      The sign to a hole at the Vista Creek golf course shows the name of the real course - Canyon Meadows. This is seen at the toward the beginning of the movie, when Peter and his friend see Allister McGrath sneak off onto the course and fire off a few balls.

    Wasn't National Lampoon famous for doing comedy?
    I think the concept for "Golf Punks" was something like, "Caddyshack" meets "The Bad News Bears". Trouble with that idea is that those films are some 15-20 years old. At the end of the 1990s, is there still a demand among moviegoers (or even video renters) for ragtag-band-of-lovable-losers-wins-the-big-match flicks?

    National Lampoon used to attach its name to funny movies a long, long time ago. Remember "Animal House"? The "Vacation" series? For the past dozen years or so, quality has steadily declined. With "Golf Punks," National Lampoon has hit bottom. I can't recall another comedy so completely laugh-free. There's no humor, no drama, no triumph of the human spirit, no nothing. Just a few silly camera tricks that give the impression that the movie was made by a few high school students fooling around in the editing room.

    Maybe National Lampoon will bounce back. If it's any consolation, it's hard to see how it can get any worse than this.
