For the Marley Trophy Former Open champion
Johnny Miller and Britain's leading player Nick Faldo are joined by celebrity partners in a matchplay format over nine holes of the Ailsa course at Turnberry. Today: Sean Connery and Bruce Forsyth , two 'old stayers' at this game, are in opposition.
Interesting to see Nick Faldo before his swing changes. I used to love watching pro-celebrity golf on the BBC along with "A round with Alliss" back in the day. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks for the upload, I watched one and enjoying the rest, this format needs to be revived in both US and UK. Watching this at 7:30 am reminds me of watching the Open Championship live in Canada back then, usually with blustery conditions
Great childhood memories of these, my dad (RIP) used to love watching this
Sadly the eight I have uploaded are the only ones I have.
These were shown on ESPN classis years ago and as far as I know these were the only ones shown. Maybe the Beeb will show them again one day instead of constant repeats of crap in the attic and sodding bargin hunt!
Totally agree with you my friend but sadly they would rather spend our license money on rubbish like what you suggested and the frigen endless cooking programs.
Unfortunately I think a lot of those programs were nt kept on tape ...such a pity ..I used to love watching back in the day RIP Peter Alliss Sean Connery and Bruce Forsyth
It's the complex rights issues which stop these being repeated on Beeb. The show was a joint production with Mark McCormacks IMG group hence why the show could lure with a substantial appearance fee and perks so many golfing greats in their prime to appear - not least some great celebrities too - especially in the shows earlier years. I can imagine to renegotiate repeat fees with some of the golfers or their estates and each and every single celebrity would be a complete ballache to say the least - or quite an expensive one in relation to potential viewing figures.
Thanks so much for these items used to love watching even though they were 20 years before I started to play,do you remember the repeats,one a day over Christmas holidays?
Neil, thanks so much for uploading these! Great to see them again.
Love this.. Beautiful memories, men and heroes who shaped my life.. thank you so much!
Many thanks for such a great upload Neil,golfing gold!
I always used to 'book' the telly for these and loved watching the professionals,the amateurs like Tarby and Forsyth were a pain in the backside and who needs comedians when you have Lee Trevino?
Connery's swing really improved over the course of the filming of these matches.
Nick Faldo went to Henry Cotton at Penina. Henry told him to stabilise his leg action - no knee slide. Nick then was titorrd by David Leadbetter who taught him along the same lines. And the rest, 6 Majors, is history.
Thank you so much for uploading these Neil 👍🏻👍🏻🤗
Thanks went to a few of these at Turnberry
BF a 10? I don't think so.
I would just like to ask have you anymore of these that you intend to upload because I will look forward to watching these if you have.
A championship links course in the wind 🍃 almost impossible to play, absolutely love the video, I've been in the same position many times, and it's tough 🙄
It still amazes me that golf took hold as strong as it did in a place with such short summers and really foul weather possible everyday of the year. It shows how passionate we've always been about the game
Sean Connery is a tough competitor.
Thanks
Brilliant....& at 27:30 Peter predicts the Trump par 3 by the lighthouse👍
I've just got to comment on this YOU'VE MADE MY FUCKING DAY.Thanks I've been waiting for someone to put these on for ages
Especially bearing in mind Bruce played at Wentworth, how did he play off 10?
Fantastic show absolutely loved watching it, they do say that playing with Forsyth was not a great experience bit of a wanker 😜
😂😂This Canadian is not familiar with him, what was his career? If he is 10 hdcp I am a 2
Par three dream. It is now. R.I.P. Peter
Who was Forsyth trying to kid with a 10 handicap….18 hacker at best, every time I watched him on this series he was always all over the place!
Wonder what Bryson would think to Persimmon woods
Stableford not Stapleford
Miller was a jerk even back then....but thanks for uploading this, James Bond at Turnberry....finally got to see Sean play. Always heard he was a golf fanatic.
A jerk in what way?
007 style !
tutored
When golf was proper....
