Still looking . DEAD of NIGHT wasn't the movie. Movie is One of the golfers cheat on the last hole to win the bet/girl and the loser walks into the pond with his clubs and drowns. Then he comes back as a ghost to haunt the couple. The movie is old and in black and white. It was on the local public TV but they have not been helpful. Please help as I've been looking FOREVER!

Are you positive it's not Dead of Night? Here's a description from the film: "A comic tale about two old friends who vie for the love of the same woman. They agree to play golf for her, but one of them cheats. The loser cannot bear to live without the woman, and kills himself. However he comes back to haunt the winner, and eventually swaps places with him"

Agree with Quinn - here's some quotes from the anthology Dead Of Night - there are 4 (5?) separate segments told in Dead of Night, that all somehow come together. These are quotes from the Golfing Story segment:

[Golf buddies Larry and George, in a pub, are arguing over the beautiful Mary, whom they both desire, and who likes both of them. Mary sits crowded between them, yet they act as though she isn't there. All three look depressed, their chins slumped into their hands]
Larry Potter: I wish you were dead, old man.
George Parratt: It'd be just as good if you were.
Larry Potter: George! I've got it!
George Parratt: What?
Larry Potter: We'll play for her!
George Parratt: Tomorrow morning. Eighteen holes!
Larry Potter: Match play!
George Parratt: The loser to vanish from the scene.
Larry Potter: Forever.
George Parratt: Put it there, then.
[They shake hands]
Mary: Of course! Why didn't we think of it sooner!
