Director Harold Ramis assembled a team of comedy Avengers for "Caddyshack." The 1980 film stars Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and Ted Knight as they navigate the snobbish world of the exclusive Bushwood Country Club. It's considered one of the greatest sports comedies of all time, with lines people are quoting 45 years later. What sport does the film "Caddyshack" revolve around?

Golf drives the entire plot of "Caddyshack," from Danny's caddie gig to Judge Smails' scholarship program to Carl's epic war against that damn gopher. Harold Ramis had to shop around for a country club willing to let Hollywood trash their greens, and most of the fancy places told him to take a hike. Rolling Hills Golf and Tennis Club in Davie, Florida finally said yes, which turned out to be par for the course since the cast spent 11 weeks racing golf carts around the fairways while completely wasted. When they filmed the explosive finale where Carl tries to blow up the gopher, the pyrotechnics were so intense that a pilot flying into Fort Lauderdale called the control tower thinking a plane had crashed.
