Hey guys!

For the past couple days I've been working on a new website, and even though I know it's incredibly tacky and against the rules to post it here, I'm going to do so anyway, even though a moderator will delete my links and I may be punished if I continue. I thought you would enjoy this one, so hear it is!

One of the best parts of golf are the movies producers put up. Believe it or not, there's hundreds of quality, fun-filled, dramatic, or romantic golf movies. As Oscar upon Oscar overflows the directors, take a seat and read our list of the best golf movies ever made....

Let me know what you think! looking forward to it!

Without looking at the link, I'll tell you, there are only 4 golf movies you need in your library..... - Caddyshack - The Greatest Game Ever Played - The Legend of Bagger Vance - Tin Cup Truth be told, you could get by with the first two...... And before it happens, I'll go on record right now and opine that anyone who even mentions Happy Gilmore should be immediately banned!

I love Happy Gilmore , but no way would I put it higher than Caddyshack . Good call on the The Greatest Game Ever Played top spot though, I find myself watching part of that movie every time I come across it on Golf Channel-I'd say that movie and Caddyshack are tied for best in my book.

Is this supposed to be a joke?

Is it me or is it really rude, not simply "tacky", to go and post links to your own website in the forums of another website hat has SPECIFIC rules against promoting outside sites and products?

Would it be outlandish of me to say that there really aren't any great golf movies? Those are probably the four best, but I don't really love any of them.

Not at all ... Totally agree. GGEP is the best for me, and it's just "pretty decent." Caddyshack has been somewhat overplayed ... At least to the point that I just roll my eyes everytime I hear somebody say "..., which is nice." ;)

I had high hopes for Golf in Kingdom but only made about 10 mins in before I made a snap judgement ("This is CRAP", I said to myself) and turned it off. I never got around to giving it a second chance.

Slightly off topic but when I started looking around for a golf forum to hang out on the first one that interested me was The Shivas Irons Society, I figured that it HAD to be a cool site. Sadly they missed the mark as badly as the movie did.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I think the same about almost all sports movies. For me it's probably that actors have a very hard time duplicating the mechanics of professional athletes. Every time I see an actor swing a golf club, baseball bat, or throw a football or baseball when they are supposed to be portraying a professional I cringe a little.

That said, I still enjoy them enough to watch.

P.S. I think Kevin Costner comes closer to looking natural in baseball or golf than most actors. Can't say the same for Don Johnson or Mat Damon, although I think they are good actors.

Yeah, I edited @Kelzzy 's first post before merging it into this thread since it was basically "go read my blog article!"

Happy Gilmore.

I think Tin Cup is TERRIBLE and I shudder every time I see it on the Golf Channel. Greatest Game is getting old too.

We need more golf movies.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
