Movies about golfing are usually for entertainment purposes only and should not be taken seriously. While golfers and others will enjoy the storyline, characters, and outcomes, they should be careful not to critique the actual golf round being played as they are fictionalized through editing and camera tricks most of the time. While actors may play golf in their spare time, they are usually not able to perform most of the tricks they seem to perform during the movie.
But this does not mean that movies about golf are boring or invaluable. In fact, any movie that has a good theme, actors, and storyline should do well even if the stunts are unrealistic. Three movies about golf that were popular with audiences include 'Tin Cup', 'The Legend of Bagger Vance', and 'Happy Gilmore'. While each of these movies centers around golf, they are very different in theme, style, and outcome. There are many other movies that feature golf in the background.
When watching golf movies, you can get an idea of some of the courses you would like to play. Most of these courses are real and are open to the public. You can get an idea of the difficulty of the course and if it is one you would like to play. Many people are inspired by movies that feature interesting locations and want to visit to learn more about these places. Even if you just want to pratise golf, you can visit these courses to see what they are like when playing a real game of golf.
Another advantage of watching these movies is that you can get a sense of how golf has evolved over time. Stories about golf that depict its beginnings are very interesting and filled with facts you might not have known before. You will see people golfing using golf clubs and other equipment you may not have seen until now. This is a great learning experience for anyone who enjoys golf and the history of golf.

Golf Decade
By: Tinny | 27/12/2009Most underrated player: Kenny Perry. If he had won the 2009 Masters like he could have (or maybe should have), Perry wouldn't be far from a Hall of Fame career. Because he works the ball only one direction and has a unique swing, he doesn't get enough credit for having more wins (14) than David Toms, Jim Furyk or Justin Leonard.
