I'd have to go with Happy Gilmore, the scene where Bob Barker beats up Adam Sandler never gets old.

From a golf perspective, Happy Gilmore is terrible from a comedy perspective its great.

Follow the Sun, another great call.

DSP is older (1980s) and was a B movie, so I doubt its even available on DVD, but if you like Tin Cup, you'll love DSP. Randy Quaid was the lead and if memory serves he is a pretty formidable player. The thing I hated about Tin Cup was Costner's swing was brutal as was Matt Damon's in Bagger Vance. Whomever played Bobby Jones in Bagger Vance however had a fantastic swing.

Tin Cup. I have it ripped to my ipod and have the file on my desktop, so I watch different parts of it frequently, and the whole thing if I have some time to kill.

if you haven't seen The Greatest Game Ever Played, you need to take a look. Very well done. I do love Tin Cup myself and Bagger Vance is great if you're as obsessed with golf as I am. Caddyshack and Happy Gilmore are great, but just doesn't see as golfy to me.

Is "The Foursome" thought of as a "golf" movie or just a movie with golf in it?

It would definitely have to be Happy Gilmore.

I used to like The Legend of Bagger Vance when I first watched it a few years ago when it came out, but upon seing it again fairly recently, I realized it was quite terrible overall, with a few decent moments in it.

Legend of Bagger Vance
The Tiger Woods story (when it comes out)

Caddyshack was funny, the scene of Rodney dancing on the golf course is a classic. So was when Ted Knight tells that caddy who is trying to get him to pay for college, "The world needs ditch diggers too." I tell that to my students when they fail a test (as a joke).

Somehow I accidentally posted this to the wrong thread...but,

It's unfortunate the time period The Greatest Game Ever Played is set in is 1913, because Shia LeBeouf's semi-love interest was pretty hot. And of course since she was wearing clothing of that period, she's covered from neck to toe. If there was a way they could have made the movie current (yes, I know it was based on a true story), where she's sporting the short shorts and skinny tanktop, I would be all for it.

That being said, Cindy Morgan was smokin' in Caddyshack.

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I know it is probably dependent on a lot of factors, but how windy does it have to be out before you need to start guessing on how much it would influence the break of your putt?  When I played at Bandon, it was like 25-30 mph winds. The caddies talked about the wind negating break. The only time I had it visually influence my putt was on hole 18 at Bandon Dunes. My missed my putt on the high side of a pretty severe breaking putt. The slope around the hole was in the 2-3 degree range. As the ball was about to come to a stop, the wind gusted and pushed the ball half a rotation into the cup.  The rest of the week I thought it had no influence at all. I was thinking, is it just over thinking to try to account for the wind?

      Day 310 - 2025-08-06 Went downtown in the late afternoon and got nearly two hours of work in. Not a ton of breaks. Was blasting the TS at the end, from a HomePod and two TVs. 😄

      Bryson DeChambeau Videos

      I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.

      Top of the Bag Gapping and Strategies.

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.
