As someone who loves both surfing and golf, I teared up a bit at that moment you caught that wave and felt the joy. Both activities can provide moments of transcendence.
The algorythm made me fall into this: one of the most emotional and beautiful documentaries I’ve ever watched. I want to go to Puerto driving range and play barefoot with shorts. Immediately subscribed.
Occasionally TH-cam will recommend a gem. Just stumbled across your channel this weekend. Erik this Adventures in Golf series is phenomenal. Every other golf channel out there is the "how" of golf. You explore the "why". Keep it up. Loving it.
Just watched the intro but can we get some love for the crew? From the filming to the editing these videos are so enjoyable to watch, thanks for everything guys 🇨🇦
Thank you Erik and team, the content is amazing and gets better all the time. Rick Shiels called you the coolest guy in golf, and I just have to completely agree with that! not to mention the coolest team for producing this awesome content and showing us just how far and wide, big and small, the game goes.
Sent a series of Skratch videos, including this one, to my buddy who is just starting out - my message was "Watch these if you want to fall irrevocably in love with the game". EAL is so good in front of the lens, but so much of the magic is in the shots y'all capture behind it. Hats off to the whole crew. PS: The tee shot past the drone at 15:40... chef's kiss.
Your description of your first wave was perfect. And he wasn’t lying when he said you killed it. Solid performance from a first time surfer. There’s truly nothing like surfing.
A pure, heartwarming exploration of the maintenance of culture through the distinct medium of golf. Definitely one of your best episodes yet, Netflix contract coming soon.
@23:43 masterclass in setting up a discussion on a topic that is difficult for the other party to engage on, but that is a necessary truth. As always this episode transcends golf and dives into what makes us human. It’s art, and I can’t believe we get to experience it for free. Also that kid looks like he could play Pedro Pascal in a biopic!!
I just cant believe how good these are...It's so inspiring to see a game, we all love so much, talked about and represented in a way we all deeply understand. Thank you, Erik and Crew!
This really should be picked up on any streaming platform. This series is amazing and we’re spoiled we get to experience it free! Amazing work EAL and everyone involved!!
Please pitch this show to the golf channel. This is absolutely the life they need and this show is absolutely fantastic. This is Anthony Bourdain for golf.
This is another great reason for Adventures in Golf. To provoke thought and be amazed. Yet another great episode of my favourite golf series. Thanks EAL
I don't know if it's the calming tone of your voice or the amazing tales you share, but this channel is the closest thing I have come to church without a building. My friend whom I have never met, thank-you.
A common comment on past episodes has been, 'Adventures in Golf episodes need to be longer'. Now that we are getting 30 min episodes, I'll still say 'Adventures in Golf episodes need to be longer'. Phenomenal work.
Great episode. You bring a sense of humanity and gravitas (a la Anthony Bourdain) to these stories that really connect with your audience- whether they’re passionate about golf or not. Bravo sir.
Erik, your videos have literally become a thing of beauty. They truly show not just the fun aspect of golf but the passion that it brings. It does seem crazy that there are those of us that absolutely love chasing around a little white ball but it's something that brings an immense amount of peace to our lives as well. The fact that you have been doing these in Mexico must be a speechless experience. The culture, the landscape, and the emotion that is conveyed is an experience beyond imagining and I pray you make more of them. These connect our love for golf around the World in a captivating way. Thanks again for all the hard work and effort you undertake in sharing your experience and passion with all of us.
Incredible as always! I've been designing a farm layout and house for when I move to the country and it absolutely includes a driving range off of the back verandah. I loved the people who featured here and their attitude to golf and life. Muchas gracias.
Amazing story! As a mexican it is grateful to know this kind of stories and places hard to know, specially the golf range in Puerto Escondido. Also Erik I want to thank you and your team about the Tijuana Adventure in Golf episode.
I have been to this town on several cruises over the last 5 years . I had no Idea that there was a golf course. And every year it changes. Thank you !!! And keep doing this . I love golf . If and when I go back I will play that course. Beautiful !!!!
I love these adventures in golf series, they´re far more than just a golf course vlog, or a travel vlog; but something that captures peoples lives and stories. And that to me, is the very best thing about travel, and golf. The film of the course at Lofoten in Norway inspired me to go there last year. So, now I can add this hidden gem to my bucket list of places to go visit too :) Cheers for that Eric!
By “happen-stance” I came across your channel. I’ve only seen two episodes so far. This one, and the one about the 9 hole course in the redwoods. I have to say, you do a wonderful job presenting your material, and I’ve really enjoyed watching them. Thank you for sharing!
I don't comment on videos a lot but I'd like to say that this episode is really truly incredible. There's not many shows out there that really capture the essence of communities around the world, and how even though this video is about golf, it's much more about humanity, and the things that tie us all together. The central tie in this case is some metal clubs, a ball, and a beautiful back drop. Really is on par (pun intended) with the works of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown. Thanks for sharing.
So glad the episodes in this season are longer. I get to watch it on the big screen at home with a beer and really appreciate all of the hard work you and the team put in.
Another great edition, EAL! My wife and I have dreamt of visiting Oaxaca for the rich culture and food. This episode definitely has added more fuel to the fire and my urge to visit this magical place. I hope to visit both pueblas and immerse myself into the culture! Great job to you and your team.
Was just down there in May for a surf trip with friends. What a magical place! Golfing could have been a great way to relax from getting pounded on the beach.
Eric you need to call me. I live in a city in Mexico with a local 9 hole you play twice from different tee boxes. Bunch of guys got together 40 years ago and bought the land and slowly turned junk and jungle in the middle of the barrio to a fun challenging little course. I got my one and only hole in one here on 2005 .my first time playing here in 96 we were escorted around the course with a guy carrying a machine gun. I'm like WTF holy crap. Over the 12 foot red brick walls that define the property , was some neighborhoods that apparently were kind of sketchy , I don't know if the UZI was overkill or not . One time we were playing and racing down the fairway was a police truck lights blazing chasing half a dozen teenagers , one brandishing a knife , not something you see every day on a golf course. Of course there's huge iguanas everywhere < Ive seen a tarantula crawling across the course. Neighborhood dogs of course and some huge extremely fast rabbits are all over the place. Little by little the dense underbrush that lined the fairways was cleaned , it took years and years because all local funding , and massive property. Sand traps used to be gravel and sand and truly daunting , impossible to hit out of. Now they are all sand of varying density , challenging but playable . Actual poop rivers , open sewage ditches you had to hop over got fixed , sewer systems installed and now not an issue . its been really cool over 25 yrs of playing this course to see it turn into the great little cheap local course , challenging but fun. Out of 5 courses in the area , one being a Robert Trent Jones design right on the ocean , highly rated, sometimes our little Campestre course has the best greens. Don't play the caddies on mondays, ( they play mondays for free) cuz they will kick your ass with a handful of mismatched clubs and sandals. The best part is its only 500 pesos with a cart to play 18 and the food is great and cheap and lots of old gringos with great stories after in the shade of the clubhouse deck and the smell of burning Mexican herbs wafting through the air. my mexican call is +1 52 669-3277791 ask for Trent
Keep up the great work you and your team are doing Eric. Living the dream and letting us see some fantastic courses and most importantly the people behind the creation of them.
What a beautiful inspiring story and a fantastic channel - so glad to find you man! Keep up the great work - looking forward to exploring the back catalogue Cheers from Australia
Yoooo I’m a new subscriber idk how I came across this but definitely just found one of my new favorite TH-cam channels by far!!! Love this content so much
Oaxaca is an amazing town, I was lucky enough to travel there from Mexico City and west to the coast 15+ yeas ago from the UK... The peachy episode brings back memories. Eating chicken smothered in raw chocolate and baked! Thx EAL
What another magic place you found Eric. I can only imagine and dream Old Tom Morris would think "this is where I want to go for a holiday" Having played in North West Australia, sand greens are something special when you sink a putt!! 🙏⛳
When my 11 year old son over hears me listening to this episode and says “Hey, is that the guy who does the ‘Breaking Sawgrass’ or something?” I think I got him hooked! 🪝 ⛳️
I love Puerto Escondido! My wife and I backpacked though there in the early 2000's. It was an amazing little town. Like so many others, we found it by word of mouth.
I can't disclose too much, but yeah I've been using a coach called Ethan Jerry '' and through his guidance, l' ve been able to make approx $45,000 in dividends on a monthly basis, it is pretty straightforward, not as complicated as it used to be..
I'm a new investor and I'm using Ethan trading service as well, a broker who has been guiding me with my investment since I began last year, I have been able to accrue profit of $64,000 with a principal of $12,000
Chills…so well said…love my Hispanic crew. As an assistant super and lover of all things golf and community, I love watching all your escapades! Thanks!!
I still can’t wrap my brain around the fact that these videos are free for us. These are Netflix level docuseries. Absolutely electric
brother they still make money on adsense lol
UNITED NAILED IT! TOP NOTCH, AND 5 STARS! I WANNA GO!
For the love of golf. Erik. Do not stop. This is gold. Now if I can be so bold……give us another podcast, it’s been too long……..pretty please.
People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in bitcoin

As someone who loves both surfing and golf, I teared up a bit at that moment you caught that wave and felt the joy. Both activities can provide moments of transcendence.
Really love how these went from 8-10 minutes to 30 this season! Giving the people what they want.
I swear every episode just gets better. Keep it up Erik and crew!
I couldn’t agree anymore!
Yeah exactly! how do they keep leveling up each time!? Like where is the peak - how good can it get!? I absolutely love it
The algorythm made me fall into this: one of the most emotional and beautiful documentaries I’ve ever watched. I want to go to Puerto driving range and play barefoot with shorts. Immediately subscribed.

The fact that the son is considering giving his trophies that he earned to others tells me everything I need to know about how he was raised.

Erik surfing! What a legend. Took me months before I paddled out and caught my first wave haha. Way to go man.
Content is just unbelievable. This can’t be free

It's one of the main reasons you play golf is to enjoy the great outdoors, these videos are amazing.
The writing at 21:00 the surfing scene. Amazingly spoken! That was beautifully said.
I just cant believe how good these are...It's so inspiring to see a game, we all love so much, talked about and represented in a way we all deeply understand. Thank you, Erik and Crew!
The production value of these videos are so high and yet here we sit watching them for free. Thank you, sir!

I absolutely love adventures in golf. Some great videos in this series.
Erik that was so awesome. Nice par, but even better, nice 🌊👏
These keep getting better and better
You do not have to be a lover of golf to enjoy these stories , mate …. Its the stories that make this Chanel special … keep up the great work

The different ways others experience golf is truly amazing. Just shows how awesome the game is.
