Adventures in Golf is an awesome series, a breath of fresh air compared to other golf/travel shows. Love the lighter approach, production and music selection, can see this being a hit with younger followers. And Erik, hilarious and fun to watch, perfect personality for the show! I've watched each episode at least twice and shared with all my golf buddies, hopefully there are more in the making. Thank you and keep up the amazing work Skratch TV!

I use to play this in college on campus. We called it golfis! Only differences would be that concrete played as a water hazard and either hitting the target directly or ending up within a club length away from the target scored. Fun game and if people didn't want to dig up the neighborhood simply play Tennis Golf which was played with a racket instead of clubs.

@@nicolagraves5275 I know this is from 2 years ago. But if you're still out there - It's not free when you dent someones car or destroy property for that person. Literally, saw examples of it in this video the one time he played the game. Also, I'm not a big law stiff - but public intoxication and destruction of property, literal laws. The fact people on here are so brainwashed to believe that, in no way, does this reckless bullshit affect others goods is insane.
