Golf Movies

I just got done watching both Bagger Vance and Stroke of Genius.
Stroke of Genius was IMHO a great movie. I would compare it to The Search for Bobby Fisher. I never knew anything about Bobby Jones.
I guess Tiger never won a Grand Slam. They will probably make a movie about Tiger before too long.
I think a better title for Bagger Vance would have been titled Junau. After all, that is who the movie is about. I thought the character of Bagger Vance was too cheesy. Especially, the walking away scene.
Maybe there is a movie out there about Hagen?
I seen Tin Cup a long time ago, but it was kind of boring.
Caddy Shack was a funny movie naturally.
Happy Gilmore is a slap stick kind of movie.
The Simpsons with Bart and Todd Flanders playing minature Golf.
Phil Nickleson? I am not a golf trivia expert, but I kind of wonder who the greats were? Nice if they did movies about them.

Tin Cup boring???!!! Are we talking about the same film here? Thought it was a most amusing film with Kevin Costner and especially Cheech Marin excellent in it. AND it has IMHO, without doubt, one of the best climax of any sporting film.

Tiger woods is the only golfer ever to win the Grand Slam and hold all 4 titles at the same time. Most people thought that it would be impossible for a player to do it.
