Classic Movie Lines in the Mouths of Golfers

By: | Fri 16 Feb 2018


There are some great lines from movies. Lines that stick in your head. Lines that you hear and you can immediately identify the film from which they came. We love the movies and we also love golf. So we have put the two together ahead of the BAFTAs and Academy Awards. We have taken some classic one-liners and put them in the mouths of some players who just might have uttered the self same words. And in case you get stuck, we also give you some reminders of which movies they came from and who originally said them.
