The infamous gopher is a symbol for the movie Caddyshack and is even on the front cover of the dvd and vhs. The story of the gopher is sort of an underlying portion that involves the war between Carl Spackler (Bill Murray)and the destructive rodent. The gopher is originally discovered by the character Judge Smails who is an uptight founding member of the club and needless to say he loses it. Carl Spackler uses many techniques to try and rid of the pesky gopher but he just seems to always get outsmarted. Some of these methods include pumping the holes with water, creating fake squirrels made of dynamite, camouflaged hunting, and even blowing up the course which fittingly ties the whole story together. Luckily the gopher escapes all danger and gets to dance away the movie to his favorite song. This "gopher" part of the movie was criticized largely during its release but has grown in support ever since.
