** Many characters in the movie were based on real-life people from Indian Hill Country Club regulars. Several employees had Irish accents. Ty, the club pro, was based on a member as were the elderly couple who could barely swing their clubs. According to a book by Bill Murray, he would caddy for a man who had trouble hitting anything. Until his bosses caught him, he routinely wrote the man down for holes-in-one.
** Despite the passage of time and popularity of the movie, the Indian Hill management will not discuss "Caddyshack" at all. Nowhere on the grounds is there a mention of it at all.
** Well, almost. The pro shop does sell Bushwood Country Club and gopher-themed belts.
** A member whispered to the author of the article: "Not all our members appreciate 'Caddyshack.' "
** Caddies in "Caddyshack" accept tops. Caddies at Indian Hill do not.
