Blasts from the past.

Reading the thread about the future of Golf and what seems a lack of memory of The Golf Channel I wonder what else is no longer known amonst Golfers here.

What is your "blast from the past"?

I'll start. Anyone remember Eric Sykes and 'Rhubarb, Rhubarb'. I was surprised to see copies are available on Amazon.

Pro Celebrity Golf & A Round with Alliss!!!

Lyth, forgive my naivety, but the Golf Channel you're referring to, is that the one shown in the States on US tv, or did we have on over here? On the future of golf thread, I was trying to get at what a UK based golf channel's benefits would be.

The smell of a brand new Penfold Commando!

Unwrapping a Dunlop 65

Quick rounds!!

A round with Alliss was great, I thoroughly enjoyed that show. There was also one with Tim Brooke-Taylor, he of the Goodies which I also found highly entertaining. Apart from The Open and highlights of The Masters there is not enough golf on terrestrial TV in my opinion

Around with Alliss. Used to watch that even before I ever picked up a club. He's getting on a bit now. What about bringing it back with Chris evens doing the chat. Dave CAC handed Geordie.

You can still watch the golf channel online. I remember watching quite a few programmes on here, used to be free on Setanta! Big Break is the programme I miss watching on TV. Still available to watch online, or connect your PC to the TV

Chris,

The Golf Channel UK, which started life as 'Golf TV' (I'm a member of the Founders Club) was beemed from the Golf Channels Orlando Studeo and had a number of UK programmes too. Mike Reid and Tim Brooke-Taylor toured UK venues and 'Big Break' was popular, specially the ladies. Dana Lacey is doing OK, but where are Ashleigh Prange, Becky Lusardi (sp?) and the others.

Pro Celebrity Golf (I think) with Peter Aliss, Lee Trevino and Seve (?). Used to occasionally stay up late to watch it and loved it. Would be great to do a new one, as lon as they didn't have any professional footballers as the celebrities!!
