\n The star of the hit golf film \u201cCaddyshack\u201d is looking for a real-life encore.<\/p>\n

Michael O\u2019Keefe, who played Danny Noonan in \u201cCaddyshack,\u201d reminisced for Golf.com how he finessed his audition for the lead role while also asserting his quest to serve as a real caddy at this year\u2019s US Open.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, almost a half-century later, I\u2019m ready to take my caddying to the next level,\u201d O\u2019Keefe wrote with the help of Michael Arkush. \u201cI\u2019m serving notice that I\u2019m available for, interested in and worthy of carrying a bag for any professional (or amateur) in the field at this year\u2019s U.S. Open.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 1980 film centers around a country club caddy tournament that O\u2019Keefe\u2019s caddie character wins. With its crude humor, the film won the hearts of many.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Keefe recalled how during his audition the producers asked him two questions: \u201cCan you play golf? Can you caddie?\u201d He said he lied that he could play golf, noting that he had to learn quickly. But O\u2019Keefe did have caddying experience, having caddied at Winged Foot in 1971 and 1972.<\/p>\n
