Focus on Caddies

“Loopers: The Caddie’s Long Walk,” a documentary that explores the complex bond between a golfer and a caddie, will be shown at Guild Hall on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Hamptons International Film Festival’s Now Showing series.

Directed by Jason Baffa and narrated by Bill Murray, a onetime caddie who played the gopher-obsessed grounds­keeper in “Caddyshack,” the film was shot on the iconic courses of Pebble Beach, Augusta National, St. Andrews, Carnoustie, and others. It illuminates a number of famous caddie-golf pro partnerships as well as the rise of a Bel Air Country Club caddie from East Los Angeles who ultimately played in the Masters. Tickets are $15, $10 for members.

Female Composers

“Hear Her Song — Celebrating Female Composers and Lyricists,” a free performance by Valerie diLorenzo, a singer, and Amanda Borsack Jones, a pianist, will take place on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at the Montauk Library. Ms. diLorenzo, an award-winning cabaret artist and professional actor, will perform songs by Lynn Ahrens, Carole Bayer Sager, Dorothy Fields, Marilyn Bergman, Betty Comden, Carly Simon, and Carol King, among others.
