==Plot== High school student Danny Noonan is anxious about his future, while he hopes to go to college to avoid being stuck in a [[Dead-end job|menial job]] with no prospects, he is struggling to financially cover tuition. Danny works as a [[caddie]] at the exclusive Bushwood [[country club]] catering to affluent clientele. Though he usually caddies for Ty Webb, a talented golfer and the free-spirited [[Playboy lifestyle|playboy]] son of the club's co-founder, Danny volunteers to caddie for the arrogant Judge Elihu Smails, the club's other co-founder and director of the caddie [[Scholarship|college scholarship program]]. Meanwhile, mentally unstable [[greenskeeper]] Carl Spackler is tasked with killing a destructive [[gopher]] driven onto the course by work on the adjacent property development owned by Al Czervik. The fiery and eccentric [[nouveau riche]] Czervik attends the club as a guest, but his antics quickly annoy Smails. After one encounter, Smails angrily throws his [[putter]], injuring an elderly guest. Danny takes the blame for the incident to earn respect from Smails. At Bushwood's annual [[Independence Day (United States)|Fourth of July]] banquet, Danny and his girlfriend Maggie work as [[waiting staff|wait staff]]. Danny becomes attracted to Smails's promiscuous niece Lacey Underall, who is visiting for the summer; she and Webb begin a brief affair. Later, Danny wins the Caddie Day golf tournament, earning him an invitation from Smails to attend the [[Ceremonial ship launching#United States|christening ceremony]] for his boat at the nearby Rolling Lakes [[Yacht club|Yacht Club]]. There, Czervik disrupts the ceremony and accidentally destroys the boat, while Lacey seduces Danny and the pair go to Smails' house to have sex. Smails returns home and catches them, enraging him as he chases Danny out of the house. Expecting to be fired and have the scholarship revoked, Danny is surprised when Smails only demands that he keeps the misadventure a secret in exchange for receiving the scholarship. Unable to tolerate the uncouth Czervik's presence any longer, Smails announces that Czervik will never be granted membership. Czervik counters that he would never consider being a member and is only interested in buying the club. After an exchange of insults, Czervik proposes a team golf match with Smails and his regular golfing partner Dr. Beeper against Czervik and Webb. Although Webb is reluctant to [[Gambling|play for money]], he agrees to join, and antagonizes Smails by saying that Webb's father never liked Smails. Against club rules, they agree to a $20,000 wager on the match, which quickly doubles to $40,000. During the match the following day, Danny caddies for Smails but becomes frustrated with his constant cheating. Word of the wager spreads, drawing a crowd of club members and employees to observe the game. Smails and Beeper take the lead while both Czervik and Webb struggle. Czervik reacts to Smails' heckling by impulsively doubling the wager to $80,000 per team. When his own ricocheting ball strikes his arm, Czervik feigns an injury in hopes of having the contest declared a draw but learns his team will forfeit unless they find a [[Substitution (sport)|substitute]]. Webb selects Danny, which prompts Smails to revoke the scholarship, but after Czervik promises to compensate Danny, he readily agrees to take Czervik's place. At the final hole, the score is tied. Judge Smails scores a [[Birdie (golf)|birdie]], requiring Danny to complete a difficult [[Putt (golf)|putt]] to draw even. Czervik raises the bet, offering double or nothing on Danny making the putt, which Smails accepts. Danny's putt leaves the ball teetering over the edge of the hole, seemingly costing him the game. At that moment, in his latest attempt to kill the gopher, Carl detonates [[plastic explosive]]s that he has rigged around the golf course, shaking the ground and causing the ball to drop into the hole, handing Danny, Webb, and Czervik victory. Meanwhile, Carl coyly leaves the area after seeing the destruction his explosives have caused. Czervik demands the money from Smails, but he refuses to honor the bet. Figuring this would happen, Czervik sends enforcers after Smails to ensure he pays up. Afterwards, he tells the crowd gathered at the main house that they are all going to get laid. The crowd celebrates. Elsewhere on the course, the gopher emerges from underground unharmed and dances to the song "[[I'm Alright (Kenny Loggins song)|I'm Alright]]" by [[Kenny Loggins]]. <!-- Please review [[WP:FILMPLOT]] before adding text.
