- Synopsis:
St Andrews: Behind the Greens opens the doors to the hidden world of St Andrews Golf course; birthplace of the worlds? fastest growing sport and home to a whole host of eccentric characters. With this affectionate portrait we are introduced to an army of caddies, green keepers and rangers who live and breath Golf as they have done for over 500 years. Behind the idyllic scenery and gentle pace of life at St Andrews each day brings a new drama. Tough-talking Caddy Manager Rick MacKenzie tells of losing teeth and having his brake wires cut by disgruntled Caddies, meanwhile St Andrews is hosting its first Women's British Open. Celebrity A-Listers like Hugh Grant and Dennis Hopper (featured) rub shoulders with the ladies putting club, and while superstars, celebrities and world leaders come and go, the ever-philosophical Caddy Jimmy Reid laments those unwilling to listen to the veterans tips. This absorbing documentary gives expression to a milieu of lively characters still entrenched in age-old rituals and traditions, and united by an attachment to St Andrews and a love of Golf. - Genres:
