Movies Starring Golf Balls

The Greatest Game Ever Played
A faithful adaptation of the book that plays well on the big screen. It’s the original David and Goliath sports story.
Tin Cup
This Kevin Costner vehicle strikes the perfect pitch. It also helps that Costner can actually play.
Dead Solid Perfect
This movie starring Randy Quaid is all about life on the pro tours. It’s based on the book of the same name by Dan Jenkins.
Happy Gilmore
Whether or not you’re a fan of Adam Sandler, you’ll enjoy this hilarious movie about a hockey player whose slapshot produces insane drives.
Follow the Sun
Glenn Ford stars in the life story of Ben Hogan. If you’ve seen 1950s biopics of athletes, you know how cheesy they can be. This one is better than most, and Hogan’s story is an amazing one.
Caddyshack
Ok. It’s a comedy classic, but I can’t rank it any higher as a golf movie.. Watching it as an adult, it doesn’t seem as funny as it once did. But hey, Most golfers completely disagree, so here it is.
The Legend of Bagger Vance
Based on the bestselling book. I didn’t really like this movie after the first couple of viewings but Will Smith and Matt Damon are charismatic enough.
Bobby Jones - Stroke of Genius
The life story of Bobby Jones stars Jim Caviezel. A bit overwrought, and Caviezel doesn’t replicate Jones’ swing very well but he does a good job of portraying the stress that Jones went through in playing in golf championships.
Pat and Mike
A Spencer Tracy - Katharine Hepburn classic. Hepburn plays a championship woman golfer. The movie is basically another of their man vs woman screwball comedies.
