... that Bill is an avid golfer, playing in as many Pro-Am tournaments as will have him. The love of the game can be traced back to his first job as a caddy in Illinois - foreshadowing his most well known role in Caddyshack. Bill Murray's love of golf has gotten him into a few pickles in the last few years. He was arrested for drunk driving in a golf cart in the city streets of Stockholm Sweden, threw a coke bottle and hit a spectator in the face and in April he hit a woman with a wild shot on a golf course in Tampa Bay sending her to the hospital for stitches. She said he came to visit her in the hospital and made her laugh. Here's a clip of some of his antics at the AT&T Pebble Beach Classic.
... that Bill has had a very successful professional collaboration with writer/director/actor and fellow Ghostbuster Harold Ramis. They acted together in Stripes, Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2. And Bill was directed by Harold in Caddyshack and Groundhog Day.
... that Bill Murray joined Saturday Night Live in it's second season and stayed for four seasons, through 1979. Although he would return many times over the years as a guest host. Here's a little sample of the comedy work he did on the show:
... that Bill Murray and his brothers own the Caddyshack Restaurant in St. Augustine, Florida.
... that Bill Murray owns a minor league baseball team called the St. Paul Saints.
