The Origin Story
Erik Anders Lang is a filmmaker and the founder of Random Golf Club, a global community on a mission to connect golfers around the world.
Behind the Camera
Lang started as a photographer in New York before moving to Los Angeles to make documentaries, music videos, and commercials. In 2009 his brother introduced him to golf. "Nothing in my life captivated me the way golf did and still does," he has said.
Adventures in Golf
Lang turned his camera on the game, making Be the Ball, a documentary about golf and meditation, and hosting Adventures in Golf, a series that took him around the world to meet the courses and the people who play them.
A Club for Everyone
When Lang joined a private club in Los Angeles, he found that "the course was nice and the people were nice, but they weren't my people." He canceled his membership and set out to build a club that welcomes everyone and plays publicly around the world. That became Random Golf Club, which he brought to Austin in 2020.
