The Rules of Golf (1998)

X-rays of broken Joy-riders' bones show that speed kills or at best breaks bones, but while out playing golf, Tony drives home the point that he'd never be seen dead in a passenger seat.

Storyline

Tony, aged 14, dodges the paramilitaries in Belfast to pursue his dangerous love of stealing and driving cars. While out with his mates playing golf, he observes the ancient and modern rules of the game: drive fast whatever the cost, never get into the passenger seat if you're the driver, and should an accident with an automobile or a baseball bat with nails in it get you down, you're still the hero with the balls to flirt with a pretty nurse, even though you're 4 years short of coming-of-age!
