Classic Golf Movie Quotes

I admit I am a big movie fan and when I am not playing golf I normally have a movie playing in the background so I thought I would blend two of my favorite hobbies and post some of the classic quotes from these movies.

The first quote is from the movie Bagger Vance which started Will Smith and Matt Damon, in this scene Matt Damon’s character, Rannulph Junuh has just had one of the worse rounds of golf a paying crowd has ever seen and Will Smith as his Caddy Bagger Vance:

Rannulph Junuh: What were you doing out there? I could have killed you.
Bagger Vance: Nah, actually, I positioned myself right in front of you, ’cause from the way your swings were goin’, I figured that was the safest place.

One of my favorite movies that involves golf has to be CaddyShack and a conversation between Chevey Chase as Ty Webb and Ted Knight as Judge Smails:

Judge Smails: Ty, what did you shoot today?
Ty Webb: Oh, Judge, I don’t keep score.
Judge Smails: Then how do you measure yourself with other golfers?
Ty Webb: By height.

And finally a conversation that took place on the final hole at the Open between Roy ‘Tin Cup’ McAvoy (Kevin Costner) and his Caddy Romeo Posar (Cheech Marin) when there is a good chance by keeping his head McAvoy can win the Open as an amateur:

Roy ‘Tin Cup’ McAvoy: This is everything, ain’t it? This is the choice it comes down to — this is our immortality.
Romeo Posar: You don’t need to be thinking immortality — you need to be thinking hit the 7 iron!

Now I know this post isn’t completely golf related and I apologize but due to a previously mentioned stray ball I am having a rest day and will be posting more reviews and tips later this week.
