Drafthouse does ultimate "CaddyShack'

Let's Go, While We're Young ...

Golf isn't just for dorks and rich people. If you like booze and Bill Murray, couldn't you find plaid knickers tasty, especially if a Baby Ruth were involved? Candy bars and good times are sure to be had this Saturday when Caddyshack, arguably the coolest golf movie of all time, ushers in the Alamo Drafthouse's 2004 Rolling Roadshow season at Manor's Shadowglen Golf Course. Large buckets of balls and the Yuppie Pricks – a fitting complement to the ethos of golf and BMWs that infects the world today – should enhance the mood as you iron out your frustrations on a manicured range poetically illuminated with cinema. "Their message of the importance of capitalism and the undeniable power of the corporate structure is one that the lazy, slacker layabouts of this town need to hear," insists Drafthouse owner Tim League. "If they can rise out of their drug-addled haze and listen, the Yuppie Pricks have something important to say!" Listen and learn. The Ultimate Caddyshack Experience is about earning your enlightenment. Loaner clubs will be provided for novices or anyone else in the nascent stages of capitalist cool. Conform with any of four ticket options, ranging from $10 (just the movie and a Baby Ruth) to $39 (the movie, your own cart, glow-in-the-dark balls for night golf, and a Baby Ruth candy bar). A nine-hole day of golf begins at 4pm, the Yuppie Pricks serenade trickle-down hip at 8pm, and Bill Murray and Harold Ramis make sweet cinematic golf love at 8:30pm. Watch out for gophers. Call 476-1320 or consult www.drafthouse.com for more.
