Susan King of the LA Times wrote a piece earlier this week that I wish I had conceived. The article is about "best golf movies." This unusual movie category tends to feature comedies that lean toward raucous laughter rather than refined humor. That's OK.My favorite of the films King cites is W.C. Fields' 1930 short The Golf Specialist. Fields had a marvelous way of using his body for laughs. Golf's contortions were made to order for Fields, who performed in silent movies, talkies, and vaudeville. If you like Fields' golf movie, you'll probably enjoy anything he does around a billiard table as well.
