While we were in Massachusetts for this Break 90, we recorded an episode of The Erik Anders Lang Show with Will Ahmed, Founder & CEO of WHOOP. Had a great conversation! Check it out on the new RGC Radio KZfaq Channel. Watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6uFhL1hrtCmgJs.html&ab_channel=RGCRadio

Favorite moment is at 14:00 when Eric slices the living hell out of his drive. Francis quietly tosses him a ball. EAL retees. Stripes it down the middle. This is golf.

I don't normally leave comments but glad Eric came back to do these and the caddie interaction is great

I wish there was one of these every week. The golf is so relatable with Erik. You can tell one round he will just smash 90

Francis has the perfect temperament, amount of support and encouragement, and great tone after a less-than-good shot. Would love to play a round with him and Erik!!

The best series going on RGC. I know EAL wants to fade into the background a bit more, but he's still the man. This stuff rocks.

The ebullient optimism that characterized your earlier videos has been replaced with a grim resolve. That is part of the evolution of a warrior. I am so glad you have not given up on making golf videos. You bring a high mindedness to the game that is unique.

Been playing great golf the last 3 months and just had 2 of the worst rounds of my life. The mental destruction while its happening is real and so difficult. But overcoming it, is the sweetest thing. You just gotta trust yourself. Such is life. Golf is great!!

Battling through 7400 yards without command of your driver is a tall, tall task. Impressive and fun!

I love these. The honesty, the banter, the feel. Makes me feel like I'm the one out there playing.

The look EAL has here is reminiscent of one of the really good amateurs you had on a breaking series. Just saying it bodes well! These are my favorite golf videos on yt. 🙌

Great! I was looking forward to another video. Hey EAL, I was hoping that in future videos you might spotlight some of the big trees on the courses you visit. They're often storied and for many players they're sort-of like friends you always get to visit with when you play a familiar course. I know that some trees in the UK are historical trees with special significance. And if you find yourself in British Columbia, I hear that old giant trees are all over there. Trees and native plants make not make for good interviews but they're a fun feature to enjoy on many courses.

What an amazing caddie! Loved how on #7 he basically got ya to the 3 iron in a very encouraging way, instead of saying "Dude your driver sucks today!" :)

Eric and his IMAGINARY 6 handicap. It's about as real as that club twirl dork at Pinehurst.

Random Golf Club really has some of the best filming. Absolutely love watching these.

Shows you how hard these courses are. This was probably filmed in April or early May. See the trees. And the rough is short. I bet it's super long this week in the Open.

Don’t overlook the awesomeness of the background music at 4:30. It reminds me of my childhood grocery shopping with Mom.

Erik, honestly these videos are some of my favorite to watch. Great golf courses and relatable comments: "Stuck city" - I was there last week and my 5 iron is still a resident there now.

These videos are awesome. I also really appreciate how you go out of your way to not hit off the nicely mown fairways. I really does help protect for the competitors

Talk about perfect timing at 28:40. The reverse signal as your ball disappears over the horizon of the green. Like a desperado at the end of the film. How poetic.

This course is going to rip the pros apart. The rough is looking gnarly in recent days. Dumping a shot into a greenside bunker will be considered favorable to the rough. Can't wait!!

Saying the driver is his favourite club in the bag then proceeds to miss every fairway by 60 yards

That felt like a PoV of me playing the easiest muni course. Good video as always.

I played a US Open course today. Last years course, Torrey Pines South. Felt like EAL out there trying to hit my target score but also trying to not even think about it like that. I was just so happy to be out there that the score became secondary to the experience. Also was my first time walking 18 and first time playing a whole round with one ball. What a day. Thanks to RGC for fueling my love for this wonderful game.

Am I the only one that thinks the golf glove at certain angles makes it look like EAL has a prosthetic hand? Love the vids. Don't ever stop.

EAL, I respect you so much more than I already do for putting yourself on the line in US Open conditions. The Open is designed to break the games and spirits of the best in the work and you held in there!

This week more than ever I am honored to be a recipient of the Francis Ouimet Memorial Scholarship. I've lived like a mile from the course for years and I cannot wait to finally see it up close. Every Open venue is spectacular but this one holds a very special place in the history of the sport, site of the greatest game ever played.

Thanks god a new post, Ive funnelled all your content into my eye sockets recently . Thanks for the great work

I was just watching brake 90 lmao all day and night. And look there's a new one. Makes my day when you guys upload a video thank you.

I have been playing golf most of my life and this dude has a great attitude. The caddie is great too. I learned after many years of playing that Ty Webb was right about everything. A flute without holes is not a flute and a donut without a hole is a danish. NANANANANANA. So what? So let's dance!!!!

The tractor shot tracer at 15:58…chef kiss. Well played

Never watched this channel before. Based on the intro, I’d subscribe twice. Great video!

The silence at 14:09 tells it all. The US open you’d better have a short game .. OH ya better keep it in the fairway! I think putting on those greens would destroy any confidence I had in believing I was a good putter! It’s takes a lot from a golfer to go out and play and know your defeated before you tee off, I applauded your effort Eric!

26:08 Always remember folks, in this situation where you see the green at the far end of the shot-window? The entire purpose of this hole is to entice players to go for the green, totally thinking that they can carry that entire distance and not leave the ball short and left or right in trouble. He's on a downhill lie in the rough under a branch which doesn't completely obscure the shot but it's definitely going to control the shot-window high. So he needs that ball to stay low under that branch. If it hits that branch, where it goes will be total luck. Off an uphill lie out of the rough, with a 4-iron, 200 yards to the center. Ball below his feet slightly, with his shotline straight to the left side of the green. He's going to try to bump and run a 4 iron onto the green. He has at most a 5 deg window to play that shot. The layout has already taken 1 stroke off him on the tee-shot. He's about to give it at least another stroke. There is just no fucking way that he's going to put that 4-iron onto the green. The very best possible outcome here is that he plays out to the fairway and hits on the green in 3. And wonder of wonders, holy of holies, he actually pitched that ball to the right front edge of the green, just on the fringe. Now here I have to say one thing. That shot took a lot of balls...combined with very-little brains. But he pulled it off, and now he has one shot to be proud of. And when you hear golfers talk about "the Golf Gods"? That's what they're talking about. You can't make a dumb shot if you're too smart to even try it, and that's what often happens when you get dumb enough to try, the Golf Gods will reward you with a good result. But then again when you're +13 after 8 on a video where you're supposed to be breaking 90, you're staring at another double on #9 and still have the back to play which means you're looking at 105, possibly 110 if things really get ugly? What the fuck do you really have to lose. The pitch out of the rough was not a bad idea especially give n that window, the problem was pitching it to the GREEN which was just asking for it to go in the water. And it did come fairly close to going into the water. Even pitching "long" like that was still asking for it to hit a tree next to the green and bounce into the water. That shot was so stupid that it is hardly funny and it was a really lucky result given all the peril there in the shot. But hey he made it to the fringe meaning that he didn't have to actually chip to the hole. So instead he putted 10 feet left of the pin. Same result, just much more "interesting" than chipping to the fairway and pitching on the green. Maybe he'd tried and failed to do that one time too many. Well, now you have a 10-footer across the fall-line for par.

03:50 "You don't want to be long", "No, you don't want to be long" "Why don't we just hit a 5-iron at the opening? It'll skip forward...." "OH, MY!!!" LOL And the comedy-golf continues. ....and like I said, you're going to be +3 on the first hole. Let's make this a special moment. We'll skip forward to #10.

Eric being a single-digit hanidcapper and struggling this hard is an extremely humbling reminder to my 20+ handicap self that no, I definitely cannot make those same shots that the guys on TV are doing.

What most people don't get is that your handicap is what you shoot on a good day. Most 5 handicaps really are shooting around 80. No 5 handicap is going to break 90 at a US Open setup. No chance.

LFG!!!! Beautiful course and amazing job shooting this one! Francis effect in FULL EFFECT!!! Let's GOOO!!!!!

I truly enjoy watching your videos. Being a fellow Texan makes it even better.

Forget putting "It Opens Up ... Over There" on a t-shirt. How about EAL's face at 14:35 instead? Now that's a tee I'd rock. Says a lot about golf in one facial expression.

Great to see Francis and Erick together. Greetings from El Paso Texas. My Kid and I met you guys at the Master's watch party at Austin.

Left to right putts are so hard and fall low a lot because people look at the hole as a target and tend to push their club towards that. From now on when its a left to right putt find a target left of the hole and dont look at the hole again. I have found that this has helped my left to right putts a lot. Awesome video.

Get that boy Francis on a breaking series!

The white ankle socks with the cream shoes is a tough look

Love this series! But EAL should really leave the driver in the bag. Hits 3 iron or 5W really well and could just hit a mid iron and wedge in on every oar 4 and maybe 2 mid irons on a par 5. And try to get pars on the shorter holes.

Next Breaking Series Francis needs to be playing. We need to see him out on the course.

The Buchemi FootJoy’s are just so so good

2 and a half minutes in and the guy doesnt edit out a three off the tee start... im in, good stuff Erik

The ol single digit handcapper shoots +14 from the tips when the course isn't even close to US Open standards. Why did I just watch this?

Francis was truly the star of Part 1 !

Francis has forgotten more about golf than most of us will ever know!

Francis doesn't say a word. Tosses another ball to EAL on the box. Solid move.

You’ve become my favorite golf channel as you are very informative and production is nothing less than epic!

That was the best caddying I have ever seen. Great job

Great job EAL. Doubt it’s the start you wanted, but you’ll turn it around on the back for sure. Obviously you already know if you did or not. lol. Gotta be hard playing with all that metal clanging, and impact drivers being used in the background. Would throw me off for sure.

That pin location on 6 is just crazy. It's an angle to the hole that you would never see on a PGA Tour broadcast. Thanks for showing us how hard this fricken game is.

Great banter, great caddie. Vicariously golfing thru u dude. Good video.

You friggin beauty ! Another wonderful video and in my opinion, the best break 90 series on the you tubes. Please keep them coming.

Big fan of Francis…. Authentic and a real psychologist. Golf is hard and it’s great having someone that can level-set you when you want to lose it.

Aw man. This is the first one of these I've watched where I have no 'part 2' to immediately watch. Sort of like waiting for next week's Obi Wan or The Boys. Great stuff here as always. Loved that chippy 4-I on 9 🙌

Love the tracer on the tractor

11:00 "I am Jose Mourinho" I see what you guys did there😆

I’m 1:30 in to the video and I already know I’m going to love it because Francis is back!!!! Get in there my son!!!!

12:50 "Well, I mean......we're closer." LMFAO

Just curious, why hit driver on that ultra short par 4 (303yd IIRC)? That would be such a good par/birdie opportunity with a mid-iron off the tee?

Respect Erik. Can’t wait to see the back 9.

Exactly why I live in Florida, it's May there and it looks like full on depression weather, break out the antidepressants and play some golf

Right off the bat, hospitality tent was playing as free relief for the tournament.

Francis repping a Shadowglen pull over, love to see it!

I worked at a club that was in Marlborough Mass and we got to play TCC alot ! It is one of my favorite places to ever play. Have fun Eric !

Havn't even watched it yet, but please, don't ever stop doing those. Magic!

01:10 "...oh, my" gotta love that "let's see if this guy even belongs on this course what with his 2 cameramen, playing from those tees". That is one thing that every golfer can relate to.

Amazing music selections for this video. The classic gives great homage to this classic course and such an old event. Well done RGC.

"I see a cut, I see a cut" *DOUBLE CROSS*

I'm not sure EAL breaks 90 at a local muni. This guy is well into the double digits with his handicap.

Welcome to the calf show!!! 🦵

Another Gem ... EAL if you ever come to the Tahoe area we are golfing!

I felt every ounce of that 'par cam' appearance.

Curious what month this was filmed. It looks like late spring when you see the conditions and the trees.

First thing to say is…awesome music for this one…as usual

Been waiting for this one! 🙌

that yellow tracer is a little hard to see, but this series is so good. Love it

Lol. I'm used to hearing rick say this is break 75. When he said 90. What. No this is exactly who I should be watching.

I keep going back to your video as I watch the open now. I do notice a huge difference in the Spring rough vs this crazy stuff the pros are hitting from in June.

Eric, that glove makes your hand look like Chubbs' hand on Happy Gilmore 🐊

Wow, he loves himself. 😂

I know it's hard to get onto these courses for this kind of shoot but have you considered trying to arrange a practice round before the actual filming. Obviously, the pros get some time to get to know the intricacies of each hole before the competition and I think Erik would benefit from the same instead of going in blind and learning the course as he goes. I wanna see him break 90 out there because it seems possible if he had a better game plan to attack these tough setups.

Fantastic as always, RGC Crew!

Great vid as always. Channeling Chubbs Peterson with that colour glove

Can we just appreciate the tracer on the forklift 😂

"Beat a bush around that" . Huh ? 😂😂

looks like we need to spend some time at the range! good video.

These have always been awesome to watch Eric! Don't hang em up. I know its pry frustrating for you but us average hacks who won't get to experience this it is cool

EAL in shorts? A&F giving the people some stellar views -- all calves are welcome (and toned)! Very stoked to see how things turn out!!

The pros would obliterate that course in its setup on this video. Rough is manageable. Greens are slow. I’d say at least 1/2 of the field would finish par or better. It’ll be interesting to see the setup for the Open.

That 3iron off the tee was pured

Can't believe that ball on 8 at 23:19. Thought it was a well-weighted pitch!

First break 90 I've watched for a while. Seems like your game has only gotten worse the more you play 😂 Keep grinding mate!

Missed a golden opportunity to turn on “Bogie Cam” on hole 3

Love this! Just walked the course today for practice round. And I’m playing the country club in September. Won’t be the open course but def gunna try to get some hints from EALs play!
