Plot

Part of the popular Dorf series, in which Tim Conway, beloved comedian and staple of The Carol Burnett Show, portrays an eccentric Scandinavian midget named Dorf, Dorf on Golf features Derk Dorf, golf expert. Derk demonstrates Dorfian golf technique: how to chip, dive, putt, and how to locate the 19th hole. He also teaches viewers the importance of a proper golf stance, which involves keeping one's head low and elbows tucked in. Turns out, Derk Dorf has invented several outlandish contraptions to help golfers maintain good form. Dork's creepy caddy Leonard adds laughs, as does the famous Boom Boom La Rue. ~ Betsy Boyd, All Movie Guide

Cast

Characters

  • Dorf is the main character, giving instruction in how to play golf. He is apparently Swedish (his accent is from Conway's "Mr. Tudball" character on the Carol Burnett Show) and is about as tall as a 5 year old; his height and some humorous movements are achieved by Conway standing in a hole, with fake shoes attached to his knees. As a result, Dorf always stands in one place.
  • Leonard is Dorf's clueless caddy, about twice as tall as Dorf. As Dorf tells Leonard what to do, he'll usually answer "Right" (when he finds the Five-Iron, Dorf proclaims, "You get your numbers and colors down, you're going to be a real threat!")
  • Boom Boom is a posing character that "helps" Dorf out when he's explaining the "dog-leg" hole. She annoys Dorf when her hot dog sticks to his stick and when she drops an illustration because she's fixing her hair.
