The Magnificent Eight - St. Andrews
RRP: £12.99
Produced by: Green Umbrella

Of all the eight venues on the Open rota, there is no golf links or town to rival St. Andrews.

Golf was invented at St. Andrews and has been played on the Old Course for six centuries. During that time, all of the game's great players have stepped across the Swilken bridge on the 18th hole to aproach the famous clubhouse of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.

This 52 minute film plots the evolution of the links at St. Andrews adn therefore the game itself and recounts some of the tales which mkae up part of the legend. It also looks at the

history of the Open Championship played through the eyes of the people who live in the town and includes interviews with Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Peter Thomson who themselves become part of the folklore which surrounds the most famous golfing venue on earth.
