One of my favourite scenes in Caddyshack is when Bill Murray describes, with a pitchfork in his hand, the occasion he caddied for the Dalai Lama – “The flowing robes… Striking.” His fabrication of the long-hitting Lama probably stems from some hallucinatory dream induced by the special “grass” he cultivates.
I watched the film (again) the other day and the scene made me remember a weird golfing dream I had some years ago. It was while I was at university in St Andrews. Some sort of summit was held in town which was attended by Nelson Mandela – he met the Commonwealth leaders, I think.
