  1. The only golf movie I enjoy where golfing is a main theme-i.e. I don’t think of Goldfinger as a golf film-is Caddyshack.

    1. Hey Flora….Caddyshack is a classic, I only put Goldfinger on the list because fellow hubber Steve Lensman strongly felt the movie should be included on the golf list.

    1. Hey mentalist acer….I assume you will be watching Caddyshack 1 and Rollerball the original….that sounds like a nice night of movies…..however a night of Caddyshack 2 and Rollerball remake…sounds like a long long night of movies….thanks for the comments.

        1. What a relief mentalist acer……I was worried that you might be watching Caddyshack 2 and the Chris Klein version of Rollerblade….lol…..by the way I have voted for you as best poet on hubpages on their new contest.
