Golf Movies-Favorites

Hey All!

Thought I would start a discussion about golf movies. Just wanted to hear a few comments about your favorite golf movie. There have been some good ones;

Caddyshack
Tin Cup
Happy Gilmore
The Legend of Bagger Vance
A Gentlemen's Game (w/ Gary Sinise)

...to name a few. Any others?

I would say that my favorite is Tin Cup. I thought Kevin Costner did a great job and Cheech is a great caddy!

gotta be happy gilmore for me
love adam sandler films my kind of humour

"The price is WRONG B*t*h...!!!!"

That scene with Bob Barker is just SOOOOOOOOOO funny......
(and I've never seen the US version, though we did have a locally produced version here for a while...)

LOVE Happy Gilmore, so many subtle references....

And some "not so" subtle...

But, thats Adam Sandler for you...

It is a classic.

Cheers

I am old school so I would have to go with "Follow The Sun" with Glen Ford playing the part of Ben Hogan. I am a Hogan fan, and not Ford. I will also agree that when compared with the new movies on golf, that "Follow The Sun" is pretty bland in comparison. I saw Hogan playing his way back after his car wreck. That part of the movie is quite accurate. As for the newer movies, I am partial to "Tin Cup" and the simple humor involved. I think Gary McCord had alot to do with the part of the movie where "Cup" hitting out of a bunker with a shovel. Happy Gilmore is also a good one since Sandler's character reminds me of one of my great grandsons. GJS

I thought Tin Cup was a great film and story.

I recently saw The Legend of Bagger Vance, the story line was not as good but the guy that played Bobby Jones had a beautiful golf swing in the film.

Probably have to go with Happy Gilmore. My favorite line in the movie was,
and this may not be quite the exact words, "If I dressed like that, I'd have to kick my own ass". I can't remember the title, but I recently watched a Movie on HBO about Bobby Jones that wasn't bad. Tin Cup also a favorite.

Shooter - "I eat sh1t like you for breakfast!"
Happy - "You eat sh1t for breakfast???"

Tin Cup quote;

"When a defining moment comes along, you can do one of two things. Define the moment, or let the moment define you."

And my favorite all time quote from Tin Cup;

"Golf and sex are two things you can enjoy even if you're not good at them."

Another great moment between Roy (Costner) and Romeo (Cheech);

Roy McAvoy: This is everything, ain't it? This is the choice it comes down to - this is our immortality
Romeo: You don't need to be thinking immortality - you need to be thinking hit the 7 iron!

And then later;
Romeo: Now THAT was a defining moment. And the definition was SH1T!

Classic!
