Did You Know - Tin Cup Edition
7 Awesome, Hilarious Facts You Never Knew About Tin Cup
1. Chip Beck at the 1993 Masters was the inspiration for the movie.
During the final round of the 1993 Masters, Beck trailed Bernhard Langer by three with four holes to play, yet he laid up on the par-5 15th at Augusta National. The conservative approach didn't pay off (Langer won by four), but it gave Ron Shelton the idea he needed for his movie. Shelton, who directed and co-wrote Tin Cup, talked to John Norville, who co-wrote the film with him, after he saw Beck's lay up on 15.
"When Chip Beck laid up, we immediately called each other and said, That's the key to our guy: He won't lay up!" Shelton said.
3. The punch shot that Costner hit from the bar that knocked the pelican off a post was based off something McCord actually did.
"We were in Pensacola, and me and a few other players were trapped in our condo during a rainout," McCord said. "We had nothing to do but gamble. That's what we golfers do. And I see this pelican land on a post. So I said, ‘Hey guys, give me 10 shots and I bet I can knock that pelican off his perch from my bedroom.' So I got up to move the lamp and open the sliding glass doors. I put the ball down, and they're all hiding behind the couch because I'm going to fire off a 4-iron in this condo. I cut it right through the door and it sails right over the pelican's head and he flies off. Best shot I've ever hit."
