A mile from Pasatiempo there is a tourist attraction called “the mystery spot” famous for the optical illusions produced by the amount of tilt and slope the site is situated upon. In 2004 I drove a silver PT cruiser with wood paneling down from San Francisco, walked into one of the cabins there, and got so immediately disoriented that I became nauseated and threw up. Some 15 years later I returned to the area, and on a breezy, sunny day in June, I managed to leave myself above the hole at 16. Time is a flat circle.
I have a serious problem with these videos. Every time I watch one at work my focus for the rest of the day is completely broken and all I want to do is play golf. Great content boys. What does PMI even mean Randall?!?!?!
Dearest Randy, It has been shown through the seventh chapter of the third season of the honorable Tourist Sauce that you have died gloriously on the field of Pasatiempo. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the followers of NLU. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of the golfing gods. Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, A Fan
big big randy/rory fan here. i get the same feeling of existential dread watching them line up over a four-footer. it's the spider-mans pointing meme. anyway RIP to two real ones. subscribing to golfpass to show my respect.
If Randy doesn't wait by the 18th to congratulate the winner of the match next episode while wearing all orange is he even trying to pay homage to Rickie? #latestagecapitalism
Well I love all NLU content. But this one is just so good. Lovely, calm, conversational, informative, funny. Super lads. Thanks. PS Randall should be banned from wearing hats!
The Five Stages of Big Randy's swing sequence: Hope at address - Denial in the backswing - Depression at the top - Bargaining in the downswing - Acceptance in the follow through.
I love this video. Pasatiempo is a great course and tough one. Ive played twice shot a 120 when I first started golfing in 2010 and then last year I got lucky to play out there and shot 83 what an amazing course glad. you guys enjoyed it.
Randy's epic stance on 16, as the chip ran back to his feet, and all of his hopes and dreams washed away, is what I am here fore...Tron should have run up to him, following the putt on 18, grabbed his face with both hands, and reminded him that he still may, someday, be a father!
I like how we got some back story on randy and trons friendship, you guys need to mix in some more of that so we can get the full no laying up origin story!
Great video, great editing, great music. Your content is pure. Now #releaseallofthemerch. Shout out to Big Randy for a stand-up stroke on 18 ... #noshame.
Pulling for Randy is easy. It’s like cheering for Tom Watson trying to win the Open at 59. In contrary, it takes a real man to ride with TC who is quickly becoming the Patty Reed of the NLU crew.
The closing movie score felt like one of those scenes, where the son (Jumbo Randall), his wife, and 3, 6'6" sons return to the 17th at Pasa years later and know that Uncle Tron is smiling down upon them.
I feared we'd lost Big Randy on the 17th green (17:54 mark). He looked as though he'd to walk off into the sunset before the completion of the final hole, much like Bagger Vance, never to be seen again. The eulogy was prepared and, in lieu of flowers, his tour visors were to be donated to the youths. But alas, he will rise from the ashes next week, orange and beautiful.
The nice thing about watching/listening to NLU content you learn something, hearing Soly describe the canyon/valley/ditch as a Barranca, now I need to know if I can use that term on and off the golf course? Like "check out that bridge over the barranca" while driving over an interstate over a bridge over a canyon???
I was pulling for Big Randy, man that chip on 16 hurts no doubt about it! Love the channel and the content gents-awesome stuff! Anyone heading to The Northern Trust?
I know this video was posted a while back but I am sold on Pasatiempo now. I'm planning on trying to get on at Harding as well but I may just go Pasa and Spyglass or Spanish Bay. Wife and I are going to SF in late June and I'm stoked to play out there. I've played nice courses before but the only one most people know well is TPC San Antonio Oaks.
The strapped boys are dead. They came out to the west coast to live out there final days amongst friends and various golf pros. There will be a celebration of life, their ashes will be spread at the Jax beach muni. In lieu of flowers we ask that you subscribe to the NLU UA-cam channel, and if your in the Iowa area please stop at the state fair and shower the east demoine women with drinks in remembrance.
Fitting course for that match...Pasatiempo, which although the translation has been lost over the years, many academics pontificate that it roughly translates to "The mental miss isn't just mental." Tough scene for Randall
There were about 4 times if I didn't know if it was Big Randy or Kuch playing out there. Now all I can think about is Kuch in all orange next week and I'm excited.
Was so waiting for DJ to give us the “it’s a lot darker than our cameras appear” as the blimp flew overhead in Big Randy’s back swing. Neil giving up a d slap from Tron to hang out with Randy the next round and drink is the friendship I look for. Big Randy in all orange for the loss is the Ricky performance on 18 with a match all square we expected. #cutcostrong #strapped
"A Corporate Takeover on the California Coast" In what some deemed the most anticipated match since Tiger vs Phil, Big Randy and small town America took on Private Club ambassador Tron at Pasatiempo Golf Club. The battle of the heavyweights concluded at the 18th hole, as Randall's putting woes continued with a par miss. Unfortunately for all the blue collar weekend warriors across the globe, Tron advances to the semifinals of the DHL-USPS Match Play Finals, presented by his royal Fedexness, Jay Monahan. In what can only be described as an epic flash, the strapped boys are out of the tournament and back on a budget. In lieu of flowers, the strapped community asks that all donations be made to the "two dollar, margarita night" fund or the "Search for Rory" effort. While the loyal NLU fan base does not wish ill on Mr. Tron going forward, we do ask that he release the security footage of him ransacking Justin Rose's closet. We look forward to seeing our friends Neil and Randy again, in a life where the big right miss is always in play - cheers.
Was pullin for ya Big Guy. Wanted that putt on 18 to drop. As earlier comment mentioned hopefully we get a mini strapped inside a tourist sauce out of it
Tron with the "late round comeback" two rounds in a row might seem legit, but we all know Big Randy was just protecting the Strapped brand and knew that would be more fun playing with Neil. Plus it further supplants TC as the little brother of the C-Suite. Master troll job by Big Randy! He's the low key hero we all deserve!
TC in the retro jerseys really foreshadows the “Tron-sanity” dunk on the Big “Weis”. Only the dunk is really just the big guy missing a 5 footer and depleting the Puma Factory of all orange material.
Tron - Chalk one up for the Dream Crusher. Big Randy needed the win and you crushed him, you know he visualized winning, Randy will looking like Clifford the big red dog dipped in orange.
I dig the Slenderman but watching his putting stroke from the hole view makes me hold my breath. I was pulling for you big man but as a Fowler fan I want to see you in the Big Orange for Episode 8.
Big Randall, Confront the dark parts of yourself Work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness Your willingness to wrestle your demons will cause your angels to sing. Only then will you boldly cast out those demons And calm the raging sea within. Always your friend, The 14th Club.
Epic - as usual guys 👌😎 Pure class all the way - from a friend across the pond in the UK 🇬🇧 It’s currently 11:48 am and myself and 11 buddies are teeing off at Royal Dornoch in 3hrs 😃 Keep up the great content, love the banter 😎😎 Clive aka “Johnny Balata” 😁
Content I’d love to see: Neil off the tee DJ’s fairway to green Tron’s short game (100 yards to fringe) Randy’s putting (Soly sits it out) I’ll set the Over / Under at 17.5 over (bogey golf).
Through Pasatiempo a little standings update as described by @pooshdaddy in the theme song. Neil (merch daddy) “bet you never left a goodbye note” early exit from the tournament and an homage to the days at google DJ Pie - after gaining speed with Gankas “you’re moving too fast, now you’re outta control” Soly - waiting patiently his turn at the championship “Don't act like nobody told ya, you're already gold” TC - battling back in every single match, winning on 18 two matches in a row “You're trying to get your head right Never been so hard for you” Big Randy - after a very tough putting scene at pasatiempo. (Lyrical liberties taken by me here) “You've probably burned a PUTT or two Chasing down those dreams You'll probably find out the hard way It's not all what it seems”
Thought this was as good as chance as ever to drop the “it’s darker than what our cameras are making it look like out there” feels like a real missed opportunity
Picture this. 2044. Big Randy vs. Little Randy. A car of Little Randy’s choosing on the line. Down to the last hole, match all square. Big Randy stands over the putt. Thoughts flash back to that fateful putt 25 years ago. A shiver runs down his spine. Suddenly, filled with warmth from the setting sun reflecting down on him off of Icarito’s wings, he confidently strokes in the 4 foot putt he needed to win. All is right in the world.
Found this channel just a few days ago and have already watched all 3 tourist sauce seasons and strapped in iowa. Love the content, keep it up.
I'm jealous you have this much new NLU content
I was there two weeks ago. Now I’ve watched everything, and now I’m in a pit of content misery until every Tuesday.
I remember the "just found them" days. I think I'm 3 full rounds through their library. The winter park vid got me hooked
@@walkerriley4251 Iration's 'Already Gold' played loud takes the edge off.
Icarito saying “I dickslapped myself” has to be the most Icarito thing to have ever been said
I'm in awe that you guys don't have more followers. Easily the best golf content out there. From the podcast to the vlogs. Great work.

What does PMI even mean Randall?!?!?!
I’m pretty sure this video series is just a way for Soly to tell everyone that he’s already played all these courses before
Those last two holes were edited to perfection. Good music, no talking, let us feel Randy's pain of missing another short putt. Great job fellas.
Tron winning just feels dirty...
Big Randy Fan Club!!!
Randy stated his "one shot he'd like back" to be the chip on 16 (recency bias), but the topped tee shot at 8:14 has to be a very close 2nd...
Dearest Randy,
It has been shown through the seventh chapter of the third season of the honorable Tourist Sauce
that you have died gloriously on the field of Pasatiempo.
I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile
you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the
consolation that may be found in the thanks of the followers of NLU.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave
you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours
to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of the golfing gods.

Is it safe to say, Tron is a natural villain?
If Randy doesn't wait by the 18th to congratulate the winner of the match next episode while wearing all orange is he even trying to pay homage to Rickie? #latestagecapitalism
Well I love all NLU content. But this one is just so good. Lovely, calm, conversational, informative, funny. Super lads. Thanks. PS Randall should be banned from wearing hats!
Randy about to be looking like a giant Cheeto next week.
Randy is now the Big Carrot. I would have insisted on a green hat for the outfit.
S/O DJ for the homage to the Battle of Winterfell. The less you can see, the more dramatic it is!
"Just feels like you can really rope a draw in there"
Immediately blocks the ball straight right
Loving this series
The Five Stages of Big Randy's swing sequence: Hope at address - Denial in the backswing - Depression at the top - Bargaining in the downswing - Acceptance in the follow through.
Good to rewatch before my tee time at Pasatiempo today
Really excited for this impromptu season of Strapped: Bay Area
I love this video. Pasatiempo is a great course and tough one. Ive played twice shot a 120 when I first started golfing in 2010 and then last year I got lucky to play out there and shot 83 what an amazing course glad. you guys enjoyed it.

TC looks like bill Murray from what about bob at the beginning 😂 (also) even more excited to watch this again because could be the 🐐of your videos 🙌🏻
Great video, great editing, great music.
Your content is pure.
Now #releaseallofthemerch.
Shout out to Big Randy for a stand-up stroke on 18 ... #noshame.

Such amazing content! Can't wait to see the Big Cheeto next vid!
I'm loving Randy's new shallowing move!
17:55 Big Randy contemplates his life...and all the mean things he's said about Ricky Fowler in the past few years. #HoselAdjacent
New NLU videography mission statement: Our cameras make it look darker out here than it really is
“And if you gaze long enough into the barranca, the barranca will gaze back into you.”
- Phil “Big Nietzsche” Landes
I feared we'd lost Big Randy on the 17th green (17:54 mark). He looked as though he'd to walk off into the sunset before the completion of the final hole, much like Bagger Vance, never to be seen again.

Like "check out that bridge over the barranca" while driving over an interstate over a bridge over a canyon???
Things that can be seen from outer space: 1. The Great Wall of China 2. Big Randy in all orange Puma gear.
I was pulling for Big Randy, man that chip on 16 hurts no doubt about it! Love the channel and the content gents-awesome stuff! Anyone heading to The Northern Trust?

Big Rand, the epitome of a premium player
Great video guys!!!

great video as always guys.
Fitting course for that match...Pasatiempo, which although the translation has been lost over the years, many academics pontificate that it roughly translates to "The mental miss isn't just mental." Tough scene for Randall
Watching Randy line up that putt on 18 was heartbreaking. You knew what was coming :(
Neil saying “you feel like you can just rope a draw into the 9th green” and then immediately slicing one off the map is so on brand for him
Tron, Randy; have you guys ever played Stonelick Hills in Cincy?! Love the videos guys!
Gutted for big Randy and the strapped boys. Really wanted them to show out this season. Can't wait for Tron vs. DJ.
There were about 4 times if I didn't know if it was Big Randy or Kuch playing out there. Now all I can think about is Kuch in all orange next week and I'm excited.
Phenomenal episode
The competition aspect really keeps it interesting.
Awesome episode, gents 👍

What on earth was that music you used on 18 that was sweet ! Oh and the golf was pretty good too.
5:35 That’s Dr. Alister Mackenzie to you Soly (condescending British accent)
Never had so much getting my ass kicked at Pasatiempo. One of the best courses I've ever played.
great effort Big Randy!
What a finish!!!! It's the Tron Song moving on to the next one. Wow.... thought you had it Randy :/

oh man! Been waiting for this one!
Great vlog,lovely course,good craic.
What time of year did you play.last few holes you need floodlights
Love that instrumental you had playing during the 18th hole
Was pullin for ya Big Guy. Wanted that putt on 18 to drop. As earlier comment mentioned hopefully we get a mini strapped inside a tourist sauce out of it
I appreciate DJ calling Randy “Mr. Landes” and yet also calling Tron “Mr. Carter.” It’s truly as if Tron and Neil actually are no longer brothers.
Now that is a Golf Course!
Cant believe it's already 4 years since this came out!
I felt that deep in my feels but I equally can't wait for The Ballad of Ricky Randy #orange
Tron with the "late round comeback" two rounds in a row might seem legit, but we all know Big Randy was just protecting the Strapped brand and knew that would be more fun playing with Neil. Plus it further supplants TC as the little brother of the C-Suite. Master troll job by Big Randy! He's the low key hero we all deserve!
Tron is henceforth to be known as 'The Barista', because he just doesn't stop grinding
those glasses Icarito is wearing 2:36 in...
19:27-47 was 20 seconds I will never get back..... hhahaha nice practice stroke....
It is confirmed. Randy unfortunately has 12 months to live.
TC in the retro jerseys really foreshadows the “Tron-sanity” dunk on the Big “Weis”.
Only the dunk is really just the big guy missing a 5 footer and depleting the Puma Factory of all orange material.
Very on brand. C-Suite completes route of Strapped while we are blessed with “Holding Company-esque” camera angles. #protraj
Watching all of these videos of rounds so far, what's the average time per round with all the video and production surrounding the round of golf?
Tron - Chalk one up for the Dream Crusher. Big Randy needed the win and you crushed him, you know he visualized winning, Randy will looking like Clifford the big red dog dipped in orange.
Heading to the Bay area in about a month. Looked up the green fee at pasa tiempo. $300. Dam!lol . Guess I'll stick to half moon bay for $150.
Same here! It's crazy man.
Use to live in Half Moon Bay. Fun track
That's good to know. We'll keep that in mind!@@kevincrouch5615
Amazing it came down to that putt for big randy
I dig the Slenderman but watching his putting stroke from the hole view makes me hold my breath. I was pulling for you big man but as a Fowler fan I want to see you in the Big Orange for Episode 8.
Big Randall,
Confront the dark parts of yourself
Work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness
Your willingness to wrestle your demons will cause your angels to sing.
Only then will you boldly cast out those demons
And calm the raging sea within.
Always your friend,

Epic - as usual guys 👌😎
Pure class all the way - from a friend across the pond in the UK 🇬🇧
It’s currently 11:48 am and myself and 11 buddies are teeing off at Royal Dornoch in 3hrs 😃
Keep up the great content, love the banter 😎😎
Clive aka “Johnny Balata” 😁
Content I’d love to see:
Neil off the tee
DJ’s fairway to green
Tron’s short game (100 yards to fringe)
Randy’s putting
(Soly sits it out)
I’ll set the Over / Under at 17.5 over (bogey golf).
Crushed. Can’t believe my guy Antwan Randal El lost. I’m lost in a bogey run of emotions
Who was it that was wearing the Dan Majerle No. 9 Jersey from the mid-90s Cleveland Cavs?
Anyone know what time of year these fellas played PT?
Through Pasatiempo a little standings update as described by @pooshdaddy in the theme song.
Neil (merch daddy) “bet you never left a goodbye note” early exit from the tournament and an homage to the days at google
DJ Pie - after gaining speed with Gankas “you’re moving too fast, now you’re outta control”
Soly - waiting patiently his turn at the championship “Don't act like nobody told ya, you're already gold”
TC - battling back in every single match, winning on 18 two matches in a row “You're trying to get your head right Never been so hard for you”
Big Randy - after a very tough putting scene at pasatiempo. (Lyrical liberties taken by me here) “You've probably burned a PUTT or two Chasing down those dreams You'll probably find out the hard way It's not all what it seems”
The only good thing to come from TC's victory is the joys that await when the Big Guy becomes Randy Fowler next week. I can't wait.
It's going to be sooo good.
This felt like watching Old Yeller for the 10th time; hoping Randy survives but knew Tron was going to put him down at the end.
Thought this was as good as chance as ever to drop the “it’s darker than what our cameras are making it look like out there” feels like a real missed opportunity
I was proud of Randy for putting a good stroke on the putt to force a playoff.
Mastered chipping, sounds useful!
Soly has perfected the J Speith follow thru
Juicey: “it just feels like you can hit a rope draw in there” hits an istaquief 🌬🌬🌬
Tourist Sauce, a haiku:
A pure old course
Trust fund Tron has come to play
Big Phil in orange
I will pay an absolutely unreasonable amount to look as good as Big Randy on the course
What is the music from the 17-20 minute mark?
The Exorcist thinks Big Randy’s putting stroke has given too many people nightmares.
Why has it taken this long for the glamour shots of Icarito?? Maybe a Strapped Boys calendar in 2020?
Picture this. 2044. Big Randy vs. Little Randy. A car of Little Randy’s choosing on the line. Down to the last hole, match all square. Big Randy stands over the putt. Thoughts flash back to that fateful putt 25 years ago. A shiver runs down his spine. Suddenly, filled with warmth from the setting sun reflecting down on him off of Icarito’s wings, he confidently strokes in the 4 foot putt he needed to win. All is right in the world.
17:55 folks, Randy is much taller than our cameras make it out to be right now
Are we officially changing his name from Big Randy to Big Puma
