I looked at subscriber count it was like 30 or 35k. Congrats on 80K+!
Power move with that Timex, I’m chuffed to bits
Great traveler he is
Looks like a great challenging course!! Great golf vlog Erik!!
Stunning shot by Alex at 9.48
I think the views always go up with Alexandra in the videos!
Alexandra's fairway wood draw at 9.47👌#BucketListGolf
Happy New Year Eric ;)
Looking forward to another year of random golf
" I can't even read a yardage book to be honest with you " , I nearly spit out my drink haha great stuff
2 Awesome golf swings 😎🤘🏌️⛳️
best golf channel by far!!!!!!
Small editing mistake with the Royal Belfast GC logo near the end of the video.
RCD is a breathtaking place, both courses are beautiful. Play them both. The championship course is tough, especially the 1st time around. Many don't enjoy the blind shots so I recommend playing it at least twice in a short period of time. Go play Ardglass as well when your there, Northern Ireland's pebble beach.
This is a special place. Best first 13 holes in golf surely!
The showers in the club house are even better than the course believe it or not. Was a different level.
Just played two rounds at RCD - amazing.
lucky you guys got nice weather too
Love the video. Is there a reason Royal Portrush GC is shown at 11:51?
Amazing as always!
Who shows up 7 min before there tee time to a course like that range? Putting green? Change into shoes and golf clothes?
Snickers ZN the kind of people who get to play these amazing courses for a living
It’s a great course and there are great walks nearby up the Mournes or the local beaches. Also try Royal Portrush which is equally as good.
Are you there now? Jan 2020? weather looks great, must put this on the never ending bucket list
This was in July I think. Before the open.
Hey Eric, such a great video as always! Would really dig to see a video with you and Karl Vilips (WAGR #18!!!), both ambassadors of taylormade and content creators for youtube! Cheers!
That masters gt is so sick and classic erik!
Great video Erik. No biggie but at 11:58 you are at Royal Belfast GC not Royal County Down. Once again thanks for a great video!
You must come play in the garden route in South Africa.i promise you won’t regret it.there are some of the nicest courses you’ll ever see
What else can you say but WOW!
Such a great video
Front 9 at RCD is the greatest 9 in golf. Period.
what a fantastic video
Thanks Erik
happy friday everyone!
Love the content Erik!!!!
Use guys have to come and play in Kilkeel, the course is a 10 minute drive from royal County Down, it’s a fantastic park land course and the British Pro Am qualifiers are held
Stunning. That is all!
This dude really has the life
Great course, played there in ‘08 and we are going again next year. Did you hit off the Lady’s tee on 2? 🤔
Not gonna lie. He’s got a pretty pure swing
Hey Eric u should try and play Ballybunnion its one of the most beautiful courses I have ever played
I virtually have no talent and don’t golf but I do want a job working for you!
I have a golf dog who has walked Turnberry, troon, western gailes,old Prestwick Carnoustie , St Andrews and Royal Dornoch
That sound at 7:29 is beautiful
Does anybody know the song at the very end of the video?
“As you walk down the fairway of life, you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.” - Ben Hogan
MindOverGolf infinity is a long time, each experience is unique, but thinking there is only one life is a bit foolish.
I love Hogan. His quote is false.
Steve Fowler smelling the flowers was Walter Hagen.
Chris Mayor yes!
@@chrismayor2612Changing my profile name to, DirtyMindOverGolf
Royal County Down is truly one of the best if not best in the world… with wind blowing it is the hardest
Hey man if your still in Ireland you should travel south and give dromoland Castle course a play 🇮🇪🏰😊
So did you like playing it? What did you score?
Rare sighting of Alex!
Golf in Ireland is spectacular. I have never enjoyed golf more than my time at Royal County Down...including Pebble Beach. With all due respect...this video...any video... cannot do this course justice. It's just "different" than the rest. Do yourself a favor and experience RCD.
How do these people not know that this is one of the top courses on the planet????
great course
the real question is are Alexandra and Erik dating??
Isn’t the guy married?
Tommy Symer not any more.
I've wondered. For them I truly hope so, but a good friendship through golf is a dope consolation.
Quick Rolex flex checking the Tee Time
Snoop Ginger that is a Timex Q. Similar looking though
DrStraightZero ahhh damn I should’ve known lmao
tudor
@James Campbell just rewatched, he must take the cheap one on holidays
lol. My Tudor was having the date wheel fixed. Love my timex q tho!
When was this shot? Northern Ireland in a t shirt in January is unheard of. Firm fairways? Was this shot around the time of British open?
No way, there's people on the beach
I no longer feel bad about showing up 8 minutes before my tee time 😂😂
