Can EAL Break 90 from 8,200 Yards? - Front 9
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Erik Anders Lang takes on another Break 90 challenge, this time at one of the longest courses in the world. The Ross Bridge golf course, found on the famed Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, seems like it was built not by Robert Trent Jones - but by Bryson DeChambeau.
Ross Bridge tops out at 8,200 yards, which is almost 2,000 yards longer than the tees an average golfer would play from. To play the course from the tips is to drastically shrink anything you’ve come to know about your own golf game. The greens are enormous, the elevation changes are drastic, and the fairways are exaggerated beyond belief. The only small thing on the property is you.
See how Erik does in the first half of this course vlog, and check back in next week to catch the back nine. It just might come down to the final hole.

I think what is under appreciated in this is the music. Whomever edits this, I notice this always, you do a fantastic job.
So true. fades in/out perfectly, not too loud, etc
Completely agree! The music is perfect! Especially with the mood and how he's playing
Agreed, fly tunes.
It's all royalty free music
My guy!
Honestly, this series & channel, in general, is completely unmatched.
Without a doubt!! Love this channel
EAL is an unmatched human. The things I would do just to play even one hole with him
You’ve never seen “No laying up”
Totally. I love the little details like how they change the colour and style of the drop down infographic and ball tracer.
@@johnnyhunter yup! I am learning a lot myself!
Couldn't click on this one any faster! Love the Breaking 90 series!
Thanks Steve. Where should we go next?

@@RandomGolfClubFilms First course that comes to mind right now would be Oakmont, but winter in Pittsburgh might make that one a difficult ask, so maybe TPC Sawgrass, although maybe that's too cliche?
Break 90 series is easily the best series.

On hole 7, take an unplayable and drop back in the bunker
6:07 "hot illegal items" was golden
Ohhhhh... the drop-down infographic matches the flags that day. **chef's kiss** Really nice touch, production team.
I work across the street at oxmoor valley, ross is tough! The greens are actually bent grass and roll so fast. Glad you came to the trail man, love all of your series!
The music is FANTASTIC. Especially the dramatic moment in the woods when it really got intense. First video I’ve watched of yours. Will be back.
The reality of my golf game vs my expectations is what always brings me back. I love the challenge. I adore my good days and have never let my bad days get to me or bring me down. I try to look at each bad shot as something to try and not repeat again which is of course impossible in the eyes of the golf gods. Never the less it's definitely a part of my life that I always look forward to doing at each and every opportunity and knowing that I may never be any better than average doesn't bother me one little bit. I'm not playing to become perfect, I'm playing because it is perfectly fun.
This is the best series on UA-cam. You should go to Pinehurst No. 2 next from the tips. That would be a great video
My all time favorite series! Erik you have the best job in the world.
Cool to see some shots of the crew working around Eric, really goes to show the amount of work that's put in. Can't wait for part 2
The 2 best RGC videos: Break 90 and Random 18
Hooking it left constantly then getting to a hole where you need to draw it left and you slice it straight right into the woods is one of the most fitting visual anecdotes of what it's like to play golf. I love it.
"I'm really falling in love with these videos", Erik, I could not agree more. Keep up the great work!
These are my favorite course vlogs on UA-cam
Loving the iconic slow mo club twirl as you step up to your shots!
Ross Bridge is majestic. A beast from the black tees. Worth playing from the tips for the views alone.
The course vlogs/break 90s are so satisfying to watch, great work sir
I really appreciate your courage in posting these videos such as this. Putting it right out there! Enjoy your work.
"Oh, it's got quite a lot of break...No, I guess it doesn't have any break at all." - Me expecting Tour quality greens at my muni course.
The random commentary makes these videos absolute gold! I love thise style of editing
Time for a new What's In the Bag video I think. Great stuff as always!
“Hot illegal items” put that on a shirt haha
I’ve played this course! Love the track and kudos to you for playing from the tips lol takes a lot of courage to tee it up against that length. Love the series.
I love these videos. I dont know how many times ive said this but I love your setup to your videos and I love how you make your videos so relatable even though you are better than your average golfer. I am a BIG fan of EAL!
So glad you guys used a shot tracer this vid. Love seeing the flight paths
Loving the Ennio Morricone style music on this one!
Oh yeah, and that course is amazing 😍
Watched this video 3 years ago. Played Ross Bridge yesterday from the tips. Shot a 97 (hcp is an 8 so my net was 80) Legitimately the hardest round I’ve ever played. Glad I did it but next time I’ll just play from the orange tees.
“A tap in 9...that should not be uttered...” 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video Erik, this course looks amazing! Hole 4 is absolutely absurd! 226 yard par 3 over water?!
Loving the tee tracing, give your editor a thumbs up for that.
This course looks beautiful! It has a nice classic design, but fair and challenging at times. The bunkers are in tough spots, but it looks like you have some wide fairways to maneuver around as well. Keep up the good work EAL, especially with breaking 90!
I love these types of videos. Whether its break 90 or random 18. Keep them coming, EAL!
You're right about the Georgia vibes this course gives off. Nearly every hole reminded me of a hole from one Georgia course or another that I've played.
Great commentary, brutal course! Nothing like the overcorrection followed by overcorrection, so familiar.
Really looking forward to the candid "purchasing more balls at the turn with my Chase card" scene in the second video
Great series! I look forward to watching these whenever I see them appear in my notifications
The shot tracers keep getting better 👍
Our editor is the best!
I'll start studying for finals.. as soon as I finish watching this lol
i do love the videos EAL, looks like a call to vice is coming. gonna need another dozen
A 9 and an 8 on the same side Eric! Crazy how fine the lines are between making a birdie every hole and making a big number. Excited to see you pull it back on the 2nd side
When you bladed it out of the bunker, you could have declared the ball unplayable and played another shot from the bunker (adding one penalty stroke)
^^^
I think you even doesn't have to declare it unplayable. I think you can just play a new ball from your last spot with a 1 stroke penalty.
Elliot with the top-notch editing!
The rare and elusive Tee-Tracer! These videos are awesome, keep it up EAL!
Absolutely love the course vlog style videos, keep up the amazing work!
Ironically, watching the "Remember Your First Birdie?" AIG yesterday I thought about my first birdie, which came at RTJ Grand National.
Got the notification and had to take a work break for this one! Break 90 videos are always excellent!
Great Video and amazing golf course!
This is my comfort video I watch it so much
Played this course a few times; only once from the tips. Beautiful course that actually seems to play longer than the distances on the card, it can be a beast. And I assume we won't be seeing a RGC at Winged Foot any time soon!
Just found your channel. This is the most relatable content I’ve ever watched. Subbed!
These r easily the best vids u upload and I would watch one everyday
The bit from about 14:45 to 17:00, the spy in trouble bit. That's the golfing equivalent of doing you taxes. Especially the counting all ya shots on fingers and toes when ya run out of fingers bit haha
Live not too far from this course and I've played it from the tips before and it's a beast! I can definitely sympathize with you!
Hey Love the videos and I love that my home state is getting some love from the golfing world!
Would love to see how this shot tracer is done. I’m sure it’s done in After Effects, but would love to see a workflow.
Another great 'break 90' Erik... keep plugging away my friend!! Btw ... how is Snowball?? Havent seen the guy for a while.
Great looking course, great footage team, loving the work. nice to clock off work and wind down with the slight drawl of EAL! I'd have taken a provisional on 7 and not found the one in the trees! even though they are 90% air... there was a lot there to make it 5% possible to get out of them..
“Hit it straighter than I wanted to” 😂 wish I could say the same
I love the thought about forgetting most of your days unless something magical happens. I guess it’s a good reminder to try to make everyday magical in one way or another. Doesn’t always have to be a hole-in-one! 😂🤣
So much respect for EAL for giving us the good shots and the bad. Most would have deleted the footage and replayed the hole after that 9.
Wow I'd love to play a course like that
True Detective vibe on the music.
These courses are all really good. Each complex of the 7 or 8 has 2 18 hole courses, some have an 18 hole par 3 course as well and are normally in great condition and fairly cheap to play.
7 iron = ball was slightly above your feet, making you go heel balance on the way back and staying in pocket for the return, looked awesome
Erik plays some of the nicest courses in the world and shows us every tree on them
😂😂
Great vid. Place looks sick.
For me, the "taxes" of golf has to be short game practice. Chipping around the green and bunker shots always make me feel better
One day I want to travel to the US just to play loads of courses 😍
I live in Alabama and this is a course of legend. I want to play it so bad, can’t afford it right now. (The lost balls not the greens fees) Looks so beautiful
Nice video -- Who's that Riley kid? Looks like he knows what he's doing.
Hey Buddy. It’s all good. Killed those 5-8 footer putts. That’s a good day!! I don’t envy the cameras following my rounds. I do envy your camera shots though.
Love the background music! Keep it up
You should give all 12 RTJ courses a try. Looks like you had a blast at Ross Bridge
In the spring or summer of 21’ you NEED to head to French Lick Indiana and play the Pete Dye course. Built on the second highest point in Indiana where LEGEND Larry Bird is from, tipped out 8,100 yards it is a MONSTER
What shot tracer do you use ? It's so amazing, keep it up love your vids
Man, nothin better than an orange shot tracer
Love the break 90 videos! Let me know if you come to central wisconsin to hit SentryWorld Golf in stevens point
"birds...look at those birds.." lol
Eric, did you see Peter Finch commit to Vice balls?
He was playing TP5's, but has given them up for Pro Plus balls!
My god, this course is beautiful...gotta love a Jones course where you can be on the green and still not have a shot
A guy we used to play with had the self proclaimed title of “world’s worst single digit”. I think you need that on your hat lol.
Great video as always. Love this series!
Oddly therapeutic watching Erik hit shockers
So happy I got a winged paw hat before the C&D arrived! I bet that guy that said "membership isn't for you" had something to do with it. haha
Thought I was tuning in for an episode of 'Narcos' with that intro music. ;)
Hole 9 had RGC rule 17b in play! Totally relate to it 😂
Here for Elliot's shot tracker!
This is an absolute beautiful course
By then end of 7, I had forgotten what hole you were on, and was waiting to see the final score soon...for 18 holes...damn I need nap.
The concept of the "emotional spine" seems to me an extremely powerful one. If we treat our emotions as we would our physical condition it might help to flatten the emotional curve and retain the all important calm we need and love on the course. Breathe.
The shot on 7 in the trees. As my good friend always says "elect for putter" hahaha
The greens fee for Ross Bridge is usually about $150. Three years ago they offered a one day greens fee of $75 including breakfast and lunch, but you had to play from the tips which you see here. My brothers and I played it and had a great time. LOTS of long irons/fairway woods into greens!
Yeah but that's a one time fee. If you buy a "trail card" (no extra cost), it cuts the price to play in half and works at every course on the trail. We play the RTJ courses in the Shoals regularly and you can't beat 45 bucks with a trail card.
@@LTR1420 I have a Trail Card as well.. . I was just pointing out that Ross Bridge started having a day, once per year, where they offered breakfast and lunch for a heavily discounted rate but you had to play from the tips. It was so popular the past couple of years that they have raised the entry fee to over the rack rate.
@@ivyfalls1 ah I gotcha
This course looks so pure man
I feel ya man. Some days you get the bull, some days you get the horns.
i love it when people cover my home course
i love the true detective slowed intro
Played this course. Insanely beautiful
Hey Erik. Really love your videos and you are indeed one the coolest guys in golf. But have you ever considered game improvement irons instead of the fancy tour pro models suggested by the TaylorMade Kingdom. You hit the ball for miles but not exactly where you are aiming. Maybe some high MOI clubs. Just a suggestion from a concerned fan. :)
