20 year old Francis Ouimet doesn’t know that golf is an elitist sport not intended for his kind. He just knows that he loves the game and seems to posses God-given gifting for the sport. This true story about the winner of the 1913 U.S. Open is a little slow moving, but is inspiring and appropriate for the whole family. Packed with much deeper themes of restoration that most would imagine, Francis ends up not only redeeming his own story, but that of his hero, pro golf champion, Harry Vardon who overcame similar obstacles, and most importantly, his own father.
