Bad Golf My Way (1994 Video)
8/10
Very Leslie Nielsen...
27 April 2003
Warning: Spoilers
This is quite a funny video if you can get your hands on it, in which Leslie Nielsen, as himself, tees of at Blue Springs Golf Club in Colarado, in an attempt to teach a lesson to arrogant club champion Brad van Courtland. With the help of his caddy Bob Donner, Nielsen takes some of the tricks he first showcased in 'Bad Golf Made Easier" and applies them here, along with some new material.

****POSSIBLE SPOILERS******

Leslie and Bob the Caddy escort Brad around the course on their cart, as Nielsen and the champ play a high-stakes game with big bucks for the winner. As the match begins, Nielsen not only starts to implement his own unique brand of golfplay to the game, he also submits van Courtland to a gradual, subliminal, but definite psychological battering.

"Brad, a golfer of your quality sees everything, hears everything. You know its true what Nicklaus said, the finest golfer is so perceptive, he can literally hear a person changing their mind." With this kind of exaggerated flattery, some interesting interpretations of "the rules", and a much neglected technique of adding 50-100 yards to the drive - dressing up as a woman and shooting from the Ladies tee - Leslie attempts to distract, annoy, and harass his opponent to the verge of insanity (and beyond, as it proves after one incident on the last green with a "mongosse").

All in all this is funny and off the wall, Nielsen doing his "straight man" routine to a tee, which is great, but only if you're a fan already.
