Craziest Bunkers On A Golf Course at Metropolitan GC in Australia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 тра 2020
- The next stop on Erik Anders Lang's Australian adventure is The Metropolitan Golf Club; a real gem in the Melbourne Sandbelt. Regarded as one of the finest championship courses in Australia and home of the 2018 World Cup of Golf, Metropolitan really stands out in Australian golf, particularly for its faultless conditioning. Dr. Alister MacKenzie played a major part in designing the bunker layout at Metropolitan GC and his work has more than stood the test of time with some of the most fun, and challenging, bunkers Erik has played to date. EAL and Stuart decided to challenge each other to see who could have the most fun out on the course. And rest assured even through the bad shots, missed putts and numerous encounters with those crazy bunkers synonymous with Metropolitan, they both crushed the challenge.

This video just goes to show you, no matter if you have 2 people or 200 people you can always play with the spirit of RGC.
Haha exactly!!
Last person I would’ve expected to comment on an EAL video haha two different sides of UA-cam for me right here
Wow was not expecting my hermitcraft and golf side of youtube to collide like this
I love when Erik listens to his viewers and gives us more of what we want! More STU!
All the 19th hole hype and they didnt even show it?
Did you realize that Greg Norman was driving the 16th green for the Australian open! The tree have grown since then but still pretty crazy. Glad to see you enjoy yourselves on what was a pretty ordinary day. Thanks Simon, Greens staff@metro
Nothing better than watching 2 best mates playing golf and having fun. The course is secondary(but beautiful) to the craic you lads are having. Great video again Erik, thank you
another great video Erik . Melbourne is my hometown and it's good a lot of people who make golf content showcase the sandbelt because it is one of top destinations to play legitimate courses that they just don't make anymore. There are no tech advances that can help you when it's mid summer and the greens are glass and you are on the wrong side of the fairway. I feel more PGA events need to get played on the Heath, Metro and RM as waiting every 2 years for the world cup just doesn't do the area justice.
Thank you for showing one of the great courses here in my home town. Please please please come visit again.
Nice to see the ace cam king back at it 👌🏻 need a video of him and our ace cam queen Maria fassi on the course! Once lockdown is over of course!
Love seeing courses that are up the road from home on your channel! We're spoiled for choice here :)
This isn't too far from where I grew up, there's a lot of nostalgia for me seeing this sort of landscape, especially in the grey, rainy weather (although I guess it wasn't so great for the golfing...).
Great course played there a few times ... you guys are having a great time ... that's what its all about
Cheers from Oz
Fantastic Erik and Stu. A joy to watch!!
This is the Eric I love seeing, you excited about golf.
you know youre on a great course if you're somehow disappointed you didn't hit it in the bunker! great to see the excitement in this video
Course looks amazing thanks for sharing this
Stu always has fun he's the classic Sunday bag out for a little walk guy with some bill burr thrown in to keep us rolling
Great episode Erik, love the course
Love the videos.... keep up the great work Erik
Cool. Love being able to still get new content.
So glad to see you nearing 100k, great video as always Erik very inspiring
Do wish the weather would have cooperated for this one especially!
great content! Hope to see you make your way to some of the courses around Tahoe.
Holy shit Eric,
Making me ball up the train right now.
What am I going to get from life.
Just listeng to the end of podcast 173, I appreciate you releasing this episode and understand maybe thinking of cutting it towards the end.
Really good to hear it from you, I'm seeking refuge in the game myself.
Hoping listening to you can be my walking into the rain and people.
Sorry if this sounds corny, I'm seeking a Brian and hearing your story (asunder) is helping me.
It's the same game!!!!
This episode do I really like because your playing with steward and then is it always fun please keep doing this whit steward. 👍
QUARANTINE CONTENT LETS GOOOOOOO good stuff, gents.
you know its a nice course when the manager greets you in some fresh threads like that
Ellerston also has the sharp bunker/green edges, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think so does Royal Melbourne West and Kingston Heath. Great video Erik and team!
Its like a cute little buddy movie. Great film
Awesome vid. Crazy to think with Metroplitan and Huntingdale which is next door you’ve got 200+ bunkers!
Yeah that's one hell of a bad bounce! I get those all the time!
great vid.
I cracked up when you were talking about the Cookie Monster eating the green. Love it, Love it !!
Sand belt courses are like a cross between links and parkland. You can’t just swing and hope here. The bunkering is difficult not only in their location, but the deliberate way that some are firm-packed and some a little fluffy. You need to know the course and pins, and play to position accordingly. I bloody miss golf rn...
This is how a course can be difficult without being crazy long.
My fun meter watching this video is a 1!!
Erik. Tassie needs to be on your maps in the intro. We are people too
Dylan Wise we’ve got three of the top 6 courses in the country too, doing some heavy lifting for the country...
@@jamesshepherd8322 not wrong. Apparently he was at barnbougle early in the new year so might be some content inbound. It's just been so long since I've seen a map of Tassie
Dylan Wise yeah the lockdown struggle is real bro.
Stuart is the man!
Those bunkers are a bit bloody evil with no fringe on em to stop the ball. I'd spend all day gettin out of a bunker only for it to roll across the green and into a bunker on the other side. But I'd be having fun. lol :-)
Erik, where can I find the green sweater / pullover you are wearing in this video? Thanks
Hey Erik were u at soule park today? Thought I saw u but I wasn’t sure
when did you play this? Courses are closed now.
DanTuber during the presidents cup time.
Wait, what? Who had the most fun??
Cliff hanger of the decade... why am I itchy all of a sudden 😫🤷♂️😫
I think *WE* the viewers had the most fun !!! :)
What bag is Stuart using? Seamus?
John Phillips it’s a Jones bag
@@isaacsirianni2897 Very nice! Looks a bit different to Eric's which is why I asked. Thanks
How do you not show the 19th hole after saying "beautiful hole" and we don't even get to see you guys putt?
Stu's form has taken a turn knees flyin akimbo and crazy hands top swing, looks like he's on a balance board. Wha hapen'd?
Didn't anyone tell ya that bloody Melbourne is 4 seasons in one day mate. Ya always bring a bloody rain coat lol
I feel absolutely shithouse that I took advantage of Erik’s generosity at the Melbourne RGC meetup and scored that one of a kind RGC towel. This clearly means more to Stu than it does to me and explains why Stu was salty all afternoon.
EAL, PM me an address to get this towel back to it’s rightful owner so I can fix my shitty conscience.
Not a single shot looking up the fairway or view from tee
I would legit give an arm and a leg to play with stu and erik
Well if you did that you wouldn’t play very well.
@@garyroberts3859 damn man, 2 years later and here we are lol
It's a great course. Typical of all sandbelt courses.
There is a better course next to it.
redredrowdy Huntingdale?
Hunting dale better than Metro??
ok its just cruel uploading this while i'm stuck in Victoria with Dan Andrew's draconian lockdown rules!
