GolfSpy_APH Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I would argue one of my favorite episodes in the entire series so far. So happy to have this back and able to watch. For travel and golf lovers this at least in my opinion is must watch golfing content. cazac, cksurfdude, EasyPutter and 3 others 3 3 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

sixcat Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 The NLU boys are getting ridiculously good at this. Absolutely top notch. Lots of Wes Anderson vibes this season apparently. cksurfdude, Waximus Prime and GolfSpy_APH 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixcat Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I took a lot away from the first episode and can't wait for the next. The Wes Anderson influence is obvious and likely something DJ is doing intentionally. I found myself pricing flights to Stockholm. I was screaming "Antonio Alfonseca" at the TV much to my wifes amusement. Olle Widegren must have experienced some kind of culture shock going from Stockholm to Conway, SC!!! cksurfdude and vandyland 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandyland Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Notes dump: -Haven't watched the guys in a few months and always surprising how they always say how they don't play very much. Like, I get why DJ is busy editing all this stuff but why can't Randy or Tron get out there very much? - Tron's over the top move is pretty jarring, always amazing how he plays relatively well with that move - Tron shaving his head is the only decision to be made with his hair situation - Neil and Soly are the only ones with semi-normal looking swings - Wish I had a group of dudes to go fantastic places like this As always, well shot and relaxing to watch. I dig their content despite my quibbles above. cksurfdude 1 Quote STZ 230 9.5* PinHawk SLF 16* STZ 230 Hybrid 21.25* MALTBY TS1-IM 5-GW Equalizer II 54* Glide 4.0 (S) 58* L.A.B.

GolfSpy_APH Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Episode 2 is up! Just as I posted this I am realizing I don't actually recall the scores or who is leading after the first round of Qualifying. This season is certainly more travel centric which I like. As someone who has done a few trips with just me and my golf clubs I appreciate this take on it. The course itself that they play would truly be so much fun and so difficult. I could only imagine how many golf balls I would go through. I won't spoil anything, however I could watch one particular shot of Randys over and over in awe. Absolutely incredible and never could be accomplished again. cksurfdude and EasyPutter 2 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

vandyland Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Put me in the camp of hard pass on Bro Hoff Slott. Fun to watch others play it and/or watch professionals play it but as for the casual golfer (i.e. me) that looks extremely penal and unfun. Even their guide who played on the Euro Tour was saying he would not want to play his membership golf there. I mean, just look at this hole, it looks like an absolute nightmare.... The first landing zone between the water and the bunkers is 37 yds wide. Then you have to hit a decent layup and an approach to a peninsula green. All while likely have a wind blowing a decent amount. Yeah no thanks.

GolfSpy_APH Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Really hit a great balance this year with golf and culture which has been fun to see. CPH is a great city and do much fun to walk and explore. Im glad they went into that a bit. The course looked on point and stupid firm! Another great episode in easily one of their best seasons to date. EasyPutter, RollingGreens and cksurfdude 3 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

RollingGreens Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I really like how well they’ve highlighted tourism and golf in this series. They way they have discussed the state of golf in Sweden and Denmark is really interesting. The courses they are playing seem very accessible and would all provide for fantastic trips for destination golf to these areas GolfSpy_APH and cksurfdude 2 Quote Stealth 2 Plus 9deg Kai' li Red Stealth 2 13deg Aldilla Rogue Silver Stealth 2 15deg Aldilla Rogue Silver JPX 921 Hot Metal 4-PW Nippon Modus 120s SM8 54 and 58deg Dynamic Gold Wedge Flex Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Titleist ProV1 Hoofer Stand Bag Stewart Q Follow Electric Caddie 300 PRO Rangefinder Official Nippon Regio B+ Driver Shaft Review Official Stewart Q Follow Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 So, I live a few hours from Falsterbo - haven't played it, but plan to this year. I'm actually across the fjord in Norway. Open invitation to play with me if any of you find yourself near to Sandefjord or Oslo. Anyway, I really would like to get to Visby but dayum that ferry boat ride to the island is expensive now! I've played one of two links courses in Sweden over at Öland - it was quite a fantastic experience. Every year I also play some courses up near to Umeå where we visit family. One is particularly great to play and I look forward to it. Probably the best part about golf in Scandinavia is that Malaga and Marbella are a very inexpensive flight away. I just got back from there and I also drove over to Algarve in Portugal and to an awesome links course by RTJ Jr. called Troia. It was spectacular! It's also cheap to fly to Scotland - I went in May and am going back in April as well. With some points I had, it's $26 to fly there with luggage. On Ryan Air I can fly over for around $100 with my golf bag. So it's nice home base to golf in other places. Anyhoo, I want to watch Falsterbo and Visby now.. TTYL!

Clayton Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Well, now I've binge watched like 20 videos from these guys. I can't say that I enjoy the guys or their story, but they have gone to a lot of courses I am hoping to go to. In fact, they have videos on the two in Sweden plus the first 72 holes I'll be playing in April when I go back to the east coast of Scotland. I can tell from their teaser stuff they will be going to Lofoten Links in Norway. I'm a bit disappointed that's the only one in Norway that they will probably go to. I didn't see anything to indicate they will play in Denmark either but maybe? Wish they would go to this course in Iceland. I was supposed to play there but they forgot to load my equipment on my stay over trip through Iceland (I fly through there on the way to the US) so I didn't get to play there. https://www.english.golfmos.is/hlidavollur-photos cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about not getting the proper paperwork back from the Danish government to film, fly a drone, etc. Apparently, these trips require a year of legwork to get the proper licensing and permitting in place in order to film. Especially in foreign countries. They also discussed a possible trip to Iceland but not centered around Tourist Sauce. Hinting at another series they have in he works. From the group discussion on the pod, Soly has already gone to Iceland and staked out the beginnings of a planned trip for the group.

Clayton Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Makes sense on the drones. Especially now with the war. They just jailed a guy in Norway (Russian) because they have so many people flying near to sensitive places like power stations and pipelines. Would def like to see Iceland even though I should have already played the courses I'm interested in. I live a 3 and 4 year old now soon to be 4 and 5 so doubt I'll ever get another chance to play in Iceland, sadly. cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayton Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Their new one in Korea was REALLY good. Again, they talk about how good the amenities are. For me all those breaks, tea and egg stops, giant locker rooms, and 6 hour rounds are extremely irritating. I also don't really enjoy having a caddy much at all. I don't think I could golf in Korea. However, the course is quite beautiful. Edited January 2, 2023 by Clayton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said was a good last few episodes and enjoyed them overall. Was a fun season and admit the following of golf was a little harder than normal, but due to the travel aspects I enjoyed this season a lot more.

Redhawk Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I choose those two courses when I was there as they both were in the top 5 in all of Sweden. They treated me so nice at both courses!!

Oh well, it wasn't practical I suppose. i still continue with Swedish Traditions and food during the holidays and buy my kids something Swedish every year!!

It’s very little about golf but a very snarky and sarcastic humor to the show. Randy provides a less intense golf perspective an at times takes the contrarian view just to provide it, so it seems to me. IMO he likes golf, but not the pretentiousness it brings at times and is just a more relaxed less serious individual. I didn’t care for his takes at first but he has become my favorite take on things at times. They all seem to have a roll and play into it. I would also encourage people to take in the Cookie Jar Podcast. It’s a couple guys out of the U.K startling to follow the same mold. Good podcast and are starting videos now also.
