A game that was once practiced by a few privileged folk developed into a worldwide phenomenon during the 20th century. As members of the public clamoured to get out onto the green, sink a tee into the ground, and see who could be the first competitor to win the game, golf courses seemed to spring up everywhere in order to satisfy demand. This documentary charters the rise and rise of the game, from primitive attempts at whacking a ball around via hickory sticks, to golf clubs that are designed by computer to optimize performance. A great way to learn about the popular sport, GOLF - THE GAME THAT DEFINED A CENTURY 1900-1999 is a fascinating guide to the history of the game.
