Favorite Golf Movies?


Recommended Posts

Anyone have any favorite golf movies/documentaries available to stream? Documentaries a plus for me. I'm currently, as in right this moment depending on when you read this, watching "The Short Game." So far so good.

The series "Hogan" that Golf Films did was really awesome. I'm not sure where it is available to be streamed, but I'm sure some hunting on YouTube would pop up results.

Here's a link to the Golf Films website. Looks like they have a bunch of different series available: https://www.golf-films.com/

I'll look into that. Looks like they've got a bunch of films available. Good call.

Arnie the series on the Golf Channel was really cool. It offered alot of insight and was offered in different parts so it didn't need to be watched all in one sitting. In just a general golf movie-- can't go wrong with tin cup!!! "Give me another ball Romeo!" 🤣

... Kinda funny but I hated Tin Cup the first time I saw it. Previews made it seem like it was about a US Open and of course it barely looks like a Satellite Tour event. But once I knew it wasn't about golf but more a buddy movie involving some golf, it became one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I have probably seen it close to 20 times.

It has to be The Greatest Game Ever Played for me. Nothing like a young Shia Labeouf to make a movie worth watching! Just kidding, he's pretty average in this one. It's a great story though, and Ouimet's caddy is a phenomenal character.

This is perfect thread for being stuck indoors every day.   

This past weekend my newspaper ran the Associated Press selections for top 25 sports movies of all time.  They polled 70 sports writers.   One golf movie: Caddyshack at #4 overall.   Actually thought that was high when considering every sports movie, but I would probably have it in my personal top 5.  

I think Caddyshack, Happy Gilmore, and Tin Cup are the holy trinity of golf flicks.   Haven't seen The Greatest Game Ever Played.  Will give that a look based on these suggestions.

My only complaint is the filmmakers didn't follow actual events very closely.  Far too many inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the movie for my OCD.  This is one instance where the book really does blow the freakin doors off the movie. 

Still a good movie but more fiction than non-fiction!

Caddyshack, Happy Gilmore/Legend of Bagger Vance, Tin Cup... In that order. Happy gilmore is hard not to put at #1 spot. Any of these could be watched from minute 1 or the last minute. Channel never leaves once you find it!
