Celebrity Golf

Celebrity Golf with Sam Snead was great for it's time. Only 30 minutes in length, made it one golf show then that could NOT be boring even to non golf fans and to see the celebrities that golfed back then is amazing to watch.

Not ALL of the matches were filmed at the Lakeside Country Club, some were filmed at the Woodland Hills Country Club , The Desert Inn Country Club and others. Also, Sam did NOT win every match either.

Harry Von Zell mad a great Announcer, Even if it was a over dubbed job on his commentary and on the Sound effects.

For the time and now it's a fun show to watch.

Great golf from years gone by. Not only fun to watch the golfers but watch the crowds, surroundings, cars and other 1960's era stuff. No high-tech graphics or Shot-links distances here - just a man standing at a cardboard sign of the hole with a pointer showing ball positions. Some of the celebrity "golfers" were better celebrities than golfers but some others were actually very good (or at least their handicaps were!). I have been luck enough to play the courses they filmed some of the episodes and I have to tell you the mountains and courses have not changed much but the clothing, golf clubs, balls and golf carts sure have...people used to get "dressed up" to go watch golfers....nothing like today's fans.

Wish I could buy the whole series on DVD somewhere. Anyone know where I can get one?
