The local hero must find his swing

Rating: 7/10 (13 March 2001)

For all those that liked the Natural you will like this. I cannot say that I find golf has quite the same dramatic punch as base ball but it was worth watching none the less.
Adele Invergordon must rescue her father's dream project, an epic Southern golf course. She tricks two of the days greatest golfers into playing in a exhibition, the scheming local Mayor trys to sabotage it by getting the local hero, Rannulph Junuh, to play. Junuh has to exorcise some personal demons and tries to do so with the aid of a black caddy, Bagger Vance.
Junuh also has to win back the heart of his lost love, Miss Invergordon. The story is played against sumptuous Southern scenery. The accents are suitably Southern but without any racist overtones.
The story is played to its conclusion during the course of the golf exhibition match.
There are some light comedic touches and some weepie moments, so there should be something for everyone, but don't forget the Kleenex!
