One of my favorite characters.  One year in college, i dressed up as Carl Spackler - assistant greenskeeper - for our halloween party and never broke character throughout the night.    Carl represented the everyman - at least the everyman who has a lot on order..due to credit problems; who wants to kill gophers and doesn’t even need a reason and who comes out of nowhere, a former greenskeeper about to become the Masters champion!  

As Carl once said, “…My enemy, my foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. And, whenever possible, to look like one. I’ve gotta get inside this guy’s pelt and crawl around for a few days.”
