November 23, 2009It is a bit long and rather predictable but the enthusiastic cast is a big help and it does look good - fine cinematography, good costumes. The pacing is uneven and it is about golf, hardly an exciting sport for most.

November 18, 2009As boring as golf... still it's a story worth telling... I find I appreciated it more when the movie ended. Jim Caviezel also makes it worth the watch, probably why I endured throughout the film, good choice for the actor, though he looks a little old to play the age 28.

An absolute must for any golfer out there. -

No doubt we should be grateful that Jones' story isn't churned up into soap opera and hyped with false crises and climaxes; it is the story of a golfer, and it contains a lot of golf. full review

Amazingly, it engages your attention and even respect while trotting out every clubhouse cliche in the book. full review

It is nice to be reminded every so often that competition can be emotionally rewarding as much, if not more, than monetary gain. full review
