Of course you could. A 16 handicap golfer could easily break 90.
It's the easiest course on any Major rota.

Too bad had to hit off mat
Puts with shot tracers is such an accurate description for links golf
LFG make something happen out there!
Was there like a week after you all were there and played the new course.. couldn’t afford the old course.. wife kept score and we walked it together… what an experience
That's not a hard course in no wind. Yes i know there is some wind for for there, its no wind.
I haven't seen the finish, but he can easily break 90. It's those mats. EAL is more than good enough to hit distances with short irons and wedges. He just keeps leaving himself with impossible 2 putts.
They were selling Goodr sunglasses at the Masters this year. I bought a Masters green pair, and was so bummed they didn’t have the ANGC logo on them.
Great upload! Cant wait for Part 2! A+ EAL!
Your irons are almost always short of your target. Sea level with cool temps….
I wish other youtube golfers would do this!
I read lips: he is going 2 under on the back. Great video, I could listen to the Scottish caddie read a phone book.
Fame at last, it was myself who said "big hitters this way" on the 12th tee. 😁
Surely yes….
Great start! You can tell he's pretty comfortable after playing here a few times.
Who's the other player? The one who will be in the Open?
Oh boy! Fingers crossed you got your club lengths dialed in the back 9, but 90 seems very much doable at this point. Continuing to love the series.
Great nine EAL! Course looks great
Next stop Augusta 👀👀👀
If you don't do it on this course, you never will.
If I had my READING glasses on, I could see the ball on the green 150 Yards away…lol
When is the app available in the UK?
Great first half – looks like holes 13-17 will be a tough stretch. Looking forward to the second video!
The bird tracer is one of the many things that make RGC my favorite golf channel =]
Posting this without watching, but the Old Course doesn't seem to have quite the same knife edge between success and failure as The Country Club did. The key will be whether EAL managed to stay out of the pot bunkers.
But, geeze, hit a few warmup balls and putts before setting out on a championship golf course.
I would still chuck it hitting off those tiny little mats
Hey, you are back with Taylormade? Good for you. You have the highest level of golf content on yt. So well produced, EVERY FUCKING TIME. Waiting for your Netflix or Amazon video deal.
When you say “In just a few days some of the best golfers in the world are going to land here to show their skill at the game of golf.”
Do you mean from when the video was uploaded rather than from when the video was shot? This looks to have been shot a while ago, no grandstand behind the 18th green and no practice range set up on the Jubilee.
You canny trick a local Fifer
So I’m guessing those mats are so the fairways don’t have divots during the open?
Best golf videos on youtube. So well done and fun to watch. Erik was made to do these vidoes.
On a golf note those mats compress at the bottom and cause the ball to ride up the face and cause everything to be short. Just one more club and hes 3-4 strokes lower.
Please stop plopping the putter onto the turf/green. It gives me the willies. Truly enjoy your videos though.
Hate hitting from mats, kills the immersion for me. I feel your pain EAL
I can't listen to his caddy, without thinking he's Scrooge McDuck
Well, I guess ill take a half hour break…
You have a great swing EAL! Like BUD-DA !!!!!!
Too bad you couldn't get Will Arnett to narrate again for this one
Lol thought it was a knuckleball and was getting more spin than normal
I shot 81 there off a 7 handicap but I wasn’t off the back tees.
What a pristine feeling it must be to stop at your ball in the fairway, of the Old Course, discuss with your caddie distance to the pin, wind direction and club selection. All of this at St Andrews, on the course the Old Tom Morris designed. Wow. This is so on my bucket list. Thank you for sharing this perfect golf day, no matter what you score. The gentleman caddying for you was perfect.
I love that St. Andrews is in the middle of the town. You're just walking down the street past a bar, then all of a sudden it's like, "Hey, I'm at a golf course…"
Also the caddie was great. Seemed like a real genuine guy.
Awesome front 9! Looking forward to the back.
Great video as always but I’ll be honest, 90 seems too easy a target for a player of your calibre and easier weather conditions. It also felt like you left a few out there – mainly because of those mats.
yes, 32 mins pure gold👌
this has more mystery that Agatha Christie movie you just don't know what's going to happen next the Erik tension .
