Sunday Funnies: Celebrity Golf (1960)

 In the 50's & 60's, Sam Snead was one of the biggest names on the pro golf tour. To that end, independent producer Jerry Fredericks approached him about building a weekly challenge series pitting him against not fellow golfers, but celebrities.

Celebrity Golf, however, lasted just one season. Reruns would surface several years later on the Golf Channel (now part of NBC-Universal-Comcast). Harry Von Zell (The Burns & Allen Show) is host/commentator.

Following is a sample episode with Jerry Lewis. Part of the open has been edited off.


The pop-up trivia notes are part of the Golf Channel package, not the original broadcast.

No rating. Just a public service.
