A raunchy comic classic that still generates laughs

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2015)

The primary story here is about a young caddy named Danny Noonan, played by Michael O'Keefe, who wants to win the Caddy Tournament, so that he can have enough money to go to college. Along the way, we meet Danny's mentor, the demented Ty Webb (Chevy Chase), a professional golfer who really doesn't give a damn about golf, if the truth be told, Judge Smalls (Ted Knight), the tightly wound president of the Country Club who finds himself in a battle of wills with one Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield), a rich slob who wreaks havoc at the club and makes an instant enemy out of Smails and Carl (Bill Murray), a nutty grounds keeper who finds himself in battle with one wild gopher who is digging holes all over the golf course.
This movie provides non-stop laughs from start to finish and features a soundtrack that is a dream to lovers of music from the late 1970's. Dangerfield and Murray provide the lion's share of the laughs here and, if the truth be told, Ted Knight has never been seen to better advantage. A comedy classic that just gets funnier with age.
