The outsider became an insider and it all went downhill
When I first heard Erik on another podcast a few years ago, I was intrigued. He was a golf outsider who was genuine and curious. I told all my friends and co-workers about his show Adventures in Golf. It was great seeing golf brought back to the common man/woman and hear the stories that reminded us we are all essentially outsiders playing this great game. Yet, over the years, I’ve seen Erik become part of the clique. He schmoozes with the PGA Tour pros and golf social media influencers. His posse shows up with an attitude that they’re edgier, anti-establishment, and going to shake up golf media with their LA culture. It’s all overdone and I feel like Erik has lost his identity. All his videos have the same look, drone shot after drone shot and telling us how little sleep he’s gotten because of the many flights he’s taken in the last month. It feels like he’s more concerned with checking off every country on his personal list rather than connecting with stories and people (do it for the gram). I was especially turned off when he had Kevin Chapell on the show and asked him how he felt about men’s only clubs. Chapell replied, “sometimes it’s nice to say, no you can’t come.” Erik preaches equality, especially when it comes to women on his podcast, yet he didn’t question Chappel’s comment. That and the comments trashing Golf Channel after hundreds of employees were laid off left a bad taste in my mouth. Erik is no longer the guy I respect, and because of that, I’m out ✌🏻

More reviews of The Erik Anders Lang Show
Erik is what golf has been missing. His passion for the game and film has allowed us to see a side of the game that you wont get to see on your weekend PGA major network coverage.

I stumbled across this podcast after watching Adventures in Golf and then going through Erik’s Instagram. Everything he does is nothing short of inspiring. What Erik does is what will grow the great game of golf around the world.
