If your an average Joe club golfer this movies for you!!
I just watched it for the umpteenth time and enjoyed as much as I did the first time. I'm a movie buff but a golf nut too and I rarely watch a movie twice let alone multiple times.
However, I'm an avid golfer and have been over 30 yrs since college. And this flick really 'gets' the average duffer and shows so many scenes that we've all experienced or watched at our local clubs. Obnoxious rich guys that can't golf a lick...betting the local ace who never loses a bet, the camaraderie club golfers have, betting on anything and everything, the drinking, the competition and the celebration of great shots... it brings back memories of everybody who's played club golf for many years and the comedy of it all is familiar and lots of fun. It's not an academy award winner but a fun movie with lots of laughs for those of us who've spent many years, weekends and playing hooky from work to play this crazy game. Comical for those who've never played, but much more so for the avid golfer who's a 1 handicap or a 25. And the romance of the main character and his therapist was very cute as well. It's a timeless movie. Golf doesn't change much, only those who play it. Even though it's 25 yrs old at time I write this, if you love golf, it's players and all the shenanigans in between the 1st and 19th hole, you'll find this a treat.
Watch it again old farts or for first time young golfers... it's a good 'guys night out flick' and a hoot with a few friends, beers and shots to go with it.
