Synopsis

With a pint-sized caddie (Josh Flitter) at his side, amateur golfer Francis Ouimet (Shia LaBeouf) shocked the world at the 1913 U.S. Open when he outplayed defending British champ Harry Vardon in what was dubbed “The Greatest Game Ever Played.” But Ouimet’s rise to the top wasn’t easy, with a hard-nosed father (Elias Koteas) and a hard-knock life to overcome. Actor Bill Paxton helms this inspiring true-life story based on actual events.

The golf swing was portrayed brilliantly in this movie. Excellent use of slow motion.
