Had the opportunity to play this course today - speechless at not just the course, but the Wonderfull staff that blew me away. From the gentlemen who run you from the putting green to the club house by golf cart to the friendly and helpful marshals, and the fantastic caddies that really make the experience. It was windy and challenging, but you wouldn't have it any other way.

Jack's last time in an Open. The standing ovation is said to have lasted for 10 minutes. Greatest of all time and such a humble champion and outstanding person.
@@EuclidStreams That “Royalty” turned out to be Prince Andrew, Duke of York. Turns out he’s a serial pedophile? Hanging with Jeffrey Epstein on his private island.
For those of you that never had a chance to watch the Golden Bear operate on a golf course it was quite a sight to behold. Back in his day no one smashed the ball further or kissed the greens sweeter than Jack.
Brian Schoen I’ve always thought tiger is the Goat. If it weren’t for his back injuries and personal issues then he would’ve beaten the Career Major Wins record by now.
Ethan Marcum while Woods may well be the greatest (and it’s a matter of opinion) he’ll probably never be loved or respected in the same way as Jack was and still is. Everything about the Golden Bear oozed class
@@TheYorkie72 I rate Tiger as the best for two reasons. Jack stated himself that Tiger goes up against a lot more players who can win then he did, and Jack also stated that Tiger has the best short game ever, even better than Jacks. Oh, Jack also stated if Tiger did not have those injuries, he would have surpassed him. Plus Jack has 73 PGA wins and Tiger has 82 PGA Wins and a few more years yet.
Shane Jackson “Tiger goes up against a lot more people who can win than Jack did”. Arnold Palmer (7 major wins), Gary Player (10), Billy Casper (4), Lee Trevino (6), Johnny Miller (2), Tom Watson (8), Hubert Green (3), Hale Irwin (3), Raymond Floyd (4) to name but a few. But yeah, you’re right because Tiger had to go up against Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh.....
What dig? Because he said you want to be a player who will truly be remembered, you have to win at St. Andrews? If you think he meant that as a dig, then how do you know it wasn't directed at Ben Hogan or Walter Hagen, neither of whom won there either. There was no dig, ridiculous assertion.
@@jonburrows8602 I think it's a jab at Watson more than Palmer. But In 1960, where Palmer won the Masters and US Open and was going for the 3rd major win but he came in second.That was played at the old course St Andrew's. As great as these guys are, they could never win the PGA championship in their career. Hogan is a career grand slam winner and won on his first and only try at the Open. How many Pros can say that?. Walter Hagen was the first American born winner, so I don't think it's those guys.
Lol when Nicklaus threw his putter in the air after sinking the winning putt, and then IMMEDIATELY regretting that move as he covers up and glances over to see whose life was about to be ended by his flying putter.🤣🤪 ahhh… the good ol’ days.
Yesterday I booted a football onto the golf course and jumped the wall haha, my mate told me it was a popular course... didn't think it was this big of a deal
Mr sanders missing the putt to win is unfortunately the most memorable and iconic moment at St. Andrews. I can understand why they didn’t put it #1. Jack is such a great champion and gentleman, they want to celebrate his victory at the old course. Sanders was such a unique and likable fellow that didn’t deserve that to happen him.
What an iconic golf course on a calm day the old girl lets you make good scores but when she gets angry she is a cruel mistress apart from Augusta she's the toughest golf course on the planet
All golf courses, whether their architects realise it or not, are to some degree imitation of St Andrews, and almost none of them come anywhere near it.
@@JamesSmith-qr7be When Jones helped design Augusta, he ensured that the last (not the monster it is now!) was relatively straightforward, hence no water, following the example of the easy (in theory!) 18th at St Andrews. Same principle with the 18th at Pebble in this sense - it is (or should be), despite the water, a straightforward 5 for someone who needs a 5 to win.
@@ysgol3 pebble beach has water down the entire left hand side of the 18th literally from tee to green. Sure a straight forward par for a pro but personally I would find the 18th at St Andrews miles easier than both 18s at augusta and pebble. In fact 18 at augusta isnt that straight forward at all. Pebble if you get your tee shot right isnt too bad. St Andrews you have OB right bjt if you have a slice like I do you could literally aim left of the 1st tee block and you have miles and miles of fairway to work with and its short! St Andrews 18th is a different league of easy compared to Pebble and Augustas 18th. St Andrews 1st and 18th tee shots are potentially the two easiest tee shots on the tour
@@JamesSmith-qr7be I was referring to the original 18th at Augusta, not the very hard much longer hole it's become. Re Pebble, well, everyone's view is different - for a good player on the verge of winning, an 'arms block' 3 wood to the right, then a mid iron to the fairway before it narrows, then a short iron - job done. Tom Watson played it like that to win the 1982 US Open. As for St Andrews, like I say, it influenced Jones 100% for Augusta. Of course even the easiest holes can provide disaster - Doug Sanders in the 1970 Open being of course the prime example.
@@ysgol3 I agree re augusta as you said Jones said he based it on st andrews I just don't agree when it comes to all courses. And lets be honest most holes on thr pga tour that are par 5s are easy pars for those guys. Not that many hard par 5s to par maybe the 14th at pebble would be one of the tougher ones to par. St Andrews 18th is rediculously easy but if the pin is in a tricky spot then obviously you still gotta make the putts. The 17th at St Andrews would have one of the hardest approach shots in golf would rival the 12th at augusta. If I played the 17th I would lay up haha no way would i take that green on.
Palmer put the British open on the map for good. A legendary golfer is judged by such accomplishments not just titles. No disrespect to mr hogan, hogan apex irons. Hogan is an icon.
That’s not how I remember the whole John Daly and Constantino Rocka story. John Daly‘s girlfriend said you won, and he said it’s not over yet. They even show him mouthing those words.
@@mrvlsmrv It would have been a great story and it was fun to watch, but in fairness to Stewart Cink, Watson had a already won his share so I was also happy to see Cink get his first.
There's at least three of tv people's favorite word, "iconic" in here. They love it. It's like a fetish word. Everything that's older than a hipster and the hipster culture generation is bleedin' iconic.
Patrick Slingo - Still, at Turnberry where it was in 1977, and they are still 124 miles apart. The Scots have a crafty knack of differentiating between their Courses, by giving them different names. Tricky, eh ?
It’s really the British open for the rest of the world. It’s amazing the arrogance to continue just calling it “The Open Championship” when there are many opens around the world...
Eric Walsh. Hardly arrogance. More tradition I would say. The Masters subscribes to this in the same way and has been around for nowhere near the same amount of time. Just like your valid point that there are numerous Opens there are a number of Masters worldwide, but only one “Masters”.

Seve’s win is No1 iconic moment at St Andrew’s & probably open history with Jack Nicklaus great last visit coming in 2nd
that Rocca putt, even though he didn't eventually win, is certainly a top 2 moment given the drama and the personalities.
When I think of the Open I think of St. Andrews, Jack, Tom, and Seve. In no particular order. What a great tournament.
What a remarkable man Jack is. Last shot at The Open and it's a birdie.
What a beautiful place St.Andrews is
"With his son on the bag. Nicklaus was watched by royalty." - That certainly hasn't aged very well.
Whew! Hard not to cringe there. A lot has changed in the 6 years since this first aired. 😂
Might wanna cut that bit out 😂
That's what I came here to say to.
I don’t get it
@@EuclidStreams That “Royalty” turned out to be Prince Andrew, Duke of York. Turns out he’s a serial pedophile? Hanging with Jeffrey Epstein on his private island.
Many great players with great wins and also the legends. The Golden Bear with 3 jugs and 7 second place finishes~👈
For those of you that never had a chance to watch the Golden Bear operate on a golf course it was quite a sight to behold. Back in his day no one smashed the ball further or kissed the greens sweeter than Jack.
The greatest of all time. Jack Nicklaus!

I was at the 2005 Open at St Andrews. I have a 5 pound commemorative note
Did it cost 5 pounds to buy it?
Absolute goosebumps on that last Golden bear clip 🏌️♂️
Love the subtle dig at Arnie by Jack in his speech
What dig? Because he said you want to be a player who will truly be remembered, you have to win at St. Andrews? If you think he meant that as a dig, then how do you know it wasn't directed at Ben Hogan or Walter Hagen, neither of whom won there either. There was no dig, ridiculous assertion.

07:03 "Nicklaus was watched by Royalty?" Thought he was in a Pizza Express that night??
The beautiful game.
7:05 Watched by royalty my hoop. Vile character.
Do you think Charles knew Saville his close friend wasn't one of them? Seems like a long shot.
Jack. The GOAT
Yesterday I booted a football onto the golf course and jumped the wall haha, my mate told me it was a popular course... didn't think it was this big of a deal
Yeah, it's surrounded by walls 🤔
How could you even give a second of appearance to Prince Andrew?!?!?
In July 2015?
What ?.
Love
Honorable mention: Tiger at 2022 Open, similar moment to Jack.
I was there on the Saturday, never hit sand in 4 rounds, what a player
Tiger missing that final birdie putt, was interesting.
6:05 - are we calling it the claret 'jar' now? 😄
Has to laugh at royalty being represented by p Andrew

Golf is a brutal game.

, there's harder courses IN St Andrews (Castle, New, Jubilee) and Carnoustie is MUCH harder.
Absolute nonsense.
Theres many many courses harder in bad weather than St Andrews
Carnasty
All golf courses, whether their architects realise it or not, are to some degree imitation of St Andrews, and almost none of them come anywhere near it.
Almost all are imitations? Really? I can see that with say augusta or even Oakmount.
Pebble beach not so much.

TV images might be a bit grainy.
Tiger in 2000 should've been #1.
Only Jack would birdie his very last hole at St. Andrew's!
Wasn't it ben Hogan who made Americans know about it when he skipped the pga to play the open
Hogan only made the trip across the pond once. Palmer likely made it stick because he made the journey over and over again
Palmer put the British open on the map for good. A legendary golfer is judged by such accomplishments not just titles. No disrespect to mr hogan, hogan apex irons. Hogan is an icon.

Back in the day players putted like they had shat themselves
Anyone else hear a death rattle?
It's predator!

Wow, no one knew that.
And now look at Andrew, not fit to be called a Prince.
On the other hand, over the course of history a lot of princes have also done a lot of really vile stuff.
Watson nearly at 59
That open was not held at St. Andrews though. 😒
Wasn’t that something, though? My children still remember me yelling as I watched on TV!
I really wanted Watson to win that one. He played great that week.

Here's a question? Where do the championship playing open players hit practice balls????
On the practice range (or is this a trick question)
@@voice_of_reason5604 where's the range though?
@@jadesmith6823 somewhere on the course grounds
TBH this course has more than just the first and eighteeth hole..... didn't see too much of anything else though.
There's a range down on the other side of the Old Course Hotel. It basically runs parallel to the 16th hole.
Number 1 better be John Daly macking his old lady while a streaker runs by....
Very eloquently put(excuse the pun) who's going to want to watch a lot of Lee Westwoodd playing without passion ?
