The kid with the glasses who keeps flipping the camera the bird


Anybody know the backstory about the caddy with the glasses and his use of the middle finger? He pushes his glasses up with it when they are sitting at the snack shack and holds the flag with it sticking out during the match at the end of the game. Probably elsewhere, too. I got on IMDb just to ask this question, lol!

That was Hamilton Mitchell, who played the character, "Motormouth."

After Lou breaks up the fight between Danny and Tony, and announces that "Carl Lipbaum died last week in summer school from a severe anxiety attack," you hear Motormouth say, "I heard he swallowed his vomit during a test."

Also, when the Bishop sunk his putt (just before Smails threw his golf club and hit the lady), the Bishop says "Put me down for a five". Motormouth puts his hands up with 7 fingers, indicating the Bishop actually had seven strokes, not five.
