Golfweek, the premier news source among golf enthusiasts, presents Golf: The Game That Defined A Century, a fascinating DVD retrospective of the people, places, and events that have shaped golf from 1900 to 1999. From the evolution of golf equipment, to the impact of golf on television, to the battles for gender and racial equal access to country clubs and public courses, Golf: The Game That Defined A Century explores the intersection of a beloved pastime and the advance of history. Narrated by Charlie Jones, Golf: The Game That Defined A Century visits pivotal people and places in the continuing evolution of golf from a rich man's hobby to the widely popular leisure and professional sport it is today. Approx. 2 hours 15 min., color.

My general feeling after watching the content of this dvd was of satisfaction, i got my money's worth for what this dvd left me with.

The journey you take trough the HISTORY OF GOLF is well documented and carefully "chosen" so no big "event" is missing.

The only downpoint of this dvd (and the reason i do not give it the 5 stars) is that there is not a quality MENU to work with, no diferent languages, audio options or subtitles.

This dvd has (as a "plus") a "section" (that is the only other choise you have at the menu) where you get "instruction" as how to swing with what they call : "follow trough" , i think this material could be of some use.

I recomend this dvd.

Good film if you want to learn some history of the game. Great for new golfer.
