Caddyshack Family Review
Caddyshack Summary
An exclusive golf course has to deal with a brash new member and a destructive dancing gopher.Something fishy is going on at the elitist Bushwood Country Club, and the scheming president of the clubhouse, Judge Elihu Smails, has something to do with it. But suave golf guru Ty Webb and distasteful, filthy rich construction magnate Al Czervik are on to him. Meanwhile, young caddie Danny Noonan struggles to get his life back on track, and the only way to do it is by winning the demanding Caddie Day golf tournament, a prestigious competition that can earn him a scholarship from the judge himself. Now, war breaks out and all bets are off. Will Danny ever make his dream come true? Does he know that a subterranean menace is threatening to put in jeopardy everyone's plans?—Nick RiganasComical goings-on at an exclusive golf club. All the members are wealthy and eccentric, and all the staff are poor and slightly-less eccentric. The main character is 'Danny'; he's a caddie who will do almost anything to raise money to go to college. There are many subplots, including the assistant groundskeeper's pursuit of a cute (obviously stuffed) gopher.—Rob HartillDanny Noonan is a young caddie 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 caddie scholarship from Judge Elihu Smails, the owner of the Country Club. Al Czervik is a rude, overly-eccentric millionaire who has interests in purchasing Bushwood. Judge Smails shows a quick dislike 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 club's groundskeeper, who is determined to eliminate a rampaging gopher who is chewing up holes throughout the golf course.—jezzy t
