I remember when Dad played this match against Tony Lema, they became very good friends, Dad was devastated when Tony was killed. The greens in Bermuda were very bumpy, which ruined Dad's already fragile confidence, but God, his putting was dreadful. Mind you, he made a lot of money, eventually, on the back of three putting. Tony said your Dad killed me from tee to green. They fought out a great half in the Ryder Cup also. If anybody's interested look up a very brief clip on Vimeo of my grandad Percy Alliss losing the playoff to Walter Hagen for the 1931 Canadian Open Championship

Love watching these Shell Matches. Golf was so enjoyable to watch from years ago. Seemed more gentile.  No shouts of " get in the Hole"

I really never saw Peter Alliss as a player.  I only knew him as a golf commentator.  Footage of Tony Lema is just golden.

RIP Tony. We will never know what have missed with your wonderful style of golf.

Memories are better than dreams

I played the "Lima" course in San Leandro a hundreds of times .  It was a shame they changed the name to Monarch Bay. It will always be the Lima to us old timers.

Peter wrote in his autobiography that, following all his yipping, he suspected Tony missed that last putt deliberately, out of sympathy!".

I'm watching this for Peter Alliss!

This program was the best golf show ever.  Too bad they don't do it today.  Look at the condition of this course compared to today's courses.  Holy moly.  And the speed of the greens is probably like 7 on the Stimp Meter.  lol

I love watching swwog... I wish they still had it on TV .. love listening to the squire, Gene sarazen.

Thanks for this gem 😍👍🙏🙏🙏

A lovely programme

These films are amazing. Thank you

Gene was so refined. I wish we had Gene these days as a public role model. So sad the loss of Tony.

bet they had fun in the bar after the round. those 60's cats knew how to enjoy themselves. RIP both guys.

Lema's book Golfer's Gold is a must have. Great look at his career starting up and how the tour operated in the 60s.

A wonderful game and tribute to Tony Lema..Boy thoughs greens were super bumpy.Great match.

This is so wonderful. My grandpa & I used to watch this when I was younger, he & my grandmother were avid golfers and we would watch Shell Wonderful World of Golf every time it was on and he would cut me a cigar , talk about golf and drink scotch together. Thanks for the video and great memories!!

Exciting to see some of C.B.’s work on display

Great to see this, as I played the course back in 1982.   I have two happy memories - a 4 at the iconic 5th. then at the short 7th `i got on the front of the green, stepped back to look at the line of the putt and dropped into the left sided water. The caddy tried to suppress a laugh, but just said" I've never seen that before".  He suggested I put on my waterproofs and hand in the trousers at the 9th... and brilliantly they were washed & pressed when I got to the clubhouse at 18.   Happy memories of playing there and four other courses that week - Castle Harbour, Port Royal, a 9 holer (forgetten name) and  the par 3 Southampton Princess.
