as far as serious movies go, bagger vance and greatest game were both great. and caddyshack and happy gilmore were really funny. hard to pick out one in particular, but i'm going to go with greatest game, ftw.

I'll vote for Bagger Vance.

Has to be Tin Cup , but Bagger Vance is right ip there as well as The Greatest Game Ever Played .

Actually, If the movie Babe is on the tube, I'd stop & watch it again (starring Susan Clark as the Babe with Alex Karras).

How about I give you one of the WORST movies ever made that happens to be about golf: Caddyshack II..I'd still like to punch Jackie Mason in the mouth for that heap of crap!

My all time favorite is a gentleman's game, I am surprised nobody has mentioned it.

caddyshack is the best!!!!:):):)

It has its moments. The final putt dropping in because the psychotic (assistant?) greenskeeper is using dynamite to blow up a stuffed gopher is a a poor ending though.

Call it what you will, it's not funny. Maybe it's just my humor though. I guess I expect comedians to make me laugh, but maybe that's asking too much.

Oh, it looks good on you though.

Thanks. I'm flattered. I work out. We're gonna have to end this relationship before my wife finds out though.

I love "Caddyshack" for lots of laughs. For a serious and interesting movie, I still watch "Bobby Jones---A Stroke of Genius". The relationship between Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones is well documented----fierce competitors (the top pro vs. the top amateur), but there was a great deal of mutual respect. Both of them wrote very highly about the other in their autobiographies. They both were on top of their games during "The Golden Age of Sport". That included Babe Ruth, Red Grange, Bill Tilden, Jack Dempsey, etc.

How can you possibly choose between Caddyshack or Tin Cup. Both are so perfect

Caddy Shack is great but my favorite all time golf film is The Greatest Game Ever Played. This film is inspiring and moving.

    • Day 2 (4 Apr 25) - played in the weekly men’s group shootout.  Decent day off the tee and most longer approaches.  Wedges from 70-80 out were off, but green side work was good. Overall a fun day with the crew.  
    • $50??? You're not serious, I'm sure. The only thing a $50 driver will be good for is to whip your horse  as you're rounding the far turn heading into the home stretch. Seriously, go to a big box store. They all have used clubs up the wazoo and you should be able to find clubs at a reasonable price. Also, talk to the guys there. You'll be able to tell just by conversing with them which ones are interested in helping you and will provide good advise. Those companies are usually pretty good about weeding out the bad apples who are only interested in making a quick sale. The commission the big box stores pay is so miniscucle anyway that sales guys are usually brand agnostic.
    • Day 13: 4/4/25 Stack Full Speed Spectrum training session.
    • Day 186 - 2025-04-04 Worked before lessons this morning. Not a long time as the first lesson arrived pretty early.
    • Strata are decent clubs for newbies, usually furnished in a complete boxed set, with putter and bag. They're an excellent way to get going in the game and to see if you want to stick with it. If you don't, you're not out too much money but if you want to progress, you should get fit and buy better clubs with newer technology that will help you out. Most places I know of (ie: Golf Galaxy / PGA Store) charge you for the fitting which is then credited back to you when you buy the clubs, so it's essentially free. (I know GG does that...not sure about PGA.) Once you have clubs that fit you rather than you having to maybe contort yourself to fit the clubs (depending on your height/arm length/swing characteristics) you can progress and get better. Ultimately though, as the saying goes, "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian."
