If you are a big time golfer or fan of the game this is a great tear jerker; and done by the best, Disney. Perfectly captured one of the greatest true goof stories of all time while also catching the emphasis that Golf might just be the greatest game of all time. The plot moved at a perfect pace from the beginnings of golf and how a poor boy rose to the top to the humble beginnings of a caddy with as dream who's family didn't fully support it to bringing the two together to capture one of the greatest golf stories.

I’ve seen a few Golf films in my time, to bagger vance, caddyshank and happy gilmore and many more and it was a decent golf film with a few hole in ones. I loved the effects, some decent golf action and good performance from Shia Labeouf that’s definitely come a talented actor also thought the ending was heart warming. Stephen Dillane & Stephen Marcus look like they could play a Laurel & Hardly act ha

This movie was surpisingly well done. It falls in line with the list of Disney "based on true stories" like _The Rookie_, _Miracle_, and _Remember the Titans_. The story in this movie is not as strong as those others, but Shia LaBeouf does such an excellent portrayal of Francis Ouimet that you hardly notice. You can't help but identify with the rags to not really riches story and his trustee caddie sidekick Eddie. The golf scenes were well shot and believable. Shia's swing was pure enough to pull this off. If you want to spend 2 hours of feel good, non-swearing, no nudity, pure entertainment then this movie is for you.

★★★★☆ (4/5) An inspiring and classically structured underdog sports drama. The early 20th-century setting gives it a refined, almost old-fashioned tone that suits the story well. The golf sequences are surprisingly tense, building momentum toward a satisfying payoff. Earnest, uplifting, and grounded in true events, a solid feel-good sports film.

I just love this movie. It is a classic uplifting underdog story that is well made and that lives from excellent acting performances by the whole cast. One can thus excuse that they took some liberties on the historic truth for dramatic purposes. Though the core of the story is true and thus makes it even more remarkable.
