Golf Films
PAT AND MIKE was the Tracy-Hepburn picture about golf which was directed by George Cukor. The film also featured the celebrated woman golfer, 'Babe" Zaharias. A film called BABE, about Zaharias, who died very young from cancer, was made in 1975 with Susan Clark. Glenn Ford starred in FOLLOW THE SUN, a bio-pic of the great golfer, Ben Hogan. None of these were British, of course!
I heard a joke about a week ago; it could have been on one of the 'which decade was the greatest for TV comedy?' shows. Can anybody remember who said, when asked, "Do you spend much time on the golf course?", replied, "Not during the day."
