Best Golf Movies
Caddyshack
The most famous golf movie is Caddyshack, starring Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield and well, a bunch of other noname actors. It’s not everyones cup of tea but most golfers, including Tiger Woods, rate this as their favourite golf movie. It’s got some cheesy, idiotic humor and a few gratuitous breast shots of Lacy Underall, the hottie who is a bit of golf skank. You can check out a couple of scenes from Caddyshack in our miscellaneous golf video section. The movie is now 27 years old, and its classic golf outlaw versus golfs establishment. Some cat on IMDB (the Internet Movie Database for you cave dwellers) went as far to say that Caddyshack is one of the top five funniest movies of all time. He might have been puffing the magic dragon, but it’s definitely the best and funniest golf movie to be mad.
Our next golf movie is Tin Cup, which stars Kevin “bumface” Costner and Rene Russo, with Cheech Chong and Don Johnson. There’s also a couple of cameo appearances from some PGA tour pros including The Walrus Graig Stadler and Phil Mickelson. Tin Cup is about a washed up golf pro who qualifies for the US Open. Kevin Costner does an ok job as Roy McAvoy aka “Tin Cup” and his swing could pass for a Pro’s if you didn’t know much about golf. The best part is the ending, but don’t worry we wont spoil it for you. Many golfers will relate to Tin Cups temper and frustration for the game and the producers did a good job of consulting pro’s and industry experts to make it as realistic as possible. Still, it’s a movie so don’t expect it to be exactly like what happens out on the tour. My ratingg (hold one and halt thumbs up) – That’s one and half thumbs up.
Next up is Happy Gilmore, starring Adam Sandler, who plays an ex hockey player with a bad temper who discovers he can hit the ball 400 yards with his unique run and smash it style. It’s totally unbelievable, and a bit stupid, but there are some funny scenes including one where Happy and Bob Barker from the Price is Right have a bit of punch up. Again its golf outlaw vs the establishment and Shooter McGavin played by Christopher McDonald does a sweet job of playing the golf snob. There’s a very unnecessary side plot with Happys grandmother, only saved by Ben Stiller making a short appearance as the old peoples home enforcer. You can definitely watch it twice and there’s also a clip or two on the golfuncut.com website. The shear absurdity is both what makes it funny and prevents it from being any funnier. Now that I’ve confused myself with that last sentence it’s time to watch the next golf movie video.
Other golf movies worth a watch once are The Legend of Baggar Vance, which we think totally sucks but golfers seem to enjoy it. The Legend of Bobby Jones, a bit too serious for our taste, and The Greatest Game Ever Played, which was surprisingly good with a warm fuzzy ending. Some golf movies in the making are supposed to be the classic golf novel Golf in the Kingdom. Clint Eastwood is supposed to be trying to produce it but we don’t know if that ones off the ground yet. For the best golf DVD, you gotta check out Tiger Woods Authorised DVD collection. This is a must have for any Tiger Woods fan you will get Tiger Wood watching this.
