Robert Tyre Jones, Jr., aka "Bobby Jones" rises from complete obscurity to become a golfing legend. Jones overcomes his own fierce temper, intense passion, and perfectionist tendencies to master the game and win the Grand Slam, the U.S., British, and Amateur Opens in golf, a feat unequaled even today. But it is Jones's style, personality, and character that separate him from the other professionals in his field. When Jones realizes that his unparalleled success may be destroying those he loves he's presented with an astounding proposition, one that shocks the world.

Anachronisms:
The golf courses supposed to be Oakmont and Merion have abundant coniferous trees - not at all a characteristic of either course. And the greens, tees and fairways are cut to today's short lengths and "striped" by modern-style mowers. The equipment of Bobby Jones's era was incapable of doing this. Green speeds in the movie are much too quick - in the 1920s and 1930s, they were about one-quarter of today's speeds.
