Augusta National- Suddenly
Camargo- Not another Teen Movie
National- A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Longaberger- To Catch a Thief
Inverness- Two For the Road

Royal Melbourne-Ned Kelly (Where it all began)
NSWGC-Mad Max (During his time in Sydney, Mel Gibson often started fights he couldn't win.)
The Australian-(Breaker Morant) Another case of getting f___ed by someone from overseas.
Ellerston-Malcolm (A gem that no-one gets to see)
Royal Sydney-Muriel's Wedding (It's fun and the site of Sydney's high-profile wedding receptions.)
Portsea-The Year My Voice Broke (Another undiscovered classic set in a small Victorian town.)
St. Andrews Beach-The Coca-Cola Kid (An American Makes good in Oz)
National Moonah-Master and Commander (Another effort by a bloke with a high opinion of himself)

Moonah Links -> Titanic (they had all the resources needed for a classic, and failed)

J. Hoberman's meditation on Andrei Rublev

" . . . takes the form of a chronologically discontinuous pageant . . . the film projects an entire world - or rather the sense that . . . the world itself is trying to force its way through the screen. Undirectable creatures animate Tarkovsky's compositions - a cat bounds across a corpse-strewn church, wild geese flutter over a savaged city. The birch woods are alive with water snakes and crawling ants, the forest floor yields a decomposing swan."

brings to mind the South Portland Municipal Golf Course.
Metaphor is social and shares the table with the objects it intertwines and the attitudes it reconciles. Opinion, like the Michelin inspector, dines alone. - Adam Gopnik, The Table Comes First

Jay, what's the best movie ever made?

That's what I think of the back nine at Pasatiempo, the best nine holes in golf.

interesting topic

i was once asked to compare pine valley and merion and used movie directors as a reference point:

pine valley is a Cecil de Mille movie - big production values

merion is  a Billy Wilder movie (ie. sunset boulevard) more subtle  - but one of the all time greats nonetheless.

Could we call The International something like Apocalypse Now, because they're both REALLY REALLY long?

Are there any courses out there worthy of a Woody Allen name?

good stuff Jay

Cypress is my favorite course I've played so far, so that's my Casablanca

would that (ridiculously?) difficult course in Hawaii be JAWS?

199 played, only Augusta National left to play!
