Disc golf in a movie

[TimSyl]

Maybe someone has mentioned this previously and I didn't see it. Was watching a crappy Hallmark Movie Channel movie yesterday with the wife (she does get the remote sometimes)...movie was called "Cloudy with a Chance of Love" and was made in 2014. It was about a woman in the meteorological program at Pacific University. She was also a weekend weather girl on TV. (Yep, told you it was crappy). However, in the middle of the movie she took her love interest to a fundraising Disc Golf Tournament. She showed him briefly how to snap. The guy tried a couple putts on a portable basket and airmailed them. It was probably five minutes or so of screen time referencing disc golf.

Looks like a GREAT movie!


They really needed to show her parking one to give the "she's better than he is" vibe!

The problem is at 45:35 (yeah I kept watching) the guy flipping burgers is just flipping raw burgers over. Can't wait to watch the rest!

Am I the only one looking at this video, wondering why its looks like I am wearing some old school 3d glasses....

Those Hallmark movies are reliably AWESOME. I wonder how much the actors get paid???

Patiently waiting for Cinemax Movie with disc golf in in.

My wife already knows i'd scratch my eyes out before I sat down and watched a Hallmark movie. I'd also have to jab my eardrums out with a stick if I had to listen to the background music, too. So wholesome!
Props for throwing DG in there, though!

Guess they didn't show them toking on a doobie between putts?

That scene is actually in the Director's Cut version of the film.

The piece de resistance of TV movies featuring disc golf as a subplot is the 2001 TV movie Hitched. There will be no greater use of disc golf in film. Ever.

 

[TimSyl]

from Hitched summary...Police detective in charge Cary Grant, who plans to retire and become a professional Frisbee golfer, has an eye on Eve. THAT is funny.

My favorite line from "Hitched"--

"I'm playing at a grandmaster level."

Now there's a launch into a pro career!

If it's not a Hallmark movie i'll check it out!

I love that they are still in their business suits playing Disc Golf. When is the last time I saw someone dressed like that on the DG course? Like, never?

 

[Jenga54]

ever been to a fundraiser for a children's museum that gives a 2 disc player pack? if so, you go try a couple putts, leave the discs there, walk away and go about your business.

I just checked out the clip - no doubt in my mind that the sport is really going to take off now.
The NFL was a small time operation before the Hallmark Channel aired "The Tom Brady Story"

I kid you not, ONCE I have seen this... it was at Brandy Lake Park in Woodruff WI there was a mid 40's dude in his dress shirt and pants, tucked in throwing with a starter Innova bag. His partner was wearing casual clothing.

In regards to this movie, I started it about a minute early before the DG scene, and WOW I don't know how I didn't kill myself watching that, but any exposure of the sport is good......................right?

LOL. I guess if you are have a job that requires that type of dress and you are trying to fit a game in at lunch or something. I sure hope DG never goes mainstream if I'd have to wear that. Don't even think I could drive 75% as far as I do now with those clothes on.

If the previous "MY LIFE!!" poster really has to do that often I feel really bad for you.
