Desert Greens Should Never Be This Pure | Adventures in Golf Season 6

[@connorwhite5468]

Why is that guy in the coffee shop alomost like Erik's long-lost brother?

[@cliffordosborne8810]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@RandomGolfClubFilms]

Haha I ran into him in a coffee shop in Austin the week after! What a legend

[@jonoel6638]

Yep I was going to say the same thing

[@kushal474]

haha yeah dude

[@Namesi]

Officially the best golf channel on KZbin if not all platforms. The reverence you hold for the game and the honor and respect you show each venue is something to behold. Thanks, as always!

[@KidDreamingBig]

Absolutely agree! This is professional filmmaking and it’s such a breath of fresh air. Incredible work, from story development to cine to the cutting room. In love with this channel and can’t wait for more

[@Growinggolfing]

Ehh, it’s more of a travel channel than a golf channel.

[@Namesi]

@@Growinggolfing Semantics.

[@a.m.doesit9347]

KZbin algorithm delivers again

[@cband8030]

@@Namesi less than 5% of the video was golf.

[@albinobluesheep]

John and Christian's reactions at the end was so incredibly wholesome.

[@kyltuck]

I cant believe they did not know he was coming and doing a video. It was so good to see their reactions.

[@albinobluesheep]

@@kyltuck my best guess is Grampa mentioned "Oh some folks are doing a documentary on the town and golf course, swing by and say hi" and left it at that, lol.

[@urieltorres54]

@@albinobluesheep bruh

[@LeelssDelta]

@@albinobluesheep Zero doubts on that. They're reactions are so wholesome, and would likely be the same from just about anybody watching these if we ran into Erik.

[@matthiebert4902]

This is hardly a “KZbin golf show” more like incredible filmmaker. Wonderful work Erik.

[@zinskeep]

Erik, this season really hits home. Growing up and now currently living in a farm town of 1700, this really brings lights to some finest forms of people. Creating our own industry and living off the land is still something many of us take great pride in. The sense of community Marfa shares carries familiarity. Thank you and your team for this gem.

[@jaerojo]

Another beautiful story. It blows my mind how you guys find the stories while telling them at the same time. Unreal work Erik & team.

[@j.garrickhill400]

Great vid. RIP Jeff Hester.

[@21Swayzee]

Gem of a place, way to highlight the community behind it. Ernest is a machine, hand picking balls in the desert!

[@conorholmes4796]

Zero chance I’d be able to leave without helping him pick up the balls I hit, I’d probably die in the Texas sun but I’d try anyways 🇨🇦

[@21Swayzee]

@@conorholmes4796 yeah I'm with you, I would not use the range at all, knowing he had to hand pick the balls! Sweet to hear from a fellow Canadian!

[@TeamBeastmode]

Ernest is that one guy that’s impossible to hate. Keep on doing you man! 😭😭😭😭

[@derekcarlberg2757]

EAL, you’re the man. I listen to the podcast and watch you on KZbin. Everything about you screams; genuine, authentic, compassionate and interested in others. The day in a blind golfer’s life video, got my wife and I shedding tears. Keep up the great work my friend. Love the Mayors swing and that fellers no teeth smile and laugh. Good folk out there.

[@daakudaddy5453]

Your videos converted me into a golf fanatic! I am 28 years old and started playing golf on an app on my mobile. I came to YT looking for meaning of words like 'Birdie' and 'Eagle', and stumbled upon AIG. And now I'm all into golf, have signed up for golf training, soon will be buying my own kit and joining a course.

[@ryankennedy5587]

Welcome to the most infuriating, wonderful hobby you'll ever have

[@trap9o233]

buying my own kit 😭😭

[@bigbluemsp]

Ernest's grandkid's reactions took this video from great to awesome. Through political and cultural differences that town is one big family. Great to see that they get together over golf to unwind.

[@ronniemartinez4403]

Grew up playing in Marfa along many others. Thanks for bringing this great little course to the world.

[@jasontaylor7215]

Thank you Erik for this show. Just binged all 5 seasons the last two weeks. You have inspired me to retrack my golf roots. Please keep doing what your doing.

[@jamesonwilliams8993]

I recently found this channel because of my love of golf but this show is so much more than golf. It's a look at how golf brings people and communities together. This episode in particular was an emotional experience as so many of these are.

[@noahlancaster6326]

The way Erik talks about golf incapsulates everything we all feel for the game. It’s truly a love for the game and you can feel it. This channel is amazing

[@bakerbbyotch]

This is the best little golf course in Texas! Ernest was my swing coach in High-school, helped me bring home a State championship in golf in 97

[@dan.downing]

Erik and team, golf is always the centerpiece, but this episode reminds me that the brilliance of this show is that you always look for the people and stories that are behind the golf and then bring it back to how a real one-of-a-kind experience doesn’t happen without them. These are my favorite episodes

[@benjaminl3084]

If I knew of this place 20 years ago when I lived in TX I would have visited in a heartbeat! No Walmart's, Home Depot, Lowes, Targets......just small town America and a great golf course! Nice job and love your channel!

[@Burschlag]

That was awesome of you to play with Ernest's grandsons, I'm sure they'll never forget that

[@cristianontiveros6932]

Definitely an awesome and grateful experience!

[@hunterbrandon8391]

So glad I found this series. What a gem for a golf fan

[@OvationYT]

You and Max look like you could be related its SCARY!! What an amazing episode! Thank you so much for providing us with these amazing experiences!

[@ryanarmstrong956]

Eriks twin for sure

[@markc3653]

In the field of golf KZbin videos there's nothing else that comes close to the artistic beauty Mr. Lang's videos

[@blakeboring4041]

I’m from the midland/Odessa area and can attest to how peaceful this area is. The people in west Texas genuinely care about their neighbors. It’s something you miss when you live somewhere else. This is one of my favorite videos you have made.

[@joeyarispe1755]

This series is like the “Sandlot” of golf tells an amazing story about a beautiful sport.

[@pablorosas4716]

He kinda even sounds like the narrator in that movie

[@TrippyWheelsEnduro]

Small town Texas is such a peaceful way of life. Lack of quality golf is rough but, it is something everyone should experience for at least a weekend.

[@ryanlochhead6962]

Man, Erik and his team never cease to amaze me with their storytelling. One of a kind.

[@swirvin_irvin19]

literally the best videos on youtube. cant get enough of this series! EAL is an incredible host and the B-roll makes you feel extremely connected to their destination!

[@oldskola3634]

These stories are ridiculously good, and beautiful, and fantastically captured! I’m officially a fan

[@conorholmes4796]

That episode had everything, you’ve done it again EAL

[@albinobluesheep]

It's the hottest club in newyork

[@drewkg14]

This is the best golf channel, golf show, golf golf, just a "SHOW" on youtube. It's like a non ironic No reservations with honesty. Thank you guys.

[@mrdsntiago]

Being from El Paso, to have EAL out in Marfa makes me very happy, I haven't finished the episode but I hope he made his way into Balmorrhea too

[@HelloWorldRobnLisa]

If you tried to find the most unique story that is far, far off the modern world map, you would still have to travel 3 hours to get the Marfa.. Truly wonderful storytelling EAL. Your series highlights the "good" that is inherent within people and that is why your VLOG's are works of Art. I am excited before I click the play button every time, because I can't wait to be immersed within the local culture, personal stories and the history which you bring to life so vividly. Thank you EAL and to your talented team. Cheers!

[@admiralackiusproductius7248]

Best series on youtube, EAL deserves an Emmy

[@adambaray9143]

Played there last year on a self trip to the area just to escape. Truly a jewel. Been wanting to go back and now this really makes me want to go back. Thanks for coming to my neck of the desert ❤️

[@Megaolhesto]

Erik, your portraits of people and places are straight up amazing. I love how you make the characters that you meet, open up and show us their passion and lifework. I know it's not just you, but also the crew, you're just great. This episode made me wanna go see Marfa right away. Also how golf is so totally different to people. Thanks man!

[@csgoat968]

This season has been awesome, making my bucket list that much longer with each video

[@RandomGolfClubFilms]

Just wait! The next seven get pretty wild

[@owenhapgood2923]

Outstanding storytelling and cinematography. Always have the perfect shot to cut to to fit the narrative. The quality of the story and production is on another level. How is this free! Look forward to Tuesday every week. Keep them coming 👍🏼

[@robbywittlin1631]

Such a great content. Marfa rang a bell to me in terms of Art but never would I have thought about a municipal golf course. Fantastic episode!

[@JaySteetsArt]

I love these episodes. Finding golf and community in the forgotten corners of the earth.

[@infomineco7111]

It's getting better, and better and better on each adventure. Brilliant Erik !

[@markhallett9264]

Got to say that actually moved me. You have done some great stuff but that was easily the best. Thank you.

[@tomrichardson9799]

Simplicity of life is something we should all seek.

[@all-timealien4483]

Man, I forgot about this series and I’m ashamed I did. Such a great job that EAL and the team does with this

[@davidbyck]

Eric, this has got to be one of the best videos you’ve made. Well done, happy new year!

[@thomaspryor8202]

I really enjoyed this episode! And I have thought highly of many of them. But this is great!

[@camposcreations2323]

So interesting. My family is from Chihuahua and we always drove through Marfa to go visit our family but never really stopped to look around. Guess I'll have to stop for a quick round one of these times.

[@steventworek5841]

This is the best channel on KZbin. So good! Thank you for your amazing stories and I can’t wait to see the next one.

[@nmuniz3286]

This is very well done. My parents grew up in Marfa. Ernest is one of my dad’s best friends. I liked learning more about some of the “new” people in Marfa. We enjoy going to the Sentinel (the old funeral home!) when we are in town.

[@davidR9410]

Going out there for some work this weekend and taking the clubs to sneak in 9 holes in Marfa, 9 in Alpine and hopefully 18 in Fort Stockton. 36 holes of desert golf 👍

[@Koyotito20]

Going to definitely put this on my list of places to stop for the golf and the art. Great insight on this small town another cool fact is Smokey Yunik trained to be a bomber pilot there during WW2.

[@vconc3pt]

Beautiful cinematography. Love this!

[@rainonyourparade]

Perfect stolen sentiment. Well made short sir. I appreciate your appreciation for Marfa. Art meets Golf. Bravo.

[@southrk]

I truly appreciate the life/human aspect of your videos.

[@jeffalldredge4237]

Erik, the videos keep getting better and makes me want to move to a place like this when I retire. Keep up the great work!

[@njbwong]

Not sure if this has ever been said but EAL is the Anthony Bourdain of golf! Didn't think it was going to be good golf content...and it turned out to be Awesome all around content. Keep up the good work!

[@javakidnyc1]

I literally wrote this comment about a week ago on the thread for the Tijuana episode. The show is about people and culture and golf is the excuse/theme vs food.

[@chrismitchell5496]

I said your last one and said it was the best episode..... ok now your just showing off my guy! well done EAL..

[@NeilFBarr]

Speaking as a demographic researcher, this is a great case study in rural gentrification. Lovely.

People and places, such a harsh, beautiful landscape. 10 out of 10 again!

[@lambofcod9554]

So much more than golf. Love every second of every video.

Please keep the gentleman at @8:25 in your thoughts. He is my uncle and he slipped into a diabetic coma a few days ago and is now on life support.

[@defaultcs2]

These videos are just mind blowing, insane. Keep up the great work Skratch.

[@TeamPerry5]

No other way to describe it…simply perfection. Man I love these videos. Keep em coming!

[@erikwilliman1515]

Awesome episode bro. As a person born in California. Texas is always in my heart. Def want to go here now just to play and learn. Do an episode out here soon! Rustic Canyon.Sandpiper!

As a Texan, this is fantastic. Thank you! Marfa lights!

[@tomg.6881]

Idk bout that lol

UNREAL WORK 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@jimmydelrio8662]

Your best work. Reminds me of your old stuff and how you started.

[@theraleighdrummer9265]

Exactly…… Erik, I hope one day we can go out on a public course here in Raleigh, NC talk it up and maybe even hit a few golf balls. Awesome episode once again.

[@alexdavis3641]

Where do you normally play?

[@marshfacekillahbee]

Black Jacks Crossing in Lajitas TX, cool course in that area too. “In that area” isn’t around the bend in Texas terms haha

[@KGB908]

This was the first video I've seen from Skratch. The production quality is incredible, and the content was well thought out, entertaining, and not an attention grab. How are there only 150k subscribers for this content? Was your media previously elsewhere?
