Welcome to Marfa, a remote, rugged and unexpectedly trendy Texas town with an artistic side. While Marfa has become famous for its high-end art exhibits, notably by the minimalist artist Donald Judd, there's also a 9-hole golf course with an interesting backstory.
Marfa Municipal has the distinction of being the highest golf course in Texas, but here's the kicker; this desert course is ran entirely by TWO guys - Ernest, who oversees the Marfa muni operation, and Mario, who maintains the land.
On this Adventures In Golf, presented by United Airlines, Erik Anders Lang meets the staff of two, as well as three Marfa municipal members to see what the course has meant to them.
Lastly, it wouldn't be a trip to Marfa without trying to get a glimpse of the famous Marfa Lights. Erik tries his luck but we can neither confirm nor deny what he saw.

Erik, this season really hits home. Growing up and now currently living in a farm town of 1700, this really brings lights to some finest forms of people. Creating our own industry and living off the land is still something many of us take great pride in. The sense of community Marfa shares carries familiarity. Thank you and your team for this gem.

I came to YT looking for meaning of words like 'Birdie' and 'Eagle', and stumbled upon AIG. And now I'm all into golf, have signed up for golf training, soon will be buying my own kit and joining a course.

Erik and team, golf is always the centerpiece, but this episode reminds me that the brilliance of this show is that you always look for the people and stories that are behind the golf and then bring it back to how a real one-of-a-kind experience doesn’t happen without them. These are my favorite episodes

If you tried to find the most unique story that is far, far off the modern world map, you would still have to travel 3 hours to get the Marfa.. Truly wonderful storytelling EAL. Your series highlights the "good" that is inherent within people and that is why your VLOG's are works of Art. I am excited before I click the play button every time, because I can't wait to be immersed within the local culture, personal stories and the history which you bring to life so vividly. Thank you EAL and to your talented team. Cheers!
