Breaking Pinehurst

[need_my_wedge]

Don't know if anyone's watched this, I just finished the 4 episodes, don't know whether it was Erik's narration or the hill billy banjo's but I really enjoyed watching these. Thought it was worth a shout out.

Similar to Rick Shiels Breaking 75 episodes, but with a difference. Erik Anders Lang's Random Golf Films take 3 different amateur players and get them to play Pinehurst no2 from the tips in an effort to break a score. A scratch lady golfer attempting to break 80, and two gents (8hcp & 19hcp) attempting to break 90. They all play from the same tee as far back as the can go. There's 4 half hour episodes, was a really fun and interesting watch - 3 general joe's trying to play like the pro's. Pinehurst no2 is definitely on my bucket list, here's links to all 4 episodes.

I'll be checking these later. Looks great. I reckon I'd be happy with sub 110 somewhere like that off those tees. Hell, half the holes I'd be happy if my tee shot was playable!

I liked this series too. The three golfers were a charismatic group, and I enjoyed seeing their efforts. It is shot beautifully,and the narration was good.

the greens at Pinehurst just look stupid. Literally putting off the green from 8ft.

There is also “Breaking” Erin hills and TPC Sawgrass also in the same format. These are a must watch. Joe Hooks in the sawgrass episode is an absolute baller!!!

He is, but he’s a professional, thought the objective was to get amateur players to play from the pro tees, not pros ?‍

He did another one on playing RSG, which was good too. Prefer this format to his own attempts at the same (playing the course setup for pros) in which he comes across as mostly sulking…
