...while we're on the subject of golf metaphors, let me turn your attention to The Legend of Bagger Vance, the latest directorial effort from Academy Award-winner Robert Redford. Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, it's the mystical story of a golfer in search of his swing and his soul, and the caddy who helps light the way. It doesn't take an English concentrator to find the metaphor in that. Of course, the trouble with metaphors is that you can only take them so far. After all, not everybody plays golf (in fact, most people...
...Matt Damon '92), the pride of Savannah, Georgia who, prior to going off to war, was one of the most promising golfers in the South-as well as being engaged to the beautiful Adele Invergordon (Charlize Theron), the daughter of a rich entrepeneur who owned the luxurious Krewe Island Golf Resort.

This spring the company is adding a line of garish golf shoes--sans the hidden pocket, so stylish duffers will still have to store their tees elsewhere...
...Consider this Gere's honors thesis at the University for Charming Leading Men. Other highlights include Shelly Long as Carolyn, T's plucky assistant, and Tara Reid as the doctor's conspiracy-obsessed daughter (she gives enthusiastic tours of the grassy knoll). Helen Hunt, usually dependable, plays Bree, the golf instructor Dr. T becomes romantically involved with after his wife is committed to a mental institution. The character, who is smart but cold, is an odd fit for Hunt. The Academy Award-winning actress can do better than this measly, unlikable role-Bree is clearly half-baked...
