I will need to check out Follow the Sun with Glenn Ford. I checked the credits and Slammin Sammy Snead is in it as well as other golfers.

Very good movie.

Really shows how great his marriage was and what they went through eating oranges and crackers and "following the sun" and then "Steak!"

Also, I like The Greatest Game Ever Played even though I heard it's not 100% accurate.
That kid is the best.

Tin Cup vote here, followed closely by Happy Gilmore

Those who have netflix, check out "The Back Nine". It's a documentary type of approach of a regular joe going through the journey of competitive golf. I really enjoyed it.

As for favorite movie: it's a toss up between Greatest Game Ever Played and Tin Cup.

I'm gonna go with Caddyshack, Legend/Bagger Vance and The Greatest Game Ever Played
[/quote]

These are my favs as well.

[gopherguts]

Hands down - Greatest Game Ever Played.

Bagger Vance is very good.

Like Tin Cup of course but that 3 wood shot that hits and trickles up virtually hole high AND THEN rolls back into the water just creeps me out. Impossible for that to happen.

I have to say happy gilmore, tin cup and the greatest game ever played

[RMS29]

Legend of Bagger Vance...good movie about life and golf.

1. Greatest Game Ever Played
2. Tin Cup
3. Bagger Vance

[RainShadow]

The greatest game ever played.
My absolute favorite golf movie. Heck, my wife even loves it and actually asks for it every couple of months.
Tin Cup is pretty good, and of course Caddy Shack.
After reading Bagger Vance, the movie doesn't seem as good, but it's on the list as well.

The [u][b]Greatest Game ever Played[/b][/u]- story of Francis Ouimiet. VG film even by Disney standards!!!!

[FuryofRich]

Tin cup and Happy Gilmore

[Jack Pearsall]

I like to watch The Legend 0f Bagger Vance as it is so laughably awful, I get a real hoot out of it. Imagine, a staid southerner just 20 years past the turn of the century listening to some raggity black dude with a lisp telling him to look for his [i]schwing[/i] in the field...seriously hilarious stuff. That Matt Damon is such a card, having a hard time being attracted to Ms Theron -- talk about fantasy!!!!

[Duster66]

1. The Greatest Game Ever Played (Read it, roll it, hole it.) Best putting advice I ever got from a movie.
2. Tin Cup (Unnhh, he's doing the Arnold Palmer thing.)
3. The Legend of Bagger Vance (Oh no sir. See I set myself directly in front of ya. Judgin' how you were hittin' them balls that's where I figure I'd be out of harms way.)

Sorry no Caddyshack. Its one SNL skit from beginning to end but with boobs.

[Slayer32]

Tin Cup!! loved the part when they were warming up at us open scene. hahaha..sometimes is scary to be at the driving range

[chas521]

"The Greatest Game Ever Played" is the best golf movie ever made IMHO.

[Llortamaisey]

Goldfinger

[6thFairway]

Bobby Jones Stroke of Genius isn't bad. I'm surprised it's not getting more mentions here.

[Jim Clark]

For comedic value: Caddyshack (Nicklaus said it's his favorite movie)
True stories: The Greatest Game Ever Played, Bobby Jones Stroke of Genius, and Follow The Sun
Fiction/Fantasy: Dead Solid Perfect (my personal favorite), Tin Cup gets honorable mention as does Bagger Vance

[WilCox]

Dead Solid Perfect
