The Greatest Game Ever Played

A great surprise movie. I don't even like golf, though I did play a little as a kid, but they do make it interesting.

See it.

This is the original underdog, sports hero story. The amazing thing is that it is basically a true story. (Except for the "love interest.") All of the stuff you think is made up is stone cold true. From the set-up with the father, to the exceptional shots made in the tournaments are all true.

Update: I should say, it isn't mostly about golf. It is about competition in general, and the relationships of the people involved. Though there is some about the golf itself, they seem to make it at least as much about performing under the pressure of a championship competition.
