A great pleasure to recall the artistry and warm personality of the greatest shot maker. The legend Lee Trevino.

The reason I started playing golf as a kid, was watching these guys having fun with Peter Alliss binding it all together. Fantastic to watch it again.

Lee's comments about Seve, full of praise about his ability. Both great players, but Seve in fill flow, a true sight to behold.

Fantastic. This programme got me into golf and I still play. Miss those days so much

Great memories of watching this show as a boy, got me into golf, with my 2nd hand slazenger Peter Alliss 7 iron. Sad to think they are all dead now apart from Lee Trevino.

What a gem, so thankful to be able to see this.

Oh I loved this show so much, I remember many happy hours watching this series. Thank you for this! 🙏☀️

Such a great series, I absolutely loved watching these as a kid! There's a really touching moment at about 28:20 where Peter is walking along with his hand on Seve's shoulder and they have a little laugh. In my memory at that time men weren't quite so tactile as nowadays, so this moment is genuine unalloyed affection and admiration from one great ambassador of the sport, to the greatest rising star of his generation. It'd bring a tear to a glass eye.

Yes! Have been looking for this for so long. Brings back so many memories. My first exposure to golf, watching this with my dad as a boy. Thank you :-) Slazenger!

Lee Trevino was saying the punch line to the joke half way down his backs wing . And that was playing in the majors too ! A truly remarkable talent of a man .

I can't remember who it was but Trevino was in a two-ball in a tournament and the other pro said to him, "Lee, I really don't want to talk today." Trevino replied saying, "That's okay, I'll talk, you listen!" 🤣

When Trevino talks golf, you listen - he was spot on about Seve - 5 majors in the next 9 years.

All the pro celebrity challenges ( including the White and McKay whisky one with Tony Jacklin) were lovely, gentle, Sunday night viewing. Advertisers always strive to reach golfers because they are considered Grade A contacts, so I could never see why a commercial channel wouldn't run a pro celeb series but none have. Thanks so much for posting, it brings back lots of good memories.

Thanks uploading this episode, I used to love watching the episodes on Ch 2 ABC TV Australia.

Thanks so much for this posting….so many memories, priceless

I was there on the day. This was my golfing pilgrimage, to watch the pre-celebrity, I went to watch the golfing god that was Seve (350 yards with persimmon and ballata) and the 2nd greatest ball striker ever, Lee Trevino, Hogan was the best of all time. What memories.

So Jack Nicklaus, the GOAT, is wrong?

Out all the sleep sound apps I have, I keep coming to videos like this to lull me to sleep. It usually takes over an hour (usually several) for me to call sleep. This does it in 5 minutes. It's probably the guy's voice, and the light clapping... whatever it is, thank you.

Ah great times indeed! I was there! I was 17 in ‘79 and travelled from my home in Fife, in my (black) Austin Maxi, to watch this match. I took any opportunity to see Seve play in those days. Another memorable day was watching the Seve / Jack Nicklaus 18 hole exhibition match at Ladybank Golf Club in ‘83. Simpler times.

I watched Trevino and Sanders at Wentworth match play. They both hit a long iron into a greeen. Both drilled the ball. Both played the same shot. Both got the same result . super to watch. Those were the days.. ahh. Sevvy on his journey to the USA and what he achieved there. absolutely brilliant.

There was a classic episode of this with comedian Eric Sykes. I remember my dad being in stitches when Peter Allis asked him what he had learned from playing with the professional golfers to which Eric Sykes replied “Give it Up” the look on Peter Allis’s face was legendary

These really are gold 👍

Some wonderful golfing memories, Seve and Trevino battling as Captains commentary by the great Peter Aliss.... happy days 👍🤪

Any programme with Peter Alliss is going to be class. Alas, this type of programme will never return.

I watched with my score card when I played the course in 1983 - I would have beat 007! Very touching moment between Allis and Ballesteros at minute 28, brought a nostalgic tear to my eye!

Never saw or heard of this show. Great!

thank you for posting this. my favourite programme as a kid, loved golf, loved watching this, especially when Sean Connery was on!

Has there ever been a swing quite like Seve’s. Magic.

Absolute legend for posting this, loving it!

Great stuff. Thank you for the upload.

Makes me feel so old I Remember watching these must be 50 years ago 🙈

Thanks for putting this up

Steve's 2 iron on 29:30 pure class Lee was in top form, Henry and Sean very impressive great video

Sad to think only Lee is still with us

Best demonstration I’ve seen just wish when demonstrating the proper way he would have swung a few with the club head on the hitting end.

Thanks for posting this. Great shot making.

So many happy memories watching this.😂 Wee Ronnie Corbett an his dirty jokes would make me cry with laughter.😊

29'45" - that is pure witchcraft. Phenomenal shot with a 2i.

What a stellar lineup that was.

Back in the days when Golf was still a sport not like today's sponser/big biz 'show' Along with 4 real 'characters ' plus Peter Aliss after Henry Longhirst the best ever Golf commentator

Amazing that Trevino carried on playing with the thunder about considering his history!

Priceless Timeless Greatness are a few word's that pop into my mind.

Wow I can’t believe Seve use to hit the ball that far using those old persimmon woods…outstanding 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Wonderful stuff. Trevino was and is TV gold

Wow Lee Trevino and sev the best golfers I adore spectacular 👍👍👍👍

Absolute gold.

Remember watching this back in 79, it was brilliant entertainment. Peter Alliss is no longer with us and only Lee Trevino 83yrs is left from the playing foursome.

I remember Frank Carson on this, he said ( advice from the pro golfer can’t recall who it was), “ to have fortnight’s rest,then give the game up altogether “😂😂

This is brilliant ❤

Quality I remember as a kid watching it with my dad

Seve Ballesteros could visualise, then make, shots that were beyond the imagination and skill of most pro golfers. Mind you, the parts of the golf course he visited (especially off the tee) he needed to!

Interesting that Peter Alliss introduced Lee as the British and American Open winner and a few months later Seve would win the British Open at Royal Lytham, battling some of the toughest conditions in the history of the tournament. He was the only one to finish under par (-1) helped by the famous up and down birdie from a parking lot on the 16th hole.

Next time Henry Cooper has a long putt, Sean Connery should casually drop a gold bar next to him.

Is it Terry Wogan who still holds the record for longest televised putt out? Or did I dream it ??? 😊

007 has got the yips, believe me i know all about them, only supermex left now 😢, the other great men have all gone to pastures new, still find it hard to except SEVE is know longer with us he left us far too early 😞

watching this film and others like it, is there any conclusion other than that this era of golf, persimmon and blades, and the ability and artistry it evoked, by far is a better representation of how the game should be played, than what we see today?

Simpler times . Terrific.

Great!!!!

Henry Cooper was one heck of a putter…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great stuff. Wasn’t Trevino a marvellous competitor. Hope you can post more. Thanks

I can remember a series with I think Player Palmer and old age creeps in but it was the best 9 holes in British golf and i saw it at the 17th hole of Royal Lytham. I wish i could remember the other players.

Yeah remember it well. Used to beg me nana and me aunty to watch this great programme on a Friday night in 1979 and besides RIP Peter Alliss was an amazing commenter (pulls no punches) miss him loads and his wife is dead gorgeous isn't she remember him saying in one open one year.. "that attractive woman is my wife "

Ahh the days of persimmon, balata and blades, proper golf

what a joy

Seve, Sean, Henry and Peter all passed; only Lee left now, makes me feel very mortal.

Not sure you’d get 2 superstars today like Seve and Lee were to play in a format where every word is broadcast

Check out Sean Connery’s putter…..he got that from the putt putt course 😂😂😂

29:43 unbelievable !!

Seve had a great short game, but he was erratic with his drives. Lee could hit the ball down the middle more than just anybody who ever played. Seve won 5 majors, and Lee won 6. Seve won Masters where straight driving is not essential, and Lee won the U.S. Opens where you always must be straight.

The powers that be should make another series of pro celebrity golf with the european ryder cup hero sam torrance as presenter. Tremendous player and former winner in the triumphant bi annual competition. The ratings will increase tenfold if it was brought back to freeview tv.

Cooper had great hands and touch on the greens and considering he played the whole way round left handed I thought he was very flash - one might say over confident!!!!!

I'd say that the difficulty in re-staging this nowadays is that the top pros are so far ahead of the better amateur/celebrity players that it could be quite embarrassing at the gulf in class.The 30 yard head start in 1979 would be about 100 yards now.

I'd say that the problem is that the journeyman golfers are all millionaires. That's not a problem for golfers but it's a problem for getting Pro Celebrity Golf up and running again.

First broadcast: Fri 26th Jan 1979, Australia Day.

I’ve followed a lot of pro golfers around golf courses since 1969 and no one was more entertaining on the course than Lee Trevino Fuzzy Zoeler came a close second until he upset Tiger and as a consequence lost his sponsors and just seemed to fade into the background shame

I’m appalled that such an illustrious legend like Peter Alliss should call the playing system in his intro as the Stapleford system when in reality it was inaugurated by Dr. Stableford. A plaque to commemorate this is installed at Wallasey G C. Stapleford is a village just outside Nottingham. I know it’s only a slip of the tongue and he was a top Pro golfer but must have played a Stableford competition many times as a junior golfer.
