Get ready for golf week with these movies!  I do every year.  I’ve always liked them and I’ve always liked golf.  Ever since my wife and I moved to Augusta in 2016, they’ve just hit a little differently.  This has sort of become my own tradition and I actually don’t do this for any other sport.  Every resident who stays in town knows what this week is about.  Even if you couldn’t get a pass on the course, it’s fun to go out and strike up conversations at bars and restaurants.  Who knows, you might even realize that your neighbor’s Airbnb might be housing a golfer for the week.  Get ready for golf week with these movies and enjoy the week!

  • Happy Gilmore - 1996

    One of my all time favorite movies in general and easily one of the best golf movies.

  • Tin Cup - 1996

    Sports and romantic comedies don’t always mix, but this one tees you up for laughs and will have you rooting for the underdog.  Careful watching this one with the family.

  • Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius - 2004

    Bobby Jones founded and helped design Augusta National.  He also co-founded the Masters Tournament.  Unfortunately he had to retire from the game at only 28 years old.  He was one of the most influential figures of the game.

  • The Legend of Bagger Vance - 2000

    This stars Will Smith and Matt Damon.  A golfer who’s going through rough times enters a tournament, only to be encouraged and advised by a mystical caddie.

  • The Greatest Game Ever Played - 2005

    This is a Disney movie staring Shia Labeouf.  He plays a young golfer who has an incredible amount of skill for his age.  He leaves his Dad’s store to eventually take on the best golfer in the world at one of golfs biggest tournament.

  • Caddyshack - 1980

    A classic.  That is all.

  • Caddyshack 2 - 1988

    A decent follow-up to the first one and it just doesn’t get enough credit.
