[@SkratchTV]

Erik Anders Lang will be joining us in the live chat for this premiere! Tuesday 3rd November at 1p ET / 10a PT

[@riley7brown]

the audio while the kids are playing is GOLD

[@BehindThePlate42]

Reminds me of playing Hampton Golf Course in Rochester, MI when I was 12, 13.

[@charliesmithers7663]

Completely agree. For all the crap about kids playing Xbox how refreshing that they can be so chilled & at ease hacking about

[@KoloaKane]

I know right ? He's always got such great music !!!

[@superman2326]

Holy cow, that last minute watching those kids play together brought a huge smile to my face. What a future of young golfers that this course is responsible for...so cool.

[@Renmazuo27]

Couldn't agree with you more. One way of making it more accessible to people of all ages.

[@jordanhunter9279]

The kids playing and the music had some awesome ‘Sandlot’ vibes

[@mountainmischief3828]

"If there's a problem, I'll handle it." "Is there a problem, ever?" "Nooo, nuh uh." Best. Job. Ever.

[@boomer8888888888]

The park ranger had a great swing!

[@SPIIIVA]

One time me and my buddies were drinkin beers on the course and that ranger came up to us and we thought we were busted. But he just wanted to hangout and watch us finish the round 😂

[@carterdrake6220]

@@SPIIIVA that's amazing!

[@nickschwear1610]

Tom: The lowest we’ve ever shot is -4 or -5 Erik: This could be my day! *one minute later* Erik: *is punching out from the tree line*

[@tser1983]

This is my home and current town. Me and my brother used to go in the woods and gather balls and sell them for a quarter a piece. We lived right on the corner of this street on thorton st. This video made my day

[@chrislords_dpt]

This video gave me a new life goal: make enough money to build a free golf course.

[@murraywestenskow2896]

Me - too - I need a good goal to spur me through the rest of my life. A *Free Golf Trust* in a small town is just the ticket.

[@joshuanesky]

I love dumb dumb

[@Wildest_Wahoo]

Same here!

[@tonymansell3500]

Me too!! I live 5 minutes walk from an old course my city council stopped funding 5 years ago and I would love to buy it and reopen it for everyone to play. Before thy build houses on it, which is what they plan to do.

[@Scottsdaleofficesteve]

And setup an investment fund to maintain it

[@mikeboardman6028]

I grew up playing this course and i also grew up playing it with Ryan, who chipped in for eagle! So awesome to see this course getting some spotlight!

[@tylersowl5895]

Huge fan of this series for someone who just started getting into the game of golf.

[@Noxtrot]

Erik is amazing! And the series are so well done. The filming, the editing, everything.

[@ReallyTallMan]

Welcome to Golf! Forget about the scores and have a hell of a time playing this wonderful game!

[@hudsonwalker3957]

Same

[@robertsjolund449]

This is everything golf is meant to be! Every city and town in America needs a place like this. The kids at the end is perfect, reminds me of my days at the muni. This is why I love golf and work in the industry.

[@rileyatterholt9249]

Was the “adventure” of a lifetime!! Thank you EAL, RGC, and Skratch!

[@TacoStacks]

Erik is the greatest out there

[@maxwellyousse448]

Oh man I remember being those kids on the course. Playing golf with my buddies is one of the highlights of my youth. Glad this place exists and that it is helping more people have that experience.

[@noahblocher5693]

5:17 the dad from an older video. So inspirational and amazing. ALL ARE WELCOME

[@coreyleventhal3694]

Great video, love the sandlot vibe at the end

[@KevinBostwick]

5:19 that's what this beautiful game is all about! Skratch and Erik put out some of the best golf content on KZbin!

[@gavinfolkert3297]

Couldn’t stop smiling watching this video. This is what golf, and really a community is all about. Everyone just doing their part and enjoying the game. Great vid!!!

[@rayder1720]

The Sandlot reference is the best part of this whole video! This episode of AIG is one of my favorites. Love the idea and the community a golf course can create.

[@beegee22]

Loved the park ranger sharing that as a kid he and others just got dropped off and spent the days there. This brought visions of long days filled with all kinds of matches and contests among the kids who went home tired and to rest ready to do it again the next day. It's clear that kids today are able to do the same. Awesome!

[@willcrawford7896]

Ok the sandlot at the end is pure gold

[@zid4117]

My hometown course, never seen sharon look that good on the drone shots. Great stuff

[@CROWLEY2478]

I would watch a whole episode of those kids playing. Great Course!!!

[@murraywestenskow2896]

Gotta say - that last minute evoked a lot of memories for me. I bet one of those kids was actually playing a Spalding Kro-Flite.

[@barrybr1]

I've seen Erik playing some of the world's greatest courses and enjoyed this episode as much as any. Loved the park ranger stepping up and thumping one off the tee and those kids at the end and the energy in Erik's group, especially that chip-in, all of it.....what golf is about! Congrats mate, great episode!

[@franidelaserna]

I came into this series for the golf, but stayed for the story telling.

[@andyd3291]

The place I learned to play!

[@SPIIIVA]

Same

[@ericratynski]

If I go there, can I donate to the course? I’m from Canada but I drive down the 79 a few times a year? I just feel bad taking advantage of the locals tax payer money.

[@cdcrisan]

@@ericratynski Yes, they regularly accept donations at the sign-in window!

[@AntonioSolansGolf]

La mejor serie de golf de la historia. Espectacular Erik! 🔥

[@somosmarketing8507]

La verdad es que sí. Pedazo de serie la de Adventures in Golf y el canal personal de Erik, Random Golf Club. ¡Saludos desde Éibar Antonio!

[@christopherjamespaynejr7288]

I practiced here for years my favorite place to practice and work on my game with my bro’s

[@silasrussell500]

Without Buhl Farm course, I would have never had the opportunity to discover golf. As a working class kid, I taught myself to play at Buhl (or Dumb Dumb, as it's known by locals) with a 5 dollar make shift "set" of clubs that I bought from the local Goodwill. I live in Pittsburgh now, but I still play Buhl everytime I come home to visit family - my all-time favorite golf course!

[@trentthompson6996]

the shared bag at the end is a classic, great episode

[@brianking6260]

Great video. Grew up playing this course countless times.

[@cdcrisan]

Where I learned to play, and where I hope future generations can continue to learn to play!

[@DJ025x]

That outro scene threw me back to childhood in the best way, loved this video makes me want to visit

[@LordWellfleet]

I grew up playing here. Ironically, it's right across the street from a country club.

[@jasonlovi8745]

12:47 this makes me wanna see a sandlot-esque movie with golf

[@RealSteveDave]

The end made this video gold. What an awesome place

[@codyherriot3672]

Man.... this ticks all the boxes. The coolest.

[@andrewlandman9377]

This series is the best. Lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and didn’t even know this existed. Definitely will be up there come spring!

[@bennetttaylor6175]

Make a day of it and play the avalon buhl course right next door. Dum dums isnt really worth a 3 hour round trip. But the avalon is and itll be a good extra 9 holes on dum dums.

[@crowsbeakx22]

Sandlot bit was awesome!! Great seeing a group of guys that age just playing golf and hanging out!! This needs to catch on!!!!!

[@joshuanesky]

Eric: free golf course Me: I wish there was one near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Eric: this course in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is completely free Me:😮😮😮😁😁😁

[@gregference1714]

It is not in Pittsburgh. It is 70 miles away.

[@davidharrison4632]

community golf at its absolute best. Amazing to see ^_^

[@tylerpirtle6830]

There’s a place in Yuma, Arizona where it’s a par 3 course with an honor system. So there’s no tee times and you just show up and put like $10 in the mail box and go play.

[@TheEdiaz91]

LOVE this idea. I guess it's time to reach out to my city hall and see what I can do to get this started.

[@nickcordarojr.2751]

Learned to play golf here in the late 80s while attending Slippery Rock University. Loved it. One day I’ll be back.

[@Turfmastr]

Skratch..everytime I watch a video I’m blown away. This type of stuff makes you believe in the world.

[@sidsnyder7023]

As a resident of Hermitage and a frequent golfer at Buhl Park…. This. Is. AWESOME.

[@eloinvagvagovic6468]

That ending film🔥

[@edgursky3118]

This course was almost in my front yard. Learned to play golf there and both of my boys played there. Best thing in the world of golf. Still remember when Arnold Palmer was there to open the new course layout.

[@skaterXYZ]

I loved the sandlot comparison at the end

[@lostlang]

The content on this channel is absolutely top tier

[@brandonmcmahan676]

So so awesome. Profiles of courses like this are what brought me here and why I keep watching. Thanks, EAL!

[@Wildest_Wahoo]

Mr. Buhl sounds like a very humble man, and an ahead of his time thinker.

[@andrewpirie89]

Love this, and ending is gold. Chip "I'll take it", kid's a lifelong golfer for sure :)

[@williambloor4816]

Absolute class from you here Erik, you continue to make me want to keep watching so thank you for that

[@0fret746]

accessibility! golf needs more of it, this place is a gem

[@bonytony8855]

Never thought I’d see the day your intro was done in Pittsburgh. So awesome!

[@tafkamberlin]

The intro is mindblowing!

[@Labgorilla]

What a great episode. And what a great way of getting new golfers into the game.

[@chrisw6297]

I did a group mission trip in that cute little town!! Rebuilt a wheel chair ramp and deck for this sweet old gal. I definitely have a reason to go back now!!

[@TheCeraminator]

That last shot of the kid struggling to carry a bag as big as him is fantastic

[@joshuagillock7666]

What an awesome gift to what seems like a very loving city!!!

[@MFCJOSH]

I live here and learned on this course. So great full to have the buhl family.

[@SoshoallyUnfit]

I love the sandlot ending.

[@reuk]

Wow! It does exist This is another level of giving back to the community

[@michaelgraham628]

It’s crazy seeing Erik in a town I like minutes from

[@lauriebarns9901]

The atmosphere of this club reminds of learning to play in Scotland as a pre-teen in the 1960's. Public Courses were not free but extremely cheap (I still feel guilty paying more than £1 per hole even now; more money than sense). Family groups were in the majority on the weekend and everyone was tolerant of kids with more enthusiasm than ability. After 15 minutes of a 7 year old kid trying to advance his ball, his father would wave the group behind through. Miss that atmosphere.

[@Touji_Kyosei]

This is what we need more coverage on.. not the super exclusive resorts that only the elite can afford. Bravo EAL and crew 🤙 way better than previous seasons

[@stevobevo91]

Probably my favorite video yet, and they’ve all been great

[@desertstoner450]

So awesome to see a place 10 min away from me featured here. Something I never thought would happen.

[@Sleeper_productions]

Pittsburgh has some amazing courses. I love the variety we have here

[@stecho0607]

just might be my favorite video of all time

[@greghinton5424]

What a great place. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@PickleRickno.1]

This is probably one of the best things I've ever seen bloody love it. Coming from the UK most good courses are private and even rubbish courses cost way to much a round this is a beautiful thing respect.

[@joeillingworth1141]

Reasons why I love disc golf.

[@ryankenny5]

Sir, your content is amazing. Thank you!

[@danielfarmer4311]

One of the best yet! Love it

[@boardingbear]

In 2013 I played a few rounds of golf at the Gate Ranch golf course in Washington, just southwest of Olympia. It was operated by two brothers, Jim and Bill Dunson. After reading an article, I discovered that they have both passed away, and the fate of the free-to-play 9 hole course is unfortunately up in the air. I also found out Mike Rowe did an episode in "Returning the Favor" highlighting this course and its owners. A great watch for anybody into a feel good story and golf.

[@denmark39]

Great town. Golf should have courses like this to discover golf and bind people together

[@jacobmyers7566]

This is freaking awesome I have a short 9 hole course close to home here in South Central PA and it's amazing just going out and playing along with people you don't know I love it and you always meet interesting people!!! Love to see things like this grow the game!!!

[@bmm9738]

The intro is sick

[@jessicam1207]

I’m from here and we LOVE Buhl Park and the Free golf course! It’s definitely a great ice breaker… “I live near the only free golf course in the world!”

[@21Swayzee]

Be nice to see Susan Wojcicki follow suit. Glad to see the course is still free. Keep rocking it dudes!

[@scottscot5734]

Great video. Smiled most the way thru.

[@michaelhoover3640]

I'm from Pittsburgh Pa and I never knew this was there! Very excited to make the drive up and play a round with some friends!

[@seegolfplaygolf8677]

The end def hit home... great audio while the kids hacked around!

[@jdpst20]

Born and raised in Pittsburgh! Super cool to see that you checked this course out. I've never played it but I know the area well. So Sweet!! That is one thing I LOVE most about PGH, is the people! I actually just came back from a week long trip from the Burgh Nov 1-9 and it just felt so great to be back home with friendly people, Unless you say you're from Philly or Cleveland.

[@todd1276]

Played here hundreds of times as a child. Was called Dum-Dum then

[@MarkLiversedge]

Oh man there is so much right with that- and highlights how much wrong elsewhere. The kids at the end, that was awesome.

[@josephdurkin8180]

This is awesome it seems like a cool place to meet people as well

[@caseychapman4751]

I enjoy this course. I live just down the road and find this a very nice place to learn the game.

[@Pryan5577]

Amazing episode, this is such a great series

[@Carp_Loc322OZ40]

Definitely a spin off of the kids playing golf!

[@PAcards25]

That's my hometown, I grew up golfing at "dum dum" golf course

[@JMerk2222]

I live close to this course and it’s great 👌 really cool to see it be recognized!

[@justonemori]

Great video. Blacklick Woods Golf course has a free muni (for county residents, $9 for everyone else) 9 hole and practice area. First Tee program is free too. It's a 30 minute drive if you're ever in town for the Memorial tournament. Holla!

[@themuscovyducks]

This series is so entertaining and informative. Really get an appreciation for how diverse the game of golf is and how many different ways you can play it. From Slum Golf to jungles to desert, it really is a worldly game. EAL if you ever want to come to Michigan for a ski mountain golf course with awesome elevation changes, I'm your local guide hit me up.

[@brentcolby7670]

love the kid aspect of it, reminds me of when me and my brother were dropped off in the morning and we would bicker all day who was bettter.... lol

[@epson552]

Wow this is Amazing incredible how all of the people are giving back something in exchange 🙏🏼
