Anyone know of any official Disney videos or television broadcasts that feature footage of the various WDW golf courses? My dad retired from Disney at the end of 2010 after 39+ years of working on the Palm, Magnolia, and Bonnet Creek courses, and I'm looking to put together a tribute video for a family gathering we're having later this year in his honor.

Thanks in advance!

I would bet there are a few seconds of footage in each of the annual planning videos.

Searched on YouTube for "Walt Disney World Golf" and found this:

Thanks Horizons and DisneyFanatic001! YouTube did yield a handful of videos that will prove useful (including the ones above). I found two or three vacation planning videos (circa 1996-2000) as well, which do feature a few seconds of footage.

A REAL film maker would fly down and get their own footage!

Touche, Horizons! But I'll just have to work with what I can get my hands on in the meantime.

After 39+ years, your dad is probably ****** tired of looking at those ******* golf courses anyway! :P

Here's my idea of retirement:
