Steve Carell Hits the Clubs for New Film

Comic actor will play a golfer in his next film role

Caddyshack, Happy Gilmore…Missing Links?

Even if you don't spend all your time watching the Golf Channel, you still have to be pleased Steve Carell has decided to make a comedy set in the world of golf, according to the Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business blog.

Why? Because as those other movies prove, golf can be really, really funny. (The Legend of Bagger Vance, notwithstanding).

Based on a novel by ESPN's Rick Reilly, Missing Links features a foursome who conspire to graduate from their shoddy municipal course—one in which an elevated train passes through—to play at a fancy-shmancy local club nearby. Hijinks, we imagine, ensue.

Can't wait to see who accidentally gets hit in the groin first.
