I wasn't impressed with the latest strapped. Too much golf, not enough Baltimore. The golf hadxz good story, with Icarito doing his thing, but there is normally a bit more local flavour.

Hopefully the next episode will be more on form.

Agreed. I know nothing of Baltimore, but it looked like a really interesting city. Hopefully, the subsequent episodes will shine a bit more life. The insights into parts of America that are somewhat under the radar is one of my favourite bits of strapped.

I'm sure there will def be more Baltimore in the other 2 episodes.

Was in Baltimore this year for 3 days. Really nice city. Great city centre and harbour area. Has a bad rep for being a bit of a crime hub in some areas, but imo well worth a visit but stick to a hotel or apartment between the stadiums and harbour area.

Yeah I think there will be more on that in the later episodes. Normally when they get to their accommodation you see a lot more where they talk to the locals etc.

Been re watching strapped the last few days. Really enjoyed the one with Max Homa, and the new one just as good.

Feel like the mega bonus might be in play this time round.

If they continue to play courses that are rated 5 shots easier than par then Neil should get the mega bonus at some point.

Bizarrely its in a city (Peoria, Illinois) in the USA that I have to visit twice a year for work too. Enjoyed the first video.
I'm ashamed to admit, I'd never heard of it.
Though, thanks to wiki, i am now a little wiser. I enjoy the non touristy parts of the US they go to - the Baltimore series was great in that respect.
To be fair, playing golf up the east coast of scotland has been similarly eye opening for me. Well planned golf trips are just a geography field trip in disguise.

Don't be ashamed! I would not have either unless our head offices weren't there. Its a city to them but more what I'd call a big town.

Working my way through the oregon series at the moment.
It looks great, but tbh my overriding thought is that i must get up to scotland as soon as the days get longer in the spring. Every time they say how great bandon is, i just think "yeah, but no better than x, y or z days I've spent on the links".
Still, 20 minutes well spent.
