![]() Murray might seem like he doesn't take golf seriously, but he does, with a handicap around 8. Golf expertise: The game has been a part of his life since growing up in Chicago, where he worked as a caddie and part-time greenskeeper. Though he’s known for his wild antics and colorful outfits on the course, he’s a serious player, with a handicap that hovers around 8. In 1999, he wrote “Cinderella Story: My Life in Golf,” about his love of the game, and in 2002 he and his brothers starred in “The Sweet Spot,” which documented their adventures on the links. What he means to the game: Murray is synonymous with the AT&T National Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where he entertains the galleries and TV audiences almost every year. Murray’s love of the game, blended with his tongue-in-cheek irreverence, has likely made the game seem hip to young people. Quotable: “In the immortal words of Jean-Paul Sartre, ‘Au revoir, gopher.’” — Murray as Carl Spackler in “Caddyshack,” while preparing to blow up a gopher.
