RRP: £19.99
Produced by: Green Umbrella

Written and narrated by Ian Wooldridge, one of Britain's principal observers of sport, the Open Century reveals the intricate tapestry of the personalities that contributed to a tournament that is so rich in its history and tradition, yet conjures up such great sporting drama.

This fascinating documentary uses historical footage to look at the descendents of the game. It reveals the game as it was in a period when telecommunications and world travel were science fiction stories.

The impact of the change in society on the

championships and how they have evolved through the one hundred years is captured by the recollections of the great champions, such as Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, Max Faulkner, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Seve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo.

The Open Century is a true passage through time of the world's oldest and greatest sporting championships.
