Golf channel?

About a month ago on the GC there were lessons from the pros, I believe,

They were in black and white and about 15 minutes long and featured Ben

Hogan. I think.. does anyone remember watching them? They reminded me

of the movietone news from the 50s.

I think I know what your talking about.

I remember something about Ben Hogan giving someone a lesson on an air plain?..and talking about back spin.

In another he was hitting bunker shots.

I have seen a few of them.

I believe that these were from a series that Bobby Jones did in the 1930's called "How I Play Golf." Occasionally The Golf Channel will air these around 1 or 2 am. Haven't seen them in a while though.

This was my first thought, you can buy them on DVD but they seem to run them about ever 6 months or so on The Golf Channel.

Several of the Bobby Jones shorts were on yesterday, from both How I Play Golf and How to Break 90.

Jones got $240,000 to make 18 shorts. Lot of money in those days.

I watched some of it yesterday. It was kind of humorous they way they acted. Bobby Jones was good, he put a whole bunch of shots within two feet of the hole out of a greenside bunker, it wasnt a very hard shot but he was consistently very close and almost holed a few.

Rather ironically, by taking that money to make those videos, he would have forfeited his amateur status, which he had held so dear.
