Why Is Women's Golf in Japan Huge? | EAL in Japan

[@skylersilbey8565]

I still don't understand how Erik only has 67k subs... This is the highest quality golf channel on KZbin, with amazing edits, courses, and guests every episode. Everyone that likes golf should be subscribed!

[@teriley123]

I think its because they suck at filming golf or just dont care to do it well. They never talk about shots or what they are doing and you never see quality golf footage because they don't try to film golf. I wish I could like this channel more. I really wish I could. I must have watched 100 EAL videos and I have no idea what he is good at or bad at in his golf game. I think thats where he struggles to find a consistent audience in the golf community. I dont think he has found the balance of being hipster artsy( which is cool) and actually trying to diligently show golf shots. Thats why I don't subscribe anyway. But the Scotland series was really amazing. And I do enjoy the occasional video he does.

[@skylersilbey8565]

@@teriley123 Yeah it's true the actual raw GOLF aspect is a bit lacking, but I don't think that is really what Erik cares about. For him and his videos it's more about the culture and differences in golf around the world. It's more about golf culture than it is watching Erik play 18 holes.

[@teriley123]

​@@skylersilbey8565 Yeah I know what what the point of what he is doing is. The last video I watched before this one was The Renaissance Club video where he was whining a lot about doing a "Course vlog" type video. I didn't care for all the whining and I didn't care for this video at all. I mean how times are they gonna just keep filming Erik take a shot and then keep the camera dead on Erik as he reacts to a shot?? They must have done it 4 times in the space of 12 minutes. I watch vlogs all the time where they get shots of both the guy taking the shot and a broader shot of the direction and outcome of the shot. They could make an effort to film the golf better and also talk about burning trash and the girl "fitting in in Japan while also maintaining her sense of self" as well. Both things are do able.

@@teriley123 basically sums it up

[@emjfotografi]

Its not about the technical aspects of golf

[@patrickfullsail2011]

This has quickly become my favorite YT channel by far. You're the man, Erik!

[@pooter9838]

Will there be a video of the ace?

[@Budsport_TV]

Just Joshinnn45 guessing it will come out sooner or later. I recall EAL saying these vids don’t get edited and published for up to a month or two sometimes. Guessing they’ll make a big deal out of it, since it is the first ACE on the series

[@SuperCineHacks]

I just searched through five videos looks for an ace and couldn’t find it, I was so confused since I’ve watched all of them and didn’t see one when they first came our

[@dartboss0453]

I think I heard on his podcast that I was in New Zealand at Cape Kidnappers. So probably when they put out those videos.

[@micahgregus1659]

I had always hoped there would be no mention of it so when I finally happened and I witnessed it for the first time there would be pure virgin excitement!

[@gordongourlay4449]

it's these specific types of videos that make me itch to go out and play. great job.

[@TheGolfClan]

Your videos mean a lot to me. It was the first time I came to see golf as more than a sport. You helped me see that golf is the setting for the drama of life. It’s redemption. It’s heartbreak. It’s fellowship. Thank you for forever changing my relationship with golf and perspective on the game. I’ve now started a KZbin channel of my own, and have to constantly remember that golf is a bottomless ocean, a mountain with no summit. The beauty is in the dive and the climb. Cheers EAL

[@jamesofthevalley]

Erik, golf aside you and the team are just producing the best content out. Unique, intelligent and importantly, fun with both epic shots and honest dialogue (still trying to work out how you do all of this in a round). It's all about narrative and this perfectly captures the idiosyncratic nature of golf and the japanese culture, or wherever you travel for that matter. Just an overdue appreciation post. Vibes from Australia!

[@RandomGolfClubFilms]

Thanks!

[@Alex-zr8ho]

Started golfing at 21 and have been golfing for 3 years now. Im a solid 10 handicap and this channel just speaks to me. Erik Anders Lang and I have a very similar perspective on golf and I am glad he is able to give us beautiful content on all of his platforms. Thank you for the enjoyable videos and keep up the great work!!

[@BigDH28]

Can we just take a second to totally appreciate the lady Caddie! She is Not messing around! She absolutely knows her stuff with authority! Respect! ✊️👍💯

[@gregherman7906]

Erik, you’re videos are the first thing I watch as soon as I come home. Fantastic content, man!

[@duncanclark7715]

What video was Stuart’s ace on? I’m afraid I missed that one. I’d love to see the reactions

[@willlloyd9480]

Duncan Clark I second this request

[@alfieber]

Ditto!

[@MCJJtracks]

Probably means it is coming up!!

[@dartboss0453]

One of the best channels on YT right now - and not just in the golf genre, all categories

[@robertlyall]

Erik, keep doing what you’re doing. Your videos have kickstarted a new passion in my life and I’m having a whale of a time. Thank you!

[@rolandhoward9412]

as always, the good stuff. Love the ending of Erik just sitting by the bathrooms...

Building the Ace Cam hype! Can't wait to see it.

[@sunhoney3304]

Everybody Snowboards. Right!? I thought I must have missed it. Went back and checked. I wonder when we will see that video drop?

[@birdiesbrew4037]

Every time I see an EAL video makes me want to be out there playing golf! Great stuff guys!

[@wesb6125]

Great video again man. Love seeing that notification drop that you’ve released a new video. Also..I replayed the video about six times cos that opening track is BOMB. What is it? It’s a perfect fit.

[@MCJJtracks]

Loving the Japan videos Erik, headed there in a few months. Great content as always

[@franciscot]

These are so awesome, I don't play golf but I want to start now

[@withtkandjack5874]

No doubt .His videos have inspired me. Thanks, Erik.

Why haven’t I seen this ace cam yet?! Where is it?!

[@michaellacey7225]

Love the channel and the content. Keep it coming

[@thebloodyshambles]

Great episode again, I love watching women's golf and what was said here is something I already knew, the men can hit further, big whoop, they also hit more crooked. I have probably watched more professional womens golf in 2024 than the rest of my life before that. Its so much more clinical, hardly any shots in the rough, everything in the fairway. I have watched videos of women pros playing from the same tees as men and it evens out because their shots go where they are supposed to, almost every damn time! The female form on a swing tho, it is incredible to watch, the form and the lines on the back swing and follow through, it is like Golf was made for women! I am not kidding, its incredible, I am still an amateur but when I want to study shots I will watch women do the same shot and how they approach each shot. It would be a dream for me to go to Japan, if you go again, you should learn about Ueshiba Morehei, he is legendary for many things, but he is the founder of Aikido, he was a master and a leader, a philosopher and many decades ahead of his time. I would love to visit the original Dojo which I think his grandson is master.

[@OmarAliAWSM]

@RGC, do you guys have a spotify playlist of the tracks you use in your vids. Its so vibey!

[@Apqaval]

By far the most underrated channel

[@ianwalbert1520]

just curious what video does the gentleman get an ace in? I've watched all the videos and I didn't see it. I enjoy watching your videos and can see how much you appreciate the great game of golf.

[@alexsmith4689]

Wow! What an awesome country for golf! These videos are a great advertisement. ✌️

[@ByGaqi]

Did you guys play the course from lost in translation while you were over there!? That’s a dream of mine.

[@ERBarratt]

Content = super great, but the colour grading on the vid is very hard for me to watch. I tried on different devices, and it seems the same on all. Has there been any post-processing done on it?

question... I know those RGC sweatshirts are coming soon. BUT I am about to buy the RGC white script hat right now. So should I wait till RGC hoodies get put on the site and get one shipment orrrr go ahead and get the hat. help hah. either way i am getting both tho

[@RandomGolfClubFilms]

Hahah depends where you live for sh costs. Hoodies out in a few weeks at most i think

[@josha4128]

Living in Thailand, I constantly get told by Japanese that it's just so expensive to play in Japan...so they come here and that inflates the prices here! In Phuket it's become just too expensive for me simply because of Japanese/ Korean tourists/ businessmen.

[@TheGolfClan]

Josh A everything’s a little pricey in Phuket. So worth it if you’re just visiting but sounds like you’re living there...

[@robburig3271]

Man I miss japan fun place lived there for a year and a half the culture is interesting.

Please do a whats in your bag?? We need to know

[@vmalmfreddan]

That mans voice at 10:00 gave me goosebumps.

[@KQDUDE]

That's pretty cool that Women's Golf is treated seriously, and even draws more attention than men's golf in Japan. I think people in the U.S. are just picking up on that respect.

[@santi0089]

Because thanks to the Asian girls who's been dominating bringing their A-game for so many years eventually leveled up the US PGA tours.

[@AnthonyPerpepaj]

oh Shit i live in Bogota NJ, just came from the range we have here. sooo nuts to hear a coddie in Japan bring up my little town in NJ... golf is nuts.

[@nickhoulie2604]

Print the “EAL in Japan” overlay intro thing on some shirts?!?!

[@shimmyyeleye9185]

Japan golf is so pure but they ruin it with the lunches during the nines. I mean I wish you could play through. They also have onsens which is a public bath, (common in japan) so rich and so beautiful. Love japan.

[@wall1955]

great video I love the whole Japaneses trip

[@erikksebastian1627]

Aaaand we end with a shot of Erik hanging his head in shame on a bench outside the bathrooms after making a 7, asking himself why we play this beyond frustrating game that we just cannot help but love more than life itself. Just a cool duder wanting to have played somewhat approximating his best, yet not so frustrated he didn't accomplish this that he's thinking of doing harakiri in Aokigahara. Lol I was there yesterday my fellow Erik, except I was playing all by my lonesome at my lackluster public home course in my home country, as per the usual. Takeaway: The grass is always greener. Except when you're in Japan, where it's yellow.

Its all about stroke play its always you vs yourself vs the course

[@JoeSmith-ci2nr]

This must've been a while ago because it's Super hot in Japan right now and there is no chance they would be wearing long sleeves to play.

[@Alex-yl6bq]

Such a small world with the caddie

[@JulienB_BTW]

I wonder what the odds are the a japenese caddie would have gone to school in Jersey City?

[@erikksebastian1627]

I think I'm going to move to Japan/South Korea, teach English during the week, and be a women's golf tour fanboy groupie on the weekends. Find one from Canada/Stateside who speaks my language, caddie for her in more ways than one, ostensibly until the jimmy breaks (by accident ;), then become a stay at home Dad bringing junior to the course to watch mumsy, who's out there trying to bring in the Benjamins, but secretly not having a care in the world because her parents or support network got her back. So How Youu Doin' Kacie K ;) Lol

Can't help but wonder why some people were wearing masks? 🤔

[@indiefruit]

There are lots of reasons why masks are popular in asian countries. It can be anything from pollution, to allergies, germs, habit, fashion, or any mix of those and more. Just something that started about 100 years ago and ended up becoming a norm for a lot of people.
