 Danny Noonan is a young caddy at Bushwood Country Club who has no idea about where his future will lead. His best chance at getting his life on track is to earn a caddy scholarship from Judge Elihu Smails, the owner of the Country Club. Al Czervik is a rude, and overly eccentric millionaire who has interests in purchasing Bushwood. Judge Smails shows a quick disliking towards Al and soon there is a conflict between the Judge and Al, the Judge and Danny, and even between the Judge and Ty Webb the charming golfer who is slowly helping Danny figure out his real goals. On the outside of this is Carl Spackler the Golf Course Grounds keeper, who's goal is eliminate a rampaging gopher who is chewing up holes throughout the golf course.
West-central Illinois may be dealing with spring storms and floods, but more than a few golfers are eyeing area courses for enough drainage to play a round. To help celebrate the season and the sport once dubbed "a good walk ruined," downtown Peoria's Apollo Theater is screening the 1980 comedy "Caddyshack" one night only on Saturday March 21. Starring Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase and Michael O'Keefe, the 1980 romp is a sophomoric delight, filled with goofy golf and a class war between the likeable rich guy and sneering snobs like the club president (ex-"Mary Tyler Moore Show" star Ted Knight).
As a gopher-hunting groundskeeper, Murray steals the scenes he's in, as does Chase in his Zen-like playing style, and golf could never again be completely considered an elitist undertaking. Written and directed by Harold Ramis, it also features Brian Doyle-Murray. |
