what watch is he wearing?
Remove pace of play and I’ll stop and smell and check those views out. Otherwise got the Marshall an ol man Withers group on me.
What a great video! Love to hear more on the architecture of golfcourses, super interesting.
Love this video. Love Augie. Él Unsay (hope I spelled that right) is going to be a bucket list course for me.
I could listen to him for hours, please break down more holes!
Actually, the Old Course has existed for centuries.
And me here with Sweeten's just a few hills and hollers away. Still looking to get on. I'm taking hickories.
best golf channel on youtube 🔥
One of the things I love about RGC is the way you guys bring course architecture into the mix. It's a great blend of playing golf with a deeper level of understanding about the courses
Great video!
Bien hecho!
Oh Erik how Iv missed these videos from you! Hope you’re doing well! Can’t wait to see the next one!
Agui, keep doing vids…love to hear YOU “painting” the holes…bravo!
You can tell this guy loves the work he does. If only we could all figure out what that looked like in our lives lol
17 in March at sawgrass is amazing. We get to see who the real craftsmen are. Who knows how to gauge wind, and choose the right shot.
Love the Tobacco Road recognition. So much fun to play.
World-Class?? What has that mf build apart from a chip n putt??
He looks like Gale Boetticher from Breaking Bad
I’m actually interested in maybe becoming a golf course architect. Very helpful!
Great video. Any updates on the course he and Brandel Chamblee are building in Mexico?
As always you provide the content we all actually want to see.
Fantastic!
Tell you what this is real random and not about the topic at hand here. But I have been all about that IWC Big Pilot watch hes wearing. And this video, seeing the vibe and style on wrist from this guy, sealed the deal for me that its my next watch purchase. Its a tremendous piece
this was awesome! THANKS!
I would really like to play with him on my home course in sweden just to hear his input on it.
This gives me architect digest vibes
The 15th at Cypress Point is the first guitar solo in "Comfortably Numb", and the 16th is the second solo in the same song.
17 at Sawgrass…? Really?
Mr. Piza – You are the right person to answer this question. Regarding #17 at TPC sawgrass- I do not see that hole as being that difficult. It is not a long shot, it is very large green. My thought is that the issue the pros are having is that they do not simply hit it into the middle of the green. Most of the water balls as I see it are the result of them trying to hit to areas of the green that are simply sucker pins – front right and left, back right. Granted if you hit to the middle, there is a (very) long breaking putt, and you have lost the opportunity for a birdie. The one day I played the hole (6 handicap), I hit to the middle, and then three putted, but I had a reasonable chance for par, and avoided double or worse.
Am I wrong about this? When the wind is up is it difficult even to just get it anywhere on the green?
Tell me with a straight face that Sawgrass #17 doesn’t look like someone pooping a golf ball 🙈
why his lamp shade rocking?
Fantastic! I've always armchair analyzed my favorite courses and tried to figure out what I like and don't like. Usually, though, it's more about the views and beer availability rather than the game itself.
Fascinating, coming from a golf Sicko
Good one 👍🏼
Really cool episode.
I hate that he talks like we are supposed to know everything he's talking about… He looks so passionate, I would love to be able to understand a bit more about what he's saying. Lovely video otherwise!
The thumbnail made me think his two other jobs were a meth cook and a lawyer!
St andrews en around for decades? Wow! 😂
