Thoughts? Here is a trailer.

I think it looks good. Can't be much worse than Tin Cup.

Both of Mark Frost's books are terrific! I would highly recommend them both. That being said, my rule is to always watch the movie first then read the book...if I haven't read the book first. My reasoning is simple: the movie is never as good as the book(few exceptions); if you see the movie first--most likely you'll enjoy the movie--then read the book--you'll enjoy the book and it'll make the movie better. If you do it the other way around; you're almost always dissappointed by the movie. That's just what I've found....

Eveyonw knows the best golf movie ever made was Happy Gilmore! DUH.





Just kidding. Has anyone seen Dead Solid Perfect w/ Randy Quaid. It was an 80's flick. I remembering likng it at the time but back then anything up to small shiny objects could entertain me. I have heard that Casa Blanca is a good golf movie but have never seen it. I perosnally enjoyed Tin Cup just because there was some many one liners to take on the course (I knutted it that one Romes).

Another reply to Caddyshack. I never saw so many people get siked over a candy bar in a pool. See the movie and you would get it.

Funny stuff that is.

And yes i will say again i did like Happy Gilmore. And i do like most Adam Sandler movies. Aint he hilarious.

But mostly i like western and action stuff. Anyway....

Sports movies about actual events should be accurate to the history. It is my understanding that this movie is not. I don't mind them adding to the story but you have to have facts straight.

What did they change?

The only stuff I saw that looked different was some of the romantic interest stuff and a bit about "working for his dad," which wasn't true. If the golf is largely accurate, I'll be satisfied. It's not really a "sports movie" as much as it is a "feel good movie," I think. It's Disney, after all.

You know they're always going to add some sort of "romance". That doesn't bother me. I haven't seen it but it is my understanding the final scores were changed for dramatic effect.

We agree about most things, but not this. I actually liked Tin Cup.

No, it is nowhere near Caddyshack, but I still enjoyed the movie. Probably one of my favorite parts is when he is at his first "session". Molly: Roy, Roy... why are you here? Roy: Therapy. Molly: You've come for therapy? Okay, look, Roy, you know, you really need to make an appointment. Because I have a client in a half an hour. Roy: That's enough time. Thirty minutes? Hell, I'm not THAT F$&*ed up. Also, Renee Russo's look when she sees that he's wearing golf shoes with the spikes taken out is priceless. You guys can tear me apart...whatever...I liked it.

Fairways and Greens.

Liked the part where Romeo (Cheech Marin) gets to Roy (Kevin) out on the range and corrects his problems with his 7-iron. Put change, etc. in the right pocket, and so forth.

The 7-iron "challenge" between Roy and David (Don Johnson) for Roy's Caddy...

The shot Molly sets up for Roy in the clubhouse at the pelican...

Yeah, I liked it, too.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 364: About an hour and a half practice session. Spent most of it at the range. Did a solid 30 minutes of work on my priority piece, with filming. I think it's improving, but will probably check in on Evolvr to make sure. Then spent the last ~20 minutes putting, working mostly on short putts.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.

      This is a great discussion. Other parts of the course where there are houses have white stakes and signs. This keeps people from trespassing and hitting shots on their property. There is another county road on the east side of the course that does not have white stakes like the hole I described. I checked the score card and there is nothing to indicate these roadways are OB. I think a county drainage ditch would be considered government right-of-way so it is the peoples land 🤣. But you are in the power industry and know more about those sorts of things than me.

      Day 3: Worked on backswing. Feel: Matt Wolff, Real: Not yanking it inside and getting it laid off and flat at the top.
