- In our 4th episode of the Scottish Diaries, we make our way south for the final leg of the Kintyre Trio. Dunaverty sits atop historic land made famous by Dunaverty “Blood” Rock, the site of a 17th-century massacre. Over two-hundred years later, livestock and golf collided to bring a golf experience unlike any other. Tune in and relive the stunning beauty of golf on the farm.

Cows are the perfect golf spectator.. their non-reactions are priceless.. More courses should be like this!
Ponies love it as long as you don't hit the ball at them
Just casually sitting down as a herd grazing. I love it!
Living in Scotland you forget about the beauty of your country, as you live within your box. The freedom a car gives you to explore is immense, something I wish I could tell my younger self all those years ago. Great vlog as always Eric, keep entertaining us and showing us the spectacular courses on this planet we live on.
Erik, thankyou for exploring aspects of golf never before seen by so many lovers of the game.
Born and bred in Scotland, travelled and worked all over this fine country yet there’s still so many places I’ve never been and dying to get to. Alba gu bràth.
Your videos are just so pure and refreshing. They make me love the game of golf more and more each time I watch one. One of these days I’m going to get out to Scotland 🏴. Thanks for being a golf romantic! Keep doing you Erik ⛳️🤟🏼
Man.... these just can’t come fast enough. Such staggering beauty in history and simplicity. Thanks Erik and Alex.
Great work Erik and Co you’ve made something very special with this series. The cinematography is stunning, your camera work, the editing and your interaction with locals is admirable. This isn’t even a golf video, it’s art.
Love how the men is carrying Alexandras bag. Such a humble gentleman.
Really digging the Scotland Diaries! This one is a new favorite of all the videos, so peaceful! When I drive the countryside, I picture golf courses everywhere, I do that all the time
Really sums up the experience in Scotland. My brother and I had much the same type of experience with some locals joining us to just walk along and share their stories of the course. Such a lovely group of people there who make the experience so much more than just playing golf.
really enjoyed this video of Dunaverty.....must put on my bucket list when visiting Scotland
Cow cam is live
Funny enough my week goes the same lately, fall in love with golf during the week with great golf creators such as yourself then by Sunday I hate it again....the cycle starts up every Monday. And yet I don’t care.
you've got to be easier on yourself on the course mate, whenever I get annoyed at how poor I'm playing I try and remind myself that I'm not good enough to be getting this mad about it, I may as well just enjoy myself
There's a lot of us like that....it's golf. Gary Player once said it's the only game ever created that will never be mastered.
Played there as a 12 year old and on a return with 3 friends 30 years later had my best 18 hole score ever - you might do that too! Just a joy to play it, alongside the two big Machrihanish courses. You could even play the great little 9 holer at Carradale on the way home.
Played Dunaverty in August luckily in perfect weather. Course and scenery absolutely stunning. It really is a hidden gem in Kintyre
Erik, you are something special. Don't stop doing what you're doing.
How do these videos not have over a million views? Everything about this series is amazing. Keep up the great work!
Eric next time you are in Scotland you need to try just over the Border on the East coast and play some of the forgotten links courses in north Northumberland on the English side , Goswick Links { open qualifier venue) Bamburgh Castle ( one of Gary Players favourite courses for views etc) Dunstanburgh Castle ( drop dead gorgeous links with Viking castle over looking it , Alnmouth, Foxton . Magdalane fields, Seahouses etc , the area is a golfing gem but people drive straight past heading for Scotland
Charles Ottoman great stuff Charles , Goswick, Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh , Seahouses and Foxton are all on the coast with some great holes Foxton Hall actually has a dormy house for golfing groups . There are also a couple of links 9 hole courses Warkworth and Alnmouth village , the only inland course on the list is Alnwick , it is a lovely town and has hotels etc so a good base but the course is a parkland course so ok but not like the others , enjoy
I love these videos, but has anyone else noticed that the musical transitions are about 10x louder than the speaking?
I always have to crank it to hear what they're saying and then I get blown out of the room and the windows rattle when the bass drops...
Totally agree. Erik, please balance out the audio tracks a bit more, the volume level variance is jarring.
A lot of the time someone does a mix on headphones or good monitors, forgetting that the end-user is probably listening on lesser-quality speakers.
@@scottca9780 I mean it's a Bose home theater system here, so I don't think it's a quality issue, but point taken that the mix could have been done with a kit that doesn't represent most viewers home setups. Especially if on headphones that don't have good low to mid response.
@@alanm850 Yeah, nothing to do with sound system. They levels were just all over the place.
Sounded fine on a galaxy 🤷♂️
Another amazingly well produced, informative and hilarious video.
1 massive request bro, PLEASE stop blasting the music throughout the video.
I'm constantly having to adjust the volume up and down bc the music is too loud and and then I can't hear the dialogue.
BTW, hilarious description regarding how the course smells. Lol, I was taking the first bite from my lunch when your mentioned it 😂🤣😂
i have to agree, the dialouge music ratio has to be adjusted.
This video is EAL at its best! Really appreciate you producing something totally different than everyone else. Your love of photography, golf, and travel is blended perfectly.
I think this video is a return to form for EAL & team. I love a lot of the earlier videos which capture more of the ‘spiritual’ for want of a better word side to golf. Showcasing Scotland beautifully and Alex is great. X
One of my favourite places to play golf. Usually get down once a year. I know of no other course like it - charming with stunning views. So glad you got to experience it.
Looks class! If you are looking for Low Key, head over to the Isle of Iona. There is no clubhouse but what you do is get your scorecard from the Post Office on the island. There is an 18 hole golf course round to the left side of the island however it is just a field with sheep in it and they are the grass cutters. All there is is tee boxes, some flags and sheep, with a massive bull when I played it. Catch it on a calm day. The greatest golf experience ever!
Wow I had no idea there was a "course" there! I was on the island a few years back and wandered around the Abbey grounds. Not that I had time or equipment for golf, but I had no idea! Could have at least gone to see I guess. Sigh, now I guess I'll have to go back 😜
Sounds like exactly the type of course that takes on back to when so many local rural courses were that way. A dose of history, I'd love to play it! All I need to do is go to Scotland. :-)
Absolute perfection on this one! I have been a fan for years and it is clear to see the connection you had with this course was unlike many others. New course added to the list! Thanks for all you and your team do
I just read Tom Coyne’s books a few months ago, would love to go to some courses in his books sometime!
OH MY GOD!!!! YOU'RE PLAYING MACHRIE!!!!!!
This will be the first time I've seen the course since it's been remodeled. I hope you loved it as much as my family and I did!
I just love everything about your videos. If you’re ever doing a trip around England I’d love to play a round with you! Thank you, can’t wait for the next video
QUESTION: Have any of you guys had someone question your score just because you're new to the game? Or just because they weren't there to see your solo round? This is the person who basically introduced me to golf and we've played probably 5x now...ive played another 4x alone and I shot my best score of a 106...below my 116 average so far...they constantly ask what shot im on as if to catch me in some Lie when all I want to do is take my time to be accurate...if anything ive penalized myself an EXTRA stroke...
I don't even consider myself to be on any sort of "Level"...swinging a club isn't totally foreign to me... and I've hit 2k+ golf balls in a 3-4 month period...i played 4 sports growing up so i Understand and Respect the Difficulty of the game...channels like this are teaching me so much and I'm just going at my own pace...
I hope this isn't a case where my progress is making someone else Uncomfortable...its a friend of mine and I always thank him for tips and feel like we're working on our game/swing Together but Separately...but today it seemed to REALLY bother him when I was a stroke off as im trying to figure out where I sprayed my ball on a par 5 🤷🏾♂️...
ADVICE??!
bryan whitney Very
Another awesome flashback. I loved that course. Unfortunately played it in the rain. But that 3rd hole along the water and rock edge was gorgeous. All the guys wanted to go in the house nestled in the rocks to get away from the weather lol my second favorite hole was the easy downhill par 4 coming back. Missed the eagle putt. Till next time
Who's better then you man,,, stunning lady ,, beautiful course ,,hold on beautiful everything good for you Enjoy!!! Great stuff ty for sharing!!!
I’m playing Dunaverty a week from today…holy crap!!!
Wow. Well done. This video makes it seem like a spiritual golf experience!
How has Golf Channel not picked this up yet? This content needs to be on the highest stage of Broadcasting! b
But Maybe this is the highest stage in today's world? 🤔🤔 This is my dream to do what you do sir!
We make CSGO movies on our channel, but we think we're going to switch to golf movies after seeing this. What a beautifully constructed film. The landscapes and environments are incredible.
Used to live west of Aberdeen. Missing the links courses and the beachy, low-temp, wet vegetation and a nice scotch after a round! Your videos bring back great memories, keep it up!
Great episode of a quality series. Content is just brilliant. Going to Scotland next year to play st Andrews but already thinking of something like this
Definitely come check out the courses in the East Neuk, not far from St Andrews. Lundin Links and Elie especially!
Dunaverty is a hidden gem.
Love these videos Erik. I have a running list on my phone of these courses to hopefully play in the future. Your videos are inspirational & they capture why I love this sport so much. You're always welcome to come to Iowa if you want some Heartland Golf!
Hey Erik, thanks for making these great videos, you are promoting my homeland, but have shown me a course I did not know about, keep up the good work, stay safe!
Another magical episode! At the rate my heart keeps growing for links golf...I might sell everything and move to Scotland for the summer & fall and then to New Zealand for the Winter and Spring. :)
Beautiful place! It looks sort of minimalist in a way, which is what makes Scottish golf great. As to the music - I have only my computer speakers, nothing big and fancy added on - I don't find the music overbearing at all. Looking forward to the next in this Scottish series, thanks!
My dad has a 100 acre farm in North Alabama that I have been begging him to turn into a golf course for 25+ years. He even has the cows to go with it. Great video sir. Must be nice being EAL.
Stunning. An experience for life time 👍😊
Another beautiful inspiring film EAL... thank you again😊
Genuinely the best golf content creator on UA-cam. Slick productions great content. Another course added to the list as a result of RGCF.
What???? No ace cam for EAL's tee shot!! What is this world coming to?? Love the diaries guys, keep them coming. You both be safe.
Fantastic episode, if anyone wanted me to explain why I love golf, I would ask them to watch your explanation why. True links courses are just crafted into the landscape. Many thanks, Rod
Great work! Love the golf, love the cinematography! The subtle color grading really works for the subject matter.
Erik- the music you choose for your videos is always incredible. Ever thinking about creating a public Spotify playlist so we could listen from the course? Thanks as always.
Fantastic, again. Showcasing the home of ‘gowf’. Well done
Perfect series. Looking forward to more Stu in the future!
so glad I hit a bucket before watching this video or I'd get the itch to get back out there
Fantastic mate 💯👊🏻🏴
I love these videos - you and the team have made such amazing videos. In many cases its like we are out there playing with you. Thanks so much for adding more bucket list courses to my list. LOL I am sure it has been asked but any chance of an Irish Tour at some point theres a few there that I would love to see you play on.
I don't know how you do it but your vids just keep on getting better!
I really hope that I can make it to Scotland to play golf one day
This looks awesome. I played a course similar in Cheltenham called Cleeve Hill. Except with lots of sheep, not cows. It sadly however was not nearly as well manicured as this!
The drone shots turned out amazing eric....super cool
These are so epic!! great production quality
Sleepy Hollow or Manakiki is a must Erik.
🤣cow’s love it! Scotland is just the perfect golf country.
By the way, I have to be a member of this club RGC…
Alexadra thumbnails are enticing. Great stuff
You should visit Scarista golf course on the isle of Harris
You’re so romantic. I really appreciate the romance aspect towards the course in these.
Beautiful course. Just the kind I like. Not to long. And beautiful playing partner. Erik, you got anything going with Alexandra? If not, you should.
Come to Carnoustie please
I played golf with horses today it was absolutely beautiful
When you get back to the states, see if you can play st. george’s in stony brook NY. A brutal and beautiful unforgiving course.
Stunning course
Will be going here no doubt
looks absolutely stunning. the big question is how far is it from the major courses in scotland the we the tourists want to play?
Keep up the good work!!
Pure magic
Alexandra - wow.
Tony Papas stunningly beautiful, funny, great golfer...couldn’t ask for anything else.
Do you Eric always drive the car when on tour?
1:15 uh-oh adjustment layer with the grading accidentally get doubled? Erik is almost as orange as Trump! HAHHA
Also anyone else shipping Erik and Alex? How cute and beautiful are they honestly
Another great vid 👍
Beautiful.
Brilliant 👏
Amazing!😎
want to play links so badly right now ... great videos
You’d think those cows would mooooove off the fairway...
I see I'm not the only one who noticed the sound levels were a bit all over the joint. Turn it up for the talking then the music's at a million decibels when the fly over shots cut in lol. Other than that, nice work :-)
favourite yt series
This is one of your best yet. I need a 2 hour version of this that I can purchase please.
Wow!
1:13 the color grade completely changes
Think you need to try out the Isle of Harris golf Club
Amazing
Any one want to go to Scotland with me lol looks life changing
Audio is a bit peaky in this video! The voices are super low but the bass when the music kicked in was crazy overwhelming! I think you guys need to re-mix the audio for this video, unfortunately!
Is this a coursevlog or documentary about the course
I need to go there!! Do they have carts for the ♿♿?
Anyone know what kind of hat Erik is wearing? With the mallards on it?
Look at the bird at 11:20
color grade layer snaps on @ 1:15
As much as I love the RGC headcovers, the Seamus give the bag so much more personality
Did someone click the saturation button on at 1:14?
Was it 140?...
