  • Me And My Golf (Piers Ward and Andy Proudman) teach hundreds of thousands of golfers around the world through social media. When they arrive in Los Angeles, they meet Erik Anders Lang at Penmar Golf Course, a little 9-hole track in Venice, California. They also meet Craig, a golfer who is about to play his first ever round of golf.
    -
    Between chewing on Penmar's famous banana pancakes and watching Craig play his first round, Piers and Andy talk origins of Me And My Golf, interact with the locals, give a few tips, and enjoy a relaxing and entertaining round at one of Los Angeles' busiest public courses.

      Same, the smile never left my face and even some tears shed and yet I don't golf. Pretty much becoming an empty nester. My kids played golf (it was their sport)... I took them to a friend that would help them become better at golf but he assured me that through his instructions they would also become better at life. I've walked so many miles of this sport, filmed hundreds of hours of video so my children could self correct after viewing and to see this video brings me back to ground zero. Was emotional on all levels. He has found the birthplace of why golf is great.

It's much less about the score and so much more about the people and courses your surrounded by. Sincerely, A junk yard course player in North Carolina.

      I also work in the golf industry and i play maybe 15 rounds a year. If you want to play golf then working with golf is not a good idea. Especially in Sweden where there is a golf season of maybe 6-7 months. You end up working 125% during that time and a bit less in off season when you can't play golf.

    haven't really thought about my first day on the course till i watched this, for years as a kid i would play the local par 3 not even knowing there was par 4 and 5s in existence let alone one tee box away from where i would play with my friends. sometime once i was getting a little good my dad thought i wouldn't be too much of an embarrassment to take me on the regulation. we played the back 9, nothing spectacular about the first hole i ever played but to this day #9 its my favorite hole to play. there is always that same feeling lingering when i step up to that tee box now. on that day my dad birdied #14, i still remember where the pin was and now whenever i see it over in that back left corner below a rolling hill of the green i try to play it like he did, every time. I don't know how but that day is fully apart of me.

    I'm so glad I came across this video! I'm from Chicago but have played Penmar many times. My parents retired to Santa Monica in '78, so I spent a ton of time visiting them over the years. My dad was always an avid golfer, and Penmar became his home course. He and I played many, many rounds together there where he knew everybody. He and I even paired up with Charles Bronson and his son one time! It's really a timeless place in LA that I miss since my dad died in '07 and we moved my mom back to Chicago in 2018 until she died 18 mos later. I'll forever have a soft spot in my heart for Penmar!

Getting back into the game after a 7-8 year layoff and planning to play more of the great municipal courses when I'm on the road for business. Thanks for bringing these great courses to light - they show that golf can be a game played by everyone. Great work!

Imagine what she told her friends after, "I got paired up with some dude with a camera and 2 gents from the UK". I also am trying to remember the first time I played a round of golf. I was 8 years old, it was a local 3 hole tournament at a muni golf course. I finished dead last place I think. I got hooked, I would hack around the yard and neighborhood the next few years w my junior clubs until I was old enough to ride my bike to the local parks and recreation course pulling my dads clubs/cart behind me for 9 holes.

    For those looking for great golf at a reasonable price in LA, introduce your followers to our local public George C. Thomas courses. The same guy who brought us Riviera, Bel Air, LA North, also designed the very accessible public Harding, Wilson and Ojai. These 1920s courses relied more on nature than bull dossers. I believe Old Tom Morris liked his designs.
