The popularity of golf in the last couple of years is put into context in this sweeping video tour. Golf: Links in Time is a historic overview of the game, the courses, and the people of golf. Highlighting golf courses in some of the most beautiful places in the world and featuring such masters as Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan, this video is a wonderful tribute to the enduring appeal of golf. ~ Ed Atkinson, Rovi

Golf analyst Steve Melnyk narrates as viewers are shown footage of some of the finest shots ever made in the game of golf. There are clips of Jack Nicklaus playing in the final round of the 1972 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and Arnold Palmer making his magnificent 346-yard drive during the 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills. Cameras also captured Curtis Strange putting his way to victory in the 1988 U.S. Open. True fans are likely to recall Jerry Pate's handling of his five-iron at the 1976 U.S. Open and the winning holes made by Larry Mize, Bob Tway, and Mickey Wright. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi

Martin and Lewis tee each other off on a PGA tour in The Caddy. Harvey Miller (Jerry Lewis) is an expert with his golf club, except when he tries to play in front of a crowd -- then he completely loses control. With his mind set on getting into the PGA one way or another, he latches onto Joe Anthony (Dean Martin), a stylish gadabout. Harvey teaches Joe everything he knows about the game, and when Joe enters a tournament, Harvey does too -- as his caddy. But while the golf fans still make Harvey go wild, laid-back Joe feeds upon their applause. As Joe's game improves, his ego grows, and he begins to think Harvey is useless and wants to take the tour alone. The Caddy introduced the Dean Martin classic That's Amore to the world of kitsch and features a bevy of real life professional golfers in cameo roles -- including Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, and Julius Boros. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi
