Every Shot at Santa Anita Golf Course - Front 9 - EAL Course Vlog
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 06. 2024
- 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’d love to see Erik commentate some pga tour events. He has a good golf voice
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
Eliot is a BEAST at editing. Really like his work.
He is next level!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
Yes!!! My Dad, Grandpa, and I used to play this course every Saturday morning. Back nine special for $22 waking. Love it!
Remember these well, probs seen you out there
Honestly, playing bad is something to learn from. And you didn’t even play that bad. Keep up the good vids I love them so much.
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!
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.
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.
Thanks Erik! I love these videos! makes me feel like I'm on the course with you.
Thanks, man. It's both intimidating and fun to film. At least this time around I had an idea of what I was getting into as opposed to the first edition at Rustic Canyon.
@@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.
Didn’t think I’d enjoy EAL’s channel more than I already do and then he started making these course vlogs... thanks EAL!
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.
Really like this format. Played 9 last night and I can relate to your commentary of what you plan to do and what actually happens. Long live the scramble par!
commentary really brings these course vlogs home
Best course vlog on CZcams. Way to go EAL
Easily my favorite golf channel on CZcams, always providing us with crisp, entertaining content that is just plain enjoyable to watch. Keep it up
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 ...
These videos are really relaxing for me. I think it’s your melodic and dulcet tone of voice.
Watching your videos has definitely improved my golf game. I am now at the point where I can hit the ball almost as far as I throw my clubs.
Thanks for making such an incredible video, Erik. I watch this episode every time I get home sick, because it reminds me of when I play Santa Anita with my Dad. Amazing work, keep it up!
As a certified arborist, I appreciate all the great footage you captured at Santa Anita! But seriously, thanks again for the vlogs. I like the new format.
I played this course for my High School matches VS Arcadia and San Marino... Elevated greens but very short and no hazards. Impossible to lose a ball here!
Hands down best course vlogs on CZcams EAL is on a different level!!
Clicked so fast on this video. Play here all the time so stoked you played here Erik. Big fan keep making great content
I like seeing all shots because you show all the good and bad shots and that is what golf is about and we all have good and bad shots
👍
Really digging the graphics! Adding the pin location off the tee shot is incredibly helpful and should be standard on all course vlogs. Nice work Erik!
Thanks for the shout out early in the video. Played ahead of you at Soule Park last week, hope you enjoyed it. Would be a great course for a vlog.
white shot tracer looking clean as usual. great course vlog E
Thank you so much for posting this. I love these vids
This editing is to die for >>
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.
Great vlog man! Commentary is awesome.
Course vlogs are tough.. Trying to play your best golf, vlog every shot, keep up with pace of play... Super tough.
Thanks for taking us with you.
I've done my fair share of course vlogs and at times they really do ruin ur gane and make you feel very rushed!
Love the flag above the actual flag, thanks Eliot 🤟
Really loving the Vlogs. Including the self-critique at times! This is the golf content I love.
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.
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.
I appreciate that in a way that is really meaningful. I tend to feel caught up with wanting to perform and entertain. But I never said I was a great golfer - so thank you for being ok with that.
Week straight of rain down here in Nashville, TN. Thanks for making it feel like I’m out on the course!
Erik, the shot tracers on this video are some of the best I've ever seen!!! More course vlogs Please !!!
Love these course vlogs Erik! Keep them coming please. Even if you shot 100 I’d still watch. It’s about your commentary and your willingness to show us every shot
Can’t wait for part two man. Watching these videos gets me fired up to play. It’s been the best way to keep a level head during these weird times.
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.
Thanks Eric, love the videos, cant wait to see the back 9!
Love all of your work. Your delivery with commentary, style, and wealth of golf knowledge is impressive. Coolest golf vlogger on the tube. 😎
"On my way to a 3 putt... really a bad example of my putting ability"
Relatable
These are really so great, not only for playing tips, but your valuable insight into the mental side of the game. Love it
Great video Erik (and Elliot).
Glad to see you taken on some advice from your previous Course Vlog vid.
This format of video is absolutely fantastic, love the shot tracer and commentary
Just keep doing what you’re doing bro man dude. I love all the shot tracers and the info on all the holes. GREAT job
I love these videos man, keep doing what ur doing
And congratulations on 100k
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.
Love the course vlogs, EAL! Keep them coming.
This was the Bishop Amat HS home course for my entire high school golf career; I’ve played in numerous regions/countries since then -yet this is the epitome of LA County Public Links Golf
Love the video format, remember that most of us watching you make the same mistakes and shots that you make. Your videos "GOLF IS: An Opportunity" and "Watch This Before You Play Golf" changed the way I looked at golf. Thank you and keep it up!!!
EAL, I don't think I could possibly enjoy these anymore. Love the format, graphics, and all that goes into it. Fun to hear you repeat some similar thoughts that all golfers have! lol
These are amazing! Love walking the course with ya Erik
Great video EAL! It’s always good to see that even low handicappers have there 3 putts too! Love the commentary and being able to hear insight on how to approach each hole.
Please do this more. LOVE IT.
Love Santa Anita. Was born down the street at Methodist Hospital. No longer live in CA, but was the course I learned the game on. Good stuff.
Love the video, love the format, love the commentary. Just a relaxing and entertaining video. Keep up the good work and if you don't succeed in this line of work you can easily get a work at a radio station, your voice is so smooth and nice to listen to.
Amazing that you’re new to doing the course vlog thing. These are literally the best. From the editing and graphics to the great and humorous commentary. Really the best. Great job and keep these coming.
Looks so much like Golf Sidekick's vids
These videos are fantastic! Great work. Your follow-lines, commentary and filming are second to none.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! PLEASE KEEP DOING THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the love of all that is sacred and holy Erik PLEASE GET YOUR SLEEP WE NEED THESE VLOGS!
Love the honesty with which you commentate , sometimes laced with irony. Enjoyed the vlog, look forward to catching up with others you have done. It’s good to see these videos reflect the way us mere mortals struggle to cope with the trails of golf.
This is exactly what I want to do. I love the insight you give during each hole. Can’t wait for more!!!
I love these course vlogs. Really good stuff man.
I've watched 1000s of course vlogs on CZcams over the years, and you Mr. EAL are the master of them. Can't wait for the back 9.
Very well put together, love the voice overs and love the course vlogs!!!
These course vlogs really make me want to play golf!
Love this format. Gives so much good vibes and energy to just play more whatever the result of the game is. Play your shot and move on to the next.
Looking forward to part 2, these are really fun to watch. Keep up the great work EAL team!
best golf content on youtube, and it is not even close.
Love this format. Hope you do a lot more of these
I Love this new format, The shot tracer is fantastic. I live about 45 min from this course and have never played it. Looks like fun. Thanks for the tour.
I love watching you play and hear what you’re thinking about. And when I play golf and playing bad I legit think “ what would Erik do...” and that just calms me down
Well produced and fun to watch! Keep em coming
Love this- i havent been able to play, but i love how real this is. We all hit bad shots, we all hit good shots, and I love seeing these courses i'll likely never play
I loved the shot tracer in this video. The commentary was spot on and absolutely great. Btw on hole 6, the 303 yd. drive was something else; your swing looked awesome. Keep it up.
Thanks man! There’s one on the back nine that was fun
I love these course vlogs. It’s reassuring to see someone with a great swing, plays with great golfers and a lot of course experience openly admit his play struggles. Golf is humbling and hard, but so worth it... even for 1 out of 18 holes. And good players top it too 🤣
Love the course vlogs please keep me coming!!
Really enjoy these Erik! Keep them coming!
Love these Golf Vlogs. Amazing format.
Love the videos, your Channel has really made myself enjoy golf again!
Stumbled on these shot for shot videos and will be watching them all, so kuch fun watching the casual rounds!
These vlogs are fantastic. It is nice to have a dressed down version of a round rather than the fantasy world of most PGA tour broadcasts. If you go to tournaments, then you know plenty of sub par shots are hit, but rarely televised. Keep it up dude!
I've followed you for a while and this is the first video I watched from beginning to end.
loving the vlogs, making me think differently about how i approach my rounds now, keep them coming
Erik is the professional average golfer that both gives us both hope and empathy
Everytime I watch your video's I book a tie time to get out there myself! Thank YOU
always enjoy the these every shot videos! Inspire me to get out and go play with more motivation and enjoy my round even more!
Loved this, keep 'em coming!
Keep these coming bro! I absolutely love this series!
We need more videos like these!
As a long time subscriber I have always loved your different approach to golf and golf content. However these last few course vlogs have been truly classy, excellently produced and a great insight to your personal experience on the course, cheers Eric
"like water in the desert"
yeah..... golf one of the few reprieves we have right now. thanks for sharing your round Erik. loving these.
Really enjoying the new ‘warts and all’ vlogs. Great to listen to how you plot your way around the course.
