Veteran sportscaster Jim McKay narrates this three-part series on the history of golf and takes us on a journey from its humble beginnings to the multinational, multimillion-dollar franchise that it is today.
Volume 1, The Early Years, examines golf's mysterious and almost mythical beginnings, with commentary and speculation from some of today's top historians of the sport. Beginning with early stick-and-ball games, the episode delves into the history of the equipment and early evolution of the game. We are given great insight into the types of clubs and balls used and hear the stories of long-ago golf legends such as Tom Morris, Charles Macdonald, and Harry Vardon, the sport's first superstar spokesman and commercial endorser.
The second chapter, Golf Comes of Age, introduces us to the growth of the game in America. The beginning of serious tournament play, along with ever-changing technology, created more of an audience for the sport. Golf stars such as Sam Snead and Ben Hogan revitalized the game, and the overwhelming support of women's participation was only pushed forward with the founding of the Ladies Professional Golf Association and the rise of Babe Zaharias.
The Modern Game is the third and final installment of the series, and it follows golf into the television age, right up through the triumphs of Tiger Woods. With Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus taking the reigns, golf evolved from a pastime into an industry. Golfers became course designers, and the sport found its biggest audience ever.
The Story of Golf is a definitive history of a grand sport and instills in any viewer an intense attitude toward the game. As both education and entertainment, this three-tape set hits a hole in one. --Zachary Lively

I bought this dvd for my dad to watch while he recovered from knee surgery. As a golf fanatic, I was afraid he may already know everything there is to know about golf. He said the dvd is great, and provided him with all sorts of new, interesting information.

This video covers a wide scope for golf history. From how to make a feather golf ball to golf course. Golfers can make use of the contents to test other colleagues. One point to be criticized is that there is little to link with Tiger Woods (...) (actually it is Narr. by Jim Mckey). There is only one chapter mentioned Tiger but it also mentioned other great golfers, in similar manner. That's why one star has been eliminated. Dear Tiger fans, please note.

The Story of Golf is an amazing journey that traces the beginnings of golf through today's game as we know it. It is beautifully shot and edited and you'll love Jim McKay's narration. This is a must have for golfers of any age. Bravo !
