NLU Podcast, Episode 823: Tourist Sauce Season 9 - Australia Preview

The ninth installment of Tourist Sauce premieres Wednesday night on our YouTube channel as we return to Australia where the first season of our travel series was filmed. Our itinerary for our return down under:

In a completely new spin on a familiar adventure, the guys take on unconquered territory in a visually upgraded experience in Australia.

No Laying Up’s original travel series explores the history and beauty of golf around the world. A visually-driven exploration shows the crew playing and diving into the stories of some of the most unique golf courses in the golf world — with fascinating characters to match. From Oregon, Ireland, Scotland — the guys' next adventure could be anywhere. But no matter the setting, you can expect the same humor and fun-loving wit from the No Laying Up crew.

Australia

The gang returns to Australia to explore a few cities and courses that didn't make the list in Season 1. Our first stop is Sydney, where we check in on brawny New South Wales GC and the charming Bondi Golf and Diggers short course.

Tourist Sauce (Return to Australia): Episode 1, "New South Wales"

 premieres Wednesday at 9pm ET, and because our imagery and footage organization has reached a new level this season, I wanted to pull some of my favorite photos of the trip. These photos were taken by this season's talented production crew: 

First up, this shot from the 13th fairway at New South Wales. It was as if the ship's captain knew the TrapDraw podcast was on-site and helped frame the shot! The confluence of golf and global logistics was heady stuff. I also loved this golf hole. Look for a detailed profile in our Tourist Sauce Recap podcast and episode 1!

I'm going to cheat and use a carousel for 3 related pictures. Our afternoon at Peninsula Kingswood was sublime, and 18 was my favorite finishing hole of the trip. Like most of our afternoon rounds, we had the course to ourselves (Aussies don't seem to play golf in the afternoon!). Tron and I snapped a picture for the personal collection, and the last picture was the scene at sunset having dinner on the patio next to 18. The team is talking Masters prep with Asia Pacific Amateur winner Jasper Stubbs. What a day. 

Turn and Burn - Cody during a bonus round at Portsea G.C.

I will never understand how the man with cement in his back has the best turn and tempo on team NLU! This was an unforgettable driver off the deck during a bonus round at Portsea Golf Club. 

Page Break

An all time look from T.C. - Cape Wickham #10

In a career of avant-garde fashion, this is one of my favorite looks from Tron Carter. The buff, the shades, the Hitter Blanco point. In the words of Ashley Perez, this look is "iconic." 

Not much needs to be said about Royal Adelaide. I think it will speak for itself in episode 2!

I'm thrilled to say the B-roll Boy is back in a big way this season. We brought some new toys to Oz this trip, and the new and improved DJI pocket camera was a workhorse. Shout out to Cody for adding this camera to our gear list!

A look down the first fairway - #1 Cape Wickahm GC

Cape Wickham was a polarizing course for the team, but I think it had the best opening hole on the trip, a handshake par 4 on the edge of the earth. There's also something very peaceful about watching sprinklers on a golf course. I love this picture.

TC from the back bunker -#18  Royal Melbourne West 

D.J. sent this picture through to the team early in the editing process. We had another all-time afternoon and golden hour at Royal Melbourne West. What a shot from Cody behind the lens!

Just a warning, there were some truly egregious sock and shoe combos from my associates throughout Season 9. You've been warned...

King Island

I don't want to spoil anything, but this is a screenshot from what D.J. declared "The best drone sequence in the history of No Laying Up." Our stay on King Island is something I'll remember for the rest of my life. I hope to get back to the island before I die. 

Cape Wickham Lighthouse

I'd like to add something to our running list of
