Goofs
The morning after a torrential rain near the end of the film, Luke is instructed to bury a box in a small hole dug into the earth. The dirt - whether recently dug or not - would have shown some moisture retained from the storm and would not have been the fine dusty powdered dirt in this scene following that size of a thunderstorm. The hole, too, would have shown some moisture absorbed into the earth.

Quotes
[first lines]
Johnny Crawford: How can a game have such an effect on a man's soul? The way I see it, how can it not? You don't choose the game, it chooses you. And when it does, life and golf become forever connected. That's how it was for a young man named Luke Chisholm.

It's not close to the classics, but it's still worth it.

As I finished watching yet another ambiguous, artistic, morally grey, dramatic, and emotionally draining show, I saw this and figured why not. Yes, the script is VERY simple, the dialogue is sometimes dumb but overall, this movie was just a nice, easy to watch, feel good movie. It gave me a nice break from all the really dark and real content that is popular (not that either of those are bad). If you're looking for a basic movie that will simply entertain you, I'd say give this a shot. As I said, it's a feel good redemptive story with a great cast.
