    Everything about this video is amazing, inspiring, and puts golf into context. I, like many, over complicate, over analyze, and get caught up in the unimportant, while losing sight of the point of this amazing game. Go out, have fun, meet people, and enjoy the experience! If that means playing with a $500 driver, a persimmon driver, or hickory clubs, great!

    Really enjoyed this, Especially the comments about "only 9 holes" at the end and I totally agree. 9 very interesting holes that can be changed around is perfect for some great golfing experience. I wanna come down now and play there with Patrick with my real woods. Great video and a beautiful course ! well done boys.

    Learned the game on a nine. Playing a short tight nine with water on four holes prepared me for every round I ever played on a conventional layout. Putting on large fast greens built in 1932 (Thank You Milton Hershey) taught me everything I needed to know about putting. So........Nothing wrong with a good nine. Even less wrong with a great nine like Sweetens Cove!!!! Thanks for more great content!!

  • @jordanbowling8188

    I am cautious of telling people to play this course because its special little golf course that I don't want to ever get crowded but, at the same time I never keep my mouth shut anytime i get a chance to bring it up. Awesome video. Super pumped about the exposure for a cool course.

  • @tannerevans3056

    My wife and I spent a long weekend in Chattanooga over the summer and me being a Golf Geek, she "happily" agreed to swing by Sweetens on the way into town. The course was closed for a private event. However, Rob C was incredibly kind and accommodating with his time. He gave us a cart to tour the course and the place surpassed expectations.
    Sweetens Cove is a VERY special place. Just pure Golf with a Fun vibe. Would love to bottle this concept elsewhere.

    I've heard really nice things about Sweetens Cove and the King/Collins backstory. I was hoping to get a better feel for the place through this video. What I got was, "there's nothing wrong with 9-hole golf courses", which I already knew.

  • @montymcintyre
    @montymcintyre 5 років тому

    Nice Erik! 9 holes can be just as great as 18. The amazing golf course designer Alister MacKenzie, who created Augusta among others, used to work out and tinker with new ideas/concepts by creating 9 hole courses. He designed the Northwood Golf Course near Guerneville in Sonoma County. You should play that course one day and do a video on it. It is a gem and a delight. Maybe we can play it together! Keep doing your wonderful work!

  • @northwestrider369
    @northwestrider369 5 років тому

    I am sure that everyone has their own little gold course that is a hidden gem, but if you are out in the Raleigh NC area and can afford to drive about an hour out to Wilson NC, you should go play a round at Wedgewood Public Golf Course. It is a well laid out course that is challenging, is lush green fairways, and is cheap. I played for $10 using a tee time app. And I would put it in the top 3 courses I have ever played. I have played probably 50 courses all over the country and this little course in almost the middle of nowhere was a real pleasure to play. Eric, if you are ever in the area with time to make the drive out there, let me know I will set up the time and play with you.
