Who's Your Caddy? is a 2007 American comedy film directed by Don Michael Paul .
action
The rich but black music producer Christopher Hawkins, known as "C-Note", wants to become a member of the elite golf and polo club Carolina Pines , which is run by Richard Cummings. Cummings flatly refuses admission and is not to be changed by the amount of a million dollars. C-Note then acquires a large property not far from the golf club, which also includes a piece of the golf course around the famous 17-hole, which has now returned to the property owner after years on loan to Carolina Pines . Richard Cummings is appalled because C-Note only wants to allow the use of the golf course section if he becomes a member of the golf club. The use, in turn, is important for the club, as it should be decided in three weeks whether Carolina Pines will host the US Open .
Cummings hires lawyer Shannon Williams to buy the property from C-Note. C-Note makes it clear to her that he is only interested in membership. Shannon advises Cummings to accept C-Note as a member, as he will certainly break the club's rules during the four-week probationary period and so can be expelled. Although C-Note and his cronies will behave clumsily and rudely on the golf course in the near future, they do not break any club rules. Cummings then hires a group of killers to turn off C-Note. A bomb attack on C-Note can be prevented by Cummings' son Wilson, who discovered his "gangsta side" through C-Note.
Over time, Shannon realizes that Cummings is playing the wrong game. She also fell in love with C-Note and is quitting at Cummings. She also learns why C-Note really wants to go to the club. His father was once a caddy in the club and set a course record, which was not counted, so that Cummings is still the record holder. C-Note goes even further: he creates his own polo team and defeats the Cummings team. He then demands a decision in golf: Whoever loses the game has to leave the golf club. Cummings appears at the tournament in a team with professional Jesper Parnevik , while C-Note receives support from the young and ambitious Caddy Mick. C-Note approaches the game too doggedly, so that his team is far behind halfway through the holes. Only a friend of his father's makes it clear to him that his father was never interested in rivalry, but always in the joy of playing. C-Note and Mick find their way back into the game and ultimately win. Cummings, in turn, is arrested shortly after the end of the game for his murder attempt on C-Note. C-Note becomes the new president of the polo and golf club and is allowed to host the US Open a little later.
