Alexandra and Erik Play A Match │ Scotland Diaries Episode 2

Спорт

Match Play on one of the Newest Courses in Scotland: Follow Alex and Erik on their next stop in the Scottish journey to Machrihanish Dunes. This course was conceived in 2009 but has an old Scottish soul that mirrors the land it was born from. The architect, David McLay Kidd, fulfilled a lifelong dream with this addition to the Scottish coast. Match Play is the game for this round, and Erik has his yardage book and is ready to roll. Tune in for the “Haggis Challenge”, blind approach shots, and breathtaking Scottish countryside.
Whether playing with friends or for serious money, we’ve got you covered with 10 games to try the next time you're on the course. Read more on Random Golf Club: randomgolfclub.com/2020/07/10...

    This episode was a lot of fun to watch. You seem to have a really great sense of just the right amount to show to set up the story without it getting too long winded. Makes for great pacing. It's wild to see a golf course like this with virtually no trees but as the teaser for next episode hinted, beware when the wind blows.

Fact two: Mach dunes was built on a National Conservation site, this meaning that when the course was built, there was no use of any heavy equipment to shape the land and layout of the course.
