The Erik Anders Lang Show: Golf - Travel - Comedy

RGC Radioredcircle.com

Hi! I'm Erik and I'm the co-founder and CEO of Random Golf Club, a global community of local golfers. Welcome to my completely unedited and off the cuff golf podcast! Each week I seek to uncover the stories of WHY we golf, not necessarily HOW we golf. NO SWING TIPS HERE. Listen in on Mondays for a mix of my musings, stream of consciousness golf inspired rants by yours truly, listener questions and a look into the life of this golf-crazed, travel-addicted and sleep-deprived journalist, plus interviews with golf inspired guests -- PGA Tour and LPGA players, actors, architects, coaches, authors and inspirational people from all corners of the golf world. Enjoy!
