Synopsis: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0260924/synopsis
This movie was R-rated and I considered it a 3/5 star movie. Rated-R for language by the MPAA. But I also think that a brief scene of a girl swimming without any clothes was another reason for the R rating. The 3/5 rating was for it being a golf movie with followable plot. The deuctions were for R-rating and bitter-sweet/sad ending.
The basic outline for the movie was that of a young 13 yeard old who over one summer goes from "looper" (caddy) to golf prodigy. Along the way he mets a man who was talented but had a tainted past with women along with a reason he doesn't play golf anymore. This man, along with help from a caddie with no thumb, help develop the "prodigy" into not only a better golfer but a love for the game. He also takes a liking to a girl, has a struggling relationship with his father and encounters a tragic evebt near the end of the movie.
