HistoryDramaRomance

In 1866 St Andrews, Scotland, 15-year-old Tommy Morris is an avid golfer like his legendary and pioneering father, Tom Morris, now greenskeeper for The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, as well as the town's club- and ball-maker. The two-time winner of the first major golf tournament, The Open Championship, which he founded in 1860, Old Tom also established golf's standard of 18 holes per round. But young Tommy is beginning to chafe at his father's dictates, especially in the rapidly changing world they live in. Tommy soon outshines his father, winning The Open three consecutive times.
