Favourite golf film?

[ManinBlack]

Don't know whether this has been a topic before. Mine has to be "Caddyshack" Many memorable scenes but the "jobbie in the pool" incident has to be the best. After reading John Daly's autobiography I searched EBay for his favourite movie "Dead Solid Perfect" I eventually found a DVD in the USA, an achievement since it was never officially issued on DVD. It's OK and JD reckons it's a very true depiction of life on the PGA tour. Some nice golf scenery, a bit of humour and gratuitous nudity. If anyone wants to borrow it PM me, as long as you promise to return it.

Tin Cup has to be the best golf movie, although it is far from perfect. Happy Gilmore has most of the best laughs, especially the bit where Happy fights with his pro-am partner, a well known gameshow host. Caddy shack has its moments and Caddyshack 2 has fewer.

Aaaaarrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!

NO just NO!

Is it wrong that I find that film a personal insult, I find myself siding with the "bad guy" on the rare occasions I watch it!

Much prefer Tin Cup or Bagger Vance.

Just bought Happy Gilmore at Play.com for £2.99. It had better be good!

Ditto Tin Cup. Don't know how I haven't seen these yet.

The greatest game ever played is good too. Also check out Seven days in Utopia.

Got to be Tin Cup followed very closely by happy gilmore, but I also loved Bobby Jones a stroke of genius

I like 'The legend of that bugger vince' too, never seen happy gilmore, watched bits of tin cup, must watch it all as it looked ok.

Another vote for Bagger Vance from me. Like Happy Gilmore for pure escapism. Never seen Tin Cup. Hated Caddyshack

I'd have to give the nod to Happy Gimore; it really is hilarious.

Tin Cup comes a very close second and is also excellent.

That's tyhe one I was thinking of - the story of Francis Ouimet winning the US Open in 1913 - as an amateur.
