‘Caddyshack’ is turning 40! Relive some of the movie’s best moments

July 25, 2020, will mark the 40th anniversary of the release of perhaps the greatest golf movie ever made, “Caddyshack.” The 1980 film produced some of the most quoted movie lines ever: “A former greenskeeper … about to become the Masters champion…” …

Bill Murray lights a cigar for Chevy Chase, who shared just one scene in the movie Caddyshack.

Making it work

Bill Murray and Chevy Chase were not the best of friends and during the filming of the movie, they really didn’t get along, due to lingering friction from their days as cast members on Saturday Night Live.

As production of Caddyshack got underway, director Harold Ramis realized there were no scenes featuring Murray and Chase together. So the three got together for a working lunch, with the two actors putting their differences aside to write a scene in which the two could share screen time.

The scene is the one where Chase’s character Ty Webb hits a ball into the house of Murray’s Carl Spackler.
