Greatest Hits - Golf Movies

Just turned on TV, first thing I finished watching was Happy Gilmore, then turned over to Back to the Future and finished that, then Caddyshack came on and of course the Masters soon followed. What a great day of television. In honor of the Masters this week, numerous television channels are broadcasting every great golf film made. Which in hindsight are only a few films, but great films nonetheless. Here are my top 4:

4.) The Greatest Game Ever Played
"A golf drama based on the true story of the 1913 US Open, where 20-year-old Francis Ouimet defeated his idol, 1900 US Open champion, Englishman, Harry Vardon."

3.) The Legend of Bagger Vance
"A down-and-out golfer attempts to recover his game and his life with help from a mystical caddy."

2.) Happy Gilmore
"A rejected hockey player puts his skills to the golf course to save his grandmother's house"

1.) Caddyshack
"An exclusive golf course has to deal with a brash new member and a destructive dancing gopher."
