The game of golf has changed a great deal since the turn of the 20th century but one thing which has not altered is the manner in which it affects the lives of all its adherents. Golf is much more than a game for countless millions of golfers all over the world. It has become a passion. A magnificent obsession which transcends the boundaries of most other sports and which comes to dominate all our lives.
Within Century of Golf, former European Ryder Cup captain, Bernard Gallacher, charts the development of the game from its earliest beginnings on the eastern seaboard of Scotland right through to the present day.
With the use of race archive footage the DVD recalls the great players of the past - Harry Varden, Bobby Jones, Henry Cotton, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead amongst them - before advancing throughto the current giants spearheaded by Major winner Tiger Woods and 'El Nino' Sergio Garcia, via the epic rivalry between Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player which sparked the boom era of golf.
Featuring exclusive interviews with many of the greats and extended swing analysis of the great players by 'Doctor Golf' John Jacobs, the video also captures the great moments from the Century that have inspired us all. From the intense Ryder Cup rivalry to the epic Watson and Nicklaus Open duels, from Henry Cotton's Open to John Daly at Crooked Stick, and from Sandy Lyle's bunker shot to Sergio Garcia's shot of the Century, it is all on this unmissable DVD.
