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...

These episodes EASILY deserve a spot on Golf Channel. They're so professionally shot and directed all while being genuine and authentic. Keep up the phenomenal work Erik. Each video y'all put out makes me want to drop everything and play a round.

@@DonLounsbury That's interesting because I live in Dundee which is exactly inbetween both courses, my course (Downfield) was a final qualifier for the Open at Carnoustie.
I can't believe I'm Scottish and I've never been here, just checked Google and it's a 4 hour drive for me - guess I'll have to book a trip next week!

I told someone in Ireland I was Irish. He told me the USA is the only place in the world that doesn't understand the difference between ancestry and nationality. He said, "No you're an American of Irish ancestry, not Irish."

If you’re there you need to play the Macrihanish golf club, absolutely incredible, first tee shot is hitting straight over the bay and it’s amazing from then on. Plus their clubhouse burned down last year and they need all the support they can get👍
When you guys get engaged, you should throw a RBP Random Bachelor Party, thank me later.
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.

Love that you're doing another Scotland series, I'm going over next year and these videos get me so excited.
The two Scottish policemen just sitting and having coffee at the golf course were awesome
Yeah, real “unfortunate” you “missed” that putt to win so that she wouldn’t have to eat that nasty dish 😂 I see you Erik
I really enjoy watching your videos. You made me find a new love for the game
Those drone shots are absolute fire! The deer at the start! 100% Production value!

I was wondering how silent the drone must have been for the deer not to bother...
This series might be one of your best yet! Really loving it
There are so many things about these videos that are wonderful. Don't want to talk about them... just want to watch. Thanks Alexandra and Erik.
Absolutely loving the Scotland diaries, these courses look amazing. Definitely some of the best golf content on youtube. Keep it going.
Oh man, played the Dunes course when it opened. Great memories.
10 years? Looks like it's been there forever, in a really good way.
So glad your playing the old course, I took my parents over a few years back as my Mum was a war (WW2) evacuee there. Played both courses and the old / the real course is just spectacular. What a trip (we’re now in the North East of Scotland), it’s a brute to get to but so worth it.
This video is awesome! I got goosebumps as I once stayed in a B&B visible in the drone shot at 1:40. I played Machrihanish Golf Club when I was there, which is another awesome track. In your opening tee shot, you hit over a little inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks, Erik, for bringing back some awesome memories. Your videos really bring out the best in golf and the golf community.
I have played Machrihanish old, unreal course can't wait for the next video. It has the best opeining hole in golf!
Absolutely need to visit Scotland and these courses. The people seem amazing and the courses seem stunning. Thank you Erik and Alex for providing this content to view these courses before going and experiencing them.

Such a great vid again! Thanks man!
I can't wait to see the episode from the Machrihanish Golf Club! That one is a bucket list item for me!
Eric, all your episodes are amazing with a great balance of showing the course scenes, nice music and interesting comments. I really enjoy watching the episodes and can just envoy on your job :)
Haggis will be my new word for when I duff a shot.
So good as usual. That blind green was amazing looking! Alex's putt that rolled all the way back less so. HA HA! Great stuff. Scotland has been on my bucket list, but every episode bumps it up a few notches.
I could listen to you narrate and watch Alexandra play golf all day.
I feel totally transported to a far off land watching the Scotland Diaries. Keep up the good work on these videos!
this is one of my favourite golf courses and golf experiences we where there on a Saturday night middle of summer 4 good friends a 6 hour hour round just taking everything in, another of the must play if you come to Scotland
I’ve done exactly the same tour 7 years ago. Rented a Morgan and drived around some hidden gems as Machrihanish, Siskine and Prestwick. Greatest golf of my life.
These films are just terrific. Shiskine, Mach Dunes & Machrihanish GC all feature in my book, The Golf lover's Guide To Scotland (as does Dunaverty GC, which is just 20 minutes down the road from Campbeltown). It's great to see them all captured so wonderfully. Looking forward to next week's instalment and the rest. Keep doing what you're doing!!
Love the 2 episodes with Alexandra, need more of them Eric
Looks amazing! Keep grinding bro and don't let her get in your head during comps! ... that's the real challenge to manage 😎👍😁
Another great video. Many thanks
Enjoyed this one, as always great content - well produced,
Reminds me of playing in Iceland. My favorite place I have ever played golf at.

Alex is 1000% head over heels for you. No ifs ands or buts.
I like the Machrihanish golf club's logo with the bird. So cool! Also, amazing how long these courses have been around. Cool to think about people playing a century ago.
Wonderful golf course! The last time I asked for Haggis the way you pronounced it in a supermarket in Angus, I was shown the egg shelf ;) It goes along with "hug" - say "Huggis"! And it's delicious - loved to have it for breakfast, instead of Black Pudding :o)
Loving the videos, incredible to see parts of Scotland I’ve never been to. Can I just say though having lived here 3 years I have NEVER seen it this sunny 😂 let alone twice, as it was in your last vlog too. If you can visit all the time and bring that LA sun I would be most welcome. Love Sam sat in 14c Edinburgh in July...
Nice to meet Alexandra and Erik when you were at the dunes. Hope you come back and visit again soon
Amazing Eric great video
i wish i had erik's game- with the girls
Wow what a cool course. It's crazy that it's barely 11 years old since it has that classic Scottish look of much older courses.
Can’t believe I’ve just found your Scotland videos I stay in Glasgow
Man I never though I would pay that much for a golf glove, but Asher limited one was worth it after trying it on, plus it looks cool. These course have been amazing to see you play.
I like beautiful things in life .. I'm Irish I've never once played a Scottish course but my god u don't half sell them in your videos. Your camera work is next level and your content is so entertaining and natural well done yank 🤭
Yet another top echelon post Erik. As if I wasn’t enough in love with the game of golf, (admittedly a little hate too,) each of your vlogs makes me love it more. The quality is bar none. Add Alexandra and there is no match! Keep posting and I’ll keep watching.
Black tees matter EAL, great vlog buddy. Love the competitiveness in the air. The course is beautiful.
you two are rad.
The production is sick
Touring Scottish golf courses with a tall drink of water with a pretty err, golf swing. I can only hope this is what heaven is like.
Was in Scotland last year... Haggis is delicious!!!
You GOTTA get the Haggis!
Great content Eric. I played Machrihanish as a lad - played 36 holes then nearly crashed the car on the way home as we were so tired. (fun fact - the backup landing strip for the space shuttle was adjecent to the golf course iirc)
Great content
"I think I'm going to take an easy 3 iron..." I love the confidence, the way golf should be played. You are my spirit golfer.
Honestly working for erik would probably one of the best jobs ever
I was supposed to be traveling there from England to play both courses this week, after first being out east to play the old course, oh well next year
I appreciate the music EAL uses in his videos. Fifty years ago there was a group called "The LA Jazz Cats." Their sound was similar to the background music in these videos. Thank heaven a cut above the groaning, gasping and cooing robo music that is under many golf videos.
Haggis sounds scary, but it's delicious, well worth a try.
Would recommend dunavarty golf course down the road if you guys are still in the area, much shorter but a good course none the less 👍

Do them seperately in my opinion, you'd ruin a lot of the golf experience just by being hungover everyday after enjoying a malt too many.
How are finding so much sun in Scotland? The last two videos is a years worth of summer north of the border 😂
Having lived in the area for a bit, hearing it pronounced town instead of toon is freaking me out...
Haggis is actually pretty good.
Eat your haggis! I just love the old Mac course.

Would like to see you both play a 18 hole match!! Maybe two 9 hole videos!! At least no one had to eat the haggis or did you really eat haggis nachos lol?
Had my tee time booked for the Championship Course booked on May but oh well we know the rest of this story. Plus the day we were supposed to play was no wind and 26 degs. Bugger
She has the best laugh.

Machrihanish Dunes fact one: The Sheep logo you see on flagsticks are actually part of the greenkeeping team at the course. At certain times of year you can see them on your way round. 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.
Only time I ever had decent haggis was in Scotland... missing out if you don’t eat it.
Erik 🐐
