The Best Golf Movie You Should Never Miss for This Christmas

The Best Golf Movie You Should Never Miss for This Christmas

Just think, Tiger Woods will have a lonely Christmas this year. Either, a handful of coquettish women will throw themselves on him. Anyhow, you don't want to have such a dark holiday, right? Prepare for the worst, try to find some classic golf movies now.

1. Caddyshack (1980)Caddyshack in No. 1, you guys simply nod accordingly, and then that’s that? OK, first, Caddyshack is one of the most quotable movies of all time. I’m not just talking golf, sports or comedy … I’m talking all movies, not golf jokes. Chevy Chase and Bill Murray hang out in a scene and improvise, because producers realized they didn’t have any scenes with the two big stars. Judge Smails (Ted Knight) might be the funniest guy to hate in a movie ever. Lacey Underall (Cindy Morgan) defines 80s sexy. Let’s just end this with some Caddyshack quotes and be done with it, I’ve got to hit the links. Come along caddy, come along.

2. Tin Cup (1996)Every time this film is on TV, I’m sucked in. It’s ridiculously rewatchable. The film is perfectly cast. Both Costner and Don Johnson look like they can golf. Russo proves that cougars aren’t anything new, and Marin actually makes me laugh. No other golf movie on the list makes me want to get up and go golfing more than this one. What’s my one gripe? Roy ‘Tin Cup’ McAvoy (great nickname) takes a 3-wood and nails it (eventually) for a very memorable final hole. The problem is, a 3-wood would cause the ball to roll, yet this ball bites. Thankfully, the film doesn’t bite. Fanny Christmas golf? Look no further than Tin Cup.

3. Dead Solid Perfect (1988)This movie starring Randy Quaid is all about life on the pro tours. It's based on the book of the same name by Dan Jenkins - the best golf book ever written. But that's another list. Occasionally there’s a naked girl walking the hall back to your hotel room with an ice bucket balanced on her head that will eventually ruin your marriage. That’s life on the tour, under golf rule restraint.

4. "Happy Gilmore"Name another movie that features appearances by both Bob Barker and Lee Trevino. Go ahead - I dare ya! Can't do it - this is the only one. Whether you're a fan of Adam Sandler(great downswing player right?) or not, you'll enjoy this nutty flick about a hockey player whose slapshot produces prodigious drives.
