  • Gazelles and Giraffes and Warthogs, oh my! Africa is the next stop on this animal-filled Adventures In Golf, presented by United. Erik travels to Hans Merensky Hotel and Spa in Phalaborwa, South Africa bordering Kruger National Park, to play a golf course that lets the wildlife roam free.
    The main rule of safari golf is you shouldn’t be on the course at dusk. Guess where Erik finds himself at dusk… Thankfully, no Eriks were harmed in the making of this episode, and the payoff is pretty sweet.

    The intro is BOSS, different swing from a different place, class 👌🏻
    "I'm gonna give myself a par on every hole" so that will be 72, or It be 71 😂😂😂😂 in bits.

    Thank you so much for this Anders. This is the place I started playing golf, I was stationed at the military base close by and this is where we spent our sports pass time. By the way, they used to charge us 50c (South African) to play. Spent many a time watching hippo and crocs on the 17th. Now I am in the UK and on my local course the wildlife (apart from the members) consists of Geese, Squirrels and the occasional Deer.

      Seems to me more like the AiG team just came too soon. It's the weather that makes the course hard to keep up, not the people working there. South Africa can't control the weather, but Eric and the rest of the team could have just waited a couple weeks to come.

    I love it when the European Tour visit Leopard Creek which also borders the Kruger National Park. One green next to the river is much higher than the river and the players look out and there are elephants, hippos, crocs, giraffes etc down below them. Obviously there are leopards too but they tend not to be there during the day. Its a beautiful tournament to watch but that course is not on my bucket list !! Great film Erik & Stu, what an experience

    Man I love golf, I’m not any good haha I played 9 holes today in 50. It was such a great time tho, even a terrible round has some really fun shots to be had. A few horrible shots and a few that really made me smile, golf really is a great way to spend your day. Out in nature chasing that beautiful shot, a great part of life. Love the show Erik, much appreciated 🙏🙏

      @marinusjansevanrensburg3864 4 года назад +3

      No ways, they have a bunch of golf courses that are very similar to Steyn City all over the world. The only interesting thing about it, is the elevation changes. Other than that, Steyn City is pretty generic. Don't get me wrong though, it is a lovely course, but it's nothing special really.

    • @Tlhakxza
      @Tlhakxza 4 года назад

      Bru Steyn City,Serengeti are similar really,except for the luscious all season green laws.
      I was told pretty much all courses in the US have similar turf and scenery.
      Courses like Merensky,Leopard Creek, and a bit of Sun/Lost City offer something of a different feel altogether.
      On the lighter side, I’ll take you on at Steyn,Serengeti,Copperleaf,Eye Of Africa and Ebotse any day bru😉👊🏿

    @edwardgibstein8449 4 года назад

    Very cool-too bad the course cannot be kept in real playable condition. Love the putt you hit, watching it hit little pebbles or..something. Funnier not retrieving the ball from the "hole". Who could blame you. I would love to go there just to see the animals. No question most dangerous would be hippos and/ or crocs. I have encountered crocs(yes crocs not gators)on the courses in Cancun, Mexico. It's amazing how white their teeth were, as when basking in the sun they often do so with the mouths agape. First time checking out this YT channel. BTW-nice swing-you obviously are a very good player.
