THE GLENEAGLES HOTEL Ryder Cup Match // Scotland Ep. 14

we’re out here in the wild you take any opportunity you can to get some food in substance these berries here taste like which means it’s usually not poisonous [Music] all right 6:50 a.m. how you feelin before the match call I noticed you put a few more clubs in your bag you’re not playing with a half set anymore morning how are you bridge the gap morning I had to bridge the gap between the 3 and the 6 I felt during a 5 and then as well in the lower clubs I think we’re going 6 check out the gap to have a gap which what do you think the game plan is for for us keep it in play is the goal for us definitely I’m interested in that this course looks like the only one that knows the steward maybe ends consignment so we’ve got a strong disadvantage but maybe an advantage not knowing where the trouble is right I’m liking that I subscribe to that Callaway what’s the game plan a14 America we get up on an early and just keep on pressing on even harder Stepan I like it squeezing out a lot of that like that’s aggressive and I like it my man Simon what’s up dude are you Scott l’m getting reunited alright so once again big day basically our second to last day it’s all coming to an end Eric yeah we got three more rounds one of them is most important round of my life the Ryder Cup there’s a lot of professional golfers say Ryder Cup is you know one of the greatest formats in golf it’s an honor to play for my country and you know I’m just thinking about it like what can I do for my team it means so much more you know yeah you feel that way too men always love playing for your country yeah Stars and Stripes team Scotland what’s the game plan guys I don’t know I think you know what you say just say Oh Simon I’m just ready for some domination all right time to talk business how we doing this no cameras who’s gonna officiate this Ryder Cup scoring Greg come on over here stamp step on the podium Craig guy neutral party take school big Scottish so this is an issue how do we score it here because we poor people in Stewart’s Colton Simon handicaps Simon five cool I mean European 512 fine I’m like 15 I say 15 probably [Music] what do you think well that’s probably about you Simon cool a–probably and I’ll take sex jokes three aside deal all right Stuart kids three pops and the three of us are playing straight-up I’m undefeated in match play we have to win so happy we’re partners we have to win thank you see you soon enjoy man thank you see you soon man not all problems dude we’re gonna do a little three hours on the sash after the round maybe we’ll see you in there bring a newspaper no big deal [Music] let me say Craig and fell back to the last year and greens just on the edge of that left three perfectly on the last day all right Team America some some serious trouble war one hold down on the second hole Colt and I both pushed our tee shots into this I’m actually just behind the ladies tee on a mound I’ve got to sixty front edges of par for folks all right so we won the third hole walk over the fourth hole Stewart pops on this hole Simon quick question is it and nor threat but there’s a Western East so the East is called the Glen which bike chances are James great design like yeah 1906 you’re welcome and it’s really cool as well amazing views of the bass rock but yeah the West looks is the championships [Music] [Applause] Wow licks up to a scam whoa there’s a little dip back there we don’t know what’s going on whoa we could just see the Fox we thought the flag is over the slope Simon was tracking it was a laser beam we don’t know it might be in the Hall Simon just drilled it if the balls are there it’s there might be a little slope back there oh wait China China what ad the greatest Posse player ever left some Matthew Galloway literally just turns up out of nowhere so do we know yet do we know yet if it’s a hole-in-one whoo let’s go fast you might recognize Simon from the a Swedish episode he was the one that suggested we go there he created an episode of interest in golf you the only person eaten Thai food eaten Thai food we then went to Thailand later and you were also in the first episode of adventures in golf so you have two cavities yeah you’ve done you’ve no one has ever been in that many ups of the dimensions of golf aside from uh yeah cuz he was it yeah you’re right cuz he was in solstice and or Earvin golf there you go you’re getting your numbers how many cores have you played inside the top 100 world top 100 I played exactly 90 of the current list that Golf Magazine 2017 list and they change the listen you get frustrated yeah you just kind of focus on what evolution gets you first never played here no how many courses in Scotland have you played I guess probably maybe 40 or 50 maybe more I don’t know it’s kind of one of these things I probably think I’ve played more than a half you’ve played more golf outside of Scotland by far yeah yeah probably play I do know roughly a three back 220 courses probably played more I wonder how many I play I kid I don’t know 220 courses that’s a good number laughs I’d more obscure [Music] George came to play and we are hey clarify we are three down right so we’re three down on the ninth hole I have officially lost my swing Craig would you say that’s true okay he’ll also swing that’s three three times to the Americans at the minute feedback may not be chance to get back I don’t know why all of a sudden that cheered me up I’m not too sure I should be supporting more yeah I appreciate that that’s that’s actually really nice thing to say let’s go the home home card so I think democratically you should be happy for whoever wins yeah and side with either loser yeah I’m just having problems in my swing you know I know what it is I think it’s just a little too much golf maybe I don’t know it could be this is a beautiful hole this hole our record abroad well I’m sure your records not bad I’m undefeated yeah in Scotland so far but walking onto the 11th hole we find ourselves down by four so I’ve lost about five balls Eric’s lost about by three or four but anyway we’re still in this unbelievably so we got to take a mandatory 10 minute break here I think Coffee time whole Surrey I think coffee time is really gonna switch it up this I think we asked what a promise I had enough caffeine I need some more my god yeah I think we gonna get some wait you don’t drink a lot of coffee all right that’s right I forgot Stuart’s a magic plague I like literally yesterday I don’t know you lost the ball on every shot today literally disagree on that for us it’s just I just want to thank you guys so bad please just show me what you do what I do this is the yang yeah you know the Scots are winning yeah they’re beating the piss out of us four down through ten we got clubs yeah we’re getting looks from the green we are the obnoxious Americans right now we really are cheaters but here’s the Glen evil spheres play 18 the Glen Eagles in the morning head over

sure golf aasaiya tees so there’s that and honesty box please pay here when the clubhouse is closed I love these little spots too guys hey this is great Alan just told me this is where Carly booth learn to play golf here’s the routing map I love a little nine established in 1891 Wow to the final tee shot here and Stu’s really working on lag always replace your divots guys he’s gonna handle itself cut off the left-hand side see how he goes Matthews gonna be fine in the cheese this could go in the hole this could get on the green all right second hole we’re not really sure this is a par three but it’s sort enough to be a scam blackberries you eat them Kelly not gonna come dying on us out here are you Bear Grylls getting showing up at his own game taste it babies we’re really to taste delicious Wow like the key with these is to no overdo it this is called a delicious delicious [Music] is cool is it cool course and kind of low-key highlight of the trip – yeah I can’t tell why I’m trying to figure out the greens are all flat no you know what it is – it’s uh it’s mad bringing that we have that energy I mean the guy drove three and a half hours from England from another country yeah like I came in hot from another country that’s like inspiring for us and like and like it’s almost like in a marathon every mile people throw you water yes it’s almost like that’s what that is and this water was paleo cookies there’s some Sucher and how’s this lighting right now it uh mad good [Music] we all just did a bit of an outfit change the Sun came out it is blazing Galloway went down to shorts everyone shield your eyes gorgeous man see what’s cool about this place is it for me solidifies the idea that like the Gulf is actually a bigger part of Earth is that me or you you know it’s like you sort of like I mean this is an interesting course for sure right man it’s awesome I love this place why don’t we all love it it’s just a vibe man I think it’s a very like it’s a feel yeah you know it’s like you a place and you just feel the moment it’s all about a moment’s yeah right cuz like no joke like we went to Royal Dornoch yeah and like we tried we tried to feel it but it’s not like we were hating it but it was just like it would didn’t have the feel we felt like we were in the I felt I was in the Beverly Center which is a mall in Los Angeles but you got gala like 31 31 yeah I like that yeah kind of wet air a little elevation I’m just swinging this club over my back across the line like I’m a fighter Oh ladies and gentlemen he’s back what he says 3-1 and I sail the green by 20 yards please tell me it’s 105 please tell me it’s 105 it doesn’t look like 105 it looks like 130 I must have juice on this what is it it’s not pick up the flag yeah it’s not picking up the flag that’s my fault ro Galloway throwing out numbers check out this little spot this where my ball landed with Matthew I miss club me I went this is so dope doesn’t this further like confirm the idea of doing a whole episode of unknown 900% all over Scotland this is one this is it this is the first one that’s a James Braid egg that’s one of his children waiting to hatch and build another 400 golf courses I don’t know what it is man but this place is like we were saying it’s like a highlight of the trip and I think part of it is just because it’s like it just doesn’t feel intentionally anything other than what it is no there’s nothing commercial but this is just this a pod crew people walk ride and enjoy themselves taking the scenery and tranquility and just an escape how do you think they took Devore their trees up here you think in 1891 that they had to take down all I’m seeing a Mach one driver make its appearance on the tee for the first time apparently Matthew is trying to hit this fall into the Sun I think someone in town just looked up this probably won’t make the edit but look at the hole it goes back up in the woods into a little del Connery who are you at Connery get that on camera I think I just played too much golf it’s alright we’re gonna just we’re just gonna calm down just gonna collect ourselves I had a bad lie the ball was a quarter of an inch above my feet you know which is really hard for me I like to about have an eighth of an inch below my feet but you know can always go to one one tip I’ll give anyone who’s going into the forest make sure you wear white pants that way you can see how much you get on your pants do what this must looks fresh you can actually see if you look closely in the murse you can only smell it there’s a bit like and back to the part make it make it make it come on come on [Music] sweetie did you through us fun Alec thank you appreciate it [Applause] [Music]

Erik Anders Lang and the crew continue the James Braid train at Gleneagles’ King’s course that’s a great example of parkland golf. The Gleneagles Hotel is a 5-star golf resort that hosted the 2014 Ryder Cup and will host the 2019 Solheim Cup this year.
The King’s course was designed by James Braid 100 years ago and is a challenging test of golf that’s laid out over the rolling hills of Perthshire.
In this episode, a Ryder Cup-style match between Scotland and USA is held, a guest of the show brings Paleo Cookies, and a sleeper 9-hole track is discovered.
