International Pro-Celebrity Golf: The Bing Crosby Cup: Great Britain v USA

on BBC Two England

Two of the legendary names in show business, Bing Crosby and Sean Connery, captain teams of international celebrities in this new series especially recorded for BBC2.
The USA beat Great Britain in the first tournament at Turnberry Hotel by four matches to three. Last year Great Britain reversed that decision and trounced the USA by eight matches to two. Now they meet again at the Gleneagles Hotel for another ten instalments of golfing warfare.
Johnny Miller and Tony Jacklin, the resident professionals, have achieved golfing immortality by winning both the British and American Open titles. Even so, they relish the fresh challenge of partnering, for the USA:
BING CROSBY, EFREM ZIMBALIST JR, BURT LANCASTER, DICK MARTIN, NATHANIEL CROSBY, STEVE FORREST, ADMIRAL ALAN SHEPARD and PHIL HARRIS
and for Great Britain:
SEAN CONNERY, JIMMY TARBUCK, JACKIE STEWART,VAL DOONICAN, PAUL THOMAS, HENRY COOPER, JAMES HUNT, BRUCE FORSYTH and MAX BYGRAVES

This week's match features Tony Jacklin and Sean Connery v Johnny Miller and Bing Crosby
HENRY LONGHURST and BING CROSBY introduce the four-ball matches which are played over nine selected holes of the King's course.
PETER ALLISS commentates on the play and generally keeps everyone in order.
