| 114.1 | The BABE | MDVAX1::TATUM | | Wed Jun 03 1987 20:13 | 5 |
| The BABE DETRIECHSON (ZAHARIAS) STORY (sp?) was on recently. It
is a movie about her life including a bout with cancer and her come
back. Very uplifting and a bit of a tear jerker. Surprisingly,
the actors' swings are pretty good! I like this movie, and your
kids can watch it too!

| 114.2 | Do Stooges count ? | CHAMP2::TLYNCH | | Mon Jun 22 1987 19:58 | 4 |

How about the Three Stooges assault on a golf course ?
Certainly one of my favorites. The best scene was
Curly doing his laudry with the ball washer !

| 114.3 | Keep Your Eye On That Ball | DICKNS::F_MCGOWAN | | Mon Jun 22 1987 22:41 | 4 |
| Puleeze!!! The Stooges? Au contraire...the best comedy routine ever
done involving golf was W.C. Fields's, in which he throws his ball,
his clubs AND his caddy into the water hazard in frustration!

| 114.4 | Jerry Lewis teaching Hogan | ADVAX::CLOSE | | Tue Jun 30 1987 22:17 | 12 |
| There's a Martin/Lewis movie from about 1954, I think it's called
The Caddy. Dino is a poor guy trying to make it on the tour. Jerry
is his caddy. Predictable hi-jinks, and the NY Times would say.
But there's lots of golf, songs about golf, etc. And one priceless
scene in which, for some reason, Jerry is up in a tree, out on the
limb that hangs over a tee. Hogan is teeing off. It's really Hogan.
Jerry keeps knocking needles down, and bark, and stuff. Ben keeps
stepping away. Finally, Jerry falls out right in front of him. If
I remember correctly, he then give Hogan some pointers on his swing!

| 114.5 | You missed the best one! | VIRGO::MURPHY | I want you to kill all the gophers... | Mon Oct 26 1987 21:32 | 20 |
| I can't believe that no one mentioned "Follow the Sun" - the Ben
Hogan story.
This film stars Glen Ford as Ben Hogan and was produced, I think,
in 1954 after Ben had completed his comeback from his near-fatal
bus accident. It is an inspirational movie that starts out with
Ben as a penniless rabbit on the tour, driving from tournament to
tournament, becoming an established pro (The Best Ever) and then
meeting that Greyhound. The movie details Hogan's death watch, recovery
and eventual victory over his crippling injuries.
Some of the best scenes feature Hogan's contemporaries (Snead, Middlecoff,
Nelson) in golf action with Hogan. (The swing should be recognizable
- it is actually Hogan wearing a mask and makeup to look like Glen
Ford making the swings.)
The one problem is that this is seen every eon or so on those Sundays
between the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl (when there is nothing else
to watch). I have sworn that if it is ever on TV again that I will
tape it....

| I can't believe no one entered one of the all time greats: Norton
and Cramden taking golf lessons. Ralph lies to his boss about what
a great player he is. Of course Ralphy baby has never played a day
in his life. Who does he solicit for help? Why Norton of course.
The knickers on Ralph are classic. Don't forget the priceless line
where Ed shows Ralph how to "address" the ball HELLOOO BALL!
Has anyone heard of Caddyshack II coming out this summer?

| 114.7 | W.C.'s good, but... | WFOVX6::MORRISON | the scream of the butterfly. | Sat May 07 1988 20:14 | 10 |
|
Another good line from the Stooge's golf episode is the one
where Moe is hacking his way down the fairway about 3 feet at a
time. The goundskeeper is screaming that Moe is destroying the
course. Moe turns to the groundskeeper and says, "I must be getting
better, the divots are getting smaller."

| 114.9 | oops | ESPN::BLAISDELL | Longshot for the Challenge Cup | Wed Oct 25 1989 09:30 | 8 |

Well there were two goofs. _Follow the Sun_ was scheduled to
be aired last night at Midnight instead of tonight which I listed
in .8 . Sorry. The second goof was that the Family Channel
aired another movie instead, _The Gambler From Nachez_ . I'll
keep a lookout for FTS in the future.
