  • Erik Anders Lang heads to Santa Anita Golf Course in Los Angeles for the second edition of the Course Vlog series. Santa Anita was opened in 1935, and it was designed by James Harrison Smith-- his first and last course that he designed. Erik shares his shot by shot account, and goes into great detail of his round at this hidden gem overlooking the San Gabriel Mountains. The strategy remains the same: to shoot as low of a score as he can. What do you think his front 9 score will be?

      I read this as he hit a wood out of the rough 40 yards doesn’t carry 3 wood and beats up a muni, he is a shoe in

    Honestly, clicked on it thinking I would NOT like this. Next thing I knew, I had been watching for 20 mins. Great vid. Man those greens are brutal.

      greens don't look too bad, slope wise. they were just running slow so he needed to adjust

    Was really cool to see a course vlog on a "normal" course. I can see myself playing here so it was definitely a fun change of pace!

  • @johnnyhunter
    @johnnyhunter Před 4 lety

    We appreciate that you show us every shot "naked", although thankfully not in the literal sense of the word. Golf is an incredibly humbling game and showing us the highs & the lows is a key component.

  • @arongarza1744
    @arongarza1744 Před 4 lety +1

    Erik, I think the reason we like these course Vlogs so much is because you're one of the most relatable golf CZcamsrs. Just like a lot of us you fell in love with this game later on in life and haven't looked back. You're transparent with your bad shots just as much as your good ones. I watch these right before I hit the course. Keep up the good work buddy.

  • @davidschinnerer5781
    @davidschinnerer5781 Před 3 lety

    I play here every Thursday for the last ten years...so cool to see it on You tube. Really fun course. Lots of contours on fairways, elevated greens, no water, but errant drives are punished with trees. We love our home course! Thanks for these videos!

  • @TDavies31
    @TDavies31 Před 4 lety +4

    The thing I really enjoy about EAL and these vlogs is that he shows us the good and the bad throughout his game, and it makes for really relatable and entertaining content.

  • @ronito886
    @ronito886 Před 4 lety +1

    I used to live in Arcadia and played Santa Anita a lot. Old school course for sure. People look at the score card and think it’s a nothing course, but it has a lot of texture to it. You can go low for sure, but there are a lot of trees and the greens are tricky and many are elevated so you can’t see all the pins. Great review of a local SoCal muni course!

  • @MattHardy0
    @MattHardy0 Před 4 lety

    Man, don't worry about the filmography. We all know that you're a master producer and that's part of the reason why we're all here. But all of that comes from having someone on the camera that isn't you. Don't worry about it, these videos are rad.

  • @thepicknpops
    @thepicknpops Před 4 lety

    This is so much more helpful to the average player than watching pros just get around in level par. Still high level golf but with the same occasional bad strike that we all wrestle with, not to mention the mental battle.

      @@RandomGolfClubFilms It really is great content to have. I'm actually deployed overseas and it been a minute since I've been able to get onto a course. Shows like yours keep really help us get through those droughts, especially now with what's going on in the world. Keep it up! You are spreading the love of the game to the next generation.

  • @Liffdaddy
    @Liffdaddy Před 4 lety +1

    I know you questioned that chip shot where you and the ball were out of frame but I actually think that that kind of view works there, we can track the ball almost the entire way. On other chip shots your ball disappears over the fringe, though obviously that's where the commentary comes into play. That being said another awesome video, definitely like the format.

  • @douglashorne5745
    @douglashorne5745 Před 4 lety +6

    These are the best forms of golf content out there, especially when you're familiar with the courses and it takes you back, or if you've never played it before and get an idea of what it's like. That's motivating then to go play it. Please continue making these ...

    I respect how your starting to put yourself out there with the "break 90?" videos and now with these course vlogs, it is almost like humanizing yourself showing us not only your great skill, but your mistakes making you more relatable to your fans. I commend you for making yourself vulnerable and showing us that your just another golfer just like us, one leg at a time, thanks erik.

    I love the fact that you record these on your iPhone. I absolutely love tech, and it's simply incredible to me that a vast majority of people have a piece of equipment in their pockets, at all times, that can record video of this quality. It's insane. Thanks for another super high quality video Erik. Love your content.

  • @Joehockey1990
    @Joehockey1990 Před 4 lety

    You could break par or fail to break 100 and these would still be a fantastic watch. You talk about the course and it's design/layout, what you're thinking, what you would do differently, and it really shows your love for the game.

    • @RandomGolfClubFilms

  • @TheVanDamminator
    @TheVanDamminator Před 4 lety

    I know it's tough to shake the innate pressure that comes with showing each shot, but know that there is more endearment and relatability in your descent into madness than there is amusement. Loved the mysterious aspect of a muni course that you've never played too- for so many of us, its commonplace at the $30 and under courses with airation holes, mismatched rough, sprinklers in the middle of your round. That said, I know you don't play for score; well, we don't watch for score either sir. Keep on keepin on my man.

    Viewing from Kansas where it's currently raining and I tossed out my back a week ago while staying at home/social distancing working in the yard, thus no actual golf being played now for several days. Pandemic sucks, but sucks even worse with a bad back. Respect the back everyone. Thanks for the awesome Vlog of this round at what looks like a hidden gem of a muni. Love the ball tracker on every shot!! Looking forward to the back 9.
