I recently took up playing golf and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to any great golf movies out there. I've seen both Caddyshacks, Happy Gilmore and The legend of Bagger Vance, but would like to see more. So if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to pass along. Thanks!

You probably need to check out
The Greatest Game Ever Played
. I thought it was OK, although others have a higher opinion of it, and there's not likely many choices in any case. At the least Bill Paxton makes a great effort to convey what goes into the game.
Never saw
Tin Cup
, but that's likely another possibility.

Tin Cup is great, if you haven't seen it.
If you like oldies, you might check out Pat & Mike. It's a 1952 comedy with Spencer Tracy as a sports agent/manager and Katharine Hepburn as an athlete that he puts on the women's golf tour. Charles Bronson and Chuck Connors have early roles in this. -

Sorry, coming in a little late on this. Sadly, there just aren't that many good golf movies out there. "Tin Cup" and "The Greatest Game Ever Played" are probably two of the best. I've never seen "Bobby Jones: Stroke Of Genius", but it's probably worth a look. And from way, way back, the 1951 Ben Hogan biopic "Follow The Sun" with Glenn Ford is pretty good.

Randy Quaid in "Dead Solid Perfect."
Fairly realistic, funny and entertaining!
