You're not the first to suggest I try watching Caddyshack. So, I did. A few minutes was all I could take. I saw neither value, nor comedy. I guess it's just me. Maybe the less sophistication a comedy has the more popular it becomes to the general public. Maybe (also), I don't fit the category of general public.

Actor Bill Murray takes a golf club to plants along the country club walkway and gets belly laughs... I don't get it.

Not necessarily. Quite often less "sophisticated" comedies are total dogs at the box office. It's just that Caddyshack was a particularly good one. Eldrick Woods' favorite film of all time, in fact. And a lot of other golfers who have a great deal of respect for the game love it as well. Just slapstick fun. I suspect it was cathartic viewing for Woods after his quite serious golfing childhood.
