Dead Solid Perfect, a good movie to watch

I agree with you. But in order for the best scene to be aired, it may need to be on HBO, Cinemax and the like. The Golf Channel will edit it.
Love the book and the movieDead Solid Perfect, a good movie to watch
The scene where the girl is walking in the hotel hallway naked with an ice bucket on her head?Hmm, trying to think which scene you are referring to?
I have five that come to mind. The Greatest Game, Caddyshack, Tin Cup, Bagger Vance, Happy Gilmore. To be honest those may not be in order though the first one I name would be my favorite.
TGG: Nice movie, uplifting, gives an insight as to how far golf has come from being a "rich man's game." Maybe not as much actual golf as I would like, especially early on.
Caddyshack: Bill Murray. Enough said. Funniest golf movie ever made.
Tin Cup: Basically "Bull Durham" in golf. Some great lines and I liked that they brought in some PGA players to give the movie some realism and humor. I loved Cheech Marin in this movie, he was the best part of it. "Chilly-peppers up Lee Janzen's ass" is something I always think about when I'm on the range.
Bagger Vance: I had high hopes for this movie and had read the book long before it was given to Robert Redford to screw it up on the screen. Hey Sundance, it ain't a love story, duh. The movie was a big disappointment to me. I like Will Smith but when I read the book I was thinking of his character as more of a James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman part. If it was me, I would have given the part to James Earl Jones, Morgan has had plenty of times to play God. I read that Matt Damon couldn't hit the ball worth a crap (not like Costner who is quite athletic) so they just wanted to make sure his swing looked right in filming.
Happy Gilmore: Not really a golf movie but anytime someone can beat the crap out of of Bob Barker and make it funny it has my kudos.
Anyway, just my $0.02 worth. I looked and didn't see another post about golf movies so I posted this.
This is my answer.
Ditto. Caddyshack and Tin Cup, although I admit to watching Bagger Vance too many times to count. My wife was initially ambivalent about Bagger Vance. I believe she loathes that movie now...
I always love Caddyshack as a cult classic. I didn't see The Greatest Game until recently but that is probably my favorite "true" golf movie now...has anyone seen The Squeeze?
Oh dear...I've only seen a little bit of that one, but what I saw was not amazing haha.
It brings me around to the fact that there aren't many non-comedy golf movies. Greatest Game Ever Played is the only decent one that comes to mind.
Caddyshack without a doubt as I play weekly with most of those guys.
Big hopes for the screen edition of Michael Murphy's "Golf in the Kingdom" if they ever get it done.
Seven Days in Utopia is good.
Hmm, trying to think which scene you are referring to?
Yep, healthy young lady there . That was Dan Jenkins (the author of the book) she runs into on her trip to the ice machine.There was the scene where Connie Bohrer, for the lack of a better term, was partying with Dennis Quaid in his bed. But the scene to which I refer was when she went to the ice machine.
I think you got the wrong Quaid
