| Video Discription | First broadcasted at the end of the BBC's 2003 British Open Golf Championship coverage, Peter Alliss, the late great Alex Hays, Ken Brown and Sam Torrance provide their dolcit tunes to perform the John Betjemen poem "Seaside Golf" Ben Curtis's suprising yet memorable championship win at Royal St Georges golf course, 2003, provides the perfect visual aid to the commentators lyrics. The video footage uses clips of the whole 2003 open tournament to bring to life John Betjeman's depiction of his own perfect hole of golf. A long, straight drive, followed by an accurate approach onto the green, to leave a simple putt to complete his birdie. A beautiful piece of footage, deserving to be shared with the world once more. ------------------------------------------------------------- The poem in it's entrity is as follows: How straight it flew, how long it flew, It clear'd the rutty track And soaring, disappeared from view Beyond the bunker's back - A glorious, sailing, bounding drive That made me glad I was alive. And down the fairway, far along It glowed a lonely white; I played an iron sure and strong And clipp'd it out of sight, And spite of grassy banks between I knew I'd find it on the green. And so I did. It lay content Two paces from the pin; A steady putt and then it went Oh, most surely in. The very turf rejoiced to see That quite unprecedented three. Ah! Seaweed smells from sandy caves And thyme and mist in whiffs, In-coming tide, Atlantic waves Slapping the sunny cliffs, (Lark song and sea sounds in the air) And splendour, splendour everywhere. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *Legal Disclaimer* I have uploaded this video, wholly, in good faith.
