  • Playing golf while overlooking of one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World was the goal of this Adventures In Golf, presented by United.
    While Erik Anders Lang wasn’t able to play Mena House, Cairo’s most famous course with the Giza pyramids in sight, he was able to check out two other sweet tracks during his trip - Egypt’s oldest and newest courses.
    Gezira Sporting Club has been a mainstay in Egypt for more than a century. Followed up with Newgiza, which opened in 2018 and you can see the pyramids while you play - most notably on a truly gnarly par-3 with a 80-foot drop to the green.

    9:04 is not enough. This needs to be a 30 min Netflix show with a full budget.

    Love the series. Have to say they feel like a step back from the previous seasons though. Shorter, less adventures, and more just traveling to places that don’t have a lot of golf courses, hitting a couple shots, and then moving on.

      I agree, I absolutely love the series, but I miss more those blue collar episodes...that showcase how golf is evolving...from the slums of India, street golf in Portland, to farmers setting up courses in there backyard free for people to play.

      Brother Dunne yeah I just kinda feel it lost some of what made it great. Like last episode they didn’t play a course cause they had a flight to catch. Old seasons had no timeline, just an adventure.

      I agree, too. The earlier episodes were quirkier and more interesting, in my opinion. The episodes so far this season have been underwhelming. Still good, but not the same. @@21Swayzee

    8:08 I think he says “to engrave” which sounds more poetic and relates to his point about the course being a work of art

    The “public” vs “private” is not understood outside anglo saxon world in the same way. Public and private regards ownership, being “public” understood as state-owned, and “private” owned by private entities/individuals. For example in my country (Portugal) no course is closed to the public.

    New Giza is the best course in Egypt, and up until this summer (shoutout Laguna Lang Co in Vietnam) was my favorite course I'd ever played. Unfortunately, Gezira is probably the worst course in the country and you should have skipped that one entirely.

    There's no public golf courses in Cairo. People who aren't members can purchase a ticket and play. So it's public?!?! Erik's tone of voice was priceless. You can tell he wanted to school her so bad and explain the concept further, but he held back.
