Spirit of Golf
A quest for the essence of the ole Scotts game from Pebble Beach to St. Andrews
Details
Sinopsis
In his new film, Spirit of Golf, photographer and documentary filmmaker Christopher Felver traces his personal 20-year odyssey in search of the essence of the âauld Scots game.â Inspired by Michael Murphyâs book, Golf in the Kingdom, he travels to many of golfâs historic, fabled courses: St Andrews, Pebble Beach, Augusta National, among others. He interviews many of the gameâs great champions and more than a few colorful characters, who are asked the question, âWhat is the spirit of golf?â We hear from Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, the wonderfully unique Moe Norman, Kathy Whitworth and Nancy Lopez, and notable teachers such as David Leadbetter, âButchâ Harmon and commentators Herbert Warren Wind, Jack Whitaker, and Jim Nantz. All the answers are marvelously diverse, funny, and poetic⌠just like the game itself.
