  • This film doesn't show the Ryder Cup, it's actually the 1926 British Open. The current date range of 1910-19 therefore needs changing too.

    The location is the Royal Lytham & St Anne's Golf Club in Lancashire.

The Duke of Edinburgh has many talents, but it is his unique way with words that often receives the most attention.
