The greatest golf film ever, with the possible exception of Happy Gilmore. Ok so a great golf film is not that great a recommendation but this is true chevy chase style 80's comedy. A young caddy wants to earn his right to go to college but he has to impress the pompous Judge Smails at the golf club to get his scholarship. He befriends the carefree Chase who gives lots of useless advice to achieve the success he has achieved. Chase is probably the best player at the club but does not compete until the judge gets up his nose. The local slob of a property developer joins the club and breaks all the rules of etiquette, much to the annoyance of the judge, then when the developer sinks the judge's boat they challenge each other to a round, the loser to disappear into the sunset. The story is peppered with some great moments including a fantastic performance from Bill Murray as the assistant greenkeeper, who goes to the most extreme lengths to rid the course of a cheeky gopher. Murray helps make the film what it is with his muttering insults and his lusting over some of the more senior women golfers. In the end the young caddy nearly blows his chances with the judge by sleeping with his rather kinky niece but eventually as you may expect he gets away with it. Its a true classic even if it certainly wont be everyone's cup of tea, but being a golfer myself I love to see anything which makes fun of the sport as there is a lot of room for humour in it. It certainly wont leave you over par, bound to shoot a birdie...etc.
