This five-part documentary brings to life the complete, rich history of the game, from its earliest forms in medieval Europe and China to the development of modern, televised play. Hosted by Golf Channel personality and noted golf historian Rich Lerner, it delves into golf's history with rare and vintage film, and features pristine footage of some of the world's most breathtaking and famous courses. The comprehensive history weaves through a framework of memorable moments, heroic performances, important advances in equipment, major changes in golf course architecture and landmark revisions to the rules. The story also includes behind-the-scenes accounts and intimate profiles of golf's greatest players, from Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan and Babe Didrikson Zaharias to modern champions like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Greg Norman and Tiger Woods.
