In the "Thomas Crown Affair" (both versions) the character gets involved in a losing gamble trying to chip his ball out of a bunker and in "Enter the Dragon" John Saxon gives several Mafia debt collectors a painful lesson in martial arts for interrupting his game of golf.

Follow the Sun with Glenn Ford is probably the most famous film about golfing. He plays Ben Hogan who is probably in the top 5 of all time golfers. There is also a scene in Falling Down on the golf course. Also check out Bilko when the Colonel is helped by Bilko & Sam Snead, very good.

The Tracy/Hepburn film is PAT AND MIKE.

CAREFREE with ASTAIRE/ROGERS also features golf.

One of the episodes from the Fry/Laurie Jeeves and Wooster series featured a game of golf, where (I think) Barmie Fotheringay Phipps had bought a special all-in-one club (with a buzzer on it to tell him when to hit the ball) from Harrods or Lilywhites and proceeded to thrash everyone.

The Legend of Bagger Vance features golf rather a lot. And it's rather a good film, in spite of the golf.

Pat & Mike. There's also the fantastic sequence in Carefree with Astaire dancing as he hits some very impressive drives.

Edit; sorry, see you've been answered above!

While not a film, Marty Feldman's Lonliness Of A Long Distance Golfer sketch was excellent.

Otley and the Fast Lady for car chases through golf courses - The Avengers 'The Thirteenth Hole' and The Secret Service 'Hole in One' for golf based TV episodes (spot the difference !).

IIRC an incriminating piece of evidence is placed in John Mills car after a game of golf in The Vicious Circle.

Sid Field does his famous golf sketch in 'London Town' (1946) with Jerry Desmonde.

There's also the scene on the golf course in Falling Down with Michael Douglas. It contains some very black humour.

I mentioned that one yesterday Bats, Falling Down was quite a good film. I lived in the USA at the time and it certainly made me think about the everyday stress especially on the Highway.
