2000 Open Golf Championship Official Film Tiger Woods Ernie Els David Duval St Andrews
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club had little hesitation in bringing the Millennium Open Championship back to St Andrews - it is after all the home of golf. Suitably, all the surviving winners of the Claret Jug were invited to play in a special event to commemorate this unique Championship. This film looks back on all the drama of the greatest Championship in golf, played on the game’s most famous course and dominated by Tiger Woods, the most prominent player since Jack Nicklaus himself. The Open Championship saw its highest ever attendance figures, and in perfect weather for all four days, Tiger held back the charge of contenders Ernie Els, David Duval, Thomas Bj?rn, and David Toms with four bunker-free rounds in the 60?s (only the third Open winner to do so) and a final score of 269, eight strokes ahead of Bj?rn and Els. This would give Tiger Woods his first Open victory at St. Andrews, and make him the youngest player to complete the career Grand Slam of professional major golf championships.

The British Open Championship The 2008 Official Film
2008 was the year Padraig Harrington joined a unique club when he successfully defended his Open Championship crown.
Played in gusting winds and, for the first two rounds, driving rain, Royal Birkdale provided the sternest of Open Championship tests.
With Tiger Woods absent through injury, the spotlight switched to former world number one, Greg Norman. At 53 years of age the Great White Shark delighted the huge galleries and in round four, with just nine holes to play, his name topped the leaderboard. But after a brilliant display of fortitude and patience, Harrington prevailed - his unforgettable second to the 71st hole, the shot of the Championship and, probably, the year, sealed the title for the Irish star.
The 2008 Open will also be remembered for thrilling final round charges by Ian Poulter and Henrik Stenson, as Norman’s challenge slipped away.
The Official Film tells the full story of one of the best Opens of recent times.

User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Some good tips
This book has some good tips on the golf swing, but I wouldn’t call it a must read. It also shows a number of swing faults and how to prevent them.
It does have one of the best descriptions on how to grip the golf club of any book I’ve read. That one section makes it worth the money.
It does assume there is only one correct system for swinging the golf club (the modern, coiling swing). If you use another swing method (swing axis, traditional swing) some of the tips may not apply.
1 Star Not again!!!
I saw Mr. Bradley on Golf Channel Academy Live and was impressed. I then got online and waited until his book price got low enough for me to want to buy it. The other reviews seemed overwhelmingly good and every one was impressed. I got it finally. What a let down. While the pictures are great and yet disturbing in some cases I have yet to complete reading it.
I cannot get past Mr. Bradley’s overanalysis of the whole swing process. If you buy anything (and I don’t mean to endorse) get anything by A.J. Bonar or just to go your pro and get at least 2 lessons. Golf does not have to be Rocket science although Mr. Bradley seems to write as though it is.
5 Stars best golf information
This is a must read book for every golfer. Especially mid handicapers (10- 15). He focuses on how the golf swing should feel, from grip to impact and completion of swing. He gives excellent examples for the feel, especially feather feel. I am reading this book every chance I get, I bet you will to.
4 Stars Very analytical book - good pictures
I found the pictures in this book helpfull - they also look pretty cool. Some of the explanations of the optimal body postures are not straightforward and they require a second or a third reading - however this is a compliment since this book is not over-simplifying things - the author makes an effort explaining all the subtilities of golf.
5 Stars Long Over Due
The brilliance of this book is in the fact that it uses pictures to explain the golf swing. As humans we think in pictures anyway and is why words alone are often a waste of time. Bradely also uses words along with the pictures but this only adds to the power those pictures have to emblazen the proper feel into the golf swing. Telling someone to feel that they have a nail driven through both hands to create a great grip is not as lasting as seeing the actual picture.
