This has quickly become my favorite YT channel by far. You're the man, Erik!
I still don't understand how Erik only has 67k subs... This is the highest quality golf channel on UA-cam, with amazing edits, courses, and guests every episode. Everyone that likes golf should be subscribed!
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.
@@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.
@@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
Its not about the technical aspects of golf
it's these specific types of videos that make me itch to go out and play. great job.
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 UA-cam 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
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!
Thanks!
Will there be a video of the ace?
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
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
I think I heard on his podcast that I was in New Zealand at Cape Kidnappers. So probably when they put out those videos.
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!
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!!
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! ✊️👍💯
Building the Ace Cam hype! Can't wait to see it.
Everybody Snowboards. Right!? I thought I must have missed it. Went back and checked. I wonder when we will see that video drop?
Erik, you’re videos are the first thing I watch as soon as I come home. Fantastic content, man!
as always, the good stuff. Love the ending of Erik just sitting by the bathrooms...
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!
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.
Every time I see an EAL video makes me want to be out there playing golf! Great stuff guys!
EAL and the team make me fall in love with golf even more with every video😍
What video was Stuart’s ace on? I’m afraid I missed that one. I’d love to see the reactions
Duncan Clark I second this request
Ditto!
Probably means it is coming up!!
I think I heard on his podcast that I was in New Zealand at Cape Kidnappers. So probably when they put out those videos.
11:03 "we'll go with that" makes me think it was more than 3 lol
Loving the Japan videos Erik, headed there in a few months. Great content as always
By far the most underrated channel
These are so awesome, I don't play golf but I want to start now
No doubt .His videos have inspired me. Thanks, Erik.
Erik another great golf vlog!! Kacie seems really nice too!! Liking the Japanese videos!!
Love the channel and the content. Keep it coming
the hair flopping around when he bows...funny.....and I'm a bit jealous. Another quality video.
Thank you for this video! More fodder for me to prepare to play a little in Japan. 😍
Why haven’t I seen this ace cam yet?! Where is it?!
Wow! What an awesome country for golf! These videos are a great advertisement. ✌️
Thanks for making me go play some golf today!
One of the best channels on YT right now - and not just in the golf genre, all categories
Another quality vid, Respect!
Great video as always. Keep it up Erik :D
Wasnt going to go play today..now I'm afraid I have to..thanks eal
When did you film? wondering if the yellow is normal or just time of year. Another great series and wicked great content... still hard to believe you haven't crushed 100k subs... keep up the goodies!
There is an insurance ad on the tv that had this song I couldn't find.. next minute my guy EAL is listening to the song in his car, song found bang! The Teskey Brothers - Forever You and Me. Wedding song yeww Pl&h
@RGC, do you guys have a spotify playlist of the tracks you use in your vids. Its so vibey!
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.
Morris County Represent!
Madison's a great town EAL!
I'm born raised and still live in Morristown😆
We loved the hockey rivelry with Madison in high school.
Did you go to Madison or one of the 10 super nice privite schools like Delbartan and MoBerd?
Love your content.
Keep it up E.A.L. !
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?
Man I miss japan fun place lived there for a year and a half the culture is interesting.
ooooohhhh baby am I ready for that ace cam vid
BEAUTIFUL COURSE !!!
Did you guys play the course from lost in translation while you were over there!? That’s a dream of mine.
I have become a big fan of your content!
I totally want to go play in Japan now.
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.
Josh A everything’s a little pricey in Phuket. So worth it if you’re just visiting but sounds like you’re living there...
I’ve been playing golf in Japan in Ibaraki for 20 years love the courses hardly any women play 5% at best
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.
You made me wanna play golf and make my own path love you Erik
Love the ads! Keep it up!
Simmer down
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
Hahah depends where you live for sh costs. Hoodies out in a few weeks at most i think
Print the “EAL in Japan” overlay intro thing on some shirts?!?!
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.
What Jumper is EAL wearing in this Video?
That mans voice at 10:00 gave me goosebumps.
"Wow, I have never heard that number before" LOL
Why is the fairways and rough so off colour, hardly frosty, nice track though.
Michael Harte i guess they just leave the rough and work on the fairways
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.
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.
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.
great video I love the whole Japaneses trip
“I’m probably scratch” she said 🤣
"...you say you're a 6? I'll give you 8." LOL Total "bagger' move.
Please do a whats in your bag?? We need to know
Which video did the ace happen?
they keep teasing it but not releasing it. Apparently Stu hit one that is still on ice.
Heard him mention its be out in a couple months I think...I want to say October
@MG ya..wasnt sure if it was Sept or oct..was trying to lower expectations..but I do believe your probably right
That place looks awesome! Ignore the flag I got to catch a flight! I’m sure to another amazing golf course. Love your work keep it up EAL⛳️🏌🏻♂️
Such a small world with the caddie
Damn she's got a really nice swing
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.
Woo
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
Its all about stroke play its always you vs yourself vs the course
I wonder what the odds are the a japenese caddie would have gone to school in Jersey City?
Wowwwww, Ace Cam spoiler!!! :/
Burning plastic ain’t no thang in Japan. Erik seemed like he was shocked
congrats
thats a FUNKY ASS BEAT son !
I hope you had hole in one insurance while you were there! Their tradition is to buy expensive gifts for everyone in the group.
Whoa, spoiler alert on the ace cam. Not cool!
Ace cam tease 🙁
Sad to hear about all the waste and burning of trash. I expected more from Japan.
Kind of crime this channel only has 68K subs... girls making slime wreck that number, don't get it. Come on people, spread it.
In Japan plastic waste is burned 🥵 he’s asking what that burning smell is… you find trash cans that on fire?
you need 18strokes
I smell something burning. Oh just plastic.
Masks in 2019...maybe it’s from the dioxin (torched plastic) or maybe it was more preventative maintenance. In any event, welcome to 2020 and beyond.
3rd view, 3rd comment.
löä
English speaking caddy in Japan? unreal... I guess she got more fee than usual caddy fee.
Let's burn plastic....
Burning plastic? Not great
Can't help but wonder why some people were wearing masks? 🤔
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.
burning trash and plastic wtf
