Marty Feldman Long range golfer

Shame Marty died so young he was a comedy genius R.I.P Marty 🇬🇧🇬🇧

I remember this like it was yesterday...have not seen in years and years...GREAT !!!!!!...Thanks for posting

The effort that went into that! Particularly the two trains meeting so the golfer on one could hit the ball resting on the other one! Superb, intelligent writing, and beautifully performed. His "silent" sketches were easily as strong as his spoken ones, a quality he shares with Benny Hill and Dave Allen. :-)

Saw this as a kid and it made me want to play golf. Hysterical.

I remember this and hoped to see it again one day. Priceless!

Some of Marty's filming done in the village I grew up in, the church scene is Harmondsworth. The film crew wanted to use my Nan's window for the bathroom scene...my Nan refused! The coach trip sketch he did features a fair few views of my village, and people sadly no longer with us.

This is like a live version of The Roadrunner! :-)

One of the funniest sketches ever from one of the funniest men ever from one of the best sketch comedy shows i've seen! It was shown in USA as a summer replacement show in the early 70's and i still remember it fondly. I would love to see the photographer sketch ("one more please") or the flower shop sketch again! Bless you Marty, Peace to you.

This was on tv today , never heard of the guy ! Love It!

Fantastic. I really laughed at this.

I love youtube! I have thought of this scene for years now. I love the passing trains scene the best.

Brilliant, brilliant Marty! Thanks so much for posting this. Only Marty could make putting funny!

Priceless!

The title being a reference to Alan Sillitoe's The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.

Great guy, sadly missed x

Thanks that was funny 😂

That hole was a par 80 by the looks.

Brilliant!

Marty was a rare genius in the field of comedy.

This is te sketch I most remember from Marty Feldman.

my sides are killing me! the train, WWAAAAAAAHA HA HA HA! MARTY ROCKS!

You just don't get stuff like this these days!

I recognise that military railway. 🤔

This was filmed at the Liphook Target Golf Range and the Longmoor Military Railway (LMR). In June 1969 I did a weekend cadet camp there-the railway ran from Liss via Liphook to Bordon run by the Royal Engineers. We looked around the sheds and that big engine (General) Gordon was in there. The railway was shut later that year and dismantled. We were doing rifle practice near where he is on the train before going into the under bridge where Gordon runs him down. Gordon lost his head in Khartoum!

Smoking while playing golf must be the coolest thing ever.

Didn't Rowan Atkinson had a similar sketch where he chased his golfbal all around town? Maybe it was inspired by this =D

Muy bueno!

isn't that LMR steam loco No. 600 "Gordon" who's now at the SVR?

@Skevvy Oh the flowershop sketch! that is on the same DVD this came from. I'll try and upload it for you as soon as I can.

There's only one Maurice Flitcroft 😏😏

@MeinKleinerTiger Yes, he did.

Maurice Flitcroft!!

Does anyone know anything about the music that is been played here?

Ah Marty, I wouldn’t of chosen to pretend to be anyone else.

I’ve heard of crazy golf,but this takes the biscuit! Was that Tiger Woods coming out of the tunnel?

ES DIOS

I see who Ernie Els was copying

The bit when Marty came out the tunnel black face wouldn't get away with that now cause some snowflake will get offended and say it's racist

It's NOT Long RANGE Golfer - get your facts right!!
