~ ~ You can count on one hand the number of good golf movies that have been made down over the years. One of the originals, and still one of the best, is the 1951 film “Follow The Sun”, which is the story of the early life of the late, great Ben Hogan, the legendary American golf pro, directed by Sidney Lanfield and starring Glenn Ford. Another that comes to mind is the comedy “Caddyshack” (1980), directed by Harold Amis and starring Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, and Bill Murray.

To really appreciate this movie all you need is to like a good comedy with a touch of romance added. Although this movie centers around golf, you don't need to like the game to like the movie.

This is my very last review of today, so I have chosen to write about the 1996 "Tin Cup". This is a good film starring Kevin Costner. I feel he has received a lot of bad press over the years about some of his most recent films, but if the press delved further back in his career they will see the true talent behind a few badly made films. This is one such film. It is surprising to see that I am the first one to review such a good film. It may not be one of the newest films but it is just as good as many films that have been released recently. It is great to see Kevin Costner, the way he can and used to be. Although the story is about a golf pro and ...  Read the complete review
