First person to say "Caddyshack" gets to bang Lacey Underall.

Woohoo!

I haven't watched too many golf films. Tin Cup, Happy Gilmore, etc., to name a few.
The one I liked the most was "The Greatest Game Ever Played".

I'll keep that movie 'The Legend of Bagger Vance' in mind. My next trip to Blockbusters, I'll see if they have a copy.
Thanks,

Dan

Since noone mentioned it yet I'm gonna have to lay down the monster of all golf movies."golf balls". This movie has everything you'd expect from a 70's erotic film without any sex. It's got everything from breasts to breasts. the only thing it really lacks is a story..
In all reality the movie is a joke and imo is not even as funny as caddy shack which i think is overrated and not the funniest. might be worth a watch though if you can find it. Has all the golf jokes you'd come to expect in a golf comedy. Guy gets hit in the nuts with golf ball. guy falls into water hazard. guy records par on his scorecard 20 strokes later.guy whos blind hits golf ball into guy's nuts. And of course a tournament to finish the movie.

I like all those movies. Tin Cup would probably be my favorite except for the hokey ending. I just don't like that he made a 12 on the 72nd hole. I don't care that he lost but nobody would keep trying to hit that shot in the US Open.

Caddyshack had an equally hokey ending but it was a hokey movie so it's acceptable.

I guess this would be my Top 3:

1. The Legend of Bagger Vance
2. The Greatest Game Ever Played
3. Tin Cup

My equipment:

Driver - Callaway FT3 Fusion (9 degree)
3 Wood - Orlimar Tri-Metal (9 degree)
Hybrids - Bobby Jones (17, 21 & 25 degree)

Irons - KZG XCB 5 - PW

Wedges - Warrior (52 & 56 degree)

Putter - STX Envision

Ball of choice - Callaway TOUR i(s)

I really really want to see Dead Solid Perfect but it's impossible to find. Once I saw it in the TV listings an hour AFTER it ended . . .man was I bummed.

Seen the rest and pretty much agree. My favorites are Tin Cup and A Gentleman's Game. My least favorite is the Bobby Jones one .. man was that boring. I love golf and will watch almost anything golf related but that was toooo boring. And CaddyShack II sucked. I agree with whoever suggested smacking Jackie Mason in the mouth for that one.

Tin Cup is definitely my favorite. Caddyshack is a close second. Bagger Vance and Greatest Game Ever Played are pretty solid. Bobby Jones:Stroke of Genius is overrated and A Gentleman's Game is just horrible. I'd love to see Dead Solid Perfect, but it isn't on DVD yet. My local library has it on VHS but I haven't had a VCR in years.

Best golf scene in a non-golf movie: The Thomas Crowne Affair. Either one, it's the same scene in both.

Not a big fan of golf movies. Yeah, I just said that. I do like movies where people happen to play golf among other things - like real life.

I hate to admit this, but I watched an MTV series because the first time I saw it they were hitting range balls in the back yard.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

I was not aware another movie of any kind existed after Caddyshack. I assumed that they had achieved perfection in 1 shot....

http://raremoviedvd.com/dead-solid-p...988-p-430.html No idea if it's legit, but a risk of $13 through PayPal doesn't seem excessive.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

      I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
