1999 British Open - Jean Van de Velde and the 18th Hole - BBC
Was doing a test video for PAL to NTSC
On the actual coverage the tape was running out so the entire hole was never recorded, when Van de Velde is in the burn it is a mix of the BBC coverage and BBC Highlight coverage which was shown after the event.
This project was actually abandoned and never completed
Recorded the PAL VHS to PAL DVD (about 5 hours of material), than re-coloured and cleaned the picture, next issued to DVD. Played the DVD thru a Digital Tuner and an external Comb Filter with a TBC and recorded it to SVHS NTSC, the idea was to help out with converting the 25 frames per second to 29.97 frames per second with normal looking motion. Next took the SVHS tape and played it back thru the Digital Tuner using a Pro Line high end VCR and recorded it to digital.
The recording was incomplete so had to match up the BBC Highlight and actual coverage to fill the gaps. However the colour of the picture and audio on the two recordings were different, this had to be blended together.
The results ended up being pretty good, it just seemed the best way to get the best quality out of the recording was to just leave it in PAL format. Than go in an remastered the recording and fix the errors that are common with VHS.
Even though this video had been edited it all the BBC coverage that I had. Since this was only a test video the audio levels were never matched up 100%.
On a side note the 99 British tape for the 3rd round NTSC ESPN coverage had some major damage this was a project that took a long time to complete, and turned out really well, however lost the files due to a computer virus, cryptowall which basically held the files at ransom. Also lost in this attack was raw coverage of the 1st and 2nd rounds, 2000 PGA, 2014 Tour Championship (which I still have the raw files) 2012 Bay Hill and maybe 1 or 2 others. Have to look may have the 3rd round coverage somewhere on a random hard drive, but rounds 1 & 2 are gone no back ups, just the source VHS tape is left.

**************************************************
Once upon a time all sporting action was shown live on terrestrial TV in the UK, and for years The Open was shown on UK TV as part of Grandstand, after thoroughly enjoying The Masters © this year I went about trying to find a decent Golf game to make a version of Grandstand with a Major being settled, however my old PS3 broke and the PS4 hasn’t been kind to Golf games, although I really enjoyed The Golf Club 2019, it just doesn’t look very visionally impressive. I ended up getting an old version of Rory Mcllroy PGA Tour © made in 2015 and played a 3-player round of St Andrews Old Corse, and I’m pleased with the results. I’ve cut a lot of footage out to hopefully make it flow and I’ve also changed the final hole celebration, so it feels a bit like winning The Open.
I’ve also finally been able to make a more faithful rundown of events that used to air at the beginning of Grandstand, featuring what was to come, then again this was before the days of not only the internet but also any TV guide other than Grandstand appearing in the listings.
I’ve also added an old school score display in the top left corner of the UEFA Nations League Final game between Portugal and The Netherlands, which I have to thank TheMineHDX who has inspired me to make the final, this was with the game set as both teams as CPU controlled and the camera changed to broadcast, but I’ve added in the celebrations at the end. Overall, I’m pleased with how the game turned out
**************************************************
The Old Course at St Andrews is considered by many to be the home of golf because the sport was first played on the Links at St Andrews in the early 15th century. Golf was becoming increasingly popular in Scotland until in 1457, when James II of Scotland banned golf because he felt that young men were playing too much golf instead of practicing their archery. The ban was upheld by the following kings of Scotland until 1502, when King James IV became a golfer himself and removed the ban.
Grandstand was a British television sport programme. Broadcast between 1958 and 2007, it was one of the BBC's longest running sports shows, alongside BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
Its first presenter was Peter Dimmock. There were only five main presenters of the programme during its long history: David Coleman (who took over from Dimmock after just three programmes), Frank Bough, Des Lynam and Steve Rider. Changes in the structure of the programme during its last few years, however, meant it did not have a regular main presenter during this time.
Among the more occasional hosts were Alan Weeks, David Icke, Clare Balding, Hazel Irvine, Bob Wilson, David Vine, Barry Davies, Dougie Donnelly, Harry Carpenter, Harry Gration, John Inverdale, Tony Gubba, Helen Rollason, Ray Stubbs and Sue Barker.
The last editions of Grandstand were broadcast over the weekend of 27–28 January 2007

Jean van de Velde golf collapse 1999 Open at Carnoustie
The biggest tragedy in golf. Jean van de Velde's collapse at the Open Championship at Carnoustie in 1999. A double bogey 6 or better was all that seperated the Frenchman from the Claret Jug. He made a 7!!!!!! He lost the resulting 3 way playoff to local hero Paul Lawrie.
I uploaded this video as Carnoustie which is currently holding the Open, will always remind me of Jean's antics at the last.
I have a blog entry of the tragic event. You can find it here

Lectures 2018 - Brian Matheson MBE The Hunters of Blackness and their lost Golf Course
Our lecture series continues with a talk from Brian Matheson, who has been investigating a lost Angus golf course. This may have been the forerunner of the famous Carnoustie Links, the venue for The Open this year.
The story involves the Hunter family of Blackness, who were major land owners in Dundee and the Parish of Barry, which would now be in Angus. The Hunters played their game of golf with fellow members of some of the most ancient of Scottish golf clubs and societies.
This story touches very briefly on the swirl of politics, economics and the social changes of the time to better understand the reasons why Brian thinks this golf course was lost “in the mists of time”.
Carnoustie owes much to the landed gentry, those men, who would play for the ‘Blackness Medal’ on the Links – Land of Barry before the Carnoustie golf club was founded in 1842.
Brian has filmed the land in the hope of discovering where the course was, a video of which will be shown during the lecture.
With golf’s top players all visiting Angus this July, it will be a chance to think back to a time when the land was first used for golf and the personalities and politics involved in its development.

Carnoustie Golf Links (Championship)
The Championship Course was originally laid out in 1840 by Allan Robertson with major changes being introduced later by Old Tom Morris and then James Braid. A local man, James Wright, redesigned the final holes to provide what is generally accepted as the hardest finish in golf. Carnoustie Championship Course is difficult, but fair, and always rewards good play. Open Champions include Tommy Armour, Henry Cotton, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Paul Lawrie, and Padraig Harrington. Senior Open Champion Bernhard Langer and Women's British Open Champion Yani Tseng.

They call it CarNASTY or The Bear. Its long. Its narrow. Its slippery. Its subject to strong winds and horizontal rain. Its not fair. It can be your worst nightmare, right Jean Van de Velde?
The great challenge at Carnoustie is the ever changing nature of the course. There is no such thing as an easy hole at Carnoustie, and the most difficult are among the fiercest to be found anywhere. With the wind against, a stream known as Jockies Burn comes into play on four of the first six holes, the infamous Barry Burn giving the course its famous finish.

Jack Nicklaus: Tee The Ball Higher
By Jack Nicklaus Jim FlickPhotos by Golf Digest Resource Center
Sweep It: I tee the ball up a bit with an iron for a more level swing, as shown in this 1977 photograph.
JACK NICKLAUS: I've hit some memorable shots on par-3 holes during my career. Two that are special to me are the 1-iron on 17 in the 1972 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach that hit the pin, dropping to within tap-in distance, and the 5-iron on 16 at the '86 Masters that spun down the slope, just missing the cup, finishing three feet away.
Both of those shots contributed to major-championship victories, and each time I was proud of my execution. Before the shot, I spot-lined at my target (using intermediate targets to set my aim) and stuck to my routine. That includes finding a level place on the teeing ground so my stance is comfortable--I don't want to stand on the edge of a divot or even a gradual sideslope. And I tee the ball a little higher than most players do.
I always felt that air had less resistance than dirt. What puzzles me is when players take a tee, jam it all the way in the ground and then put the ball on top of it. Why is the tee there? You have the opportunity on a par 3 to tee it up, so why not take advantage of that and give yourself the best lie possible. In the fairway, when the ball sits on the ground, you might hit it thin or fat. But if you tee the ball a little higher on a par 3, you can make more of a sweeping swing, and you've just eliminated the two things you don't want to happen.
JIM FLICK: Jack's comments show once again how the mind of a great player works. He leaves no detail to chance. You should adopt the same mind-set on par 3s, where you can choose how and where to tee the ball.
For example, depending on your intended ball flight, one side of the teeing ground is better than the other. Players who draw the ball should tee up on the left of the teeing area and aim at the right side of the green, especially if the hole is cut on the left. That gives you the entire green to work with. Billy Casper, who played a hook later in his career, almost always did this. Lee Trevino did just the opposite because of his left-to-right ball flight. He teed his ball near the right tee marker and aimed at the left side of the green.
Study the wind as well. With an iron approach, you usually want to curve the ball into the wind so it serves as a buffer, helping the ball drop softly onto the putting surface. If the wind is blowing right to left, a fade is usually your better option, and vice versa.
Finally, if you're hitting a hybrid, experiment with your tee height. Hybrids are designed with sole weighting and shallow faces to make it easier to get the ball in the air. Therefore, you might not want to tee the ball as high as you would for an iron.

Places to see in ( Carnoustie - UK )
Places to see in ( Carnoustie - UK )
Carnoustie is a town and former police burgh in the council area of Angus, Scotland. It is at the mouth of the Barry Burn on the North Sea coast. In the 2011 census, Carnoustie had a population of 11,394, making it the fourth largest town in Angus.
The town was founded in the late 18th century, and grew rapidly throughout the 19th century due to the growth of the local textile industry. It was popular as a tourist resort from the early Victorian era up to the latter half of the 20th century, due to its seaside location, and is best known for the Carnoustie Golf Links course that often hosts the Open Championship.
Carnoustie can be considered a dormitory town for its nearest city, Dundee, which is 11 miles (18 km) to the west. It is served by Carnoustie railway station, and less so by Golf Street railway station. Its nearest major road is the A92.
The origin of the name Carnoustie is uncertain. Plausible suggestions have included various Gaelic derivations such as cathair, càrr or càrn na fheusta, 'fort, rock or cairn of the feast,' or càrn guithais, 'cairn of the firtree.' However, these suggestions are of relatively recent origin and the name may derive from an obscure Pictish element, Càrn Ùstaidh. The area surrounding Carnoustie has been occupied continuously since the Neolithic period.
Carnoustie benefited from the 19th century fashion for sea bathing. The arrival of the railway enabled the town to develop as a popular tourist destination; it was promoted as the Brighton of the North in the early 20th century. Tourism in Carnoustie began to decline in the latter half of the 20th century, largely due to the increased availability of package tours to warmer parts of the world. This trend has reversed somewhat with the increase in golf tourism.
Carnoustie occupies a seafront position on the North Sea coast of Scotland, on land immediately to the north east of the Buddon Ness, 10.3 miles (17 km) ENE of Dundee, 6.7 miles (11 km) SW of Arbroath and 13.1 miles (21 km) SSE of Forfar. The town lies 42.2 miles (68 km) NNE of Edinburgh[76] and 360.2 miles (580 km) NNW of London. The built-up area occupies a roughly rectangular shape 1.9 miles (3.1 km) long by 0.5 miles (0.9 km) wide. The land is relatively flat, rising gradually to around 30 m elevation to the north of the town. The climate is typical for the east coast of Scotland, although the weather can be locally influenced by sea mist, locally known as haar.
Much of the western part of Carnoustie is post-war. The main road in this part of the town is known as 'Barry Road' and towards its eastern end there are a group of weavers cottages that pre-date the expansion of the town and used to belong to the hamlet of Hunterstown. Leading south from here, is Panmure Street, which leads to the Panmure Institute and, behind it, the Panmure Works. The Panmure Institute is now known as the Panmure Centre and owned by Angus Council for their Community Learning and Development Centre. The factory building was restored in the late 1990s and now houses the building firm DJ Laing.
The road heading north on the opposite side of Dundee Street is 'West Path'. Its name comes from the fact it was the path that lead down to the main road from the western boundary of the grounds of Carnoustie House. Carnoustie House was built by Major William Philips in 1792 and bought by George Kinloch in 1808. It passed to Kinloch's daughter, Cecilia Kinloch who, in turn, passed it to her niece, Helen Lingard-Guthrie.
The A92 runs between Arbroath and Dundee about ⅔ of a mile (1 km) to the north of Carnoustie. There are several ways to reach the A92, including the main routes that run between the Upper Victoria junction and between the A930, Carlogie road and Muirdrum Junction. It is also possible to reach the west-bound carriageway of the A92 via Balmachy Road and the Grange of Barry Road.
Trains are operated by Abellio ScotRail on the Edinburgh to Aberdeen line. They stop at Carnoustie railway station on an approximately hourly basis. Two trains a day stop at Golf Street railway station (0638 West-bound and 1910 East-bound) and two at Barry Links (06:41 West-bound and 18:52 East-bound). As a result, Golf Street and Barry Links are two of the least used stations in the UK.
( Carnoustie - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Carnoustie . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Carnoustie - UK

Golf champ Alan Bannister guilty of £26k benefit fraud
A champion golfer who said he was too ill to walk but played the sport regularly has been found guilty of a £26,000 benefit fraud.
Alan Bannister, 56, of Barry, claimed a higher rate disability living allowance after exaggerating the severity of his arthritis, Cardiff Crown Court heard.
He claimed his chronic arthritis left him in constant pain and he struggled to walk and lift a saucepan.
But secret video footage showed him completing 18 holes in four hours.
His trial heard the former mechanical engineer made a claim for more benefits after he quit work on health grounds and saw his income halved.
As well as getting a benefit payment usually reserved for people who cannot walk, he was also given a car - which he drove to golf tournaments.
Bannister told the court he had been advised to play golf by his doctors and maintained he had not claimed anything he was not entitled to.
'Misrepresented capabilities'
On his claim form for increased benefits, he said his difficulties had got worse and he needed help getting dressed and cooking food.
But that same year he joined the 18-hole St Andrews Major Golf Club in Dinas Powys - and soon racked up some impressive scores on the course.
He won the club's championship and also lifted a number of other trophies.
Bannister claimed he had good days and bad days and golf helped ease his pain.
I would have ended up in a wheelchair if I did not take up golf. I'm more exhausted not playing golf. Am I a freeloader? No, he said.
In 2012, the DWP received an anonymous tip-off, prompting officials to investigate Bannister.
Footage filmed by officers showed Bannister holding a golf bag with one hand and appearing to have no trouble raising clubs above his head.
In his closing address Mr McLeese, prosecuting, said: Is this someone out for a leisurely stroll while playing a game of golf on a Saturday morning? Or is this a man virtually unable to walk?
He misrepresented enormously his true capabilities.
A jury found Bannister guilty of obtaining money transfers by deception after making false representations.
