Samuel L. Jackson is Addicted to Golf

Samuel L. Jackson loves playing golf, a game that he has become very proficient at. Jackson has a clause in his film contracts that allows him to take a day off for playing golf during production, at least twice a week.

Producers also have to agree to pay for his course fees before he signs up for films.

He says, "It's part of my perk package... Two days off, they have to pay for it. Generally, the way they make that happen is they just move me onto a golf course when they send me to town."

"My assistant generally has the responsibility of finding the new courses, setting up the tee times and giving me the directions."
