In the 1996 movie “Tin Cup,” Roy McAvoy wins $400 by after beating a guy using a pink ball and baseball bat off the tee, a shovel from the fairway, a hoe in bunkers and putting with the end of a rake, pool-style.
Dewey Boone, the macho guy McAvoy beats, tells Tin Cup and his caddie, Romeo, “Get the hell off my golf course,” as he slaps the $400 on Romeo’s chest.
It wasn’t exactly like that Sunday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta as Patrick Cantlay won the Tour Championship and the overall FedEx Cup, along with $15 million. Still, several of his clubs are ancient by PGA Tour standards and might only be found in the discount bin at your local golf outlet.
