Shoot Yourself Some Golf

About This Movie

'Shoot Yourself Some Golf' is quite the oddity from 1942. You’ve got Jane Wyman and Ron Reagan, which lends it a certain charm, but the focus is really on the golf lessons from pro Jimmy Thompson. It’s not just a simple showcase; there’s an atmosphere of casual fun, especially during those trick shot segments with Jack Redmond. The pacing is laid-back, almost like a leisurely day on the course, which can be refreshing compared to the frenetic pace of some films from this era. The practical effects, even for a golf movie, have a quaintness that feels sincere. Not every golf nut knows about this one, which makes it all the more interesting for collectors. It's a slice-of-life piece that captures a moment in time, even if it’s not a cinematic milestone.

'Shoot Yourself Some Golf' is a bit of a rarity, often overlooked in collector circles. The film has seen limited releases on vintage formats, making original prints quite scarce. Interest is growing, as more collectors appreciate the charm and unique subject matter of this 1940s piece. It's a nice find for those focused on golf-related cinema or the works of its stars, and it might just surprise you with its laid-back vibe.
