Potentially the best adventures in golf episode. More than a few “my allergies are crying” moments
Same man same
I'm in my sealed, air conditioned apartment experiencing those same allergies. So incredible.
The feeling is mutual! We have a lot of mean trees here in Texas!
Yeah those damn allergies will get you. Weird how they come along when watching something like this right?
Portland one was the best, tennis ball golf, random people bound by sports, it’s almost free to play, most relatable, it’s like tapeball cricket
Erik is the Anthony Bourdain of golf, experiencing the sport and it’s characters on behalf of all of us. This episode was so incredibly touching.
Here here!!
eh, its too bad he has been called out for being an asshole in real life, but this video makes me think otherwise. internet trolls or something
This is extremely accurate
Phenomenal analogy👍⛳️
Between Bourdain and "you should do Netflix documentaries," every single episode I've seen so far says these two comments
that "thank you" at 16:15 hit me hard, it's so significant and you can feel how much it's taken from him to get to this point
Same here. Really touching!!
This is one of the greatest films I've ever seen. Inspiring is an understatement.
Erik this is by far the best Adventures in Golf episode to date. It really embodies not just what golf is all about, but what being human is about. Thank you.
PULITZER NEEDS TO CONSIDER THIS SERIES. The fact there isn't a digital or documentary journalism category is sad Beautiful journalism beautiful stories, thank you Erik and Skratch team for putting together such a beautiful masterpiece of documentary journalism. The presentation and cinematography is beautiful. The content is dynamite. Thank you.
Why are you worried about awards? Is that why this guy makes videos?

@@TheJgrimm it's even more strange that YOU are concerned with him getting a piece of paper and a pat on the back. Not every good thing needs to be in the sunlight.
@@samhowl1152 This is such a trash anarchist take.
@@TheJgrimm no, if anything it's nihilist. Anarchy had to do with going against governments.
Made me emotional… You could see what it did to Erik as well.. The pain he felt and the joy all at the same time.. 🙏🏼
As someone who is blind in one eye. This was fascinating. I am grateful for this game and seeing others who have the same type of story as me is amazing. Thanks Adventures in Golf!
I can only use one hand and I play disc golf and the video only pushes me to want to do better as well. Much love brother. You aren't alone.
So happy this series is back. Soul food.
I’ve always loved Eric but this gave me a new found respect and admiration for you man. Fucking thank you for being such an incredible person truly. You make the world of golf a better place as well.
Life is all about perspective. Everything looks a little sweeter after watching this.
Roger that!
This not a story about a blind man but the bond of a father and a son through the beautiful game of golf. This is what life is all about. As are the other stories in this. People help each other. We are all in this together.
This piece gave me goosebumps. I have an Aunt that is partially blind. I am going to share this with her and see if she will play golf with me. Great piece Erik and crew.
this episode was awesome. You could really see the emotion EAL was having in his mind. He really put it all out there, put himself in someone else shoes, someone who loves the same game. Right in the feels
No wayyyyy, I’ve met “blind doc” when I was a cart guy at Brentwood Country Club and actually walked him down to the pro shop so he could get to his lesson. Crazy to see him and BCC on this series
Good to see Adventures in Golf back
It's truly unbelievable the people that you meet. Without you, we would never know these people exist. People, despite, their abilities, love and want to play the game. These stories TRULY are the best things I've ever seen for the sport. just unreal. period.
I don’t think I’ve cried in a year until now dude. This was such an incredible film
Inspiring and thank you for honoring all of us blind golfers. It's very difficult to play this game being legally blind like I am. I can't even imagine people who are totally blind that can do it. Im grateful for what sight I have, it's truly a gift and that's how I (and others) need to see it. It's so easy to be negative in life and focus on the darkness because it really is everywhere and always lurking readily to creep into your mind. You really do have to fight it and one thing I've learned is that it's an active fight. It never really goes away and happiness is truly a choice. It doesn't just fall into your lap. You gotta really want it!!
So despite all the ups and downs I have faced in life, and in Golf, I play on. I do it for myself and more importantly I do it for those less fortunate than me. I do it because it makes me happy amd isn't that what life is all about?
Oh and I almost forgot to mention here I have recently started a RUclips channel and it's about well many different things but one of those thing is my journey to be the best Golfer I can possibly be while being blind.
My goal is a scratch level someday or possibly better.
A tall order I know being blind but hey we gotta try in life right?
Anyways its called "Through Blind Eyes" so if you wanna check it out amd give me a follow or whatever strikes your fancy I would absolutely appreciate it.
It's brand new so I only have 1 video up and I'm in the very tedious process of editing my second and I have about 5 or 6 others behind that. The next video scheduled to be uploaded is my adventures at TPC Sawgrass. I got my butt kicked but it was fun! 🤣
Aright guys take care and stay believing in yourselves and each other
Play on guys, play on... ⛳ 😊👍
That took courage, man. A large part of my family (cousins, mom, wife, aunt) are visually impaired or legally blind. As a sighted person, I unintentionally take for granted things that my family members have never had. I’ve never once considered the game of golf to be one of those things. And I’ll forever look at golf differently. Figuratively, and literally. I’m touched, man. Seriously. I mean that. Thank you.
“It all looks a little sweeter” - thank you guys for doing this episode, I’m not blind but man you saved me by showing me a different perspective.
Wow, what a film. "Adventures in Golf" is one of the most impactful pieces of golf journalism out there. Cannnot be touched by professional coverage or generic youtube content. Imitated but never replicated, this series is the one of the very few things that approaches a true insight toward what golf means to those who pursue it.
My favorite episode by far. EAL took an incredible story and immersed himself in it with the utmost respect and openness. What a trio of men featured in this episode.
Haven’t teared up like that in a while. Thanks EAL for a moving piece.
Me too. 😢
I have been watching this show for all 6 seasons, Erik, you and the crew have really made something special for the rest of us to enjoy. I hope this show goes on for as many seasons as you all can film for. I forget about this show for a few months at a time, and then become captivated by an episode in my recommended and watch all the ones I have missed. Thank you for this real content in a world full of fake and misguided creators.
I picked up golf about 7 years ago, got diagnosed with RP (Doc's condition) a little more than a year ago. I have never needed to see a video more than this one right here. So unfathomably inspiring. Today, my vision, while not good, is still full, I can live a "normal" life. One day that will go away, and I've struggled dealing with that reality ever since my diagnosis, but seeing this and hearing Doc's story has put such warmth in my heart. I won't ever have to give up this game I love, I will adapt and it will be different but I will still be on the course hitting balls with people I care about.I just really can't describe how awesome this video was. Made me tear up hearing EAL try to describe what he was feeling with the mask on, such a powerful experience. Thank you Erik, truly.
Yo.... I just gained respect for you in a fresh way. You are the best golf journalist in the world bro. You truly immersed yourself in all versions of the game and embrace the game we all enjoy. Thank you, sir. I almost cried watching this episode.
Very appreciative of this episodes voice and it really hit it home for me. It reminded me of golfing with my Grandfather as he went through severe macular degeneration from ages 63 to 91. We still golfed almost every weekend as his condition got noticeably worse year after year, but never stopped him. He made it work as he did with everything. Man never used a cart, absolutely loved golf, walking the course and always carried his own clubs. He'd always say "appreciate your shot and make them count". I carry those very words outside the game as it stuck. We kept golfing until his passing and I will miss that man, his character, his words, far beyond forever.
This has to be the most meaningful "Adventures in Golf" episode ever. And I've seen them all. Thanks EAL.
Came for the golf and after 15 mins in I didn't care about the golf. Inspiring stuff and I'm glad EAL made this vid
Wow. This was an insanely emotional episode. I have my sight but when Erik talked about the first ten seconds in a blindfold it was heavy. Good work guys.
Oh I love that subtle touch when you put on the mask the screen goes black and all the sounds of course come through really loud and clear. What an awesome way for us to feel the sensation of the other senses compensating for the lack of another.
This video is one of many reasons to love golf. It can be a very inclusive game and accessible to almost anyone, including the blind.
Some people want to change the world, this man is BEING the change in the world. Thank you for opening my eyes to the power of golf and how it can bring so many characters from different avenues in life together❤❤.
Every Septermber I hope the Adventure continues. Excited to see it back for a 6th season, and hope many more down the road. Great story right from the start!
I pretty much cried through the whole thing. A good cry. Thank you Erik.
Just when I think AIG already explored everything that they could, they never cease to wow me with a new experience/adventure
I will say that these videos ARE the best golf videos that you can find anywhere. Truly works of art. Please keep more coming!
I am an ophthalmologist. This is incredible. Jeremy has the swing we all dream of. Unreal story
Gives us so much perspective into the world of blind golfers. Thank you for this episode.
Very emotional video made me appreciate life in a different way one of the best episodes i have seen
Erik. Thank you! and Doc and Jeremy for sharing with us!
I think we sighted people have a lot to be grateful for and we don't appreciate the world enough.
There are some amazing people on this planet that get on with life no matter what it deals them.
A story told brilliantly.
Erik getting right back into it and giving us unique golf stories from different perspectives. Love it and can't wait for the new episodes to come!
26 minutes long! We're back and longer than ever. Awesome!
This at the end was very emotional. My best friend is blind and used to play golf before he lost his sight. I'd like for him to try playing.
Erik's contents on here or on RGC are heads and shoulders above anyone else. Thank you so much for bringing us all these amazing videos and introducing us to all these amazing people Erik!
Became quite emotional in the last couple of minutes. Fantastic film. One of the best AIG episodes ever
That is the best episode I’ve ever watched. I’m in tears from this experience. Thank you Eric
My mother worked with the blind for 28 + years. I appreciate this story and can’t wait for her to watch. Thank you another great tail.
My Admiration go to the 2 coaches, the lady and gentleman who were so kindly and even compassionately assisting the 2 blinded golfers finding their path and their foothold in this world.
Thank YOU very much for your dedication.
Great video! My cousin has his first blind tourney in Orlando this month…..he is SUPER excited that he found golf born legally blind. Thanks for opening our eyes
I’m never really at a loss for words when it comes to golf but, this left me speechless and a little emotional. You have my respect and a new follower
Best golf content I’ve seen in a while. Love this episode
Wow. Absolutely phenomenal episode. The growth from season 1 to now is something you and your team should be proud of!!! Thank you Erik
That was truly uplifting and genuine thanks eric, as always well presented and authentic
This is my absolute favourite episode. Truly humbling and truly gave perspective. Bravo
This episode brought tears to my eye. It taught me not to take the abilities that I have for granted. Thanks for this Skratch, Adventures in Golf and the hole team for this one!
This is quite possibly the best journalism I have ever experienced. Extremely inspiring to hear these gentleman’s stories, as well as Erik’s experience playing without sight. Greatest game on Earth. Well done and thank you, Erik!
Thank you for bringing tears into my eyes
Easily one of the best episodes yet. Unbelievable perspective and thought provoking content. I am blown away right now. I love this game.
This is as inspirational as it gets. Unbelievable stories and huge respect for the way they were captured.
What a pleasant surprise to see this series pop up on my feed again
Wow, i am so moved and inspired by this episode. I was already a fan of this show, but you just stepped it up so big. Thank you!!
Wow, what an emotional opening episode. Heartbreaking and inspirational at the same time. I’m glad these two men and the many other blind golfers have found the will to play.
Jeremy and Chad have better swings than me. Great stuff 👍👍
Has to be one of the most emotional journeys of golf I’ve ever seen! I could literally hear in your voice the sense of remorse and true feeling of the near helplessness the blind have on the daily let alone a golf shot! Really emotional episode for sure
Wow what an episode. Really respectful and great insight and helps me appreciate not only blind golfers but blind people in general
One of the Best episodes i had the pleasure to watch. i was taken back with emotion watching the struggles of both golfers with there game and everday life. i cant imagine the emotions you went through filming this,then having to narrate it as well. Thank you Erik for this..... A fan for life
Thank you so much for this episode Eric. Very inspiring and puts the obstacles I face in life and in my golf journey in perspective. It's fascinating to me how experiencing loss, even vicariously, can put you in contact with so much hope and beauty.
More people need to watch this!!! Don’t take anything for granted my friends
This is seriously amazing content. Had me in tears and smiling at the same time
I think I'd become obsessed with hearing people's voices and touching people if I was blind, just as a source of comfort.
This episode was heavy. Thank you for sharing your experience with these incredible people with all of us.
What an episode. Hats off to you Erik and the entire Blind golf community. Really inspiring stuff.
This is absolutely amazing. By far the best episode of all time. Amazing
This is absolutely amazing!! Being a new golfer myself that can see, going through the struggles of learning all those bad shots don’t seem so bad anymore. I’m blown away by this and have even more respect for the blind. Thank you for this.
never seen a video like that, from a golfer one of the best video ever seen, sometimes u feel unlucky for stupid things and forgetting just see something is a lucky that a lot people don't have.
Thank you for sharing this moment with us and giving us a new understanding of "handicap" in our sport and life.
What a great start to Season 6, inspiring story, as ever very, well told.
Bless these guys. True inspirations
Goosebumps. It's about so much more than just golf. It's about what makes us human. Thank you for this.
One of the best videos ever made on RUclips. Thank you Eric, very touching for all of us.
Erik, just when I think you, and your crew, can't top the last episode, you then blow my mind with the next one. Thank you for making golf more and more a metaphor about life. Congrats on season six! I can't wait for the adventure to continue.
Absolutely mind blowing episode. Beautiful. Touching. Thank you so much for your work!
What an amazing story. Thank you for sharing their lives with us.
This episode was a amazing trip. Thank you for sharing the experience.
What an awesome video. The perspective and positivity they have is mind-blowing!
Absolutely the best episode to date.
Thanks Adventures in Golf. This was incredible.
You're definitely one of the most understanding and passionate people in the world of golf. It's about time we got a long episode of AIG. Best one yet man, I cant wait for the next one
Yet another of your adventures that has me emotional, well done for showing us another side of golf and the people who play it :)
This is one of the best content i have seen on youtube. It uplifts the human spirit. No matter what your handicap maybe in life there is hope. And it is even better that the greatest game men has ever invented was used as a medium. Thank you.
My favorite episode. Thank you
So inspiring to meet Chad and Erik while they were in TN for this! What an awesome story!
Erik, this is such amazing storytelling that goes well beyond the game of golf. Absolutely wonderful episode. Well done.
What an inspiration! My grandfather passed away a few year ago now, my best memories were playing golf with him…. Also he was blind as well and I watched him make a 2 on a par 5! Nothing is impossible! Keep up the amazing and inspirational content!
Fantastic episode. I was at the RGC meetup right after this was filmed, so I knew this episode was coming, but it's even better than I anticipated. The stories of both men are truly inspirational, and the heartfelt way they've been presented here gives them the weight they deserve. Keep up the good work!
Hands down the best episode ever. Thanks for sharing that episode with everyone. Gives me a whole new view of golf.
Very touching and refreshing episode. Thank you for reminding folks like me just how truly blessed we are to have something as simple as our vision, etc. I hope I “see” things a little better tomorrow morning. You’re a good dude, EAL.
