The Accidental Golfer is a Swedish comedy film released in 1991. The film follows the story of Stig-Helmer Olsson, a clumsy and inept man who is challenged to a bet by his girlfriend's golf-obsessed businessman boyfriend. The bet states that Stig-Helmer has only one week to become better at golf than the boyfriend.
Stig-Helmer has never played golf before and has no interest in the sport, but he reluctantly accepts the bet. He enlists the help of his Norwegian friend Ole, who claims to be an expert golfer. Together, they start training Stig-Helmer for the big competition.
The training includes various comical exercises, such as hitting golf balls into a lake and using a vacuum cleaner to simulate the golf swing. Stig-Helmer struggles to learn the sport, but with perseverance and the help of his friend, he slowly starts making progress.
As the week progresses, Stig-Helmer becomes more and more confident in his golfing abilities, but his girlfriend is still skeptical. On the day of the competition, Stig-Helmer is nervous but determined. The match is intense, with both players performing well, but in the end, Stig-Helmer wins the bet by a narrow margin.
The Accidental Golfer is a hilarious and heartwarming film about the power of determination and friendship. The film stars Lasse Brandeby, who played Stig-Helmer, and Bjorn Gustafson, who played Ole. The film was directed by Lasse Aberg and was a box office hit in Sweden.
