JOHNNY MILLER. A KID NAMED SEVE. ROYAL BIRKDALE. If you love golf history, this will be good stuff. Made by Golf Channel, the "Summer of '76" will premiere on Tuesday, July 18, to coincide with Open week.
From Golf Channel (edited):
In July of 1976, America celebrated it's Bicentennial. At the same time, the golf world turned its attention to a sweltering Royal Birkdale along England's West Coast. Johnny Miller was the California golden boy, at one time appearing to be the heir apparent to Jack Nicklaus atop the sport. A fiery and charismatic Spaniard with an uncanny feel for the game, Seve Ballesteros was just 19-years-old, but well on his way to becoming the Arnold Palmer of European golf.
