“Pin-Up” of the Week: Bushwood Country Club Pin/Button

With an all star cast consisting of Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, Michael O’Keefe, and Bill Murray, Caddyshack will go down as one of the funniest sports movies of all time.  Directed by Harold Ramis, Caddyshack did for golf what National Lampoon’s Animal House did for fraternities and Police Academy did for law enforcement.  If you haven’t seen it, you’re really missing out.

Caddyshack takes place at the fictional Bushwood Country Club.  The main story line follows caddy Danny Noonan in his effort to save money for college and attempt to win the caddy scholarship.  But there are truck loads of side stories to follow as well.  One in particular deals with the groundskeeper named Carl Spackler played by Bill Murray.  Carl Spackler is on a one man mission to stop a gopher infestation that has riddled Bushwood Country Club.  In his many tries, he almost starts World War III.

I’ve always thought it was cool when fictional organizations from the movies get their own merchandise.  It makes it feel almost as if its real.  Caddyshack has it’s share of merchandise, including a whole line of Bushwood Country Club stuff.  This pin/button isn’t rare and only costs $5.00.
