Caddyshack was a send up of country club life

But the older I get the more Bushwood looks like a pretty neat place to be a member.

Hell yeah. Every club is gonna have a Smails type character or group. Most just are there for good golf and something for the family to do.

The doc about them making that movie that came about 15+ years ago is really good. It's called Inside Story: Caddyshack. You can watch it on Prime, I think. Looks like it's also on youtube:

The craziest story is the young girl with the Irish accident who was also in Animal House(Sarah Holcomb) partied too much on set & then completely lost her mind & was institutionalized. Caddyshack was the last movie she ever did. She is supposedly still alive but completely left the entertainment industry & goes by a different name.

Country clubs are great. Gives the paying members a chance to get away from the trashy frickers you have to suffer in public spaces.

The country club in Kosciusko, MS didn't have a golf course when I lived there in the late 60's & early 70's. It just had a clubhouse, a pool and a lake with camping areas. They had another club you could join with a pool and a golf course that was known as the golf club. My parents bought a membership there, mainly for us to swim in the pool, when I was in elementary school, for a couple of years, then switched to the country club when I was in junior high.
My dad didn't golf, so I never knew any of those people.There were some characters with boats at the country club. One guy used to get drunk and beach his jet boat on the bank directly in front of the clubhouse.There were way more hot chicks at the country club. Water skiing was the main activity out there.

Yep, that was indeed a true and crazy story, all right.
But what exactly was her "Irish accident"?
Was she in a car crash in Dublin?
Did she fall and break her nose in Galway?

Now I know the story about a random country club in Mississippi. Thank you I guess

Judge Smails (Ted Knight) may be the single greatest comedic antagonist of all time. He is the glue that holds everything together in the movie. Almost every hilarious part involves him in one way or another!

Even when Carl and Ty meet up in the shack and Ty plays through, the judge isn’t in that scene but Carl discusses cutting his achilles to make his golf swing useless haha.

Paying extra money to go somewhere without any riffraff is one of those things people largely knock until they have access to do it themselves.
Trash people can make what should be an enjoyable experience a complete nightmare: the pool, the beach, a cruise ship, etc.

As I’ve aged he is easily the funniest person in the movie.
The other thing is that he’s a military veteran married kids type and the consummate professional who from what I’ve read got ticked and annoyed at all the younger guys doing drugs etc and not taking their jobs seriously

Took me years to realize that the pool scenes were clearly filmed on different days. Apparently it was hot as blazes when they shot them, and no one thought to keep the pool chlorinated and serviced. In some scenes the pool is a normal blue, but in some other cut scenes, it noticeably had a green tint.
Probably why they had to drain it.

Smails had every right to be annoyed with Czervik and to want him out. He was nouveau riche trash who had no idea how to act appropriately in upper crust society.
And the world genuinely does need ditch diggers too.

I grew up caddying and working outside operations at a prestigious country club. Its uncanny how accurate Caddyshack is about country club life.
