Golf onscreen is about as absorbing as it is on TV and nearly half the movie is devoted to the 36 hole final competition.

Most of the movie is about an epic golf tournament, but it is not a sports movie in any conventional sense.It is the first zen movie about golf.

It seems to have delusions of being a deep, meaningful piece of work, but if you disregard that false notion, theres nothing not to like about it.
