Great upload, thank you! I have never seen footage of the '67 Ryder Cup before Golf from thus era is much more enjoyable to watch than from today. Keep them coming!
Amazing find, 👏 thank you. I had the pleasure of working alongside George Will at Kingshill GC he was a legend and one of the nicest Humans I ever met. Also some of the stories he told me 🤫🤫
Have played Champions Cypress Creek and once met Doug Sanders on the practice green at a local municipal course in Houston. Walked up, introduced myself and he couldn't have been nicer. Acted as though we've been friends for years!
Despite having won his seventh major title as a professional at the U.S. Open in June, 27-year-old Jack Nicklaus was not a member of the U.S. team. At the time, a five-year apprenticeship as a professional was required before Ryder Cup points could be earned. Nicklaus turned pro in November 1961 and was granted tournament status at the end of that year.[11] He expedited his status by passing PGA business classes in February 1966, and was granted full membership that June.[12] Only then was he eligible to accumulate Ryder Cup points, which ended with the Masters in April. Captain's selections did not exist in 1967 and Nicklaus was in a slump following his win at the Masters in 1966;[13] entering the Masters in 1967 as the two-time defending champion, he was in 13th place in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings. Also just off the team were Dave Marr and Bob Goalby.[14] Nicklaus and Goalby missed the cut at Augusta and Marr's T-16 finish was not enough to pass Johnny Pott for the tenth and final spot on the team.[9] Pott was 4-0-0 in the competition. The outmoded five-year rule had similarly kept Arnold Palmer off the teams in 1957 and 1959. Don January won the PGA Championship in 1967 in July, but was also at home; the only reigning major champion on either team in 1967 was Masters champion Gay Brewer. Nicklaus competed in the Ryder Cup as a player from 1969 through 1981, missing only in 1979. He was the non-playing captain in 1983 and 1987.
In those days there was a rule on the PGA tour that a player had to play/ serve several years on tour before they were eligible to play in ryder cup, not sure why this was ,seemed abit daft, Jack played his first ryder cup in 69
Thankyou this was a historical film.

I worked with Hugh Boyle at Walsall Golf club mid 70's. Great ball striker, fierery temper.
Another brilliant upload Neil. Any Ryder cup footage is great. Thank you.
