Great Movie!

Golf lovers, avid movie watchers, and "true story" enthusiasts, this movie is for you! The commentary alone makes this movie a "must own", while the stellar cast of both known and unknown actors makes the story of Bobby Jone's life inspiring and encouraging.

Following the years of Bobby Jone's early life to his last years as an amateur golfer, this movie depicts the life of a man who never compromised, faced his difficulties, and healed the wounds of his own extended family through the pursuit of a dream. What precisely is that dream? It's for you to figure out as you watch this well written and produced film that takes you on a journey of extraordinary courage and a desire to be the BEST at what he loves the most.
