Start honing up on your "Caddyshack" quotes because it looks like a festival dedicated to the best golf movie of all time is coming to Louisville.

Will Russell, co-founder of Lebowski Fest, wants to stage Caddyshack Fest next summer. In classic Russell fashion, he doesn't yet have a date or location but he does have a website, a social media following and national interest.

Just as Lebowski Fest celebrates "The Big Lebowski," Caddyshack Fest will honor the 1980 comedy starring Chevy Chase, Billy Murray, Ted Knight and a mechanical gopher.

While not a hit at the time, the movie long ago developed a cult following and groundskeeper Carl Spackler is considered one of Murray's finest achievements.

Russell, who is partnering with Matt Davis, said that having Murray attend is his goal. Murray's son, Luke, is a University of Louisville basketball coach and Murray is known for attending Luke's home games, so Russell has got that going for him.

Russell said that his mental health advocacy organization, Everything Will Be OK, would be a beneficiary of the festival. The festival has been mentioned by Entertainment Weekly, Golf.com, The AV Club and IndieWire, among others.

"People are freaking out," said Russell, who hopes to announce a date and location this week. He already has a band lined up, Tony and the Tan Lines, that performs the movie's classic Kenny Loggins song, "I"m Alright."

"We wanted to get Kenny Loggins but he costs around half a million dollars," Russell said.

Get ready, Louisville. This is really everyone's chance to "be the ball."
