NOT THE GOPHER 😭🤣 | First Time Watching Caddyshack

Caddyshack follows Danny Noonan (Michael O’Keefe), a young, broke caddy working at the elite Bushwood Country Club. Desperate for money to go to college, Danny tries to impress the club’s wealthy and eccentric members in hopes of earning a scholarship.

The club is controlled by the uptight and snobbish Judge Elihu Smails (Ted Knight), who constantly clashes with loud, unpredictable real-estate tycoon Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield). Their feud escalates into nonstop insults, pranks, and eventually a high-stakes golf showdown.

Meanwhile, the club’s Zen-like groundskeeper Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) becomes obsessed with destroying a mysterious burrowing creature ruining the golf course. His war against the gopher spirals into explosive, cartoonish chaos.

Other memorable characters include:

Ty Webb (Chevy Chase) — the effortlessly cool, philosophical golfer who mentors Danny.

Lacey Underall (Cindy Morgan) — Smails’ flirtatious niece who turns Danny’s summer upside down.

The movie climaxes with a wild final golf match full of cheating, explosions, and hilariously unpredictable twists — perfectly capturing the movie’s chaotic 80s comedy energy.
