    • Trivia
      At the final tournament, the long haired golfer is PGA pro Rickie Fowler.
    • Goofs
      When Luke lines up for the final putt, he changes putters. As fourteen clubs are the maximum allowed in one player's golf bag during a round played under the Rules of Golf, it would be very unlikely that a professional golfer would carry two putters in the bag in a round.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Johnny Crawford: How can a game have such an effect on a man's soul? The way I see it, how can it not? You don't choose the game, it chooses you. And when it does, life and golf become forever connected. That's how it was for a young man named Luke Chisholm.

    7/10
    It's Disney's "Cars" movie but with humans.
    My 12 year old pointed out that the story lines and characters are eerily similar to Disney's Cars movie. Instead of racing, it's golf. It's fun to watch just for that angle. Most of the poor reviews stem from "Christophobics" who are scared to see someone of faith displayed in a favorable light. The faith element is only a small part of the movie and incidental to the story. This isn't a Christian movie but does portray characters who have a faith. Good show.
