Potentially the best adventures in golf episode. More than a few “my allergies are crying” moments
Same man same
I'm in my sealed, air conditioned apartment experiencing those same allergies. So incredible.
The feeling is mutual! We have a lot of mean trees here in Texas!
Yeah those damn allergies will get you. Weird how they come along when watching something like this right?
Portland one was the best, tennis ball golf, random people bound by sports, it’s almost free to play, most relatable, it’s like tapeball cricket
Erik is the Anthony Bourdain of golf, experiencing the sport and it’s characters on behalf of all of us. This episode was so incredibly touching.
Here here!!
eh, its too bad he has been called out for being an asshole in real life, but this video makes me think otherwise. internet trolls or something
This is extremely accurate
Phenomenal analogy👍⛳️
Between Bourdain and "you should do Netflix documentaries," every single episode I've seen so far says these two comments
that "thank you" at 16:15 hit me hard, it's so significant and you can feel how much it's taken from him to get to this point
Same here. Really touching!!
This is one of the greatest films I've ever seen. Inspiring is an understatement.
Erik this is by far the best Adventures in Golf episode to date. It really embodies not just what golf is all about, but what being human is about. Thank you.
PULITZER NEEDS TO CONSIDER THIS SERIES. The fact there isn't a digital or documentary journalism category is sad Beautiful journalism beautiful stories, thank you Erik and Skratch team for putting together such a beautiful masterpiece of documentary journalism. The presentation and cinematography is beautiful. The content is dynamite. Thank you.
Why are you worried about awards? Is that why this guy makes videos?

@@VolleyballHighlights2024 it's even more strange that YOU are concerned with him getting a piece of paper and a pat on the back. Not every good thing needs to be in the sunlight.
@@samhowl1152 This is such a trash anarchist take.
@@VolleyballHighlights2024 no, if anything it's nihilist. Anarchy had to do with going against governments.
Made me emotional… You could see what it did to Erik as well.. The pain he felt and the joy all at the same time.. 🙏🏼
So happy this series is back. Soul food.
I picked up golf about 7 years ago, got diagnosed with RP (Doc's condition) a little more than a year ago. I have never needed to see a video more than this one right here. So unfathomably inspiring. Today, my vision, while not good, is still full, I can live a "normal" life. One day that will go away, and I've struggled dealing with that reality ever since my diagnosis, but seeing this and hearing Doc's story has put such warmth in my heart. I won't ever have to give up this game I love, I will adapt and it will be different but I will still be on the course hitting balls with people I care about.I just really can't describe how awesome this video was. Made me tear up hearing EAL try to describe what he was feeling with the mask on, such a powerful experience. Thank you Erik, truly.
As someone who is blind in one eye. This was fascinating. I am grateful for this game and seeing others who have the same type of story as me is amazing. Thanks Adventures in Golf!
I can only use one hand and I play disc golf and the video only pushes me to want to do better as well. Much love brother. You aren't alone.
I’ve always loved Eric but this gave me a new found respect and admiration for you man. Fucking thank you for being such an incredible person truly. You make the world of golf a better place as well.
this episode was awesome. You could really see the emotion EAL was having in his mind. He really put it all out there, put himself in someone else shoes, someone who loves the same game. Right in the feels
Life is all about perspective. Everything looks a little sweeter after watching this.
Roger that!
This piece gave me goosebumps. I have an Aunt that is partially blind. I am going to share this with her and see if she will play golf with me. Great piece Erik and crew.
No wayyyyy, I’ve met “blind doc” when I was a cart guy at Brentwood Country Club and actually walked him down to the pro shop so he could get to his lesson. Crazy to see him and BCC on this series
Good to see Adventures in Golf back
Inspiring and thank you for honoring all of us blind golfers. It's very difficult to play this game being legally blind like I am. I can't even imagine people who are totally blind that can do it. Im grateful for what sight I have, it's truly a gift and that's how I (and others) need to see it. It's so easy to be negative in life and focus on the darkness because it really is everywhere and always lurking readily to creep into your mind. You really do have to fight it and one thing I've learned is that it's an active fight. It never really goes away and happiness is truly a choice. It doesn't just fall into your lap. You gotta really want it!!
So despite all the ups and downs I have faced in life, and in Golf, I play on. I do it for myself and more importantly I do it for those less fortunate than me. I do it because it makes me happy amd isn't that what life is all about?
Oh and I almost forgot to mention here I have recently started a TH-cam channel and it's about well many different things but one of those thing is my journey to be the best Golfer I can possibly be while being blind.
My goal is a scratch level someday or possibly better.
A tall order I know being blind but hey we gotta try in life right?
Anyways its called "Through Blind Eyes" so if you wanna check it out amd give me a follow or whatever strikes your fancy I would absolutely appreciate it.
It's brand new so I only have 1 video up and I'm in the very tedious process of editing my second and I have about 5 or 6 others behind that. The next video scheduled to be uploaded is my adventures at TPC Sawgrass. I got my butt kicked but it was fun! 🤣
Aright guys take care and stay believing in yourselves and each other
Play on guys, play on... ⛳ 😊👍
Erik getting right back into it and giving us unique golf stories from different perspectives. Love it and can't wait for the new episodes to come!
“It all looks a little sweeter” - thank you guys for doing this episode, I’m not blind but man you saved me by showing me a different perspective.
My favorite episode by far. EAL took an incredible story and immersed himself in it with the utmost respect and openness. What a trio of men featured in this episode.
That took courage, man. A large part of my family (cousins, mom, wife, aunt) are visually impaired or legally blind. As a sighted person, I unintentionally take for granted things that my family members have never had. I’ve never once considered the game of golf to be one of those things. And I’ll forever look at golf differently. Figuratively, and literally. I’m touched, man. Seriously. I mean that. Thank you.
Haven’t teared up like that in a while. Thanks EAL for a moving piece.
Me too. 😢
This not a story about a blind man but the bond of a father and a son through the beautiful game of golf. This is what life is all about. As are the other stories in this. People help each other. We are all in this together.
Jeremy and Chad have better swings than me. Great stuff 👍👍
Gives us so much perspective into the world of blind golfers. Thank you for this episode.
Came for the golf and after 15 mins in I didn't care about the golf. Inspiring stuff and I'm glad EAL made this vid
I don’t think I’ve cried in a year until now dude. This was such an incredible film
Every Septermber I hope the Adventure continues. Excited to see it back for a 6th season, and hope many more down the road. Great story right from the start!
This video is one of many reasons to love golf. It can be a very inclusive game and accessible to almost anyone, including the blind.
26 minutes long! We're back and longer than ever. Awesome!
Very appreciative of this episodes voice and it really hit it home for me. It reminded me of golfing with my Grandfather as he went through severe macular degeneration from ages 63 to 91. We still golfed almost every weekend as his condition got noticeably worse year after year, but never stopped him. He made it work as he did with everything. Man never used a cart, absolutely loved golf, walking the course and always carried his own clubs. He'd always say "appreciate your shot and make them count". I carry those very words outside the game as it stuck. We kept golfing until his passing and I will miss that man, his character, his words, far beyond forever.
I pretty much cried through the whole thing. A good cry. Thank you Erik.
It's truly unbelievable the people that you meet. Without you, we would never know these people exist. People, despite, their abilities, love and want to play the game. These stories TRULY are the best things I've ever seen for the sport. just unreal. period.
I have been watching this show for all 6 seasons, Erik, you and the crew have really made something special for the rest of us to enjoy. I hope this show goes on for as many seasons as you all can film for. I forget about this show for a few months at a time, and then become captivated by an episode in my recommended and watch all the ones I have missed. Thank you for this real content in a world full of fake and misguided creators.
Erik's contents on here or on RGC are heads and shoulders above anyone else. Thank you so much for bringing us all these amazing videos and introducing us to all these amazing people Erik!
Very emotional video made me appreciate life in a different way one of the best episodes i have seen
So inspiring to meet Chad and Erik while they were in TN for this! What an awesome story!
I think I'd become obsessed with hearing people's voices and touching people if I was blind, just as a source of comfort.
Wow, what a film. "Adventures in Golf" is one of the most impactful pieces of golf journalism out there. Cannnot be touched by professional coverage or generic youtube content. Imitated but never replicated, this series is the one of the very few things that approaches a true insight toward what golf means to those who pursue it.
This is quite possibly the best journalism I have ever experienced. Extremely inspiring to hear these gentleman’s stories, as well as Erik’s experience playing without sight. Greatest game on Earth. Well done and thank you, Erik!
My mother worked with the blind for 28 + years. I appreciate this story and can’t wait for her to watch. Thank you another great tail.
Absolutely the best episode to date.
Yo.... I just gained respect for you in a fresh way. You are the best golf journalist in the world bro. You truly immersed yourself in all versions of the game and embrace the game we all enjoy. Thank you, sir. I almost cried watching this episode.
I have no words. Literally.
(after a 10 min reflection) The compassion in this episode is just so inspiring. The fact that Doc says, at 23:14 "He is understanding, he is honoring" is just wonderful.
If all of us could just set aside our own lives and walk around and get as deeply in someone else's skin as you did, what a better world this would be. Thank you, Erik, thank you.
Wow what an episode. Really respectful and great insight and helps me appreciate not only blind golfers but blind people in general
Some people want to change the world, this man is BEING the change in the world. Thank you for opening my eyes to the power of golf and how it can bring so many characters from different avenues in life together❤❤.
Thanks!
What a pleasant surprise to see this series pop up on my feed again
This has to be the most meaningful "Adventures in Golf" episode ever. And I've seen them all. Thanks EAL.
Oh I love that subtle touch when you put on the mask the screen goes black and all the sounds of course come through really loud and clear. What an awesome way for us to feel the sensation of the other senses compensating for the lack of another.
Wow. This was an insanely emotional episode. I have my sight but when Erik talked about the first ten seconds in a blindfold it was heavy. Good work guys.
My Admiration go to the 2 coaches, the lady and gentleman who were so kindly and even compassionately assisting the 2 blinded golfers finding their path and their foothold in this world.
Thank YOU very much for your dedication.
when you hit a golf ball it just fills your heart
- john daly
You're definitely one of the most understanding and passionate people in the world of golf. It's about time we got a long episode of AIG. Best one yet man, I cant wait for the next one
Pat told Doc to play golf so he will be out of hair for hours. LOL
This was my favorite episode so far.
Best golf content I’ve seen in a while. Love this episode
What a reminder of the basics gifts in life that we all at times take for granted. Appreciate how you highlighted the amazing people who often accomplish so much under the most difficult circumstances. Thanks
Goosebumps. It's about so much more than just golf. It's about what makes us human. Thank you for this.
This is as inspirational as it gets. Unbelievable stories and huge respect for the way they were captured.
I've hit a ball or two into the net blindfolded and thought I did pretty well, but I can't even imagine trying to play blind. Thanks for sharing this.
“It’s the one time you can actually SEE what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes.”
-Erik Anders Lang
About playing golf blindfolded.
Jokes aside…. Awesome piece! They really are inspirational! I have ZERO to complain about when I hit the course next time!
Became quite emotional in the last couple of minutes. Fantastic film. One of the best AIG episodes ever
Just when I think AIG already explored everything that they could, they never cease to wow me with a new experience/adventure
I think we sighted people have a lot to be grateful for and we don't appreciate the world enough.
There are some amazing people on this planet that get on with life no matter what it deals them.
A story told brilliantly.
“It’s one time you can SEE what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes”. Good one Eric lol
Thanks Adventures in Golf. This was incredible.
This is so powerful. I'm not sure what to say, other than this is truly inspirational, and amazing. Thank you for this video.
Apparently you did cause you said the same thing 3 different ways.
Easily one of the best episodes yet. Unbelievable perspective and thought provoking content. I am blown away right now. I love this game.
I will say that these videos ARE the best golf videos that you can find anywhere. Truly works of art. Please keep more coming!
More people need to watch this!!! Don’t take anything for granted my friends
What an inspiration! My grandfather passed away a few year ago now, my best memories were playing golf with him…. Also he was blind as well and I watched him make a 2 on a par 5! Nothing is impossible! Keep up the amazing and inspirational content!
This episode brought tears to my eye. It taught me not to take the abilities that I have for granted. Thanks for this Skratch, Adventures in Golf and the hole team for this one!
Possibly the best golf video ever on TH-cam!
Bro Erik.......I love golf so much, and I train Jiu Jitsu. I don't usually tear up watching things like this and you touched my heart and made me cry hard with this video. You did blind golf and everyone in the world that is blind a wonderful service. You are such a wonderful guy man. Thank you for all that you do. I hope one day we meet. Much love.
Amazing episode... Erik is legit the Anthony Bourdain of Golf!
Erik. Thank you! and Doc and Jeremy for sharing with us!
Tuned in expecting a ten minute episode. Pleasantly surprised that the next half hour of my life is booked. Also loved the intro my guy
This is such an inclusive podcast…. I absolutely love it. I’ve never deeply thought about blindness in this way before. Enlightening!!!!! So refreshing to hear Doc speak, he is so comfortable in his own skin…. No fear or feeling of self pity! 👏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾
We did this a few times when we were younger, also we used to play the last 3 holes in the dark. Strange sensation and it really does slow your swing down and make it a lot smoother over time. Hats off to these Blind Golf members.
I’m never really at a loss for words when it comes to golf but, this left me speechless and a little emotional. You have my respect and a new follower
This is one of the best content i have seen on youtube. It uplifts the human spirit. No matter what your handicap maybe in life there is hope. And it is even better that the greatest game men has ever invented was used as a medium. Thank you.
never seen a video like that, from a golfer one of the best video ever seen, sometimes u feel unlucky for stupid things and forgetting just see something is a lucky that a lot people don't have.
Erik, just when I think you, and your crew, can't top the last episode, you then blow my mind with the next one. Thank you for making golf more and more a metaphor about life. Congrats on season six! I can't wait for the adventure to continue.
This at the end was very emotional. My best friend is blind and used to play golf before he lost his sight. I'd like for him to try playing.
Has to be one of the most emotional journeys of golf I’ve ever seen! I could literally hear in your voice the sense of remorse and true feeling of the near helplessness the blind have on the daily let alone a golf shot! Really emotional episode for sure
Amazing! What a lesson for not only golf, but life. Remarkable and entertaining. Bravo RGC
Great storytelling wrapped with some golf and inspiring people.
Utterly amazing content. Asking for help and going to the bathroom blindfolded was a deep show of respect for the experience.
Never tried playing golf blindfolded, but I have had a patch on my eyes for half a day before as a training. And I remembered how fantastic it felt (knowing that I can take it off at any moment) not to see. The heightened senses were a marvel to behold and I felt peaceful and serene. So I'm surprised you experienced it as such a 'dark' experience.
Thank god AIG is back, Erik and the RGC team are awesome fun to watch.
This is my absolute favourite episode. Truly humbling and truly gave perspective. Bravo
Wow. Absolutely phenomenal episode. The growth from season 1 to now is something you and your team should be proud of!!! Thank you Erik
Very touching and refreshing episode. Thank you for reminding folks like me just how truly blessed we are to have something as simple as our vision, etc. I hope I “see” things a little better tomorrow morning. You’re a good dude, EAL.
Awesome show thank you to all who brought this to us.
What a great episode, thank you very much. I am a Golfer with disabilty myself and have met blind golfers in the past. This episode was very life-enhancing and gave me goosebumps!
I am an ophthalmologist. This is incredible. Jeremy has the swing we all dream of. Unreal story
Hands down the best episode ever. Thanks for sharing that episode with everyone. Gives me a whole new view of golf.
6:30 his dad was so happy he tryed to high five his blind son :D
This was remarkable. Thank you
Fantastic Eric… You helped me gain perspective on all the things we take for granted and that was captured in this video. Your empathy and passion shine through in all that you do but this was top-notch. Mindfulness, being thankful and enjoying the process no matter which process that is is was demonstrated here. Thank you.
