He then shoves his driver out of the way, put its engines into high gear, and tries to park near Smails' party, causing much damage (and [[HilarityEnsues hilarity]]) in the process.

->'''Al Czervik''': Hey everybody! We're all gonna get laid!\\
''(roar of applause)''
A film starring Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, and Ted Knight. BillMurray also had a small part in it, but his improvised stuff was so great he became one of the stars.
Danny Noonan is a young caddy at Bushwood Country Club who has no idea about where his future will lead. His best chance at getting his life on track is to earn a caddy scholarship from Judge Elihu Smails (Knight), the owner of Bushwood. Al Czervik (Dangerfield) is a rude and eccentric millionaire who has an interest in purchasing Bushwood. Judge Smails discovers an instant dislike towards Al and soon there is conflict between the Judge and Al, the Judge and Danny, and the Judge and Ty Webb (Chase), the charming golfer who is helping Danny figure out his real goals. Meanwhile, Carl Spackler (Murray), Bushwood's Groundskeeper, battles a rampaging gopher who is chewing holes throughout the course.

* BlindfoldedVision: Ty hitting over the water onto the green whilst blindfolded
