This month CNN's Golf show Living Golf mixes comedy and commerce. The special plays a round with the actor behind one of cinema’s favourite golfing heroes, Caddyshack, and visits the lucrative world of the British Open. The show airs on 11,18 and 25 August at 6 pm.

The small and tranquil town of Sandwich in south-east England was converted into a vibrant and hectic mini-economy as the host of this year’s British Open golf championship. Living Golf goes inside the Open economy, exploring the intricacies of this massive money-spinning event.

In another corner of the British Isles, in Northern Ireland the show's anchor Becky Anderson tees off with Michael O’Keefe. The actor starred in the 1980’s US hit comedy film Caddyshack. More than twenty years after the movie was released, Living Golf explores the comical world of his then alter-ego Danny Noonan, an ambitious young caddie hoping to gain his scholarship at the elite Bushwood Country Club.

The show moves on from a comedy caddie to the real thing as Living Golf teams up with England’s Simon Wakefield and his caddie Roy Robinson at this year’s Open to see how they prepare for one of the most important events in the golfing calendar. The half-hour programme also meets Dr. Antoni Jakubowski, the chiropractor to golf’s elite, as he explains the physical stress and the pain behind the game.

In addition to the usual weekly round-up of tour news and results from around the world, Living Golf’s professional Stephen Dundas from the Bernard Gallagher Golf Academy puts the latest pitching wedges to the test. He breaks down the golfing jargon in precisely 90 seconds.
