So maybe golf trails basketball, football, baseball, hockey, NASCAR -- and possibly wrestling -- in our national consciousness. Yet, golf movies (often featuring big stars) tend to be pretty impressive nevertheless. The reason? The sport has both class conflicts to explore and traditions to mock. We've ranked our ten favorite golf movies on or over par. (On this course, par is 100.) See which movie ends up on top of the leader board.
New Moon's Jacob Black takes on the lupine stars of The Wolfman, The Howling, and more.
How do Roland Emmerich's two most recent annihilations of the Earth stack up against each other? Hint: He may have run out of ideas.
Ian McKellen's starred in some of the best American movies of the past twenty years. How many have you seen?
Golf has been more popular than before. In fact, Maria Verchenova, 23 years old, and a rising star of women’s golf have made a heavy impact in the Ladies European Tour. It was quite an achievement that she was the first Russian to appear on the tour. Verchenova was known for her fierce determination and an uncanny ability on the long ball, dueling with LPGA legend Annika Sorenstam at the Dubai Ladies’ Master. She won't likely need debt consolidation, as Maria Verchenova is primed for a long and distinguished career.
I also happen to be a fan of golf movies. A site called Golfers Unite that I often visit has recently been discussing what we think are the top golf movies.
